I think you can get them online.

That has become painfully obvious.

I argued that people may have principles which would not permit them to take their clothes off in front of the entire nation. You argued that everyone who has such principles is insane or highly religious and lived in a red state. (I won't even go into you citing the movie ratings process in support of your argument, which made no sense.) So, where are we? Basically, I said people might have reservations about taking off their clothes and showing their tits. You argued that anyone like that is stupid and should get over it.

So, I called your bluff, since I knew you were full of shit. Surely someone who has such strong feelings about those with such a high sense of moral superiority (and/or body issues) wouldn't marry you because you would be ill just looking at them everyday. Following your bullshit argument, it's only logical to assume that neither you nor your wife would have any problem showing everyone here, her tits.

You put yourself in this position, dumbass. When you say, 'If my wife said "fine, post it", I'd do it. You wouldn't.' makes no sense. I never took the position that I would. You've backed yourself into a corner and don't know what the hell to do because each step you take to get out, you're stepping on one of your previous statements and will have to admit you're making no sense. Even saying, "My wife wouldn't be comfortable with it," means you lose.

The only way you win is by posting shots of your wife's tits. And if you do that, well, we all win. At least I do, because I couldn't possibly lose an argument because my opponent shows me his wife's tits.

So that's where we are. Can't wait to see those shots.

TM,

You think I got off the short bus this morning? You know damn well its unrealistic to request someone post their tits online and you're grandstanding. That said, I have been abroad with my wife and she's happily walked starkers through a nude beach.

You don't get to define the only way I win. I'll write whatever I like, and I'll change the framework of the alleged argument all I like. In fact, I'll probably contradict myself from time to time. Don't play the "I'll define who wins" game with me, Bubba. I ain't playing that one.

Bottom line is, if you're not adult enough to deal with nudity or object to nudity on religious grounds, you are a shithead.

My only point, which you've hijacked and contorted, was that there should be no objection at all to nudity and its parochial to be uncomfortable with it. We're stuck in a bizarre society that has ass backward values and idiotic "moral" strictures, and I blame the red states and organized religion for it.

S(In a corner? Only the corner you've framed, not the real argument)D

Well, in every single apartment I've lived in Chicago, I've never paid for cable.

Plus, what would normally cost me $80/month is free except for the initial $190 I had to pay for the descrambler (that fell off a truck).

When I lived in Chicago we paid for basic cable, $30 or so/mo
but a one time $40 payment, in cash, american money, to the installer, at installation got us the $80 package for the next 4 years.

I hear this is quite a common special promotion in Chicago.

I think Atticus was joking. SD screwed up the phrase "beaten like a rented mule." I don't know who "invented" it, but Keith Olberman, when he was on Sportscenter was the first I heard use it. "The goalie was beaten like a rented mule," is how I hear it used most.

TM

PS - NotBob, Olberman is the poster child of anchors who needed to get over themselves with their stupid catchy little sayings. He spawned the Linda Cohns and Stuart Scotts of today with that annoying "They're not gonna get him" crap he used to say every other highlight.

The way I've always heard this is "beaten like a red-headed stepchild". Why would anyone beat a mule as compared to, say, abusing it by riding it a lot (thus "ridden harder than a rented mule")?

I know people who have done this as well. Isn't this city great? It's still probably the most corrupt city in the country...

That's unpossible.

It is. But why would anyone do this when they could just get a reprogrammed DirectTV card with all the channels, including PPV? If your machine ain't plugged in to the phone line, its not like they can tell what is and is not programmed on your card. A course, these days it seems like those programmers and sites are gettin sorta scarce.

I don't know what you two are arguing about either, but I can think of one reason other than puritanism why neither of your wives would want their boobs on the net. Just speaking for me, my husband has naked pictures of me and thought it would be fun to put them (without face) on amihot. I said no because I don't welcome criticism of my body. Maybe it is just me, but I suspect quite a few women feel that way. Of course, if money were involved, it would be a whole different ball game.

Yeh, but she's got a pretty nice rack. I have some digital shots and they're pretty damn nice... I dare say I am a pretty good amateur photographer.

My wife would probably object on the grounds of "You're such an idiot, stop playing on that goddamn computer and redo the second bedroom, you asshole."

As I've said before, if you choose to have the naked photos (or worse the sex photos), just make sure that you have arrangements in place for someone to obtain and destroy them should anything happen to you, so that your kids don't find them someday. No kid wants to see their parent(s) doing that shit. It is gross.

Which leads me to a question for all of those single folks on the boards... Do you have an arrangement in place with friends/siblings for someone to come to your place and remove all naughty sex items should anything happen to you so your parents don't see that stuff? Or am I just overly paranoid?

Does the OM know that your descriptions of him on this board make him sound like the perfect man?

And does he know how lucky he is to have you?

I'm not single, that I know of, but my mother-in-law already found all the porn when we moved in to our house a couple of years back and she took it upon herself to unpack "certain" boxes.

Deep Inside Vanessa Del Rio?!?! The look on MIL's face: priceless.

Hey Leagl,

This just occured to me... why were you complaining about the unfair amount of female vs. male nudity in cinema yesterday? Seems you'd have little to complain about there...

S(just popped into my head)D

It wasn't a complaint, it was an observation in response to your trying to argue about the MPAA and its determination of what is an R versus an X or NC17 or whatever.

However, yes, it does seem to me people make a much bigger deal about a nude frontal shot of a male than a nude frontal shot of a female. Which is silly if you think about it.

I wasn't speaking to it in my original post, but in the sense of male versus female treatment and the ongoing issue of over sexualization of women (which by the way is even worse if you are a lesbian as I was reminded recently when a fellow employee said something quite awful to me) yes, I would complain about the number of male frontal nudity shots versus female frontal nudity shots.

On the other hand, I personally could do with no frontal nudity shots. I don't go to a movie to see naked people, it doesn't do much for me.
