RE: last cc video show

Q: When is a man most intelligent, before, after or during sex?
A: During sex because he's plugged up to the knowledge source=:)
Who Enjoys Sex More A man and a woman were having drinks at a business conference when they got into an argument about who enjoyed sex more. The man said, "Men obviously enjoy sex more than women. Why do you think we're so obsessed with getting laid?" "That doesn't prove anything," the woman countered. "Think about this: when your ear itches and you put your finger in it and wiggle it around, then pull it out, which feels better: your ear or your finger?"

Oldies :)
A balding, white haired man from Chebacco Lake and Florida, walked into a jewelry store this past Friday evening with a beautiful much younger gal at his side. He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend. The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.
The man said, ‘No, I’d like to see something a little more special.’
At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another ring over. ‘Here’s a stunning ring at only $40,000 the jeweler said. The lady’s eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement.
The old man seeing this said, ‘We’ll take it.’
The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the man stated, ‘By check. I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I’ll write it now and you can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I’ll pick the ring up Monday afternoon.’
On Monday morning, the jeweler angrily phoned the old man and said, ‘There’s no money in that account.’
‘I know,’ said the old man, ‘But let me tell you about MY GREAT WEEKEND!’

Music Lover
Two men, sentenced to die in the electric chair on the same day, were led down to the room in which they would meet their maker.
The priest had given them last rites, the formal speech had been given by the warden, and a final prayer had been said among the participants. The warden, turning to the first man, solemnly asked, "Son, do you have a last request?"
To which the man replied, "Yes sir, I do. I love dance music. Could you please play the Macarena for me one last time?"
"Certainly," replied the warden. He turned to the other man and asked, "Well, what about you, son? What is your final request?"
"Please," said the condemned man, "kill me first."

The surrogate father
The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning, Ma'am", he said, "I've come to..."
"Oh, no need to explain
Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."
"Have you really?" said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"
"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat".
After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"
"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
"My, that's a lot!", gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."
Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
"Oh, my word!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with."
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done rightPeople were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look"
"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes", the photographer replied. "And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?"
"It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long."
Mrs. Smith fainted

RE: I Seem To Have Upset Some Girls
Hello Abdiel...I didnt have the pleasure to meet you but I do appreciate the fact that you took the time to write here and appologize.
I am on CC from the very beginning and I registered on a local dating site few years ago, to kill time...from my experience men on CC are VERY POLITE comparing to my locals...I wish it would be invers.LOL
Five minutes ago, after chatting ten minutes for the first time, he started to ask if he can come to my house for sex...I mentioned there are escorts if he is in such a hurry and doesnt have time for romance..so he wrote a big FUCK YOU to me and blocked the chat.
Actually in 11 years on CC this NEVER happened..nor on other sites I used to be.
The local datingsite is listed as a place where you can get romance and CC is perhaps listed as a pornsite.
Kind regards from an old

about tatoo
hi to everyone!i need your opinions!what do u think about tatoo on womans body?if u like what is the best part of body to make it?waiting on your answers:)
RE: about tatoo
well...please do not get a tattoo on lower back...ppl dont like the "tramp stamp"...getting a tattoo is a decision not to be made lightly...but my fav places on girl for tattoo is legs near foot area...but considering i have 6 tattoos..i might be basis :P
RE: about tatoo
The most beautiful tattoos I've seen have been in Hawaii, where they are a tradition and the designs are beautiful and flattering for the most part. I think subtlety is called for. l don't have any myself and don't think I will ever do that, but I do think they can be done tastefully.
RE: about tatoo
Personally, I find most tattoos distasteful, and excessive tattoos down right repulsive. I wonder why someone, man or woman, would want to deface their body that way? I wonder what those tats will look like in 30-40 years when the ravages of age have taken effect? Will the cute little butterfly look like mothra when the person has put on 50 pounds? Will that cute little balloon look like a tire gone flat when the skin begins to sag and bag? Will the names "John" or "Mary" be what you want when the person ends up marrying "Steve" or "Susie"? I wonder what you will do if you decide, years later, you no longer want those tattoos? (I wonder the same thing about certain piercings, plugs in the ear lobes, etc.). I wonder how you will guarantee your tattooist will use only the cleanest, most sterile equipment? I wonder how you will feel when others don't appreciate your tats (and some probably won't) or wonder what in the hell you were thinking (and some probably will)?
Of course, a lot will depend on what you get for a tattoo, where you get it, how big or extensive it is, and so on. Honestly, I'm the first to admit, some tattoos look nice and are in good taste, though I still much prefer the natural, unmarked look of the human body. Also, some tats are nice to cover unsightly scars or embarrassing birthmarks, and so on.
But, you asked our opinion. I've given you mine. I think it's obvious, I'm not in favor of tats. However, it's your body, your life, your decision.

RE: about tatoo
I know how you feel, I've often thought about getting one but never did. I'd like it to be something personal, and only intended for the eyes of someone who knows me VERY well, but we're all different. I've seen gorgeous tattoos that, even if I would never get them myself, certainly made her even more beautiful.
And yes, you'll have that tattoo for a long time, so get a good one from a good artist.

RE: about tatoo
See, now that's where we see things differently: I've never seen a tattoo make any woman more beautiful. To me, it takes away from her natural beauty.
RE: about tatoo
I have known many girls (on line and in real) who have tattoos and in general i like them and find them sexy. Do make sure you get it done well by a good tattoo artist. In my opinion the dislike of the so called "tramp stamp" lower back tattoo is mainly in the USA but it does seem to be pretty widespread there.
RE: about tatoo
My point was not that there is a trend for lower back tattoos in the USA but that the dislike of them is mainly there. I have never met anyone in Europe who has a general dislike for them.
RE: about tatoo
please dont get one , your to beautiful to mark any part of your body with a tattoo.
RE: about tatoo
If it's poorly done or not in any way a reflection of something uniquely cool about who you are, a tattoo is something I try my hardest to overlook on a person. Give it a good amount of thought, and when you think you've settled on what it is that you want, I'd suggest letting that notion percolate a little while - see if you're still as eager to get it done a month later.
And please, fuck anyone else's opinion. It's your body, it's your skin - do with it whatever makes you happy.
And please, fuck anyone else's opinion. It's your body, it's your skin - do with it whatever makes you happy.
RE: about tatoo
If you choose one remember your tattoo will be with you for the rest of your life. It needs to be placed well for you to be happy and for the tat to keep looking good. Some women I know try the ankles first to see if they really like it on their body, but you should know this part of the body part can be painful since the skin is so near the anklebone, also a good place to cover up when needed to with a pair of boots. If your going for a sexier look, backside of the lower back above the wait line is good-or better yet look at Angelina Jolie she has several good looking tats on her body with one bad exception of the name Billy-Bob, do not put any names on your body. Good Luck
RE: about tatoo
Personally I don't like tattoos. There's nothing more beautiful than the clear skin of a (young :) woman. While the artwork itself can be impressive, it being on a woman's skin will never look classy or beautiful from my perspective.
Some (NOT ALL!!) girls who have tattoos seem to do it like a form of self harm. It's a combination of the pain and rebellion against their bodies gives them a rush. So they do it again....and again....
I can't really understand the "it's for me" argument. Surely a person are getting a tattoo because he/she wants a reaction? If no one reacted in any way, or you didn't want to talk about it with others, why get one? Maybe if you were on a desert island with no human contact, would you still want a tattoo? If so, why?
I think someone who gets a tattoo is doing it to make an impression on people. So I'm within my rights to say that my impression is "you'd look better without it". It's your choice, but no one is turned off when someone DOESN'T have tattoos. And those people you turn off with the tattoo are not necessarily "narrow minded". People like different things.

I'm not a big fan of tats, but a friend of mine has them, including the names of her kids, and that happens to be part of who she is. She's also gorgeous, physically, and a beautiful person. To each his or her own.

I'm sure your friend is beautiful, but personally, I would not find her tattoos beautiful, even if they gave the formula for world peace.

RE: about tatoo
My point is people choose their modes of self-expression. It's not hard to see that's what they mean when they say "it's for me."
RE: about tatoo
Yes, but it's shows a lack of self-analysis. Reminds me of Jack Nicholson in "As Good as it Gets", when asked, as a novelist, how he writes women so well. He replies:-
"I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability".
If a woman applies no self analysis, this is often so true :))))

RE: about tattoo to DOTT
I don't think you understand women very well. When a woman makes any change to her appearance whether it is to her hairstyle, color, has a make over a boob job her first purpose is to make her feel better about herself. Of course if she is happy with the result compliments from other people add to the pleasure but if she doesn't like it then she will not be happy no matter how many people tell her it is great. Every girl I know who has a tattoo did it for herself first and to make a statement to others second.
RE: about tattoo to DOTT
Perhaps I just understand them a little deeper than you. Certainly you are telling me nothing new.
Simply put, all these things that a woman does "for herself" are reactions to the society and culture that she lives in and the people she surrounds herself with. While it may appear to be for "herself", this rationale is not the hallmark of a wise woman.

RE: about tattoo to DOTT
Actually I think yours is the more superficial view. You have subtly changed the way you express yourself. I agree that a woman's self image and hence what makes her feel good about herself is influenced by the culture and society she is in. But when she makes a change in her appearance a woman may not be seeking a direct reaction from the people around her or society in general.
RE: about tattoo to DOTT
A woman is wired to gain the acceptance and affirmation of people around her, to the extent that she automatically makes decisions based on external stimuli. She can therefore make a decision without consciously evaluating why the impulse is there. The only justification being that it is "for herself". Essentially this is the same as saying "I have been manipulated to act on this impulse".
Like I said, not the hallmark of a wise woman. But women like this are a marketeer's dream because there are any number of subtle tricks that can be used to make women think of new things that they want "for themselves".
I'm not saying men are immune to this, but most men are more inclined to rationalise.

RE: about tattoo to DOTT
An action that a human being makes without an attempt to rationalise comes from the unconscious. The unconscious is influenced by the environment. Wanting to do something "for yourself" but not being able to rationalise this, is just an expression shaped by the environment, upbringing, advertising etc. etc.
As an example, advertisers love the demographic that does lots of things "for itself", because it means the marketing is working without the human mind having to rationalise it. The most effective marketing plays on our insecurities and/or innate desires. We might then take action based on feelings, without consciously attributing these actions to a particular stimulus.
What I'm saying is that doing something is "for yourself", because it makes you feel a certain way, is just acting out a desire that you are not able to rationalise. It's good to question why you have that desire. No ideas come from nothing, after all.
As Socrates said: "the unexamined life is not worth living". I would agree; as at the extreme - not to question at all - makes someone nothing more than completely manipulated.
A truly empowered woman (or indeed man) will examine what drives him/her inside.

"Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions." ~David Hume.
As Hume points out, what you think of something ultimately is dictated by how you feel. When you reduce reasoning to simple axiomatic "truths." it is how you feel about them that makes them "True," ultimately.
Examining the rationale for your desire is precisely ass backwards. Maybe your desire has a source, but not a rationale.
I am, therefore I think. It's not the other way around.

RE: about tattoo to DOTT
Presumably how I feel about your first statement will indicate to me whether it is true or not, regardless of content, context or interpretation? :)
What is important is what the root of the feeling is. Reason and feeling in human beings are co-dependent when it comes to action or inaction. It's a far more complex concept than just one ruling the other. There is a balance. Some will tend more towards rationalizing, some will be led by feeling. They may even be some male/female bias in there :o)
The fact remains that to surrender entirely to feeling is to reduce objective self-determination. And the big corporations selling us products know this all too well, particularly when they target the "I'm doing it for myself" demographic.

RE: about tattoo to DOTT
What bothers me about what you're saying is that (i), to live too deliberately, especially at a young age, would be deadly dull, and (ii), I just don't see "thinking" and "feeling" as opposites the way you seem to. The demographic you speak of is not some mindless conglomeration but a collection of individuals who make choices (albeit admittedly in a predictable way when seen from a market perspective).
Corporations still have to find a way to appeal to individuals making choices... what you call manipulation.
When you're young, you try stuff, you take on different personas to see how they fit, to see how they "feel" to you. That's not a mindless process.

RE: about tattoo to DOTT
Thinking and feeling are not opposites, they are co-dependent.
Ref your response on corporations, I'm saying that individuals are not making a choice as such, but rather acting on an impulse that has essentially been planted in them without their agreement. Where this happens, in advertising or just through the prevailing culture, this negates the notion that it is "for oneself", as whilst it may appear that way, the action remains unanalysed and the impetus has likely been implanted by others.
Coming back to tattoos, when tattoos were the domain of prisoners, sailors and soldiers, how many women would have had a tattoo "for themselves". A few, yes, but not many. However when the culture reinforces this idea, many do it. The self is not independent, and unexamined it is just another cog in the machine.
RE: about tattoo to DOTT
I accept that people are influenced by society and environment. This can also affect how we rationalise things. What I disagree with is your original statement "Surely a person are getting a tattoo because he/she wants a reaction?". They may not want a reaction from other people. The reaction may come from inside the person getting the tattoo. This reaction may indeed be influenced by society and environment but this is different from wanting a reaction from others. I also do not necessarily accept your statement , ""no one is turned off when someone DOESN'T have tattoos". What basis do have for saying that there are not people who do not find a girl sexy unless she has a tattoo?
RE: about tattoo to DOTT
Yes, the person may not consciously want a reaction, but the innate desire remains for approval and belonging and to assign worth to oneself on the basis of the values of the prevailing culture or sub-culture.
It's really just learned experience and pragmatism that tells me that there would be few people who found a woman unattractive if she did not have tattoos. After all, a penchant for appreciating tattoos is not a direct, simple, innate human instinct, but rather a perversion or fetish.
If tattoos were fully ingrained in the culture of the developed world, their impact could be larger in terms of defining the status/attractiveness of an individual. Maybe this will happen. I, for one, hope not.

I picked up an old Russian phrase-book in a second-hand bookshop last week. It's from the days of the Soviet Union, and it shows - some of the phrases are hilarious! My favorite is "Where can I visit a permanent exhibition of the accomplishments of the peoples of the Soviet Union?" You know, any will do.
There's a travel guide to a fictional East European country called "Why come to Slaka?" which was full of similarly funny phrases. And of course the great advice "if you hear clicks during phone call, please remember our system is different!"
Ever found funny phrases like that?

Patience is a Virtue
A man observed a woman in the grocery store with a toddler-aged girl in her shopping trolley. As they passed the biscuit section, the little girl asked for biscuits and her mother told her no. The little girl immediately began to whine and fuss, and the mother said quietly: "Now Monica, we just have half of the aisles left to go through - don't be upset. It won't be long."
Soon, they came to the sweets aisle and the little girl began to shout for chocolate. When told she couldn't have any, she began to cry.
The mother said softly: "There, there, Monica, don't cry - only two more aisles to go and then we'll be checking out."
When they got to the checkout stand, the little girl immediately began to clamour for lollipops and burst into a terrible tantrum upon discovering there'd be none purchased. The mother patiently said: "Monica, we'll be through this checkout stand in five minutes and then you can go home and have a nice nap."
The man was very impressed with the woman's handling of the situations and followed them out to the car park and stopped her to compliment her. "I couldn't help noticing how patient you were with little Monica," he began.
The mother sighed and replied: "Oh, no. My little girl's name is Tammy ... I'm Monica."

joke
so a guy was sitting at his second floor breakfast nook that looks out onto the roof of his house,and noticed a gorilla, sitting on his roof, under the shade of his walnut tree.so he took the yellow book(still in its protective,plastic wrapper) opened to the gees.and sure enough, there was a listing for" gorilla removers".
yeah, he called.30 minutes later,a beat up old ford pickup with a massive,rusty cage in the bed pulled up in front of his home.a grey haired,scruffy old man,and really mean,gnarly rottweiller exited the cab.upon collecting his substantial fee, the old guy explained the process of gorilla removal."im gonna lean a ladder to access your roof,climb up with a baseball bat,and knock the gorilla off. my dog is specially trained to latch onto the gorillas testicles,and that is usually enough to
subdue it till we get it into the cage on my truck.it sounded like a half a__ reasonable plan so the guy approved. the old dude left to get his tools.
a few minutes later the old dude and dog came up to him,carrying a louisville slugger,a extension ladder,and a shotgun.the oldman leaned the ladder against the house,put the bat on his shoulder,and handed me the shotgun.not understanding and slightly baffled i asked,what is the gun for,u didnt say anything about a gun.
the old man looked me dead in the eye with the most serious gaze i have ever encountered.and said.if by chance something should go wrong and the gorilla knocks me off the roof instead.SHOOT THE DOG.

RE: Meteorite falled in Russia
makes you reallise what the devestation would be if a real big one hit, the one today weighed a cool 10 tonnes
RE: Meteorite falled in Russia
Not long after that one hit, there was an asteroid that was 50m diameter that missed the Earth by only 17,500 miles. That one could have leveled a city as large as New York or Moscow.
