    This sounds weird but I had a dream a few weeks ago that he was poz and so I made a different account and he admitted to that account that he was poz. 

    You really need to clarify whether all of that was in the dream, or whether the part after the "and so" actually happened.

    Also, if you want to discuss bugchasing more than obliquely, please use the report function to ask a moderator to move this topic to the Backroom.

    If somebody blocks access to Jewish student to university because of his religion, specifically because of actions happening in countries on the other side of the world, then it is definitely not a fault of any media.

    On the other hand, if the media report that pro-Palestinian protesters are "blocking access to Jewish students" when really the protesters are blocking the access of everyone, then the media are definitely contributing to the problem. Hence the need to assess the facts carefully before condemning anyone.

    Btw...does anybody else here realize that couple years back, it was absolute NO to have a political topics on sex site? Do we contribute to religious hatred or propaganda by having them? On the site dedicated to gay bareback sex?

    On BZ we try VERY HARD not to contribute to hatred, propaganda, and other things that harm our community. Certain forums get extra attention from the moderation staff for that reason.

    Dr. Jack Kevorkian was ... a great man.

    Where are you from?

    He's in the UK - mentioned offhandedly in the first post in the thread. I had to look for it, though; it seemed initially that the information was not available. Presuming, of course that his current residency is the same as his "home country", which it might well not be.

    Does beg the question of what traumatic horrors the local Muslim residents have inflicted on London. At least by comparison with other maladies.

  4. Did you try any other sites that use one of the new top-level domains? It might simply be that whatever local/regional ISP you were connected to hasn't implemented that system yet. It's not insanely new, but still less than a decade old if I remember right.

     

  5. My answer to the OP's title question: no, I won't.

    Firstly, we have troubles of our own over on this side of the pond.

    Secondly, fundamentalist Mosaic religions of any of the three main branches are prone to totalitarianism, discrimination, and denigration of the "other", and as such I despise them all more or less equally.  If I pay a bit more attention to Christianity it's because I live in West-By-God-Virginia and see it every damned day.  If Judaism has less blood on its hands it's because they've been dispersed over the face of the Earth for the last two thousand years, so they haven't had the luxury of armies, Crusades, and Jihads.

    Thirdly, the hypothetical is extremely unlikely in the European Union as it exists today.

    And let's not forget that Spain has been there already, though it was a while back.

    Does it even matter anymore "Liberal" vs "Conservative"  Shoot the Rs don't even have a platform to publish- just a vague "whatever the orange jeezus says".  

    This is more like rooting for sports teams than how our government is managed.  Utter BS

    You must have had your curmudgeon pills this morning...

    I feel your pain. Perhaps both of us would do better to focus on getting laid. Or failing that, getting off? My, how my standards are slipping!

  7. To attach a photo to your forum post, just use the paperclip tool in the lower left, or the "Other Media" button in the lower right, of the post.

    Note that there is a disk space limit on your aggregate attachments. You can get around this by posting your images in the galleries and then attaching them to the post. It can be rather finicky to get this to work, but the basic idea is to use the "Insert Existing Attachment" choice from the "Other Media" button, and then select your gallery image as the source.

    Seemingly 'innocuous' items can also work. For example:

    • Long (football) socks - can be used to blindfold; gag & bind (tied around the limbs or encase both limbs inside a single sock).
    • Surgically tight; rubber gloves - encase both hands (some lube required) inside a single glove. The effectiveness of this can be increased when applied to hands held behind the back, and / or by the addition of a second glove (encasing the first).

    Reminds me of my student days. We slept on futons on the floor, and when one bought the futon it had a couple of straps that held it rolled up for storage. They were about an inch wide by four feet long strips of heavy cotton fabric. And of course once the futon was unrolled for sleeping, they were conveniently available for other purposes. It was a trivial matter to insert a couple of screw eyes into the baseboards...

    Granted. It also shows how things have changed; back then, the rich and powerful wanted to keep the vote for themselves. Now they're happy to share it with the Great Unwashed Morons as long as they're white and (mostly) Southern.

    Of course they are. Or with anyone else who is easily manipulated. Doing it that way keeps the power almost as firmly in their hands, and has much better optics.

    What or who are "Reddit /askgaybro and by YTube pundits like Brad Polumbo."?  We never had those in the 1960's.

    Reddit (/ˈrɛdɪt/) is an American social news aggregation, content rating, and forum social network. Registered users (commonly referred to as "Redditors") submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "communities" or "subreddits". Submissions with more upvotes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough upvotes, ultimately on the site's front page. Reddit administrators moderate the communities. Moderation is also conducted by community-specific moderators, who are not Reddit employees.[5] It is operated by Reddit, Inc., based in San Francisco.[6][7] [from Wikipedia]

    Like BZ, only with every topic under the sun, each in its own subreddit.

     

    YTube is of course YouTube (you knew that). X (formerly known as Twitter) appears to be the ascendant platform for video content these days, but perhaps TikTok is winning since Musk bought it? Pick your flavor of the month, any serious content will be mirrored to all of them...

     

    Brad Polumbo (@Brad_Polumbo) is a libertarian-conservative journalist and the co-founder of BASEDPolitics. He was Policy Correspondent at FEE from 2020 to 2022.

    His work has been cited by top lawmakers such as Senator Rand Paul, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Pat Toomey, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Congressman Thomas Massie, and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, as well as by prominent media personalities such as Jordan Peterson, Sean Hannity, Dave Rubin, Ben Shapiro, and Mark Levin. Brad has also testified before the US Senate, appeared on Fox News and Fox Business, and written for publications such as USA Today, National Review, Newsweek, and the Daily Beast. He hosts the Breaking Boundaries podcast and has a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. [from the Foundation for Economic Education web site]

    i do however live a very white life in a very white country that is very segregated. 

    unfortunately, i'm also attracted to men of color (and often, them to me).

    Was this a typo and you perhaps meant very white county that is very segregated in the US?

    lol if you want to believe the USA is one big melting-pot love-fest where the average person's dinner party looks like a Beneton ad, knock yourself out. but statistics don't lie.

    @norefusal - I believe @topblkmale actually was trying to clarify whether your first post (quoted above) was referring to a COUNTY (in a US state) as rather than a COUNTRY (elsewhere in the world), the latter having been the way I also first read it. It was not a question about the segregation (which is a very real thing for much of the US, especially the large part of it more than 100 miles from the coast).

    If there’s merely a premise that I look like someone or are otherwise part of a class of people that might have victimized someone or a distant relative, then that drifts toward collective punishment and creates a toxic culture that encourages people to assume the worst in each other.

    I agree with this. Rhetoric or policies that wander into this territory are a form of liberal extremism that causes more problems than it counters, no matter if the intent is to benefit.

    Quote

    I often find the current version of woke to be more about taking something from another class of people rather than a mentality of abundance.

    Disagree here, unless we're talking about "taking something" from a class of people who got that something by systematic exploitation of another class of people (aka taxing the plutocrats). It's well and good to operate from a mentality of abundance, but when that abundance is arrogated by a few people to the detriment of others, it seem legitimate to me to advocate some kind of corrective action.
