@VAL3941 I see a tanning bed in your future. To my twisted side, I thought during South Africa's apartheid the funnest thing was people trying to get their racial identification changed to anything besides black. Here in the states the acid test if a person is black or not is the brown paper bag test. If their skin is as light or lighter than the bag, they're not black. Black movie director Spike Lee pointed out that there are gradations of darkness used among blacks for levels of segregation. When it comes down of who is which race, it's all nuts.

@TheGreatShadow I took a course in Shakespeare in college. It was a bear of a course. It covered most of the plays, all his poems over a three month period.

I could have forgot but on the other hand . . . .

WonderWartHog99 replies on Dec 18, 2019:

You suffer from holiday television deficiency. Every year they flood the airways with so many Christmas movies, it's easy to miss the one you want to watch. It's a movie stitched together from other stories by my one of favorite authors, Jean Shepard, about his childhood Christmas. Some of the stories they stitched in have nothing to do with Christmas. Hey, he's a good author so why not? Ten Christmas ago Petunia bought me a DVD so I wouldn't miss it during the Christmas season. It's ready to be recycled at the flea market from were it came. There's a point when I've seen it once too often. BTW, the theme centers around a kid (Ralph) who wants a BB gun. **Absolutely no one** including the mall Santa Clause wants him to have it. Therefore the repeating theme "Kid, you will shoot yer eye out!"

@ToolGuy In 1918 the House passed the Sedition Act, permitting the deportation, fine, or imprisonment of anyone deemed a threat or publishing “false, scandalous, or malicious writing” against the government of the United States.' Imagine if the Vietnam protesters ran afoul of a law that said . . . "The Sedition Act of 1918, enacted during World War I, made it a crime to "willfully utter, print, write, or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the form of the Government of the United States" or to "willfully urge, incite, or advocate any curtailment of the production" of the things "necessary or essential to the prosecution of the war." The act, along with other similar federal laws, was used to convict at least 877 people in 1919 and 1920, according to a report by the attorney general. In 1919, the Court heard several important free speech cases -- including Debs v. United States and Abrams v. United States -- involving the constitutionality of the law. In both cases, the Court upheld the convictions as well as the law." Source: https://www.thirteen.org/wnet/supremecourt/capitalism/sources_document1.html

@CarolinaGirl60 It's required to have water to have life. In desert countries they head either for the well or the oasis. After that, they haul the water away -- sometimes as far as ten miles -- for private consumption. I wish I had taken notes when a Desert Storm vet mentioned a bath towel size moist wipe. They weren't about to let him take a luxurious hot shower with limited water supplies. One of my friends told me that hot running water was the most wonderful thing in the world after he'd grown up in North Dakota. His parents would give a bucket and an ax, before pointing him to the pond to fetch the wash water. He had to cut a hole in the iced over pond to get the water.

@CarolinaGirl60 >Children rarely lie about sexual abuse or rape . . . . Honestly, I wouldn't count on it. Kids lie about anything. Don't get me started on citing examples. It's why courts typically throw out testimony from children. They're the least credible witnesses and easily manipulated. The testimony would be more credible if the parents took him or her to the hospital or police immediately to document physical evidence such as bruises and/or semen. >Ten years later, she found the strength to press charges and appear in court. As a general rule, typical child abusers issue credible threats if their victims report the abuse. This why the victim is slow to report the abuse, not that they are unable to describe it. Once your cousin had the abuser's child, she was armed with physical evidence to make her case more credible.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Dec 17, 2019:

@Marionville How soon you forget. I wrote you a small essay on that topic about a year ago. One of my pet peeves is people who incorrectly use ellipses. An ellipse is three periods with a space between each period used to cite a quotation with material that has been omitted. Four periods if the omitted material is at the end of a sentence. However in casual correspondence it has become a common practice just to stuff space free ellipses with excessive periods between anything just for the hell of it. It may indicate that there's more to tell but the lazy sods don't have the attention span to handle it. To settle the question why all these periods, my theory is they're chiggers. Chiggers are tiny biting bugs often found in vacant fields, Spanish moss (which is neither Spanish or moss) and on Queen Ann's lace (a wild carrot also known as chigger weed). Like run away periods, chiggers become extremely annoying especial to us who have had to use ellipses properly in scholarly papers. I contend those addicted to dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot have chiggers instead of poor grammar.

>That’s my Scott invented toilet paper! Oh, yea. **That guy.** According to http://www.toiletpaperhistory.net/invented-toilet-paper/who-invented-toilet-paper/ *Nobody is too sure when toilet paper was first used. . . . *The first “official” toilet paper was introduced in China in 1391, but the first mention of toilet paper (paper for personal hygiene) dates back to the year 589 AD in Korea. Between 875 and 1317 AD, paper was produced in large sheets (2-foot x 3-foot sheets and even perfumed) for Chinese emperor’s family hygiene. *Joseph C. Gayetty invented the first packaged toilet paper in the United States in 1857. Joseph C. Gayetty is credited as the inventor of modern commercially available toilet paper. "Gayetty’s Medicated Paper" was sold in packages of flat sheets, medicated with aloe and watermarked with his name. Gayety’s toilet paper was available as late as the 1920's. *In 1871, Seth Wheeler (to some sources Zeth Wheeler) of Albany became the official “inventor” of toilet paper. Seth Wheeler patents rolled and perforated wrapping paper. His Albany Perforated Wrapping Paper Company began selling the first toilet paper on a roll.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Dec 15, 2019:

@CarolinaGirl60 Petunia's idea of an anniversary gift to me was a 50 cent greeting card from the Dollar Store. I gave her a floor length ultra thick fleece bathrobe. She had a fit that I wanted to go eat honey roasted duck at a Thai restaurant instead of our normal place, the most expensive Italian restaurant she can find. Once there, she starts ordering deserts to go because I'm picking up the bill. We wound up at a place called Thai and Sushi. They were out of both duck and sushi. She thinks I got off cheap. I was disappointed because it seems we only eat out at Thai restaurants once every ten years. I haven't had a Thai honey roasted duck since 2008. It's typically the most expensive thing on the menu. I'd rather we picnic at the lake and pass a jug of wine to take the chill off. That's next year's hard sell.

One of the great ignored news stories was the Republic of Chad selling off the children of refugees. They took the position of "can't support them, we'll sell them." News from the third world is largely ignored in the US unless some media star gets involved. Who cares about refugees in Chad?

@Jnutter819 > And I was specifically talking about still being conscious enough to verbally signal consent, with the argument being about the validity of that consent. Rape is generally considered sex under duress, a condition not known for making peckers stand at attention. >If rape is just about lack of consent . . . . It's not **JUST** lack of consent or there would be a crowd of guys waiting for the high school to discharge the coeds after school. Age of consent varies from state to state, era by era. Thanks to better nutrition and growth hormones in food, there's some 12 year old girls who have magnificent skills for filling out a bikini and are tall enough to look me in the eye. Golly Wally, they shoot up chickens with breast growth hormones and feed it to small children at the school lunch counter. Throw in growth hormones for cattle for that better burger . . . . Ah, the forbidden desires for jail bait is a topic that gives many a fellow the willies to even talk about. Then too there's a question if they have the mental or emotional ability to give consent. If they're crazy, don't do it. It turns out consent is not the simple issue one might hope for. >Kinda like that South Park episode where one of the kids tries to report a teacher having sex with a student to the police and as soon as the police realize the student is male and the teacher female they stop taking it seriously. South Park is a cartoon and popular work of **fiction.** Fiction isn't always a good guide to reality. Did you see the early episode where aliens stick a house size probe up Cartman's butt? How many times has Kenny risen from the dead anyway? Here the newspapers report cases when a female teacher has sex with a male student(s) under 16, the school district promptly presses rape. Here in South Carolina the age of consent is 16 so the charge of child abuse is not always included in the criminal charges if he says "I didn't want to do it." Of course her school career with the district is over. > . . . because women are treated as fragile . . . You like those dangerous topics. Part of the reason for that is **as a general guide** women aren't as strong as men and therefore are left out of the infantry. Members of the infantry are required to carry heavy packs into battle that are outside of the range of **most** women. The Longshoreman's Union will hire any woman who is able to do the work. Sometimes they get one but they're few and far between down at the dock. That's why if I want to go overnight backpacking with a woman my best bet is find one with pack animal. Petunia **could** do it without a pack animal but these day even with light day trip hiking packs she flutters her eyes and uses those dangerous words "Could you carry this for me?" ...

@Jnutter819 >The same courts that in many jurisdictions don't even define sexual assault as rape if a man was the victim? The male rape is generally anal assault because few men get pass out drunk and get an erection while they're at it. Yes, the courts do rule anal sex without consent as rape for all genders. >If having sex with a drunk man is rape, rape isn't that bad. Buy me a drink and we'll see. 🥳 >If they [Playboy bunnies] were just waitresses, then I misunderstood them. In the early days of the club, the bunnies could be fired for dating the customers. >If you have a double standard about rape . . . . I don't have **that** standard. People who want sex should do so with their partner(s) consent or have a partner(s) who legally are able to consent. It is a view that can save a fortune in legal bills and keep a person out of jail. There are some tricky questions on what constitutes consent. My favorite was a guy who had sex with a woman with multiple personalities. The courts ruled he had consent with the adult personality until she switched to the child personality. Once the switch happened, it turned into rape and child abuse. Stuff like that gives me the twitches. >whole families today are caffeine addicts. There's no outcry about that. Why?

@JackPedigo It's a mixed bag (pun intended) to say the least.

Recent immigrants are more likely to be from Asia than from Mexico, and are also more likely to have a college degree. The size of the unauthorized population appears to be on the decline. Deportations from within the United States are rising. And the United States in 2018 resettled the smallest number of refugees since formal creation of the refugee resettlement program in 1980." see: https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/frequently-requested-statistics-immigrants-and-immigration-united-states Having seen some states offering enticements to move there, I think we might have a population **shortage.**

If you're not going there, as the old gringo expression goes you're just talking through your hat. >if you choose to get drunk and drunk you chooses to have sex with someone, your drunken consent is valid. Courts say differently. A drunken/stoned person can't give a valid consent and therefore having sex with them is considered rape. >A) they consented to being in that position Are you referring "they" the gals working at the Bunny Ranch? My issue was one can hire out an individual (or a group of them) for sexual activity thus giving one a short term rental on a body/bodies. Legality and ethnics of their occupation moves us into different fields of discussion. Somehow you included the intoxicated and Playboy bunnies into category A, the Bunny Ranch. By the way, since the 80's all the Playboy clubs have closed. While they were open, the bunnies were the club's waitresses. They didn't sell sex. They sold wildly overpriced drinks. Back in the late '70's I was one of the fabled key holders in Chicago. I went for the floor shows instead of the bunnies. >Our society has mostly decided in favor of decriminalized abortion. Why not decriminalized heroin? Abortion and heroin are not related. Abortion is legal but it's gotten harder to get one because of clinic bombing and because of state restrictions put on clinics. Some states don't have abortion clinics because of those things. When **all drugs** were legal, whole families got ripped on heroin and other **physically** addictive drugs. The only people who cared about that was the distiller and brewer's lobbyists. Reason: it was cheaper to get stoned than drunk. It was cutting into their sales. Under the rallying cry of "save the family", certain racial stereotypes and wide spread ignorance about recreational drugs, physically addictive drugs were made illegal along side of marijuana. The lobbyists told wildly inaccurate tales of recreational drugs. The untold history of drugs and alcohol in America requires outside reading. There's a low percentage of people reading books here in Gringo land. Reading, it seems, is not a popular past time in gringo land.

**Contested** divorce is expensive. When it's stuff is contested such as who gets the kid, the house and Big Fluffy, the dog, is where people have to hire lawyers. On the other hand when it's them and two soda pop bottles, divorce can be inexpensive. One divorce lawyer told me "Women don't want money. They want blood." During my first divorce, the wife wanted the car. Major deal: she couldn't legally drive it because of her epilepsy. She didn't want the car because she couldn't drive it. She wanted to see me bleed when I tried to get to work without a car. Later, I found out her cousin told her she wanted our divorce so I'd go out with her. The first wife was worried about me finding other women easily after our divorce. The first wife had conflicted feelings about demanding a divorce. She was trying to hang a battle ax over my head to get what she wanted, although at the heart of the matter she still wanted me. She was making up additional terms and conditions for our continued marriage while hoping not to get a divorce. To me it meant would I be better off without her and having a wild series of affairs instead? She got her divorce; she didn't get the car. I left her cousin alone. Three decades later, I got wife #2 who keeps wondering where did all these other women come from. Tomorrow, #2 (Petunia) and I will be married for 16 years. I don't expect anyone to send me a happy anniversary wishes tomorrow.

@NoPlanetB "oh, I want to see nudes, foods or gardening pic so let me find an agnostic site to do that". Really? Really. Atheists have **other** interests than discussing atheism. I started one group just about camping in the South East US ("Camping for adults in Dixie (no children) Group") for people who don't camp with children. Two other groups with related topics had administrators quit and I was promptly appointed administrator of both of them. Not all topics are popular. Nudie sites aren't that popular either but if that's what you're into, they're there. One of the big reasons atheists/agnostic/et al join this site is to **avoid** people who want to tell them all about their favorite deity. I've been kicked out of groups because I reply saying **why** I don't believe. That's because people want to listen to stuff they want to hear.

Impregnate the bluejean fabric with concrete powder and get them wet, then nail them up to something to keep them in an upright position and fill them up with something to make them keep their form!

>fill them up with something to make them keep their form! For example, dirt?

I need to mail this to a few Peanuts fans.

My inner child rode off on a chia pet.

@indelible One of my friends from North Carolina (NC) has packed up and will be heading for Toronto, Canada next Sunday. First she had to sell her house. She's that sick of the hicks of Hendersonville, NC. Wait until she finds the working end of a snow shovel. 😈🥶

After living in San Diego for two years, I concluded they don't have seasons. Perfect (except for the rare rainfall) weather all year. Only way to freeze your nuts off in San Diego is lay them on a block of dry ice for an hour.

Too far of a drive for me. I guess I'll wait until modern Prohibition is repealed lol

Without nationwide FBI or police statics, your reply is on the vague side. Things like by "violence" do you include clubbing them until it rates felony assault or excursively death by gun shot? There are nine different way to debate it. @Jnutter819 >"my body, my choice" right? Unless you're viewing the line up at the Bunny Ranch and asking questions what they're willing to do for the money. 😈 After that it is a case of their body, customer's choice. That gets into the hazy land of how much money for what kind of action. After that the fog rises on the dating scene. After a person has spent a fortune on gifts and entertainment at what point does their companion begin to feel guilty for not engaging in sexual activity? Most women will say no way to a dinner and a night at the theater for gratuitous sex. However how many of those nay sayers hold out against flights to Paris and free rent? Better yet, where you going to come up with the numbers to support your position? It's just personal opinion and wild speculation at this point.

@Marionville If they're not in the military, they've read about the military, they have a family member in the military, somebody tried to get them to join the military . . . . **VAGUE** connection with the military. > . . . . sometimes the two words Ordnance and Ordinance can be confused Lordy sakes honey child, I've misspelled **both.** If it wasn't for spell checkers I'd stay off internet social groups. Prior to spell checkers, I worked reference books to death. I wore out the spine of a hard cover book that fit in my hip pocket of 20,000 of the most commonly misspelled words. Huge vocabulary. Can't spell half of it. Without a spell checker, I'd be laughed off the internet.
