Take Me To The Twilight Zone

February 27, 2014

the very fact that this girl had to come up with clever retort. And the fact that they blanked his

face. Had this been the other way around. Well, we see that happening and the results daily.

The tables need to be turned.

That he thinks he can act this way in the first place ...says a lot ... I think.

Reminded me of a song ... a Very Democratic Song as some here should recall ...

and see how I said ... "like a dog"

analogy.
metaphor.
simile.
literary device.

reading comprehension.

juried post allowed to stand.

Riff is free to post whatever she wants and I can sit here and think whatever I want.

Who are you? The thought police that you will try to mind control my thoughts ...?

Maybe I expressed myself clumsily and for that I apologize but, the jurors understood so I do not think it was so awkwardly worded that the majority of DU3 did not understand what I was trying to say.

Define your own dignity and, live your life accordingly.

Respect the fact that DU3 is a public internet space and, not everyone wants your dignity shoved in their dignity.

Good fences make good neighbors.

DU3 is not your bedroom. It is a political message board and, I think for the most part we are here to discuss politics and, how to get more Democrats elected to office.

There are plenty of forums/groups in this large tent.

I am sure we can direct you to ponies down the hall to the left and, furries are downstairs in the basement keeping Grovelbot company.

This might be relevant to the discussions taking place ... I posted it in Boston Bean's thread



Meet Pony. She is an orangutan from a small village in Borneo, where they cut down the rain forest to render the palm oil that gets sold abroad and made into lip salve, ice cream, chocolates, and cheese crackers.

VICE: So tell us about Pony.

Michelle Desilets [Director of the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation]: Pony is an orangutan from a prostitute village in Borneo. We found her chained to a wall, lying on a mattress. She had been shaved all over her body.

I want to cry.

If a man walked near her, she would turn herself around, present herself, and start gyrating and going through the motions. She was being used as a sex slave. She was probably about six or seven years old when we rescued her, but she had been held captive by a madam for a long time. The madam refused to give up the animal because everyone loved Pony and she was a big part of their income. They also thought Pony was lucky, as she would pick winning lottery numbers.

Did the clients realize that they were in fact getting an orangutan?

Oh yeah, they would come in especially for it. You could choose a human if you preferred, but it was a novelty for many of the men to have sex with an orangutan. They shaved her every other day, which meant that her skin had all these pimples and was very irritated. The mosquitoes would get to her very badly and the bites would become septic and be very infected, as she would scratch them constantly. They would put rings and necklaces on her. She was absolutely hideous to look at.
