Because the most easily available sexual images xulamaude Nov 2013 #45

Still trying to make this, "the horrible male thing" eh? Katashi_itto Nov 2013 #49

Just stating an observation xulamaude Nov 2013 #63

Agree Katashi_itto Nov 2013 #66

Putting LGBT porn into the mix completely destroys the rationale against porn that it objectifies stevenleser Nov 2013 #125

+1! Katashi_itto Nov 2013 #56

Chomsky agreed to an interview without checking out who it was? Is... TreasonousBastard Nov 2013 #9

Chomsky is notoriously out of touch with mainstream stuff. joshcryer Nov 2013 #84

Wait, he says he didn't know what "the Hustler" was ucrdem Nov 2013 #11

. . . BainsBane Nov 2013 #12

Chomsky's seal of approval on the cover of Hustler says a hell of a lot more about Chomsky ucrdem Nov 2013 #15

"seal of approval" BainsBane Nov 2013 #24

that poster really had to twist around to land on feet with that. calling chomsky a liar, wow. nt seabeyond Nov 2013 #25

See for yourself: ucrdem Nov 2013 #43

no. you dismissed what the man said to flat out call him a liar. nt seabeyond Nov 2013 #55

No, I called him a hustler's hustler. You called him a liar. ucrdem Nov 2013 #60

when you ignore what he says about not knowing hustler, hence the error, that would be calling the seabeyond Nov 2013 #68

I didn't ignore it. That's what this subthread is about. nt ucrdem Nov 2013 #69

ok. when you hear what he says and do not believe him, then you are saying he is a liar. fuck... lol seabeyond Nov 2013 #72

"I never heard of the Hustler" aikoaiko Nov 2013 #13

I thought it wasn't about porn, but "rape porn" quinnox Nov 2013 #20

it is called education. chomsky is respected by liberals. it is others right to listen seabeyond Nov 2013 #21

Never said anything like they couldn't post it quinnox Nov 2013 #23

i didnt read that thread, so i do not know whether you state it accurately or not. i have issues seabeyond Nov 2013 #27

It seems that the subject of this OP xulamaude Nov 2013 #22

From the clip: xulamaude Nov 2013 #28

Hilarious, same people howling they weren't talking about limitations on freedom of speech Kurska Nov 2013 #48

seems like this statement arbitrarily restricted his scope to the role of women in pornography 0rganism Nov 2013 #37

Oh goody, another person who pretends gay people don't exist when discussing this Kurska Nov 2013 #39

That's one possibility, that homosexuals never cross their mind MNBrewer Nov 2013 #51

Not only must it not cross their minds, but it also must be actively filtered out too. Kurska Nov 2013 #54

Exactly the response that I've encountered MNBrewer Nov 2013 #61

Crickets is the nicest response by them I've seen stevenleser Nov 2013 #126

Frankly, it is embarrassing they won't respond to the question. Kurska Nov 2013 #127

Chomsky, while it is not obvious, is referring to the capitalist porn industry. joshcryer Nov 2013 #90
