I’ve seen this before. I know I have! Let’s see minuscule hard to use screen with a stylus that you constantly lose. Where have I seen this before?

That’s it! My old Palm TX that I bought to read eBooks before figuring out what a mess it was trying to read eBooks on that screen with my eyesight being what it is. I blew some bucks learning that lesson I tell you. Wow, Samsung thinks repackaging a Palm with an Android OS is a sure iPhone killer? OK, I wish them luck on that.

At least they can’t be accused of being nothing more than a cheap ass copy of yet another Apple product with this thing. No one could say that Apple ever thought of that first…

Oh my! They are now even copying the things Apple could not make work. That is really depressing.

The Politics Of Dancing: The Old Straight-To-Gay Male Character Story Arc
Bisexuality: Pride & Prejudice ~ The Difference Between Identity & Sex

I keep saying over and over again sexual preferences are not a form of prejudice. You cannot politicize something that is innate and unchangeable about a person.

You can fetishize certain aspects of it. The transitional state of virginity or the personal realization of being gay as in the case of many gay romances. You can focus on the clothing or the hair or the makeup but that’s all image only. You can even focus on the socially stigmatized gender roles if you want but that’s a trap that will get you right in trouble with the feminists.

It’s like trying to tell me Buck Angel is sexy. No he’s not, he’s a curiosity! I don’t find him even remotely sexy. He might be a nice guy and all that but that was not the question. In my eyes sexually he is fake. Just as fake as any other steroid pumping porn star which does not make him unique. God I miss the seventies. It’s like pointing to some of those guys in the Mr. Universe contests and saying “oh they are all so sexy”. They are just pumping steroids and over sculpting their body parts and shaving it all down it does not tend to look natural to me. It’s not healthy as history has proven out and it’s not all that good looking either.

I am not totally about natural beauty and all that but unlike RuPaul who says “We’re born naked, and the rest is drag.” I think deep down we can tell “the real”. The honest real experiences and skills gained from actually doing something or getting training for doing something from the unreal or fake and clueless.

You can get a buzz cut and go running around a military base acting like you are a soldier but the ones that share the actual experience of being a soldier of earning that experience and spending years training for it will find you out. Because all you are doing is an act and as always the truth will win out and the act itself is an act of fraud.

So what? Crystal Warren had sex with 1000s of straight guys. Did she change their mind by being honest with them or did she commit fraud and get one over on them? Is this act simply for shock value or is she really that mean? She obviously is aware the truth would be seen as negative. At least she assumes that is the case maybe some of those guys figured it out and enjoyed it.

How many of those guys did she miss a chance at a good honest relationship with?

This is nothing new some trans-man made a big deal about getting into the gay male only Inferno BDSM event. It got published about in one of the gay papers and there was a huge deal made about Inferno being transphobic.

No, Inferno is a sexual BDSM event where men come to share their sexual preference for other hyper-masculine men. It was never a political event and never claimed to represent the entire BDSM community. It is a sexually focused event held by men for men by a private BDSM club. You don’t see lesbians protesting it because they have made the effort and created their own events. Gays and lesbians understand our sexual preferences are different in regards to such events as this.

Not to mention BDSM is about trust and seems to me not being honest about who you are is a betrayal of that trust. So oops, message lost at least for anyone actually part of the BDSM scene.

We cannot change our sexual preferences be it for red heads or muscles or thin and clean shaven. To demand change like that is unreasonable and silly and goes against everything the gay community has been about since we began. We are what we are. Born this way and all that you know. Sexual preference is hardwired. Face it, plastic parts are just not gonna cut it for many folks and going into debt to your plastic surgeon is not a good thing no matter how you slice it.

Making it political and ranting at people for imagined prejudice and cis this and cis that for not buying into your particular kink or buying into your personal sexual transformation is not going to get you anywhere. I am politically all about tolerance and people having the right to live as they please and be treated equally fair is fair but that has nothing to do with my sexual preference which is defined and narrow in scope and there is nothing you or I can do about it. You have no right to tell me I am “cis wrong” for “cis anything”. Depending on redefining everyone else as “the cis problem” to make you feel better about your self identity issues is a crock of shit.

Madonna selling BDSM to the masses did not suddenly make things better BDSM acceptance wise in my opinion. It was publicity sure but it also brought in more gawkers to the scene. That’s what we needed… more tourists! Hell, sex with a trans-woman or a drag queen is pretty much a straight male sexual kink anyway so at least they have the right audience in this article’s case despite the message and how it is being negatively presented by all parties involved.

In my opinion Crystal Warren sounds like a sad person looking for attention with some serious issues. I believe in coming out before people get hurt (Honesty is always the best policy with those you love.) but also not putting yourself in danger (I was in the military I lied in order to serve in it.) and being at least honest with your sex partners at a bare minimum (Having HIV makes that a huge issue for me.) and all that which is not what she is about. You know, the hard decisions that you have to make to be a better person in our world.

The study, published in Psychological Science, showed that people who score low on I.Q. tests in childhood are more likely to develop prejudiced beliefs and socially conservative politics in adulthood.

I think we can honestly say that Republicans do not know how to use Google.

Lets fact check shall we…

As of September 24, 2011, the company had 60,400 permanent full-time employees and 2,900 temporary full-time employees worldwide

In other words despite Apple making the most money of an company ever they only employ something like 40,000 American workers at most. I bet the lion share of that is low paying retail jobs at their stores.

Now their major supplier is a different story all together.

Foxconn has 13 factories in nine Chinese cities, more than in any other country.

Foxconn’s largest factory worldwide is in Longhua, Shenzhen, where hundreds of thousands of workers (varying counts include 230,000, 300,000, and 450,000) are employed at the Longhua Science & Technology Park, a walled campus sometimes referred to as “Foxconn City” or “iPod City”. Covering about 1.16 square miles (3 square km), it includes 15 factories, worker dormitories, a swimming pool, a fire brigade, its own television network (Foxconn TV), and a downtown complete with a grocery store, bank, restaurants, bookstore, and hospital. While some workers live in surrounding towns and villages, others live and work inside the complex,; a quarter of the employees live in the dormitories, and many of them work 12-hour days for 6 days each week, for under US$17 per day.

So if you want to follow what the Republicans are saying it is simply they want you to work for them 12 hours a day 6 days a week at $17 a day with no medical insurance or benefits. Living in a Company Town shopping from the Company Store praying at the Company Church and voting the Company Policy. That is their solution to putting America back to work by making us basically thinly veiled communist factory workers. A third world utopia.

The sad part is this is not some bitter entertainment funded Fox pundit but a person who holds an elected office. Someone Americans voted for somewhere for some odd reason that also felt he was qualified to speak for them on national television who as it turns out cannot be the least bit bothered to even skim over a few facts before saying this stupid ass shit. This guy got winning votes by blatantly lying to his constituents just like this. Sure we can fix this by educating voters.

Or is that just another lie to make ourselves feel better about the hopelessness of our current choice of two flavors of conservative douche bag being really “no choice at all”?

At this point between Obama the “fake democrat” asshole of big words and lots of fully documented broken or compromised promises and the Republican clown car that wants to sell us out as cheaply as possible to China I am just waiting for the Brown Shirts to show up to enforce the final solution. It’s only a matter of time…

What? You say they are already here?
Glenn Greenwald ~ Rules Of American Justice: A Tale Of Three Cases

Jan Brewer always reminded me of someone in my family. That being my mother’s stepmom.

The crazy alcoholic bitch who had an affair and then married my grandfather for whatever money she thought he had and then found out in an ever so brief moment of sobriety he did not have any. She eventually drank herself to death in a puddle of crazy but before doing that she let you know all about her disappointments in you, in him, in the world at large usually during some rambling bitter drunk midnight phone call. Yeah, she was such a great catch I tell you amazing how anyone with half a brain would vote for such an easily identifiable self destructive psychotic wreck like that though.
