Ever heard of common-law marriage? Thats what Kelly Monaco and her man would fall under and if they feel married then legally they can get the benefits as if they were.

Gee, I wonder if Bitsy also controls her man's mind when he sleeps and has wet dreams about other women. Everybody has those dreams, and to those who say they don't can't really know when most of us don't remember our dreams. Silly broad. Makes me think o my sister, judgemental and controlling, and THAT at times, makes some people act out and can actually cause the same problems she's trying to avoid in the marriage. Sexual fantasies are healthy to have, btw. Any shrink or sex therapists will tell you that.

Maybe Bitsy prefers people in Hollywood that get married and divorced after three years without even going to counseling like Jessica Simpson.

I still can't understand how in the hell Burnett made Elizabeth out to be a sweetheart. What a controlling...well, never mind , you have all said it all already so no need repeating it. :lol: .

I kinda like Monaco even though she is annoying at times but I am with her on this one.

I read that Kate Hudson was on the View and she said how she doesn't mind that her hubby watches porn.

Oh God, what did Bitsy say now? :lol:

Now I am not Bree, but about the AIDS mention I had to comment. Being married does not protect against HIV/AIDS. Lots of married women have been exposed to the virus because of husbands who cheat or are on the down low.

I am a liberal who thinks that porn can destabilize relationships when it becomes obsessive. I also think it is immature to think that even in the most committed and connected realtionship that both parties do not admire the beauty of others. The road to most adultery stems from unhappiness in the marriage and secrets.

I also think that to argue that just because a couple is not married that their relationship has less value is demeaning.

I wish the View had picked a conservative with the intelligence to keep the round table going. Elizabeth just stops most discussions cold. She comes accross as a phoney.

titan, my point wasn't that getting married is the answer to those problems. My point was that if the ones who DO engage in the 'free love' practices realized that they contributed to the AIDS epidemic, and they themselves DID choose to wait until marriage, there would BE no AIDS epidemic.

No one really can argue against that.

The problem is that you're under the assumption that AIDS is just a sex/gay disease, and it's not. You can get it through contaminated needles, infected blood and other bodily fluids (save saliva). Just not having sex isn't going to stop the AIDS epidemic.

I'm well aware of the other ways AIDS is spread, Danni. Though I don't know the official stats, I'm fairly sure that AIDS is mostly spread through careless sex practices--and with the porn industry, specifically, which openly lauds the "bareback" phenomenon, is it any wonder?

Porn MUST die.

IT's too real not to affect people's decisions.

Plain and simple.

It's funny because while porn does indeed have a lot of films that don't have condoms, film companies make it mandatory that the porn stars are tested regularly. Anyone with half a brain knows that. While there are porn stars who eventually turn up HIV+ and have infected others, it's not as widespread as you make it out to be. In fact, reports have shown the contrary. Anyone who is suspected to be HIV+ immediately stops working, and those who have worked with said porn star goes into "quarantine", for lack of a better term, until results come back.

I'd say chalk it up to people who are downright afraid of talking about different forms of protection or just being overall uninformed about sex that lead to dumb choices. Porn is just an easy scapegoat. It's funny yet terrifying to know how many teens still think that pulling out won't lead to pregnancy or STDs.

Oh, I'm well aware that porn industries require HIV testing.

I'm not saying blame the AIDS epidemic on porn stars, LITERALLY. I meant that "bareback" phenomenon translates to many of the VIEWERS of porn, some of whom don't realize the 'behind the scenes' aspects, and go out looking for similar adventures.

But anyway, why defend porn? It has no real value. It shoudl be declared obscene by the U.S. Supreme Court and outlawed. It has no redeeming values, it is NOT art, and it pretty much is prostitution. Porn stars are legal WHORES. And poor role models that are treated like gods and godesses to weak individuals. It sickens me.

The "bareback" phenomenon is due to parents and schools not teaching kids about contraceptives and safety precautions when engaging in sexual activity, not porn. How the hell do you think these kids think that they can't get AIDS through anal sex or that if the guy pulls out, the girl can't get pregnant? I can tell you, it's not porn that does it.

I defend porn because I like it. I like watching it. I like getting off on it. I'm not going to knock sex workers because I don't know them. I do think that regardless of their choice of employment, they're human beings, and your [!@#$%^&*] stinks as much as theirs do. I think prostitution should be legal, but that's a whole different schpeel there. And no one's ever said that they were role models. Hell, I'm sure even Jenna Jameson would even say that she's not a role model at all.

We NEED sex education in schools, I don't care how much the naysayers whine about it. Otherwise, I think we should force them to pay for unplanned teen pregnancies and medical treatments for STD's.

The only bad thing about porn is that some of the ugliest people ever put on this earth, most with fake bodies, are being paid tons of money to screw on camera.

Wow, I completely disagree. And no, my [!@#$%^&*] *doesn't* stink as much as theirs. And that's because I FLUSH mine. They DUMP IT on others' chests like sick perverts.

So...no.

Um, that's the ONLY bad thing?

Not that it brainwashes several people? You certainly know that millions of people see these people as role models. Seriously. Porn stars do nothing for a living. Hell, the top stars get paid about $30k-$40k so what's even the point?! IT makes no sense, really.
