We subscribe to an email publication called News of the Weird that specializes in incredible-but-true stories. It arrives every two to four weeks. Look what the lead story in News of the Weird is in this morning's issue: * According to a January report in the San Francisco Chronicle, the percentage of gay men who have risky sex without condoms ("barebackers") is growing, and a tiny minority of those men have taken their passion a step further: There are now gay "Russian roulette" parties publicized on the Internet (the latest scheduled for February in Houston) in which HIV-negative men ("bug chasers") invite HIV-positive men ("givers of the gift") for anonymous sex so that every act carries the possibility of death. A gay writer told the Chronicle that he has spoken to participants and is certain that the parties are not just another Internet hoax. I wonder how many individuals comprise the "tiny minority" of gay risktakers who play "Russian roulette." I hope it's a very tiny minority.

If you drag a stick along the fence like that the dog will never stop barking. Evidently, I am not very good at "expressing my true feelings". I meant to put the stick up his gazziga piper, NOT merely "rattle the cage"... The only way to deal with these demented zealots is to show them one will not put up with their crap... The usual "turn the deaf ear and blind eye" results in these bastards burning women (as witches), killing natives, (as unofficial slaves), cremating people who don't believe in their "slavation ways", or merely because they believe differently than their snake oil bullshit. History is clearly on my side. I could get into it, but I won't. However I will say this... if they consider life today, such a miserable thing, "the valley of tears" they call it, and they pray to be beside their gods so much... Listen I am not stopping them they should gladly walk into the gates of death and embrace with gusto whatever bullshit its coming to them, but man, I wish they would shut the f*** up with their preaching !!! Can't stay here, besides, this is NOT my usual "territory", and I am certain you won't miss me. Of course, my opinion only. ________ "So long as men desire to live together, no man may initiate the use of physical force against others. When a man attempts to deal with me by force, I answer him--by force. It is only as retaliation that force may be used and only against the man who starts its use. No, I do not share his evil or sink to his concept of morality: I merely grant him his choice, destruction, the only destruction he had the right to choose: his own." ~ Ragnar Danneskjold
