The AFL-CIO ? This must mean that the various prostitutes unions of Las Vegas and greater Nevada along with similar unions of sex-trade workers must have supported this effort; the Las Vegas Union of Prostitutes; SWAA (Sex Worker Activists, Allies & You; SCAPA; Sex Workers without Borders; COYOTE and GMB(Brothel Union Workers). This says a lot about supporting any and all reforming efforts of the vast amount of often contradictory and even oppressive policies directed at valid immigrants. Interesting as to speculate on reasons why the AFL-CIO affiliated prostitutes unions would support immigration reform...

From what I've seen or experienced with relatives and friends is that once everyone 'let's their hair down' it invariably becomes the free-for-all civility of the classic Hatfields and MCoys family dynamics. Visiting relatives for the holidays, don't leave your guns at home, bring 'em with you, just in case...target shooting in the ol' back yard, of course...

What is the alternative to dieting to please 'society'?
Pigging out, of course! Society is overrun by gross overweight eating machines just as this so called 'society' seems overladen with too many that look not only malnourished and underweight for their sizes. They remind me of the eternal starving peoples of so many places in the 'third' and 'fourth' world.
Find your happiness in a balance between the extremes, be it weight issues or religious /moral or even political extremes. A good life is in one's own sense of balance and harmony is reached both within and without. Your own opinions and sense of balance is all that really matters. Be free of all constraints of 'society'. Uniformity sucks big time.

why should you care, you're from another planet anyway...

But if the 'maniac' decides that he has had enough crap at home, he decides to join the hijacker...you may end up landing in a whole new destination and what if you like it there?

What about the notorious String Theory?
No, I don't mean the G string....

The UN is going to have an intervention force along the border of the eastern old Zaire??? Ha! Makes me wonder if those fools have even seen a map of how many countries border the Congo. There is only one major border crossing at Bukavu where Rwanda and Burundi meet. North of that is the Ugandan border. These areas have never been policed let alone 'controlled' by anyone except by Mobutu's old Congolese army back in the 60's. Drones are not going to be of any real use there to spot any guerrilla bands roaming around. Any intervention forces will be under constant ambush or simply ignored and the fighters go around them. The only effective fighting forces in that area has been the French, Belgian and German soldiers fighting for the old Mobutu regime that hired European soldiers off and on. Where are the UN forces coming from, Finland and Sweden, complete with skis as they did back in the 60's when fighting against Katanga... Hundreds surrendered to one or two mercenary soldiers with dozens of tribal natives armed only with spears and machetes. The Africans just laughed at the UN idiots and will do so again. The wars will continue until all the borders are redrawn to suit the tribal traditional lands, not the fools back in NY or Brussels or Paris. Mineral exploitation was the root cause of the old colonial borders, not the welfare of the natives, but no one is interested in that...

cool; I dig him!

And if punctuation is used correctly, it does help tremendously in reading / hearing how a person comes across and not misinterpret their content or the 'voice' that they may be speaking in or 'talkin' at yu' as we are not face to face in which all is rather clear. Nearly all the native speakers of English/ Americanese went to a school and supposedly learned about proper punctuation, so use it. It clarifies what you trying to communicate and how.

Eugenics by any other name...it's all biology as ideology and in the end, it doesn't seem to matter as to who/ what group is in power, the general public is always the enemy of the powerful which today may simply be labeled as the Capitalist Network, left with stark reality that it they and always has been the the ones responsible for the demise of all rights and freedoms in all countries since the fall of fascism, then finally communism. No one else to blame it on; no one else to accuse of 'subverting democracy'...None stands in the harsh light of reality and exposed for what they truly are but the Capitalist Corporation; the absolute enemy of all peoples everywhere and their corporate puppets the common enemies of humankind...

or perhaps he is still in negotiations with a publisher for his own cookbook with recipes on fixing humans like that lunatic in Germany who posted some of his recipes on line...(I wonder how many people downloaded them and perhaps tried them...were they five star or only two star recipes...

Bravo!

There is a book called EAT NAKED, so sit in the dark and eat; not hard at all, just be careful where you put the knife and fork...

What should put any of us in the mood is when our place looks like the TV show Hoarders was filmed in there; other than that, it's when I end up with aisles between stacks of books that I had out for a project and having stacks all over the floors; time to put them all back!'The only cleaning problem I have is the oven. Hate that one.

Quote:"yup I'd take a stupid happy chick. Over a sarcastic Beeatch, Any day of the week.


Maybe you can answer my question, then. What is the attraction to stupid chicks?

Or if there are women out there who go for the dumb guys, what is the attraction there?


I think it's self explanatory. A harmless simpleton is going to be less annoying and easier to get on with than someone that thinks that they are clever. There's less likely to be conflict and it will be easier to get your way with them.

Of course, that does sort of go against the idea that a good relationship is an equal partnership but how easy is it to find someone that is really your equal like that who isn't going to make you compromise and go along with things for the sake of just getting along?


Ditzyness/stupidity are not turn ons at all for me. So, I'd have to disagree that someone stupid would be less annoying and easier to get along with."


First off trying to actually find 'an equal' quality partner is like getting a jury trial by your actual peers; it's an oxymoron. Second if they do laugh at your jokes, it's cheaper than having to pay them to laugh...
Third, let's not forget that stupidity is the basic building block of the universe. It also has advantages at times for both parties to be viewed as 'stupid' because people are less suspicious of you or your partner. Besides, which quality would be better to be known by: having a hard heart or being soft in the head...
And what if your address book or phone numbers of chicks; even the other way around, is as empty as a hermit's address book and if everything is over your own head, perhaps you should go down to Jamaica and become a limbo dancer.
Man, another thing to remember, invented stupidity, which was using his intelligence. Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not so handicapped. As for a couple, you cannot make a wit out of two half wits, which for many would be of some comfort, I'm sure.
As Einstein reported said, "Only two things are infinite---the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
So let's hear it for the stupids of this world! We all need them; if not for ourselves to look good, but for our sex lives...it's far easier to have sex with a stupid person than some dumb asse smart one who wants to know why....

After having not dated for long, I think that I would need a course to be 're-trained', very much as if on a job...

There is an old saying from the 70's that if a man really wants to get inside a woman, he needs to be a dildo; that seems to be a good blurb for this movie, without seeing it....

From the top of my head: comedy, Woody Allen's Love and Death (and many others); war: Battle of Algiers (and at least a dozen more!); Adventure:Lord of War and others...one is totally impossible.

Great book! Read it twice when it first came out in "76 and have 2 copies.
If you like it, you may like Graham Hancock's "The Mars Mystery"; in fact, ANY of his books! They are all fantastic.
Hos sometime co writer, Robert Bauval has written one called "The Orion Mystery" with Adrian Gilbert; a book long overdue on these topics. I'm still waiting for a follow-up to The Sirius Mystery with the wealth of discovered ancient knowledge of Sirius.

ahhhh, champagne and reefers....nice song; nice memories, I think
