Where’s the horrible part?  

Also, CL, how many cats do you have?  

Ugh... I have 7 lol. Not by choice, mind you. There's just a lot of strays in this town and I have an inability to drop any cats off at a shelter because I don't like the thought of them being in cages or never getting adopted. 

So basically it goes like this: I go for a walk or jog around my neighborhood, spot a homeless kitten crying, curse to myself, pick him up and bring him home lol. 

The good news is all my cats are indoor/outdoor. So they have a little pet door that allows them to go in and out as they please. It makes it a lot easier to manage because I don't have litter boxes (they go outside and bury it), and they spend a lot of time outside so it keeps the fur under control. Nonetheless I dust every day and vaccuum once a week.

Jack, I think they had a falling out after that post, but I admit to purposefully skimming.

Them's a lot of cats.

No shit! I’m the same way! Lmao
But I’m lucky, because I manage to find them loving homes. I’ve only kept two. All other kitties Ive managed to place in loving homes through fb and snapchat heh. I usually nurse them back to health if they’re sick before sending them and I also get them their shots. But yeah, I see em and then I can’t ignore. They just melt my otherwise stone cold heart

You don't have to be Catholic to think sex after a lousy 1st date with a stranger may not be the best idea. Catholicism does not own that notion.

Aw thanks so much for doing that! When I first moved to this town 5 years ago I did try to find homes for all the strays I'd pick up, but no one would take them. It's a small town with a lot of homeless cats, so it's hard, and the 1 shelter here has over 100 kittens. So after my fifth cat I stopped trying lol. I just keep them.

And the reason I added "discourage porn use" to the list is because I feel that porn may play a role in conditioning people to see others (especially women) as sex objects, and condition them to see sex as something self serving and meaningless, devoid of love for the other.  

I don't mean to say that everyone who looks at lots of porn doesn't respect women. I know there are many people out there who use porn a lot but still treat everyone with utmost respect, sexually, and still have a healthy sex life with their SO. It doesn't necessarily have a negative impact on everyone.   

But I feel that for at least some people it can contribute to the problem, or at least be counter productive. Especially when you hear now a days about children as young as 10 finding and watching any and all porn available on the net.... and I take it it's not all nice and pretty porn out there. It's unsettling, to me, to think of a boy having pretty much seen every sex act and kinky weird stuff there is to see before having even gone on a first date with a girl. And vice versa of course. I just don't see it being at all healthy for a person to literally grow up from childhood exposed to these sorts of things, and I question how that will be implemented into their dating relationships and sex life.

Include my wife in that number!

As for the whole agenda thing, I am a new person here, and was unaware of any history, so maybe I am a fair witness.

I didn't see any agenda being promoted. I may disagree in specifics, but I don't see anything sinister going on.

Just my two cents.

I did it once. It worked out great for me and I remember I used a condom but that's almost all I remember lol.

I'm sure I had a lot of fun but it's not even that fun in hindsight because I barely remember it!

I also remember she called herself a taxi so she was probably a lot more sober than I was lol.

Let's just say, I got lucky (in more ways than one), and I won't be doing it again.

Thanks to the game "Card Against Humanity", I now know what buckakee is. Or however it's spelled. Anyway, there's some nasty, degrading shit out there, and call me crazy but I don't like the idea of children growing up on that sort of thing. Call it a Catholic agenda I suppose, I call it just being reasonable lol.

Whatevs and Joods, I think you'll both have to supply evidence that you can care for her needs better than we can. Are you willing to take in her 8 million cats?

Yup. 

Okay then, all yours .. assuming I get visitation privileges.

Young children seeing that is the exception, not the rule. It's generally considered by people who are non-Catholic that kids seeing porn is bad, and showing kids porn is grooming, which is considerably worse. The majority of porn users are sexually mature adults or teens who snuck it.
