I think there are two separate wrongs here. Breaching privacy, and the evil that these closeted parasites do to our community while enjoying their benefits. I don't think negating the one (parasite) excuses the other (breaching privacy), but I think anybody who calls an escort and presumes that they won't out you is remarkably naive and probably shouldn't have called them in the first place. I expect discretion from those I hire, but I have mentally prepared myself for the alternative. Fortunately for me, if any of them tried to out me to my wife, she'd laugh and say, "Why do you think I married him? Isn't he fabulous?" (Ok, maybe she wouldn't be so witty, but that's about the answer they'd get.)

We enjoyed the heck out of the Borgia's too, and are looking forward to season 2. The stable boy was an angel!

I agree that the author finds the behavior distasteful, but then so do I. The Catholic church is awash in a sea of hypocrisy, but I don't think that excuses priests who sign up to walk the walk, but then don't. Of course, as an Atheist, I think that's pretty par for the religious course!

I think most of us have ADD for porn. If not initially, we get there. I love the fake amateur stuff like Fraternity X, though I've gotten finicky about cinematography. If you can't keep the camera from getting blurry and shaking around, I don't want to watch! I used to love Belami, but nowadays I need to see models who can at least fake like they're really enjoying each other rather than the limp dicked bottoms that Belami always has. And I still love classic william higgins. I beat off to his work ~30 years ago, and it is still hot as heck to me now!

Boy, I sympathize. I'm in oregon and we've had a grey cold summer so far. We got a community garden and have 9 tomato plants... all of which are still trying to get beyond green tomatoes. I stopped by the local farmer again for some fresh beets and some cherry tomatoes. His couple of full size tomatoes were far too green for me to buy. But the squash casserole tonight took me back to my childhood, so it's all good!

The only way I like canned tuna is in tuna fish salad, which I usually avoid since it takes something healthy and drowns it in mayo. I love tuna sushi though!

One of the things I like about summer is farmer's markets. Coming home with fresh stuff, and cooking a great dinner. Today was fresh corn, sauted in butter with salt and black pepper. Roasted beets. Flank steak in a spanish marinade. The farmer had run out of carrots, so walked across the drive and pulled me some fresh. Tomorrow I'll cook up the summer squash. What do you love about summer?

Political posts may generate a great deal of activity, but they generate very little light. I don't want to engage in such and prefer they be segregated.

Well, those boots are fabulous and oh so butch, and the face mask will get you into bars on S&M night. Plus now you get to write your tell all: "My Years Under Lex Luthor: What The Bald Man Did to Me" Or "Why the Riddler Riddled"

It was worse in the days of FFF when people competed, it seemed to me, to say hateful things under the guise of being clever. Now, it seems to ebb and flow, but still is there. I've been on the internet for nearly 30 years at this point, and the anonymous bitching no longer appeals. I enjoyed being 'arch' as my english friends would say in my 20s. These days, not so much.

The tone at Daddy's never appealed to me. Bitchy cruel isn't my thing. I left a few years ago as well. I read sometimes, but I no longer post.

Since the question was about the last decade, I wouldn't rate MS very highly. They haven't done much significant in the last 10 years. the 80s were the period of the rise of the PC and I think you'd have to give that decade to MS and IBM.

I don't hate apple, though apparently to you anyone who isn't in awe of them does. As I said, I own an iPhone. It's a good device. But the most impactful tech company? Seriously? They make a great smart phone. They make a great tablet computer. Cisco has been instrumental in building out the infrastructure of the internet. Amazon has taught the world the world how to use the internet to transform shopping, in the process completely transforming the publishing industry. Google has transformed the way we look for information. The list goes on. Apple isn't in that league in impacting the tech industry.

I'm in the electronics business. Apple is glitter. They do good engineering and UI, but there isn't anything fundamentally breakthrough about them. Their PCs have 3% marketshare. I have an iphone and it is good stuff, but most impactful tech company. No. They just happen to have a big consumer brand.

I was in vietnam a few years ago. Contacted one of the escorts, we met for drinks, but as I had someone with me, we couldn't use our room, and he had no alternatives to offer. Even the bar we had a few drinks at wasn't really gay at all. Good luck, but I found nothing. real wasteland.

Maybe Cisco for Infrastructure. Google for net navigation and monetization. Definitely not Apple. They have some cute devices (I carry an iphone), but nowhere in the ball park of most impact.

If I were Bi, and thought she was hot, I would have screwed her, provided I knew that we would not cross paths professionally again (no chance of her becoming a student again). She may be lying to you, but that's her business as far as I'm concerned. You don't need to project any values onto her relationship with her husband. Of course, that may be colored by the fact that I'm married to a woman and am gay. My wife has known since forever that I was a faggot. We were friends in college and finally figured out that we were soul mates, we just didn't want to fuck. So we got married, are very happy, and I look elsewhere for sex. The idea that everyone out there has these white picket fence monogamy relationships is bullshit, and I don't think it is other people's business how people attend to that part of their relationship. Take care of your own, and let other people take care of theirs.

Well, if you want Japanese men, then I would have to agree Tokyo is the best place, being such a huge city. And as others suggested, Nara, Kyoto, Nikko and other places are all very cool. Personally, I find Korean and Chinese men much hotter!

I've been to both, and I'd suggest that the Japanese are less racist than having all having a huge fear of being embarrassed. They know how to treat each other, but they don't really know what to do with you, so they pretend you don't exist. I speak (well I did then anyway, hugely rusty these days) Japanese which smoothed things a great deal, but I learned over time that there were bars for foreigners and even if I spoke Japanese, it was best if I went where people wanted to meet me, rather than to places where they just got uncomfortable.

Tokyo is boring, trust me I lived there, but there are some neat places in Japan. It may be less boring now, it's been a couple of decades since I lived there, but the trains used to shut down at midnight, so night life was limited. There isn't much history left. The allies firebombed it all into rubble. It is a city of concrete. Lots and lots of grey. Start with Kyoto, the ancient capitol. For myself, pretty much everywhere I haven't been. But Rio would be high on the list thanks to this forum!

Handsome young inmates with balls full of cum. I think it is mighty charitable of the deacon to help these young men out. Attend to their needs... repeatedly. Give them a little pocket change in exchange for a little pocket pool.

I would report them. Out there, somewhere, is a kid that didn't get into school because this guy soaked up his scholarship. The fact that you don't know their name doesn't mean there isn't a victim here.

Heathers is an awesome movie.

Define 'complicit' in this context. Goldman sold people what they wanted to buy at the prices that they were willing to pay. That they didn't think the market was rational and bet against it to cover themselves doesn't mean they did anything wrong by selling people what they wanted. It means that they were smarter than the people they were selling to. They had no obligation to act in their customers best interest. They were selling to investors who should have been sophisticated enough to understand and analyze the instrument they were buying. If they weren't that sophisticated, they shouldn't have bought. The greedy sheep were all chasing the yields of these instruments and then complained when the slaughter began. You can't legislate away stupidity and greed which were the real drivers behind all this.

I too used to be fascinated by this house. The idea of the intimacy with the water enthralled me. But after touring it, I became less fascinated. I still love the concept of the house, but it really didn't feel very liveable to me.
