Aside from the minority of people who are just born happy, I don't understand how people can be happy without organized religion.

I don't know much about drunks and druggies because I never had any as friends until Holly. But being with someone who'd never been inside a church or synagogue, I realized the things that religion gives that I had taken for granted:

* It instills discipline because you have to constantly deny yourself for God/community/etc.

* It provides you with community to monitor your behavior. It is a lot easier to convince yourself that what you are doing is OK than to convince your religious community (Dennis Prager).

* It gives you purpose. It gives you tons of things to do when you get up in the morning. (One reason that evangelical Christians devote so much time to proselytizing is that their religion lacks rituals and thus they have nothing better to do with themselves than bother people.)

* It provides the accumulated wisdom of thousands of years of a tradition. There have been a lot of smart rabbis who know more about life than I do. I learn from them.

* It provides structure. Religion dictates that you must set aside time for fun, for study, for family, for community, for work (not only do the Ten Commandments say you must rest one day a week, they command that we work six days a week).

* It provides rituals which give life rhthym and depth. A week without a Sabbath is like music without climax and poetry without meter.

Cal. Penal Code §§ 631, 632: It is a crime in California to intercept or eavesdrop upon any confidential communication, including a telephone call or wire communication, without the consent of all parties.

It is also a crime to disclose information obtained from such an interception. A first offense is punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and imprisonment for no more than one year. Subsequent offenses carry a maximum fine of $10,000 and jail sentence of up to one year.

Eavesdropping upon or recording a conversation, whether by telephone (including cordless or cellular telephone) or in person, that a person would reasonably expect to be confined to the parties present, carries the same penalty as intercepting telephone or wire communications.

Conversations occurring at any public gathering that one should expect to be overheard, including any legislative, judicial or executive proceeding open to the public, are not covered by the law.

An appellate court has ruled that using a hidden video camera violates the statute. California v. Gibbons, 215 Cal. App. 3d 1204 (1989). However, a television network that used a hidden camera to videotape a conversation that took place at a business lunch meeting on a crowded outdoor patio of a public restaurant that did not include "secret" information did not violate the Penal Code's prohibition against eavesdropping because it was not a "confidential communication." Wilkins v. NBC, Inc., 71 Cal. App. 4th 1066 (1999).

Anyone injured by a violation of the wiretapping laws can recover civil damages of $5,000 or three times actual damages, whichever is greater. Cal. Penal Code § 637.2(a). A civil action for invasion of privacy also may be brought against the person who committed the violation. Cal. Penal Code § 637.2.

That's interesting, but I'm not sure if it applies. Luke didn't "intercept" or "eavesdrop", he was a party to the conversation. I think this may only apply to third parties listening in. Where's the pornlaw dude, he'll know.

You're overlooking the key point...if Luke hadn't posted it on his site, nobody would know. Holly could have just done her thing quietly and privately, and that would be that, no-one would be any wiser as to what had happened.

Post his fucken phone number and home address.. Think about it Holly.He brought the personnal shit onto here..So what if a random guy shows up at his door late some night with a Glock 20 and a few bad intentions..?? Just sayin. It could happen to anyone.

Any time Holly has ever asked me to remove something about her from my website, I have always done so immediately. So everything that is still there about her (once she's had the chance to read it) has her tacit permission, even if she hates it. Over the years, I have written about Holly with a depth and passion and cruelty and love that I've never written about anyone. And that's because she allowed me to. No other woman would. If she abides by her latest post and I lose her as a friend, that will be my loss.

My post that attracted so much ire was inspired by Holly but was not about Holly. It was about larger ideas. If those ideas are uncomfortable and she and others want to ignore them and try to make this essay of mine about me trying to hurt her, then there's nothing I can do. I am going to publish my opinions even when they are unpopular.
Whether addiction is (best looked at) as a personal failing or as a disease is a worthy question. I, for one, am sick of lack of self-control being taken for granted as a disease.

I don't understand how people can be happy within an organized religion, conforming to a set of doctrines written thousands of years before they were born, many of which can't even be applied to life in the 21st Century.

I have to say that I pretty much agree with Luke on this. The people that post regularly on this board seem to have this bizare fan-boy slave-thing for Holly and it really is strange. This girl (and her mother, who at least has history) makes crappy porn that most of you wouldn't even wank to and yet I suppose because she is a girl who actually talks to you, you kiss her ass every chance you get. Luke is just pointing out the obvious.

It can't be explained that easily. If XPT kissed the ass of every girl on the board, there would be dozens more. The "all whores are attention whores" rule.

In fact many who have posted here have left because of abuse. Several register and post very infrequently staying below the radar. I would assume many more just lurk to keep out of the gunfire entirely.

Certainly this is her "home field", and we brook no visiting fan taunts of her. I think each of us has our own reasons. The fact that so many of us agree on Holly is remarkable. But, there is likely no one explanation.

Luke pointing out the obvious?!?
1. Making a private confidence of a friend public GOOD.
2. Bashing someone who is trying to amend her life BETTER.
3. Creating his own victimhood out of her pain BEST.

you people do realize that all responses both negative and positive are what luke is looking for. the more outrageous the topic and the bigger outcry just means more traffic towards his site and more (theoretically) money in his pockets. the man is an capitalist first and a friend second. which is the same for about 99 percent of the people you meet in this business.

---

So you're saying that by bashing the only girl who had even the slightest romantic feelings about him in the last two decades, he can drive more traffic to his website, and then extort more ad revenue from Lillian Marquez and the rabbit vibrator people? Cool.

That's funny - me being Luke Ford. I do wish I had his looks but otherwise, he strikes me as a semi-loser who won't get a real job. The fact that he is still hanging around the fringes of porn, posting his unimportant little missives, after all this time seems pretty sad. I was simply stating my opinion, as someone who has lurked around this board for at least a couple of years. I've seen you guys fawn over Holly like she has the only pussy in the world.

Remember this: Luke has actually had sex with the girl. He knows her and what she is really like. You guys know only the persona she wants you to know via this board and her posts. She may be a huge bitch or she may be the sweetest girl ever. I don't know and really don't care. I just think you guys are way overreacting to Luke's post. One dude even advocated violence against him! Lighten up, keyboard warriors.
