I agree with you that I think pornography has a negative impact on just about everyone involved, but I also must dispute your claims, purely on a scientific basis. There are two words you don't use in science - "always" and "never." Your claim is that every individual who does porn was forced into it by something simply can't be true, unless you ask every single person to have ever done anything remotely considered pornographic. Even then, it depends on how the question is asked and whether or not a motivating factor can unequivocally be seen as a "force."
Until then, you have statistical evidence to indicate a trend that may or may not be representative of the true population. Even if it is representative, it is not absolute. It's also why you can never prove a hypothesis true, you can only fail to reject it.
How about American up six on Wisconsin although its still early? Dayton leading Ohio State at halftime makes me happy as well.
I have 15 brackets going but my most often picks by bracket were Florida, Iowa State, Creighton, Louisville, of that four, I would have Louisville beating Iowa State.
TKP: We even have in depth, informative, and classy conversations about porn.
I really like Dayton's HC Archie Miller as the next VT HC. Hoping that they beat OSU, but also hoping they don't make a deep run and bump up his price.
See the above comment for an appropriate response. Also, in the decade since she got out of the industry, that individual has been a part of several studies and activist groups who spend their time digging up the actual facts of what happens to these girls. She doesn't go around just talking about her own experience. She's got the numbers to back up her story. Meanwhile, what I'm honestly seeing here is a bunch of guys who don't want to recognize there might be some harm behind what they see as a relatively innocent personal activity.
Another interesting documentary to watch is Life After Porn. It's on Netflix streaming. It interviews different male and female pornstars and tells how they adjusted after the industry.
I mean there is one doing porn right now from our own Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets.
It's not just anecdotal evidence. There have been studies done and there are organizations dedicated to educating the public and ending sexual exploitation.
Here is a good little fact sheet about what really goes on in these industries, backed up by numerous studies. You can't say that just because it seems like an outrageous claim doesn't mean it's false. Even those who think they're 100% ok with it (which is overwhelmingly an exception, contrary to popular belief) only think that way because of past abuse. Sorry if this ruffles any feathers, but us guys especially need to realize that our porn addictions actually negatively impact human lives.

# | Report: Police investigating Tech athletic department employee for embezzlement Still a little confused about what he is accused of doing. Selling VT video on the side? Kind of like an insider trading deal? With the poor quality of video on Hokiesports.com this might be a good thing if he leaves.
You're making a gross generalization about a large group of people.
The experience of one does not dictate the experience of everyone. She was forced beyond her will to enter and stay in that industry. You can't just take her one experience and say that's how everyone is treated and how they all feel. Believe it or not some people have different moral views than you do.
Michigan State beating Florida, Louisville beating Arizona, and Michigan state beating louisville for the title
I'm sorry but I'm with joe. Anecdotal evidence from one person who was exploited does not prove that everyone in a certain industry is exploited. Just because it's something that you can't imagine doing unless forces does not mean that there isn't someone out there who is 100% ok with what they are doing. That said, I agree that most of the people in this industry either have an outside pressure or a past event that pushed them in that direction.
I have 3/4 in common with you.
Florida > Michigan St.
Arizona > Louisville
Arizona > Florida
Glad there was no storm on the Pro Day!
Or the law offices of the aforementioned Daniel L. Crandall.
Now that the tourney has started and brackets are locked, list your final four/championship games.
I've got Florida, Arizona, Villanova, Louisville with Arizona beating Florida in the championship game.
That is the case, like it or not. And "if you play your cards right" can only happen after years of abuse and exploitation. Until then, you get told what/who to do every day of your life.
There's a lot of good games today. OSU vs Dayton is looking really good right now. I can't wait for MSU Delaware though, both teams like to run, and it's gonna be a high scoring game
IMO porn is just a better paid prostitution gig and we all know that is the world's "Oldest Profession". Based on how you were raised will influence your beliefs on Porn. Through like 9 degrees of seperation I know a legit (ex) porn star and she liked having sex, is attractive and figured she might as well make alot of money doing it and she did. At the end of the day it is a business and if you play your cards right you can make good money and have a say in what you will and will not do. I do not believe that everyone in the industry is/was forced into it. If that was the case I'm sure it would be illegal like sex trafficking.
Sounds like a job for Daniel L. Crandall
Not necessarily someone, but something is forcing 100% of the girls in the industry to be there, either consciously or subconsciously. Again, this isn't just blind speculation, this comes from a girl who was in the industry for 2 years. Girls from abusive or negligent homes often find unhealthy ways to find love or validation. It only takes one bad influence - usually in the form of a boyfriend/pimp - to get them hooked in. Then, they believe the lie that there's no escape because no one else would want them. No one in the porn industry hasn't been exploited or abused.
