I made a similar point in a different thraed a few months ago. Every golf couse has a sign that reads "GOLF AT YOUR OWN RISK" That does not mean that if you get hit by a golf ball you assume the respopnsibility. What it means is if you hit a golf ball and do damage with it you are responsible, just like any male performer is responsible for injuries caused by his 'tool'


I think you're fundamentally incorrect here. If you saw the sign, then were hit in the head by a wild shot. You shouldn't go looking to blame others. You knew where you were, and what you were doing.

But with all the hoopla about running these people out of the buissness, I just dont see why nobdy tried to runn TTBOY out


Where were you? There was a very large very vocal group of industry people and fans calling for his head.

or the fact that Marc Wallice still has a job in this industry.


Again, a very large very vocal group of industry people and fans are still upset about this. We even make fun of his hopeful death on this very board.

Talk to me five years ag=fter you've left the buissness and have to wear a colostomy bag because your ass doesnt work anymore.(Kami)


Probably a cheap shot at Kami, but regardless . . . . do you really think this situation would be anyone's fault(morally, not the basic physical fault, as that would be multitudes of penises and dildos) other than her's?

But in boxing there is a referee in the ring and a doctor at ringside should anything go wrong. Porn has nothing. And to be a professional boxer you must demonstrate to a state athletic commission that you are physically fit to perform.It is not "like boxing" in any way.


Why? Because it isn't regulated enough? Now you're tripping over your own feet. So, you would be okay with it if there were a proctologist and legal advocate for the performers on every porn set?

At what point are people able to assess a risk, and accept it(or refuse to take the risk, god forbid) in your view?

You know what? I think the government should provide something similar to every single human whenever they leave their house, or even move a muscle for that matter. We wouldn't want some poor soul to walk around a construction site without wearing a hard hat to get bashed in the head by a falling hammer, and then be denied the "right" to sue the living shit out of the foreman, and the guy who dropped the hammer.

Edited to make it clear that the last paragraph in this post is sarcasm. Not sure these days.
