Firstly, the hell with the damned trees. That's what recycled paper is for - so that the paper we use isn't wasted.

And I have to say that I am EXTREMELY sceptical about dictionary definitions. Bear this in mind - dictionaries are for the stupid. That doesn't mean that the clever don't always have to refer to it; sometimes they do, but dictionaries tend to oversimplify for the stupid. I mean, according to most dictionaries refer to the word 'sanguine' as 'cheerful, optimistic', but only one I know of adds in that it can also refer to a blood red originating from the word 'sang'. To quote the princeton.net dictionary, Existentialism is "a 20th-century philosophical movement chiefly in Europe; assumes that people are entirely free and thus responsible for what they make of themselves". I don't even want to quote the wikipedia.org version - not enough space.

With regards to porn vs. erotica, once again comparing WordNet from Princeton.net and Wikipedia, both erotica and porn would be, by WordNet's definition, "creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire" as compared to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography (check it out yourselves) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotica (ditto).

And while we're all looking at wiki, might I use some of their points to substantiate mine - that erotica and porn are, indeed separate.

Remember my point about how erotica affects the brain first and porn the loins? According to the wiki definition or both, "while pornography popularly focuses on unadorned and unemotional lusts and the explicit depiction of sexual acts, erotica tends to define material with a higher emotional content, the development of place, character and story line, or of an overall artistic theme." So yay, I'm right. And also, to do with the subjectivity of definitions (remember my blurry lines and grey areas?) is another wikipedia quote:"the definition of pornography is as much (or more) to do with the viewer's motive and response, as with the actual material, content or creator's intention."

I apologize for the heavy quotation, but I'm really very sleepy. Shall say more when I'm more awake. Cheerio...
