Exactly.. she made a decision choosing that as a profession. Easy money for doing something we all love to do, but she obviously knew she'd be judged for it. They wouldnt get paid as much if it was a respectable career.
I wonder how much the two girls one cup duo made..

+1. Sounds like a shorter, more to the point way of saying what I was trying to express this morning in this thread. And in my time on this board, FP, you definitely practice what you preach on the topic of respect for others.

Don't get wrong, I feel that it is VERY important to show respect to elders, women, and even other men! The rapid decay of America's (and the world's) moral fabric is a serious problem. I think this decay is a major cause of the lack of respect throughout the country.
However, the idea of unconditional respect towards 50% of the world's population is rather simple minded. Respect isn't unconditional, a person can be deemed undeserving of respect. The thing that separates human beings from animals is the ability to reason.. being able to make a rational decision based on facts, observations, and beliefs. Judging another human being on their past actions and current behaviors is a very important part of being a human in a society. Calling an amateur pornstar a "skank" is quite fitting on this basis; Webster defines a skank as "a person and especially a woman of low or sleazy character." This term is perfect for a woman who films herself having sex with multiple partners (male and female) and goes as far as to sodomize herself, live, for money. Personally, I have no respect for this woman.. I could probably enjoy her company in a social setting and not verbally insult her lifestyle choices. But I do not see any problem with judging her actions and holding her, as a person, responsible for the way we look/treat her. She could even gain my respect back by giving it up and admitting it was a mistake (like the Marlboro man did).
These types of people are a daily example of immorality and help to perpetuate our society's moral decay.
Woooo e60s!!!!!!!

This, my friends, is or should be the center conclusion of this thread. Respect isn't unconditional and respect is earned, not taken for granted.

.... However, I do think it's possible to be in that industry and still be a moral person. Morality is perception, there are societal morals (like she shouldn't be doing her thing i a pre-school) but a person's own morals are just that - their own.
This thread is about respect, not morality, so yes everyone deserves some respect until they prove themselves unworthy. Regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity there are a-holes in every group.
This thread is about respect, not morality, so yes everyone deserves some respect until they prove themselves unworthy. Regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity there are a-holes in every group.
First morality is defined as "concern with the distinction between good and evil or right and wrong; right or good conduct"
or
"concerned with principles of right and wrong or conforming to standards of behavior and character based on those principles;"
Having said that working in the porn industry hardly qualifies in "conforming to standards of behavior" as the vast majority of people don't get paid for sex and tape themselves doing this. Also this behavior can very well be categorized by legal institutions and the Church as wrong or evil. And one just has to ask oneself this question: Would i agree or encourage my own daughter to do such a thing? If the answer is NO than you already know the answer to the question of morality and ethics.
And yes the thread is about respect but morality and ethics are strongly correlated with respect in my books. Sorry but i can't have respect for a man or woman that lives in a live style generally accepted as immoral or unethical. As i said respect is gained, not taken for granted. That's not to say, that people should be treated at first with disrespect. No, i treat them equally and neutrally until i get to know more facts about them.

I dont have a problem, they can do as they like and get paid! I am just saying they do not have any right to demand society's respect. Cause and effect for the moral decay of our society and a lack of respect. However, I still am worried about the future of our world without morality.. shes a perfect example.
Yes, not everyone deserves respect, but what we all fail to recognize when thinking about it, is that respect for others is something that stems from self-respect. How much respect do you have for yourself? My guess is - not too much, since you allow yourself to fall low enough to advocate a virtual public stoning, basically. If my statement insulted you, I am sorry - it was NOT my intention. I hope that you can find what my intention was however, and from now on - at least on MY thread - be respectful.
No hard feelings, ok.
