Oi! And I thought dgraff had lost his last marble and 2as stark raving mad! But you knew exactly what he was talking about so I no longer think he's a looney tune, I just think he's a weirdo!
By bella! [Ignore] 06,Oct,23 21:11 other posts 
Here's the tune, dgraff.


King Missile, DETACHABLE PENIS

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time.
It's detachable.
This comes in handy a lot of the time.
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble,
Or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,
And the next morning I can't for the life of me
Remember what I did with it.
First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.
So I called up the place where the party was,
They hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet
'Cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time.
So I told them if it pops up to let me know.
I called a few people who were at the party,
But they were no help either.
I was starting to get desperate.
I really don't like being without my penis for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man,
And I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.
After a few hours of searching the house,
And calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed,
So I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.
Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place,
Where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my penis lying on a blanket
Next to a broken toaster oven.
Some guy was selling it.
I had to buy it off him.
He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.
I took it home, washed it off,
And put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached,
But I don't know.
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,
I like having a detachable penis.

Hi admin

Regarding YOUR Abuse Panel GUIDELINES to be considered by the eligible voting members;

"No guidelines. If you do not have any common sense you should not participate here!"

Perhaps you can update the guidelines to include your thoughts on members who choose to post internet pictures that pretend they own and/or are of them. Note the current referral, there seems to be a couple of voting members that don't possess "common sense".
By #610414 06,Oct,23 10:06
Talking about the current member being evaluated, this is from Admin:
“Don't use images from porn site so that people mistakingly think it's you on them.”
Perhaps, he believes it’s not that bad. Personally, I don’t like how he’s advertising for sucking bottoms, but, unless he stole all the pics, they all look like the same person. I’m going to hold off.
By bella! [Ignore] 06,Oct,23 10:37 other posts 
In my opinion, they do NOT appear to be the same person. Apparently, the member is trying to do a bit of "damage control" by posting this blog.

/blogs/55546.html

He's attempting to account for/justify/fabricate why there is a difference in hair color and body weight. My opinion is that anyone who believes the rationale posted and that the member claims to be 41 years old is living in la-la-land.

You don't get it. I don't care about occasional internet pics, but if the community think it's not the place for them here, I will go with the community. That was kinda the main point I made the panel because of - I got tired of arguing with members some of whom are furious about internet pics and some genuinely think that profiles with beautiful internet pics are the best part of this site. I had to argue in private chat with both on a regular basis. And it was annoying and time consuming. "This profile with internet pics undermines honest members posting poorly made amateur pics" / "A-a-a, you deleted my favorite profile only because it had 4 internet pics".

I'm only strictly against deleting members who post occasional memes and humor because it's under fair use doctrine by default. But this seems to be so nuanced that most of people here can't understand it, even you, if I remember correctly I tried to explain it several times to you too. So I gave up. And I honestly don't care if the panel decides to delete a members who has noticeable proportion of internet images. And I would appreciate if you stop dragging me into this every time.
By bella! [Ignore] 06,Oct,23 12:01 other posts 
Thank you for your response.

I do believe I understand your position on members posting internet pics which is the OCCASIONAL picture and as long as the posting member DOES NOT CLAIM "OWNERSHIP", ie not claiming it is their girlfriend/boyfriend/fuck buddy, etc.

The current referred member has 7 visible pictures of which four I was able to find as being borrowed from the internet. You even posted message on the member's wall reminding him not to use porn site images that the membership might mistake as being him.

Although the titles on his pictures do not say what do you think of MY butt/balls/cock/panties/hairdo/etc, his blogs allude to the idea that the pictures he has posted are of him.

Also, I will TRY not to drag you into matters like this. As I said, I believe that I understand your position regarding internet pictures however it is my opinion that there are a number of members that do not understand your opinion.

This was not a good time to do this.They are saying he did not stick with the deal he made in january about something.
There is enough issues to deal with. Democrats helped vote him out so it would only be logical they could help vote a new 1.

Man kebmo you can say that again
My washing machine locked up a couple months ago and when I went to move it out of the house I popped a hernia I’ve been walking around with a lump the size of an orange and wearing an ace bandage around it for support
Hey what can I say when it rains it pours
By kebmo [Ignore] 04,Oct,23 09:36 other posts 
In restaurants there is a lot of heavy lifting. Sauces, soups, beets and dirty deep fryer oil to name a few. Not only are they handled hot after they are cooked but they are re-handled daily to put them on to the hotline for dinner. Because of this, I know a lot of cooks who are old before their time with back, hip and knee problems leading the way.
I have spent the last 30 years telling people that just because you can lift something doesn’t mean you should. Asking for help it’s not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of experience!

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Trying finding a decent washing machine. it is a loosing battle. the new pos we got here at home, doesn't agitate the clothes, won't just fill up with water, it squirts some in, waits, squirts some in, all made to "save energy 'trouble it is take roughly 3 hours for it to wash a load of clothes.
We are on a well and the water pressure is not like someone on city water with great pressure.
I just read our pool pumps, furnaces and some other things have been severely regulated just in the past couple days.

Talking about well water, our place in Central Florida has a water well and the water is barely good to shower and dish washing. We quit using the dishwasher as the water valve gets clogged in no time at all. Same with the washing machine. There’s a huge water filter but we have to back flush it weekly. We talked to a well drilling company and the tech told us that the whole area has cruddy well water. He did sanitize it but I wouldn’t give it to a dog. We brush our teeth with bottled water.

We replaced ours here at home about 4 years ago, we are on a well in a rural area ,our water sadly has alot of iron content. Water heaters have a rod in them to reacts to whatever else was in our water and you could try to take a shower and you would have to use the toilet to get a better smell in the bathroom. finally cut the rod out and it took 2 weeks to get the smell out of the plumbing and water.

Can someone explain to me how on the SYC side under the Pussies category. The first place picture is a girl with clothes on with 2 votes, 4 comments, and 140 views, and the second place picture of a pussy has 32 votes, 25 comments, and 220 views ???????????????
By bella! [Ignore] 03,Oct,23 14:30 other posts 
Sounds like something that admin could explain.

Seriously, can YOU explain how you were able to navigate to the Most Popular PUSSY category? I'm just going to admit that I'm totally lost since SYD and SYC were consolidated into one site. I can get to the PUSSY page, the one with the most recent uploads but beyond that, I struggle.
By admin [Ignore] 04,Oct,23 07:51 other posts 
Because it's not linear.

Think about it. Popular page displays pics from 5 past days. If it was about plain views/votes older pics would almost always have preference over recently uploaded and fresh pics would only appear on it at the end of 5 days period. Instead it estimates not all visits from the beginning but has a gravity towards recent visits. If over past several hours some pic received essentially more visits than some previously uploaded pic it can become more popular even if it has less total vivists.

Also, if votes come from the same source they are discounted. I know that some of members here do "circle jerking" when one votes for another's pics many times in order to bump each others pics higher. And it's accounted for. Multiple votes from one source are not "worth" the same as votes from multiple sources. I tried to explain it to you once, but you chose to do not believe me and spread misinformation that it's about favorites now, not votes. It's not. It's just that you can't add to favorites more than 1 time and statiscically favorites somewhat correspond to votes coming from different sources, not to votes coming from the same source. So you made a fairly rational conclusion that it matters. But favorites do not count in the popularity formula at all.

When you see your friends in the united states all depressed and nothing to laugh about ,you put a man in as winner of your Miss country contest.
Gives others a break from being laughed at to.
Miss Netherlands doesn't have a penis.
I didn't check, but I wouldn't mind to.
To most Dutch people, she qualifies as a 'woman'.
We are proud of that open-mindedness.

"Open-mindedness is the willingness to search actively for evidence against one's favored beliefs, plans, or goals, and to weigh such evidence fairly when it is available. Being open-minded does not imply that one is indecisive, wishy-washy, or incapable of thinking for one's self."

We have evidence that 'sex' and 'gender' are different social constructs, where we define 'sex' as a term for several biological characteristics, that are about 98%-99% binary and where we define 'gender' as the term that describes everything else, that is socially related with biological sex, but is based on culture and identity.

When the Miss Netherlands organization, accepts a candidate as woman, they allow biological women as well as people who identify as women, as gender. That is open-minded according the definition of open-minded.

There is some nationalism hiding in my skeptical bones.
I have reason to be very skeptical about a lot of things
that are happening in my country, but I also have reason for pride.
We don't plant a flag in our yard, while we simultaneously call
for civil war and the destruction of our state and our democracy.
We hang out the flag once or twice per year and if some people
are disgruntled enough to hang the flag upside-down, we value
the freedom of speech to do so.



We don't want our kids indoctrinated with undeserved nationalism,
by making them salute a flag or recite a pledge of allegiance.
If our elected representatives want us to be proud and loyal,
they fucking better deserve it, by respecting the value and values
of everyone living within our borders.

----------------------------------------------------------

I think the Pennsylvania Dutch bastardized our expressions a bit.
We have lots of expressions with cows in them, but not throwing them over the fence. We have:
- Promising someone cows with golden horns (=promising something beautiful but not delivering)
- Getting old cows out of the ditch (=bringing old histories back to the stage)
- Taking the bull by the horns (= tackling a difficult, dangerous undertaking in the right way)

We also have the expression "throwing over the fence",
which means shifting tasks and responsibilities to someone else.

The boy who plugged the dyke with his finger is actually not very well known in my country. It's apparently based on a story.

I'm not sure how you can save people by fingering their nice warm butt hole though. Maybe a prostate exam?

We do make fun of anal sex though. We have this statue in the middle of a square in Rotterdam:



It's supposed to be Santa Claus, but we call him 'Kabouter Buttplug' (Leprechaun Buttplug). Some people were outraged for a while, but now almost everyone accepts it as an example of Dutch culture and a good tourist attraction.

The flag does not represent the CURRENT representees to most of us,it represents those that sacrificed BEFORE us. Just as your utopia would be under nazi rule had it not been for the US and others, we know we would be speaking japanese if it weren't for 1000's that gave their lives to save us.
That is why our flag is planted in the yard. you are not proud of your history,or your country,but yet it's past is the reason for your joy now.
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 28,Sep,23 08:06 other posts 
You're probably referring to the confederate flag.
The Stars and Stripes represented the South of the US too,
before the South seceded from the union.
I think it's shameful that your side still defends that flag.
It doesn't represent the South, it represents its secession.
Just like the Nazi flag doesn't represent Germany, but the Nazi's.
The Germans also sacrificed lots of people, but they are not
proud of their history and see the Nazi flag as a symbol for evil.

There are conflicts where one side is clearly better than the other.
In WWII, the nazi's were clearly the bad side. Germans realize that.
In the American civil war, the Confederacy was clearly the bad side.
When are you going to realize that and stop supporting its symbols?

There are lots of parts of Dutch history that I am proud of,
but I'm mostly proud of our ability to look at our history
and learn from our mistakes, so we can be better in the future.
Learning from past mistakes and doing better is the reason for my joy now.
By phart [Ignore] 28,Sep,23 10:13 other posts 
actually no I was refering to the US flag but I have the Confederate flag flying as well. For similar reasons.
to remember the fallen that tryed to save the south from northern supression .and it is STILL being suppressed today.
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 28,Sep,23 12:20 other posts 
We remember the fallen on Remembrance Day (May 4th) and then the flag goes half-mast, but other than that, we don't associate war and it's victims with our flag. They died for for 'people and country', maybe some minority might include the king or queen, but no one fights for the flag or the national anthem or the colour orange or the shield or any other symbolism. Soldiers might salute to the flag when it's raised, but that's mostly it.
I think it's healthy for a citizen to not get caught up in nationalism, patriotism or group loyalty too much. That's also a form of suppression. Think about what they can make you do and suffer, under the call for loyalty towards your country or your ideology.

I hear about that Northern suppression a lot. I think that's your victim complex again. Especially about those taxes. The red states are mostly net receivers, while the blue states are net-payers. Not all of them, but if you add it all up, red states are better of for the money they contribute. California contributes the biggest bulk of money, but they only get back $0.65 to the dollar. In the top ten dependent states, only three are blue. In the top ten states who get the least back for their tax-dollar, only two are red states.

Those red states are also pretty damn free to make laws as conservative as they want. There are still limits, mostly enforced by the constitution, but lately conservatives have turned the law far to their side, while the majority of the country doesn't agree with that. But, if you can point to specific ways the North suppresses the South, I'm interested to hear them.

Interesting, "I think it's healthy for a citizen to not get caught up in nationalism, patriotism or group loyalty too much."

So you do not feel appreciative toward your military for their protection? Very interesting, indeed!
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 29,Sep,23 03:42 other posts 
Of course I feel appreciative toward our military for their protection.
In fact, for most of the work they do on peace missions, I feel deep respect.
That's all possible, without 'getting caught up in nationalism, patriotism
or group loyalty too much'.

It's assessing the situation and judging it to be very positive,
it's not starting from the prerequisite thought; 'We Are Awesome!'.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
By phart [Ignore] 29,Sep,23 10:56 other posts 
no I don't, How can you feel appreciative and somehow not have positive feelings, which loosely translates to patriotism for your country? Makes no sense. IF you have no devotion to your country as in putting it's needs ahead of others, then you are not appreciative.

Patriotism,
the quality of being patriotic; devotion to and vigorous support for one's country.
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 29,Sep,23 12:55 other posts 
I guessed you were smarter. OK, I'll try to be even more clear.

I look at my country critically. When it does well, I'm appreciative.
When my country acts in a way I condone, I support that action.
My country doesn't get my devotion, support or pride by default,
but it has surely EARNED it. That's why I contribute to society in several ways, pay taxes, obey the law and not take advantage of the system.
It's why, during the Covid-19 crisis, I followed the guidelines of my government and trusted their appeal to get vaccinated. I did my part to slow the spread of the virus, to protect my fellow citizens and reduce damage on the community.
My loyalty still isn't blind. If my country requires my support for a good cause, I'm willing to sacrifice, but if they are asking it for a cause that I judge to be malevolent or corrupt, they will find me in opposition.
I can be critical of my country, while also being appreciative.

Patriotism or nationalism is the other way around; it demands loyalty, devotion, support and pride unconditionally and demands blind trust,
that everything the country or group does is good by definition,
BECAUSE it's done by your country or your group.

Now do you understand what I'm saying?
To come back to patriotism, have you heard that story before, when Donald Trump and his chief of staff John Kelly visited Arlington National Cemetery?
Kelly’s son Robert is buried in Section 60. A first lieutenant in the Marine Corps, Robert Kelly was killed in 2010 in Afghanistan. He was 29.

While standing by Robert Kelly’s grave, Trump turned directly to his father
and said, “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”
John Kelly recently confirmed that story.

Remember the other story, about Trump disparaging US war dead as ‘losers’ and ‘suckers’ at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in 2018?

Since when would such a liberal government not allow people to drink?
Drinking was never illegal here. about 100 years ago, they tried to restrict it a bit, but that didn't go anywhere. Adults can buy alcohol from 18 years old here.
It's 21 in your country.
Weed has been legal to buy here since 1976.
Prostitution as a job is legal here since 2000.
Since 1984 is abortion legal, under specific restrictions.
In 2001, The Netherlands was the first country to have gay marriage.
Since 2002, euthanasia and assisted suicide have been permitted under certain conditions in the Netherlands.

The Transgender Act 2014 regulates how you can change your first name and gender in the Personal Records Database (BRP) and therefore on your passport or driver's license. You must be at least 16 years old and have an expert statement. If Miss Netherlands is a woman by law, she cannot be excluded from anything that allows women to enter in a competition, unless some board decides that she has an unfair advantage of some sort, which happens to women, who were designated as woman at birth, sometimes too.

I don't think there are many liberal rights left, that we don't have yet.
But, suggestions are welcome.
In some areas of our country houses do look alike a lot. Those neighborhoods
are called 'Vinex neighborhoods'. Those were build during only a few decades,
to provide affordable housing for the masses, by building efficiently.
People didn't like living there much, so they left that system.

I grew up in a 'Vinex neighborhood', but it was still better than what I've seen about your suburbs. What you have are just rows of white houses with some squares of roads around it. Even our most boring 'Vinex neighborhoods' have ditches, children's playgrounds, squares, tree borders and winding streets.

And we didn't give whole neighborhoods just numbered streets from 1st to 228th. Every neighborhood got some category to name the streets to, like painters, composers, scientists, poets, politicians, birds, herbs, vegetables, trees, flowers, types of mills, jobs, cities, countries, etc. There are the Amerikastraat, Amerikalaan, Amerikaplein. That does result in getting very lost and endless searches though, if you are looking for an address in an unknown neighborhood.

However, most of the country doesn't look like that, because most of our cities are many hundreds of years old. If you're talking about Rotterdam, where 'Kabouter Buttplug' is located, yeah, that's not the prettiest place in my country. It's also more than 700 years old, but a big part was flattened during WWII. They had to rebuild it quickly, for the survivors to live somewhere again. They did try to give some creative people a hand in making it nice, but it could cost that much then.
Some poor neighborhoods ended up an eyesore.

Still, these houses don't look alike:

Amsterdam:

your Vinex houses sound like our mill hills. Cotton mills would build homes near the mills so people could live and work in the same neighborhoods. worked well for the city dwellers.

We had something similar like that, but Vinex neighborhoods were city planning projects, organized by the local governments, that hired designers and than outsourced the projects to big construction companies.

A longer time ago, we also had housing projects from big companies like Philips, Bata (a shoe manufacturer) and mining companies. The result was very similar, but privately realized in the vicinity of the factories or mines, instead of publicly organized where the local government wanted to develop an area.
