well, some here think that all we do is sit around a post naughty pics and do no charitable or volunteer work.
i thought we could see who does what for their respective communities.
valis= free computer support dallas shakespeare festival + on the wing again bird sanctuary/rescue, photopgraphic web hosting services for the bob marley festival of dallas, am about to start w/the down's syndrome guild of dallas doing web support and event work/soliciting charitable donations from companies, and my teaching that means working many hours unpaid to help my students personally/educationally.
You said:
"My post revolved around the wasted time and energy involved in posting to threads that have little worth."
I ask "define 'little worth'? Isnt that a relative term, worth being defined by the reader/poster? What may be worthless to me may be invaluble to someone else.

My donation to the cause is forming and running Sons of Liberty Riders, a national motorcycle group that purposely and loudly defends the constitution while trying to trim down the govt to a reasonable level. That means trying to get Environmental laws changed or removed, for one thing, and dropping all the govt agencies, for another.
Besides that, I talk to schools and businesses about driving a car or truck around motorcycles. My daughter took me as her show-and-tell item in kindygarden, and I go every year now. I like kids, lots.
I am also involved in Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA).
Could I use my "spare time" more wisely than reading judgemental ramblings on here? Maybe, maybe not.

the original post was here:.

it was about my car getting broken into and losing some car stereo equipment.. anyways!.
One drunken nite, we were sitting around talking about how to protect our Harleys from thieves... I was an explosives guy in the army, I said I wanted to put a 1/4 lb of C$ under my seat, wired to a switch, then to the ignition.... switch on, BOOM... switch off, nothing. We thought it was a great idea.
After I sobered up, I realized that I would only hurt myself.... getting on the bike trashed and forgetting the switch.... BOOM.
I never pursued it.....

does every issue of morality have to be compared with the thinking and teaching of jehovahs witnesses?
simply because you are no longer jehovahs witnesses does that mean that you flaunt all moral authority and engaged in any perverted pleasure that you have a mind to?
because your morality is no longer legislated by a pseudo religious organization does that give you license to engage in all acts of "immorality" and refer to it "as just having fun.
My turn.....
I dont believe I can offend anyone, nor can anyone offend me. Being offended is an emotion that only I control, no one else. Like hate, love, or any of the others, it is not controlable by anyone but me. That said, I dont feel any of the boobies thread could be offensive to anyone that didnt let it be, or want it to be.
One thing I did notice, bigtime, was the pride of some of the posters. It is my guess that many of them, after leaving the F'd up JW's, had little or no esteem (self worth). That thread lifted a few, mostly womens, worth in themselves quite a bit. I watched it happen, it was cool.
Valis and Naebs have the most points so far, in my own tally of the score. Without guidelines, where are the limits? And, who defines "proper" or "acceptable"?
OK, back at it... I like to watch a good debate.

i remember a number of years ago when mickey spillane left the jws and returned to book writing.
does anyone know his current status?
i don't hear anything about him today.
i must say that reading all these posts have really brought back so many memories for me.
i had a terrible experience at my hearing, which i believe now, really bordered on sexual abuse of the mental kind.. our congregation was small.
this was difficult for the few young people that attended.
I walked out on the meeting they tried to have with me.... I was 16, just got outta jail.... they were warning me to NOT associate with the other youths. I laffed and walked.

or do other chores?
any here archaic and expect the woman to do all of the work?
my mother taught me that women don't need our help, but we should give it anyway, to show our love.
My wife knows I will do whatever she asks me to do, if she needs help. We both look at things as guy jobs and gal jobs..... she does laundry and cooking, I do garbage and auto stuff...... but, I did it all when I was single.
When home on leave from the army, I dumped all my clothes on her apt floor... everything was the same shade of green, even my white tshirts..... I was told that I will NEVER touch laundry. I agreed, and never have. While doing dishes years ago, she said " I will do them, you are too damned slow"... I agreed and didnt do them for years. Life is good.

.........and men.
how does a person get her mate back into her/his life?
is their tips or tricks that you could share to get a man to fall deeper in love w/ you, how do you rejuvinate(sp) the spark, how do you make it always feel like the first time you've met and fell in love?
Take it from a guy that lived by the 3 F's all my life.... dont smother him trying to get him back. It will repel him more, at least it did me. I got lucky and found one that doesnt like all the mushy shit, and never tells me what to do.
Move on, find another, if that dont work, find another, etc.....

DOH.. make that 4 F's
