A great article in the NY Times today by Cornell West. I have always love reading his opinion and listening to him talk. Read this article if you have time. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/26/opinion/martin-luther-king-jr-would-want-a-revolution-not-a-memorial.htm "As the talk show host Tavis Smiley and I have said in our national tour against poverty, the recent budget deal is only the latest phase of a 30-year, top-down, one-sided war against the poor and working people in the name of a morally bankrupt policy of deregulating markets, lowering taxes and cutting spending for those already socially neglected and economically abandoned. Our two main political parties, each beholden to big money, offer merely alternative versions of oligarchic rule. " Do you feel he hit the nail on the head? Is he missing something? Or, pretty damn accurate?

One of the things I like the most about Amazon.com's is their recommended list on my homepage every day. Sometimes I find something I want, and sometimes I do not. However, they are pretty close when it comes to my book selection. I only buy Kindle books. I have only purchased one hard book in the last year. Other than that book, the only other hard copy books that I purchased@Amazon.com are photography books. Everything else is a book that I downloaded to my Kindle and my iPad. Today TampaYankee mentioned a mattress that he had purchased online. I went to Amazon.com to find something similar and found many that I liked. Knowing that I will be back in the USA for several months next year, and knowing that I need a good mattress, I put this mattress in my wish list. This way when I know more of my plans all I have to do is go to my wish list and move it to my cart. As I said before, Amazon is one of my favorite websites.I don't think I will ever reach the status of Amazon.com not having something to recommend for me to purchase.

We have had over 100 posts in the last 24 hours. Fantastic! I love it! Thank you all for supporting the site!

I went to one of the 7 Sister schools. It turned coed the year I started and was one of less than 20 males in the school for over a year. The college was east coast liberal and I would not hesitate putting that I was gay on my application (but I wasn't open back then). However, I know too many college administrators and I just got off the phone with 2 of them and they both said that if you go high enough up the food chain, that an admin most certainly can detail any admission decision.

That was his opinion FloridaRob, what did you think? Also, they cater to a mainly Thai audience, you can't get upset if they don't understand your question. The size of the burgers are on the menu (in grams). I doubt a Thai would know much more how to tell you how big. They seem to get dick size wrong here, so I am not surprised that burger size is hard. I left totally full after eating the smaller burger. But, I will admit to having the desert. I'll give the place another try and see if the larger burger satisfies me. I also have to try Iron Fairies for a friend.

Just curious to see where the majority of members live or spend most of their time. I have really enjoyed my time in Bangkok but it is coming to an end next month and I'm headed back to USA and South America. I know I'll return again soon but have not yet decided on my next long stay destination in Thailand. Where do you stay? Why?

I usually go to Hero every weekend as I am never disappointed. A friend who is visiting Bangkok suggested that I try Fan Club Massage off of Soi Convent. I remember going there once a few years back but he said he has had 3 guys in the last few weeks and all 3 excellent. Anyone else like Fan Club? Recommend it?

Great video. Keep up the good work!

I just saw this movie and thought it was adorable. It is about a feminine gay boy in the Philippians. It is the story of his love, his life, his family and his desires. It is really a very sweet movie. If you have not seen it, give it a try!

I had this same problem in Brazil and I had the hotel book it for me and I paid them, plus their fee and service charge.

You don't think one admin can deny an applicant? If you answer that question that one administrator cannot derail an application, I'd suggest you ask a few people in higher education.

Hey, welcome to the site. Thanks for the links to the reviews. I'll have to add to my list of to dos. I have only got about a month left in LOS on this trip, any favorites you would suggest?

I would have not problem with this question if it was from a good liberal arts school which I knew did not discriminate. However, I don't think I would answer this question honestly at most schools in the South. Regardless of how many gay and lesbian groups there are on campuses, there are still bigots and racists in the administration and it only takes one to see an application and put it in the denied list.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Two dozen gunmen burst into a casino in northern Mexico on Thursday, doused it with a flammable liquid and started a fire that trapped gamblers inside, killing at least 32 people and injuring a dozen more, authorities said. The fire at the Casino Royale in Monterrey, a city that has seen a surge in violence this year, represented one of the deadliest attacks on an entertainment center in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug cartels in late 2006. "This is a night of sadness for Mexico," said federal security spokesman Alejandro Poire in a televised address. "An unspeakable, repugnant, unacceptable act of terror has been committed." "These unspeakable acts of terror will not go unpunished," Poire said, adding federal authorities were aiding state forces in the investigation. for the full story: http://news.yahoo.com/32-dead-attack-casino-northern-mexico-021641106.html Mexico, being right next door to USA, is a place I really enjoyed visiting at a child. I have not been there in a few years and I am not sure when these horrific incidences are going to subside. My hearts go out to those caught up in this madness and I hope that there is a day in the near future when this great land is able to rise up again.

What are your plans for the weekend? Me: going to Siam Paragon for lunch, going to see a movie later, headed to Hero on Sunday.

Do you ever wonder why so many are turned off by organized religion? Pat Robertson's latest rant on his TV show said that the East Coast Earthquake was because "there are men who get manicures, wear designer eyewear and know about thread counts. God finds this somewhat gay-like behavior confusing, and He responded by getting mildly peeved." Don't you think Pat's God should get pissed at him for being such a frigging bigot and send a tornado to his headquarters?

A friend of mine recently sent an e-mail to me with the URL for an ad. The ad was from a guy in Alabama looking for a roommate. I'll post both the url and the full text so you can read it if they take it down again. SF bay area craigslist > san francisco > housing > room/share wanted please flag with care: [?] $1000 Best. Roommate. Ever. Date: 2011-08-18, 3:39PM PDT Konichiwa bitches. Are you looking for the most kick-ass fucking roommate that ever lived? If so, look no further. You fucking found him. I'm a 25-year-old professional marketing agent with experience at bad-ass companies in New York Fucking City. That's right! What you know about experience? I graduated from Auburn University in Alabama, and moved to NYC at the ripe, tender age of 22. After deciding that New York was a stinky shit-hole, I moved back to Alabama to cultivate more professional experience. Why? So I can make millions of dollars and not have to post shit like this on Craigslist. Anyway, so I landed this job with a marketing firm in San Francisco, and I have no fucking clue where to live. Honestly, I'm moving there in 3 weeks, so I don't give a shit if I have to sleep in your bathtub. A bit about me: I'm respectful, quiet, clean and I won't bother any of your shit. If you leave shit out, I'm just like, "Oh fuck I better not mess with this shit, because it's not mine." I turn off lights. I clean toilets. Fuck it. I'll even cook for you. That's right! My dad is a chef and taught me everything there is to know about cooking southern cajun cuisine. I'll fry green tomatoes, cover them with marinated crab meat and smother that shit in bearnaise. EVERY. GODDAMN. NIGHT. Don't eat meat? That's fucking FANTASTIC! I'll make a zucchini and yellow squash carpaccio that will knock your fucking socks off. I also read a lot. I fucking LOVE books. Vonnegut, Palahniuk, Hawthorne. All that shit. I read Tuesdays with Morrie the other day. It's a sad story, but I learned something about life, love, knowledge and the pursuit of something greater than myself. Fucking smart. Do you like movies? I fucking love them. We can watch the shit out of some movies together if you like, or go get drinks, or work out, hike, play video games or play a game of one-on-one basketball, or I don't have to talk to you at all. It's completely UP TO YOU! Sometimes I play guitar. Are you going to love getting baked and listening to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd? LIVE? WHENEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT? Of course you are! I'll take requests and learn any song you like, because I have the voice of an angel and the acoustical stylings of James Fucking Taylor. AWWWWWW SHIT YEA! A lot of people ask me, "Hey, you're from Alabama. Are you racist?" And, the answer to that question is, no. I'm not racist or judgmental at all. I love everyone. I'm a secular humanist. I FUCKING LOVE PEOPLE. That's the only requirement to being a secular humanist actually. You have to like other human beings and want to help them for no other reason than they are human regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. WTF?!!!? Pretty fucking cool right? I own almost nothing! I'm driving my car from Alabama to California in which I'll be transporting two duffelbags of clothes, one laptop computer, one guitar, one cell-phone with charger, 8 pairs of shoes, one picture frame, probably some condoms and a shitload of beef jerky and Pringles for the trip. Though, you can expect the jerky to be gone upon my arrival. Unless you'd like me to pick up some on my way into the city. See?! I'm the most considerate person you've ever met. I'm offering to buy you shit already! Am I interested in your pad? You can bet my nomadic ass I am! I only require 4 walls, a ceiling and a floor to shelter me from the elements. Other than that, anything else will be considered a convenient plus. I'm taking being a roommate to the next level. Email me! I'll hook yo ass up with Facebook links, background checks, credit reports, phone numbers, resumes, references, awards, sexual history, pictures of karate trophies and a list of the top 10 women I'd like to bang before I die. If you want a next-generation roommate who consistently blows your fucking mind with awesomeness, then hit me up. I'm ready to give you money. EDIT: Craigslist decided to hook my shit back up, and I'm tweeting now. Follow me. Or don't. It's up to you. http://twitter.com/BestRoomyEver http://www.facebook.com/BestRoomyEver cats are OK - purrr dogs are OK - wooof it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/sha/2549849730.html PostingID: 2549849730

Does anyone here watch the Sons of Anarchy? I recently became aware of this TV show and watched the 1st 3 seasons. I will say I enjoyed the series a great deal the main character is extremely delicious, tasty, scrumptious, divine and gives me a boner every time I see him. I also like the fact that Peg Bundy is the motorcycle matriarch. I always enjoy her as an actress, and it was great to see her again on the show. I did not know that her husband was the director of this series. But I think he did a great job casting her as the mother. As many of you know, I have a tattoo fetish. This show is filled with hot tattooed guys. It's also filled with a lot of beer belly old men. The ending for the 3rd season was fantastic. It was not exactly what I was expecting to see. But I'm glad it ended the way it did. In September the new season will begin and if anyone has not watched this great show, I suggest that you download it, rent it, or by the 1st 3 seasons before the new season begins.

I was sitting down trying to balance ledgers today and one of the items that keep coming up on my credit card bills is Amazon.com. I cannot even tell you how many things I buy from that website in one year. I do not even live in the United States full-time and I still find Amazon.com is indispensable. A few years back when I took an apartment in New York City, I furnish the entire apartment from Amazon.com. Well, with the exception of a bed and a sofa. Everything else, and I do mean everything else was sent to me by Amazon.com. The UPS driver made daily deliveries that filled my living room with boxes from Amazon.com. During the holiday season, I find that I do most of my shopping@Amazon.com. I have a niece and nephew that I by many presents for and every one of them comes from Amazon.com. I don't know if that makes me a lazy ass mother fucker or not. but shopping with Amazon is easy, convenient, and I feel I get the best deal for my money. When I had to have a case for my 27 inch iMac, I found it online and knew exactly what I wanted. Amazon had the same price as every other company in the USA. The only difference was there were no taxes that were added to the cost and because I am an Amazon.com prime member there was also free shipping. Being an Amazon.com prime member gives you 2nd day delivery on any item you purchase that is directly shipped from Amazon.com. For me, I love the fact that I can order something one day and it's delivered in the next 2 days for free. Do you use Amazon.com? Are there other online companies that you prefer? Do you prefer to do your shopping in person as opposed to on the Internet? I asked mainly because I am curious as I have always hated shopping in person. Now that I can shop online, I enjoy it. But take me to the mall and asked me to buy something for myself or for someone else and my attention span lasts a maximum of 10 min.

I have friends in Kuwait that have been trying to get me to visit them for many years. They have said not only is it very safe, but that the gay scene there is fantastic. I have not been able to find any empirical data that verifies this, but they say that all the men go out at night, and women are required to stay inside, and therefore the man fuck with each other. I have always been curious to see what the Middle East would be like. I've especially always wanted to visit Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. And since I was a child, Egypt has always been my dream country. I've never been to any of these places. I have had short layovers at airports in the Middle East but never explored any of the cities. I have many friends that go to Jerusalem often and say that they feel safer there than anywhere in America. They also say that many of the shopkeepers have machine guns were protection. I'm not sure that that would make me feel safe, or make me feel uncomfortable, but it still does not stop my urge for wanting to visit the Holy Lands. Do you think that the Arab spring is going to make it safer for travel in the Middle East? Or do you think things are going to get worse?

No one really knows what happened that night. As time goes by I think we will learn more about it. I think this goes to show the value of a site like this. I will admit that I have hired from Craig's list on several occasions. I had mixed results from those encounters. Not once have I ever hired someone from this site that had good reviews where I was disappointed. So, in conclusion, only hire if the escort in question has been reviewed here. If this client had done that, he would not be in the shit store he now is in.

I had a Brazilian boyfriend at one point and he loved cooking with a pressure cooker. He would make some of most amazing meets that were mixed with vegetables and the taste was absolutely divine. I do remember the pressure cooker exploding at one point and making a mess of our entire kitchen. I wasn't so concerned with the mass, as I was that if one of us had been near it we would've had serious burns. After that, we bought a very high-end pressure cooker and it was guaranteed not to explode. I have never been able to find that cooker online or in any store. I also remember my mother using a pressure cooker a great deal growing up as a child. But she would also use a pressure cooker for canning vegetables. Not once did hers ever explode. Perhaps that's the difference between a good Southern cook, and to Queens in New York City trying to cook some good food.

I love that the new CEO is gay and I hope he does a fantastic job!

I have stayed at just about every Marriott hotel in Bangkok. I have never had a problem bringing guests of the hotel. I had a room at the Marriott executive Apartments on Sathorn and never had any problems. The hotel in question in this thread is a fairly new hotel. I believe it is only 1 1/2 years old. Again, I do not think you have a problem bringing guests into the hotel. That being said, the hotel is out-of-the-way for the gay bar area. It is a long distance up the sky train from where the gay scene takes place. It is in an area with very nice hotels, apartments, and shopping centers. However, it is easy to get anywhere in Bangkok if you are willing to take the sky train. If you must take a taxi, and you're going to be out in the daytime, this hotel is not for you. The hotel is gorgeous. The lobby looks fantastic. The fitness facilities our very nice. They have a shuttle that goes to the Metro station. All in all, I think it is a great place to stay if you want to be out of the gay area of Bangkok.
