It never ceases to astound me that a forum like this can both be so civilised and also so spiteful in places. Spite begets spite. We now have thinly veiled spite as well as spite in open speech. So we have 'civilised spite' now.
This pisses me off mightily.
When the Mystery Moderator comes online today I will be asking him to edit or remove content that is, in his opinion, spiteful, though with due regard for genuine humour. However, his concept of humour may differ from your own.
This is part of my drive, not to sanitise nor to censor, but to return to fully civilised behaviour here. It is the behaviour that utters the spite that I object to.
If there is something to say that is beneficial, say it. If there is something that is fun, whether useful or not, say it. If there is a hard message that should be heard, take time to phrase it well, and say it. But if you are going to hurt someone just for the sake of it or for your own internal purposes, swallow your tongue.

How do you fly when you're in the sky
How do you go away
Without saying a word, I guess it's for sure
That you would have wanted it that way
How does the sky, turn blue like a light switch
How does the sun go down
At the night when its right and theres no one around
Is that where it all goes down
~Chorus~
Into the night of day
We will all go away
Going our seperate ways
Just down the road
And if we find a way
To meet some other day
Then we will walk away
On some sunny day
How do capture this infinite raptur
How do you make sure I'm fine
How can you tell me, it all meant nothing
How can you tell me you wished that I'd die
How does the world go spinning in circles
And how does the sun still shine
Why did I wish for that one little kiss
Why did I wish for good times..
~Repeat Chorus~
So tell me again, straight from my head
How am I supposed to live
To go on without you like some broken avenue
I wish I could find what I missed
And how do you say, on some sunny day that like is gonna work out
Just start living a lie and make time go on by
Like it was if you neveer existed..
So tell me again, while you act like a friend, if you think that I am alright
Can you look in the mirror, lift up your head
And go to sleep tonight..
~End~

Love who you want to.

Dear Place of Safety.
Hello. How are you today? I'm alright, a little tired of vacuuming, even though I still have some more to do, along with some other chores. I'm also slightly tired at the moment.
Also, I kinda have to apologize to Timmy. Hey Timmy! Just wanted to say sorry for always taking up your board space to write my poems,. I hope everyone enjoys them though. It's always nice when someone likes something I write. Anyway, that said, I'll finish up my chores now and leave you with this. It's yet another poem that I've written. I hope you all like it.
~Josh~
-------
~Sick~ -- Poem by Joshua Ward
I'm sick of hearing your voice in my head
Sick of hearing all the things you would have said
Sick of seeing you every single day
You're a virus, a cold that just won't go away
Everything you do, irritates me to no end
I feel like I should crawl under the sand
To get away from you
These things take time, it will surely pass
Meanwhile I'm stuck repeating all the memories that are fading
Let me go, let me die
Get me wet then leave me out to dry
It's annoying, frustrating and I know that for a fact
So get out of my head, get out of my life
So that I can maybe learn to see the light
Again...
21.
Love who you want to.
~Josh~

I have battled hard to get the right server to keep this place open, worked out with Megaman how to raise money so that no-one has to dip into his own pocket to feed it, designed the place initially myself and then with his help, finally I can't run it without him.
Now, just so that you understand, I KNOW I cannot win. I am fully aware that whatever I decide to do, some fool will take the credit for it because he has persuaded me by his actions to "act" in some manner.
I can tell you, the idiots who want to take some sort of control here that my attitude is very simply "Screw you all!" I will sweep you out of here so fast you won't even realise it has happened if I need to, whoever you are.
This is NOT a public service. This is something that I provided for you to create a community. And now we have Lord of the Flies. Except you have forgotten who has the conch.
Get with the program! Get over yourselves, or, quite simply, GET OUT!
Someone said to me "Don't blame the entire community!" Well, I never have. But those who have taken blame to themselves when none was appropriate have only themselves to blame. Those of you who are tearing this apart? You know damned well who you are. Shape up or ship out. And do it NOW!

So the thread went.
Jordan, I hope you have a great vacation. Unless you ask for advice about it in public your love life should stay private.
It seems we did whining instead of deciding, so my casting vote cast that thread into the outer darkness.
Since this one is not for discussion, not for objections, not for congratulations, I am locking it.

A wealthy hospital benefactor was being shown around the hospital.
During her tour she passed a room where a male patient was
masturbating furiously.
'Oh my GOD!' screamed the woman. 'That's disgraceful! Why is he doing
that?'
The doctor who was leading the tour calmly explained, 'I'm very sorry that
you were exposed to that, but this man has a serious condition where his
testicles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn't do that at least five
times a day, he'll be in extreme pain and his testicles could easily rupture.'
Oh, well in that case, I guess it's okay,' said the woman.
As they passed by the very next room, they saw a male patient laying in bed
while a male nurse performed oral sex on him. Again, the woman screamed, Oh
my GOD! How can THAT be justified?
Again the doctor spoke very calmly:
'Same illness, better insurance.'

AMAZING SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES
1. IF YOU'RE CHOKING ON AN ICE CUBE, SIMPLY POUR A CUP
OF BOILING WATER DOWN YOUR THROAT. PRESTO! THE BLOCKAGE WILL INSTANTLY
REMOVE ITSELF.
2. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY
GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.
3. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE
TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.
4. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT
YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR
VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.
5. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL
PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE
SNOOZE BUTTON.
6. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF
LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.
7. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT
TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE
AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
8. REMEMBER - EVERYONE SEEMS NORMAL UNTIL YOU GET TO
KNOW THEM.
9. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN
ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.

"Infinite Love", the Jerusalem Pride and Tolerance March, will be held on June 26th at 4pm.
The Jerusalem Pride and Tolerance March will be making news this year through non-news. Contrary to previous years, the Jerusalem Open House (JOH) leadership does not expect any riots against the march, something that we unfortunately became accustomed to in the past.
Yonatan Gher, Executive Director of the JOH, speaks of the intensive work that the leaders of the JOH have accomplished over recent months in order to reduce tension and violence in the city: "We have met with many public leaders of the Ultra-Orthodox communities, to promote understanding and especially to prevent unnecessary violence in the city. The Pride and Tolerance March will be held in the center of Jerusalem, but its conduct will demonstrate our obligation to work together with the police and religious leaders in order to reduce the unfounded hatred in Jerusalem. The Pride and Tolerance March is a test-case for democracy and for the ability to accept ‘the other.’ We too will be judged by this test and, with the march demonstrating the respect that the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi and trans) community has for all groups that live in our city."
The march will set off from Independence Park (Gan Haatzmaut) on Agron Street, continuing along King David Street, down to Liberty Bell Park (Gan Hapaamon), where we will conclude with a rally. The rally will mark the LGBT community´s call for equal rights for its members, and will be aimed at promoting love and tolerance in Jerusalem.
We have seen some success and advancement in acceptance and the rights of same-sex partners in issues such as inheritance and adoption. Still, we are struggling for full acceptance of same-sex partners and the equality of such couples to their heterosexual homologues. This, along with the acceptance of the right of the LGBT community to live their lives according to their belief. Since 2002, this is what has led the JOH to hold the annual Pride and Tolerance March in Jerusalem.
The JOH works throughout the year, and especially via the Pride and Tolerance March, to transform Jerusalem into a city where all human beings will have the right to be true to themselves and live their life freely. The JOH helps hundreds of members of the lesbian, gay, bi and trans community in Jerusalem, working with Israelis, Palestinians, Jews, Christians, Muslims and all other people who may need our services.
The March will be held on June 26th, which is also the 39th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York, where the seeds for the LGBT equality movement were sown.

Topic: Surrogate Parenthood
|
|
|
|
|
From Ynet
Four years ago, after they had been together for six happy years, Dror and Gil Zitat-Mandelbaum decided it was time to expand their family. As a homosexual couple they knew their options in Israel were limited. They could either try their luck with adoption agencies abroad or, if they found it important to have a biological child, contact a woman who would agree to be artificially inseminated by one of them, also abroad.
Each option came with its own specific problems, but they had no alternative. Unlike lesbian couples, who can start a family with a simple sperm donation, male couples are not blessed with the luxury of a womb.
"We tried to adopt for many years and through many agencies," Dror recounted. "We paid a lot of money but it didn't work out. We didn't know we had the option of a surrogate mother." Today Dror and Gil are fathers to a pair of 10-month old twins, given birth to by a surrogate mom.
The surrogate law in Israel, dubbed "the law of accords for the carriage of fetuses", states that in order to be eligible for a surrogate agreement, the parents must be "a man and woman defined as a couple" which, of course, does not include gay couples. The idea of contacting a surrogate abroad is relatively new and applies only to the US, where prices range from 100 to 150 thousand dollars, and India, where the standard price is about $30,000.
Ran Paul-Dayan, an Israeli living in the US with his partner, Greg, told Gil and Dror about this option. "They were the first couple who came to me with this problem," he said. "I told them about Circle Surrogacy, an American agency that provides surrogacy for gay couples and single people.
"A year ago 85% of the couples seeking the agency's help were local, but today over 40% are Israeli," said Paul-Dayan, who is currently the agency's Israeli contact and advisor. According to him, nine Israeli couples are currently "pregnant", nine others have recently signed on, and 20 more couples are currently being approved.
"The process undergone by a couple interested in surrogacy is very complex," Zitat-Mandelbaum explained. "There are a lot of legal documents, hundreds of checks, a lot of medical issues and a ton of bureaucracy. The process also includes two women – the egg donor and the surrogate. We contacted the agency and they took care of everything."
He added that both the mothers and the egg donors could be chosen by the parents-to-be according to extensive profiles, including pictures, sent to them via email. The couple can also choose to visit the mother during the pregnancy. Gil and Dror were so impressed with the process that they are currently planning a second surrogate pregnancy. However when asked whether they were hoping for twins again Gil answered, "No. Once was enough."

Angel with black wings, she stares at the moon waiting for the time where they will be reunited at last. Deep across the ocean, another one is waiting as well. The simple things in life truly are worthwhile. These curtains of beauty we hide ourselves in, are only covering up our own shining truths. Each is beautiful in his own right. It's only natural to be in love. For such a thing, some would do very much everything. Being with someone is not weakness, nor is being vulnerable, for only then can the true colours be shown for all to see. Knowing someone loves you is the happiness you've shown me.

A NUN WAS SITTING AT THE AIRPORT, WAITING FOR HER FLIGHT TO CHICAGO. SHE LOOKED OVER IN THE CORNER AND SAW ONE OF THOSE WEIGHT MACHINES THAT TELLS YOUR FORTUNE AND THOUGHT TO HERSELF, 'I'LL GIVE IT A TRY AND SEE WHAT IT TELLS ME.'
SHE WENT OVER TO THE MACHINE, STEPPED UP ON THE SCALE AND PUT HER NICKEL IN. OUT CAME A CARD THAT READ, 'YOU ARE A NUN, YOU WEIGH 128 LBS, AND YOU ARE GOING TO CHICAGO '
THE NUN SAT BACK DOWN. SHE TOLD HERSELF THAT THE MACHINE PROBABLY GIVES THE SAME CARD TO EVERYONE. THE MORE SHE THOUGHT ABOUT IT THE MORE CURIOUS SHE GOT SO SHE DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN.
SHE WENT BACK TO THE MACHINE AND AGAIN PUT HER NICKEL IN, AND OUT CAME A CARD THAT READ, 'YOU ARE A NUN, YOU WEIGH 128 LBS, YOU ARE GOING TO CHICAGO AND YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY A FIDDLE.'
THE NUN SAYS TO HERSELF, 'I KNOW THAT IS WRONG, I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT EVEN ONCE IN MY LIFE.' SHE SAT BACK DOWN.
FROM OUT OF NOWHERE A COWBOY CAME OVER AND SAT DOWN, PUTTING HIS FIDDLE CASE ON THE SEAT BETWEEN THEM. WITHOUT THINKING, SHE OPENED THE COWBOY'S CASE, TOOK OUT THE FIDDLE, AND STARTED PLAYING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
SURPRISED AT WHAT SHE HAD DONE, SHE LOOKED OVER AT THE MACHINE, THINKING, 'THIS IS INCREDIBLE, I'VE GOT TO TRY THIS AGAIN.'
BACK TO THE MACHINE SHE WENT, PUT IN ANOTHER NICKEL, AND ANOTHER CARD CAME OUT. IT READ, 'YOU ARE A NUN, YOU WEIGH 128 LBS , YOU ARE GOING TO CHICAGO AND YOU ARE GOING TO BREAK WIND.'
NOW SHE KNOWS THE MACHINE IS WRONG AS SHE THOUGHT TO HERSELF, 'I'VE NEVER BROKEN WIND IN PUBLIC A SINGLE TIME IN MY LIFE.' BUT GETTING DOWN OFF THE MACHINE SHE SLIPPED, AND AS SHE WAS STRAINING TO KEEP HERSELF FROM FALLING TO THE FLOOR, SHE BROKE WIND.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNED, SHE SAT BACK DOWN AND LOOKED AT THE MACHINE. SHE SAID TO HERSELF, 'THIS IS TRULY REMARKABLE. I'VE GOT TO TRY THIS ONE MORE TIME.'
SHE WENT BACK TO THE MACHINE, PUT IN ANOTHER NICKEL, AND ANOTHER CARD CAME OUT. IT READ,

In the year 2008, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.
Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans"
He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights."
Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.
"Noah!" He roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?"
"Forgive me, Lord," begged Noah, "but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I've been arguing with the inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I've violated the neigh borhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.
Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for theArk's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.
Getting the wood was another problem. There's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!
When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me.
They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.
Then the EPA ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they'd conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.
I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I'm supposed to hire for my building crew.
Immigration and Naturalization are checking the green-card status of most of the people who want to work.
The trades unions say I can't use my sons. They insist I have to hire only Union workers with Ark-building experience.
To make matters worse, the IRS seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species.
So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."
Suddenly the skies cleared, the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky. Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world?"
"No," said the Lord. "The government beat me to it."

Topic: Of boots and hats

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas .
Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife,
"Notice anything different about me?"
Margaret looked him over. "Nope."
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back
into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, "Notice anything
different NOW?"
Margaret looked up and exclaimed, "Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow!"
Furious, Bert yelled, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?"
"Nope," she replied.
"IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!"
Without changing her expression, Margaret replied, "Shoulda bought a hat,
Bert. Shoulda bought a hat..."

He became so rich that he gave his best friend a top of the line Mercedes for his birthday.'
The second guy said, 'Darn, that's terrific! My son is also my pride and joy. He started working for a big airline, then went to flight school to become a pilot. Eventually he became a partner in the company, where he owns the majority of its assets He's so rich that he gave his best friend a brand new jet for his birthday.'
The third man said: 'Well, that's terrific! My son studied in the best universities and became an engineer. Then he started his own construction company and is now a multimillionaire. He also gave away something very nice and expensive to his best friend for his birthday: A 30,000 square foot mansion.'
The three friends congratulated each other just as the fourth returned from the restroom and asked: 'What are all the congratulations for?'
One of the three said: 'We were talking about the pride we feel for the successes of our sons. ...What about your son?'
The fourth man replied: 'My son is gay and makes a living dancing as a stripper at a nightclub.'
The three friends said: 'What a shame... what a disappointment.'
The fourth man replied: 'No, I'm not ashamed. He's my son and I love him. And he hasn't done too bad either. His birthday was two weeks ago, and he received a beautiful 30,000 square foot mansion, a brand new jet and a top of the line Mercedes from his three boyfriends.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

I took my girl to the high school prom;
It was a social hop.
We waited till the kids got out,
And the music it did stop.
Then to a restaurant we went,
The best one on the street.
She said she wasn't hungry
But this is what she ate.
A dozen raw, a plate of slaw,
A chicken and a roast,
Some applesauce and asparagus,
And soft-shell crabs on toast.
A Boston stew, and crackers too;
Why, her appetite was immense!
But when she called for pie,
I thought I'd die,
For I had but fifty cents!
She said she wasn't hungry
And didn't care to eat,
But I've money in my clothes
To bet she can't be beat.
She took it in so cozy,
She had an awful tank.
She said she wasn't thirsty
But this is what she drank.
A whisky skin, a glass of gin,
Which made me shake with fear,
A ginger pop, with rum on top,
A schooner then of beer,
A glass of ale, a gin cocktail.
She should have had more sense.
When she called for more
I fell on the floor
For I had but fifty cents!
Of course I wasn't hungry
And didn't care to eat,
Expecting every moment
To be kicked into the street.
She said she'd fetch her family round,
And then we'd have some fun,
Then I gave the man my fifty cents,
This is what he done:
He tore my clothes,
He smashed my nose,
He hit me on the jaw,
He gave me a prize
Of a pair of black eyes
And with me swept the floor.
He took me where my pants hung loose,
And threw me over the fence.
Now take my advice, don't try it twice
If you've got but fifty cents!
From the 1880's sometime, with slight alterations. )

We have just been clearing out the trash. For a while we have been the quiet target of spam registrations here. There are folks who register with a stream of web links but never participate because their desire is to generate links.
We've just cleared a whole slew of these out, and MAY have inadvertently deleted YOU at the same time. That's ok. You can re-register if unable to use your existing login (take NO ACTION if you can log in still!).
Those registering now have to go through a CAPTCHA process, a process which should minimise automatic registrations (which 99% of these were)

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas.
Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife,
'Notice anything different about me?'
Margaret looked him over. 'Nope.'
Frustrated, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back
into the kitchen completely naked except for the boots.
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, 'Notice anything
different NOW?'
Margaret looked up and exclaimed, 'Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow!'
Furious, Bert yelled, 'AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, MARGARET?'
'Nope', she replied.
'IT'S HANGING DOWN, BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!!!!'
Without changing her expression, Margaret replied, 'Shoulda bought a hat,
Bert. Shoulda bought a hat...'

Swimming knife in treasures fold
Beneath the waters of the old and gone
Set apart the stony grime
What one was a broken candle light
Twisted nature takes her call
to those who wish to see it all
Riding upon the waves of sand
We enjoy the midnight bliss with our hands
Cut short by the tides rising turn
We come to close the gap in yearn
Wondering where and when we'll be
Gasping upon those giant palm trees
So tall and so wide
Enough to reach your eyes for miles
Suddenly taken adrift the cold waters
We wait for our stop, anxious as the summer's daughter
Who is waiting at the shores for a long lost love
To capture and free her from her lonely sins above
Laughter lost, now all is quiet
As he rides along the shores
Eagerly waiting to take her in his arms
To embrace and protect her until his time has come
Such love was meant to be from the start
Some might even call it an art
Yet in these times I call to you friend
Do not let your heart be frozen
Heal with time so take it slow
and then maybe someday, maybe even you'll know...
21.
Love who you want to.

Take in the Origins of Time and Space
Relish in mankind's disasters
Such is a pitiable fool, he who plays with time's magic
As such, punishment is unavoidable,
And shall not be tolerated; For he who tampers with the flow of time,
He shall endure a thousand deaths and then some
A punishment indescribable awaits him.
Taken from the wings of a child,
She now awaits the harmonious merge
Of the soul who brought her out of darkness
Tranquility shall she have; a temporary mirage of peace
Then shall she be free of all things -an empty slate-
With which to write on
The patters of her dreams..
~End~

Pulse your fingertips through the water
Forget about the finer things in life
Slash the ancient memories to pieces
And move on, as not to forget
The blood-stained corpse you left behind
The corpse that one had life,
Now floats in an empty stream
Dry of the life that once was
Repeat the past mistakes in a different way
So as not to forgive what is unforgivable
Turn the flower in your hand and walk..
Walk on.
21.
Love who you want to.

Here's a song I thought it was amazing 
Just so the idiots among you know
