Harvey Weinstein: Another Good Liberal...

[rogue06]

"Free love" is a lie from the pit of hell.

A philosophy exemplified by the song by Stephen Stills, of Crosby Stills Nash fame, "Love the One You're With" which encourages people to screw around with anyone and everyone when you aren't with your spouse. I wonder how many relationships that concept has destroyed.

[One Bad Pig]

I think part of why porn tempts so many people is because our society has created an unhealthy interest in it.

Well, yes. "Free love" tends to do that.

Instead of sex being seen as natural, healthy and wholesome it has been relegated to the status of something dirty, to be engaged in only via strict social rules within marriage. In short, it has become forbidden fruit to be indulged in secretly and furtively.

Have you been living under a rock for the past 50 years? Sex has been something to be openly indulged in pretty much wherever and with whomever you want to for decades. And even within marriage, it has rarely been seen as "dirty" or "forbidden fruit to be indulged in secretly and furtively".

And the more repressive the society, the more it seems to flourish, e.g. during the Victorian era..

We're over a century removed from the Victorian era - and it has never flourished more than today, which has been thoroughly anti-Victorian for decades now.

Hence, my reference to the “unhealthy interest” in promiscuous and furtive sex as indulged in via porn etc. Sex should be seen as a natural, healthy and wholesome part of life, not something that is shameful.

So many posts on pervert Hefner just few days back. He tried to take shame of free sex away using porn rag of his, guess what, that just led to more porn.

A 2013 video clip from "The View" has recently resurfaced in which former child actor Corey Feldman told an incredulous Barbara Walters about the sexual abuse that he and his best friend suffered and which he believes led to his friend's abuse of drugs and eventual suicide. When he warned parents about the dangers of letting their children into show business, Walters shouted him down, saying, "You're damaging an entire industry!"

Weinstein is angel compared to others in Hollywood. Sad!

[Christianbookworm]

If only the hollywood people could live up to the standard of fictional heroes that actually have moral standards. I'm not familiar with the movies this guy produced, so does anyone know who the best character morality wise was in all the movies and what that character acted like? Weinstien should have asked himself what that character would do. Since he can't ask what Jesus would do.

[Tassman]

Well, yes. "Free love" tends to do that.

What creates an unhealthy interest in sex and porn is the enforced repression of our natural instincts, which can consequently break out in perverted ways. It’s no accident that the worst offenders tend to be those from a repressive religious background.

Sexual expression is more open and healthy than the repressed hypocrisy of former eras certainly. Surely that’s not a bad thing?

We're over a century removed from the Victorian era - and it has never flourished more than today, which has been thoroughly anti-Victorian for decades now.

Prostitution reached its highest levels in the UK during the puritanical, conformist Victorian era and much the same occurred under the rigid puritan conformity of Calvin’s Geneva and Zwingli’s Zurich.

The evidence is all around you that it IS a bad thing, yet you're laughably trying to blame it on conservatives. It's like saying a sign reading "Shoplifters Will Be Protected" is responsible for an increase in theft.

"It's your fault for trying to repress human nature. "

“Porn in the USA: Conservatives are biggest consumers”.

Fake News. Just look at study itself

Controlling for broadband access, states show remarkable similarity in their subscription quantities, as shown in Table 2. Dividing state subscription counts by the FCC’s Broadband Deployment quantities, the most-subscribing state is Utah (where 5.47 of every 1,000 broadband households subscribed to the service at issue), while the least-subscribing state is Montana (1.92 per 1000 broadband households). The ratio of these extremes is just 2.85—relatively small in comparison to states’ diversity in other respects.

So difference in average count of subscription is not significant. Just look at actual article, not just sensational headline:

A new nationwide study (pdf) of anonymised credit-card receipts from a major online adult entertainment provider finds little variation in consumption between states.

“When it comes to adult entertainment, it seems people are more the same than different,” says Benjamin Edelman at Harvard Business School.

Fake News lies, spins, misrepresents, like we all know they do!

Sexual expression is more open and healthy than the repressed hypocrisy of former eras certainly. Surely that’s not a bad thing?

Prog Tassman refuses to see what is in front of eyes of his. Sad!

My turn to make wish: if only they would all be jailed/castrated/executed for evils of theirs!!!!

Hey, at least mine has small chance of happening!

[demi-conservative]

"It's your fault for trying to repress human nature. "

Reminds me of progs always excuse Obama, blaming Bush.

"It's never our fault!!! "

[Mountain Man]

That should have read "Shoplifters Will Be Prosecuted".

Let's see, a candidate who was guilty of merely "llocker room talk" versus a candidate who actively destroyed the lives of her husband's many sexual-assault victims in order to protect her own political career. Gee, tough choice...

It is not just locker room talk . . .

(CNN)Lawyers for one of the women who have accused Donald Trump of sexual assault subpoenaed his campaign for all documents relating to her, all communications with or about her and "all documents concerning any woman who asserted that Donald J. Trump touched her inappropriately."

This comes in the case of Summer Zervos, a former contestant on "The Apprentice" who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in 2007. The accusations were made in October of last year at a news conference.

Zervos claims Trump kissed her twice on the lips during a lunch meeting in his New York City office and on a separate occasion in Beverly Hills, she alleges he kissed her aggressively and touched her breast.

In a statement at the time, Trump denied these claims.

"To be clear, I never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago. That is not who I am as a person, and it is not how I've conducted my life. In fact, Ms. Zervos continued to contact me for help, emailing my office on April 14 of this year asking that I visit her restaurant in California," Trump said.

Looks like another meritless case against Trump. I expect this one to suddenly disappear due to lack of credibility just like all the other accusations that suddenly popped up a month before the election, and just as suddenly disappeared.

Then why is porn more prevalent now than in the victorian era?
