Sure...that's what they all say. ;)
Just kidding.
My husband gets after me all the time because I have more R rated DVD's than probably any other kind.
Whenever one of the girls goes through my DVD case looking for a movie, his joke is, "Don't go through Mom's porn."
I'm guessing you're going to rent Y Tu Mama Tambien this weekend. ;-)
Actually, I think there are many men who feel this way.

When my wife and I were engaged, a Bolivian woman we know took her aside and said she wanted to explain about sex: "It's just something you put up with: 3 minutes of pain, and then it's over."

Saddest thing I ever heard.
That is sad.
It goes along with the old puritan advice they used to give women. It was always advised the during sex, you should just "close your eyes and think of England."
Hmmm....closing my eyes and thinking of Harrison Ford always worked better for me. LOL
But seriously, it's a really well-done film. The director/writer is Alfonso Cuaron, who directed "The Little Princess" and the third Harry Potter film.
I agree. That was completely on topic. It gets so frustrating.
No kidding. I mean the topic itself would be considered "political," and then closed, if started by a critic. At least Trinity was trying to make the topic relevant to religious discussion.

Maybe if I said, "I saw an R rated movie once" they'd say No personal threads!
I think Morningstar would convert to Islam if they had a Prophet you could send money too. Honestly....she needs to face reality.
Her son will be discussing sex with his pals in a few years. A few years after that he'll be masturbating. A few years after that he'll be making out with some chick behind the ward house rounding first base....A few years after that he'll probably forget he ever did anything and go on a mission and never speak of his previous indiscretions ever again, soon to be married to a 19 year old in the temple. He'll then start popping out little kids who he'll worry should never see sex. And the cycle will begin again.....
What came first in Mormonism? The chicken or the egg?

I was going to respond over on MAD, but what's the point? Morningstar is quite content to be have her head stuck in the ground...and I really don't give a crap about trying to change her mind on the issue. Let her be a total prude who tries to keep her kids from living in the mainstream world. She'll fail probably, and the kids will be more worldly than she wants them to be. Good for the kids if they do.

There is no point in responding over there. It is clear that Morningstar is the one that had problems with my mention of the Bible and its ugliness. Here is her rebuttal to others who have since brought it up:
[quote name='MorningStar' date='Sep 13 2007, 10:43 AM' post='1208260094'] The Bible is considered scripture and I don't want it to be a part of this discussion please.
There you have it folks. Selective righteous indignation. Her bright young son will pick up on that particular hypocritical thinking as he learns and grows farther outside her immediate proximity influence.
