@Nick: “It was not an observation! It was designed to make certain people feel that we are not keeping up with the competition AND YOU KNOW IT!” REALLY?!
I have no personal investment in the US porn industry and whether or not it goes down in flames will have zero effect on my life. You really do project a lot onto other people’s comments. Seriously.

@Nick: “sick and twisted”?? Really? No, I just know a bit more about human nature than you seem to. Have you not heard of something called GREED? And I was referring to the shutdown, which has since been lifted, as we all know, not to the two particular performers who have tested positive. To read your comment, one would think that HUNDREDS of performers have tested positive. YOU amaze me. Either you’re oddly naive or just live in your own little fantasy world. And I LOVE how you act as if you’re better than everyone else. I’ve seen the list of films that you’ve appeared in. You’re NOT better than any other performer.

@Sach: “I’m sure the european studios are pretty damned pleased about the current state of affairs here,”!!!!! your quote!!! How sick and twisted of you to think that there are people who are pleased about our performers coming down sick!!!!! You amaze me!!!

How many times do I have to repeat that it was an OBSERVATION?! Such as “the downtown area of this small city is going to be negatively impacted by the Walmart opening.” How is this not clear??

So you were just ‘observing’ that the european porn industry is going to make a lot of money due to an American porn shut down? What is your point, then? Seriously, please explain what you meant by that comment!!!

@Nick: I’m sorry, WHERE did I state or imply that it was a “competition”?? It was an OBSERVATION. And I’m sure the European studios are pretty damn pleased about the current state of affairs here, even if they aren’t publicly saying so. “sick twisted porn”- what this constitutes is completely a matter of personal opinion. You don’t get to judge someone who likes BDSM because it doesn’t suit your personal preferences. As for this: “IN AMERICA WE CARE MORE ABOUT OUR WORKERS SAFETY AND HEALTH THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD AND WE PUT THAT IMPORTANCE IN FRONT OF PROFITS, NOT AFTER THEM”- that is just COMPLETE BS. Do some research on labor laws and worker protections (oh, and health insurance) in other “civilized” countries compared to those in the U.S., and you’ll find the U.S. does NOT come up anywhere NEAR the top of the list re the safety and health of workers. If you honestly believe that, you need a reality check.

Oh, sach, I’m sorry,,, I didn’t realize it was a competition! So what you are saying is that we here in America should give two shits about how much money people in other countries are making by producing condomless porn? I remember hearing Ron Jeremy saying we would not be able to compete with european porn if we used condoms because THEY wouldn’t use them so they would make more money than American companies would… Is that pretty much EXACTLY what his argument was (and is)?
And now here you are to remind us all that our lack of porn output is putting us behind some crazy monetary RACE between us and them? So we should be thinking, “Oh, shit!!! Europe is winning the porn profit race!!!!! Quick everybody, make more sick twisted porn to compete before they show us who’s boss!!!!”
Let me tell you something, sach,,, IN AMERICA WE CARE MORE ABOUT OUR WORKERS SAFETY AND HEALTH THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD AND WE PUT THAT IMPORTANCE IN FRONT OF PROFITS, NOT AFTER THEM, AND WE ARE NOT IN A COMPETITION WITH EUROPE!!!
