Priorities, people. Priorities.

Stop using the flag for your own selfish political ends. Pricks.
I wrote on the station's Facebook wall (which they deleted within seconds) and sent the same in an e-mail. The blockquoted version is what I've sent two other, more responsible stations that employ journalists who actually do their frickin' jobs (ups to George Knapp and John Huck).It concerns yet another jackass who thinks he's being sly by ( Read more... ) -
Why, I no longer use pr0n (though I don't care if you do)
I have my reasons for not using porn. Not that anyone else shouldn't, because that's their business. I found an article on AlterNet today, wherein the author hits the nail on the head - for me - as to why I no longer use porn:

Manhood Redefined.
Shed the silly John Wayne facade, man. This is 2010. Women are now (supposed to be) our equals and can be expected to pull their weight in society. They no longer need us to be their heroes.
