RObert= headhunter of Christians! LOL now I’ve heard it all.

Gibo, seriously, RObert just asks questions about some things that some Christians say.
In another thread recently, I mentioned that the Christians on OLO (apart from one or two, occasionally) mostly let each other get away with claiming anything (related to Christianity) and never question each other.
I didn’t think I was ‘hunting’ anyone and I think that RObert is saying something similar. There’s nothing wrong with asking questions about ludicrous statements.

That Runner implies that the posters on OLO who reject the idea of compulsory filters are into child porn says more about his warped mind than about any porn lovers’ minds.

I happen to find porn quite boring to watch and don’t waste time on it, but I wouldn’t judge anyone who enjoys it, let alone dump a compulsory filter in their pc.
I’m so over fundamentalists who continuously tell others how to behave, what to wear, who they can or can’t marry or have sex with or in this case, what they can or cannot watch.

Runner, yes I would agree that addiction to anything is a problem including addiction to porn but not everyone who enjoys porn is addicted. Many watch it occasionally. Much like enjoying a glass of wine or smoking a joint occasionally doesn’t mean one is addicted.

Gibo brings up ONE reasonable argument to think about though- how would we know whether a porn star is really at the legal age?
I hope that there is adequate control on the age of the models/porn stars.
Also, some countries consider 18 the legal age and some countries 16, so when someone watches porn from overseas it might be illegal to watch it in Australia if the girls in the flick are 16.

Crikey - R0bert's not only a witch, but also a "hunter of Christians" - and a "headhunter" to boot!

And there I was thinking he's one of the most consistently reasonable contributors to this forum.

Fortunately, Gibo has now convinced me that the evil R0bert needs a good "canning".

Gibo “But I do find it odd, very odd, that a grown mature man has a porn collection.”

I collect for its artistic merit, Gibo…

As they say, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”
and doubtless, what you might consider “outrageous” I consider “normal, everyday”…

DH Lawrence was considered a pornographer until the 1970s. since then’ Lady Chatterleys Lover’ has been read freely by millions so too his naughty Aussie tale, ‘Kangaroo’. John Cleland’s ‘Fanny Hill’ is a bawdy tale likewise censored and banned from publication for our 200 years.

Aubrey Beardsley was an exquisite Victorian pen and ink illustrator. He did the artwork for Oscar Wilde’s original publication of his book “Salome”. He died very young of consumption, otherwise I feel sure he would have become far more of an icon of that era, he had such volumes of raw talent.

I have no doubt, what so ever, that you and many others would call his art “pornography”.

So I will ask you a question

Considering that I do not attempt to force you to read or view anything which I consider “morally acceptable”, -

please explain by what right are you are entitled to forcibly (through censorship) deny me the right to read or view what you consider ‘morally unacceptable”?

But I am pleased you have no authority to impose the strict limits upon human creativity which you demand here and I will work to my dying breath to ensure the small minds who demand limits never prevail.

Oh and I have a lot of reproductions of Salvador Dali works which you would find equally offensive…

Hey Robert “dont want to talk to you RObert because you will twist what I say. I know you as a 'hunter of christians'.”

Some would find a compliment in there Robert…

I don’t think you are a hunter, nor a stalker LOL… it is a great line though… ROFLMAO

Thanks to those who've had some fun with the accusations leveled against me. I'm getting some good laughs out of it.

I am a little bothered by CJ's "the evil R0bert needs a good "canning"." - I hope that's for legitimate disciplinary reasons and not some perverse interest in hitting others buttocks. If the job does need doing perhaps CJ could outsourse the task to someone a lot less male.

Col I do take some comfort in Gibo' dislike of me. I'd hate to have to share dinner with his heroes (Benny Hinn, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker etc).
