Various celebrities went to the Playboy club / parties. Various celebrities started their careers in Playboy too: not just the models but the authors and musicians. I still don't understand why

I don't even like porn.

Porn is one extreme, burkhas are another extreme.

What I don't get is why people say Playboy is fine because the Playboy website and TV channel do show porn. I did this case study 9 years ago but back then Playboy owned Spice Network and Club Jenna.

There's also a Playboy Plus I believe.
There are all sorts of "porn". So calling porn in general an extreme appears to be incorrect. Technically Playboy is softcore pornography. Almost exclusively female. with an occasional appearance of a dressed man. Very few of a naked man. Almost nonexistent displays of male genitalia and a for all practical purposes total absence of a man in an aroused state.

So you admit you are cyber stalking me and only came onto this thread to pick an argument with me ?

Nope, are you trying to insult me again? Do i report it? I came on this thread in response to the OP and the hypocrisy implied, post no 3, you even replied to it mocking my dyslexia.

The thread was about Hefner, you seem to have derailed you own thread by bringing in british politicians and cheating.

Once Hef had a name for himself he could see the benefit of finding young talent and fostering it. That helped him too It was not purely (OMG brainfart)

I thought you had a thing about living on the proceeds of women selling thrir bodies or is it only left wingers that you complain about?

I call intercourse and m*sterb*tion pornography. Unfortunately Playboy's channel and website have that even if the magazine doesn't

Since everyone does it and almost everyone watches it I would not call that "extreme" either. That is just life.

EDIT: By the way, the censorbot should not care about masturbation. Even it does that sometimes.

Then why don't Cooper and Marston Hefner like Trump ?

Another thing: it's OK for Hef to have multiple girlfriends but when the Saudi Kings have multiple wives it's called 'oppression' just because they're Muslim ? Did the Hindu Kings not have multiple wives too?

Labour (Britain's left wing party) had a budget surplus in 2001 and turned it into a deficit during an economic boom. Even bigger deficit by the time the 2009 recession came.

It's only because of the Tories the deficit was decreasing because they reigned in the spending.

John Major and the Labour Party both considered my family 'rich' and we had to pay tax on both our business and personal income; on top of that there's inheritance tax.

It was better during the Thatcher years

Ok...but extrapolating that out as a coherent statement globally about conservative vs liberal budget policy is a fair stretch, even assuming your commentary on UK party politics is accurate.

It would be better if all paid their share of taxes, and those tax monies were used judiciously.

I'm wrongly labelled as 'right' anyway because I support the US Democrats and it was the Democrats who paid off the deficits (Obama reduced the deficits while Clinton gave America a surplus).

I'm more of a centrist

Me too. But I don't think I've ever labelled you. I was just having trouble working out what your post meant.

It's "oppression" because he's an authoritarian ruler who brutalizes his own people, and sits at the head of a regime where the torture, imprisonment or political murder of political dissidents and people outside the mainstream are commonplace.

Don't take this as an attack, but... do you ever read Wikipedia articles, magazines, or even the news? I ask because some of your questions seem to imply a total ignorance of current international affairs, if they're meant to be genuine. It seems strange to me how somebody who is such a regular fixture on these discussion forums would manage to completely avoid so many potential sources of information on the Internet.

OK. So what about Hef's sons disliking Trump ?

Exactly. It's OK for JFK , Bill Clinton and Hef but if Trump does it he's seen as crass and vulgar.
JFK and Clinton were widely criticized for being philanderers, and Clinton faced an impeachment procedure for lying over having sex with his intern.
