You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
"Children of God"? is this a theology class?

I like Vortex's answer.
Also she's citing a study that has been proved wrong many times over in the last 20 years. The only link between violence and porn lasts for mere minutes after the viewing of violent porn in a few test subjects (sorry I wish I could cite my sources.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Nope. Critical thinking. WTF.

It also stated such a link between pornography and sadistic violence
What link?
I have a headache. I have to figure out Christmas dinner, and Christmas breakfast, as the FiL is coming over for it, and I need Lisa's recipe for thumbprint cookies.

Is it possible the teacher is deliberately trolling in order to inspire students to argue about the ethics of porn and how it relates to theology in the message boards?
ETA: 'cause if this is not the case and it's not too late I think you should drop the class.

Okay, so I had been thinking that the knot in my stomach was some sort of reaction to the muscle relaxant but now I'm thinking that I'm just ill.

I have no doubt she is not trolling. And I only have one more week in the class and it is already the second time I've had to take it.
I'll tell her that my all-time favorite is "Barely Legal IV" and that the anal scenes are really worth watching.

I have been struggling with a proper way to respond to this post. Obviously, these are your morals speaking. Your values. And I appreciate you stating them. However, I think that one thing we run the risk of in showing our morals for all to see is that we take the chance of offending someone.
I, for one, am very morally offended by this post. My morals state that while I, personally, might find some behaviors immoral and repugnant, I don't judge other people for them.
While our personal morals do affect our critical thinking, in order to be better critical thinkers, we can not allow them to influence us 100%. Otherwise, what's the point of thinking critically at all?
Is my response.

Fantastic Zenkitty. Congrats!
Also, Beej, good for you for quitting.
Critical thinking. WTF.
That's kind of funny, because for me the worst part of the statements are the lack of just that. I mean, with critical thinking, I would think you would need to tear apart the statement, asking about the types of porn, the context of the porn, and citations to back up her statements about its affects.
Also, perhaps she should provide some of this porn so you can evaluate it for yourself in the privacy of your own home. Although, that sounds a lot better in theory, as I'm now getting squicked at the thought of getting porn from a teacher like her.
