"Abortion is bad". <br /><br />Playboy does the same thing. People remember things better when they are emotional. So, men who're turned on by images remember the accompanying text, and their opinions are influenced by this. <br /><br />It's not like they're going to turn around and quote page 3. It just works the same as 'coke is it'. You just know you prefer Coke, and don't think much about why. <br /><br />So you can see why they're reluctant to get rid of something that works so effectively at so many levels -- keeps women in their place, re-harms women, trains men to think of women as lesser, and *bonus* can push other opinions and ideas into the aroused brains of male readers.<br /><br />It's f***ing got to be stopped.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810430762014019587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3796962133576484410.post-3089480816793603172012-03-15T16:00:09.563+00:002012-03-15T16:00:09.563+00:00"Why should questions about police procedures..."Why should questions about police procedures be handled solely by the so-called Independent Police Complaints Commission, which is notoriously reluctant to rule against police?"<br /><br />This from the industry that's enjoyed decades of self-regulation through the Press Complaints Commission?<br /><br />"Before it is too late, should we not be asking where all this is likely to lead? Will we have a better Press?"<br /><br />These people make their living through deliberate misrepresentation, exaggeration and downright lies; they generate hatred and exploit fear; they seed the public mind with suspicion and mistrust, and celebrate misfortune and suffering. And then they have the sheer <i>gall</i> to imply that they're fulfilling a valuable journalistic function?<br /><br />Only when the Press can be persuaded to move away from the sensationalist, unscrupulous and toxic activities of rags like the Sun, the Express and the Mail will we start to see a better Press. But without some form of external compulsion, that clearly isn't going to happen while the potential rewards are so high. A mature, free, responsible news media serves a crucial purpose in a healthy democracy. But as much as they might talk the self-important talk when it suits them - as in this case - the truth is that these companies, and others like them, abandoned this responsibility a long time ago.Silencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356295714954460940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3796962133576484410.post-48191282907362247232012-02-16T13:47:47.408+00:002012-02-16T13:47:47.408+00:00I thought it would be interesting to compare Mr Ka...I thought it would be interesting to compare Mr Kavenagh's rant about witch hunts with his opinions on MPs expenses from 2009.<br /><br />They demonstrate that Mr Kavenagh has no problem with hypocracy, one law for you and another for me, or contradicting himself completely.<br /><br />The witch hunt for journalists<br />"Their alleged crimes?

And occasionally get some natural human body's natural human secretions over their natural human faces.<br /><br />I'd say the term "porn" in these debates is entirely unhelpful, but if your definition of it leaves out the natural human body, it's basically going to be limited to cyborg bestiality.
