Interestingly, some of Schlessinger's "money shots" are still on the web, as well as lesser nude photos. Perhaps porn takes on a darker hue once one has become a right-wing radio personality, while before that time, the same personality may assumed a more wide open position.

Dr. Laura nudes - this is the real danger of pornography, people. For the love of god and humanity, listen to your priesthood leaders!

I think Dr. Schlessinger is more than qualified to critique the work of Kinsey.


How can she be qualified to critique anything, given that her post-doctoral work is all about theory, speculation and, frequently, personal ideology?


Another excellent example of just why the Socratic sophistries of the tort and special interest courtroom are way out of their element in the real world of the marketplace of ideas in which one must rely on logically coherent argument, not just the appearance of such.

Everyone knows that you're not a real expert until you equate gays with Nazis. This is the Droopy Standard of Academic Credibility.

Of course, I've never done that. Others have pointed out what's long been known, however, which is that the Nazi party and, in particular, its elite military and ideological wings, were fairly heavily imbued with a homoerotic male bonding ideology.

The Nazi's were also socialists, by the way, albeit with a racial/ethnic emphasis. Hitler disliked Jews even more than Marx did.

Yeah, Droopy. They use the Socratic method in court all the time.

You don't know enough about what you're talking about to realize how much you are embarrassing yourself.

of the tort and special interest courtroom


What is a tort, Droopy?

Since the founders of the United States decided to go with the English common law tradition and adversarial system where every party is a special interest, where do you think the founders went wrong?

Because I must say, reading the things you write about what you fantasize the American legal system to be is similar in some ways to reading what a Mormon apologist thinks pre-Columbian Mesoamerica was like (with Hebrew Christians and tapir ranches and whatnot).

are way out of their element in the real world of the marketplace of ideas in which one must rely on logically coherent argument, not just the appearance of such.


The above must be your point-by-point refutation of the substance of what I said, which should not be mistaken for your inevitable resort to not just ad hominem, but stupid ad hominem, when you cannot address something.

I would suggest rewording such polls as "how do you think the average person would react to seeing their spouse view porn?"

Interesting to see you running from your own shadow, and not even being aware of it.

I've long grown weary of your juvenile posturing and head gaming.
