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

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

Could be. ucrdem Nov 2013 #92

Yeah, it's a cop-out. joshcryer Nov 2013 #95

"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

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

Chomsky does not want to outlaw pornography. joshcryer Nov 2013 #99

I posted a comment you may have missed the other day relating to this. last1standing Nov 2013 #29

I had not seen that BainsBane Nov 2013 #78

Can't blame you there. It was tiring. last1standing Nov 2013 #118

I love how for hundreds of posts it was "all about rape porn, no one is trying to take porn away" Kurska Nov 2013 #35

The argument changes by the day. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #41

Apparently we're supposed to be sickened that adults are consuming naughty films or books Kurska Nov 2013 #42

Noam is right. n/t duffyduff Nov 2013 #36

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

Very well thought out post Kurska Nov 2013 #100

well what exactly do you want to do with porn, be interesting to hear. loli phabay Nov 2013 #131

**Crickets** NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #137

I think Chomsky is half right on this issue. last1standing Nov 2013 #124
