lolololol. Man, you take this shit way too serious.

Like my comment about you making facts up, it was a simple little burn and instead of coming back with something even half way witty you want to give the definition of fact as if we don't know what a fact is.

lololol... You would have died on the streets that I grew up on and they were strictly suburban.

Dude to Rhetorical: Your mama wears army boots.

Rheorical back at dude: I will have you know that my mother only wears Ghillies.

Dude punches Rhetorical in the face twice and sends him home crying to his mama and her Ghillies.

Oh yeah, and I have a lot of sex...but that is just a diversion.
Glad to know we're all here for your personal amusement.

Just to be clear, what we've been doing this evening doesn't fit my definition of arguing. That was my whole point. You never really debate anything of substance. But hey, if you want to call that winning then here's your trophy.

I love wine and cheese and I don't have a big bad character. Why do you ask? I am just a normal porn guy who spends more time in front of a keyboard than most. Hell, you think I am strange, you guys ain't so freeking normal. Consider what we do for a living. It isn't normal.

Ahhh, Now you see man? It's that exact attitude and with that type of mentality, and comments that the adult industry is looked at the way it is rhetorical. You are probably just as unstable and unsure about your business ventures in the adult world. I mean WTF is it thats not fucking normal man????

It will always be looked on that way. Some things will never change. If we become respectable, we will lose money.

I am very sure about my business. Like I said before, when you can discuss your work with Aunt Edna over a Sunday roast, then it will be normal, until then, it will remain edgy at best. I worked in film and television for many years and it is full of pretty whacky and seriously deviant people who will rip you off faster than Russ Meyer trailer, but this business has a way higher percentage of crooks and rounders. So no, it is no freeking normal.

As an aside...

One of the few times I was able to get in a word edgewise without the tweaker from Xtube interupting with his 10 months of business knowledge...

The question was asked "Do you think porn and mainstream will converge?"

My answer was I dont want it to. At least not totally. The taboo aspect of this business is one of the many factors that makes it sell so well.

We can have a little titlating taboo and still retain ethics cant we?

I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely dancer
in a little club downtown
I loved to watch her do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Down on Mainstreet

In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch 'em through the glass
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past

Unlike all the other ladies, she
looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet

And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet

sorry that you feel what you do is not normal, my life is pretty average, the only difference between me and the guy two doors down from me is that I put up links to a few sex sites every now and then, and occasionally watermark a sex vid

the TRUE difference between me and him though, is that I am labeling porn instead of just watching it like him

i guarantee you, you walk into any other guys house my age and you will find just as much porn somewhere in that house as I have here, the only difference is, I am trying to sell it to him, while he is just set out to watch it

the reason I think you are strange is because you look for any and every chance to stand above someone and make them feel small, that signifies a definite craving for attention that is just a little strange in my book, but I guess we were all raised different

OK, so you sell dirty pictures for a living and you think that is "normal"? I would guess you are a very small minority most of whom post on these boards. As for your psychoanalysis, I gotta say your qualifications most likely do not match your opinion. You might consider reading a little. This should get you started in your new "mainstream" career:

"Kohut refers to a patient whose personality disturbance was marked by a vertical split in his personality. One fragment was characterized by a sense of superiority and messianic identification; this result from a merger with his mother, who had idealized him and encouraged his grandiosity. In Jung’s terms, these contents represent a split-off complex, unintegrated with the rest of the personality. He is particularly concerned with the need to achieve the wholeness of the personality, which requires the integration of material split off from the totality of the person’s self"

You see, now that is impressive. Trumps "standing above" someone, dontcha know.

yes, I think selling "dirty pictures" is pretty normal in my world....it is literally one step up from looking at that, which is what millions of people do every day.

think of it this way, my buddies get porn all the time from the internet and they email it to each other....what do I do? I take it one small step up and instead of me getting it and emailing it, I get it and tell people I have it and they actually pay me to look at it.....pretty normal

let's see...I am a blue/pink haired punk covered in tattoos that wakes up at 5-6pm every day and on weekends gets so fucked up from partying that he doesn't know his own name sometimes and is usually up for 2-3 days straight with at least 4-5 friends

so, in comparison, selling porn is pretty normal to me

do you just sit on the forums all day and troll for excuses to start shit?

I make no excuses for ANYTHING i do man, sorry you take it that way, but I guess you usually take things the way you want to take them and not the way they were intended to be taken

Overthink? That took all of 3 seconds...or less. Dude, you have been punked bad. You need to address your little problem. An excuse by anyother name is still a fucking excuse. But I know you actually knew that.

Just for the record. I find that statement to be quite ludicrous.

There is no relationship between chaos and ethics. You can very well have total chaos and all the ethics in the world or you could be totally organized and have not one ethic to your name.

As far as chaos not being good for business? Chaos has often been very good for business. Lots of money has been made in the midst of chaos.

Just my two cents...
