Do you think that is true? Or is it a test question to see what the forum will say? :whisling:
 
With thousands of knowledgeable posts ranging from science, social science, art, psychology and philosophy the hottest topic on SPN is about some 'alpha male' watching porn in a gurudawara.

:}8-: :{;o: lol

on a side note: digital porn is just another product of the sexual revolution and porn itself is not foreign to temples of the east:

I think a little comparative religious study is in order. These temples are Jain temples. And the significance of the explicit sexuality was never intended as porn. Please google and discover.

Pornography, the US Supreme Court has said, is very hard to define. They finally fell back on, in the immortal words of Tom Lehrer:
To be smut
It must be ut-
terly without redeeming social importance.

According to this, those Jain temples, which, by the way, I find very beautiful, are not pornographic. Nor would an artistic nude, male or female, be pornography.

Porn is images and/or words intended solely to sexually arouse, usually men, but possibly women.

Nudity need not be porn. Even sexually explicit pictures need not be porn.

As they say, "I know it when I see it."

Artwork I enjoy. Porn disgusts me. And ain't I a woman?

Chardi kala! :ice:

some 'alpha male' watching porn

Sinister Ji,

Alpha Male personalities do not scatter their attention but rather concentrate their energies into a targeted course. When women are naturally attracted to 'alpha male personalities' why then feel frustrated ?

Sinister ji and namjap ji,

Since this discussion has wandered into the topic of the alpha male, I simply must point out that a whole lot of men - with or without turbans - consider themselves "alpha males" when, in fact, they are merely pathetic wannabees.

It isn't difficult for a woman of my age and experience to tell the difference, but a lot of young women confuse machismo with true, wonderful alpha masculinity.

Men who find it necessary to watch porn, especially at totally inappropriate times and places, and men who surreptitiously record women are not alpha males. They are just the pathetic wannabees referred to above.

Think about it.

namjap ji,

i dont think you understood my meaning of 'alpha male'... CULTURE GAP!!

Amongst the youth (in the west) alpha male is a dimwitted, testosterone glazed maroon with the reasoning capacity of a 5 year old primarily because his brain has been drained of blood to supplement his sex organs…and he only impresses equally shallow woman…it’s a kinda like an insult (for many).

Now, why do we like sex related threads so much?…I got some Freudian insight… you see namjap, you and I are inflicted with a disease! Its called ‘life’…and guess what… it’s sexually transmitted! unfortunately it has a survival rate of 0%. :eek:

audios amigos! :cool:

Dear Sinister ji (I still think that's funny),

You said:

This must very much be amongst the young, as I have never heard it used in this derogatory manner nor do I mean it in a bad way when I refer to Mani.

He was an alpha male in the traditional sense, the top male in any given group. I much prefer that usage.

This reminds me of when I informed a Church Lady that "hooking up" among the young does not mean merely meeting and that "friends with benefits" doesn't mean friends receiving Welfare.

Gurufateh to all Gurmukhs,
1) SHAME to those.....who select Granthies like class-IV employs.

2) SHAME on those ....who get Holy Paath done by hired people. Satguru Nanak dev ji travelled nearly 40,000 KM on foot to preach that do meditation yourself and not by hired pujaries as it was a tradition in India . See Rahet-Maryada --every Sikh must read Gurbani and the Holy Paath of Sri Guru Granth Sahib, and for AkhandPaath Sahib/ sahej Paath Sahib family members and lelatives join to get the Paath done....
3) SHAME on those.....who neither recite nor listen the Holy Paath .

Those .........those............... forgive Waheguru.... may I never remember them.....................

I would rather people were educated as to why there exist a tempting fascination, or not, with porn rather than indulge in mob like cackling when another victim of its carnal allure has felled a man of the cloth.


:}:)

The mobs pitchforks are always sharpened, at the ready and always on queue. This societal maneuvering is so conventional that it would be a frightening sight if such consensus in condemnation did not take place. Such swift justice (or injustice) is the fabric that holds all societies and groups together. Groups tend to purge their own ranks at times to maintain cohesion, display a particular standard to other groups and also to construct a synthetic idea of the limits of their own Moral customs.

The defense can do one of two things; make a plead bargain or request acquittal. Any solicitor will tell you that, ‘victim of’ is a proper way to start any defense but a good solicitor will also follow it up with an explanation of how the agency inhibited the choices within the accused (which your template based ramblings do very little of convincingly).

if a person were to objectively meditate on the word ‘personal responsibility’ they would come to the realization that evil does not exist as some abstract partition of society but permeates throughout groups, to each individual like a disease that needs containment and control.

if you make the world out to be a simple dichotomy you will not understand anything. neither will your words resonate to solve or make a difference in an individuals life.

Thanks, Sinister ji. I am somewhat gratified that the traditional meaning is still listed first - and I will be VERY careful how I use the term, especially when describing Mani. He will become "the alpha male in the traditional sense.

And I never, ever use the term "friends with benefits"except when talking about a Judge Judy episode.

Holy cow this thread is on fire:) and has wandered a bit.
I can't define an "alpha male", I am not one but like the description of porn "I know one when I see one." I know I am not one because during a conversation with a friend I realized and revealed to him that I have never in my life struck anyone with my fist in anger and the only time I have been beat up was by a cop. This is very important to me because I try to do as little harm as I can but I am not perfect. Anyway I think violence is an early characteristic of these "alphas" along with a bit of weight lifting later in life so they can dominate in the situation they wish to. What their relationship is to porn I have no idea about.

Also I think on of the phrases that the US Supreme Court used relative to pornography that became popular was "redeeming social value" which is subjective and vague enough to be useless. In America free speech won the day and our right was not diminished which is good for all. From what I have read on this thread I think you all agree.

Peace to all
Satyaban

I think it,s a religious forum. There are so many debatable topics but all that should not
be discussed here .
Anyhow the topic is now highjacked by 'alpha male' supporters; all naked in their community-bathroom. Alpha-male means "the primitive, uncivilized man". West is a hardcore supporter of it. We need it not. A sin shouldn't be celebrated anyway. It's enough .
In the beginning we r told that a pathi is cought watching some indecent pics at the holy place. Gurbani teaches us ," never be a slave to the senses , be faithfull to the married woman and see others as a mother,sister and daughter according to their age."
