of porn threads, and before I go too much further should mention that GD/GDP have
always imo suffered from what I continue to maintain is a shared/collective myopia only able to digest the news links of maybe two people so much so that they could post a link to The Yellow Pages, or random pgs from: The Joy Of Cooking, and receive 44recs...
so much so...that they're
only able to view links & matters through the eyes of a slight few people so there's that; but the current spate of porn threads are indicative, and mightily so, of just how little is actually being discussed in 'general discussion' i.e. the genre hasn't even been explored as to it's Rx of addictive, endorphin releasing pass-times in patently lonely, dark little rooms filled with desperately manic people seeking an ever bigger,
no...wait for it; but an ever bigger Rx rush of low dollar, low impact cyber-sex. Some of them are here in the lounge, and too many think they're merely cute, warm, or wannabe fuzzy Teddy Bears; but certain elements of predatory natures are clear and so these matters require maturity and perhaps there is where we let the whole tent down, just let it fold for lack of mature, progressive, forward thinking efforts to maintain it aloft, as well...
Most people want to be seen or appreciated as vital, and so a current frenzy to establish 'deep modem status' is to me also telling...and time consuming. I'm pretty sure I virtually do not have the time to sit around virtually *all day long* posting virtual links to virtual stories into a cyber-world.
There once was he, who expressed his pleasures when we argued stating such matters thus and I paraphrase,
'We're Democrats, Dammitt!! That's what we do! We fight!! We ball up our fists! We hop up & down!! We fight/argue!!! We're passionate!! We're made as hell & we're not going to take it anymore!!! Deal with it! This is who we are!! Because I am glad we're finally arguing about how important it is to have lost this country to (fill in the blank).'
So now we do and too often too vitriolic-ally, bile ridden-ly so because some errant priest has sanctioned such behaviors, made them holy (small 'h'), and absolved them from within their pre-state of being delivered as tiny little monsters awaiting their birthdays however...
What he did not mention along with the rest before even he trundled off & away, and probably should have, was, apparently...
"We're democrats, dammitt!! We seldom win elections cause we're far too busy arguing with & snarking amongst each other with: hetero/breeder police, gay police, fashion police, vegan police, grammar police, meat police, civil rights police, liberal/progressive holier-than-thou police, porn police, SUV police, mini-cooper police, corporate franchise sports police, the Dalai Lama is a Fascist police, etc, etc, etc, yada-yada-yada. And when we do the opposition still out maneuvers us because we're too busy out maneuvering each other."
No, it's sad instead, watching not just GD/GDP but the damn whole kit & caboodle just ah'trying to be all that it can be
And so I say, "Cheers to'ya, instead!! My name is bridgit, Queen of The Borg. Would you be so kind, Sweety, as to buckle my head to my ass-bone? Cause that would be really swell. Here's thanking you in advance."
