lol - I can't believe we're using glory hole sex as a discussion point for states' rights. Thomas Jefferson is spinning in his grave like a top.

The basic answer is in our name. We are one nation comprised of a union of several states. Each state governs itself and subscribes to the laws of the nation. Think of us as 50 individual countries who are united as one and governed not just by the laws of the individual states, but also by the laws we have agreed to abide by on a national level. We are "united states".

I'm pretty sure that I also saw a subscribtion to Cat Fancy on Virginia's table.

In the USA ladies are alowed to go into book shops and have a cock thro a hole, there is no such thing in uk except in a few licensed and policed swinging clubs!

In all seriousness WTF are you talking about? Wow, all those times I went to Borders and I didn't partake in that option.

I'm starting to wonder if this is really still happening or if kid AVs are just shell-shocked. I haven't been taller than 4'4" for months and that's only because I'm usually wearing platform boots. My shoeless height is 3'11". I have a tall shape that I made myself but I feel nervous in it.


There has been a *lot* less trouble, IMO. I've taken to doing a lot more exploring lately -- more than I have in months -- and have not faced the troubles being out and about that I did, say, in mid-2007!

It's really the only place I can find people that are Anime fans that aren't fixated on Naruto, Bleach, or One Piece... Bleagh!!!! (>_<;)


I'm much more old school on that. Gimme the works of Miyazaki or Tesuka!

You got it hun, I eat little boys for dinner. Slips his head into the 8-track and watches it eat him. Knows he must be a very old man if he knows what an 8-track is. I think I saw one on tv before.

Must be an old? I know what an 8-track is and I'm not that old . . . I am soo old. I'm going to rest my tired old bones over here on this nice comfy bookstore sofa. Wow, look at that hole over there, the mice in here must have the ability to fly. Why is the woman kneeling in front of that hole? Her mouth is opening. She just captured a mouse! Wow.

38. But I had really cheap parents who refused to upgrade, so I was just glad we weren't listening on a reel to reel machine. My dad thought Betamax was the WAVE OF THE FUTURE...

Way to go, Pops.

Sigh. Rotten childhood. No wonder I'm a wreck.

Those things are neat. A few years ago I heard some family members talking on a reel to reel machine from the 1920s.

Short answer: yes.

The irony is how many of these stations tell you what a "horrorshow" the internet is, then turn around and say "and visit our web page" or "come to our area in Second Life to discuss this issue!"

Eventually, like I hinted at above, all this scaremongering will lose its edge, and the *real* ills will be lost amid the trumped up issues. Let's also not forget: most cases of abuse are *still* perpetuated by family members, not random strangers on the Inner-Tubes -- unlike what the media might wish you to believe.

Mari

They point and gasp at the cartoon "freak show" of SL and wonder why they lose viewers to the internet as they offer a constantly expanding diet of freakshows of their own....aka "reality television". And every day these so called "journalists" and their news shows become less and less relevant.

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.

Sorry, I post again! perhaps you "free americans" should read post (163) 3 or 4 times, posted by Rene, this country is at war with pedos in the uk these last few years...they close down, investigate, arrest, confiscate computers, even my boot/trunk of my car was searched at a market last year, because some idiot saw childrens screen savers on my table!, and thought I was selling child porn!!, all the customs officers found were screen savers, scooby doo, disney, poo bear, spider man etc etc....they apologise, but it very upsetting, my wife was in tears most of the way back home!! almost anything remotely linked to child abuse/porn....they will make it very difficult for us to access SL soon, its only a matter of time.

On ebay, i have tried many times, using different names for certain things, but it never works, because as soon as u log in, your region where u live brings up the window saying your not allowed to view or purchase this item!

You americans should be very glad u dont live here!!!

bye

You need to be a member of the Borders Book Club. Not only do you get coupons in your email, but you also get access to special "members only" benefits.

I agree about the reel to reel machines. They are pretty cool. I'd like to have one just to play with it, especially if I had some really old reels of interesting stuff. Actually, a reel to reel projector would be kind of fun, too. I love that kind of stuff.

To the OP: You have replies in this thread from people all over the world, including the UK, where you live. Please stop blaming Americans for your frustration. We're to blame for all sorts of legitimate problems, so why not pick one of those? I'm sure there are people here who will help you learn to hate the US in a much more accurate fashion.

You aren't getting serious replies because you aren't making much sense. It's very difficult to pick the substance out of your posts when they are so disjointed, inflamatory and difficult to read. Also, you can't just go to bookstores in the US and stick your stuff through a hole and expect to get anything other than arrested. Seriously. I don't know where you got your impression of the US, but what you're describing makes no sense at all.

You know, this is quite funny. I am friends with a Metro Officer who works in London. Last spring she arrested a pedo who was sitting in a public area looking at kiddy porn on his laptop. She was quite upset at the things she saw. Well actually her supervisor made her arrest him. She was quite willing to let the pub patrons handle the matter on their own. But for the poor bloke's safety she took him to jail.

And u are the most ignorant person too.

How would u like it, if a police officer searched your car for child porn for no good reason, perhaps u would like to offer an apology to my wife who had to endure this experiance!

I know u wont, because i can tell you havent got an ounce of compassion or understanding on whats it like to be accused of selling child porn!

I'm not saying you're wrong necessarily, or that your government isn't stringent about this kind of thing. What I AM saying is you're posting all sorts of information irrelevant to whether SL is going to 'shut down' due to pseudo-pedophilia, and then getting irritated when people talk about the extraneous info. If you want them to stay on topic, stay on topic yourself.

See - this is what I meant by you not making any sense. Did Max search your car? Did he hurt your wife? Why in the world would he apologize? He didn't do anything! And what on earth does this have to do with Second Life? BTW, as near as I can tell, max is not American. It's ok, we still love him, but you can't blame this one on us. We were all busy running off to the Barnes and Noble to look for the glory holes that you seem to think litter the landscape here.

It's from Gritty Kitty, but it was a Valentine's special, so I'm not sure if they're still out. It comes with an animated version to sit on your shoulder too, in case you're not feeling hungry at the moment. ;)

Do any of you remember the thread a while back started by a little old lady vigilante?
Both these threads and OPs resemble each other. If they are not the same person, they should get together...

@Ann, cute vid!!!
