Self Defense: imorgen

Ah, here we go again (he can't mind me linking like that surely, since he spams his own blogs at every opportunity).

It's telling that there are apparently two camps, "those who have asked "Are you really leaving?" and followed it up with kind words", and then "everyone else" aka "you people" (horrible and/or ignorant). The "private" bit does also seem a tad ironic in light of his contacting people, often with huge assumptions, then posting their private responses all in relation to himself.


Oh neat, new word.

I get the point, and I'm sure to some I meet the definition, but allow me to pose a hypothetical relating to the ethic of keeping your mouth shut while exiting.

Lets start with the extremely obvious. I see a bomb hidden under the counter at a crowded bank, the counter reads 5 minutes, I exit silently, the bank explodes killing five. Ethical?

Of course not. But this is hardly a crowded bank and its not like lives are directly on the line. I produce that example simply to illustrate the point that in some situations it is indeed appropriate, perhaps even morally urgent to announce one's exit and reason for said exit, and in others its not.

The question then becomes which is the case here?

My exit of the stumble upon community with regard to providing content and thus profit for them, is based on what I consider to be a destructive attitude towards civil liberty and freedom of expression generally, like the employer who fires everyone who refuses a drug test. Sure its legal, but are there not larger freedom related implications? Think of it like a boycott.

I follow the logic of an employer being able to do as it please on its own private property, and while I disagree with an abstract noun being given the same rights as me, I do understand the position. But the matter becomes ethically complicated when you note that all employers can engage in this behaviors and most people must be employed. Suddenly Corporate law becomes defacto criminal law and if you do not conform you pay your fine for violation of said law in opportunity costs.

My point is that my exit was not merely a gambit for attention to myself, but attention to a series of social problems of which SU policy and the attitude of its most popular posters is merely a symptom.

Innomen as a stumbler identity has in a fundamental way, died. I'll admit that he could rise again, depending only on my mood, but if that's not the case, does he not deserve last words?

There is no deceit here. When I wrote that post I felt that way, and I still do. As I explain in the post I still use the inbox and the send/receive url function. I am automatically notified when I get a new review, as any experienced stumbler knows.

I like blogspot better for the purposes of self expression. It has a clean and easy to use interface, and that's because of course it is made for what I'm doing with it.

It's telling that there are apparently two camps, "those who have asked "Are you really leaving?" and followed it up with kind words", and then "everyone else" aka "you people" (horrible and/or ignorant).


Not at all, and you know better.

The "private" bit does also seem a tad ironic in light of his contacting people, often with huge assumptions, then posting their private responses all in relation to himself.


I respect the respectful. I post what I feel is ethical and relevant. This can take the form of me not caring about what someone thinks, and me caring deeply about what someone thinks.

If a person talks to me and I talk back I own my responses. I have permission to post everything I've ever posted of someone else, even though I don't see any ethical need to acquire said permission. If someone doesn't want me to post their words and my responses, I create a hypothetical version of the conversation with no identifying bits.

You seem reaching, if you read more of my work I'm sure you'll find something easier to tear down if you're looking to troll for whatever reason.

Nude Photography is not Art

Sorry for some nude stumbles i have been stumbling this week, actually i like it as an ART.

I recently fished this gem off a Stumbleupon page of a person with like 600 fans claiming to be a single woman from England. Naturally, her avatar photo looks like a 15 year old leaving for the mall.

Now I don't know this woman, never even spoke to her, or even read her blog other than her profile page, she may actually be what she claims to be, and may not be selling an image to promote various online enterprises, she may also be the most compassionate intelligent woman on the face of the earth. Though I must admit a measure of doubt.

But she's just the straw that broke the camel's back on a subject I've been meaning to speak about. I love a little hottie as much as the rest of you, in fact when I build my robot lover, I'll use photos lifted from 'nude art' blogs as a base for her construction I'm sure.

But I really need to make a point clear here about erotic photography claimed as art. The women may be attractive but you need to understand why. They are not beautiful like a sunset is beautiful. Consider, if it were nude 400 pound flabby hairy men?That's just as much a miracle of biology. Hell even more so. A healthy young woman doesn't inspire any question other than "How best could I sell my soul as her slave to acquire a millisecond of sexual service?" Flabby behemoths are far more interesting, you find yourself thinking "How does it even walk?"

Sex is not art.


I love hearing people try to say artsy things about nude photos. "Look how the light catches her smooth rounded breasts." That would so not work if the subject was a new york truck driver."Look how the light catches his lumpy asymmetrical frontbutt."

Sex is sex and there's nothing wrong with it. After all, I'm the guy that wants to deregulate prostitution, eliminate age limits in favor of a true maturity/inteligence based citizenship test, populate the world with thinking feeling, loving, AI driven or grown sex dolls, and annihilate all sex/relationship/marriage/love law beyond overt harm such as rape, privacy invasion, assault, etc. Flaunt it if ya got it I say, but don't try to make us fight over it. Because people get hurt that way. If you're gunna show off your cookies, be ready to share, or at least sell for a fair price.

Point is, I'm no prude. But confusing sex with art is dishonest. We live in a world that is grossly sexually oppressed. Sex has come to equal art because religion has made sex dirty, corporations have made sex costly, and government has made sex a crime, so we say that our porn is art to keep our girlfriends, wallets, and freedom.


It's REALLY pissing me off.


We say beautiful when we mean fuckable. We say fresh when we mean fuckable. We say adorable when we mean fuckable. And we say Art when we mean porn. Along with all the other advertising and lyrical euphemisms for sex and sexual service. There's virtually no compliment you can pay a girl these days that can't be easily translated or doubled into some sex reference. And calling porn art does not bloody well help. Now don't get me wrong, there are forms of erotic art, The Story of O, I bow before that books greatness for example, but paying a hottie to squirm on the hood of a 300k$ car is not it.

99.99999999999999999% of erotic photographers are closet Johns. (and Janes?)

Bullshit Photographer: “I'm not paying for a sexual favor, I'm making ART, yea thats it, ART. Now here Britney, grip this riding crop in your teeth, squish your tits together, arch your back, and crawl for me.”

Every popular musician has turned into a strip tease artist, singing what amount to one way phone sex into cd's and selling it. I didn't choose the name Britney by chance. Everyone loves a school girl in a short skirt asking “Hit me baby one more time.” Come on, a whole generation of people wanted to pretend they had a spanking fetish like me for 30 seconds when they first saw that video. Girls to, because they saw the effect it was havering on the guys. “You mean I can sport a plaid mini skirt, white panties, with little girl pigtails, and get whatever I want from half the population? Where do I sign up?”

Ticketmaster and Tower Records apparently. And now fucking Stumbleupon as well.

If I had the money I would hire a professional photographer to do nudes of myself styled after each and every one of these so called art pages, white are always full of black and white child like nude models or shaven muscle bound metrosexuals, and see how many people still call it art when it's my flat hairy behind pressed up against the windshield.

Art is something you create, something from your mind and hands. Good photography is an art because of what it takes to get that shot and set construction timing etc. Nude photography is not art. Any funded jack ass can pay a hottie to strip somewhere and squirm around on something while he takes 10,000 photos and pick out the one where she stopped looking like a pill head with ruined dreams of nursing long enough for the shutter to click.

I see living barbie girl #345,836,385 squirming in the sand in front of a beautiful sunset, and I think, I wish that greedy vapid bitch would go get a job that involves actual work and move so I can see that sunset better. And I wish that asshole with the money for a 12mp camera and a trip to Tahiti would take pictures of something without breasts that I can make my back ground without turning my computer into the equivalent of a sticky centerfold scotch taped to the wall in a 15 year old's closet.

Any of my regular readers notice my complete lack of compunction with regard to the personal and subjective tone of this piece? That right. Expect more of this because like is said before.

I'm fucking done.

Sicko "Marriage Contract" One For The Ages

Repulsive "Wifely Expectations" pact emerges in Iowa kidnap case

FEBRUARY 17--This country, as you know, is filled with the deranged. And then there's Travis Frey, a 33-year-old Iowa man who is facing charges that he tried to kidnap his own wife (not to mention a separate child pornography rap). Frey, prosecutors contend, apparently is a rather demanding guy. In fact, he actually drew up a bizarre four-page marriage document--a "Contract of Wifely Expectations"--that sought to establish guidelines for his spouse in terms of hygiene, clothing, and sexual activities. In return for fulfilling certain requirements, Frey (pictured right) offered "Good Behavior Days," or GBDs. Each GBD, Frey wrote, could be redeemed by his wife to "get out of doing the things" he requested daily. A copy of the proposed contract, which Frey's wife never signed and later provided to cops, can be found below. While we normally point out the highlights of most documents, there are so many in this demented, and very graphic, contract, we really can't do it justice. So set aside ten minutes--and prepare to be repulsed. (4 pages)

----------------------



While I obviously agree, as the bulk of you do, that these demands are unreasonable. I think pejoratives like sick and demented (based only on the contract) are unwarranted and stem directly from honesty about and disclosure of what should be a private matter.



Would you like every thing you've ever done or wanted sexually to be a matter of public record? Which I might add has become a euphemism for public ridicule.



Your ranting at this man is as mature as tossing apples at the village drunkard chained to the pillory. You're kicking a criminal because you can. Why don't you rant at what caused him to think this was reasonable behavior in the first place? Namely monogamy! And where is the vitriol for the women willing to marry a man like this?



Consider, you as a society tolerate just this sort of self centered madness daily. More than tolerate it, you subsidize it! Consider, he actually had a wife to present this contract to. So at least one woman subsidized this person with a relationship that culminated in marriage. Is she a 'sicko' too? If so where's the hate for her? For every 1 'sicko' like this there are at least 50 decent single men whom women in general would not touch with a ten foot poll.



Hell even the asshole that circumcised his son with a utility knife had multiple women, and 11 kids.



You're just mad about the contract because he is illustrating a fact that you guys love to hide. All relationships are exchanges. Granted, not this declared and not this unilateral. Consider the level of subservience demanded in many consensual D/s relationships, are they all sickos as well? Are we going to make this a sexual rights issue?



Honestly I don't see anything wrong with the attempt. Prenuptial agreements are pretty much this fucked up, just not as specific. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but legally speaking, a contract may contain any act that's legal. And I don't see any criminal behavior required of either party. Besides I don't see his duties listed, doesn't a contract also have to have duties for both parties in order to be a contract?



I think this contract is clearly a sex toy, not a realistic demand and it was given to the public out of anger (justified or not) and spite. If it were an actual demand would it be any different from the consequences of the traditional obey clause in the wedding vow? Could a husband in a traditional Christian setting not ask for all these things and expect them as a matter of spousal duty? So again, who are you really mad at?



You people are just angry because he's being unabashedly honest about the nature of what a marriage is, and most of you lie to your mates about what you want thinking that they don't know thinking that you'll make a profit form the deception while they simultaneously lie to you.



News flash, marriage and monogamy is mainly about sex people and it always has been. Its primarily a human ownership contract that confers sexual rights and limitations. The men hate this guy because they are making public what about 90% of them would take if they could get it. A sweet little sex slave. And the women are mad because they don't want to see open negotiation of spousal duties because of the huge advantage they currently posses due to ignorance on the part of men, that advantage being centered around sexual power.



And he's brutally honest about his own desires, something we as citizens are always humiliated for doing.



P.S. For the record, since people seem to fail to grasp this, I am not defending this individual person, merely the action of attempting to contractually bind a mate in sexual detail, because thats what the bulk of you do covertly. Had this been about money and instead of sex, it wouldn't even be on the net, which says something about your puritanical roots.



I don't know this person and neither do you. And I obviously do not condone kidnapping or child pornography. But I see nothing wrong with writing a contract and presenting it to someone so long as no force or other unethical acts are used to obtain a signature.
