I top. I already top, but I'm a very considerate, loving, tender top. I even help with the washing and the laundry and the groceries...
...but if I say "wrists" I expect wrists, not frowns.

Liked it BUT Sam L. Jackson's house boy was sooo paternal to Di Caprio , for a moment I thought a hat trick was going to pop up at the end of the film, such as him crying on DiCaprio's body "that's my son you shot!"
(Else, how could the House Boy go to the Reading Room, pour himself a shot of Whyskey and sit in the leather chair AND address DiCaprio in such a way ???)

Hmmm... I don't support Danes, two legged, beer swilling dogs if I ever saw one... hypocrites like there was no tomnorrow...
Yep, even had one as my boss a few years ago, we all had a party the day after he left, the new boss was a Norwegian and he thought of Danes the same as we did.

You can simply say "I am not Catholic, I am not interested".

The Church started out in the days of Jesus with married priests, deacons and vicars.

The Church accepted the classical Roman (=pagan) rule of obligatory celibacy arount the Council of Nicaea, when it became obvious that they had to accept some of the rules of the "older" religions if they were ever going to successfully have them convert to Christianity.

That's when the Priests were MADE to become celibate, the Nuns MADE to accept nubility, and a lot of simbology was imported from other religions:
- Bishops' headgear "Mitra"comes from Persian cult of Mythras, as does the tiny RED candle of perennial (eternal) fire which is lit next to the Tabernacle (Jewish) where the Host (Egyptian) is preserved;
- the Host (Egyptian) is exhibited in a "Ostensorium" (Latin pagan) in the shape of the Sun (Sol Invictus, the One God, Giver of Light and Life, as in Egyptiasn Pharaoh Akhenaton, who refused the many gods and insisted on the One God, which manifested itself as the Sun)
- Vestements of Priests is Roman, from the shape to the names of the individual items to the color coding during holidays
- Religious Calendar is ROMAN, not Christian, with the sole exception of Easter (1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox) which is a solar variation of the Jewish lunar calendar
- All other festivities, from Christmas on, are pagan carried on into Christianity.
- Architecture of all churches from the 1st century up until the 19th century is Classical Roman; the Byzantine/Romanesque/Gothic/Barocque styles are merely aesthetic variations on the classical fundamentals.

Take it from an Italian Catholic, if you were to come to Italy you'd see pagan deities clothed and dressed as Madonnas, Jesus and whatnot, when in reality they are Vesta, Diana, Minerva, Apollo, Hercules...

If we all go back and delete all personal tit-for-tat rants at one another, this 3-page thread would count a mere dozen entries.

So please knock it off before I buy a three-way plane ticket and allow myself the vacation of a lifetime, and spank you all girls and wussies !



As for the one very kind lady mentioning "I am well read in religion" ... thank you for the compliment
My father was a would be monk, my mother should have shut herself up in a nunnery, and my junior brother IS a priest !

As for myself... I survive... (...so... where's the black sheep smiley?)

I have read these two pages and have to say there is a LOT of wrong impressions, preconcepts, ignorance and just plain old snotty up-yor-nose mentality here.

First things first, Catholicism is THE original form of organized Christianity; when Emperor Costantine summoned the Council of Nicaea, the "Roman" Bishops were the first to arrive (they were the ones who actually drafted the summons in the first place!) It was the Arian, Gnostic and many Easter Bishops (Syriac, Mesopotamian and Coptic) who were either not summoned, or refused participation under various pretextes - and that is history.
The result is that the majority of issues discussed were agreed "in the Catholic interpretation" because that is what the Emperor wanted - a "one size fits all" religion which had enough Classical Roman (pagan to you) Egyptian, Zoroastrian and Mesopotamian characteristics to appear acceptable to all "would be" converts - to the point entire populations converted once their King or High Priest converted (see St.Ursula as an example)

Secondly, to claim the (Catholic) Church exported tyranny, greed, corruption and paedophilia is true, is we consider all those things were rampant in the Mediterranean for the previous 3000 years and more.
One could, by similar reasoning, claim the USA is exporting democracy through the goodwill ambassadors called B-52, F-117 abd B-2, with a little help from drones and depleted uranium shells.
You are NOT without sin.

Third, the Church is, to this day, the world's oldest surviving absolute monarchy, there is no Criminal Code of Law discussed by a Parliament, and "Parliament" (Conclave) only meets in average once every 25-30 years to elect the new Pope.
Incidentally, the Cardinals do not meet in a threater or ballroom, they convene in the Sistine Chapel, and are LOCKED IN (that is why it is called "Conclave").

Fourth, don't get me running about with "witch hunts" but there is a difference between the Holy Inquisition and the Witch Hunts of the 16th - 17th Century.
The Inquisition was a Tribunal, a Court of Law; the lay, the famous and the infamous have been tried, the records are available, apparently less that 5% of those tried were found guilty. Among them, Francisco Goya, the painter, and Giordano Bruno, Italian monk and philosopher. In Spain, France, Latin America, it tried not only those accused of blasphemy and those accused of witchcraft, but also those accused of planting false evidence against the former.
See the trial in "The Name of the Rose" as an example - two of the tried and convicted were blasphemous monks and murderers - the third a girl accused of witchcraft when, these days, she would be recognized as mentally handicapped.

Last, the Church is the oldest surviving government, it has been carrying on business since the 4th Century - 1600+ years. Nobody has beaten that record yet, and it gets more difficult day after day.

One of you said "A true religion should trascend time". If you ask any well-learned archaeologist, anthropologist or rabbi, they will tell you that the oldest surviving religion, Judaism, is NOT the same as was practiced at the times of King Herod, never mind Abraham!
Quite the contrary! And, to be honest, one could even dispute whether Abraham, Noah and Adam were jewish, shaman Priest Kings or simply people whose names went town in history because THOSE stories survived time, and others did not.

Else, if you read the Hindu Holy Scriptures, which are just as old as the Torah, you will read of flying machines shooting flaming arrows at each other, steel dragons spewing fire from every pore, and hordes of infantry on Earth fighting a war for their Lords in Heaven...
Very similar to the Ancient Egyptian lore of Orisis, his son Horus and the evil uncle Seth ...

So, unless the next Pope is Cardinal Appiah Turkson, this is NOT the end of the world...
Why do I quote Card. Appiah Turkson ? Because his first name is ... Peter... and he would be the second Peter to sit in Rome - the Second Coming...

When I was a young teenager, my crushes were:

Susan Dey as Laurie Partridge
Maureen McCormick as Marcia Brady

But then "grown up women" weren't so bad either...

Barbara Eden as Jeannie
Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha ("Bewitched")
Barbara Feldon as Agent 99 ("Get Smart")

Many, many years passed, and as a fully grown 40+ year old I got a crush... again...

Young Courtney Cox in Friends
Alyssa Milano at the beginning of her career in "Charmed"

These days... I'm too old to get a crush... I think...

I do have a soft spot for Nordic lore, though...

Hi BablingBrooke, I have flown in a private jet, let me reassure you, the more private they are, the more cramped they become, to the point you can't even stand in them !!!
Helicopters, on the other hand, are like floating in the wind, in midair, if your pilot's willing he will let you go places and see things the way you've never imagined them to be !

Bucket list ? Hmmm... I have TWO bucket lists...

Bucket list no.1, Sci-Fi style:
Grab my savings, convert them to 1950s currency in nominal value (i.e., 5 grand today = 5 grand in 1950's money) and enjoy a life long holiday in 1950's Monterey or Santa Barbara... or Cocoa Beach, for that matter !!!
Imagine the fun you could have with what you can afford to spend in a week these days, converted to the same amount 60 years ago!

Bucket list no. 2
Grab my motorcycle and ride around the world - without being harrassed by petty thieves and criminals and dodgy currency changers...
Jump in my car and drive a similar route the other way around, just to see the places I missed the first time 'round... in good company this time ;)

Hello Ava.

There is a fundamental difference between a male escort and a female escort: whereas the female escort can "moan and groan and wait until it's over" (please forgive my crude description) it is the male escort who "must provide". Given that male sexuality is very dependant on looks and aesthetics in general, "providing" to a lady with an unpleasant personality or, even worse, unpleasant body may prove more of a challenge than one can cope with.

Furthermore, there are male escorts who are 25-35 years old, and are quite capable of "providing" a few times/night, or within a given timespan.
Then there are male escorts of "a certain age" (say... 50 or so) and while the quality of "services provided" may well soar to the stratosphere in general terms (compared to a 20 year old) the quantity may become like that of vintage Chateau Rotschild... there's only so much left in the world wink

So, it all depends... :hug:

My own two cents' worth, if I may.

From the "rational, social solidarity" point of view, all what you guys say is nice, polite, correct... BUT if she lives in the outskirts of Brussels (Belgium is only so big, gentlemen!) she should have realized she way way out of her way once she started seeing signs in German...
Got gas twice? At least once in German? If there's any rational awareness left in that old lady, she should have realized she was in friggin' GERMANY by the time she stepped out of her car THE FIRST TIME !
The lady deserves to have the Pllice come over and take her license away, befiore "she was so distracted she never noticed the school crossing monitor and plowed through 20 1st graders walking home".
GET IT ?

On the other hand... by European standards, Belgians are the European equivalent to the Beverly Hillbillies, so I will simply smile and carry on.
I've been to Brussels many many times for business and pleasure, turkish cab drivers (in Brussels) are better drivers than the Belgians themselves...
Did you know that, until the early '70s, you didn't even need a driver's license to drive? It didn't exist!
It was established only whebn other "EEC member nations" insisted they get in line with European standards!
So the old lady probably never even went through a driving exam in gher life, she simply turned 18 or 21 and sat behind the wheel...

May I kindly ask the ladies to tell us what they felt and what made them agree to try it, at least the first time? What made them agree to do it again? I would like to experiment a DP with my wife and a toy... she's always enjoyed being "naughty" but will not always agreeon "kinky"- often depends on her mood... she will sometimes ask for our lovemaking to be very "vanilla", other times she will agree to push it a little more.

We do have toys and enjoy using them, her favorite being a hefty 9" silicone penis I use on her while she lies on her side and goes down on me smile I'm afraid it could prove a wee bit too thick for her to go anal, and will rarely allow me to do the back door... although when I suggest it her eyes do sparkle, but it's always "next time" as if she were holding back.

What am I supposed to do... tie her spreadeagled to the bed, face down? (hmmm... could be an idea...)

What a real shame a beautiful building was destroyed but looking on the brighter side it was 18th century. Maybe if the new house is built to the same standard using modern techniques it may well last even longer than the old one and not need to get to the point of re-renovation?


To paraphrase your words: Let's knock down the Empire State Building, after all, it's already 100 years old and maybe the new one could laste even longer...

Kyliekained, that 18th Century building was old as Monticello or Mount Vernon!
Would you knock down George Washington's ancient recidence and "rebuild it with modern standards"? Thomas Jefferson's ?

What is your point ?

What are your standards ?

Do you have any at all ?

Hi all.

My wife and I were still engaged when, one evening during dinner at a chinese restaurant, she picked up a giant shrimp from her iron hotplate and poked "what does this remind you of?"
She was looking at me with that beady eye I knew had something on her mind...
She turned the shrimp so that it looked up, and... licked the sauce off one side.
My penis has been "the shrimp" ever since... with mutual enjoyment when we're out partying with friends and the double entendres start flying!

PS We'll be married 23 years in a few weeks' time ! So we KNOW fish is good for you !

Hello Seeker4.

Don't worry, you are in good company! Please consider that many languages have masculine, feminine and neuter genders, and that others have singular, dual and plural.
What is dual? It's the kind of "almost plural" you use when addressing or referring to two people; plural will consider only three or more.
And... what about cultural or historical differences ? Why is cooked meat called "beef" and a pig cutlet called "pork"?
It all comes down to history through the ages and the evolution of the language.
Simply consider that every language in the world will have its own individual word to refer to the Moon, but everybody will say "television" smile
