Does being a star in the adult movie industry make one immoral?

1. You thinking of a new career, valis?

:D

[valis]

10. No... LOL... I just read something bigoted about porn stars...

And was wondering if one could be a porn star and be a perfectly moral individual...

2. Only if you voted for Bush

3. Morals . . .

are a fabrication based on fairy tales from thousands of years ago.

Ethics and Decency are a fairer standard of judgement. As long as they aren't hurting anyone else, I have no problem with people doing as they wish.

4. Who's immoral? A porn star, or a soccer mom who works in the

defense industry abetting the production of weaponry that is intended to kill little brown kids in some country she can't even find on the map? How about a lady who works for big tobacco?

I'd give the porn star the free ride on this particular morals charge.

5. Well said. (n/t)

9. My dad made his career for 41 years at Lockheed Martin.

(Though it had many names during his tenure there, originating with Sperry Rand before undergoing many ownership changes.)

He was directly involved in the design and testing of the ABCCC planes used in the first Gulf War.

He is as moral and principled a man as I've ever met.

12. You realize that the original question is broadly based on an

industry standard, not individual specific. I think my response is perfectly legit in that light.

13. The original question is based on a completely different industry.

If you want to judge the morality of the adult film industry, judge it on its own merits or lack thereof.

Broadly stating that employees of the defense industry are less moral than employees of the adult film industry is no better than broadly denigrating all employees of the adult film industry to begin with.

16. Let's face it... People have to make a living in our society...

[Left Is Write]

20. Yes, they do.

[valis]

11. Very good point.

[leftofthedial]

6. immoral?

or immortal?

the hours are long and hard.

[Chovexani]

7. Oh, that was bad!

Bad librul! :spank:

[leftofthedial]

8. but when I'm bad

I'm good!

14. No, but it'll get you an invite to a Bush White House Dinner

17. Who's that guy on the left staring at her ass?

Wondering if it's some guy strong on family values...

[IChing]

15. It makes you IMMORTAL depending on DVD

[WI_DEM]

18. To each his/her own

I don't try to judge others.

19. It's like any other actor, I'd think.

I just changed my own mind, LOL!

I mean, Tom Hanks playing an assassin doesn't mean he has no morals. Nicole Kidman falling in love with a 10 year old boy doesn't mean she has no morals. Johnny Depp playing a coke guy doesn't make him immoral.

Shah Rukh Khan being the dreamiest doesn't mean... oh, LOL. Never mind that.
