I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Biggie Smiles, King of Kings;
Look on my Stuff, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

I know. You wouldn't catch the rest of us posting porn in general, no matter the politics, and certainly not fucking gay porn.

That is the kind of stuff their brave LGBTQ+ community practices.

And they support it.

But "Oh the horror!!" if they see it for a few seconds.

Just like black thugs. They support them. Just not in their own neighbourhood.


Hypocrites.

Hypocrites.

I don't care what people practice in the privacy of their homes. The privacy of home is not a public spectacle.

Only conservatives relish in posting and defending public spectacle.

"Uneducated" would have been a better term.

It would have been.

And the fact that you are being corrected by a mathematics and software engineer professional about the proper use of words, which was you area of education, should tell you what, exactly?

I post informally on a forum. I am not at work. I don't worry about how I say it too much. They can't recognize a well-known poem in English literature.

That's sad.

So you are against pornography and sex work?

You know that is not the popular leftist stance, right?

Even pornography and sex work take place in private.
Pornography is recorded an distributed to the public. It is never intended to be kept private.


But there is a choice of whether to view it or not, as is the choice at this forum. That is why there is an entire sub-forum for "Erotica" if that's what you want to call that.

If you are going to take a leftist stance and support deviant activities like those in the video clip, and you are going to support pornography, then viewing these things should not disturb you.

You are burying your head in the sand. Ignorance is bliss.

The hypocrisy is that you claim the moral high ground. You claim to care about people. But when they do these awful things to themselves, you just would rather not deal with the issue.

You do not care about these people. You are indifferent.

Where is that logic? If I support freedom for consenting adults, I have to participate in it?

That is not logical whatsoever.

People have different interests.

I thought leftists celebrate and value diversity.

Ignorance is not diversity. Is this really about you and you not recognizing it either? You are defending ignorance quite vociferously.

Ignorance of certain subject or topics is a reality for everyone.

Do you want me to pick the subject? We can have a chat and test your knowledge (or ignorance) of the subject.

It is a silly and childish to say "Nah nah nah!! I know something you do not know!"

Just about anyone could do that to just about anyone else. Big deal.

Sure, everyone is ignorant of many things. What you don't do, in the age of the internet, is assume anything. All they had to do is use google to find out where that was from to before making asses out of themselves.

The hypocrisy lies in your claim that you care about people. That you are compassionate.

Supporting freedom is good. That is actually very right-wing of you. But that does not mean you cannot and should not express concern to people about certain behaviours. Helping people is a good thing. Discouraging them from partaking in harmful activities is compassionate.

You say "As long as I do not have to see it, let people do what they want." That is indifference. It is not compassion.

You talk about education. Well seeing video clips of what these deviants do is education. I know I do not like seeing it. But I understand that it is necessary to know what goes on if I am going to have an opinion about something.

Remember you said that.

Do you know if they were referring to these lines (which were not Shelley's)?

"My name is Biggie Smiles, King of Kings;
Look on my Stuff, ye Mighty, and despair!
"

Or did you assume they were not?

(I know those lines ruined it for me.)

Is that supposed to be a serious question?
