Topic Prostate Cancer chances high - I guess I should get mine removed now?
Posted 18 May 2013 03:11
My grandfather had it, one of his son's had it - of course both were diagnosed with it when they were over the age of 75...so perhaps I should circumvent being diagnosed with it and just go ahead and get mine removed & beat cancer to the punch?
We live in era when cancer is pretty much cured but new diseases came along.. Farmacy companies are making rediculous amount of money with implying fear into our minds. I am no hippie, I don't live on a tree nor do I drink super expensive morning smoothies, however I am trying to be careful with what I treat my body with, mainly trying to avoiding GMO products.
That being said, my question to you is, are you really being concerned, do you really have feeling that you should get preventive surgery?
Why don't you try and live healthier, try to limit or even decrease acid in your body and see how that will feel.
Personally, and I am not saying that will do the trick for everyone, I literally fixed my blood with marihuana oil. In EU can be bougth in every supermarket.

I dislike myself doing this, but..
Who are we? We're the end users! Without end users there isn't any point to development.
Of course we are and don't you think they/ she knows that? Don't disrespect them thinking they are ignorant. However, lushstories.com is Nicola's business and how she will aproach, analize and increase its growth and development it is her business. This is sex site, it is I believe a tad different to handle than grocery store, it is up to her how she wants her site to visually looks like, her rules. We got spoiled, she was asking us and giving us too much librety in the past about decisions she should make, and now we think we own this place just because we posted few poems. Please.

Reading your post She just makes me realize what a privilege it is to be born and to live in a democratic country with freedom of speech. A privilege that unfortunately doesn't go for all in this world. I like this site and I respect the form and freedom it offers to its members! I think I have said it all in my last posts so not going to repeat... Plus agree with what Maz, CD & others pointed out. I will wisely give my eyes the necessary rest they need to recover! Ciao Je Vous Salue!
It has nothing to do with democratic world, it all has to do with manners.

So then she doesn't have to take it.
giggling, of course she doesn't, giggles, was my post really read as Nicolas defence? she is more than capable on her own.
If she wants she can leave the icon, although it doesn't seem like even she wants that. What's going on here, in my opinion, is venting. If Nicola, or anyone else with power, wants to listen to the venting, then thats great for the venters. However, if she chooses to ignore it or even lock the thread, so be it. I don't think any one here is demanding a change or even holding an official vote for change. That is the nature of forums, anyone with a keyboard can spout their opinion publicly whether or not their opinion matters to those with power. I think that the creators of this lovely site are tough enough to take some criticism and hell, if they're not, they can shut us all down!
Exactly as you said, classy venters. I don't believe people cannot take negativism, I was not talking about that, my problem with this thred is that it is not our bussines to talk about it. I am sure they chuckle reading all this.
So, dont worry brooke, no one is shuting us down, they love us!

Given that this was brought up in a public forum and, as with every other thread on this site or indeed the internet, people have their own opinions and like to share them.
I hadn't heard anyone complain about the original, black icon that appeared. Everyone seemed to like it well enough and those fortunate enough to have one against one of their stories were (as far as I have seen and heard) very pleased indeed to have that honour bestowed.
I personally don't like the check mark in blue and I said so - I also, like others who've posted here, made suggestions for alternatives - that doesn't mean that I didn't appreciate any work which had gone into it.
The new icon seems unpopular and, given that it's something which appears on pages of contributors to the site, I'd have thought that feedback would not only be welcomed, but necessary. We can choose our avatars, backgrounds etc, why should it be a surprise that we'd want to have a say on this.
Whether we volunteer our time as part of the moderating team, contribute to the forums and chat rooms, support the site by purchasing gold memberships or spend many hours writing stories for everyone else to read, we are ALL valuable members of the site. But we are all also putting ourselves out there to be judged by our Lush peers - whether your forum post gets slated or praised, your story gets comments or votes (or not), it is a public place and as such, we can expect that, sometimes, the 'masses' will not like what we say or do.
That's life, that's the internet and instead of getting upset about this, perhaps we should remember that none of this is a personal slight, develop thicker skins and be thankful that people care enough about Lush to offer their opinions, suggestions, creations and ideas to make it the place that we love so much.
There is a Lush improvement thread, perhaps this is where we should be discussing this?
Actually, and we all should learn the difference between if we are asked about oppinion or we just decide to share it in forum about someone elses busines. Lets say for instance, and start new thread to discuss your page and what colors are not going together and what we dont like about it..or about my page....What would you say? Stay the fuck away from my page it is my busines what will i do with it, right? The same goes with Nicola (although I don't believe she would use fuck word) and her site. Sometimes I think she is too democratic.
I didn't like previous recommended star, however, neither Nicola nor Gav, asked us about what we think so I didn't push my opinion. There is a team behind Lush, i think pretty great one who is capable of doing their job, we cannot all be part of Nicola's decisions, thats why she has team around herself, good one as well, the one she choose. No need for every Mazza, She or Kiki to fill her head with our opinions when we are not asked for

If I may add, I am all for simplicity -- check for recommendation read, is lovely!
As far as I see it, this site has three strong colours (red, yellow and blue) beside black and white and personally I think no new colours need to be added. That being said, I would like to see how would look yellow check in blue square..it would go perfectly with yellow ribbon but still you could tell that the story is 'less quality' than editors pick, but recommended for a read..
when star medall was up, I truthfuly didn't know is it more than editors pick? less? but then there was grey colour so it must be less, but it is still medal..with new check is easy, you got some kind off approval, but not the higest recognition. I think readers could go easy with that, specially if check would be yellow, easly associated to ribbon.

Please tell me I am not the only one seeing communism in that symbol!

Okay, I posted this on MrNudiePants thread but keeping true to his word he is deleting whatever he wants. So, here I want to thank Overmykneenow for pointing out...
I think it stems from her use of the saying "they shoot horse, don't they" - used, I'm pretty sure, in the context that it's cruel to let him go on like this and if he was a horse he'd have been put out of his misery.
OMG...I read my past posts over and over trying to find where MrNudiePants could possible get that I wanted him shot. I rolled right over that statement because that statement means putting YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR MISERY. The statement I made was
So, Puh-lease set me on ignore...better yet, let me block you.
Christ...they shoot horses don't they?
...to put me out of my misery. This guy who plays God with your opinions probably knows this but like I said before he is a classic manipulator. And now we know he is a Drama Queen as well.
But to anyone and everyone who read into that statement that I meant to do or wish harm on this guy...I sincerely apologize. I'm embarrassed This guy twisted it to mean something it doesn't mean. Google the term. You'll find I'm not lying. But I do apologize to any fellow Lushie who read that to mean something that was not intended.
Fact that he is deleting opinions he cannot handle, is just so bad for this site. Is this means that here is no credibility anymore?
here was some name calling, and as far as I know that is not allowed, site Thread Mediators should regulate that, or at least I was living in this believe, but deleting posts in his thread is just pathetic and thrutfuly I don't like where this is going, specially because this is not first thread where people are suggesting or in this case performingchensirship.
You are farely new to this site, so you might not know, but most of us who ever debated naked guy came to the same conclusion as they were mentioned in this thread.. I am not regular anymore but as far as I can see, no one seems to be bothered with nakeg guy. He lost his personal credibility years ago, I am just wondering if this site will go on the same road as he went..

Topic Comments on stories
Posted 05 May 2013 11:31
My original post was stated as ALL to hide or ALL to show. I never once said picking and choosing which to show should be an option. I think that is dumb. If you want to hide the comments, they should ALL be hidden, not just some.
The comments are for the person who wrote THAT story, so if they want the comments people post hidden so only they can see, that seems fair. We shouldn't have to turn them off completely. It isn't JUST the negative ones that make me want to hide these, but it IS a big reason I do. It's not a sissy way out, or a you need to be a better writer. No one is perfect. Even the popular, well known writers get shit comments from time to time. We should just be able to have the choice to hide what we want. It is after all our work.
Actually, story might be yours, but my comment is mine. If I want to send you Private Message, I will do that, but commenting on sotries, it is and it should be public. You as a writer of particular story, cannot hide my public comment; I , as a commentator will not allow you that, I will fight for that prerogative.
p.s. and just to be clear, I have never, ever gave lower score than 5. I know, lame, but still...
We are here talking about voters and commentators rights, and in no case we, as writers should have more rights than readers. It is the same as forbidding the New York Times to publish our story review, just because we don't like it.
... and Popet, please don't take this personally, I am not attacting you, actually, it is excellent topic to discuss.

I am trying not to come across as judgemental bitch, but doesn't choosing and picking which comments you want to show to other people, is nothing but censorship. There is option to disallow comments and votes if someone cannot handle other people's oppinion or simply doesn't care, but as writer who gives me the right to pick and choose other peoples opinion about my scribbles?? I honestly think that adult sex site, should have rules of course, but I don't and I cannot support censorship. I love you, Gav, but i simply cannot agree with this..
p.s. This could be example: asking in the forum about subject and than deleting post because someone does not like what was said. It is the same thing. And I am not saying Gav would ever do that.
Just to be clear and I cannot emphasize this enough, authors shouldn't have option to chose not to show comments they don't like.. Or I will allow people to leave comments or disallow, but I personally think we shouldn't pick and choose which comments we will show to other readers. To me it doesn't seems fair at all.

... I'm asking legitimate questions and I'm not deflecting from the real issue. But I do want to know what happened, and more importantly, why it happened. ...
It is all kinds of us, and we are all struggling to keep a smile during the day, at one point seme lucid people crack and shit comes out of it..and that is just when 'normal' people have issues. But think about for a second on all clinically depressed people, all unhappy people, all unsatisfied people and now add to this all mentally ill people.. and now imagine to all that (to all kinds of us) a right to have a licence to posses a gun. And you know that all that 4 months of going through legitimate approval from state is just.. nothing much. Every one can own a gun or have access to it. I have noting against responsible people with guns, but we all know that only minority truly is responsible.
Dangerous toys in inppropriate hands are more than dangerous. It would be much easier to regulate gun possesion than who is capable of dealing with dangerous tool, that is why I am strongly against having a gun in home. You never know when one of your house members will crack and kill 20 plus people. I am strongly against pssessing a personlal gun in any situation.

I am starting to doubt that you actually realize how you sound.. Acceptable for me? In what post, in what thread, whenever, did I ever direspect any kind of human existance? Ever? please, you are free to dig in into my history of posts and find me anything that can even apply on similarity of your posts. Please knock yourself out and find me if I have even suggested what you did say several times.
Enyoj? I thought you are defending pro gun law because of protection, haven't had clue that you enyoj them..so pardon me, this takes completelly different term in this discussion

This is why we can't have meaningful dialogue on important issues. People are so ready to be offended and find offense where there is none. He didn't say he found the events to be amusing, he said it's these discussions that are amusing. I don't know foxjack and I didn't go back to check his stance on gun control, but I think it's safe to say that he found no amusement in anyone's death. No where did he say the deaths of 20 six and seven year old kids was amusing. Argue points of debate all you want, don't make anyone out to be amused at death. He didn't say that. Didn't imply it.
Really, LM, that's the reason why we cannot have meaningful dialogue?
People are offended because they can imagine what would it feel when someone close to them would be killed in school and idiots on internet would have arguments as some people do in this and few other inspired by this situation, threads.
But if you think that there is none offense to be taken that doesn't mean that there is none at all. foxjack expressed himself inappropriately, in some other similar threads as well, it is not lonely case of his, and as I see it, he is not going to stop anytime soon explaining to us how guns are great and that guns dont kill and similar shit.

I know what you mean. I disagree though, anyone who drinks and chooses to drive is intending to be irresponsible. If my child is killed by a bullet or a drunk driver, I'm not really going to care about his intent. My only care would be my kid.
Society is damaged and you are saying that it is not the tool that kills but person, and yes, you are right but.. Our society is damaged, its all kinds of us and we are all quite different in our standards and that's why we have rules and laws, to prevent accidents and try to keep society as clean as possible. It is not perfect world, and we as human race most certainly are not perfect, not even close, but we do develope we do change and we do get new toys to play with every decade or so, but my friend, guns were made to kill. There is no other purpose for them but to kill and I cannot agre with comparison of a drunken driver and gun shooter beause cars were made to take you from A to B, guns for killing, there is no need for them in private houses.

Posted 17 Dec 2012 12:38
I think this is a more valid comparison than the gun deaths vs. automobile deaths analogy. It's not the car that's dangerous, it's the misuse of a car that is dangerous. Anyone who willingly gets behind the steering wheel while intoxicated is just as able to kill as someone who misuses a gun. Yes, I realize there's a difference in intention but the result is the same. Death.
2010, there were 10228 fatalities as a result of drunk driving. It is estimated that 1/3 of those accidents were committed by a repeat DUI offender.
2010, there were 9369 homicides committed with a firearm.
It may not be popular here, but it is a valid comparison. If our goal is to end unwarranted death to innocent people, alcohol is just as deadly as firearms, if not more so.
The larger issue is where along the line did we lose so much respect for human life and ourselves? All life is precious, it doesn't matter how it's taken or by what means or weapon. If one of my loved ones died, I'd be equally distraught over it having happened via gun or drunk driver. Either way, there is a PERSON to blame. The individual himself is responsible.
edit.... neither is really the problem.... people are the problem
the difference is in a intend.
rarely drunk people will sit behind the wheels and decide to kill someone else, if you discard hollywood action movies that is. usually they are suicidal, but with firearms, you thought things through, you made a plan, you went into a school and kill children. big difference. and maybe will this sound brutal, but difference is as well how many you can kill before someone will stop you with car or with semi automatic gun.
