Unfortunately I didn't look at my leg before it went in the washing machine. So now we will see how it's gone today. I was at work so had to. I don't use pens unless I'm at work. I'm waiting for them to become obsolete. Coincidentally I also cut my finger at work yesterday. Only slightly. But it bled and bled and bled.

So fucking annoying. Only just realised. Think I did it about eleven hours ago too. Leg all blue. Might even post a pic of my bare thigh to get the thread going. Share your stories of leaking ink.

No more questions.

I got the giggles in front of a transvestite about two years ago. It wasn't about the transexual but then because I was already laughing and then the transvestite was there and I knew it was a bad time to laugh I couldn't stop myself. The transexual looked upset and rightly so. I felt like such a dick a few seconds later.

I've no idea about the website I'm afraid, that page is just something I stumbled upon when looking at racism in pornography a few months ago.

THIS MAY NOT BE SAFE FOR WORK, I HAVEN'T PROPERLY LOOKED AT THE SITE ITSELF BUT IT CONTAINS AN INTERVIEW WITH A BLACK MALE PORNOGRAPHIC ACTOR WHO QUIT INTERRACIAL SCENES. PLEASE DO NOT CLICK IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED. THE MAIN PICTURE DIDN'T LOAD FOR ME SO APART FROM THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANYTHING TOO DODGY ON THERE BUT I CAN'T GUARANTEE. (WITH REFERENCE TO UNDERSTANDING THE PIECE, IR MEANS INTERRACIAL). http://www.lukeisback.com/2010/04/justin-long-says-i-will-no-longer-be-doing-any-sort-of-interracial-porn/

Have 15 questions so far. Five more will do it. I will hopefully be sending them out tomorrow early evening (my time - UK). There's some good ones so far.

I bit my sisters toe in a fight when I was about 7 [the other day I posted I'd only ever been in one fight - just realised I used to fight with my sister all the time so that's not true] At high school I sometimes made fun of people to fit in. People that were dicks, but probably dicks for a reason - because people like me were dicks to them. In college I almost started going out with a girl, but she was about a month away from exams and took it very seriously (which was totally fine) so we didn't get together. Before I gave her some space to revise something happened (what I thought was nothing too serious but what turned out to be the first time she'd been topless in front of anyone before, etc) and so when our contact was cut, I ended up seeing another girl (it had been explicitly said by the original girl that we were not together yet) and so was up front and honest and told her that I was seeing someone else now and that I was sorry. She didn't take it too well and was upset for a long time and her sister hated me. Given how much emphasis she put on us not being together officially I was under the impression she wasn't massively bothered about us but I think she may have been hurt by it and I felt really sorry. A girl who was my friend at college, but with who there was a little chemistry was having boy troubles. Her boyfriend was being a dick and wasn't treating her well and she was really an awesome girl. Very nice and pretty. She told me she didn't know if she would break up with him because she was scared she wouldn't find somebody else. I told her that she would find someone else as she was special, and I insinuated that the two of us would get together (only by holding her gaze, though it did the trick and it was like an understanding) when they broke up. I really fancied her and really enjoyed being with her, but when they broke up and she told me and kind of set me up to ask her out I bottled it because I was in a position of massive self loathing with my body and since she had been in a long term relationship and I'd yet to have sex I panicked and just kind of froze and didn't do anything. I looked like a bit of a dick. She was better out of that relationship and she's been better for it in the future, but I still feel like I let her down and we never really hung out again.

The negative reaction seems to boil down more to do with the fact that this is a very male driven business when it comes down to who makes the most from it. The person who runs the strip club, prostitutes pimps, the vast majority of people who use the facilities. And the fact that it's far less common place for a man to do be the one in the strippers position (of course it does happen). The lack of opportunities for women to make money like that when up against their male counterparts in other areas given the inequality of wages may play a part in this. The fact she has made what sound like drastic changes to her physical appearance is interesting. I'm not sure how comfortable she is deep down within herself if she has to change herself to such an extreme.

I think people should take responsibility for their actions, but removal from society and help is what they need and punishment beyond freedom is not something that will help the matter. The problem with taking a stance of removing the criminal from their actions is you then have to remove a hero from their actions too.

Nice.

Also (and I'm not saying this aggressively or with any anger, just speaking matter of factly) if I wasn't strongly for the death penalty I would refrain from talking so bluntly in favour of it unless from a devils advocate or hypothetical position as what you are supporting is the killing of a human being, using an argument you aren't fully behind. Seems a little strange.

I wasn't really asking if people watch porn, though they can feel free to say whatever they want. I was more interested in a discussion on pornography's impact on individuals and society as a whole and the morals, positives and dangers behind it.

Will do Sweet. You'll be up soon.

Life imprisonment. People change a lot when in prison for a long time and many begin to regret their actions. Even some of the monsters. Some do not. But you don't kill people or you find yourself at their level. They are still a human being and they are not at large. What are your thoughts on IQ level in this debate? If they are a below a certain IQ would you spare them? And how would you handle children who commit sadistic murders?

But an armed police man kills somebody who is a direct danger to society and is at large. An executioner kills somebody who doesn't have the opportunity to murder again at that point. People don't just get set free after the time is up. Those still considered a danger to society don't get let out. As soon as you give the state the permission to end lives you are in trouble. For a nation who cling to guns because of the fear of not being able to form a militia, a lot of Americans are keen to let the very same people they fear have the ability to kill. It's a thought not limited to Americans though, so I'm not just focussing on you.

For some it would be a way of life if they are institutionalised or so far removed from society that prison is genuinely a better place for them in their current situation, but holiday I would disagree with. And hypothetically, even if that was so, then what? You'd then decide to make it harder for them and that will better integrate them into society or make you feel better? Or would you try and rehabilitate them to at least some extent in order to prevent the problem or make some progress into helping them and reducing the risk to others? Anyway, bed.

I'm going to bed after reading that.

Christ. Prison is clearly a fucking holiday.

Any thoughts at all on rehabilitation?

Please expand.

A place to discuss pornography. This can range from concerns people have on young people and access to pornography, the affects they feel it has on people, personal views on it, both positive and negative, anything you want. I'll leave it as open ended as possible before putting forward my input at some point in the future but for the time being i just wanna see how the thread evolves. I'd rather it be mature discussions about pornography than simply a pervy/hater thread but do with it as you will. I make the thread as there is a lot of discussion at the moment about young people and the internet but the thread can be used to discuss all facets of pornography.

I'm not sure if i've made a thread like this one in the past, or whether one exist by anyone else, but after reading an article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/may/26/damien-echols-i-survived-death-row) I've been wondering what people's opinions are of the death penalty and of sentencing in general.

Ha, I said anyway too much.
