Confucius Jones from the 'hood might could have said that. Or perhaps Ricardo has an alt named Confucius.  Well, whoever first said it, it makes a lot of sense to me. Funny |

Maybe. Nice guys already finish last. They don't need you kicking them when they are down. But, feel free; it's apparently a free country to laugh at and berate other people around here. Oh wow you must have got up on the wrong side of the treasure pile, I was teasing on the whole issue. I think you were reading a lot into what I was saying. --------- Here, a scene from an obscure Sci Movie that somehow everyone has seen. It describes what I meant plainly enough. Han Solo: Hey, Your Worship, I'm only trying to help. Princess Leia: Would you please stop calling me that? Han Solo: Sure, Leia. Princess Leia: You make it so difficult sometimes. Han Solo: I do, I really do. You could be a little nicer, though. Come on, admit it. Sometimes you think I'm all right. Princess Leia: Occasionally, maybe... when you aren't acting like a scoundrel. Han Solo: Scoundrel? Scoundrel? I like the sound of that. [Han starts to massage Leia's hand] Princess Leia: Stop that. Han Solo: Stop what? Princess Leia: [timidly] Stop that. My hands are dirty. Han Solo: My hands are dirty, too. What are you afraid of? Princess Leia: Afraid? Han Solo: You're trembling. Princess Leia: I'm not trembling. [Han moves in closer] Han Solo: You like me because I'm a scoundrel. There aren't enough scoundrels in your life. Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men. Han Solo: I'm a nice man. Princess Leia: No, you're not. You're... [they kiss] |

I accept that she has different views, I simply object to the one-sided generalization The reason it was a one side generalization is I wasn't being nearly as serious as you surmised. |

He didn't? And all these years here I thought he had. What a ripoff! That's what you get for buying books on Eastern philosophy at swap meets. Pretty much anything that's between a stall selling Rolexx watches and a stall selling Nikke running shoes is going to give you nothing but trouble. Except churros. Swap meet churros are the BEST food on earth. _____________________

The decision to use voice verification for new applicants was a joint one. All of the members of the community agreed that we would be more comfortable knowing the gender of a newcomer, and we make no apology for that. The numbber of applicants in itself did not decline, but when we asked for voice verification during the interview around 50% declined. We still had no problem at all filling all roles from the remaining 50%, and we are all very comfortable now, and many of our members now use Voice regularly, and Skype with each other. I look forward to your next event. While my voice would never pass as a woman's, I know some men that can pass with ease. They will enjoy coming to your next homophobic event. Many of us remember the Voice scare back last spring when people were sure that voice would be forced on them for gender verification. I along with so many others went to great lengths arguing that only the most paranoid and homophobic would ever consider doing such a thing. Thanks for proving me right! Amen. Pretty sad in 2008 _____________________

Not unless there's snacks. Seriously, have you been following this at all? Even gay guys need snacks at their parties. It's universal. I was all over the snack situation in that other thread and got nowhere at all. I even gave up my favorite snack recipe. Nothing. What Rock needs is a good snack recipe booklet. I like shrimp. Meatballs are good as well. Really, a bag of trailmix from the Costco will do just fine. _____________________

Talarus,
I really wasn't trying to be rude to you on the gentlemen comments, but instead just being a bit silly, a continuation of earlier comments in this thread that were not serious criticisms. I am sorry for leading and contributing further to the misunderstanding. Of course men and women share equal blame on how they relate to each other. |

My panties were all in a knot. I tried to find the original thread to see what you were talking about. Wasn't there a thread originally posted about Seeking Ten Guys? I can't find it. Did it vanish? _____________________

I'm glad I made you laugh. You sounded like you needed it. Edit - Colette beat me to it. Frankly, I think asking if I could bring a date was hilarious. I'm not bringing her if there aren't snacks! Otherwise I have to buy her dinner! Heh. Awful. _____________________

I am sorry for leading and contributing further to the misunderstanding. Of course men and women share equal blame on how they relate to each other. I apologize as well. It was my fault I missed the context, and kinda seized on it due to my own experiences. I know you didn't mean any harm. I'll be taking a little break from the forums to get some work done. Be good to one another while I am gone.  |

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things. Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut. |

I was all over the snack situation in that other thread and got nowhere at all. I even gave up my favorite snack recipe. Nothing. Seriously, that was your favorite recipe? Snack wieners in little cream cheese boats? Wrapped in bacon or ... It's not only obscenely caloric dude, it's just plain obscene! *laughs* As for Rock's group being icky because they use voice or want actual men or women in roles or have 22 pets [who the petmaster says won't mess around (lol well certainly not while they're at his island!)] ... it sounds to me like they have a nice little RP club going, and they enjoy the rules. No one's asking any of the rest of us to join, all he asked was that some guys do him a favor and go to a regular dance. I don't see Eben chiming in to say he's been brainwashed and is wearing silks now or anything Why should the rest of us rain on their parade? . |

Jalapeños were involved too. Sounded like japaleno poppers with cream cheese and bacon I thought. I always liked those poppers. (the regular kind) |

I'm shocked at you! You know me (you were supposed to judge my pole dancing at the forum hangout and we've discussed land before,) you know I'm queer as a football bat, and I can guarantee you that Rock and his friends are anything BUT homophobic. If they were, my fairy ass wouldn't be looking forward to the next dance. Seriously, I think the voice verification is more a matter of knowing that people are honest with them. Hell, if I were paying for other people's skins, clothes, etc...etc..., I'd want to know that they told me the truth. Oh, and for the person a few pages back...Anderson Cooper is *so* "teh secksi!" |

I'm sorry to shock you, Eben. You can spank me later.  First I'll admit it was an empty threat. Simply was trying to get a point across. The evil side of me says it would be fun though. I guess I'll just never "get" other peoples perspectives of SL. I accept everyone for who they choose to be. To me that is the magnificent thing about SL. I understand that may not be the case for others. I will never understand that if it was just a dance why it would ever matter to anyone at all. I'd have to say there's still a bit of homophobia to gender verify for just a dance. Or maybe gender-phobic is a better word. But, I admit, even I have homophobic and racial issues and I'm practically perfect in every way. Now, if people were hoping for possibilities to go beyond just a dance then I get it. SL relationships are also something I'll never understand, but I don't discount them in any way. Just not my thing and the last thing we need is another thread about them. Lastly, to my friend Trout. I hope you keep a defibrillator handy for that nasty concoction you call a snack. My stomach is queasy from reading the description. _____________________
