Okay, not that this is the type of a girl i’d want a relationship with… but I found this picture browsing through Facebook and it really made me feel bad… then I saw the comments.
HAHAHAHAHA Mims his foot I can’t stop laughing thinking about your face when you saw this picture hahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAH LOOKS LIKE HE’S DOING THE CUPID SHUFFLE OR THE BUNNY HOP!!!HAHAHAHAHA..THAT’S FUNNY RIGHT THERE, I DON’T CARE WHO YA ARE!!
The women in the picture looks like she’s being double penetrated on the dance floor, and this was posted on a very public website, and all anyone can comment on is the odd angle of the man in the pictures foot…
WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?
[ed. Watch it: d.o]
I look them up and all the people in the photo and making the comments are identified as being “Christian” and “Conserative” … :rolleyes:
Chill. It’s just a picture. Even the comments aren’t really that bad.
I mean, no reason to get worked up over a picture of some stranger on the internet - unless the girl is your girlfriend or sister or something.
She’s not… right?
Nope, unrelated. One of the girls who left a comment recently added me as a friend, so I was looking through her pictures because I had no idea who she was, that’s when I found this.
It’s just the principle of the matter. It reminds of Rand’s “moral blank check” concept.
Well, I also have to add that the guys in the picture were talking about how dancing with them is the “hilight of dat bitchs life” (spelling errors intact). It’s depressing because there are tons of pictures of these despicable bozos with tons of different girls.
I don’t know what’s worse, that guys like this exist or that women find them attractive. <_<

Not only do they exist, there are millions of guys like that out there. Go to any frat party and you will find dozens. If anything though their only fault as far as we can tell from the picture is that they have a crass sense of humor. I’m not sure if this really qualifies as a moral issue.
Besides, I don’t know if many girls think that that sort of behavior is attractive. Certainly no girls I know. But different strokes for different folks I guess.

Personally, I’ve never been attracted to those types of guys. I want to be respected and the bottom line of that photo is that the woman is not commanding respect. Drunk guys will try to get away with just about anything women will let them get away with, so in my opinion, the woman is the main problem in the photo. (Or maybe I’m just being hard on her because I’m a woman?)
I don’t suppose the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol has anything to do with it…
That was my next though…everyone has a drink in their hand. It could also be that these three are close friends who are simply drunk and playing around. If these people haven’t known each other very long, then my previous comment about respecting yourself and commanding it from others applies.

I agree. My friends and I joke around about this kind of stuff but when it comes to relationships or sexual enconters, i don’t know of anyone who has behaved immorally.
I don’t think that most men (and women) are like that.
The ones that are in charge of the culture are. Such behavior operates unopposed and as a matter of “boys will be boys” course today. If a majority of people are not like that, then they are certainly a very silent majority, and the people that are are a very vocal minority.
With employers becoming more and more interested in the social lives of their potential candidates, my concern over this sort of image isn’t so much the behavior depicted, but that the subject actually chose to publish it on the Internets where anyone can see it. Or in the case of facebook, anyone with a small amount of fiddling. I admit to using facebook, almost exclusively to communicate with others in my law school class. I only have one, professional portrait (to which I bought the rights). I have seen some highly inappropriate and potentially career-damaging (if not ending) images of my classmates on there. If you want to be a lawyer, don’t put pictures of yourself doing bong hits and Jell-O™ shots off other people’s body parts while miming sexual acts with them. It’s tacky and unwise. When I first started classes, I was astounded by the extraordinary penetration many (a majority of?) my classmates allowed on facebook. I thought it was an age thing (most of them are 2 years younger than I am), but now I think it’s a philosophy thing. I think they’ve been so indoctrinated with socialist ethics and collectivist epistemology that they cannot function without sharing every minor detail of their lives with other people. Group approval as source of self-esteem. That’s what scares me about photos like this.
I saw a PSA once on TV (by the Ad Council, for whom I rarely have the slightest respect) about posting pictures on the Internets. For some reason, I only saw it in Spanish, but I was able to track down the English version on YouTube (for easy viewing) and on the campaign’s website (as a QuickTime movie). The PSA is designed to cut down on Internet-related sex crimes, so it doesn’t mention the impact posting such things might have on your career. It is ineffectual, because the kids watching this sort of thing want the perverse popularity that comes from posting this sort of thing. But they do make the point that if you put it on the Internets, anyone can see it.

…And people wonder why I post anonymously. Not to compare radical philosophical advocacy to drunken hedonism, but it can be just as damaging as far as many employers are concerned.

An important element is the nihilism. The group approval is approval of how value-less one can depict oneself. It’s a form of insisting that one is not good (i.e., not too good for the group).

This is from the girl who posted the photo, commented on it, and is dating the guy on the left in the picture who is sticking some other girls head in his crotch…

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Psalm 34:8
It’s a “Bible Quote of the Day” on Facebook.
Here’s here “Interests”
God, my family, my dogs Lucky and Jackson, church, shopping, concerts, road trips, working out/running, sports, and traveling!
and favorite books…
The BIBLE, The Prayer of Jabez, & True Believer
My point is… I think Christianity PLUS collectivism/nihilism… are whats to blame. It’s all about Christianity… it’s all about looking cool and trendy to other people and an irrational drive to avoid the moral judgement of other people.

I’m a woman too-- nobody in this picture is respecting him or herself. Why cut the men any slack? “Drunk guys” who act like scumbags make me just as sick as the drunk sluts who dig them. To each his own (and you reap what you sow!) but how any Objectivist could think this passes for a “good time” is beyond me. Where’s the fun in getting shit-faced and acting like a monkey?
Not me. Its just reason #3256 why I stopped consuming alcohol many years ago. Don’t let their foolish pursuits taint your rational pursuits. :lol:
With my son heading off to college in less than a month, I’m think that honesty and example setting (on both parents part) will mean he won’t be one of the guys in some other picture like this next month, next year, etc.

I agree with you. I certainly didn’t mean to imply that I was letting the men off the hook. I just know what my mother taught me when I started dating, so I can speak for the woman’s problems. I’m no dude, so I’ll let one of them speak for the male behavior. :lol:
