Really. If you don't understand why this is the case you should stop telling yourself that you are a competent judge of human behavior. You don't know shit about any of these girls, and the fact that you think you are in a position to judge their family situation based on the fact that you've seen their nipples is beyond just ridiculous, it's fucking arrogant and ridiculous.

This also extends beyond the whole "porn" issue, as well. My own daughter, who was not lacking for parental guidance and support, is making some incredibly poor life decisions. She is going against virtually everything that I, and the rest of her family, value and have taught her. I have concluded that she will have to hit rock bottom before she understands. And while it's a painfully hard thing, for the parent of an adult child, to sit back and watch as his child spirals in...I cannot, and will not support her bad decisions. All I can do is to stand by to assist in helping to clean up, and hopefully recover, when she finally crashes and burns.

Healthy trees can also bear the occasional bitter fruit.
