Political Correctness (or Lack of it
What is the Approximate Maturity Rating of this Site?
Most of it should be either U (Universal) or PG-Something (Parent Guidance). I’m not a blatantly pornographic person.
Why are you using the terms “girl”, “chick”, etc.?
I’m using the term “girl” for lack of a better term for “a female guy”. I was told that some overly strict feminists consider it derogatory, but until a better word emerges, that’s what I’m going to use. (And I don’t find it particularly derogatory).
Why are you using the term “nazi” to refer to people who are “needlessly strict”?
Because it is an acceptable use for such a word. You can find the fallout from one of my uses of it on this linmagazine.co.il page (in Hebrew) (“And what does it have to do with anything? Did Hitler use Linux?”). I didn’t stop using the word “nazi” afterwards, and also see the post “The Grammar Nazis Conspiracy” on my personal/philosophical blog.
Many people treat the Nazis/Hitler/Holocaust/World War II issue with too much “holiness”.
Another recent use of this in my works is in featuring Chuck Norris and Summer Glau on The Muppet Show as Grammar Nazis (with a capital “N”) who undergo a gradual Catharsis and become benevolent people.
Furthermore I should note that using "nazi" like that actually underlines the main reason which caused the deterioration of the Nazis in Nazi Germany due the fact that they were too insistent on being strict and avoid breaking or bending the rules, or voicing any antagonism towards Nazism there. This made them into tragic victims who accepted their fate of death and stagnation instead of being action heroes or “hackers” who constantly bend the rules, challenge norms, and don’t accept their fate:
Reflection on the David and Goliath myth and why David there was an action hero and a hacker (and — no! Samson was far from being the only action hero in the Jewish Bible).
Also see "just following orders" or the Nuremberg defence, with which the "I just work here" attitude is not different.
Why do you mention Hitler, Nazis, etc. in some of Your Writings?
I found it suitable to use it for them, so I did. For the record, my grandfather lost most of his family during the Holocaust, and so I cannot be accused of misusing such facts. Steven Spielberg whose parents are Jewish Holocaust survivors, also featured the Nazis or Hitler in many films (notably the Indiana Jones trilogy), so if a fire has caught the Firs…
What do you think about Porn?
Every person has an inalienable right to expose his or her body in private, and to allow people to photograph it, paint it, describe it, etc. Sexual activity is also similarly acceptable. Claiming that porn should be illegal or illegitimate undermines both the right of free speech, and the right of a man or a woman to their body.
Furthermore, the artwork that a person decides to enjoy in his free time, is of no concern to the Peace and Justice in a Liberal country, and should not be enforced. Only when a person is influenced from such artwork in his everyday actions, then he may be prosecuted.
Nevertheless, I find most porn disgusting and disturbing, but still think one should be allowed to produce it, distribute it, and experience it. Some of the greatest artists in history produced pornographic or erotic artworks.
Are there any Links to Porn on your Site?
There may be some links to soft porn, etc. Or to individual pornographic pages that illustrate a certain point.
