One of the best beer experiences in the world is the Fram-noir: 1/2 pint of Lindemann's Framboise 1/2 pint of well-poured Guinness Lightly sweet, vaguely pink head, rich, nutritious, and hugely comforting. We drank these every Sunday night at the Moon & Sixpence in Portland for years! First Class Citizen Twice Over

I don't know if this is a personal attack on me or Bill Cole. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Sure. Here's my lifestyle: I have a 7 year long monogamous, loving, committed relationship. We tried to get married to enjoy the legal benefits and responsibilities, but the government quashed that. We drink good wines and love to have people over for dinner or making music. We do sports like scuba diving, hiking, boating, and (of course) parachute-related activities. We hope to travel more this year and just enjoyed a couple of short trips during Christmas. We'd like to go back to Asia because exploring the food was so much fun last time. We have a cat who loves to be petted while she eats. That's about it. Pretty straightforward lifestyle, huh? First Class Citizen Twice Over

You have a very active imagination. Do you spend a lot of time visualizing these scenes? First Class Citizen Twice Over

It's a great story but I'd love to edit that entire article. I really wish SOMEBODY would. First Class Citizen Twice Over

But if over and over again one class of people say I'm angry but another class say I'm not, then it's pretty clear that it's not rational. It's just partisan. Those who disagree with my conclusions but don't address the content of my reasoning just LOVE to describe my personality. Then they make wild speculative claims about my motives without any evidence whatsoever. I've been angry before and I've even posted angry things, but nothing in this thread is an example of that. Wouldn't you think I'd be the first to know? Anger, no. Awe at the vitriol, bigotry, and delusions? Yes. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Again with the spontaneous claims of anger. I swear I don't understand how my dispassionate and analytical posts always become "angry" to people who disagree with their content (but not with others of course). Is this a new cliche in popular culture, perhaps a repeating theme in television shows or something? Are the thoughtful characters in sitcoms being called "angry" in recent years? That would explain this new trend here on dropzone.com. First Class Citizen Twice Over

There's no struggle unless the parent introduces it that way. Viz: "Little Billy, some men love men and some women love women." vs. "Little Billy, some dirty men do nasty things with men that good boys like you will only do with women, like God intended." First Class Citizen Twice Over

Well, it's a LITTLE more interesting than that. Cookies can do much more than count visits. * In shared-IP environments they separate one computer's website usage from another's. * They can be used to compile your path through the site. * They can correlate your entries on forms with your paths. * In coordination with other websites they can even identify you personally if you've identified yourself to those websites. * If that web of cooperating websites includes a major search engine or news site your entire list of interests, concerns, medical lookups, political searches, sexual habits, and commercial browsing can be mapped together into one personally identified data block. * For instance, if you logged in to Google's AdWords, Gmail, or anything else owned by Google, your name, address, and telephone number is linked directly to your search for Viagra (or worse). * And adbanners (or invisible web bugs) with THEIR cookies give advertisers a complete dossier of your travels through every site they touch. And that includes the search terms and sometimes the form entries you entered to get to that page. Cookies placed by a small, isolated, static website aren't all that nefarious, but groups of websites connected by a common cookie-placing entity (advertisers for instance) can gather and correlate MORE than enough information about you to be scary. That being said, I seriously doubt the HTML guy at NSA is tracking anything interesting. They've GOT to be more sophisticated than that. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Very cute tool. Were you making a point with it or just playing around randomly? First Class Citizen Twice Over

This is weak. It's like a rogue cop who regularly murders suspects receiving a reprimand for using curse words in the lunch room. First Class Citizen Twice Over

Of the people who declare they don't like something, one wonders how many have tried and how many 'just know'. First Class Citizen Twice Over

In another thread, a straight man amusingly lectured that gay men can't get sexual pleasure from anal sex because multiple neurologists and urologists had told him the prostate doesn't have the right kind of nerve endings.* This reminded me of the old widely-held opinion (among men of course) that women couldn't actually have sexual pleasure or orgasms but were only following their pre-programmed breeding instincts. Do you think that's true or not? If so, why do women keep saying they're having a good time? And if not, what do you think motivates men to keep coming up with such stories? * (One might wonder why a straight man is surveying multiple medical specialists about the pleasures of anal sex, but that's a different question.)

Edited: Ooops. I thought this might have been a sincere question, not just a chance to argue. Sorry. First Class Citizen Twice Over

There's a long history of straight men announcing 'scientific' evidence that women don't have the right nerve endings to get pleasure, can't have orgasms, and in general just don't get anything from sex. Now we're seeing an echo of the same directed against gay men. Anybody have an explanation for what drives these guys to concoct myths in which the only sexual pleasure is theirs and theirs alone? Why is it so abhorent to them to think anyone else enjoys something they can't? First Class Citizen Twice Over

Do you have to practice to be so bitter and nasty? I only ask because it comes naturally to some whereas others should be honored for achieving it through hard work. First Class Citizen Twice Over

I bet you can concoct excuses that cover ALL SORTS of Americans-in-other-countries situations. First Class Citizen Twice Over

We call them marriages here! And I'm not going to ditch "the other guy" but since the slippery slope argument leads to polygamy anyway, why should i have to? First Class Citizen Twice Over

Oh, without a doubt! Aaaaah!!! Now that I've agreed with you, I'm brilliant and good looking, right? First Class Citizen Twice Over

Wow. That opens up a whole can of worms. Are we going to trace the origins of all the sciences and discredit their results if their ancient history is tainted by ulterior motives? Grrrr! First Class Citizen Twice Over

That's a brilliant analogy. Too bad illustrating points with analogies around here is like feeding priceless paintings to a goat. First Class Citizen Twice Over
