I've had LOTS that were looking for Elliptical machines. No surprise there. But I had one soul who actually put in the key words "fossilized poop" which landed him/her here.<BR/><BR/>Who would have ever thought?Belladonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704410443745252997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039972.post-1169082960617791762007-01-17T17:16:00.000-08:002007-01-17T17:16:00.000-08:00Well, I must admit that the occasional picture of ...Well, I must admit that the occasional picture of dog poo in a blog is somewhat off-putting even if I like what's generally there! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039972.post-1168890654329647422007-01-15T11:50:00.000-08:002007-01-15T11:50:00.000-08:00I guess to a degree, I've been desensitezedover th...I guess to a degree, I've been desensitezedover the years. For what ever reason, my folks thought it was ok to take my brother and me to drive in movies when we were 6 and 8 (earliest). The films were usually James Bond...moderately violent and I have no issue with violence now. Notice I said "moderate". Isn't violence, violence no matter the degree?<BR/>The films that always played with the feature films were B-rated "soft porn". I don't know why my folks thought it ok for me to watch full frontal nudity and sex scenes...It took me years to understand that women were not sex toys without feelings. I was brought up in a good home, but nudity/sex has always been a "temptation" for me. Only in Christ, am I able to stay true to Pj, and "catch myself" in time.<BR/>As far as cussing goes, I'm not too worried if it fits the moment. Someone in a near miss car wreck dropping an F-bomb is tolerable for me, but the same guy cussing in "normal" conversation is pathetic, cheap and evident of weak writing and character formation.<BR/>In saying that, I'd rather see,in a film, a couple arguing with language flying instead of him hitting her.<BR/>The "old" days were cleaner, but women got hit too much by macho-men like Gable and Bogart. Why did that fly?

On the other hand, some of the PG 13 stuff is sooooo bad.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039972.post-1168834565308459092007-01-14T20:16:00.000-08:002007-01-14T20:16:00.000-08:00Watching other people get it on just isn’t all tha...Watching other people get it on just isn’t all that entertaining for me.<BR/><BR/><BR/>--- me either. I really feel like I'm intruding. Even with just kissing-- when I was a little girl (and I'm still tempted) I would throw a pillow at the TV screen whenever there was yucky kissing.<BR/><BR/>I just think that it ought to be a private moment, you know? It makes me feel kind of gross to be slightly turned on by someone else's experience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466860937596192472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039972.post-1168828141260815262007-01-14T18:29:00.000-08:002007-01-14T18:29:00.000-08:00Yes, I have seen Hotel Rwanda.

But for me, sex is mainly embarrassing when I'm watching a movie with my kids (even now that they are grown), or with my 87 year old mother-in-law. Funny, huh? <BR/><BR/>Did you see Hotel Rwanda? Pretty hip movie, and I wouldn't have missed it although it has share of people getting chopped up.Christopher Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03040506750850825847noreply@blogger.com
