You've written some of the most thought provoking posts this month! <BR/>I do agree with Crum that lust has been twisted to be a marketing ploy, rather than, well, lust. When ads encourage lusting after a car, then lust has lost it's intense meaning. I'd also like to hear more of your thoughts on this topic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948070944762476183.post-89435099165386003902008-12-01T11:10:00.000-05:002008-12-01T11:10:00.000-05:00Hello there, my friend.

I wanted to say that I'm so very impressed with all of your November posts - the focus on sins and virtues was good. Nicely done. Hope you are well!<BR/><BR/>SUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613547522539981820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948070944762476183.post-69716878002777301372008-12-01T06:48:00.000-05:002008-12-01T06:48:00.000-05:00If you aren't satisfied, that is all that matters ...If you aren't satisfied, that is all that matters really. But I am of similar mind as Bull and Spot of T - not a pathetic whimper. Good job. All month - good posts. And that is so very tough to do. For me anyway.<BR/><BR/>I do think though that lust in our society has transcended the traditional meaning. Lust seems to be manipulated into everything by marketers intent on seperating us from our money.<BR/><BR/>I would like to see you post like this in the future. I know it's tough sometimes. But your blog is one I always enjoy. Just me being selfish I guess. I don't care what a pain in the ass it might be for you, I want what I want. <BR/><BR/>Geez, how many of the big sins did I just present there I wonder?MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948070944762476183.post-86909597174506493472008-12-01T02:47:00.000-05:002008-12-01T02:47:00.000-05:00A pathetic whimper?

Congrats on NaBloPoMo! I have enjoyed coming over here in November and will continue to do so from now. It's been a real pleasure reading your posts.A Spot of Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09043375831501269374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6948070944762476183.post-69986835876058112402008-11-30T21:37:00.000-05:002008-11-30T21:37:00.000-05:00Pathetic whimper?

It's better than whatever I'm going to finish off with.<BR/><BR/>First, thanks for all the interesting and thought-provoking words this month. Although NaBloPoMo has helped me loosen up my mind and get words from brain to keyboard more quickly, you show me that I still have a way to go. Great writing, really. <BR/><BR/>Second, I think you hit the nail on the head as far as lust is concerned. What gets me about lust is the strange dichotomy with which this country approaches it. You've got to be 18 to look at a porno mag, rent a movie, go to a strip club (assuming no alcohol is served), etc etc - we put age restrictions in place to make sure young people aren't exposed to sexually explicit material, because it would be bad for them. But we have no problem prematurely "sexualizing" our youth with clothes, toys, TV shows, magazines, etc etc.Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337084304437634522noreply@blogger.com
