I just moved from the US to the UK, and I'm loving it so far. I think that regardless of where you're coming from or where you're going, living in another country for a significant length of time is key to helping you round yourself as a person. Different culture, different perspective...I mean...

Masturbation habits! You can train yourself through masturbation. Masturbate for an hour (a whole sixty minutes!), regularly, stopping whenever you feel like you're about to orgasm - wait it out - and continue. If you do that regularly, you'll likely find it isn't difficult to do the same...

I'm hardly educated in the complexities of this issue, one way or the other, so I'll refrain from the poll. I will say that right now some of the cheapest insurance available to me offers me almost nothing for a pretty hefty monthly fee - catastrophic insurance. It's something I can barely...

I think while this may be true, it seems like it'll be the more ***** possession cases (in the case of *****, at least) - the sort of stuff that should be on low to no priority anyway. For the bigger trafficking/dealing cases, I imagine all it would take is a phone call to a judge to have a...

I can't say I've ever been partial to any particular hair color (I think virtually all my girlfriends have asked me this same question at one point or another, but I'm pretty color blind and can't see subtle differences anyway), but I do always appreciate a change. That is to say, I'm always a...

The library here offers an enormous collection of CDs in its collection, rivaling any music shop. You can put them on hold online, have them mailed to the library nearest you, take 'em home for weeks and bring them back. Naturally making as many copies and/or ripping them to your computer as...

Has anyone happened to read Michael Crichton's Next? It's an entertaining piece of fiction, with a lot of undertones of the reality of genetic research going on. Just like this little gem, here. The general idea: companies will always try to identify one gene as a cause of certain behavior, so...

Re: Lesbians parents of 3 **** denied ****** admission rate at pool because they're n True. Also true. We'll never have true equality. We'll never have a perfect country, a perfect government, never be rid of psychopathic killers - life will never be perfect. But that doesn't mean we should...

Re: Lesbians parents of 3 **** denied ****** admission rate at pool because they're n You say this... ...but then you say this, every time: It's just a few dollars. It's just a title. It's just a front seat on the bus. Et cetera...this is what I mean by "oppose". Perhaps marginalize would...

Re: Lesbians parents of 3 **** denied ****** admission rate at pool because they're n These are good points. The ****** does have a lot of rights, including the right to complain. Isn't there a great Thomas Jefferson quote about being given just the first amendment, he'd get all the others...

What about multiple relationships? Polyamory's the direction I've been taking for a short while now, but I'm discovering it to be vastly satisfying. See The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Catherinee Liszt.

Ooops, missed that. Ah, but I see the article's already been updated with quite a bit more information since I read it. Well, there ya go.

Other than this taking place at the Holocaust Memorial Museum, is there any information in regards to the assailant being an extremist (an extremist Holocaust denier?)? The article has no information on the elderly fellow.

I'll bite on this one, Chef...because it's a valid point. I honestly don't have any problem with two consensual adults doing this, regardless of their status to each other or otherwise (except in the cases of you mentioned of individuals who've gone out and ******** the rights of others, such...

I enjoyed this article. My favorite excerpt: What?! Live and let live?! ...who does that anymore?

Heh. I noticed that last time I was there. No one over there was anti-traveling American either, though (I had every one of my drinks bought for me by total strangers when I was traveling there). I was told frequently that their idea of Americans were that 40% never leave their home state, and...

And spilling over into the same-sex marriage debates in 10...9...8... Interesting article, though.

Bwahahahaha... For what it's worth, I just use crummy old shirts that I'm never going to wear again. Throw 'em in the wash and they're good to go again. Pretty easy.

I don't know that this could be any farther away from my values, observations, thoughts or philosophies. So I will just ask: how?

A lot of tail.

Did I mention I was happy to be moving to the UK soon? Now my real question is: does the American accent work in Britain like the English accent works in the US?

Ha ha ha...nothing so literal. Just an complimentary appreciation to be sharing the same land as such a beauty. That's all. :)

I really wonder if sex education has something to do with it. I don't actually know this as fact, but from what I hear religious/conservative schools often ban teaching any kind of sex education, 'cause, you know, if **** know about condoms they'll immediately go out fucking anything with...

Just another reason I'm glad I'm moving to the UK this Fall. :)

Other than Safari, which browsers feature a "private browsing" option? That seems like one of the more ideal "porn browsing" features (in that it doesn't save any history, cookies, cache, etc of your "private browsing" session). Also handy just for using log-in sites on strangers' computers.

Has anyone by chance read Freakonomics? There's a brilliant chapter that talks about the correlation to Roe v Wade in 1973 to crime rates of the 90's. As in, the legalization of abortions was one of the biggest contributing factors to the drop in violent crime in the 90's. Bit of a twist, eh? It...

I'm usually all over this discussion, but Shayd's beat me to the point, and probably a bit more effectively, too (kudos to that!). I've always taken issue with this, as people like to put it out there as something that just is. "Marriage is what it is, and you can't change that!" That's...

Considering our population growth, converting a bunch of the youth gay would be good for everyone. It would solve employment, space and energy problems down the line!

And I very much agree. Chef is right to say that isn't how the US works, but I don't see why we can't start moving in that direction. I think it'll be healthier for us in the long run.

Chef, throughout this thread you've made a distinction between male and female breasts, as shown here. I guess that's simply something I disagree with, as they are physiologically very similar (men can grow 'em large, they can *******...et cetera). I'll just leave it at that. I find this kind...

Better late than never, but thanks for the rep! Glad you liked the post. That discussion looks to be recycling itself now...

This discussion seems to have for the most part skipped over the point... Should women have the right to go topless? I think so. Men do. Physically there isn't a whole hell of a lot of difference. And while we might think of scenarios like "What about all the poor **** at the mall? Seeing...

...neither? Insofar as I define a "slut" as someone who has a lot of sex with a variety of people, I don't see it either a good or bad thing (as long as they're smart about it). In my experience, when used as a derogatory term with the above in mind, it's because the insulter a) holds silly...

Oh, why not... April 6th, 9:53 AM (when I was born, ha ha) April 11th, 3:47 PM May 5th, 5:55 AM

I actually have a friend who I'd have the latter conversation with. We don't, though, as I only get to see her on weekends anyway and generally on those weekends I'm having sex with her.

I'll forgo commenting on the stupidity of sexual irresponsibility and chauvinism mentioned in this thread and stick to the original topic...that said: Definitely! What should you try, you ask? Well, take a look at the Annual Condom Awards. I stumbled upon the seven-time winner, Crown Skinless...

Exactly! Take a look at the film, The End of Suburbia, other peak oil literature. If only those who really needed to, such as Facetious here, were the ones driving, we'd be fine. I imagine this to be a percentage significantly less than half, but I haven't any literature for that. I **** to...

Just for the record, (and independent of anything else in this thread) the Chief Justice messed up on the Oath.

I think I heard this being debated on NPR a long time ago (like...2006? Maybe early '07?). While my first gut reaction was "Great! Maybe it'll encourage people to drive less!", a good argument was put forward that taxing on mileage instead of gas consumption penalizes people who buy hybrid and...

Honestly, I'm really happy I don't have to worry about things like this. Yes, I realize the price of my goods may go up by a few percent, but that's nothing compared to gas going up 50%-100% (hence, I'm glad I don't buy gas).

Re: You're 8x More Likely to Be ****** By a Police Officer than Die in a Terrorist At Heh. As the authors of Freakonomics said, most people are terrible with risk management. Is there a chance you'll get ****** in a terrorist ******? Sure! Is it likely? Not at all. Swimming pools **** more...

Heh heh. I guess you guys don't read Terms of Use, much? This is standard. Virtually any website that you can upload content to has these terms - Facebook, Google, hell, Couchsurfing - every website I've ever signed up to and read the terms of us for (Blogger is another...and on). That is: A)...

Ooof. This one's a doozy. And to be honest, I think this subject is at a root of many of society's ills. See http://********.de/prescott/bulletin/article.html - this is a study by a fellow who finds that sexual repression in a culture is directly related to the violent tendencies of that...

Have to agree with D-rock, here. The best way to help is world education - get people to produce less offspring. Food isn't an unlimited resource; just because there's money to buy it with doesn't mean there's enough food to buy.

...so I guess this is the closest thread to put this in... I've been reading Scott McClellan's What Happened and it's a fascinating read. It really does look personally at Bush during his time as Texas Governor and the President and paints a picture of a man who really did mean well, but...

Danner boots are still made in the U.S., at least. Most of their models, anyway - I worked at their factory here in Portland for a very brief span of time.

Is there a reason why the Prius is considered tiny, or is it just in comparison to the Hummer? The Prius is bigger than most Toyota sedans.

I just wanted to share this article involving interviews with college **** at Cairo University: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1874621,00.html

I appreciate this response (it shows thought rather than spouting some erroneous BS). To answer: "they" **** us because we've been mucking around in their business for decades. They **** us because we've had troops around their homes for also, decades (yes, there are those religious...

They did, indeed. Do you know why?
