Let me start by sayin get your fat corporate asses off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos. This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you we'd go to your damn website. To people who want greedy corporates gone thumbs up and copy this on Vevo vids.
@LetterKillethProject Jesus is not real. Our bodies were made for living. We have sex because it feels good. We make love because in the moment we feel like we are connected to someone, it isn't spiritual, it's chemical. Endorphins and such make us feel euphoric, but then we fall out of love mostly every time because everything is ephemeral, nothing lasts forever. We don't know why we are here, and that is why religion is established in the first place, not because you know but because you don't
@jmtley You're right!!! But, then again, TIME LASTS FOREVER. So not everything is ephemeral. OH, and DISTANCE is too!!! If Universe is infinite, then DISTANCE could be meassure forever.
@MindEnchantress Spirituality is an empty term. But if you want to go ahead and disregard logic for why you feel the way you do while you are having sex, then go right ahead, you are just being willfully ignorant.
@jmtley If spirituality is an empty term, why did you feel the need to use it to explain yourself? I don't disregard logic, I just don't put it on a pedestal. I know the physical/chemical explanation behind the reasons for enjoying sex. But have you ever considered that there is a deeper explanation - that we were privy in deciding how our bodies would react to chemicals and that these reactions would resonate on all planes? I was ignorant when I relied solely on logic, I hope you overcome this.
@MindEnchantress Maybe because you were using the term and so I had to address it?! I've considered that there are deeper meaning to things quite a lot but until I know for sure if those deeper meanings actually hold water I'm not going to subscribe to that way of thinking. I'm not saying you're wrong exactly, I'm saying you're wrong until it can be proven. I'm not the ignorant one just because I rely on things that can proven and oust things that can't that cloud my judgment. I'm malleable.
@jmtley That comment is composed of quite a lot of statements, some of them verifiable and others not so, strung together as if an argument was being constructed. In fact, it is little more than a string of non-sequitors.
surely I like this song a lot and also, as far as I understand, the song is about domestic violence, which is something I repudiate. but from it to pornography, there is a big gap to fill. anyway, in writings songs and making videos she can do whatever she wants, but seriously is far from obvious that domestic violence leads to pornography or that all women and men involved in porn industry suffered domestic violence... I guess, but not sure...
I once did a project for an art class using cutouts from a (duplicate) porn mag with black bars over the naughty bits. My teacher expressed relief that I didn't cover the eyes, lol
So many women (& men) who are victims of child sex abuse end up in the sex industry. Pornographers make money off of people who learn early to think of themselves as worthy of sexual use & abuse. This is such a brave video-- (especially at a time when most men I know would defend to the death their right to porn)--pairing typically cliched, objectified imagery of women in porn with those haunting lyrics of a child witnessing male violence against a woman is powerful, devastatingly so. Brava PJ.
@natashaclaire But I don't really get how that makes sense... she used both male and female pictures... and I don't really understand how pornography objectifies anyone, because everyone is an individual -- so maybe it objectifies some but generalising (especially on things like this) is a way of objectifying as well... but that's just my opinion.
@natashaclaire What about those who weren't abused? What about female pornographers? What about porn that people make in their bedrooms n share online (amateur)? And porn that doesn't involve abuse...
@Kekkeyu There is porn that shows gentle couples. There is porn that depicts dominate males. There is porn that depicts dominate females. There is porn that depicts all kinds of fetishes that may seem strange to people who do not understand them.
But kids start looking at porn at about 14 I guess.
Those kids think what they see is real and normal, even if it's some kind of fetish or something like that. Kids learn that "jerking off" on a woman's face is normal. And that's wrong.
@natashaclaire Do you actually have any evidence that more sexually abused children end up in porn than any other industry? Even if there was a correlation, implying that sexual abuse is in any way responsible for pornography is absurd radical feminist dogma. Dentists have the highest suicide rate of any profession; are you willing to make a similar link between dentistry and mental illness? No, it isn't male porn users who "defend their right to porn", but people who respect freedom.

@freewheelinQ Time is not infinite, nor is distance.
illistas 7 months ago
@illistas SPACE is INIFINTE. Therefore, the distance from any point of it to "the end" of it would be INFINITE too!!!
And if you meassure the time you spent in going that distance, that time would be INFINITE too.
For any given person, HIS or HER time might be ephemeral, but that doesn't mean that TIME as a whole, is!
The same with distance. For two particular points, distance might be short and ephemeral. But that doesn't mean that DISTANCE as a whole is.

@freewheelinQ No. Our universe is ever expanding, but has it's borders, time is a field within those borders and so is space.
