Very few people try - the argument is usually about animals - although I've never heard anyone try to make the argument in the real world. Some people (in the safety of the intarwebs) argue that Fido is a consenting participant because he really likes peanut butter, or more repulsively because he gets a hard on and seems enthusiastic about fucking his human. I've met a few people who are into the whole K9 thing and just don't discuss it in public because they know it's pretty much instant ostracism. Eww. Really, really eww. I have a friend who to my knowledge doesn't participate, but does have a more open mind about such things who once told me that we (my then wife and I) were the only kinksters she knew with a big male German Shepard who weren't into the K9 thing. I'm still creeped the fuck out every time I find out that one of our mutual friends has a male German Shepard. I've seen posts from NAMBLA types (although not recently, usenet was a fucked up place in the 90's) making the same arguments about kids. That Timmy wasn't an abuse victim because he got off on the rape. Where the K9 thing makes me nauseous and I distance myself from acquaintances with male german shepards, the arguments about kids are up there with the most revolting things I've ever seen written - because the ones I read really didn't seem like they were trolling for a reaction, so much as trying to explain why they weren't really a monster. I genuinely hope those people are in jail now, or otherwise prevented from being in the presence of children.
I heard about this film when it was screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival. Haven't seen it though. The whole premise seems strangely hilarious and sad at the same time. <a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_(film" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoo_(film</a>)
I don't think ass burgers impacts my sense of right and wrong all that profoundly. At least not in a broader morality sense. I'm just a bit more coldly logical in my application of that sense than most people (which is not to say perfectly logical, just slightly more so than most people). I generally think things that impact someone else without their consent are wrong, other than in the exercise of fundamental human rights. IE punching someone in the face is wrong. Punching someone in the face to defend yourself is all good. I generally think that sentient creatures who can reasonably be expected to make their own decisions (IE Adult Humans with no significant mental impairments, like believing in scientology) are pretty much the only creatures capable of giving consent. Kids, Animals and retards should be treated responsibly and or slaughtered humanely. Sexuality should be reserved for like categories (consenting adults and consenting adults, retards and other retards, animals and other animals, ideally not kids and other kids, but it's less wrong than kids and any other group). I generally think that discrimination on the basis of non relevant characteristics is wrong. But that defining relevant characteristics is harder than we think. I think lowering entry standards on the basis of irrelevant characteristics is discriminatory in itself (Fine black kids, you can go to college, if you get the same grades as everyone else. Women? You can work for the fire brigade and the army when you can pass the physical. White guys, you can work as screen writers for sitcoms when you can be as funny as Ivy League educated Jews. Until then, shut the fuck up.) I think that sending more money on finding a lost pretty white girl in spain, than on thousands of kids dying of malaria and malnutrition in Africa is criminal. I think Corporal and Capital punishment doesn't work and lowers the moral standard of the judiciary for the emotional gratification of idiots, and that's a dumb reason to hurt or kill people. I think people have a right to die if they want to and denying the terminally ill assistance with that is unconscionable. I believe that denying potential fathers the right to abortion (in at least a legal context, where all legal and financial rights and obligations in regards to the child are revoked, provided they pay the cost of terminating the pregnancy, even if the mother chooses to keep the child) is discriminatory and wrong. And I think the good of the children is a bullshit excuse for all kinds of political nonsense. I believe anyone who raises child pornography as a reason for denying us freedoms is probably a cocksucker with a hidden agenda that has nothing to do with children's welfare. I believe children deserve protection, but not at the expense of adults. I guess the line is about fairness and need for me. There's no need to be cruel when slaughtering animals for meat. There's no need to deny black people or women education or jobs. There's no need to discriminate against white men to avoid denying black people and women education or jobs. It's not fair to horde all the world's money in a few rich countries. It's not fair to give it out to people who didn't earn it either. But there's no need to restrict agricultural economies to protect unprofitable farms run by white people. Etc.
Rochelle, Rochelle is actually an autobiographical film about Scootah. "A young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk"
They were actually all true. I tried to come up with a decent lie and couldn't come up with anything that sounded plausible compared to the true shit. The best I could come up with was 'Scootah once fucked a dolphin'. And the prospect of people voting for that as a real possibility was too disturbing to go there. The quack medical device is called a Violet Wand, you can look them up in wikipedia. The short stripper really is a tiny person. My friend had picked her up to hug her good night, looked at me and said catch, and threw her at me. The white rabit outfit was for a single party, and turned out to be awesome. The furry doesn't wear full fursuits, and wouldn't be allowed to wear them to my house if she did. The reciprocating saw thing was just random - but my friends know I'm good at figuring shit like that out. The midget tossing thing was in a bar. The orgies are just awesome. The dick painter guy is Tim Patch - google him if you're interested. He's actually a pretty good painter. I've also got no fucking idea what the fine art photographer sees that he wants to publish - but it sounds like a laugh so I'll probably do it. The frennumectomy is still a few cuts away from being awesome (it hurts like a bitch, so small cut followed by small cut) - but my tongue is slightly too far forward in my mouth anyway - so where oral sex on women used to give me blisters under my tongue, it's now pretty fun.
