and i kinda want to see her do porn, but life's not always fair... well i mean this case she's gotten away with far more than most folks would... so yeah maybe its not fair in that regard either.
Honestly, since conservatives are probably the biggest consumers of porn, she could start a new Conservative politician-themed genre, and "ride" (pun intended) her celebrity and be groped by all the people she wants all the way to the bank.
Wait, wasn't it that any kind of sexual act that doesn't have the purpose of procreation is a sin?
Only if you get caught, are having fun, or are queer, of course (/s). But the two core rules of Conservatism are:
I just read that article and would be interested in additional research on the topic as I don't find those arguments particularly compelling.
If I understood correctly, conservative states are just slightly more likely to pay for porn subscriptions than liberal states: this is a difference of 1-3 subscriptions per 1000 people. A very small distinction.
And it's 6 out of the 10 least subscribing states voted for Obama while 8 of the 10 most subscribing states voted for McCain.
Given a very minor difference between the most and least subscribing states, I'm not sure this data actually means anything. Utah bought the most, but Montana bought the least per capita. Both deeply conservative states.
Edit: I don't say this as a defense of conservatives but as a call to better research and a caution against believing tenuous facts that reinforce our worldview. I personally believe repression leads to all sorts of problems, I just don't think this article or research really supports that argument in a meaningful way.
What I find interesting about the research, I think, is that despite all their bluster about "sin," "tradition," and "family values," it turns out they are at least as likely to participate in the adult sex industry as their liberal and progressive counterparts. Being Conservative doesn't appear to be a factor (at least, not in most cases), and being an ex-fundigelical myself, I hypothesize that it might increase that likelihood, possibly due to the combination of sexual repression and the near-constant focus on the sexual habits of others.
For some reason I read that as "...all the way to the West Bank."
I was trying to figure out why it would be helpful for her to get groped in the West Bank.
You basically did already When they were caught at Betelgeuse, she was giving her cohort a handy in the middle of the theater
Wow, they really get around.
