RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
Canon Elura 100
Sony Handycam DCR-SR40
These are 2 decent models of digital cams.
Sony would be my 1st choice, but Cannon and JVC are very good also. I would try not to rush your purchase though. Shop around and see the best deal you can make.

good luck with your purchase

RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
It's not the cam that is so important, but the lighting. I do agree that the Canon and Sony models recommended are very good for the money; just keep in mind that the combination of a "fair" video camera and good lighting will turn out much better than the very best video camera and poor lighting.

You are welcome for the advice. Hope it all will work out for you. Do try to be a little patient and make sure you look hard at your selections.

RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
Bekky always has great shots and is a very good host with a thoroughly enjoyable show. I do recall one visit where the good pics worked against her though. For some reason she had a lower quality cam that day and the video quality was really bad. If that had been my first visit to her it may well had been my last, not for anything she did wrong (don't want anyone thinking I'm bad mouthing one of my favorites hosts) just because of the cam quality, or lack thereof. Luckily it seems that was a one time occurance.

Lena just out of the kindness of my heart if you would like to send me some hardcore naked photos or videos of you using your new digital cam I will let you know if you have made a good choice :P
Crap Jokes - I had to read them - so its your turn
A guy walks into the psychiatrist wearing only clingfilm for shorts.
The shrink says, "Well, I can clearly see you're nuts."
Guy goes into the doctor's.
"Doc, I've got a cricket ball stuck up my backside "How's that?"
"Don't you start"
last one
Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are
5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my
mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu.
But I think it's Colin.
Two Aerials meet on a roof - fall in love - get married. The ceremony was rubbish but the Reception was Brilliant.
Man goes to the doc, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says "I'll give you some cream to put on it."
"Doc, I can't stop singing the green green grass of home."
"That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome. "
"Is it common? "
"It's not unusual."

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
Tell him if he does not like you working here he should make enough money to pay for your apartment, food, electric, clothes, etc.
But anyman that does not work and beats his gf or wife is not worth staying with no matter how much money he makes. You are better off with-out him.
Good luck, time heals all wounds.

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
There is never an excuse to hit a woman. He is a pathetic loser and coward. Do not take him back no matter what he says. He has serious problems. You are better off on your own. Good luck and dont take abuse from any partner . Dont think its ur fault either. Its all his own insecurity. Like u said he is a boy and not a man.
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
hey - real sorry to hear this..
Hope you will get over him in time..
a) its never ok to beat a woman ..!!
b) it shows he cannot comunicate and deal with his issues , his problem
c) move on ....
d) it is not so easy to be with a girl doing cc , i know this, but, then you have to get trust.. and hopefully work towards another career ,, after you BOTH pay the bills .
Just my opinion

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
Absolutly agree with your comments thedirector. There is not any excuse to hit a woman , only a coward and ruin bastard can do that. But it is true that is extremely difficult being feelings in the middle to admit the girl that you love be working in sex sites. ( Even if the proffesion were stripdancer in a club ( not peep shows )will be different , cause dance , work finish , and it is over , not obligation to intimate clients ).Only a total and complete complicity between them can handle that. In my opinion ,love is possesive by definition . Those are only opinions cause nobody is allowed to judge anyone , and each person , each case is a world. If you dont like any , run away , but dont blame , and never violence.
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
not all men are like this.You are better off with out him. You are a person in your own right ,you do not need to justify why you do anything . Remember names cannot hurt you and no man should be allowed to hit you.

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
Even if you gave up your work here he would just find another reason to hit you. As he cut himself he has also shown that he is not above using emotional blackmail and probably needs professional help.
So, while it may hurt at the moment, I would advise you to never take him back.

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
“if man really loves a woman, will he beat her??” A man should never beat a woman, if he loves her or not. If a man says he loves a woman he would never beat her for sure! Sadly I have had to many female friends over the years who have had situations similar to yours. The men always try to explain they only do it out of love. Love should never involve violence!
“Is it really such horrible to work here??” You are going to hear different views on this, but in my opinion it is not horrible to work here. It is a job like anywhere else. You are creating an economical improvement in your life and no one should ever hold this against you. Most of my friends who work or have worked online do not do it because they love it, but because they can actually make enough money to survive. They have independence, the ability to live, to enjoy life, to improve other parts of their lives like going to the university, building a business, supporting their family or such things.
“if i earn, i'm independent & earn much more than many people in my country??” I am guessing when you say your country you might be from the east. It is a shame that the cost of living is 2-5 times what it is possible to actually earn, even with a university degree and good job. Hopefully this will change in the near future.
“He said the money spoiled you?” Did you buy a Mercedes Benz before you bought food or paid the rent? For some reason I don’t think so :D I would not worry about what this man told you. It hurts to end a relationship, but in your case it sounds like it would have hurt more to have stayed in it. You sound like a good girl, good person. Try to smile and keep believing in yourself! Cheers and good luck!

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
and for you host.........he doesnt deserve you , not about your work , about his violent nature . Actually , being a violent , he doesnt deserve any girl beside him. It was only a bad experience dear , life goes on.......Luck
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
It's good you got out of that relationship. He has no right to beat you for your job, especially if he's a worthless bum himself.
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
First of all, I answer to your first question by saying it's wrong to beat people, in any situation. It only shows there is no will, skill or chance to communicate, to solve problems other ways.
But after reading your post, I'm not willing to put the blame only on the guy. First you said he was nice and caring, and the problems started when he found out what your work really is. By telling that you answered your second question. You wanted to hide your real work, so are you yourself proud of your work? As I understood, you were already living together at that point. Have you ever wondered why problems arised? Trust. He lost it when he found out the truth. In that moment you weren't interpreter he loved, you were a camgirl, showing yourself for money to other men. Probably he was wondering what else you were hiding. Did he ask you to quit and find other work? Do it together?
Another thing what comes to my mind is that do you even really love him? Maybe you want just don't want to be alone. You start to explain how you paid everything, how he didn't buy you many gifts and the one he bought was cheap. Maybe this world has become so materialistic that it isn't a thought what matters most anymore, it should be expensive gift.
My opinion is that (like everyone else has suggested) you should break up. You could continue working and be independent person earning as much as you can. You could find a person who accepts your work and would love you anyway. He could find someone else who he can love and most importantly trust and hopefully be the nice and caring person again.

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
i agree about your thought on the gift. does not matter the cost, only the thought behind it.
as for the rest, well wow! from what she wrote her ex-bf was a lazy sod who she supported. yes trust is important in any relationship of course, but never should he have put a finger on her! if he felt he could not trust her anymore he could have easily packed his bag and walked out the door, but no he tried to rationalize it the same way you are doing in your post. he told her he did it because he loved her. well that is as much of a joke as your post was

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
My post wasn't meant as a joke but if you feel it was, it's your opinion.
Did I say it was right for him to beat her? I don't think so. Yes, he could've walked out the door. Also she could've left him in the first place. The original post doesn't tell if he didn't even try to find a job or couldn't get a good one. Also, if he would've known about her real work, would've he even fallen in love with her? Love is a funny thing, sometimes it's not easy to give up if there's hope of being able to fix things. Anyway, damage is done and it's time for both of them to move on...
Only my opinion.

You are welcome. It is understandable that you wish to stay incognito, but don’t forget you have friends here and I am sure that any time you would feel the need to talk one will be around to listen. Feel free to ccmail me anytime.
It is good that you made the post and I was rather surprised by some of the posts myself. Returned a bit of my faith in humanity actually. :D Do not worry about the boy, one day you will find one who will love you and except you no matter what. Love is never about violence and the only hand a man should put on a woman is a gentle one. Good luck and again don’t forget you have friends here. :D

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
Unfortunately, it will never be the same between you two... It's better to forget him and forget everything that happened. Don't let him convince you, he'll always be the same. He needs to be very matured to understand your job. Be careful with future relationships and be careful with men that say that your job is ok. A man that loves you will always be jealous of these kind of jobs...
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
"short term pain for long term gain."it's better to have some emotional pain now,than to live your life with fear.as time passes you will regain your self respect which is what this thing(he doesn't deserve to be called a person)has wanted to rtke from you.if he makes you feel worthless then it's easier for you to live with ANYTHING he does to you because he makes you feel as though no-one else would have you.you have made the first move now you just need to have the strength to be patient til the pain passes.remember you are a pretty & smart girl.good luck.
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
He is a class one asshole. You were OK before him and you will be OK without him.
it is a fact of life, of course a guy who loves you will be jealous of the attention you give your customers. He has two choices, trust you, knowing you are not f**king these guys in real and enjoying the benefits this brings, or get off his ass and get a job to support you.

no man that loves will beat his gf or wife..... it is only a sick "love" that can do this. your job here not deserve you of this. u bf is no good
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
It's an unfortunate fact of life that it seems good women get involved with bad men and good men involved with bad women. I'm glad to see you had the sense to dump the bum. In the future note the warning signs.
Doesn't work. Ok, anyone can have a stretch of poor luck, but it sounded to me as if he would've been contented to let you pay all the bills.
When he does work he doesn't make enough to get by, but spends what he makes on luxury items such as cigs and beers.
Jealousy. If he really trusted you he wouldn't feel the need to be jealous.
As far as hitting you, simply inexcusable. Any man who needs to hit a woman to feel he is a man doesn't even understand what it is to really be a man.
I wish you better luck in future relationships and I'm sorry you went through this experience.

RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
I've heard similar stories to this over the past year I have been in CC. How many guys live off there wives/gf's earnings here? I've also heard that guys in Russia beat their women quite often...is this true? There's no excuse for it so don't let it happen. Move on.
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
I think it is far MORE respectable to be on CC, even to get completely naked in video, than to live off your gf/bf for 6 months & eat at your parents house. I also think there is NEVER a good reason to beat a woman.
RE: my ex b/f beated me couse of jealouse to CC
well i am VERY proud of you for leaving him, even tho it took the second beating to motivate you.
a man should almost NEVER beat a female!! only exception being, if she is comming at him to harm or kill him''self defense ONLY"
there is not any valid reason otherwise! for him to harm you at all for working here with violence or even bad names, shows he is weak and will always beat females.
love hurts, move on and find yourself an honorable man.
lastly, if you decide to go back with him... that is the other unspoken reason to beat a female, it shows that you want to be beat.
anyways... best of luck to you and remember, time heals a broken heart.(K)

RE: Have you noticed how funny guys can be?
maybe if us men listened better we would understand more. All of us are sad at some point,all these girls want is to be happy. Give them a break sometimes. Gortensia is nearly always a laugh and very clever. Dont underestimate these girls.
RE: Have you noticed how funny guys can be?
<<Why am I not allowed to be myself?>>
The answer is very simple: to many guys, they are paying you (or will pay) to be entertained; they don't want your reality, but their fantasy. So you aren't 'allowed' to be yourself, but who they want you to be, i.e. friendly, smiling, flirting, etc. Those who know you will accept who you are. Those that don't? Well, you won't get along with everyone. That's just life.

RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
$500? jeeeeeeez, u can buy 10 cams for this price!!
RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
$500 for a web cam?? Wow, either you make a lot of money or computer equipment is really expensive where you live.
RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
she is from europe. and computer hardware is a lot more. i priced hard drives and some other parts the other day. was shocked to find the price twice as much for the same brand and part number
RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
i would not spend 500 dollars on just a cam but that is just me :D are you looking for a cam or are you looking for a digial video camera?
have people complained about your pics or video?

RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
Lena, "To Lena" is right. First you must clarify whether you are talking about a simple video cam or a digital video camera. Don't have a personal recommendation, but on CC's home page you will find in the menu "Viewer Services". Go there and click on Cam to Cam and Sound Features. Then look for the heading "What you need." CC has some recommendations about cams. Otherwise, do a Google search. I'm sure you can find some free evaluation of the stuff that's out there.
RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
Gorty, I did read it, but I will be the first to plead ignorance about these tech matters. It seems that it is I who needs the "clarification.!" lol! As I said, I had no recommendations. I just thought referring her to CC's recommendations might help.
P.S. When someone refers to a "cam" , is it to be understood as a video cam unless specifically called a "web cam?" Btw Gorty, she did NOT say, as you quote, "good digital video cam." She said, "digital cam" (post) or "good cam" (text). If you feel compelled to chide me with a quote as evidence, at least get it right girl!! lol! :)

i posted as "To Lena", the reason I asked was she could have meant "cam" to be camera or web cam I was pretty sure she meant video camera and not webcam but wanted to be sure :P
Sony and JVC have always been good brands of camera's.
If you have a friend in the US you may be able to get a better deal and get more value for your money.
Taxes on such things are not as much as Europe from what I have found. I almost bougth my digital camera in Bulgaria one summer, but lucky I waited until I got back to Texas. The same one was about 400 dollars cheaper because of tax

RE: CAN SOMEBODY GIVE GOOD ADVISE ABOUT DIGITAL CAM
Yeah, the differences in price (and currency valuation) often result in some things you wouldn't expect. For example, some years ago I read Japanese visiting the US would often buy Japanese cameras in the US because they were cheaper than in Japan. With the changes in currency valuations and ever-changing trade laws, I don't know if that is still true.
I do know that the dollar has fallen a great deal against most foreign currencies. I lived in Europe during the transition to the Euro, whose value initially declined against the dollar. At its lowest, you could buy one Euro for $0.80. Today one Euro costs $1.30 (i.e. 63% more!). So, with the dollar so weak, Lena might do well to ask someone here to buy it for her and ship it---if she can wait.

Essex (England) Hurricane Appeal
ESSEX HURRICANE APPEAL
A major hurricane (Hurricane Shazza) and earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter Scale hit Essex in the early hours of Thursday with its epicentre in Basildon. Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".
The hurricane decimated the area causing approximately £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Majorca and the Costa Del Sol were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historic burnt-out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their giros arrived.
Essex FM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Basildon. One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said, "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Victoria-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was skinning up and watching Trisha the next morning." Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.
The British Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos and Bone China from Poundland.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include:
Fila or Burberry baseball caps
Kappa tracksuit tops (his and hers)
Shell suits (female)
White sport socks
Rockport boots
Any other items usually sold in Primark.
Food parcels may be harder to come by but are needed all the same. Required foodstuffs include:
Microwave meals
Tins of baked beans
Ice cream
Cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew
22p buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms
£2 buys chips, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9
£5 buys B&H and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.
**Breaking news**
Rescue workers found a girl in the rubble smothered in raspberry alco-pop.
"Where are you bleeding from?" they asked,
"Romford" said the girl, "woss that gotta do wiv you?"
Please don't forward this to anyone living in Essex - oh, sod it, they won't be able to read it, anyway.

2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
not sure if this as been posted before here but I read of the tragic case of two beautiful Russian girls getting shot dead while enjoying an early morning drink on the beach, the shooting appears to be completely unprovoked, but speculation is rife that they may have been hookers and were killed by the local mafia, they came from prosperous families and had respectable jobs so that just doesnt ring true with me..a tragic waste of young lives for me.

RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
I live in Pattaya and doubt it's "unprovoked", these girls did something to piss off the wrong person. I'm sure more info will come out latter. Tragic loss of life though.
Amazing Thailand, where beer, women and life is cheap.

RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
Well it also depends on what your definition of "provoked" would be
RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
Hmm.I don't read news but I heard they were killed not by local mafia.They were killed by 1 guy who looked like a local person but he had an accomplice.The accomplice looked like a russian guy . There is a version that the accomplice came to Thailand at the same plane as the girls did.But anyway the case is still under investigation
RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
Odd. From the photo, they seemed like two pretty, delightful, and perfectly politically harmless young women. I wonder why on earth Putin would have them executed.
RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
Why do you think Putin is guilty in their death.It's like to blame your president or Queen or whatever in death of soldiers of your country or whatever.Your reasoning remind me a reasoning of little child who have very sharp polarization.Either white and good or bad and black.Imho the president of my country is very smart.Sure he makes some mistakes but I don't think he would be able to become a president of such a big country if his way of thinking was like yours.
Currently the trust potential of Putin is more than 80%.That means if we had president elecitons today 116 millions of russians would elect Putin.I don't think ppl in my country are the stupidest and they wouldn't choose Putin if there wasn't a reason.Perhaps some actions, laws etc that are ascribed to him may sound strange.But again remember you only the surface of the political actions.We don't know many things so we can't judge so easly.
For ex. some ppl were against the policy of keeping some money from the oil sales in national treasury in 2005.They asked"Why not to give the money out to ppl by increasing salary, may be building some buildings,etc?"But they didn't know that similar case was in another country some years ago and the country gave the money to ppl this caused a big inflation,troubles in oil industry,etc.
That was silly joke of yours. Perhaps even more ppl died in your own country yesterday but you don't know this.Cos in politics much is hidden from usual citizens eyes.

RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
Gort, i think the message about putin was meant to be a joke.
RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
True. I meant what I said only in jest. And even though The Kremlin made assassinations of "enemies of the Russian regime" abroad officially legal last July, for the record I don't even believe that Putin was behind Litvinenko scarfing down that radioactive plate of sushi in London.
Yushchenko's poisoning though, Putin was totally, definitely 100% behind that.

To Gortensia
Jokes are made about Bush & Blair as well as Putin. If you're that powerful you are going to have the piss taken out of you and jokes made about you.
All leaders are attacked seriously or in jest as that's the people are free to do although some rumours state that Putin does not like being critised especially on TV.
Putin, like most leaders nowadays, use the power of media (mostly TV) to achieve their political aims. They will then use/abuse their power to get their way - Putin cutting of oil to Ukraine, Bush threatening sanctions against Iraq - as they all want to control.
All people need to be vigilante of their leaders especially those that legalise the assassinations of the enemies of Russia or believe that they can unlawfully imprison anyone who they think is a terrorist without evidence or without trial.
In the end though, the comment made was a joke - don't be so sensitive. I'm from UK but I laugh at jokes made about the politicians here even when related to the horrors in Iraq.

RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
is it that time for the month for you, you sure seem crabby today
RE: 2 Russian girls shot dead in Thailand
That was the reply to Russophile and etc who make the silly jokes, funny comments in each thread about my country. I just told that I thought at this thread but it wasn't a reply only to Russophile.I was just lazy to copy this or to divide the post on several and post it in each such thread, neither I wanted to start a new post and cause a new mastication. I don't like when come ppl pick on my country.
Each country had not nice periods in it's history:slaves, nacism, bad relationship to its colonies,etc.This doesn't mean that we should now make silly jokes about this at each convenient case, recall the cases any time, etc.
Jokes can be very different.For example if someone made a mistake and another guy told:"Ohh you're too smart,...".This doesnt mean that he really thinks so but he's just using irony.
Btw Bob if you were a girl you wouldn't be so sure that all the girls are crabby at some time of the month cos they 're having their periods.You can't know what it is till you experienced this.You just repeat what you heard.
Some girls have not good mood, unpleasant feelings, etc at such time of the month but others feel the raise of mood, get extra strenghts and have very good mood .

Doc's humorous quote refers to a current medical diagnosis in the States: Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). But it seems the naked women can keep your attention. So no ADHD in this respect, huh dude? lol! :)
Thoughts on Current Conditions in Russia & the US
Observer,
Thanks for the link to the Guardian article about Russia. After a visit there in 1998 I have followed with keen interest the political, social and economic developments there. Of special interest of late have been the reports on the murders of Politkovskaya and Litvinenko. I have also followed reports about the emergence of the oil oligarchs (Khodorkovsky, Nevzlin, Lebedev, Abramovich, Berezovsky, et al.). Add to this the machinations of the Kremlin, US oil companies, and the Russian mafia---their significant presence in the US and Israel--- and you have the makings of stories of international intrigue that John Le Carre would envy!
Though your post was to bring our attention to an interesting article about life in post-communist Russia, the thread that followed had a distinctly American flavor. After reading the first reply to your post and the humorous comment by Doc that followed, I thought how much these brief exchanges said about a certain aspect of American life. The first commentator says, perhaps with tongue in cheek, that the long article you referenced seemed to him more “like a book” than an article. Publishers of popular newspapers and magazines know that the public has a shorter and shorter attention span. They understand they are but one of many interests that vie for people’s attention. More and more people, if they read at all, get their news from the internet. I have no problem with getting news from the internet. Indeed it has enabled the curious to access media from around the world. Since the US has no genuinely liberal daily like the Guardian, it is great to be able to find it on the internet. What is disturbing about the mainstream media in the US, however, is the undeniable fact that the line between news and entertainment is now blurred to a frightening extent. The shameless reporting of yet another salacious tale of a Hollywood movie star is commonplace now with nominally serious news organizations. The mainstream news outlets have been co-opted by commercial and ideological interests to such an extent that even their staunchest defenders can no longer deny the danger this presents to the preservation of liberty.
Doc’s quote referenced one of the current diagnoses for a modern condition. ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), along with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) are two diagnoses that have the official imprimatur of the American medical community. This in turn opens markets for the pharmaceutical firms to sell highly profitable drugs for the treatment of same---with, at best, mixed results. It also allows school systems to classify more children as “learning disabled”---oh, oh sorry that would be “learning challenged”---and reap the benefits of greater Federal dollars designated for these children.
You might say my appraisal is overly cynical if it were not true. The number of people, children and adults alike, who have only recently been diagnosed with these dubious maladies has been on the increase. And it is no coincidence that the pharmaceutical industry’s full press marketing effort to “educate” physicians is tied to this. Likewise with children being classified as “learning disabled” by school systems, there has been a marked increase in the number of children who are suddenly found to suffer from some hitherto undiscovered “disability.”
But no wonder people are distracted. Here in America we are blindsided ‘nine ways from Sunday’ by the prerogatives of mass commercialism. At every waking moment there is someone or something trying to get your “attention.” It’s hard to escape it. You can’t even take a piss in America anymore without someone soliciting you to buy something. It’s really true! Increasingly restaurants and other businesses are putting advertising bulletin boards above the urinals in men’s restrooms!! Or there is---perhaps in addition to---a spoken ad being delivered over the sound system in the restroom!
Perhaps for this reason a little book titled, “On Bullshit,” by Harry G. Frankfurt (Princeton University Press) is one of the very best selling titles in the history of philosophy. Barnes and Noble had the small volume displayed at its check out counters and it was selling like hotcakes! I am at least comforted by the thought that many Americans instinctively sense that something stinks here in America, something that has perverted so many of the principles on which it was founded. Americans need to pay more attention to the things that imperil their liberty and not let themselves be distracted by the contemptible ideological designs of propagandist outlets like Fox News and/or the omnipresent commercial interests that swarm around us like pests. Attention shoppers!

ok,ready!!!
Two female passengers of mature years were sitting on the foredeck of the Queen Mary sunning themselves as the endless parade of"beautiful people"promenaded past.Though strangers,they got to talking.
"Ahh,"one sighs in a Scottish brogue."This is the life.We've scrimped & saved for years & years to escape from drudgery & enjoy this luxury.It's our first ever cruise.What about you?"
"It's our sixth,or maybe seventh.i'm not altogether sure."the other lady replies.
"Goodness gracious."responds the maiden voyager."How ever could you afford all those?You'd have to be millionaires."
"Not at all."says the well-travelled one."It's just that my husband works for Cunard."
"Well,"says the first one,in a burst of dudgeon."My husband works fookin' "ard too,but but this is the first cruise we could afford!!"

"Goodness gracious."responds the maiden voyager."How ever could you afford all those?You'd have to be millionaires."
"Not at all."says the well-travelled one."It's just that my husband works for Cunard."
"Well,"says the first one,in a burst of dudgeon."My husband works fookin' "ard too,but but this is the first cruise we could afford!!"

RE: q for hosts - whos had cosmetic surgery
Dhanny, not a nice post in viewers forum, u didnt have to be such a dick
RE: q for hosts - whos had cosmetic surgery
I think he must have been pretending as I would have thought no one could be as big a dick as he was in real life.
RE: q for hosts - whos had cosmetic surgery

RE: quession
every time when a viewer tells me on video that he feels horny, i know he's honest and his feelings are true =))
RE: quession
SV, I've told the story of one of the first Cynics, Diogenes. It goes right to the heart of your question, so I'll repeat it:
It's said that Diogenes used to walk around the agora (market place) in broad daylight holding up a lantern. When someone asked him why he said, "I'm looking for an honest man." :)

RE: quession
If it had been me, after Diogenes said that, I would have replied " It's such a pity that you didn't find one when you looked into the mirror this morning and you now must go through all this trouble." :P
RE: quession
That's the essential flaw with cynicism, isn't it? While it purports to "know" more or offer a kind of jaded wisdom, the knowledge it most lacks is the most important of all: self-knowledge. That's why we regard Socrates as wise and the Cynic Diogenes as, well, "cynical!"
If you could only see...
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin you love but you dont
You give your love but you wont
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Seems the road less traveled
Shows happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
Thats what you gotta do
Sayin you love but you dont
You give your love but you wont
Youre stretching out your arms to something thats just not there
Sayin you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can
If you could only see the way she loves me
