All the porn spam on this NG is irritating. I filter everything I can, but
there's no way to make filters for all of it without blocking out good posts.
Nevertheless, in other on-line forums, especially nursing forums, I
consistently get banned by jealous managers who can't stand the fact that I
post engaging threads. I suppose this is the price I pay for free speech. I've
tried looking for Nursing NG in alt. but they have even worse porn than this
NG. Oh well, filtering is fun, I suppose.

Look into getting another news provider. Mine filters out all the
obvious spam so the only time I see spam is if someone is foolish enough
to reply to it.

They (rightly) leave it up to me to wade through the crap that remains.

I don't know that I'd consider photographs of Neal's back to be
pornography, but whatever floats your [ob]boat...

Porn is defined as anything appealing to prurient interest - i.e., something
that turns you on sexually.

Pavlov, et al, established that animals (us) can be conditioned to respond
to abstract stimuli - the most common example is his dog salivating at the
sight of an abstract shape because it had ONLY been displayed just before
the dog was fed.

Almost everybody has been conditioned to become sexually aroused by certain
sights, sounds and scents - things that we ONLY see, hear or smell just
before enjoying sex. Prudes refer to these things as "porn" but the fact is
that censors create all porn by forbidding the commonplace sight of things.
Healthy people do not get turned on by things they see all the time but
prudes are not healthy. If seeing a box of popcorn gets them excited they
want to ban popcorn.

Female breasts are a good example. Breasts had nothing to do with sex per se
until prudes demanded they be covered. Thus the only time US men see them is
before sex so most are conditioned to associate them with sex that they are
a fetish in America. Prudes have declared the organs God provided for
children to suckle dangerous to children ... and we're idiotic enough to
believe it. Want to protect children? Lynch a prude!!

Amen to that! Where do I sign up, and can we include religious fundamentalists?

So you think that all women should bare their breasts in public?

Have you thought of entering the Presidential contest?
You would present people with a very tough choice! Breasts or Bush!!
