      <title>(Pig Fuckah) Okay, I just re-read what I wrote and... (text)</title>
      <author>Pig Fuckah</author>
      <description>...it sounds just like if I was planning to go fuck a whore but needed to "get the green light" from you guys first. That's not the case though. I've only had sex in a relationship and I'm not sure if either one-night stands or visits to a prostitute are very good things, necessarily.

What I was aiming at is that possibly in some circumstances something that's considered perfectly normal by a lot of people (picking someone up at a restaurant) would actually be a worse thing to do than something considered bad by a lot of people (fucking a sex worker). Or the other way around. Cos when you're at a bar and make a decision to sleep with someone your decision-making abilities may be impaired, for there's a good chance you're drunk (fucking obviously). Consequently you may end up sleeping with someone you normally wouldn't sleep with.

I wonder how many times discussions like this have taken place...

Guy #1: "Picked up a girl last Friday. At first she wasn't really into my suggestion but after I bought her a few drinks she gladly came to my place."
Guy #2: "Congrats, you're the man."

However we hardly hear anyone bragging off on how they went to a prostitute. And it wouldn't be anything to brag off on of course. That can be classified as taking advantage of someone. But isn't rendering someone's decision-making ability impaired and then sleeping with her (or him?) taking advantage of someone, too? I think so. Yet, if you do one of these things you're a hero, if you do the other one you're a loser. So having said that, in my opinion if the guy #1 in my example really had to fuck someone, going to a prostitute could've possibly been a better decision than sleeping with that drunk girl was. POSSIBLY. Depending on the circumstances of course. 

But as I said I'm not sure if either nailing random people at bars or visits to a prostitute are that good things really. </description>

      <description>: >>> My opinion on prostitution comes from my not wanting the girls to get hurt and/or addicted, etc. That's being a judgemental shitrod to you?

---No, the "It should be illegal because not everyone knows what's good for them" is.

: >>> Right, if it's not in a whore house you can't call the cops, what are you retarded?

---No, if it's not LEGAL, you can't call the cops without getting thrown into jail or harshly fined yourself. You seem to be the retarded one.

: >>> I didn't mean everyone is too young to make an informed decision about life at that age, I meant that there's a huge risk you might not make the right one, AND in that I also include the fact that if you consider becoming a prostitute for a living then something's wrong to begin with. You're either in a downward spiral or not very bright.

---Yeah, because people who would be happy with it just doesn't exist. Right. There are also no people who LIKE drugs, nor are there any people who like eating feces. I'd say "JESUS CHRIST!" but....
This is a perfect example of the "judgemental shitroddiness" you denied earlier.

: >>> And you are? 

---NO, which is exactly my point!

: >>> Ok, so you tell me how your voting has affected your life since you were given the right, and then let's compare that to how going into prostitution changed an 18-year-old girl's life. I bet it's the same.

---You're still dodging the issue. It's STILL HER LIFE, NOT YOURS. Voting affects everyone. Whether you like it or not.

: :: >>> No, that doesn't make you a racist, but I love your shot at martyrdom.

---Good thing you liked it. I just don't care enough to be bothered.

: >>> I like how your argument changed from a girl wanting to be a prostitute to a discussion about legalizing the whole thing and house it in "clinics".

---It's still the same. I never changed the argument. It's all in the same category, and it's all relevant. You're just being thick-headed because you want to be. That's why you went on MSN before I had even read this reply.

: And yes, condoms do break, and the more condoms you use/the more clients you have sex with, the higher the risk is that it'll happen. But I guess you'd have to have sex to know that.

---Oho, getting personal, are we? 

: : ---And I'd say that argument was totally irrelevant to begin with.
: 
: >>> Your stupid example sure as hell beat mine.

---It DID beat yours. Just not the way you thought.  

: 
: >>> I didn't dodge the argument, I called you on the idiocy of your comment.

---Which is dodging in my book.

: >>> That's wonderful. 1200 out of 6000 work in clinics. I'll jot that down.

---1200 out of 2000, actually. Read it again and then come back. Right now, you're just making a fool out of yourself.

: >>> Hahahaha. Yeah, I bet they do. I mean, after all, they're checked every  month and inbetween that they just have sex with how many? 150 times with possibly just as many different clients?

---Sorry, but you can't just laugh away facts.

: >>> I've watched them a few times and I think the show is pretty useless. Once they talked about how everything in the bible can't possibly true and went on like it was the discovery of the century. You'd have to be a fucking crackhead to believe it literally, and they still went on like every christian on the planet actually thought that was the case. I've seen them talk about other stuff, too, and they're a little too "Oh yeah, fuck shit, crap" for my taste.

---Regardless of your opinion, they are correct in most subjects (all that I have seen so far).

: >>> You know, as awesome as that sounds, I wouldn't believe it no matter where it came from. You think a clinic would go out and say "Well, we have a magnificant record of only 2 out of 10 ppl getting an STD at our place!" 
: and the clients would be about as likely to go "Yeah, you know, I've been there 200 times and only on 24 occasions did I get anything!" 
: This opinion has nothing to do with our discussion here, I'm not saying it because you pulled out numbers and I have to "beat you", I simply wouldn't believe those records no matter who showed them to me.

---Then I am afraid you will forever remain ignorant in this case. Even if proof is handed to you, you refuse to accept it. You almost sound like a creationist.

: 
: You really should work on trying not to take everything so personally, btw.

---Which is exactly what I am NOT doing here. But who am I to question you on that? You have a gazillion university points in every subject.

Now, I consider this officially over, you said what you wanted to, I've said what I wanted to. Facts have been stated and not accepted, so I'm out.</description>

>>> Right, if it's not in a whore house you can't call the cops, what are you retarded?

You're either in a downward spiral or not very bright.

 Not to mention how you know absolutely nothing about it, seeing as you are hardly qualified to determine whether or not an individual is mature enough.

>>> And you are? 

: 
: : *** I'd say voting puts her in less of a dangerous position, wouldn't you? There are absolute drunks who have voting rights (and of course most often don't vote), I'd say an 18-year-old can do it. And being a prostitute affects your life a tad bit more than voting, wouldn't you say?
: 
: ---Note the "YOUR life" in your sentence there. That "YOUR" is the key word. You just don't seem to get it. Not to mention how voting affects EVERYONE, not just yourself. And saying her vote doesn't affect much is like saying no one's vote does if you keep going down that lane.

>>> No, that doesn't make you a racist, but I love your shot at martyrdom.

:  
: : *** Sure it is, but no matter, prostitutional sex is more likely to spread STD. Simple as that. If you're having sex for money and do it perhaps 3-4 times a day or whatever, the risk of a condom breaking or a client refusing to even put one on is going to be higher than for a normal girl.
: 
: ---It's far from as simple as that. Even here, it depends on the context. If it's a streetwalking hooker, fine, I'd agree, but if it's an organised place, like a clinic, that's just NOT TRUE. Besides, the condom breaking... Really, Johannes? How often does that happen? And even with that taken into consideration, how big is the chance that either of them is actually infected with anything?

>>> I like how your argument changed from a girl wanting to be a prostitute to a discussion about legalizing the whole thing and house it in "clinics".

>>> I didn't dodge the argument, I called you on the idiocy of your comment.

>>> Hahahaha. Yeah, I bet they do. I mean, after all, they're checked every  month and inbetween that they just have sex with how many? 150 times with possibly just as many different clients?

I've seen them talk about other stuff, too, and they're a little too "Oh yeah, fuck shit, crap" for my taste.

: Season 4, episode 2 (their site lists it ep3, but whatever, it's not hard to find), is about this very subject. You should watch it.
: I watched it yesterday, part because of this thread, and part because, well, they are awesome, and I should watch more of them than I have already.
: They talked to both sides, as usual, and they went to a clinic with quite a few "working girls". They had all kinds of restrictions, like very hard rules of sanitation for their facilities, regular STD checks for their girls every week, AIDS tests for their girls every month, condom requirements (duh) and so on.
: This all showed that out of every girl that has ever worked there, currently or previously, NONE had EVER been infected. With ANYTHING. EVER.
: You just can't beat a zero, now, can you?

>>> You know, as awesome as that sounds, I wouldn't believe it no matter where it came from. You think a clinic would go out and say "Well, we have a magnificant record of only 2 out of 10 ppl getting an STD at our place!" 
and the clients would be about as likely to go "Yeah, you know, I've been there 200 times and only on 24 occasions did I get anything!" 
This opinion has nothing to do with our discussion here, I'm not saying it because you pulled out numbers and I have to "beat you", I simply wouldn't believe those records no matter who showed them to me.

You really should work on trying not to take everything so personally, btw.

---Their immigration laws sure as hell beat ours. But wait, saying that makes me a racist, right? Oh my god, what should I do?
 
: *** Sure it is, but no matter, prostitutional sex is more likely to spread STD. Simple as that. If you're having sex for money and do it perhaps 3-4 times a day or whatever, the risk of a condom breaking or a client refusing to even put one on is going to be higher than for a normal girl.

---It's far from as simple as that. Even here, it depends on the context. If it's a streetwalking hooker, fine, I'd agree, but if it's an organised place, like a clinic, that's just NOT TRUE. Besides, the condom breaking... Really, Johannes? How often does that happen? And even with that taken into consideration, how big is the chance that either of them is actually infected with anything?

: *** I'd say "hobbies" was the greatest of your examples there.

---And I'd say that argument was totally irrelevant to begin with.
 
: *** Well, if you - for a living - meet ppl in the parking lot all by yourself, then sure, it could be just as dangerous.

---Way to dodge the argument there, and it gave you an opportunity to be a dick. Good going, bro.
  
: *** That's where it'll end up eventually for a LOT of them. Not all of them, but a LOT.

---"Today, there are about 6000 prostitutes in Denmark, and about a third of them in Copenhagen. The biggest share of them, around 1200, work at clinics  in Copenhagen."
Translated from a news paper, SvD.
Now, those women spread about as many STDs as you do.

Do you watch Penn and Teller's Bullshit? If not, you should. Season 4, episode 2 (their site lists it ep3, but whatever, it's not hard to find), is about this very subject. You should watch it.
I watched it yesterday, part because of this thread, and part because, well, they are awesome, and I should watch more of them than I have already.
They talked to both sides, as usual, and they went to a clinic with quite a few "working girls". They had all kinds of restrictions, like very hard rules of sanitation for their facilities, regular STD checks for their girls every week, AIDS tests for their girls every month, condom requirements (duh) and so on.
This all showed that out of every girl that has ever worked there, currently or previously, NONE had EVER been infected. With ANYTHING. EVER.
You just can't beat a zero, now, can you?</description>

      <description>: : I'm not pro prostitution in ANY way, so of course I was serious.
: 
: ---I'm not against it.

*** I'm against it. But I guess that was pretty clear. :)

: 
: : I'm not saying I don't understand your point though, because I do. But there are issues like what if an 18-year-old wants to earn money by becoming a prostitute? Would that be ok with you? The fact that she wants it, is that enough?
: 
: ---And I understand yours, but I don't mind. Not saying it's necessarily a GOOD decision, but it is hers to make and not anyone elses. I think it's as bad to judge her for it as it is to tell someone they are going to hell for not believing in God, to put it in different context. (No, I didn't say that to tick you off, it's just an example.)

*** I'd say that was just about the most stupid context you could put it in, and not because of the earlier thread, simply because that comparison was reall dumb. Judging ppl is one thing, saying you're against prostitution isn't judging the prostitutes, it's having an opinion on the fact that it's a dangerous business. I'm saying she's too young to realize the could-be consequences.

: 
: : I'm just letting my mind wander here, because I'd say she's too young to know what's good for her even if she's - in Swedish eyes - "myndig", meaning she can have a driver's license, get married, etc. I see a problem there.
: 
: ---Are you against her voting at that age as well? If she doesn't have good enough judgement to know if she can handle prostitution without issues, I'd say she doesn't have good enough judgement to vote for the future of a country.

*** I'd say voting puts her in less of a dangerous position, wouldn't you? There are absolute drunks who have voting rights (and of course most often don't vote), I'd say an 18-year-old can do it. And being a prostitute affects your life a tad bit more than voting, wouldn't you say?

: 
: : I also think you're an absolute loser if you pay to have sex with a prostitute
: 
: ---Be that as it may, it's still a successful business in, say, Denmark, where it is perfectly legal to buy sex.

*** Yeah, Denmark rules. Their immigration politics are awesome, too. And the drug laws. Sweet country. She could buy drugs legally AND be a whore!

: 
: : not to mention the increased risk for STD's, and so on.
: 
: ---If I was a prostitute, I certainly wouldn't have unprotected sex. If you do, you're retarded. Just sayin'.

*** Sure it is, but no matter, prostitutional sex is more likely to spread STD. Simple as that. If you're having sex for money and do it perhaps 3-4 times a day or whatever, the risk of a condom breaking or a client refusing to even put one on is going to be higher than for a normal girl.

: 
: : Another argument could be that the deeper you drift into the world of having sex for money, the harder it is to get out of it.
: 
: ---Could be, I dunno. Would be true for all "pleasures" (cigarettes, beer and/or hobbies, really.

*** I'd say "hobbies" was the greatest of your examples there.

: 
: : Also, prostitutes will most likely agree to have sex more frequently than a "normal" woman since there's money involved. That means she's more at risk of running into a violent person at some point.
: 
: ---Yes, but aren't you at risk of running into that same man in the parking lot? If it's organised, like in Denmark as I used in an earlier example, that risk is no larger than having your store robbed.

*** Well, if you - for a living - meet ppl in the parking lot all by yourself, then sure, it could be just as dangerous.

:  
: : Blah blah blah, and so on. But that's my take on it.
: 
: ---And this was mine. Keep in mind that I'm not arguing for the "shady" kind of prostitution. I don't think it's a good thing to have a 19-year-old drug addict sell her body to old men so she can afford more cocaine. 

*** That's where it'll end up eventually for a LOT of them. Not all of them, but a LOT.

      <description>: --- The picking up thing often involves telling lies, feelings of regret afterwards when sober and even heartbreaks. ("I thought he/she really was interested but apparently it was all about sex.") 

---Exactly my point. It's about your attitude towards the whole thing, honesty and the feelings of the partner. If s/he only wants sex, then that's fine. If not, then I'd say it's fucked up.

: The visiting a prostitute thing, OTOH at least sounds quite honest. Both parties know what the deal is. First you come, then you pay, then you come, and then you leave. Of course if there's pimping involved and she (or he) isn't doing in voluntarily, that's a different thing then...

---And again, agreed. It's all about circumstances here too. Is it consentuous? Then it's ok in my book. Is there pimping and shit involved? Then it's fucked up. I assume we are talking about a prostitute who does it of his/her own free will.</description>

      <title>(KOTC) Nothing wrong with visiting a prostitute. Screw her and pay her and that's another ballgame. /nt</title>
      <author>KOTC</author>
      <description>: : 1) Am I the only one who's utterly sick of Facialbook and how everyone is going on about it all the time? Not to mention how a FB account is slowly and surely becoming a must have. Yeah I know, it's really handy if you have friends in another state, country etc yadda yadda. But it's also sad that we know have people who rather spend their Saturday evenings "facebooking" with the very same people they used to go out with, and people who tell you to check their Facebook page if you call them up and ask them how they're been doing.
: 
: ---I have one, and I log in once or twice a day, but I haven't updated my status since the day I got it. I agree with you on more or less every point.
: 
: : 
: : 2) Is there some weird stuff you'd like to do in life? The religion thread reminded me of how I'd like to get drunk in Iran. I think I'd get some perverted satisfaction out of it.
: 
: ---Can't really say if there's anything "weird" I wanna do, but I would like to visit some place like Sierra Leone or something like that, and work with perhaps Doctors Without Borders for a month or so. No real reason. Just something I've been wanting to do since a friend of mine told me she was planning to do just that.
:  
: : 3) Would it actually be more "honest" and "moral" to visit a prostitute than to try your luck at a drinking restaurant? Not that I'm planning to do either, just wondering.
: 
: ---I've never considered visiting a prostitute morally wrong anyway. I'd call it a business deal, really. Unless it has pimping involved and stuff like that. So I guess it depends on your attitude when you go to that drinking restauraunt. Can't wait for someone to jump down my throat about that prostitute thing.</description>

      <description>: : Hey everyone.  It's been awhile since I've shown my face around here but I was wondering what everyone thought of the following two bands: Power Quest and Delain.  I have been listening to them both non-stop lately and have recommended both to The Keeper for his listening enjoyment.  What are your thoughts?
: 
: Hilariously terrible to listen to. It's good for a laugh to be sure, but definitely nothing I'd listen to if I was actually wanting good MUSIC. Delain I heard a couple of songs, and they were pretty boring, only ones I heard that remotely stood out were the ones Marco Hietala did vox on.</description>

      <author>Satan</author>
      <description>: Sorry man, the production does sound kinda weak. It doesn't bother me personally(I listen to a lot of stuff with even worse production), but KOTC's description of "metal in a tin can" is pretty much spot on.
: 
: As for the songs themselves, not bad, though I confess I kinda prefer the  style of the band's previous albums to what I'm hearing here, they were a bit more energetic, I guess. Of course, that's only 2 songs, so maybe they're not totally representative. If they're not, tell your guys to upload something a big faster/more uptempo for the next preview;-)

There are some songs which are more uptempo than those, I only posted them because they had a quasi mastering jb on them, the album isnt mastered at all yet except the rough one.  As far as the production goes....believe it or not we had some good label offers and they all loved the production odd that none of you like it which is what shocks me.  Im not mad you guys think that just suprised.....and....when we saw the shitty contracts we realized that labels arent the way to go since i know all of the ppl record labels use to distribute music and promote it anyway so we just liscensed it out to get it distributed.

: 
: Of the 2 new ones, Signaling the End had a sort of King Diamond vibe to it(both musically and vocally-was it intentional?), and was my favorite of the two.

KD has no influence on me at all......but nice comparison though :)  I know our guitarist loves Andy Laroque and Tommy Vetterli.

      <description>: Love your vocal work, but I enjoy your writing skillz, too.
: 
: Also, I've heard you do some growly vocals, and it wasn't too bad!

*** Hey, thanks. :) I haven't done much writing recently, but apparently these guys will gladly hand over that responsibility and I'll just as gladly take it. I'll keep you posted.

My growly vocals, I've done a little of that.. But I can't do it for long, I don't have the technique, I'd lose my voice in no-time. :)
