• Masturbation may prevent prostate cancer - Yahoo! News
  See, it is good for you: Studies on animals have shown that carcinogens like 3-methylchloranthrene can be harbored in the prostate. Frequent ejaculation encourages the cancer-inducing fluids to \"flush out.\"

• Stop Boris blog » The psephologistâ™s guide to stopping Boris
  An excellent examination of the London voting system and how to use it to stop Boris, equally applies if you stop Ken. The \"excellent\" bit may be related to the bits they've quoted from an \"expert psephologist\". I'm an expert. Weird.

and people wonder why I'd never move to a southern state (I don't want to generalize, but look at these laws!) I don't care what people do in their house or what they stick where. That's their business. I'm sure the laws are based on anti-gay /pro- neanderthal-like male sentiment - Women MUST depend on a man for all needs. What would happen to the world if they didn't? *rolls eyes*
I'm trying to figure out the problem they have with what gay men do. Gay bedroom activities are not hurting the straight manly-men. Are the manly men jealous? I mean, I can see that they don't want the woman to use the vibrator. They want in on that action. But they don't want in on the gay action. I can only assume it's because they don't understand "gay" so it must be a bad thing and must be abolished.

I'm heartened to see the laws are finally changing. Then we can focus on REAL issues.

I think the mindset is If you don't agree with me, you are wrong, and abnormal, and your opinion must be changed by any means necessary. Whereas I don't mind people making up their own minds on whatever they like, as long as they afford me the same luxury. Of course, the problem is that people who don't want to let me make up my own mind often accuse me of hypocrisy when I object to them trying to change my mind on various matters, oblivious to their own hypocrisy.

Well said! I wish more people would figure that out. I'm all for open discussion, as long people realize that the point is not to make you switch to one side. There is much to learn from hearing all sides.
In the end, be true to yourself.
