Shelley Lubben On Abuse In The Porn Industry - (Very NSFW)

Mauru says...

yes, it showed the lengths you will go to to make a point. Wether it is pointless lengths to make pointless points is not really my intention to judge.

*edit* To make this a bit less of a flame-bait:
It is a pretty good idea to question every video on the internet regarding its authenticity and relevance. Violence in porn and the subjugation of possibly stupid or simply desperate individuals is worth talking about. It is also worth talking about the kind of people who get stuck in this machinery and why it results in this rather disturbing footage

Did my accusation of bias further the conversation in a meaningful way?

Yes, all things are biased to a greater or less extent. Yes all things are bad or good to a greater or less extent. That doesn't stop you from judging them. It becomes dangerous/interesting when you can't tell the extent and the good or bad. Complaining about people pointing out a bias is just plain stupid.
There is ALWAYS a bias and it is ALWAYS worth discussing.

To add some perspective to the discussion: here is another report- it highlights another side of the porn industry and is not really that shocking. So what is the turth then? Probably both.

Heres a question I'd like answered: Aren't all opinions biased to a greater or less extent? Aren't opinions formed from personal experience in the topic of discussion the most bias and also sometimes the most insightful?

'Chasing Ice', Changing Lives

Mauru says...

Isn't it kind of strange.... every 3-4 years one of those "movies of good general conscience" comes out onto the movie-screen.
And people act suprised. Instead of vigorously debating the issue they either deny or shock it. There never appears to be a solid popular medial middleground. Just some weird echo that remains.

What a weird phenomenon. Someone more bitter than me might say: "A movie you have to see but pay for it?"

Romney silent on climate change

Mauru says...

Now imagine you are a campaign adviser- you just had an active (almost-)hurricane rip through the most "media-covered" city in the USA and its mayor consecutively openly addressing what should have been a core election-topic.

You advise your client to ignore the question.

I don't know what frightens me more - the fact that what is supposedly America's brightest Republican spinsters can't come up with a better solution to this... let's say somewhat foreseeable problem - or the fact that Obama campaign have gladly ignored this rather glaring chink in their opponents armor and hence probably doesn't have a truly debatable stance either...

[...was ranty post...]
Instead I am just going to state that I would very much like to put you into a time-machine, send you 4.5 years back and make you remember what the constant urge to face-palm feels like.

I can assure you that the rest of the world is currently decisively less likely in wanting to build a giant wall around your country than directly after Bush.

>> ^Yogi:


So where are you from just wondering? I just can't let this pass. Obama is worse than Bush. I'll say it again...OBAMA IS WORSE THAN BUSH. The only reason why the World...and that is intellectuals and leaders not the population but the only reason why they like Obama better than Bush is because Obama is NICER about being a fucking evil bastard. Bush just said straight up, we don't care what you think. Obama says with a smile that it doesn't matter what you think.
Obama is continuing and expanding the murderous policies from under Bush he's just being nicer about it.

Democrat Voter Fraud (again)

Mauru says...

Oh look, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_O%27Keefe

James Keefe is at it again. Yeah, that's one reliable source.
If you somehow are jaded enough to believe that this guy is not fishing and that this is all legit- look for the "interview" with a fake bono.
Apparently it needs 6 months from media-fallout to reestablishment of old patterns.
If you believe Michael Moore is borderline, you will absolutely love this guy.

President Obama: We Have Fewer Horses and Bayonets

Mauru says...

How do you call that: "Saved by the bell" For Romney?
To be fair, Obama was playing hugely on his experience there.

I am not a huge fan of Mr President, but in this whole debate Romney came across as a bit of a clown. He obviously knows a lot about business stuff, but his world-view really is pretty blurred by exactly that fact (as many have suspected).

Felix Baumgartner freefalls at 1000kph

Mauru says...

Seems like the core of the question is if human achievement requires branding.
I wonder- has anyone ever checked if any of those (max speed, max height, ...) actually carry the brand-name they were achieved under with it?

Is it like the redbull height record or the virgin speed record? The malboro weather balloon?

I guess as long as that does not hold true I can aprecciate the idea and work, doesnt mean I have to like this shitty video representation of it though.

Spanish protestors peacefully evict riot police

fear. Put yourself in the cops' shoes. Holy shit batman. Adrenaline overload.


I think adrenaline was probably only one of the bodily substances involved in this exchange. Would have loved to see a closeup of the first cop's face when his behind touched the line of cars. Relief probably doesn't cut it.
