Zipperzone, it says that he is trying to create publicity that would give the hint of heterosexuality with no real evidence. Gay, gay, gay! On the other hand, I thought you got busted for going into a brothel, not for leaving it.

Occasionally, I forget that Totally Oz is a lawyer. I won't forget today! I hope that no one gets banned and that we all treat each other with respect, even when we disagree.

Yes, in my question, it is. The mayor, I think, claims only the one time use while in office. Although I doubt that, I think his alcohol problems alone interfere with his ability to do his job. I see 12 steps in his future.

It will eventually be forced on the hold-out states by a federal court.

Say useless, how are the conversational Spanish lessons coming along? Muy bien, yo espero. I took Conversational Spanish 4 times, repeating the entry level class each time. I can get by in Spanish, but it's rather laughable. Once upon a time, while walking with a new friend in Acapulco, he told me that my Spanish was awful. But, I replied, it was good enough to get you to my hotel room! We both laughed, and he agreed that I was right. I realize that you may not have started yet, so I posted just to see, and to encourage you to follow through.

Hasn't tomcal's return been a real boost to this forum? I am so glad that he is back to posting here.

Does everyone accept this gal's statement that testing for sexual disease and HIV is rare in gay porn? Her whole premise seems to be that such testing will decline if condoms are mandatory because people will think that they are playing safely. I don't agree, since it's a well-known fact that condoms are not complete protection and most performers know- or should know- that fact.

We have as a society become more tolerant of politicians past mistakes. Obama, for example, admitted to using cocaine. Once upon a time, divorce would be a dis-qualifier. But I agree that this mayor is so laden with problems, he should be using all of his faculties to do his job. There have been plenty of politicians with cocaine problems, but when caught they usually resign and go into rehab so that they can run again as "reformed."

I would rather you had won it.

He may be an all-round sleaze ball, but who cares if in the past he smoked some crack? http://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Toronto-mayor-admits-crack-use-plans-to-keep-job-4956867.php

Just me1369, I was hoping, and pretty certain, that you thought that way. I can't see how Mitch got elected to anything.

Isn't that how you made your fortune in poker?

Tom,it's so nice to hear about your latest trip to Rio. And it's a comfort to know that you were there in time for Sunday services. It helps you set an example for the others. I expect that this trip will be a huge success as long as you get your rest, eat right, and don't stay out to late! But be safe, and let us know all about it.

Despite your illness, I hope that the remainder of the visit was good. It must have been if you are already planning to go back.

Mexico's murder rate per 100,000 people is 23.7 annually. Brazil does top that with a rate of 25.8. For comparison, the U.S. has a rate of 4.7. The rate for posters here is very low, in fact, I think it is 0.0. in any of the three countries. Murder, not natural deaths, are what we are talking about.

I am not of the school where one lives in fear of something bad happening. I do take reasonable precautions that would hopefully make me less of a target, and I don't go to areas that are highly volatile, but I do travel just about anywhere i want. On my first trip to Rio, i was extra cautious, but soon realized that the people around me were relaxed, so I relaxed too, eventually going into a favela, with a tour guide who had made whatever arrangements that he need to make. It was an eye-opener, and I am glad that I saw it.

I didn't know a contest was alive here. Blake sure makes a good contestant. But what is he contesting for?

Believe me, I have looked 100's of hotel in Bangkok. I have my favorites! The Ambiance in Pattaya used to be my favorite. Are you still having fun?

A picture that is a little closer up than the first:

18 beautiful young Nepalese men contested for the title of Mr. Nepal as hundreds cheered for them. Although the pic was a JPEG image, it was banned by boytoy. My title to the thread was also changed when I tried to upload the now dangerous picture. But, upload it finally did. APF News reports: Biswo Raj Adhikari, a 24-year-old sociology student from Makwanpur district near the capital was crowned "Mr. Handsome" and said he was thrilled to win the title. "My family and friends will be proud of me as I will be able to inspire other gays who hesitate to come out openly," he told AFP. Parents and well-wishers of the contestants thronged the event organised by leading LGBT rights group, The Blue Diamond Society (BDS), cheering on participants as they answered questions about discrimination against sexual minorities. The country's only openly gay lawmaker and BDS president, Sunil Babu Pant said: "This programme has encouraged gay men to reveal their hidden talents and will create more awareness about gender and sexuality". The event, billed as the country's first all gay male talent and courage contest saw contestants competing for a host of titles, including "Mr. Friendly", "Mr. Personality" and "Mr. Red Ribbon" for running anti-HIV campaigns. (AFP) Since 2997, Nepalese have been ordered to respect the rights of homosexuals.

Thanks. This will be my 14th trip, but I am always interested in learning something new.

Frankly, I am not finding it funny at all. I invited two lurkers to post, and the Offensive One seems to think it is his job to tell me that I can't do that. From day one of his presence here, he has made it clear that he will attack me, and he attacks me just for the fun of it, and is rather mean about it. I don't know why management does nothing about it, although Tampa Yankee did write a post that was a virtual love letter to him. The Offensive One was the least liked guy at Daddys. They are thrilled that he is gone. Yet here he seems to be quite welcome and I don't understand that. We need new posters here, not someone trying to get existing posters to drop out as the OO did in another thread. And while I am at it, wasn't it nice to see Four Aces back after a long absence. Not that he got much of a welcome...

Well, I still invite the lurkers to sign in and comment, but they may not want to if know they are going to have suckrates following their every post with an insult. So I suggest the best course is this. I invite Suckrates to become a lurker! How do we encourage new posters when one insists on constant battle?

I think I will avoid lesbian literature as there is so much more in my stack than lesbians queens!

The hunkier boys are in Bangkok, they dance at Tawan For a good hotel, go to Trip Advisor and take anything in their top 15. The Le Meridien is wonderful and located right in Patpong.
