Hate duplicating posts, but I did recently read "The Three Emperors" and one thing that left a deep impression on me is that even if WWI would not have happened as it did, or when it did, the fact is that it was almost inevitable that ideals and machoisms would have collided sooner or later. There were so many points…

Reading "The Three Emperors", it became crystal clear just how, pardon the word, silly the whole war was, or at least its inception. How quickly things went from boasting to desperately trying to contain the situation to just how quickly things got out of control.

The possibilities are all there, and some are more viable than others. Funny, I also had the same pact with my ex but she became obsessed with finding a boyfriend and settling down, and she changed so much that I hardly recognized her by the end, and our friendship has been permanently put on hold, sort of speak, so…

Beautiful. I often feel a little left out because being gay I know that this is one door that's closed to me (not locked, just closed), even though I would love to be a father, and would be better than so many men out there who take it all for granted. Sigh...

I didn't know that Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin finally saw the light and seceded from the Union to join the land of the Great White North...

And they say cats are evil! Those damn meow dogs are finally exposed!

A great lesson not learned, is all I see in this video. Most kids are just generally so ridiculously stupid it's no wonder they grow up to be adults like the hero who allowed that deathtrap to roll down a hill, with a kid holding on for dear life on the roof, right in the path of a swing set. Yeah, lucky day for…

You're right, that was rather bitchy and unnecessary on my part...

Dude what are you going on about? I didn't paraphrase, it's part of the article, and I never condemned it either.

"reflecting a warped vision of the activity around it" - unless they simply meant that literally.

Two things irk me: 1. UNStudio seems like the sort of business that loves money. 2. They built a "sculpture" in front of a shopping mall in China to make a statement about the "warped vision of the activity around [consumerism]" Shoppin mall, China, studio loves money ... they should have instead made a piece of…

I recall reading about this years ago (back in 2006 to be exact, when I was in the market to buy my a new car) and what I recall is that different countries measure by different standards - for example, fuel consumption varies depending on the speed, how many stop-and-go is applied within the calculation, even the…

Well it can be as simple as a "bromance", but it can be as intense as a straight guy totally being open to getting head by another guy - that is a homosexual act, but it does not make the person "gay" - feel free to get on various forums if you want to get more elaborate examples on this theme. I think people…

Nah I don't think it's ever really a question, at least not internally - claiming "confusion" is BS. The only point of confusion is "yup I'm homo, now what?" - that's where the confusion sets in. Or "damn I beat that brave openly gay guy up in high school because I'm a weak-ass douche closeted asshole bully, how…

Yeah, to this day I have to argue the fact that just because I definitely enjoyed the physical pleasure of it all, I'm not bisexual, nor could I go on and have sex with girls on that basis alone. But I tell you, any gay man who had the chance to be with a girl who says that they did not like the feel of a vagina is…

I wasted no time with such mundane matters as clothing removal!

I was a closeted gay and so when it came to losing my virginity to my girlfriend, trust me, I took my time taking off my clothes (although I really enjoyed the sex itself, if that makes any sense...)

Is there a matching technique with pants that you'd be willing to show us? :P

I don't disagree with much of anything you write here, though, you're definitely honing in to the point I think maybe was lost on me (and others) when you merely wrote that "sex for pleasure is an incredibly recent thought process that's really only been around for about 100 years." In any event, I should have been…

"...You also have to realize that sex for pleasure is an incredibly recent thought process that's really only been around for about 100 years."
