Ideal Bite

Cathrin, If you really don’t care to change anyone’s opinion then you won’t post again...you’ll go do your meditation and physical therapy and whatever you need to do to maintain that great equilibrium that you purport to have. .... im sorry but i am physically handicapped due to a disease called ' SCLERODERMA' so i have no choice i MUST go to physical therapy daily .. it is kinda like having MS ... and yes yoga helps with the depression of being handicapped it may not look like some peoples yoga .. but it works for handicapped people to keep them calm and their spirits lifted . im done sorry for trying to make a post or too and have a little amusement and plus state how i felt about the issue at hand . and yes i do have great BP and try to keep a good attitude even tho most in my situation may sit around crying to every one . crying wont fix it so why bother .

I got so upset about the porn reference I completely lost it. I put down my veal (tortured baby cow) sandwich ran outside and dumped a quart of used motor oil on a baby seal. Just kidding. Come on ladies it’s about helping keep our earth clean for our children. If we can get everybody on board, even porn buying 20somethins. It will make differences. p.s. I really do like veal, Sorry Vegans.

keeping our earth clean won't do anything for our children if our minds are in the gutter. We get the point that the tip wasn't technically about porn but the way it was introduced and brought to us wasn't expected by most to come from a green tip newsletter and I think that's why most people were taken off guard. Even the word just sounds ugly. I'm probably more green than most of the readers that the ideal bite targets but the reality is that we need to make a difference in our lives and those of our children first before we focus on the earth.

I have to admit it... I'm no prude, but I was a little taken aback by the "porn tip." I guess it was like you told a joke that much of your audience didn't get. Every comedian bombs at some point... oh well. BTW, I hate e-books. When electricity is at a premium because we don't have enough oil to generate it cheaply, the damn things will be useless.

Amen, Colinski! Thanks for offering up those thoughts. Jeanne, I'm not sure how or why you came under attack when your original comment was not pro-porn but pro-library, so thanks for your input as well. And the reminders about deep breathing. :)

thankyou Susu (( hugs )) i think the person attacking thought when i said i must go to physical therapy they mistook that as a glamor spa .. which i assure you it isnt ... sometimes the screaming seems more like torture . i still enjoy the ideal bite and the tips and believe we all need to try to live greener .... and with the box of books i acquired from freecycle yesterday i will have some great reading to enjoy as the weather gets colder . peace to all of you even those that may be having a grumpy day .

GREAT job!! Keep these bites flowing. I love your sass, your attempts to reach ALL types of people, and the entire purpose of your Bites. My boyfriend gets SO many good ideas from naughty sites online; finally I get to relate some information about sustainability and conserving to something he already understands! We BOTH have friends who will love your Bites. He's going to laugh all day at some of the posturing and blustering in these comments, like I did! Thanks for the hearty laughs everyone! We really needed our work day lightened up!

I have to say that the tip on porn surprised me but it was the comments made by the biters afterward that really bothered me. It should concern you that you offended so many in your audience. On a positive note: I am impressed that there are so many outspoken women out there who understand the dangers of pornography! And if you don't think it hurts people, I know a six year old child you can speak to whose daddy will tell you that PORNO can destroy your life and family. I'm unsubscribing because of this and the offensive comment "crazy evangelicals" that you made today. Do you live in a bubble? I am proud to be a "crazy evangelical" who doesn't think porno is funny - lightly referenced or not!!

Anyone who is complaining about their poor offended sensibilities is revealing that they don't really give a damn about helping to save the planet and humanity. They're just out there to preach and moralize and hopefully beat everyone else down to being the same bland, boring person that they are. Get real people. Most people enjoy looking at porn. And so cutting back the waste in that industry does us all a favour. How does acting all offended at the mention of naked bodies help make the world a better place? Keep your moralizing to yourself, people, and let the consenting adults and their fans do what they please. You have the choice to not look at it. Just as you had the choice to not read the tip after you realized what it was about. But it seems you all DID read the tip, huh? Seems you are all just a bit more curious than you let on to be, huh? ;)

Hi, Well, thanks for admitting that you are a porn user which is more than most of the porn defenders on here are willing to do (most of them said that they don't use it, but are defending it for other people). However, you didn't read what the detractors had to say on the subject because we do believe we are helping to save humanity in speaking against porn (really read the entries above and you'll see). Also, porn is much more than naked bodies...it's not the fact that they're naked but that they're souless (as far as porn viewers care) bodies of thousands of people involved in emotionally, and relationaly (and in rare cases physically) damaging activites. Speak to people who consider themselves "freed" from the porn industry and you'll hear stories of tortured souls. And millions of others who are viewing them are getting off on it. You really should read what even the people on this blog have to say before judging us as bland or boring. I, for example, am an adorable, hilarious, creative, and generally super-fun-to-be around chick. I believe it's wise to be monogomous and even to limit the person you get off on to be your partner...not because I'm moralizing but because it makes my relationship better, my trust deeper, and my intimacy more fulfilling. If you want to look at porn, that's fine, but it's a drug and like all drugs, your body (and mind and spirit, but they're all one in my opinion) can filter out a small amount, but there is a high risk of developing a serious problem with porn and it truly can poison your body and mind (the chemicals that porn creates in your body are similar the ones you get from real sex but more immediate and not tied to any vulerability or intimacy to bring them down to a more tolerable level for you body and soul. Anyway, I encourage you to really read through this blog at least...if not do some research of your own on porn addiction and what that industry has done to some people. All the best to you, CW
