WilliamCarrson - no, I won't delete your account because I believe in open debate and free speech; I did, however, give your comment a thumbs-down vote; so there.

I think it's so sexy the way you reduce everything I'm talking about down to whether I'm getting laid or not; it's typical of narrow-minded guys to avoid self-reflection of our own sexism by questioning the other guy's cocksmanship.

Just insult the size of my penis and get it over with, o.k.? Run along now, the adults want to talk.

First, to all those concerned about my getting laid - my sex life is just fine, thank you.

As for the comments about the young fellow's race - again, the intention was to draw a parallel to his treatment of Ms. Hudgens and the way that someone may make assumptions about him (or any of us) because of race, gender, age, etc. I think it's clear to that I was not stating a specific belief about his race but I was rather setting an example of how racism and sexism share a lot in common.

"but maybe she shouldn't have let someone take pictures of her body"

Da, I understand why you'd make this comment - but this is part of my point: in a culture where women are valued for their bodies many women feel that going into modeling (or pornography, or even prostitution) is the only way to make a living.

It's wrong for us to fault her for "letting someone take pictures" when we - heterosexual males - are creating the market for this content.

Please, Call me Thomas :)

Also guys dont make fun of him or be mean... He has his own opinions on way people should act... Honestly i don't act that way in real life... That is how i make videos, make people laugh, and get tons of views... But really you think i would act that way near another human being? No i wouldn't... It was just a joke....

Your usage of parallelism gender = race is irrelevant.

They only share to a degree of discrimination, but certainly not the same.

You basically making a race assumption is silly, instead, if you taking his gender role as being sexist towards women, that would be relevant. Otherwise, you sound like an ignorant white male thinking an asian kid needs to be judged because he is asian.

your rhetoric is simply a failure.

Didn't watch the rest but of course she didn't want them all over the internet but she should of learned the first time around that she shouldn't take photos in the nude, I can understand if paparazzi took the photos but she was really careless.

wht you say is right I agree at 12 yrs specially I dont know about after 18+

[JJAGtec]

Liar, you don't like women your GAY!

[jid314]

No, the adults think you are a tool too.

[jid314]

Wrong. You don't have to have "legal permission" to release pictures that are given to you, unless she was underage at the time (which was possible).

2, he's like 11, focus your time on someone who cares (which may be nobody).

[ChiMSP]

Liar, you don't like women. DaPham is more of a man than u. Just stop who cares.

[mindhood]

Used unfair words to refer to the woman's body? "Titties", "she is really hot" WTF?

[slothtopsy]
