Get used to it.... Handle it.

It's interesting that people say things like "get used to it," or "handle it," when they don't have any facts to back up their proclamations. As if those phrases can somehow force us to accept what you're saying.

Just an observation, but it's also interesting that those terms tend to show up most from the fingers of those who are busily defending pornography and denouncing those "church women" who are against it.

Sounds like a little kid who threatens to do something stupid, "and you can't stop me." About on a par with those who can equate pornography with adult behavior.

No facts?! Just how many dual definition words and phrases do I have to list before you'll accept that this stuff happens and it has nothing to do with porno, it's just how humanbeings abuse language? Here's a quick list off the top of my head:
mouse
nut
canine
train
plane (unfortunately not automobile)
CD
Notice all of those words have at least 2 100% clean meanings (some might also have smutty meanings). That's what people do, we seem to have an easier time learning multiple uses for a word than learning more words. Pick any word you want and plug it into dictionary.com, most will have multiple meanings, some of those meaning will be associated with behavior you don't like. That's how it is. And if you can't handle it I'd recommend the cave life.
