  1. Interesting . ( I too am busy now but will return here later ) Philamon is an interesting phenomena ... a few others have experienced similar. I have been reading 'South', the epic story of Shackleton's last Antarctic trip ... what an epic and what a magnificent and arduous 'rescue mission he went on to save his men . I just finished the part where he made it , with two others to the whaling station on South Georgia Island , while crossing the island - an Antarctic wilderness , he comments on the 'the other' , a presence that he and the others noted . He was a pretty straight up guy and said it was an unusual claim but so strong and real and noticed by them that he thought to inclide the record of it in his diary . he called it 'providence' . At times it seemed impossible that they would survive , yet time and time again, they did .
  2. Masterful use of language as well ... apparently you have the powers of a lettuce
  3. ...... just disable the comments part
  4. You can and that is exactly what a PPJ is for ! This part of the forum is about discussion, and that means answering questions and giving feedback on what you write and what others ask you about . Or go make a youtube, and say whatever you want .
  5. Told ya have dominance and then force them to conquer your dominance . Maybe its an SM session ?
  6. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    because one means a favour or advantage granted in return for something and the other means swapping a small bird for bad quality goods .
  7. Are your posts 'good' ? good /ɡʊd/ adjective 1. to be desired or approved of. 2. having the required qualities; of a high standard We are still waiting to hear why 'white ' is the " highest form of an ideal " . ? No answer seems to indicate there is no known reason , known by you . So with no answer it must be assumed it is yet another racial judgement that has roots that are established so deep in the psyche that their origins are unknown .
  8. A perp , eh ? No ... well, not here anyway
  9. Old salt mines

    The last few are Salina Turda in Transylvania . The strange architecture is because everything has to be made of spruce wood or it will corrode or decompose . They have a salt 'sand pit' for the kids to encourage them being immersed in it , supposedly its healthy . I doubt many bugs could live down there , maybe the air purges your lungs of any unknown inhabitants ? But then again, other conditions may be irritated by the salt particles ; " Modern dry salt therapy can be traced back to the mid-1800s, when a physician in Poland observed that miners who worked in salt caves didn’t get the lung diseases common in other miners. Later, during World War II, a German physician found that people who hid in salt mines that were used as bomb shelters curiously had improvements in respiratory conditions. According to a Senior Scientific Advisor to the American Lung Association, perhaps the inhaled salt could have some benefit by thinning mucus in the airway making it easier to cough up. Among some other ideas is that the salt reduces inflammation and kills microbes in the lungs, thereby reducing the risk of infections. Also, salt rooms aren’t likely to contain allergy-provoking substances, so sitting in one may at least temporarily relieve symptoms in some people. ADVERTISEMENT A review paper published in 2014 looked at the effect of salt therapy on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Of the 151 articles gathered, only four were of high enough quality to be evaluated, and of them, only one was a randomized controlled trial. The researchers concluded that there wasn’t enough good evidence to recommend salt therapy for COPD. And a 2014 study from Iran found no pulmonary benefits from halotherapy in patients with a chronic inflammatory condition of the bronchi." https://www.berkeleywellness.com/self-care/preventive-care/article/what-salt-therapy In a 2007 studyTrusted Source, people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) had fewer symptoms and improved quality of life after halotherapy. Still, the Lung Institute doesn’t recommend it because medical guidelines haven’t been established. According to a 2014 review, most studies on halotherapy for COPD are flawed. According to a 2013 studyTrusted Source, halotherapy didn’t improve the outcome of lung function tests or quality of life in people with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. This is a condition that makes it hard to clear mucus from the lungs. Halotherapy triggers anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic responses in people with bronchial asthma or chronic bronchitis, according to 2014 researchTrusted Source. https://www.healthline.com/health/halotherapy#research
  10. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    The Eric Cartman piggy immunisation rodeo . I saw it last night ... man, I havent laughed so long in a while . https://www.comedycentral.co.uk/video/x5azzy/south-park-the-immunisation-rodeo
  11. ... and the fresh open air of the Bulgarian mountains might do you some good after that depressing sounding apartment with worn out old mattress and tattered psuedo-iconic magazine cut-outs pasted to the walls that you appear to be trapped inside of . .
  12. Yeah, but your simple point was made amidst a quagmire of ikky stuff . Yes, morals do change over time . It wasnt until the 1960s that the law in Queensland changed , it used to be that the penalty for consensual sex between men had a max 14 year jail penalty but non consensual sex ( ie. rape) between man and woman was 7 years penalty Twice the penalty for being gay as a rapist ! In more modern times, I think your point might be better demonstrated in the area of 'mental health' , ie. your example of self harm . When and at what level do we non - consensually , interfere, restrict, incarcerate people we consider 'mentally unstable ' ? A hundred years ago (and more recently) thats how we disposed of the troublesome , especially women. Now its more directed towards if people are 'harmed' by this behaviour or not . But then the policies changed , these people needed to be 'out in the community ' more and with that change we saw more self harm and more harm to others done .
  13. Or move your self to Bulgaria ... plenty of other 'White Brothers' there .
  14. ... and the drivel continues .
  15. Dont bother .... he doesnt know what he is talking about , its just typed out 'spiritual' slush , and he also has trouble with dialogue , comprehension and sentence construction.
  16. Think of your grandmother ? Reminds me of a funny Italian movie I saw once ; scene , a guy is complaining to his wife ; (to be read in broad Italian accent ) " Is a--not a premature ejaculation ... today is a busy world , time is a-money, I am a busy man ... I dont have a-the time to be ......
  17. That only becasue you knew about it ... for God' sake man ... tell your partner to be a LOT more sneaky and undercover about such things . - I remember talking to a male friend at a party , we where discussion about how his honesty got him into trouble with his girl friend and a woman was nearby, 'audio spying' on our conversation. She walked off past us and in passing smirked and said " Goodness me boys .... haven't you learnt yet not to tell your girl friends the truth ! ? " .... and that woman was my girl friend ! ... oh dear !
  18. I want to add more to this . Consensual , for a start ! -------- AND 'Consenting and between adults ' . Free in that it should be considered an equal exchange , not that one has to 'pay something' (in money, kind, opinion or reputation ). I'll go further on that ; Due to 'certain conditioning' some people think that if 'the woman gives the man sex, she gets something back in return .... well, they BOTH gave each other something , so I never understood that 'payment in kind' thing. And why should someone suffer and 'pay for it' with their reputation afterwards ? Thats rather juvenile isnt it ? A friend from OS now living here said he doesnt understand Australian women ; " At home, men and women are equal, we train and fight together in the same army, we live and work together, we go out together as friends and each pays for themselves . If someone wants more, they politely ask about it, you either get a no, and carry on as usual , or you might get a yes and then you both have fun, maybe short term or leads to a relationship. But here, I cant ask about it, I have to play this game first, treat the woman different, and play this game that I never know the outcome of until the last minute . I tried asking a girl I went out with if she would like to have sex with me and she acted shocked and I found later she tld her friends , now they think I am some type of stalker or sex pervert, whats going on here with that ? " So; free of hang ups , social judgments and more available for a healthy psychology The early Reich writings are relevant here . In 1928, Reich joined the Austrian Communist Party, founded the Socialist Society for Sex Consultation and travelled about in a van serving as a mobile sex clinic for the working classes. He hailed sexual liberation as an all-vanquishing tactic against totalitarianism. The masses submitted to political and economic oppression, he said, because they were sexually repressed – mainly by authoritarian fathers curbing the sexuality of wives and children. Apparently this clinic, with active 'sex workers' visited factories , it was popular with the authorities as sick leave went down and production up . " Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism, out November 20. In it, she argues that capitalism is based on exploitation, and women disproportionately suffer under it; this suffering extends to their sex lives. Because women’s labor is systematically undervalued and frequently underpaid, their survival tends to be dependent on men. Thus, women’s sexuality becomes a commodity under capitalism. This isn’t an explicit exchange, though, but rather a “set of shifting social expectations,” as Ghodsee puts it, in which women can make certain demands (emotional or financial support, for example) in exchange for access to their sexuality, usually within the confines of monogamy or marriage. Capitalism has fundamentally shaped and warped the ways we relate to each other, sexually and otherwise, she claims, leading us to view intimacy and love as things that only exist in finite quantities, and that are only worth investing in worthy relationships. " Ghodsee’s book offers an alternative to this model, looking back at the state-socialist regimes in the 20th century, under which the state liberalized divorce laws, legalized abortion, invested in collective laundries and nurseries, and enabled women to attain more economic freedom — and in turn, better sex. “When women enjoy their own sources of income, and the state guarantees social security in old age, illness, and disability, women have no economic reason to stay in abusive, unfulfilling, or otherwise unhealthy relationships,” she writes. " and just more generally , free, relaxed about and unpossessed by sex . I liked this recent example ; A friend came around for a visit and she ' A grader is redoing my driveway, I went out this morning, cant get back in to later today, can I hang out here for a while ? " " Sure. " Its a cold day, grey and overcast . " Do you want some tea ? " After a bit she ; " So, what do you do around here to pass the time ? .... Do you want to have sex ..... or something ? " "Oooo ... yeah, we could do that . " So we did . Afterwards , carry on as normal .... no judgments or owing anyone anything , and more importantly .... free of 'stuff' that can arise later . So yeah , I am a big proponent of 'free sex' , I think the control and regulation of and obsession by sex is a way of controlling and suppressing freedom . And I agree with Reich's early writings on it , especially about 'impotent orgasms ' in men ( but I only agree with him up to the point before he started shooting his orgone cannon at UFOs Early Reich and Ida Craddock ..... should be essential reading for all developing males !
  19. The Soft Power of Totoro

    This look reminds me of my little Totoro like possum that sleeps above my bed in the wall. I can look in from outside, most often only seeing a big round grey furry shape, that slowly rises and falls. A couple of times she has been on her back, sprawled out, totally out to it. I have been tempted to pat her, but those claws ! So they other day, when she was busy eating a banana, I sneaked in a pat . I suppose she just thought it was the baby possum crawling on her back as there was no reaction at all . But the baby came around the front and started eating the banana mum was holding, she looks at baby, turns her head to look at her back and sees me patting it. She turned her rump away out of reach and gave me the strangest surprised look ; " What on earth do you think you are doing ! " and shuffled further in out of reach . Some animals dont understand patting ..... " Urrrgh! get yer hands off ! "
  20. The Soft Power of Totoro

    and , if you find your thoughts getting too hard ..... relax and have a pipe full . ... light em up ..... may as well get the T-shirt to go with them
  21. Obously not . It was also apparent during a past debate/argument with him. You know how it works ; type in what you want to 'prove' and put up the results as 'evidence' , even if its some youtube crap. I trumped him time and time again with proper academic references and he actual whinged and complained about me having some type of super computer where I could look up things and post them at a rate he (ie, his computer ) could not keep up with . yes, I do have a super computer and I use it all the time .... its called my brain . if one actually knows what one is talking about already and has previously done research on it , that's why things are easy to look up and find 'super quick' .
  22. The Soft Power of Totoro

    Whats big , soft, big bellied, has a weird loud call and often appears alongside smaller ones of same and lives in trees ? yes, we do actually have a 'Totoru type' creature down here . we even got a 'ground Totoro ' too
  23. Well , it makes as much sense as posting a video with a screen shot of back robed people with sex dolls, claiming Freemasons had a drug and sex orgy in their temple and then a story that explains others where renting their space for a party . What more could you expect from VYY who ... if not already, surely by now has lost all credibility whatsoever about anything he posts !
  24. .... are you going to post the email here ?
