I hope that my words were not interpreted as an attack. I meant nothing to Komic besides asking to change it. Also, because you do not see any issues does not mean there are no issues, morality is not in the eye of the beholder, nor is it relative or subjective, but to that point I must admit that it is possible that I am wrong, though I have come across nothing that has ever been able to shake my faith in the matter, but it may be due to my lack of knowledge thus.
I just felt like you were faulting, Komic for being a fan of this chick, because of her unintended actions.
All I was saying is that it is all fair game, if its on the internet.
I'm Christian myself, I can understand where you are coming from with the whole morality angle.
But sometimes, I like to take myself out of that label and look at the issues if I wasn't.
To state my point again: Once something is on the internet its fair game
(unless you have copyright ownership), the
streets internet is ruthless homie.
I also must admit that pornography is a business, as a student of the Austrian school of economics who reviles the state and all her regulations, wanting only the freedom of man, but being a Catholic I cannot call it legitimate on moral grounds. The whole of revealed revelation, the sanction of religion, and indeed all rational thought in accord with the principle of causation leads inevitably to the conclusion that pornography is an affront to the basic dignity, that is the natural and intrinsic worth, of the human person. To the effect of all three reason, I have yet to read BPJP2TG's Theology of the Body, which would no doubt shed light on the issue, but I have with me a particular source and the countless psychological studies that show it for the harm it truly does, both to watcher and performer:

Again, I can still apply this to professional sports athletes. Hell most professions really.
Example A: Football
(American) athletes in particular are prone to suffer from physical trauma to the body and brain. It also has various effects the viewer. I've seen people loose their temper, getting caught up in the moment, and do things they wouldn't normally do. Rabid sports fans have even in the past killed other people over the outcome of a game.
Example B: One of my neighbors suffers from depression, due to the working conditions of his job. He did something with computer science, and worked in cubical setting from 9 to 5. He also suffered from carpal tunnel.
Example C: I'm trying to get into the CGI movie business, I love to make 3D characters and enviorments. But this profession requires a lot of hours in front of the computer as well. That can over time strain my eyes and ultimately lead to me getting glasses or worse eye surgery.
(Not as serious, as getting AIDs or loosing my mind, but an issue none the less)
These are just a couple examples of other professions where the employees can suffer from their line of work. Porn is no exception.
Life comes with consequences? How I agree, sir, cause and effect, 'tis simple and true, however, it is not life itself, but the unbreakable lighthouse of the moral law that we break ourselves against. Further, the crime of others is no justification for our crimes. Just as the man who 'snaps' and murders another who gets on his nerves is at supreme fault for his evil so too we cannot give in to the occasions of sin (known as scandal) that come about through the acts or accidents of others.
I can agree with that, but take it beyond mankind. What about the Cheetah that kills the 17 months old Zebra running with the herd for the first time? What about the male black widow spider that has to give up his life so that his mate can use his body for nourishment for their children? Life is cruel all over
(But at the same time it can be a good place too. Don't want to sound too pessimistic LOL)
