The Demise of AllAboutSex

[SlickTony]

This was the website that was set up so that young people who couldn't come here could discuss sexual issues with each other. I think I might have linked to it from here. I thought that graphically speaking, it was one of these Websites that Suck; with its black, star-spangled background and red and green fonts, it wasn't particularly eye-friendly. But I enjoyed visiting it to see what was going on with it, and saved it in case my son had some issues he didn't want to take up with his dad or me.

Imagine my dismay when I found out that the site has been shut down. They cited the increasingly chilly political atmosphere--in addition to changes in the site owner's personal life (he's acquired a family) as factors in the decision to shut down.

Another straw in the wind, peeps. Another straw in the wind. Time to go to our voting places and vote the present lot of rascals out.

Another straw in the wind, peeps.

Yes, that's how it goes: in little tiny bits and pieces, too small to notice or too unimportant to bother doing anything about.

And then one day there are sizable chunks missing and everyone wonders what happened.

If Bush is re-elected in November, I expect his thus mandated American Taliban will move to abridge our freedom in a manner which has no precedent. Inotherwords (as the President so often croaks) You ain't seen nothing yet.

I'm amazed that most Americans didn't see this, the wars, the corporate thievery, the nepotism & no-bid contracts, the wildly increasing deficit, et al coming in 1999. I certainly did. How could anyone not have known what this guy was all about?

Because they didn't want to know. Ignorance is bliss after all.

The concept of time is an invention. Therefore, time is subjective, and quite frankly, it's relative.

Relativism is not a copout as many intelligencia critisises. It is an acceptance.

The whole thing is going non-sequitur that I expect at any moment someone popping in and saying "goats".

Ah crap, it was me. Sorry. Continue your sexual spat and try not to splatter anyone.

I could have sworn that it is desire which manifests suffering.

By the way, when did the Buddha get a time machine? Siddhartha Gautama ca. 563 - ca. 483 BC
