The worst name I've come across is Dick Sweat. The congressman from New Hampshire. Then again you know he's got the voting for the hell of it vote locked. Maybe he's tactically clever in keeping the name. I don't know. But it's still a questionable thing to name a child. He must have had a serious amount of mocking growing up.

I wish that the other people on this website who agree with me would come in and comment instead of making private comments on my profile. That would be really nice.

Now that is a shame. If you are getting those then it is a shame that there are others on your side of the fence who don't have the conviction to stand out and say so.

That's a bit sad.

I have mentioned quite a lot on this site about my wonderings and such about porn, myself and my wife have discussed it quite a lot. We use it on occasion together, and find it to be great, although the actual number of films that are good to watch with a partner are severely limited.

There seems to be a seriously disturbing trend in degradation of women in porn these days which I do find disturbing. The prevalence of forcible deep throating, gagging, general treating women like objects is disgusting and absolutely wrong and gives men the wrong idea of how to treat a woman. And I for one wish it would just go away as a trend.

AND

I know that plenty of women who are in porn are not having a good time and are emotionally and physically screwed up. You only need to watch the movies The Girl Next Door (not the mainstream comedy, another one), or Sex, the Annabel Chong Story to see some people who have not been done well out of porn.

BUT

You can find terrible mainstream films, and actors and actresses who have been done very badly by in mainstream films too... does that mean I think they entire mainstream film business is evil and should be done away with? No.

And neither do I think that of the porn industry. There are some fantastic adult movies that are explicit and erotic and show respect to women and which can be wonderful to watch with a partner. There is no way in hell the entire genre should be gotten rid of, or considered evil just because there is bad in it.

You start getting on a really slippery slope if you do that anyway:
Video of people having sex - No
Photos of people having sex - No
Video of a woman naked - No.. oh, wait, there are plenty of wonderful 'mainstream' films with a naked woman or two in it, including ones I'm sure you like pinky... so... what criteria do you make for when it's art vs porn
Photos of a woman naked - No/Yes same deal

Video of a woman clothed but being erotic - ?
Video of a woman clothed by having sex with a man/woman - ?

I mean really, where are your lines drawn, and why are your lines right?

Personally, I think that if everyone is consenting and of age then almost anything goes... sometimes that line of 'consent' is nastily blurred thanks to desperate women and horrible men... but if two people are happy to be having sex, and happy to have people watching them have sex and can make a living from it... good on them.

I mean, there are actual couples who do films just with each other... so they are in a loving realationship, not cheating on each other, but just like having others watch, and you think that's wrong too?

In a nutshell:

Yes, porn CAN be horrible, degrading, addicting stuff
BUT
Porn can be wonderfully erotic entertainment for one or more parties
AND
Sex itself can be 'addictive', and I think I'd much rather have single guys get rid of their urges with a bit of porn rather than seeking out women to do so with, perhaps against their will.

More proof that those living in New Hampshire as part of the "free state project" are full of shit.

He's 18, an adult.
But I hope more suburban teens are held accountable for stealing, shoplifting, illegal drinking, and smoking weed. Then they won't grow up with a big sense of entitlement and impunity from the law.

What are you stupid? Where did it say he was drinking or smoking weed? Remind me never to come to your house for bible study, you're a fucking buzz kill.

WHAT?! Do my lying eyes deceive me?! Did rougy just say these are matters that should be handled from a self-governing community? How Libertarian that was of you!


There was a movement to establish a Libertarian enclave in New Hampshire, I think, many years ago. Is that still active?

Anyway, I hope it happens. I honest to God hope it happens, and I want as many Libertarians to move there and start living according to the code of their political views.

And I predict that in a very, very short period of time the place will be nothing more than a petulant grove of warring wasp nests, each wanting what's only best for them.

Changing the world with cynicism and bitterness... one post at a time...
I'm not cynical or bitter, nor am I trying to change the world; I'm making a pointed political criticism. If you are going to vote for Obama...go into it with the truth, don't play pretend and make believe that you are making "positive change". If you favor socialism, fine. But admit it. Stop trying to make your sh t sandwich look appetizing by putting garnishes on it--accept it for what it is.
"Socialism you can believe in"
And more importantly, stop trying to sell your sh t sandwich as a non-sh t sandwich.


Ayn Rand was a Nazi-fucking whore.

A shit sandwich is what we've gotten from conservative values being dominant in this country for 30 years.

Only someone who's lost their objectivity says the problem is that we haven't yet gone right enough.

Back to Rand though -- she got to experience the horrors of Communist Russia. I don't really blame her for deciding, thenceforth, that anything even slightly like Russia was evil.

Problem is, she had a psychological imbalance on the topic of government, pure and simple.

I could forgive it if it weren't for all the fuckwads like you who felt inspired by her delusions.

From your perspective, you've already lost this election. Both candidates are raving socialists by your definition, in the same sense that New Hampshire is a "southern" state to Sarah Palin.

However, no one new has taken office yet, Bush is still President, and we can both agree that he's a big fat shit sandwich. Start the grieving process now, and take a taste of the new sandwich you're about to be offered. If you don't like it, you can in fact exercise your freedom and leave this country for a better one, if you can find one.

If you don't like it, and choose to keep living here in the heartland of socialism, at least stop trying to spread your misery over the fact that you can't seem to win people over to your way of thinking.

fuck, i know new hampshire is in the north east USA, and i live in lithuania, which is NEAR RUSSIA.

Vote for me!!!!11!!1

I think what's most revealing here is that she thinks she can just finesse it, "i'll just keep on a talkin' and people won't notice". Yeah, that's exactly the kind of person you want running the country.

I didn't understand this either. She was in New Hampshire, but New Hampshire is almost at the North-Eastern extreme of the US. She says she's glad to be here in the 'great North-West'.

So...
Where was she really?
The suspense is killing me.


She was in Laconia, New Hampshire (thanks Huffington Post)

I didn't realize they had a state-by-state prediction market.
If someone wanted to gamble on this election (and I'm getting sorely tempted to), I'd say buy stock in Virginia -- Obama is more likely to win that than Nevada, IMO.
====================================================
I'd say buy stock in Diebold or ES&S ftw!:

... there was also an amazing newscast report video that showed the new electronic voting machines in California were decertified by some officials. This video has been stripped off of youtube several months and I haven't been able to find it since.

I did find this interesting article about a voting fraud investigator that found out "too much"...

Agree on Bob Barr and "The Body". I thought Ron Paul's bit was pretty good too... And I chuckled at Ron Reagan Jr.'s rule.

Newsflash for Arlen Specter: The RNC does not count all of its delegates. Specifically, Wyoming, New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina, and Florida were only allowed half of their delegation, as per RNC rules.
