" Internet sex addiction, "

AdultNews;"Like the nose on Pinocchio's face, the pop psychology concept of "Internet sex addiction," keeps on growing. Like the witch-hunt hysteria of centuries past, the insanity is spreading from country to country with the latest batch of illogical conclusions coming from London England, where women were once encourage to "lay back and think of England" while enduring marital sex. Sporting language that would make the Vatican's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger proud, the increasing openness with which women are admitting that they enjoy sex with addiction. And the Internet, of course, is to blame. "I think the Internet has played a part in the increase, a woman had openly said she wanted sex, it would have raised eyebrows. It is more acceptable now." Well, we can't have that, can we? As usual the definition of "addiction" is staggeringly vague, while simultaneously being compared to increases in physical addictions such as those with drugs and alcohol among women. Additionally, the number used to support this supposed wave of insatiable female sexual hunger is ridiculous. According to the study "Sex Addiction and Women," released by an unspecified firm a whopping one to two percent of women are "addicted" to sex and the Internet. Lock up your sons, folks, Internet harlots are surfing the 'Net in search of no-strings attached sex, naughty pictures, and stories. Well, maybe two-percent of women, anyway -- give or take that traditional three-percent margin of error, of course. Once marketed as an exclusively male "addiction," a fondness for sex and the Internet is now something that women share, with some hooking up for anonymous sexual encounters and hot chats in much the same way people used to do via personal ads and pen pal systems. Somehow researchers are unaware of the bar scene and other more Luddite forms of sexual hook-ups and have declared the number of women using the Internet to meet and greet as "...An unprecedented trend that defies current understanding of the sexual habits of men and women." Maybe some academics need to spend less time in the lab and more time in the real world. According to these so-called experts, women have traditionally under-reported their "sex addiction," whereas men have coped to their bad habit and sought help. Doctors and therapists claim to have treated "dozens of women" ranging in age from 19 to 60 and claim that online erotica is the Internet equivalent of crack cocaine. Unsurprisingly, the people beating the drum of Internet sex addiction are the same people making money off of it by pathologizing what others might consider a healthy sexual appetite or, in the case of women who engage in risky sexual behavior via online contact, a manifestation of a larger problem. But treating the underlying problem doesn't make pop psychologists rich -- blaming technology and encouraging guilt and shame do. For instance, Dr. Cyndi Roller is the author of the Sex Addiction and Women report. She claims that women who are addicted to sex consider themselves to be worthless, unloved, and incapable of having their needs met, and convinced that sex is their chief priority. If this is so, how is the Internet to blame? In fact, how is sex to blame? Certainly there must be a deeper issue to confront than the use of chatrooms for the exchange of saucy fantasies."

If you care to hear my views on this I will tell you women are learning its okay to feel sexy and they can do it in the privacy of their own homes thru the inter-net, and they are having fun doing it. Now I will tell you their is a web-site, I won't say where that I went one time, but they have live cams all the time in people homes so....Okay!! I stayed and peeked..LOL Well lets just say I smoked a pack of cigs.....Watching (blushing)

Men And Their Underwear

washingtonpost; "I found this little tid-bit in the writer area, and couldn't help myself. Sorry guys.. all the talk about pantys lately, and thought all you men you enjoy the last post I did so much I just had to give you this one is was a real fashon statment for fall, for the new-year. It's the writer verson in the mall going shopping in the stores and he stops in this one store - "
Man: I am a lifelong wearer of your products, and I like them just fine, but I got to the mall yesterday, and I saw something very disturbing. They were Jockey underpants. The picture showed a guy, like, shaving or doing something very manly, but he was wearing what appears to be, well, panties.
Lady-clerk: That's the Next to Nothing line of briefs.
Man: My question is, have you ever sold a single one of these items?
Lady-clerk: Oh, yes!
Man: My theory is that you aren't trying to sell them. You have them there to make all your other products look manlier. So, here is my suggestion: Go all the way. Just call them panties. Panties for men. Manties, by Jockey.
Lady-clerk: Ha-ha.
Man: I'm serious. And you should also sell pantyhose for men. Call them Panty-he's. So a guy comes along in the store and sees a display of Manties and Panty-he's, and he's going to buy 12 basic white Jockey boxer shorts, right quick.
Lady-clerk: You know, some men wear pantyhose when they ski.
Man: Omigod."

Well did you like, leave your comment at the door...hehehe!!

Prison Guards Find Basketball Full Of Pot

sfgate;"Okla- Basketballs are usually puffed up with air, but somebody found a way of inflating one with a substance usually associated with puffing of another kind. Oklahoma State Penitentiary officials cut into an exercise-yard basketball and found nearly two pounds of what is believed to be marijuana stuffed inside. Acting on a tip from McAlester police, prison officials searched the yard and found the basketball, which held 30 one-ounce packets of the leafy substance. They seized the basketball from the Talawanda Heights unit, which houses 65 minimum security inmates for the prison and sits away from the main part of the facility. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Linda Morgan said two inmates are on lockdown in connection with the seizure.
Morgan said officials don't know how the basketball got on the prison grounds."

Talk about a air-head!!...Wonder how long this was on the grounds? Now that is what I called prison reform no one smoked it, and to think it still had pot in it.....oh I'm sorry its called : Marijunana

Ex-Wife IDs Bank Robbery Suspect

sfgate;"Ohio -- A suspected bank robber's getaway was abruptly cut short by an unusual witness -- his ex-wife, authorities said. Police accuse Daniel Waggoner, 31, of robbing a bank branch in a Kroger grocery store Tuesday. Police and witnesses said he passed a note demanding money, received cash from tellers and fled. Detective Frank Hensley said Waggoner's ex-wife later saw him driving on state Route 122, and wondered what he was doing in Middletown. "She is on her way to the bank at Kroger and sees his truck -- it's easy to spot. It's black with a chrome smoke stack," Hensley said. When the woman reached the Kroger, she learned that the bank branch was closed because of the robbery. She went to another branch and told the teller that her ex-husband had been in Middletown shortly after the robbery and that he had gotten out of prison a year ago after serving a sentence for bank robbery. "She said he had no business being in Middletown, then she heard about the bank robbery and put it together," Hensley said. The ex-wife identified Waggoner from a photograph taken by the bank surveillance camera, and police took Waggoner into custody."

Sorry, had to print this one. It's got to be the stupid of the day post I feel, come on haven't we always been taught growing up we don't do crap that will get up caught in our own back yards...This guy where's his brains? Maybe he should of first.. Made sure he wouldn't run into his ex-wife, while he was in town at least....LOL

Man Loses License Over 6-Pack A Day

sfgate; "Harrisburg,Pa.- A man who told his doctors that he drinks more than a six-pack of beer per day is now fighting to get his driver's license back because the physicians apparently reported him to the state. Said Tuesday that he disclosed his drinking habit in February to doctors who were treating him at a hospital for an irregular heartbeat. "I told them it was over a six-pack a day. It wasn't good for me. I'm not going to lie," he said in a telephone interview from his home. Emerich received a notice from the Department of Transportation in April that his license was being revoked effective May 6 for medical reasons related to substance abuse. He has petitioned a judge to restore the license, and a hearing has been set. A state law dating to the 1960s requires doctors to report any physical or mental impairments that could compromise a patient's ability to drive safely, any statistics on its reasons for doing so, report motorists with medical conditions that could affect their driving, according to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. The other states are California, Delaware, Oregon, Nevada, and New Jersey.

Okay -Now wait a minute...I thought anything you tell your Doctor was between you and him!...Right? Kind of like the Confession-thing. Well guess not!! Sure won't be telling mine no more juicy gossip anymore...Heck with that!!

Dropped Cig Blows Up Portable Potty

sfgate;"W.Va. - Warning: smoking in the toilet can be dangerous. A portable toilet exploded Tuesday after a man who was inside it lit a cigarette. Emergency workers said the man was not severely injured and drove himself to Clay-Battelle Community Health Center. He was later transferred to Ruby Memorial Hospital. His name and condition were not available Wednesday. The explosion, which occurred in Blacksville, resulted from a buildup of methane gas inside the portable toilet. The methane did not "take too kindly" to the lit cigarette, said a spokeswoman for Monongalia Emergency Medical Services."

Well...... Guess this takes a whole new meaning to [going to the john for a smoke break]..lol

Promise American you will not reinstate the Draft

Found this letter when wandering around on the web and thought I would put it out their for a few to comment on. And see what kind of talk, I can start-up with it... Read on:

Dear Mr.Bush And John Kerry;
Neither of you have put forward an exit strategy for U.S. troops in Iraq or Afghanistan. This open-ended troop deployment, along with the other military commitments of the United States throughout the world, has stretched U.S. forces thin. In order to meet these commitments many soldiers have not been allowed to leave the service at the end of their enlistment (a form of a Draft), thousands of troops are being shifted from South Korea to ease pressure elsewhere, the U.S. is calling up more and more reserves and most recently the Army announced it would call back soldiers who had already left the service.

The House of Representatives voted in May to permanently add 30,000 Army soldiers over the next three years; the Senate voted in June for an additional 20,000 in fiscal 2005. But it is going to be difficult to recruit troops now that young Americans have seen what is going on in Iraq and why this country was plunged into this war of choice in the first place. Indeed, polls show more and more Americans do not support the war and want U.S. troops to come home. The Pentagon's reliance on reservists and National Guard members has grown substantially. The National Guard is being turned into an International Guard. Already the National Guard and reserves make up about 40 percent of our troops in Iraq. Our troops are spread thin even with the expensive outsourcing to corporations of many military functions. As Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, the lead sponsor of a bill to reinstate the draft in the U.S. House of Representatives, recently told The International Herald Tribune "ultimately we will run out of bodies."

Where are the soldiers for your military policies going to come from? As a result of these factors there is increased discussion of the return of the military Draft by elected officials in Congress and commentators. I am writing to you today to urge you to publicly proclaim that you will not support a return of the Draft. An unambiguous clear promise on this matter is needed to put this issue to rest.

Sincerely,

Ralph Nader"

WOMAN TEST-DRIVING CAR FINDS PYTHON UNDER THE HOOD

NBC-6 ; "Potsdam,N.Y- A woman taking a used car out for a test drive found a little some extra under the hood. A big snake. When Margaret Brusso took a 1999 Honda Accord out for a ride, she noticed the car's hood was ajar. She decided to take a look at the engine. That's when she came eye-to-eye with the snake. Brusso let out a scream. A neighbor came over with a pail to help out, then decided the snake was too big for him to handle. A sheriff's deputy with experience handling snakes was dispatched to the scene and corralled the ball python. The snake had escaped from its tank earlier this summer. It has since been returned to its owner. "

Lord-Lord I hate Snakes!!!....Hey....Rathwel...you live up their did you lose something?

SOLDIER WHO LOST ARM WINS APPEAL TO REJOIN ARMY

NBC-6; "Fayetteville, N.C.- Chuck Bartles lost his arm , but not his stripes. Sergeant Bartles is being allowed to rejoin the military. The Army reservist lost most of his right arm in an Iraqi roadside bombing attack. He's with the 418th Civil Affairs Battalion based in Belton, Missouri. Military officials say he's the first amputee to re-up since at least the Vietnam War. Lieutenant Colonel James Suriano, the commander of the 418th, says Bartles' "soldierly qualities" helped him win his appeal to stay in the service. Bartles was awarded a Bronze Star before his re-enlistment ceremony in Fayetteville, North Carolina, this week."
Now this is a man that will let nothing stop him from what he believes in, maybe we should all take a few lessons from him. I stand up and [clap-my hands] to a man that was hurt and could of said he did his part and come home, but he didn't.... I saluted you sir.
