(15,882 posts)people being beaten and or murdered by police as porn, it makes me wonder about their values. Those extensions of the psychic penis the police carry and shoot mean something, yes?
I do think it's worth telling kids that there are things in the world that are phony or vile or hurtful, or sometimes all of those, and can lead you to ruin, but I think she should add in jobs at Walmart, selling things on the phone, and/or becoming a banker if she really wanted to protect him.
I know, the subject was porn, which makes everyone think of sex, but I wish she would broaden the definition and not pretend there is some one entity that is "porn" and that all those things she said about "it" are accepted fact. There isn't, and they aren't.
She may also be teaching her kids unintended ways to learn about stuff as well, that they can be defined in a little narrow way and dismissed, along with all the people who participate.
It just reminded me of "Baptist School". < where in anything that wasn't white, hetero, and missionary style was dirty. Anyone else might as well have been animals, it was porn in their eyes. (unless it was what they were doing behind closed doors, with whomever, and however, of course. good god. real good god).
I kinda took another path. So when I hear stuff like this I know they mean well, but that's not enough.
