Going Gaga over raunch dressed up as liberation : Comments

By Melinda Tankard Reist, published 19/3/2010

Lady Gaga isn't pushing boundaries. She's a conformist contributing to a distorted, one-dimensional cultural script.

My daughter and all her friends just love Lady Gaga.
I think she has a fantastic voice, with admittedly a somewhat eccentric dress sense.

I predict she will be around for quite awhile, maybe reinventing herself several times like Kylie and Madonna have done.

Sex sells, just like it always has done. Most teenagers love Lady Gaga, just like most teenagers loved Elvis Presley when he came on stage and presented his gyrating pelvis for all to admire!

Benk, men also use the 'raunchy sexuality' you mentioned about women.
I remember watching Jim Morrison, Michael Hutchence and Kurt Cobain's overt sexuality on stage, and enjoying it immensely!

Come on guys, this sort of thing has been around since the first cave man learnt to beat a stick together rhythmically, and all the young cave girls swooned!

It wouldn't be wrong for you to burn your own down, runner.

It would be wrong for you to burn down one that others lived in.

Other people live on earth, and are concerned for it's welfare.

Since you have no idea what that might constitute, insulting people who are nonetheless concerned and trying is just dumb.

Do keep on making fundies look like twits runner. An army of atheists could not harm public perception of biblical literalism as much as you do daily.

From Elvis to this ga ga lady it has been a sad progression of commercialising sex. Every year it gets worse. Whats next a tit out here and there. A flash of pubes. Oops sorry I forgot they dont have them any more do they. A bit of knob sticking out the top of the already low slung pants.

This sexualisation arms race will only end badly for all. Along with the new death porn as witnessed on froggy tv recently and the pleasure many seem to get from watching others misfortune, society is becoming more and more debauched and decadent and it wont be long before we have live televised executions, extreme fighting will include "to the death" and kids will participate in orgys as a teen right of passage.
And people wonder why I am becoming a hermit. LOL

'It would be wrong for you to burn down one that others lived in.'

Good to see you actually do believe in absolutes Rusty despite the pseudo science you hide behind.

Actually no, runner.

A straw poll of people who live in houses shows that those who have invested effort to build or buy their houses don't like vandals. People who have deliberately not so invested in their yurts and hogans fret less.

Ethical behaviour stems from making an estimation of what other people reactions might be, usually taking one's own reaction as a useful data point.

Morals is institutionally enforcing a particular interpretation of this regardless of the desires or interests of the others involved.

As I said, you can burn your own down any time. Make it clear you don't care and others might burn yours down for you

Do look up how ethics and tribal rules drastically predate anything you might regard as a basis for morals. Yours are simply institutionalised derivatives. Some are evn effective, mainly because they are essentially copies of other rules that owe nothing to your religion.

Oh Rusty back to moral relativism when it suites you. Why am I surprised?
