Twilight Can Be Pornography for Mormon Girls

Pornography for men is usually pictures. Pornography for women is usually the romance novel. Women need the context of a relationship and some emotional attachment to be aroused. Both forms of pornography give addicts unrealistic expectations for their romantic partner.

The man compares his lover's body with the air-brushed bodies in his magazines. The woman compares her lover's actions with the romantic she reads about, who has no other responsibilities outside of the novel.

Porn addicts can never be satisfied because they seek fantasy. The romantic partner of the addict is left feeling inadequate and rejected.

    This is laur - most of these other posts I could talk about with you for hours bringing different views while agreeing with some aspects. However, this post is unlike any other in the fact that I hands down completely 100% agree without hesitation. I read the book because someone I know LOVED it and told me to read it. I hated every moment and was wondering in the end as I realized the author was a woman, and LDS, if she would feel comfortable with the prophet or the Lord reading her work.
    I know that may be an extreme side to take, but I'm serious. I hate how the book talks about how her agency was never present because she was "in love" with this vampire dude before she even had the choice. LAME! It gives too many excuses to too many people to write off their actions due to love they couldn't choose to have. And also, I felt like I was reading a 9th grade short story that went on way too long.
    Ahhh I am so glad I got to vent that out. Thanks.

How to overcome hate

One old black man defeats the KKK with kindness and humor. They burned down his church, burned a cross in his yard, and mercilessly taunted him. He always responded in kindness, and turned their hearts to him. We should use this as a blueprint to respond to those who hate us.

Ron Paul sticks it to the man

Paul makes fun of the Nobel, chastises Reps and Dems from not criticizing their own parties, and encourages dissent: I'm a fan of both Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky, who seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum. But they are both anti-war, anti-interventionist, and honest thinkers.

Meet Thomas Paine

"Thomas Paine came to America from Great Britain in 1774 when he was 37 years old. He burned with righteous indignation at the cruel tyranny of kings. Half a million copies of "Common Sense," his plainspoken call for rebellion, flooded this fledgling nation of three million people. His rhetoric so moved and persuaded George Washington that he read Paine's words to the troops at Valley Forge. After America won its independence, Paine found himself in another fight, the French Revolution, and wrote another best-seller, "The Rights of Man." But he got into trouble in France and was thrown into prison, narrowly avoiding execution. He returned to America in 1802, a prophet without honor in the nation he helped to create."
