The last option. I donīt trust it in most circumstances, almost in all of them.

An elected government? A junta/military coup? A democratic one? A fascist one? A socialist one? Monarchy? Republic? Left wing? Right wing? Conservative? Progressive? Reactionary? Oligarchic? Moderate?

Exemple: in France, the President and his government are from the republican conservative right. But I voted for the left party candidates. So, can I trust the government of my country?
Moreover, at least, I can say I had many choices, not like people living under dictatorships.

This question is too much... global and "ideal".

Thanks for the info.  At this rate, I can probably finish my full-scale replica of your vagina based on the information I've garnered.


Open vagina - insert head.











Sorry, could not resist - it's a quote from Denis Leary's book.LOL

I trust them to erode liberty, abuse power, and fight endless wars.

Government is only as good as the people in it, so this question is impossible to answer.

if you ask nicely I might even send you a photo Wink
...  a 42 yo woman sending "porn" to a 15 yo male...  regardless of sexual orientation that is simply wrong.

That's not porn, it's art. ;-)

Good people easily abuse power when they get it so this statement fails. Again, itīs not about the players but about the game.

Why would somebody trust the people making a wealthy living off of ruining their lives?  

My distrust of the government seems to become more justifiable every time they make a move.

 I agree with Henry (for once) The millions of good people who ever attained power and behaved responsibly thereafter all have at least one thing in common. No-one's ever heard of them and no-one writes about them. Taking your argument to its logical conclusion: Person + Power = Evil Person (jeez)Confused

OK, we need to get this thread back on track and discuss clitorises.  What would make a pic porn?  Being in a state of arousal? LOL

I don't think that's relevant from a porn vs. non porn standpoint.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

a) No, I don't.
b) I'm sure there are plenty of tasteful pics of pierced vaginas.

I trust government to treat the world like a vagina and vigorously f**k it. 

The last option.

The people in power means little.
