If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. - Albert Einstein

@MrSupasexi do you know what's required in order to cherry pick verses from the bible?? secular beliefs and rational thought!

you're on your way, kid... you're on your way.

atheism ftw.

[skywize]

@swygster This, I believe.

[swygster]

@skywize Japan has one of the lowest crime and rape rates of all time. Gun violence is almost completely 0. The rape rate is very, very low. Far lower than most countries and several times lower than the U.S. rape rate. And the gun violence comparison between Japan and the U.S. is so ridiculous it's embarrassing.

[tranquility4all]

@skywize Obviously You're not a Mature Adult. It appears You're stating the majority of porn films which depict rape are produced in Japan. Present documentation to support Your ASSertion. It also appears You're spending way too much time watching Porn. Maybe the reason You're constantly watching porn is because no one wants to waste their time having Sex with an Immature Jerk like You. If You want to have a dialogue, Fine. If You want to trade insults, No Problem.

@tranquility4all How exactly am I naive? How many times did I say that I wasn't sure one way or another? Did I not say specifically that 'Many are likely fantasy'? You are reading far more into a simple conversation. Perhaps you should try speaking with adults once you have matured just a little bit. Good day.

[tranquility4all]

@skywize Are You so naive to believe what is depicted in porn is real. Ever hear of Play Acting ? There is plenty of porn produced in the U.S.A. which depicts rape. It doesn't mean rape is occurring.

[skywize]

@tranquility4all I'm not failing, you're asking the same question over and over, and expecting different answers. Go look for yourself. Go to any porn website, and look up the word 'rape' or 'forced'. I'd say about 80%+ is Japanese, give or take about 10% for Chinese, as sometimes I'm not sure.

[tranquility4all]

@skywize I'm not trying to start an Argument. However it seems You're stating Japan produces more horrific porn (according to your standards) videos than any country. If You're trying to form a correlation between the rate of Rape committed in Japan or any country to the type of porn videos produced in Japan. You're failing !

[tranquility4all]

@skywize You stated "I'm not certain about the Rate rape in Japan due to the rather horrific porn coming out of Japan". My Question to You is, What makes the Porn produced in Japan more horrific than the Porn produced in the U.S.A. or any other Country ? Are You suggesting the amount of horrific porn (according to Your standards) is produced in Japan than all countries ? Are You an Expert on Porn ? Do You watch an extensive amount of Porn produced around the World ?

[skywize]

@tranquility4all I did not say most porn comes from Japan. Reread that line. I happen to spend quite a bit of time watching porn as I am single. No, I don't know for a fact that the rape in those videos is real, as I have said. I can't watch that type of porn, it turns me off.

[tranquility4all]

@skywize Porn Videos are produced around the World. It's foolish to ASSume the majority of Porn videos are produced in Japan. Before You wage a moral war against any country because of Rape Ratios of Porn videos produced You should get Your facts in order. You don't know if Rape is occurring in these videos. How much time do You spend watching Porn ?
