"Towel Head"...(The Film)

[amicus]

"Lebanese-American Teen (13), on the cusp of sexual awareness", is the synopsis offered by Momax Channel; adapted from the novel by Alicia Erian:

I find this 2007 film worthy of commentary on two fronts at least, racism for one, as the words, "Towel Head", "Camel Jockey", and "Sand Nigger", are included in the dialog. It involves Rednecks, African Americans and Arabs and is somewhat of a morality play equal to the dominant opinion on this forum that 'racism' is ugly and beneath them.

Secondly, the young Lebanese girl is very attractive and the sexual scenes were written and performed well without being explicit.

Thus, two taboo topics on this forum, the existence of racism and sex under age 18, can be viewed on Satellite Television on the regular movie channels, not the X rated ones.

Some of us have been fortunate to have witnessed and participated in the 'Sexual Revolution', that some say started in the 1950's, and all still wonder where it is going and why.

Not discussing it or writing of it does nothing to enlighten anyone.

Having the discussion 'censored' or 'moderated', is, in a currently popular reference, 'stupidity'.

What's stopping anyone from posting about underage sex and racism?

Regarding underage sex, the only restriction on this site is AFAIK in regards to the catalog of erotic stories, in which all participants must be over 18. Because the site owners say so. End of story.

But here on the boards? I and many others have in discussions on this forum posted about sexual experiences from our teenage years, about teenage pregnancies (which I assume means the teenagers boinked at one point), and other similar topics, without any reprecussions, and I don't know anyone who wants to stifle talk about such things. The difference is, it's not erotica, it's discussion.

Same thing with racism. It's not a topic that's off the table to talk about. It might cause a bit of a ruckus to promote it though.

I read a William Styron story the other day, SHADRACK is the title. It includes racism and underage sex. In fact, one of the girls is twelve. The Old Hens and Usual Suspects use these topics as excuses to show their asses, so you cant discuss them, even. I posted a snippet of two kids kissing and heard about it.

Liar, in your self confessed, 'fence sitting' stature on all issues, you completely or purposely miss the point, which JBJ kindly pointed out.

First off, we are all, 'racists' at heart and by nature. I personally observed baby chicks that are hatched even slightly different than their peers, will be pecked to death unless separated from the flock.

All around the world, through all of history, including this time we live in, there are thousands of racial and ethnic and religious groups that hate each other openly; nature functions to 'weed out' the different, unless they exhibit superior qualities of survival and procreaton.

JBJ, this forum has far too long been controlled by the far left 'deviant', pornographic element in our society and on this board. They are the miniscule minority, yet, the 'squeaky wheel' often receives the most attention. I take the name of the site to mean what it says, Literotica....Literary Erotica, not hard core Porn, which I think should have its' own separate place to enjoy.

In some parts of the world, marriage still takes place at age 12 and women are under absolute control all their lives. Taking note of the chaos created in society by the emancipation of the females in our midst, should give one pause to consider the value of feminine equality in the larger sense.

By the way, I did not participate in your poll, you will stay, if only cuz you know I depend on you to be a rational voice amidst the clamour of the far left.

There are web sites that one can utilize to view various films and documentaries at no cost. I think I provided those in another thread but for the moment the names are absent in my memory...perhaps I will look for them again or others may do so.

Thank you for the comment and you too Liar, even though we seem always to be a loggerheads....
