I don't know what would possess you to *want* to get on CIS, but if you can telnet, then you can connect to hermes.merit.edu and type "compuserve" to get a connection. Since the connection between Merit and Compu$uck is fast, they charge you for a 9600 connection, but it works and you can sit down at an IP-connected machine and do it without a modem.

I could, and have done that before. The problem is that the best timer that I have has a resolution of 3 hours, so it would have to be off for 3 hours each day.

If you look in magik issue #1 they made a list of interesting internet systems. BBSes really haven't hit the net that hard, so as far as I know there aren't any other public bbses on the internet with the same angle as this one. You might look around in usenet though, there is a lot of interesting stuff there. Look under the comp.os groups and alt.hackers, and alt.folklore.computers, all of which tend to be interesting (also high traffic). comp.dcom.telecom has good telephony too if you are more into that. htoaster � From cse@yabbs Mon Apr 5 21:21:55 1993 From: cse@yabbs To: htoaster@yabbs Subject: newuser Date: Mon Apr 5 21:21:55 1993 I am replying to you request to leave feedback as a new user.

The most noticable changes are that I made a fiction directory (upload any poetry or short stories that you might have) and make a journals/oneissue directory, for magazines that I only have one issue of. Also, I don't have a date on the TAP-1 issue. Looks recent, because they have a list of WWIVnet boards and a lot of them are 9600 and 19200, but a date would be nice. Finally, if you want anything to go into the gfiles or ftp area upload it to /incoming by anonymous ftp or mail it to htoaster+@cmu.edu. If you ftp it leave a small file saying what it is or send mail to me here (htoaster) or to htoaster+@cmu.edu. I am hoping that next semester I will have more drive space, in which case the gfiles area will be much larger (probably including most of ftp.eff.org, and hopefully a good bit of it indexed). htoaster � From johndeer@yabbs Tue Apr 20 12:19:51 1993 From: johndeer@yabbs To: htoaster@yabbs Subject: re: gfiles area changes Date: Tue Apr 20 12:19:51 1993 so can we FTP files up here for other users?

I would like to offer a service like the above, but don't have the space or time to make sure that everything is legal. You can use the /tmp directory on ftp.eff.org for what you want though. If the internet wasn't in its current state (tones of warez doods trying to find sites to abuse for the purposes of uploading games) I wouldn't need to worry about this. But it is overly messed up and I do. htoaster � From htoaster@yabbs Wed Apr 21 00:15:21 1993 From: htoaster@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: new os Date: Wed Apr 21 00:15:21 1993 I just upgraded to the a new version of bsd for the 386 called NetBSD 0.8 (it is based on 386bsd).

Date: Tue Apr 27 01:54:38 1993 I get asked by people all the time if I know of anyone selling a cheap modem. Unfortunately, the used modem marked in this area is pretty dry. The best advice I could give your friend is to look in the paper. Every once in a while someone will sell their 64 + equipment and may be willing to part with just a modem...However, they usually want to get rid of everything as a package. New or referbished modem prices are dropping and if your friend has some spare money laying around (heh...yeah) they might want to shell out the $30 for a 1200 or $80 for a 2400. I actually have people calling in with old 300 monsters who would be satisified with a 1200, but no one seems to be selling...I'm afraid all I have left is a couple of 300 bauders which are better than nothing, I guess. I gave away my last 1200 almost a year ago... Different areas may have more modems laying around, but here in the 313 area, things are looking pretty bleak.

The unzip project has made some pretty clean code and you should be able to easily compile it on the machine where you have an account already. Drop me a line if you need help; I made it easily under SunOS 4.1.x, 3.5, Ultrix 4.2, NeXT 2.1 and 3.0, 386BSD and Linux. Can't get much easier than that. Be aware that gunzip will unzip files compressed with zip (up to 1.9x of the PKZip format) but only if they have a *single* item in the archive. In otherwords, GNU zip is a good replacement for Unix compress, but not a good replacement for a real zip utility for manipulating DOS archives.� From rip torn@yabbs Wed Apr 28 23:34:34 1993 From: rip torn@yabbs To: aleph1@yabbs Subject: re: beer/life Date: Wed Apr 28 23:34:34 1993 Venezuela....yeehaaa...Maragrita Island senior!!!!

Video signals (such as TV) run at a much higher frequency then sound signals do. For instance, a sound signal would be on the order of 44.1kHz (that is CD quality, and is the high end for most cards like sound blasters). Video on the other hand is more like 11 mHz for NTSC quality display, which is way over the top of the range for those sound outputs. htoaster From Flare@yabbs Sat Oct 23 16:56:56 1993 From: Flare@yabbs To: wonko@yabbs Subject: re: assembly 94 Date: Sat Oct 23 16:56:56 1993 KLF?

On a 486/VLB everybody can do a little gus player and a simple scroller in (even) viusal c++ , but then what`s the pooint in that.

(not bad, huh?) If the dot pitch is .28cm (I believe standard on IBMs), the moniter would have to be .7meters by .5meters. Ea.

For instance, there is probably a z-buffer, which would be 16-bits, and holds information for computing a z axis in for doing hidden surface removal. there is also probably an alpha channel, which would be used for saying how transparent an object is with respect to other things. that is another 8-bits. Plus you get double buffering, so animation is better. All that uses up the memory in a hurry (48 bits per pixel per buffer, or 96 bits per pixel total). Also, for the most part larger monitors can't achieve a .28 dot pitch. Most 20" monitors are .31, and larger monitors (like 35 inches) are even worse. htoaster From jasonlee@yabbs Thu Oct 28 20:21:10 1993 From: jasonlee@yabbs To: htoaster@yabbs Subject: re: SGI REality Engine^2 Date: Thu Oct 28 20:21:10 1993 Well, the article doesn't say what resolution it can drive (I would guess something like 1600x1200 with too many colors, plus transparency, etc.), but it does say that it can do a "5x5 convolution of a 1024x1024 pixel image" in less than 66ms. The engine has 320 Image Engines that operate in parallel to render everything. Each one controls 512Kb of the image (I guess it can go up to a meg per engine). Anyway, it seems kinda neat.

It's got a little login thing, you can set up all kinds of mailboxes and stuff. You can also set up an address book with everyone's names and stuff. It's got its own format for sending files, called metamail (which elm doesn't handle). I wish I could tell you more, but I don't use it very often, just cuz I don't feel like getting used to a new reader.

Otherwise, sorry about killing all of the accounts, but I made some changes that required it (user names are now case insensitive, so htoaster and HTOASTER would refer to the same account, which should fix some problems people had). Finally, more changes to yalk. You can now join multiple channels at the same time (as many as you want). Play around with /j (join) /l (leave) and stuff like that.

I'd much rather have a socialized system like yours. But this all-too-greedy nation will never wise up and guarantee health care to all its citizens. The doctors, pharmeceutical companies, and the insurance companies have a profitable racket here that they refuse to give up, so the people suffer. Ah ... the glories of the free market, huh? Modern capitalism at its pest, huh? Not a chance. All we've got is another case of the rich screwing the poor. No surprize that it's the poorest 25% of the people in America that don't have insurance. The rich do, and (no surprize) they're the ones getting fat off the current system. I wish that I could explain why America is the only nation in the industrialized world that doesn't guarantee free access to health care to all its citizens. I wish I could.

Yes, it is true that the "health care industry" (doctors, hospitals, pharmaceautical companies) do have high bills. This comes not, as you put it from "the market system at its pest" but from the common fact of high insurance costs. These come from the number and incredible sums awarded from malpractice suits (trust me, I'm Pre-Law, not Pre-Med, and what I'm saying is damning my own profession). As for your 25%, this number is fallacious. 23.75% (or so) of those are TEMPORARILY without health care coverage. This can occur for several reasons, change of jobs, insurance companies, moving, etc. which leaves approx 2% of Americans without Health care. it is to these 2% that the government must focus it resources. This can be done through a thorough reorganization of current social programs.

Now let me see, we, the US is $4.5 trillion dollars in debt, and you want to say that other countries are almost bankrupt? I bet that the combined debt of the countries that you mention (Sweeden, England) is less than the debt that we've got. You argue that malpractice litigation is driving up the cost of health care here. I agree, but have you looked at malpractice litigation statistics for countries with socialized medicine? It hardly exists, because lawyers have a very hard time sueing goverment employees (which doctors in a socialized system are). So I agree with you, if we had socialized medicine here we could effectively contain the costs of medical malpractice by making it extremely hard for lawyers to bring suits against doctors because they would be, in effect, government employees. You defend my argument quite nicely, thank you. -laelth From minutemn@yabbs Thu Feb 10 03:43:07 1994 From: minutemn@yabbs To: laelth@yabbs Subject: re: Socialized Medicine Date: Thu Feb 10 03:43:07 1994 you mention the U.S. $4.5 trillion debt, yet you propose to add unto that a system of health care whose costs are so high the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT WANT TO PUT THAT ITEM ON ITS BUDGET FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR. You also mention that in other countries other physicians etc, are government employees and so cannot be sued. That is wrong, they can be sued. What will occur is INDIVIDUALS WILL SUE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. What do you think that will do for the economy (and the defecit)? Also look at our current system of Social Security (there is no money in it!), medicare (the elderly have been abandoned) and the postal system (if you remember it, it has been a long time since most people have sent each other regular letters, instead of e-mail. Most people will say that the comparison of providing government health service and postal service may be a thin comparison. I do not. however, if you do than I will give you a better example. Visit a VA hospital and look at the care given to them. THEN I DARE YOU TO COME BACK AND TELL ME THIS IS THE SYSTEM YOU WANT FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

What kind of system is that ? My wife and I have spent many hours discussing this and she seems to think that our system i9s better than what Great Britain has. Canada has the same problems. Entire wings are closed because there is not enough money in the system to keep them going. As for people not being able to get health care, look at a public hospital.

Must mean that I made a good point when I said that you were defending my position. And you were. It's a fact, the actual costs of providing health care would GO DOWN in a socialized system because it would be tougher to sue doctors for malpractice (not impossible, just very hard). Only the most blatant of all malpractice cases would even go to court, so more of our national health-care dollar would go directly to health care instead of the legal industry. Of course, taxes would have to go up to pay for it, but the cost of private insurance would evaporate. The question is this: would you rather support the insurance companies, and the lawyers, or would you prefer your money to be spent almost exclusively on health care? Call me crazy, but I'd prefer that my money be spent on health care, rather than on supporting fat lawyers and insurance adjusters. Now, about your statistics. Who are you kidding? Only 2% of Americans are REALLY without health-care insurance? This kind of statement is very popular these days. In fact, the Republican National Committee has all Republicans right now running around saying, "There is no health-care crisis." Are you one of these? You sound like George Bush in 1992 saying, "There is no recession." Basically, you just don't get it. No doubt, YOU have health-coverage. Why should you care if a quarter of the people in America don't?

I can't believe you could fall for some of the blatant lies being put out by the democratic national committee. You mention, that by having a governmental system, all the money would go towards health care. There really could be nothing further from the truth. Look at any government agency and you will find expenditures going towards various overheads, projects, etc. that a private company would go out of business if they tried to operate in the same fashion. Why? Because the system would be POLITICIZED! It would be the same system which gave us the $500 dollar toilet seat procuring pacemakers and CATSCANS. By saying that instead of having your money go to pharmaceauticals, doctors, etc. which you claim is part of the problem, you want to give this money to Congress??? Honey, you might as well be kissing that money goodbye! BTW have you checked out a VA hospital yet. Before you speak anymore on this subject, please take a first-hand look at hour our government is faring in the health care profession. It's a disgrace. From laelth@yabbs Thu Feb 10 12:19:33 1994 From: laelth@yabbs To: robtelee@yabbs Subject: re: Socialized Medicine Date: Thu Feb 10 12:19:33 1994 To the honourable Mr. Robtelee: No doubt health care in Britain has its problems as well. I'd argue that the Tory government of the past sixteen years must shoulder a great deal of the blame for why the British system is not working so well. The Tories cut taxes (as did we) in the early eighties. This threw them far into debt (as it did us). The government was then forced to start rationing health care services as a result, an unfortunate but unavoidable consequence of the mounting public debt. We here in America have much the same problem, and many believe that health-service rationing is coming here, soon, regardless of what ends up being national health-care policy. Nevertheless, there are far more countries where socialized health care works very well (Canada, Australia). A recent study shows that 97% of all Canadians reported receiving needed health care within 24 hours. Another study asked Canadians if they'd prefer a health-care system like the one in the US, and 95% of Canadians said no, they'd prefer NOT to have a system like ours. So while Britain is the popular example that pro-status-quo people most often use to defend the current health-care nightmare in the US, an objective look at socialized medicine across the globe turns up far more examples of successful socialized systems. But even the worst socialized system, Great Britain's, is better than no system at all for those who do not have health care coverage. No doubt you and Mrs. Robtelee have health insurance, and thus, for you the US system works. For those who don't even the worst bureaucratic nightmare will seem like an improvement. Your obed'nt servant, etc., -laelth From laelth@yabbs Thu Feb 10 13:02:57 1994 From: laelth@yabbs To: minutemn@yabbs Subject: re: Socialized Medicine Date: Thu Feb 10 13:02:57 1994 OK, calm down, before this gets too personal: First off the Democratic Party isn't advocating a Socialized system. What are you talking about? Second, Republicans stick together like a cow pattie. Democrats, unfortunately, don't have good organizational skills, so they're already fighting amongst themselves abut the President's (very modest) reforms. I am in no way echoing the Democratic party. You are, no doubt, a card-carrying Republican, and are saying the exact same thing that every other Republican in America is saying today, "There is no health care crisis." That's the lie. There is a crisis, and the longer that we ignore it the worse it's going to get. Now, about giving money to the government. I admit, that any large system, like the US Government, is bound to be inefficient to a degree. And, there is a great deal of waste in the government, and no doubt, a socialized system would create some bureaucratic lag, if you will. However, there's a ton of lag in the current no-system. The massive insurance industries, the lawyers, the judicial nightmare, is the lag that the status-quo creates, and a socialized system would, without a doubt, strongly constrict this bureaucratic mess. Need I repeat the irrefutable logic? OK, here goes, once again. Malpractice litigation would be reduced to almost nothing becausedoctors would gain a degree of immunity against malpractice lawsuits because they would be, in effect, government employees. Only the most blatant of malpractice cases would ever go to court. This would greatly reduce the cost of health care in the US, because the lawyer's cut of the health-care pie would be greatly reduced. Furthermore, the largest single driver of health-care costs (the insurance industry) would be virtually eliminated. If the government payed for all health care, then there would be no need for the hundreds of thousands of insurance adjusters that the current system supports. If you would, please, deal with this argument in some rational form so that I don't have to repeat it again. About the VA hospital, no, I've never been to one, but I can tell you that my sister gave birth to two babies in VA hospitals (for free). She chose the free (socialized) care, if you will, over the way-too-expensive private care for which she was not insured. You see, for the poor people, for those who don't have good insurance, and can't afford prime medical treatment, any socialized system (regardless of how poor) is better than no access at all. -laelth From dan-bob@yabbs Thu Feb 10 13:25:18 1994 From: dan-bob@yabbs To: laelth@yabbs Subject: re: Socialized Medicine Date: Thu Feb 10 13:25:18 1994 can i just say, sas a little englander , that the health sevice is so shite at the mo because the torys wnt to privitize the N.H.S. , so they are running it down, and taking it apart. simple as that really dan-bob (the cynical british person) ps: ok so its not that simple, but i'm tired From htoaster@yabbs Thu Feb 10 14:50:46 1994 From: htoaster@yabbs To: jennibar@yabbs Subject: re: all Date: Thu Feb 10 14:50:46 1994 In message all, jennibar said: > hello, i am new here..i am so lost with this system!!help!! > Ok.

The problems with the Canada were quoted in an article in Reader's Digest. (please forgive me but i cannot remember the date of the article.) Another recent article, from either January or February, in Reader's Digest shows how long people have to wait in order to have certain surguries performed. Corobary bypass waiting was about eight weeks ! I have seen the V.A. hospitals and dealt with them first hand. They are really Death Houses. The quality of care in those facilities is worse than any third world nation. I am a veteran myself and have given instructions to my loved ones to never admit me to a V.A. Hospital. I, for one, do not want my health left in the hands of some disinterested politician in Washington. They will "fine-tune" it, and me right out of existence. As always, your comments are welcome.

Could the honourable and noble Robtelee also be Cochise, that fire-breathing neo-nazi that I have vanquished before in many a post? Please, tell me it isn't so! Well, just in case it is, let me respond to what Robtelee or Cochise said in his/her last post. Thank you for attempting to provide some evidence in support of your position. Of course, you didn't really provide the evidence, did you? You just said it existed. Neat trick! I bet some people even believed you! I'd be interested to see how you and your wife would respond to dan-bob's last post on this base. (I noticed that you chose to ignore it. Smart!) Well, what about it, could it be that the National Health Care system in Britain is in a mess because the Tory government is intentionally underfunding it, mis-managing it, attempting to run the system into the ground because they want to privatize it? Could it be true? Lastly, I'd like to pose a question to those of you who are stalwart defenders of the status-quo. Why can't we try a new system? Why can't we try socialized medicine, and if it doesn't work, we can change the law, and go back to the privatized no-system. Why not try it and then decide? Dare you take that bait? -laelth From Le@yabbs Sat Feb 12 12:07:58 1994 From: Le@yabbs To: cochise@yabbs Subject: Reader's Digest Date: Sat Feb 12 12:07:58 1994 I won't touch the socialized medicine issue without having personally researched it. But I will say that the Reader's Digest is not an unbiased source of information. Sure, it's well-researched, but everyone learns the first day of a stats course that stats can be used to support any argument, if you are good enough at it. As a criminologist I cringe when I read their articles concerning the CJS system. It's a conservative magazine, and the articles ahould be taken in that context.

Secondly, I congratulate your sister on the birth of her two children, I hope they are healthy and happy. BTW, babies have also been born in sewers and the back of NYC taxis. Does that mean you want ALL of your health care done their as well? PS A friend of mine who is more knowledgeable about posts and bulletin boards has just informed me that using CAPS means the individual is angry, I didn't realize that (although it does sound kind of silly to me "Boy, I'm soooo angry I'll hit the caps lock). In my previous posts I was usimg it to highlight points that I was trying to make, not out of some sense of anger at any individuals. Sorry. From minutemn@yabbs Sun Feb 13 21:26:58 1994 From: minutemn@yabbs To: laelth@yabbs Subject: re: Socialized Medicine Date: Sun Feb 13 21:26:58 1994 Well, while your proposal to just try the system of socialized medicine and if it doesn't work scrap it seems reasonable, there are quite a few arguments against it. The biggest one, off the top of my head is by implementing such a system, we would be dismantling totally the private system of health care already in place. Then we would have to wait at least a couple of years (probably around ten or so) to see how this system works. Then, if (which I believe is almost a certainty) that system fails, the people will have to wait for the congress to get around to abolishing it. (You can time the quickness of congressional action with a sundial, but you'd be standing outside an awful long time). Once the system is legislated away, we would have to rebuild the private health-care industry from scratch (if you doubt that or the severity of this transition, look at other countries that are changing from a state controlled system to a free-market system, ie Eastern Europe). Also, no government system ever truly dies, it usually finds some hole to hide in and suck taxpayers money. You have also mentioned how much more difficult it would be to sue doctors, etc under a socialized medicine system. This is not true. The US government (through whatever agencies involved) are quite frequently sued by one group or another, and frequently by individuals as well. Find any legal text and count the occurrences, of John Doe vs. US. It does happen, and whatever National Health agency is created would find itself no different. Also, the republicans do not claim that nothing is needed in the health care industry. As a matter of fact several senators have been touring the country promoting their alternative to the Clinton health system. it is pretty good, and if you'd like, I'll E-mail it to you and anyone else who might be interested. Among the senators sponsoring the proposal are Phil Gramm (R-Texas) and Paul Coverdell (R-Georgia). They suggest smaller reforms than the President (whose reforms are by no stretch of the imagination modest). One last comment, if you are still interested, in implementing then deciding, wouldn't it be wiser to start with smaller suggestions (ie the Gramm, Coverdell, et. al. alternative) and if they don't work then the more drastic ()ie. the Clinton/Rockefeller proposals). respectfully, Minuteman[C From fish@yabbs Mon Feb 14 10:53:49 1994 From: fish@yabbs To: 0@yabbs Subject: re: West Point Date: Mon Feb 14 10:53:49 1994 Hang in there!

I'm sorry about the restrictions, but they really are making a big difference in how loaded down yabbs is. When you consider that this machine is just a 486sx/25 (probably less powerful that what many of you use in your public labs) allowing 20 users on isn't that restrictive. To get the client you'll need to know what sort of system you are running on (it has to be a unix based system, but beyond that, who makes it, etc). You'll also have to know how to use ftp. Once you know this ftp to phred.pc.cc.cmu.edu and look in /pub/yabbs/clients at the file called README. get the client corresponding to your system, and run it. If anyone has an internet machine that they are a sysadmin of and would be willing to let other yabbs users access yabbs through their machine I'd be glad to help them set it up. It would be cool to have a machine that people can bounce off of on the west coast and one in europe somewhere, since this would speed up percieved reaction time pretty greatly. alex From minutemn@yabbs Wed Mar 2 06:58:35 1994 From: minutemn@yabbs To: fish@yabbs Subject: re: hello Date: Wed Mar 2 06:58:35 1994 Correction...WAS a C/3C.

How would u know if you like their personality or their looks???? U dont..............It is better to meet in a college.....social event......or even a dance club (depends). and on a blind date how about the money u spend on the girl??? an average date may cost (in my expeirence) around $50. thats at least $20 for two at a semi-decent restaurant. say $15 for two movie tickets (and if she wants soda and popcorn lets add $5......and of course u share!!!!!!). thats $40 already. Now, at the begining of the date, the roses......I believe that a dozen roses on the first dat is TOO MANY!!!!!!! Buy 3 roses (whatever color...if u know her fav color than get that!!!!) and surround those flowers with babybreath wrapped in green paper. that will cost around $10. so the total amount on that blind date.....in which you dont even KNOW HER....u can spend at least $50........IT IS BETTER TO MEET THE PERSON FIRST!!!!

I agree with you. But who has a blind date has to be so elaborate? For one blind date I went to a baseball game, minor league, of course, and the total tab there (tix, drinks, pizza, even) came to 15 bucks. Then we went to the park for a walk (note that this was free of charge), and the only other fee was driving her around, maybe a buck all told. a $16 date.!

Nice music, if any, spacious, temperate, and congenial hospitality. If the restaurant makes her happy, it's that much easier for me to.

I think jujubee said quality, not quantity. AMEN! These are the 90's and I think it's actually more appealing to be frugal. Not cheap, but frugal. Or, having the best time and the most fun with the least expense. It requires a lot more imagination and a lot more care into the evening's plan than your typical dinner/movie/flowers/chocolate date. ...and why does it seem that every gal on this bbs hasn't had a good date in so long? Sheesh, how depressing. Is your nightly use of yabbs a consequence or a cause for this status? ...Destiny, my idea of the perfect date is the one that never ends. Not poetically, but quite literally. For the perfect date implies a perfect match, a perfect relationship, and a perfect life together. (and yes, I am an idealist) ...and what's with all these Army pukes? I haven 't met one I liked yet. :) From Destiny@yabbs Mon Mar 28 22:22:42 1994 From: Destiny@yabbs To: Hrothgar@yabbs Subject: *smile* Date: Mon Mar 28 22:22:42 1994 I like your idea of the perfect date...and I agree, it woul;d be perfect..and if that is a date, then I guess I have had the perfect date *smile*...even though I never actually went anywhere, except in my mind and imagination :) -Dest' From Cat@yabbs Tue Mar 29 08:04:51 1994 From: Cat@yabbs To: Destiny@yabbs Subject: re: *smile* Date: Tue Mar 29 08:04:51 1994 :) Yep.

Date: Wed Mar 30 07:22:32 1994 hmmm *knowing smile*... I wonder too... perhaps the actual moment of meeting might or might not be as overwhelming as the build up toward the meeting. I guess who two ppl might react really depends upon just how much they interacted beforehand, what they discussed, their emotions expressed, their feelings about certain things... (oops, 3rd line, who = how :) it would also depend on the amount of time the two spent knowing and communicating to each other.. before they met in person... also depends on whether they are seriously madly deeply in love, or whether it is something less... so many variables... the ultimate blind date fer sure... but is it really blind? anyone?

Especially considering the number of "relationships" I see forming on these bbs'. People who share interests, like each other's conversation, or whatever clicks between them. Just think of this as another medium through which people can meet. As for me, I had met the girl first, then when she moved (yes, 1000 miles away) we kept up through letters, phone, bbs, etc. But I admit this is much different than your idea of a truly blind date. Then again, if these people have corresponded, they may have traded pictures, and since they have been speaking to one another for an extended period of time, it is not truly blind at all. On a similar train of thought, my friend is big on meeting girls through bbs's, and always seems to meet gorgeous women over the e-waves. Now a question for all the gorgeous women: why is it that you choose this type of meeting people when you have the looks (and personality to boot) to meet tons of people in person? Now there's a mystery for ya... From Destiny@yabbs Wed Mar 30 13:50:34 1994 From: Destiny@yabbs To: Deaska@yabbs Subject: *grin* Date: Wed Mar 30 13:50:34 1994 Hehehe...who would be crazy enough to do such a thing *wink* Well, as for it being a blind date, I don't think it is. I think it would be the least blind of any date you would ever go out on in your entire life. When you go out on a first date with a "stranger" you know virtually nothing about them, but when you go out on a "first date" with someone you have no for a long period of time, yet never "met", you already know your compatability, your likes, dislikes, etc. It is merely an extension and addition to the initial experience...being in person that is. And if for some reason, things don't work out...you have to wonder, maybe you weren't compatible in the first place... Gotta run to lab, sorry can't finish my thoughts :) -Dest' P.S.

I date guys from classes, work, etc. But I also have gone out with 3 met over the computer. For anyone who thinks they know someone by the way they type, or the way they talk on the phone, or even by pictur I can tell you you're living a fantasy. That person may be exactly as you imagined, but the truth is that you now have a three dimensional person, a physical interaction, where as before you had a cerebral interaction. If the person seems the same, it is because the cerebral aspects match. As for the rest, you may be pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised. I have heard stories which go both ways. It is no more or less a risk than dating a guy who works in the same office. Away from he office he'll be different, just as away from the keyboard, so will you.

OK OK OK, I only posed that question last week as a kind of a joke (so I have a warped sence of humor) but now I'm getting these nasty visuals of splattered cats plummeting to their deaths every time I check this message base. :) Ick. Really though, experimenting with animals is evil, so don't try any of these ideas at home. :) You might get some pretty pissed off cats and lose a few fingers if your cats are anything like MewMew, who I know would never stand to be buttered and dropped from any conciderable height.

A lot of the bands that I like have songs about a lot of the same things, but because they aren't good looking or trendy or otherwise MTV-friendly, I have a devil of a time finding their stuff or info on them. I think it's ridiculous to have to look for nearly a year for an album that is still in print. And although I detest MTV, I kinda wish my favorites would get on there once in a while so everyone else would see how great they are. But Kurt Cobain ruined that. Now you have to be some sort of tortured soul to get on there...and while being a tortured soul can be fun, not everyone is unhappy. (of course, this is just what I see) And while I agree with what kurt cobain was trying to say with his music, that doesn't mean I have to venerate his death. He was *no* John Lennon. John Lennon was someone everyone lost when he was murdered, only people who liked nirvana lost kurt cobain. (spokesman of our generation? bah!) Anyhow....that's just what *I* think.

And as far as kitten kicking, I've never done it. I've never kicked one in my life. I've thrown a few around from time to time, but no foot-works. I hope you can find some sedative to prevent you from going off on complete strangers in the future. I'm just a nice guy who is here for fun in yabbs, not to be subject to such cruelty. Sorry that I had to say this in front of all of my yabbing friends, but it needed to be said after alomar's note. c-ya round like a balloon. ed From jujubee@yabbs Sat Apr 23 18:05:43 1994 From: jujubee@yabbs To: Hrothgar@yabbs Subject: hrothgar???

Basically, we decided that we were really social misfits--relative to this base at least. You see, what you expect here is a bunch of people talking about hacking, drugs, lewd sex acts, and violence. However, we're pretty normal, so we don't fit in on this message base. Ergo, we are truly social misfits here. i hop ethat clears things up. pixy (SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK. FUCK THE POLICE! SID LIVES!

Only if there's more than 50 ppl or something (I forget the exact number...) pretty much what I was thinking of though when I thought up the idea. So... here's what's been figured out (generally) so far... Because Pittsburgh is pretty much in the middle of everyone (and it's also the birthplace of Yabbs) it's probably the bestt place to have it... There has been a very favorable response to having it on a long weekend sometime in the fall, so that's probably when it will happen... Dmonger's picnic in the park idea sounds good to me, and apparantly to most other ppl, so I'll go about finding a place to have it and get the needed legal BS... Any contributions for food, games, etc... would be appriceated, but I don't think they need to be mandatory. Housing will be figured out once we get a general idea of how many ppl are going to come, so until then we'll have to wait and see.

It is not politically correct in this day and age to do something that mankind has been enjoying for thousands of years; a good, honest piece of meat to sit down to at dinner after a tough day. There are those who want to take this inherent "Meat Right" away from decent folk. They claim that harvesting non-human animals is a barbaric remnant of a neanderthalic past. To them it is considered not just murder, but specieism (the active discrimination of the harvesting of one specie of non-human animal over the harvesting of another specie). So we are essentially bigot carnivores. The heroes of this movement include on Paul McCartney of Beatles and Wings fame. He once said, "I don't understaaaand why we continue to eat meat everyone dtoday works at computers, they don't have to hunt their food." With cold forged logic such as this, how can anyone eat a hamburger? I could go into a two paragraph description of the radical leanings of PETA (the things they don't put onto their membership and donation drive materials), but I will hold back until a more appropriate time. -Patton Eat Free or Die!

I for one am studying to be a chef and i do not refuse to prepare dishes including meats and other animal bi-products. I am a heavy smoker as well so it could not possibly be for the first two reasons i stated ... the reason that i do not eat meat is because i do not like the way it tastes..no i'm not a rabbit-like salad eater ( no offense to those that like salad) i am a vegitarian who happens to eat junk-food non-stop Lately here on yabbs i have noticed a definite shift in the additude of my fellow Yabbsers and frankly i find it quite unsettling....IMHO i agree with HT and think that, as previously stated, we should be a ble to conduct ourselves as adults and treat each other with a little common courtesy.

Indeed. The water it takes to produce an 8 oz. hamburger is enough to provide for a family of four in a third world country for 2 days. (To be fair, beef is the most water intensive foodstuff, but almonds come in second (no, I don't eat almonds either)). That's the main reason I'm a vegitarian. It's a responsible way to live, and it can be much healthier as well (tho it's very possible to eat just as poorly or worse as a vegitarian).

Consider Europe, where a hamburger costs a fair bit, as much as four times the American price. It is more appropriate to look at eating *habits* over a long period of time when looking at the meat/vegan debate; government subsidies here play a large role in the relative inexpensive price of beef.

I guess my opinion is that anyone who looks at the facts long enough will be too disgusted to eat meat (chicken and beef anyway)... One thing that someone said back there was theat meat eating is natural. This really isn't true, we don't have the enzymes to break down meat in our stomachs (which is why you have to cook meat), can't fight off the bacteria that lives in meat (another reasons to cook it), and don't really have the teeth for it (two cannines and a bunch of molars). As far as I know the only meat that our clostest relatives (the primates) eat are dead bugs and maybe small rodents. They mostly subside on vegetable matter. alex From IcedTea@yabbs Thu Jul 14 15:30:47 1994 From: IcedTea@yabbs To: Xela@yabbs Subject: re: meat Date: Thu Jul 14 15:30:47 1994 Yeah, Denis is a riot, but I gotta admit he isn't the most politically correct guy in the world, either...of course I've never been so PC myself... As far as the meat's concerned, the actual TYPE of meat is important too...for instance, some vegitarians eat fish, but they don't consider that meat. While fish is healthier, and easier to produce, it's still a living thing..(though nobody wants to save the "cute, cuddily fishies" anyway) Oh well.

Relax, I'm not going soft. It's just that too many people today think that all meat, from Pork to beef, comes from the store pre-wrapped and ready to go. If they actually got in there and got bloody, they'd be better off. Besides, today's methods of raising cattle makes them weaker. Less desireable to eat, in my opinion...that's why I eat less beef and more chicken and pork...less degradation. I didn't say NONE, just less.

This is the United States of America and in our system of justice (I admit it may be flawed but it is the best system in theworld by far) an individual is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and not in the media circus. My point is that no matter what the result of O.J.

Yeah, I know eating dairy products doesn't make a whole lot of sense from many views of vegetarianism (including some of mine, which seem to change all the time). i never pretended to make sense though :)... anyway, there are a few reasons why i still eat animal products, but not animals. the first reason is health. it is very healthy to eat a vegetarian diet, but eating a completely vegan diet that is healthy is a lot more work. You have to worry about getting vitamins that only come from animal sources (like many of the B vitamins)... another is that i am lazy. there are a lot of foods that i really love that are dairy based, such as ice cream. there are vegan replacements for ice cream, but they are very expensive on a student budget. its also a lot of work to make sure that everything in your body has no history of ever being in a previous animals body. i personally see no good reasons why i shouldn't be a vegetarian (i don't like meat, and besides liking meat there is no good reason to eat it). my vegetarianism is a compromise, i'd never try and lead people to believe other- wise. i would like to see myself move to a vegan diet, but that is a harder move than i want to make at this point in my life... alex From hashish@yabbs Mon Jul 18 22:02:29 1994 From: hashish@yabbs To: htoaster@yabbs Subject: re: meat Date: Mon Jul 18 22:02:29 1994 well said From Dee@yabbs Mon Jul 18 23:25:40 1994 From: Dee@yabbs To: htoaster@yabbs Subject: re: meat Date: Mon Jul 18 23:25:40 1994 I think you have aright to like or dislike meat just like I have the right to like or dislike veggies....not saying that I do or do not like veggies,,,,,I also happen to think we all should stop beating a dead horse and get on with new topics of conversation (any suggestions?). *smile* Dee From Xela@yabbs Tue Jul 19 00:46:48 1994 From: Xela@yabbs To: htoaster@yabbs Subject: re: meat Date: Tue Jul 19 00:46:48 1994 Ok, but it still doesn't excuse the narrow-minded, double-dealing hypocrisy of many vegetarians, who DO go out of their way to look down upon meat-eaters.

Date: Tue Jul 19 09:23:04 1994 First off, I want to announce that, due to an injury I suffered as I left campus yesterday, I will no longer be calling myself Badger01, but will instead be going by the colorful Sobriquet Scar-eye. They tell me I will have a nasty one, and that my sight may not return. Cest' la vie: I still have my left eye, the rest of my face is okay, and I'm not dead, so I can deal with it. (In the past it would have fucking killed me.) Anyway, on to a new topic. In my continuing efforts to make myself the most hated person on YABBS (From the man who brought up the Meat Controversy) I want to ask you guys: What's your take on Abortion Rights? I've got a little story to explain why I'm curious. When I was seventeen, the girl I was going out with at the time, Karen (Not her real name) and I were sexually active. After we had been together for a while, she told me that she had become pregnant, despite our precautions (And I did use contraception, not just leaving it up to her) and two days before she told me, she had terminated the pregnancy. We continued to see each other for another year and a half, only breaking up after my mother's death. But it haunts me. I have always believed , and still believe, that a woman does, and should, bear the choice in this matter. But at the same time I also beilieve that she aborted what was my child. (Fitzgerald always saoid that the test of a first rate mind is it's ability to hold two diametrically opposed opinions) I am for choice and for allowing women to get access to better and safer medical options...but I also wonder if our daughter or son would have looked like me. I wish she had discussed it with me. I know that we both are better off now due to her decidion (I'm in college, she's working at a bank and attending night classes at RI College herself) and that if we had tried to do otherwise, we'd probably end up hating each other. I don't even know what I would have done. But I wonder. What do you all think? Is this even an issue a man should be raising? (Let's face it...men don't get pregnant. It's easier for them to be cavalier about this.) Scar-eye Rossi From sienna@yabbs Tue Jul 19 13:03:50 1994 From: sienna@yabbs To: Scar-eye@yabbs Subject: re: A problem I'm having... Date: Tue Jul 19 13:03:50 1994 Sorry to hear about your accident....*hug* About abortion....I also have the problem of seeing both sides and being able to argue effectively for both....however, I do strongly believe that abortion is murder....that child did not ask to be conceived...and there are so many people waiting to adopt that they are put on waiting lists for years....it always did bug me how a woman could easily go and have an abortion but then claim she could never carry to term and then give the baby up for adoption....I have three words for that kind of person...WHAT-EV-ER...seems to me that it would be easier to give the child up for adoption to a family who would love it and raise it as their own rather than _killing_ it..... I realise that sometimes abortion is necessary in cases where the child is going to be born horribly disfigured and will live in misery during its existence...but don't get started on the "what if a woman were raped" scenario....(At the risk of getting way too personal...*sigh*.....the lengths we go to to share a view...) I was raped, and even though the thought of caring that monster's child repulsed me, if I had conceived, I would not have had an abortion. ANYWAY....I think that this issue is something that every woman must make her own mind up about. If she can lie with the fact that she terminated a L-I-F-E....well, then, so be it...I also want to say that I do not think the government has any say in this matter...it is a personal matter, not a matter of State. Well, I sure went on a lot more than I meant to...sorry...geez I can be long winded. *grin* Well, I guess we will see where *THIS* debate gets us! *hugs* Dee From Pele@yabbs Tue Jul 19 13:06:55 1994 From: Pele@yabbs To: scar@yabbs Subject: re:abortion Date: Tue Jul 19 13:06:55 1994 Hey Scar, I generally make it a point not to get involved in politcal/religious debates and let's face it abortion is as politcal and religious as you get. I do have however an opinion and since you asked I'd like to tender it. Personally, I have reservations about the right of anyone to take another life (actual or potential, a life is a life). I, however have never been pregnant and I will never pretend to know what it is like for a woman who is pregnant. As a result I have always said that this is one law that we should leave out of the laws of man and to the laws of God. There is one other law that I thought that abortion should be left up to. That is the laws that you govern your own life by. By that I mean if a woman can live with the decision to abort a child (her reasons are her own) then it is not up to me to condemn or praise her for her decision. It doesn't change the way that I look at her not does it make me think any less of her. I leave her up to her own consience (Sp?) and her belief system, if she has one. There is one thing, however that makes your situation unique (at least to me). You had no say in the matter. You weren't given an oportunity to talk about it. It takes two to make a baby (unless you're talking artificial ensemination in which case if she had an abortion I think she has deep problems!) so it should be two involved in the decision to take that baby's life. I would think that if I got a woman pregnant and she had an abortion BEFORE she told me she was pregnant that I wouldn't be able to stay with her another minute. She terminated a life that I helped create without even consulting me! I would be enraged! I know that there are sexist women (excuse me, feminists) out there who will say that it is not a man's place to tell a woman what to do with her body and that he can't possibly understand what it is like to have a baby inside you and therefore he has no right to make a personal comment on the matter! I disagree. Women have no idea what it is like to be an expectant father. I never was one but I can identify with a lot of my friends who have been. It is a team that makes a child and therefore if the death of that child is determined to be a course of action, then it should be the team that makes that choice. I know that there are situations in which it would be unfair to the child to bring it into the world but I have always believed that everyone has a right to life. Now. I don't push this idea on others I simply have it. If my girlfriend gets pregnant I have every intention of coersing her to not have an abortion and I don't want anyone telling me that I'm wrong. I may be wrong for you but it is right for me. I don't tell you what to do so don't tell me. God! I didn't realize how long-winded I could be! Well that's all I have to say. I welcome any comment as long as it doesn't get personal!

I know what it's like to be without sight in one eye. As for the subject of abortion, here's my conribution: I've been raised to believe that Life is sacred and that it should be protected at all costs. During the last year and a half, however, things have happened to change that belief. Now, I'm not sure exactly what I believe. AS for abortion, however, I do have a definite opinion: It should always be up to the woman (or girl) who is pregnant, although she should at least listen to the advice of the people around her. This opinion is the direct result of a personal experience with abortion. While I am a male, and will never be forced to make the decision myself, I have, unfortunately, had to help one of my best friends make the decision. To shorten the story (I HAD typed the whole thing, but before I was finished, the server kicked me for inactivity) Last April, one of my best friends was raped. Her parents are devout Roman Catholics, and as such wouldn't even THINK about abortion if she had gotten pregnant. She herself, however, couldn't bear to carry the child of the scumbag who had raped her. I completely agreed with her feeling, after having stayed up the whole night talking to her. I will never pretend to know what it's like to be invaded like that, but after that night of holding her, sobbing in my arms telling me what had happened, I did feel much of the same pain and her. I completely agreed with her feeling, after having stayed up the whole night talking to her. I will never pretend to know what it's like to be invaded like that, but after that night of holding her, sobbing in my arms telling me what had happened, I did feel much of the same pain and anger that she did, although most of it was actually her own. She didn't even want to tell her parents what had happened, lest they despise HER because of it. Eventually, she agreed that it was better if she did, and they reacted as parents would, not as she thought they would. They took her to the doctor, to make sure that she was physically all right. Luckily, aside from some bad bruises, she was. It was there that the quesiton came up: What if she was pregnant? At this point, the question was only a supposition. Sadly, it was a question that had to be answered. Personally, while I still felt that life is sacred, I also knew, to a degree, how she felt. Therefore, my opinion was that she should have an abortion. She herself could not bear to live if she had to bear the child. Thus, I knew that there can never be ONE answer to hte question. It has to be answered by each female who faces it, in their own way. Eventually,her parents saw the emotional pain she was in and gave their consent for her to have an abortion (parental consent is necesarry for minors in Pennsylvania). I know now that it was the right choice. While she still feels guilty about ending the child's life before it even began, she is far more deeply scarred by the rape itself, and I doubt if she could have endured the emotional pain of seeing the child born, an ever-present reminder of what had happened. Sorry if I rambled on a bit too much, but I didn't realize how much I had to say. --Les A note to ht: You have to fix yabbs so that it doesn't kick ppl who are writing long messages without a client for inactivity... It happened twice while I was trying to post this, until I saved my buffer to a file and endured the horrible lag entailed by using a client to actually post it...

Thats me...living with the memory of a ghost of a child. What could have been in your mind destroys more than what would have been. I believe that the decision of having an abortion should be left up to the women that are pregnant...not any one else. The women that choose to have an abortion must live with their decisions. Not you or any one else have to live with that decision, just the ones that make the decisions. I feel that abortion is a private and personal issue. Women must have the rights to make that paersonal decision. Since, we are the ones living with the ghost of a child.....and not anyone else.

It has been good, in that it has moved things along, and therefore a whole lot more has been discussed as well, but you are also limiting the input of more people, because they haven't had the chance to have their opinion heard, and everyone deserves that chance.

I've quite enjoyed > listening to a lot of the talk going on here. It makes you think more, > and helps you to reevaluate your own opinions. You can't just ignore > some of these issues. I disagree totally. Many of the topics that have been discussed on here have been discussed to death. It is very easy for rational argument to disintegrate into name calling and hate mongering on a bbs like this, and many times it does just that. Also, it is very, very hard to actually present truly new ideas or to sway others to your opinion based entirely on an online discussion. The other problem is that there are many thousand users on yabbs. Many of them have connected once, looked around and left, but there are still several hundred regular users. If every single person who had an opinion on anything expressed it, we would all be spending 24 hours a day on yabbs just trying to keep up. After you reach a certain number of peoples opinions on a topic, many of the following won't ever present any new ideas. So perhaps it is time to move on. If there are issues being discussed on yabbs that you think need further exploration, find others who agree with you and continue to discuss it in the email base, normal internet email, or whatever else suits your fancy. I think most people while they might have a passing interest in vegitarianism or abortion or anything else, don't want to spend weeks talking about it. And if they do, then they probably need to find a place to do so with other like-minded individuals. > I like listening to other people. So do I, and I think so do we all. It is interesting to hear the opinions of other people, some who might be similar to us, and others who might be of wildly differing background and opinion. Those people who I find especially interesting or entertaining or stimulating to talk to, I follow up on with private conversations. > I don't like people trying to shut others up. This is aimed at all the > people who kept going on and on about changing the topics all the time. > It has been good, in that it has moved things along, and therefore a > whole lot more has been discussed as well, but you are also limiting > the input of more people, because they haven't had the chance to have > their opinion heard, and everyone deserves that chance. Everyone does deserve a chance to be heard, but the fact of the matter is that there are just too many people. No one is censoring anyone. I doubt one could find as many listeners and people willing to speak if one started discussing these things on a street corner or another public place. > Hope I've made SOME sense :) Yes, quite a bit actually. -k From Patton@yabbs Thu Jul 21 08:21:50 1994 From: Patton@yabbs To: Zbadba@yabbs Subject: Political base Date: Thu Jul 21 08:21:50 1994 Very good solution. I support it wholeheartedly. -Patton Live Free or Die From ducky@yabbs Thu Jul 21 08:34:04 1994 From: ducky@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: and also. . . Date: Thu Jul 21 08:34:04 1994 Here are a few more things I thought of during and after composing my last post that I think need to be said. . . -- Topi is right when she said that there are many important issues worth discussing and not "sweeping under the carpet". However, if yabbs is your primary (or only) outlet for discussion on them, perhaps you need to look for some other venues for discussing them. If you are on or near a college or university campus, it should be easy to find people to discuss important topics with. However, even if you're not, try just talking with friends or coworkers. It may not be as easy as discussing something on yabbs, for many reasons, but I think the personal interaction is in the long run both more stimulating and rewarding. -- This bbs continues to exist only because of the cooperation and general acceptance of some unwritten code of conduct among its users. If a group of users, or even just one, are determined enough to behave antisocially, this bbs would not to continue to exist as a place that most of the regular users would want to conenct to. -- Which leads me to this: Certain message bases have been created for the discussion of certain topics. If people aren't willing to try to put their posts in the appropriate base, then what is the point of having multiple named bases? Why not just one big one? Or just bases named '1', '2', '3' and so on? This comment isn't directed at any specific instance, but at a lot of misdirected postings that have been happening recently. -- And finally, as a bit of an old-timer around these parts (I still remember when yabbs was just an idea in Alex's head, and slightly later when it was a single user bbs on his 386 under DOS), let me just point out some of what a couple of bases are intended to be for. They may have mutated slightly from the original intention, but that is quite alright. This base 'Social Misfits' is just a general chatter and social board. It is to some extent a catch-all when no better forum exists, but if there is something being discussed regularly here, it will probably get its own base if someone asks Alex really nicely. Base 'X', 'Anarchy in the US' is intended to be for the discussion of all forms of politics, not just anarchy. (Like many, many things in yabbs, the base name was a bit of a joke.) This could easily be expanded to include discussion of various political issues (like the abortion debate) not just politics and government itself. blah, enough babble. . . -k From jujubee@yabbs Thu Jul 21 08:38:17 1994 From: jujubee@yabbs To: topi@yabbs Subject: re: old topics..

Badger is what my mother always called me as a kid, because I'm built like one and have the same protective attitude towards my extended family. EX: One of my mother's sisters, my Aunt although my family doesn't use that title, allowed her son, a year older than me at the time (I was 16) to call my mother "A fat, divorced bitch nobody loves" at Christmas eve, and only told him that he was wrong, didn't yell at him or punish him. So, at New Years (And I don't say this is right to do) I deliberately, while playing football with the family, broke his ribs. Scar-Eye is a new one, self-explanitory. Aquinas is what my High School english teacher called me, becaus eI argued with him about Thomas Aquinas' role in the Chruch (We were both nominal Catholics at the time) and it caught on at school. Everybody I went to HS with still calls me that, nobody else does. Bearclaw is after a bear's claw that we found on my property on Prudence Island in RI. I wear it on a necklace sometimes. Wolfen is due to a tatoo I have. That's all of the ones I know about, anyway.

The other thing is...and I don't usually admit this...is Pele is the name of the Hawaiian goddess of fire (or volcanoes,not sure really). It's not that I think I'm a godess (I'm a guy!) It's just that I think the pictures of her (artist's pictures) are really cool...so...well...there you go. One more thing.

(ok, so maybe just for a few mins while I was sitting on the dunny) ... and what I came up with is this : - Variety IS good, topics do tend to get a little stale and can result in distasteful name calling and such. - Hearing other peoples opinions is good. Many may be the same and therefore get a little boring/repetitive, but it's often worth wading through what you don't like so that you can discover that rare gem of inspiration that someone may post. - Telling people to move on to a new topic is RUDE ! It's almost like saying "I don't want to hear what anyone else has to say" or "The last few posts on this topic were really boring and lame" (How do you think that makes the person who posted it feel). If you are fed up with a topic, then just press that [N] key (look at your keyboard, it can be found just above the [ ] (that's the space bar :) and between the [B] and the [M]). If you don't want to read it, then don't. Simple. You may still have to briefly view it while you flick through to the next post, but surely that's not such a drama. Now instead of saying "Hey all, this topic is dead, lets move on to a new one", why don't YOU just come up with a new topic. ,,, (o o) +----oOO--(_)--OOo----+ +--------------------------+ | \ \ | | Barry Noble / / Melbourne, Australia. | | (Steyr) \ \ Steyr@GPO.swin.edu.au | | / / | +---------------------+ +--------------------------+ From Xela@yabbs Fri Jul 22 01:01:23 1994 From: Xela@yabbs To: Dee@yabbs Subject: re: meat Date: Fri Jul 22 01:01:23 1994 "I think we all need to learn a little tolerence..."

Date: Mon Jul 25 06:25:10 1994 I agree that it is no big deal, but when I first read Deaska's comment, although I was not OFFENDED by it, I did get the feeling (perhaps more subconscious) that it certainly was not polite. Looking back at it I don't really see too much wrong with it, but I think the general tone and feeling that could be interpreted from the post is not a nice one. "ah geez, steyr, topi" and "who cares" (the who cares seemed to be in reference to topi's post, sorta like "who cares what you have to say") CAN give the impression that you are hanging it all over Steyr (note the CAPITAL S, grrr) and topi. But to finish up, Rich : you, myself and Catherine all know each other IRL, so I don't think we need to bicker over this. I know I'm bickering over it, but that's just coz I like to have the last word *grin*.

The name i took should tell you what i do for a living, well if the people of this Great nation want protection then they should pay the police what it is worth. I just lost two very good friends to a drug bust gone bad. Why no body armor provided to the officers . If the goverment can fly congress people around in Helicopters to play golf then they can supplement the pay of Police so we can get proper equipment. One f my buddies was getting married, now he has a widow before the marriage. It turns my stomach when the public at large votes down pay increases to police and law enforcement personnel. Oh by the way there is an agency about 15 miles from where i live that 75% of the staff is on welfare because they can not make enough as a officer to feed there families.

And for your suggestion about going to the local snakes about proper equipment for protection and higher pay so that these men and women can support their families (interesting how the govt wont give them pay raises, but instead cut their salaries which force many to turn to welfare putting a greater strain on the system...and guess who pays for it...? We do, every one of us, in higher taxes and in less-than-adequate police enforcement.)...as I was saying, I intend to speak up about this as soon as I get back into town....right now I am in Virginia Beach where police enforcement would be much appreciated...

Look at the system the guy i arrest for selling drugs to minors is out of jail before my paperwork is printed from my office. I have less rights as the criminals do. Ask robtelee about what it is like to work for next to nothing he will support what i am saying. We as police just want a fair shake in this matter, pay us what u think your safety is worth!!!

It's almsot like they set you guys up for it. I mean, no one seems to sit down and find out what cops need in order to do their jobs safely and effectively WITHOUT either getting killed or being driven to unneccesary extremes. Instead they just stick you out there and let things happen. Do you see what I'm saying? I'm not sure how to put it, but...It's almost like the apathy of the citizenry and the actual malevolence of the powers that be are placing you on the chopping block.

The real issue is that the "justice" system rapes the innocent and coddles the guilty. Happens again and again. If you're actually innocent, you're screwed. You have to hire a real defender, go thru all the lengthy pre-trial hearings, blah blah blah. If you're guilty, just plea bargain away 'till you've got 3 months probation instead of 2-5 years in jail. Sucks, but that's how it goes in this country. I also only have limited respect for law enforcement in general, but that is more a product of my environment, I think. (I live in a town where gay bashing is popular among both hoods and cops). There are some cops I really respect a great deal, but I haven't met many.\ From robtelee@yabbs Wed Aug 3 00:41:55 1994 From: robtelee@yabbs To: Nforcer@yabbs Subject: re: Police Date: Wed Aug 3 00:41:55 1994 Sorry to hear what happened...And I happen to agree with ya...

So why is it that the Police and teachers earn less than garbagemen (ooops, un PC, lets say sanitation engineers)? Does society deem waste disposal more worthy than societal protection or the instruction of its children.

This is over four separate incidences in which all they could do well was cover their asses and stand around giving me the "nothing we can do" shit routine. When I see a cop actually play a beneficial role in the justice system, I'll feel good about having my wages taken from me to pay his salary. But as of yet they are a waste of good, hard-earned money. X From Pele@yabbs Sat Aug 6 02:40:05 1994 From: Pele@yabbs To: Nforcer@yabbs Subject: re: Police Date: Sat Aug 6 02:40:05 1994 I know this is a little late. I generally don't come to this base. I'm really sorry to hear about your friend and I really sincerely hope that something like that will never happen again. However. I have to let you know why I can't bring myself to go out of my way to help the police. I am an African American. One night about a year and a half ago (almost two years) a friend of mine (who is white) and I were driving down Biscayne Blvd. in Miami, Fl. We got pulled over (for reasons I'm still trying to ascertain) and the cop started to harass us, particularly me. He pulled me out of the car and asked me for I.D. and searched me for any drugs. Finally he turned to my friend and said to her "how the fuck can you have this nigger in your car?" I snapped and grabbed his nightstick and beat the fuck out of him. I turned myself in and before I got a chance to see a lawyer or anything (and I haven't told anyone this until now) his two friend pulled me into a little room and beat the snot out of me (making sure to hit me in places where it won't easily be seen). After that, they sent me home without pressing charges. I couldn't walk straight for a week. Do you know why I didn't do anything about it? Because the entire force was made up of the same kinda shit that did what they did to me! I had no chance. So, that's my story. I am sypmathetic to your friends and your situation but I can't see myself telling my congressman to give these assholes more nightsticks to kick my ass because I'm black. sorry -Pele- From Pele@yabbs Sat Aug 6 02:50:28 1994 From: Pele@yabbs To: bart@yabbs Subject: re: Police Date: Sat Aug 6 02:50:28 1994 YO! B! sup? I know the feeling, man. I do. People have no idea what it is like to have anomosity towards the police until they've been fucked over and sing a different tune. I don't doubt there are good cops out there. I'm sure there are. I just haven't met 'em! Everyone of the one's that I met since my incident have been real assholes. Until I meet a cop who is responsible and worthwhile (like the one's on Commish) then I'm going to have my opinions. -Pele- It's cool, G. I'm down with ya! From Steyr@yabbs Sat Aug 6 03:00:33 1994 From: Steyr@yabbs To: Pele@yabbs Subject: re: Police Date: Sat Aug 6 03:00:33 1994 So ... let me get this right ... The police started harrassing you pretty badly, so you beat the crap out of him. Then you did the right thing and turned yourself in. And this time YOU got the crap beaten out of you. Then they let you go. Seems to me the only person who is majorly in the wrong here is the police officer who started it all. But from a technical view, EVERYONE is in the wrong. He only verbally assaulted you from what you describe, then you take his weapon and hammer him. You're no angel here either. You had your reasons to hit him. Then, when the police had you, from their perspective they had someone who had beaten up a fellow officer. If you had someone who had beaten the shit out of one of your friends, I'm sure you would not take kindly to him either. So they beat you up and turned you loose. I personally would rather cop a beating than go up on charges. Think yourself lucky. I think the beating you copped was fair enough. Do unto others as ... The main thing wrong here is the police officer who insulted you in the first place. There are bad cops around for sure. You'll get pricks in ANY organization, particularly an organization which gives the individual certain 'powers'. But just because you've had a bad experience with ONE of the police force, doesn't mean ALL police are bad. I think this whole thing is a vicious circle. Much of the public hates the police because the police treat them like shit. Whereas some of the police treat the public like shit because thats what they get from the public. Respect must work both ways. Although I also think that the vast majority of police come out of training with good intentions and attitudes, but develop their bad habits from exposure to all the crap they cop from all you civilian pieces of shit (no, I'm not a police officer). OK, so this particular officer's racist views are an exception. ,,, (o o) +----oOO--(_)--OOo----+ +--------------------------+ | \ \ | | Barry Noble / / Melbourne, Australia. | | (Steyr) \ \ Steyr@GPO.swin.edu.au | | / / | +---------------------+ +--------------------------+ From sienna@yabbs Sat Aug 6 03:18:06 1994 From: sienna@yabbs To: Columbo@yabbs Subject: re: Police Date: Sat Aug 6 03:18:06 1994 Must we begin a flame war?

However, what is one to do in the case that respect does not exist on either side? This is a situation in which both parties have developed an attitude towards their opposites. Perhaps the only way in which to stop this is to keep the attitudes from developing in the first place. In Pele's case, I'd have to agree that the cop who verbally assaulted him was in the wrong. However, Pele, you had no right to beat him... ...it's often a no-win situation... anyways... just some babble.. ...we live in America... Racial discrimnation is dying out fast... (or is it?)

Cops are Human. Ergo, they have the same rate of Shits to Normals as does the society that produces them. Then, we send them into Life And Death Situations and ask them to TAKE CARE OF IT. After a while, they begin to be affected. The solution is neither more police nor mnore money for police, nor is it Less Police and Less money for them. It is a societial woe, and no amount of military troops on the streets (Sorry, Nforcer, but the linbe between Police and Paramilitary Squads is too blurry as it is) will cure it. What will? Examining ourselves. Examining why Pele is insulted for his race, why I am distrusted for My Appearance (I'm white, but I'm big, I have long hair, and I wear torn jeans and Leather...this is reason enough where I live to CONTINUALLY ROUST ME...I've been picked up o other peoples warrants fifty times...IU won't sing you a song about my manly resistance, because usually I just go along to get along...I've never been prosecuted, noty even when I was recently arrested for actions at Planned Parenthood against demonstrators who grabbed a friend) The truth is, when we put these men and women into lethal situations, we have to expect them to become hardened and cynical...It isn't an excuse for some of their more extreme hate-based behavior, but it helps explain it. And there are plenty of reasonable, decent people who wear the shields...we can't throw them aside and let them die when they are trying to protect us, which is their duty, but is our fault. This is a strange post for an anarchist.....but I don't want to see people like Nforcer in body bags before the perfect Anarchy comes...I just lost a friend this week and I'm so sick of all the death.

My experience with the police happened when I was 14...I had decided to try and impress my friend (who I was meeting later for a campout in her grandfather's backyared) by bringing alcohol....I went to a local drugstore called Super-X and I shoplifted a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20...pretty stupid, eh? Needless to say, I got caught, and the store pressed charges and I was led from the store in handcuffs...pretty traumatic thing for me. When my mom finally came and got me, I was so scared. I said "Mom, thank God you're here!" and she spat back at me "I ought to let you rot in here!" My parents were less than amused that their pristine, never-got-into-trouble-good-student-girl-scout daughter had gotten herself arrested.... Well, anyway, the cop who arrested me was less than sympathetic, but he did his job. Looking back, I have no complaints about his treatment of me. I deserved what I got, and let me tell you, it taught me a lesson I shall not soon forget....the only bad memories I have of the whole situation center around the situation, not the cop who was just doing his job and arresting a teenager for petty theft. Only other meetings with the police have been two speeding tickets....*shrug* C'est la vie! My two cents of a dollar....

I am not a violent person. I hate violence, for the most part. I, however am biracial and am sick and tired of the racist bastards who think that I'm some sort of mistake. You people are not black. Being called a nigger is just as painful as being beat up. I dealt with a lot of shit from that cop and his actions were the last straw. Point of fact: I have had dealings with police in the past in one way or another in the past and even though I don't like them I do respect them and I have always "gone along to get along." I have been pulled over for being in the wrong neighborhood or being out with other black people at 1am. I graduated high school at the top of my class. I have a 143 IQ and I am studying Nuclear Engineering at Georgia Tech! I am not bragging. I am trying to make a point. I am sick and fucking tired of being assumed to be a fucking drug dealer just because I'm black. If any one of you out there think I was wrong in beating that cop, that's your opinion but I seriously suggest that you don't call me a nigger to my face. You'll get the same treatment. -Pele- who is sick of people who have no idea what he is going through judging him.

I'd have rather had the book thrown at me than had my ass kicked for what I did. Things like this are swept under the rug because if the news gets a hold of it--RACEWAR. I'm sure a lot of you understand my point. A lot of you don't. I'm sorry if that's the case but before you condemn me for being human and take up for the racist pig who verbaly abused me, try and be me for a day. You'll find that you can't and you just simply can't understand. That's all I have to say on this matter. Curse me if you want but that's how I feel.

I have very blond hair. If someone comes up to me and calls me "white-boy" or "gaijin" or "white-trash", I don't take extreme offence other than because he was trying to insult me. I have no complex about being white. I'm not ashamed of it. Are you ashamed of being black ? Is that why you take so much offence at being called a nigger ? I mean shit, it's only a petty insult. And don't on about how it's more than that, how it's a whole different way of being treated, with beatings, and being treated like filth and blah blah blah, and how I, being white, can have no idea what it's like. I won't go into great detail, but I have lived in several different countries thoughout my life, and in one of them (for example) if I walked down the street, people would grab my hair and try to pull it out of my head, simply because it wasn't black like everyone elses. Perhaps I have overstepped the mark here because I admit that I know very little about the plight of black Americans, but it just seems to me that life is what YOU make it. If you want to take offence well that's your problem. Sure, it's not nice to be called a nigger, but it's only really offensive if you LET it be. Maybe it's called growing a thick skin, I don't know. I once read a book which said that when we find things insulting, we are not so much angered by the fact that someone insulted us, but more by the fact that we LET ourself FEEL insulted. Anyway, I hope you don't find this insulting, because that's not what I intended. I try not to let myself get involved in petty little flame wars (re Bart), but sometimes I get a little carried away. ,,, (o o) +----oOO--(_)--OOo----+ +--------------------------+ | \ \ | | Barry Noble / / Melbourne, Australia. | | (Steyr) \ \ Steyr@GPO.swin.edu.au | | / / | +---------------------+ +--------------------------+ From Xela@yabbs Sat Aug 6 23:04:24 1994 From: Xela@yabbs To: topi@yabbs Subject: re: the police Date: Sat Aug 6 23:04:24 1994 "think a bit more ok."

That's bullshit. The only "position" you have is one you make for yourself. If you don't think you are the piece of shit the police officer treated you like (and I don't think you are), then don't be so pissed off by the whole incident. HE was the dickhead, not you (at least initially), so don't take it so personally. This police officer was obviously one fucked up individual. So why lower yourself to his level. Don't let him (or others like him) get to you. Sure, you should feel insulted, because he DID insult you, but verbal insults really are a pretty pathetic way to annoy someone. Why not just let it go, then laugh at the officer for making such a damn fool of himself. And talk about making a fool of himself. You think I am a white American ? Hahahahahaha. Jeez dude ...

Pele: I think you have a valid reason to be hostile -- to some extent, and I can see why in that type of a situation you would let your anger fly. However, you need to read the messages a bit more closely. I did not say in any way, shape, or form that I thought racism was dying out. Regardless of what everyone believes, I think that Natalie made one extremely important point: that people need to quit looking at things from the past, namely ethnicity. Sure, our ancestors tormented the black race. I, living in 1994, am aware of this, but you cannot justify venting your anger on me, an individual who had no control over what was going on is years passed. I have no problem with people sticking to their heritage, but I don't like people bringing up problems that are irreversible. The Indians have as much a claim to racism as you do, Pele.

You insulting people because they're white, and > asking them not to take offence, but you beating the crap out of someone > because they insulted YOUR racial colour. Hmmmm. Let me clear up a misconception of yours. I only insult people I know and they always understand that I'm kidding. My father was white. I couldn't insult a white person without insulting myself. So before you call me hypocrytical. Talk to me or talk to people who know me about me. You know nothing about me so don't judge me, ok?

I am on no high horse! I am sick of people telling me about the individuals bullshit! I treat everyone on here with respect and I don't go around insulting people I don't know. That cop I beat up! I treated him as an individual! He was a fucking asshole! I don't give a fuck if you approve or disapprove but no one on here can say that I am mean to them because I'm not and I know for a fact that half of you people are white! So if I wasn't treating people as individuals then I wouldn't talk to anyone on this damn thing. You know what? I am suddenly feeling very unwelcome here. Fuck it!

From Pele@yabbs Mon Aug 8 01:04:03 1994 From: Pele@yabbs To: Steyr@yabbs Subject: re: Ongoing saga Date: Mon Aug 8 01:04:03 1994 Ok, let me try this again. I sunk to his level. Fine! I also freely admit that if put in the same situation, I'd probably do the same thing. Few people in the country, and in your case, in this world face racism daily. I do. Now. I am not a violent person. Anyone who knows me will tell you that. Ask Zippo. He's my best friend and knows me well. He'll tell that I don't lose my temper often. In fact. I have lost my temper three times in my entire life. In all thre ocassions, I have little recollection of what took place, exactly. All I know is that people got hurt. And let's face it. I lost my temper. I got mad. It's really easy to say that I should control myself and I agree, however these are matters that are easier talked about than acted on. I don't hate anyone, white or black (I just said that, I think) but I do hate that cop. Not just because he called me a nigger. I forgave him for that. But because he made me lose my temper after I had sworn it wouldn't happen again. If that makes me an asshole, then I'm an asshole. -Pele- From Pele@yabbs Mon Aug 8 01:18:50 1994 From: Pele@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: I appologize Date: Mon Aug 8 01:18:50 1994 Having read all the messages today. I have to say that I'm sorry. I'm not sorry for doing what I did, mind you. That gave me a lot of personal satisfaction. I am sorry for making it seem as if I have a problem with the people on this base. You people, in your own way were trying to let me see a different point of view. The problem was that few of you have the background to know what my point of view is. I still like the people here and I hope I have made it abundantly clear that my only real anomisty is towards that cop (and the people who may support his ideas). I do also have a problem with the people out there who think that just becuase I'm black and I have a problem with our society that I'm allowing stuff to happen to me. The simple facts are I work twice as hard as many of my white peers for the same result. I don't complain I just do it. This is America and whether you want to accept it or no, it is land of the free (anglo-saxon male businessmen) home of the brave (anyone stupid enough to not vote!) I've said all I can. If you all think that I'm a bad person for what I have done. Then there is nothing, now that I can do to change that and I don't really care at this point. I want to appologize to: Setyr (sp?) for callingyou an Yankee :), and to Natalie for cursing at you :) I just felt that I was being attacked and I fought back. It's not your fault and I appologize.

I need SOMEONE intelligent to argue with *grin* Anyway, just to give my final comments on the past few days of posts ... in your situation I probably would have done the same thing. Despite what all these "That's no reason to hit him" people say, I see nothing wrong with a blue here and there. Mind you, a cop is probably not the person I'd choose to scrap with. My only real gripe was that your bad experience with this cop had you labelling them ALL as bad. I don't know about America, but over here I think they're generally a pretty decent mob. Especially out in the country, which is where I've had my limited experience with them. But, I guess, even if you still think they're all wankers, that's up to you, so no big deal.

I read this cute commentary on Woman and Contraceptives, and although it is a little crude, it made me laugh. So I thought I would share it.... From "Hormones From Hell" by Jan King Chapter 13 "CONTRACEPTION: I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No" MYTH: The technology of birth control has made quantum leaps into the Space Age. Who are we kidding? It's the end of the 20th century, and birth control practices are still in the Stone Age. And what's worse, many new products on the market still pose major health risks - and, of course, all to women. We need to make the 21st century an epoch where birth control becomes the Sole Responsibility of the Male. C'mon, we women have got a lot more to do than sitting around thinking about spermicides all day. The thought of all those desperate sperm getting killed is just too big a guilt trip for us to handle. After considering the options available to us, intelligent women should use the only 100% safe *oral* birth control: the word "No." And if that's just not possible, here are a few of the prehistoric birth control methods available to us: THE IUD Do you remember reading about the torture racks popular during the Spanish Inquisition? Well, like the kid in "Poltergeist II" says, "They're BAAAAAACK." And you can find them installed in your GYNs' offices. Everyday, women are stretched out on them and "fitted" with their IUD's. Note: the term "fitted" is used loosely here. Constructed of serrated steel and displaying several rows of toothlike structres die cast from Jaws models, they act like acharm to lure unsuspecting sperm to their grisly demise. There is a basic problem, though. To place one in the uterus, the IUD with its one inch diameter must be forced through a 1/2" opening of the cervix. And to compound things, most GYN's insist they are dexterous enough to insert them with out anethesia. Oh sure! And these are the same guys who won't clip their own toenails without having a sedative first! And how do they fare for safety? Let us count the lawsuits. Most pharmaceutical companies employ men who go to great lengths in playing down their risks. Male doctors are also a part of this conspiracy. Do you realize the little pat speech they spout about the safety and reliability of the IUD was written by a team of used car salesmen? "Now, ladies. We do not pretend to gloss over some minor risks here. But infection, hemorrhage, death...we're talking peanuts in exchange for the happiness of a husband who won't have to use those miserable condoms anymore." It seems to me that the equitable solution to this problem is for an all-female pharmaceutical company to devise a male counterpart of the IUD. It would be "painlessly" inserted into the male's uretha via a Foley catheter. And since it would be inserted only four inches into the uretha, according to what you men have told us about your anatomical structures, you could easily accomodate it with an extra two to seix inches to spare. So, come on guys. Help us gals with this birth control thing by giving your "fair share." We're sure you can all rise to meet the operation! Next devise: the diaphragm...to be discussed in my next post! Enjoi, Dee From sienna@yabbs Fri Aug 12 16:47:13 1994 From: sienna@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: sex II Date: Fri Aug 12 16:47:13 1994 As promised.....more on CONTRACEPTIVES.... THE DIAPHRAGM Inserting one of these things requires the dexterity of a seasoned magician like David Copperfield. You might even want to ask David to help you, but chances are he's booked already. The mere THOUGHT of having to insert a diaphragm sneds many women off packing to the Convent. Most people don't realize that the diaphragm is manufactured by the same company who makes the Frisbee. Constructed of latex rubber with a spring action stronger than a mousetrap's, extreme caution should be taken when trying to insert it. Letting it slip before it's halfway in could result in the diaphragm shooting across the room and slicing your ficus tree in half. The wrost part is reaching your hand into what feel like a Giant Clam - a sensation about as pleasant as feeling dead fish. Probing along, your goal is to find the tip of the cervix. Once you're there (it seems like about 30 feet), your elbow may have disappeared. Now it is time to let go of the diaphragm's spring action, allowing it to snap into the correct position. Brace yourself against a wall because when you let go, the uterus will be absorbing shock waves of an intensity not felt since Hiroshima. Physician's say the diaphragm has a high success rate of preventing pregnancy when used properly. Also, it must be removed within 12 hours after sexual relations. The bad news is that gettign it OUT makes putting it IN look like child's play. You have to go through all those *pleasant* sensations you did when inserting it, PLUS now you have to hook your finger around its delicate rim, greased up by the repeated applications of spermicidal jelly. A note of caution: fingernails are the diaphragm's worst nightmare. You can easily tear through the fragile latex with a well-manicured talon. And for heaven sakes, don't go after it wearing Lee's Press-On nails. Women have been known to lose an entire set of them and still fail to remove the diaphragm. This is also nearly, if not down-right impossible, to explain to a GYN. It's more embarrassing than having him try to retrieve your tampon because you lost the string during insertion. At least they see that in their practice all the time..... This is rather crude and tasteless isnt it? *hehehe* If this offends anyone I apologize. I found it to be hysterically funny (somehow I dont think the men who read this board will share my views......)

Here are the next forms of contraception under attack.... Once again, this is from "Hormones From Hell" by Jan King FOAM In order to be effective, contraceptive foam has to be used in the same quantities it would take to cover a runway for an emergency landing of a Boeing 747. One of the biggest drawbacks of foam is that swimming is prohibited for 24 hours after application, because the user now has the dangerous potential of acting as a giant Alka-Seltzer tablet. JELLIES Similar to the principle of foam, this stuff can be far more hazardous to both sexes. If left in place too long, it can "set-up," with the potential of becoming harder than rock. Then, when attempting any further sexual activity, penetration will be almost impossible unless the male uses a condom with a tiny miner's hemlmet on the end. And he must be made aware of the very real possibility of suffering mutilation in a mine shaft collapse. THE SPONGE This is a new and unique idea in contraceptive items. It is small, compact, and has earned millions for the O-Cello company. Appearing to be the safest porduct to come along in years, it does have one side effect - not dangerous, but annoying. Once it's in place, the wearer is cautioned that upon entering the bathtub, the water level will become drastically reduced. Head injury must also be mentioned as a rare, but possible side effect from making sudden moves while wearing the sponge. For example, carelessly flopping into a chair might create a "rebound" effect, catapulting the unsuspecting female into the ceiling. THE PILL Who needs it? The package alone contains more warnings than were issued at the Iran/Contra Hearings. Some of the possible side effects include stroke, heart attack, cancer, unwanted pregnancy, and divorce. Plus, if you smoke, the incidences are all doubled. If you smoke and drink - triple it. If you smoke, drink, and have sex - forget it! You won't live long enough to finish out the package. Expert medical advice tells us that Russian Roulette gives better odds. CONDOMS The first complaint about this birth control product comes from the female sector of the population. We think manufacturers need to design a package that takes less time to open. While all men still cling to the story that they can last for an entire evening, most of them can't even last until they get the package open. The second complaint is from the men who are concerned about the expiration date stamped on a box of condoms. They all say the same thing: "Who needs this kind of pressure?" THE RYTHM METHOD This rarely works. And unless you are doing it with Bobby Brown in the room, forget it. CELIBACY It is a scientific fact taht any organ which is not used regularly will eventually atrophy. For example, an idle brain will show signs of a lowered IQ; leg muscels rendered immobile by a cast will develop withered muscles, and teeth not subjected to the constant grinding of food will fall out. And an unused sex organ will do all of the above - and in the same order! This poses a double tragedy for some men, too, since their brains are reputedly located in the sex organs. So we all need to heed to the old saying, "Use it or lose it." The good news is that there IS one completely safe, painless, and trouble-free birth control solution available to 100% of the women everywhere. It's called VASECTOMY - and we're all for it!

For those who missed the first three...these exerpts are from a book by Jan King called "Hormones From Hell" Today's Topic: SEX AFTER 40 Myth: Sex gets BETTER after 40. Maybe for Jane Fonda, but for the rest of us, the following scene is the general rule: The husband whines and complains bitterly: "Gee, dear, I can't remember when the LAST time we had sex was." the wife shoots back: "Oh yeah? Well I CAN and that's why we aren't having it anymore!" But take heart. Sex after 40 doesn't have to become a memory. It simply means changing the game plan a little to make accomodations for a body is going downhill faster than Jean Claude Killy. Women have to be on the alert for situations which have the potential for making their bodies appear in worse shape than they already are. We must pay attention to details like: POSITION After 40, a woman's main concern during sex is to display her body in the most flattering position available. This automatically eliminates the hope of ever assuming the superior role again during lovemaking, because it makes the face fall forward and just HANG there, jowls and all. This sight will take the starch out of the best of 'em. Also, lying flat on one's back has the dangerous potential of quadrupling the square footage of thigh spread; a sight so grotesque, your partner may keep the sheet pulled up to your chin. We women are convinced that scientists will soon be isolating the "cellulite gene" that produces the devestating hormone responsible for lumping up all our body fat. But until they do, we'll have to monitor our body positions carefully! LIGHTING The older we get, the less light we desire on the lovemaking scene. Remember in your 20's when you made love in broad daylight, on beaches, in cars, and in the shower? After 40, ladies, we've got a lot more to hide than just our crow's feet. Our bedrooms will slowly make the transition from 60-watt flood bulbs, to 40-watt, to a nightlight, then finally to about half the candlepower generated by an elderly firefly. BY age 60, we're talking about a room so dark it can only be navigated by bats. FOREPLAY Do you remember that? He probably doesn't. Past 40, there is very little actual kissing going on in the bedroom. It takes too much time and saps too much of the energy necessary to complete the actual act. A common practice past 40 is for both partners to meet in the center of the bed, shake hands and get on with it. Young women foolishly spend all of their time worrying about what kind of orgasm they are SUPPOSED to experience. The studies tell us all about the differences between the vaginal, clitoral, uterine, multiple, and most popular, the faked orgasm. But, by 40, women arent worried about having multiple orgasms...they are worried about haveing ANY orgasm. We are also paranoid in this day of AIDS and STD's. Men should never take it personally when a mature woman leaps out of bed just seconds after having sex and stays in the bathroom douching with Commercial Strength Lysol till dawn. Enjoi, Dee From sienna@yabbs Mon Aug 22 13:23:18 1994 From: sienna@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: Sex V Date: Mon Aug 22 13:23:18 1994 NEW AGE SEX: No-no's in the Nineties MYTH: A *good* girl never sleeps with a amn she isn't in love with. Living in the "New Age" doesnt necessarily mean it's not without its new problems. Even though we may be given more options and choices in our sexual behavior, we shouldn't sit around moping because we're past our sexual peaks. the truth is, it's a jungle out ther ein the land of the Sexually Active. Maybe we should be glad our hormonally-impaired reproductive organs are representing their own era, otherwise known as the Age of the Listless Libido. In the New Age, people don't waste valuable time talking about love. they've got more potent sexually stimulating hormones coursing through them than Baskin-Robbins has flavors. So they just settle for "know" - which means about a 30 minute conversation. During these days of the dangerous diseases, you'd better show up at your favorite pick-up bar armed with a checklist twice as long as Gene Simmon's tongue. It's the best sexual aid you'll ever find to help in identifying potentially safe partners. Remember, you're already the victim of your own hormones, so you don't want to be the victim of somebody else's misguided ones. The keystone of the '90's is precaution - and Safe Sex doesn't mean "not falling off the bed" like it used to. So take along your checklist and make your opening line something like this: "HI there...say...you're kinda cute - but first, do you happen to have... (at which point you pull out your list) * Herpes I? * Syphilis? * Herpes II? * AIDS? * Herpes MDXXVIII? * Genital Warts? * Clap? * Crabs? * Gonorrhea? * Cold Sores? * Running Sores? * Running Shoes (smelly)? * Body Lice? * Body Odor? * Heart Disease? * Heartworm? * Facial tics? * Dog ticks? * Flat feet? * Crows feet? * The HEartbreak of Psoriasis? * Ringworm? * A pinki ring? * A chest hair dickey? * Gold Chains? * A membership to the Hair Club For Men? Also, sexual identity can get pretty confusing in the New Age, so you've got to be sure that the person you're contemplating doesn't throw you any surprises. The situation clearly warrants further cross-examination, employing the tough tactics last used during the McCarthy Hearings: "Well...you sure look like a Major Hunk to me, big guy...but...are you now or have you ever been: * Married or single? * Straight or Gay? * Bisexual or Heterosexual? * Jewish or Gentile? * Transsexual or transvestite? * Aphrodite or hermoaphrodite? * A cross-dresser or wearing a Cross-Your-Heart? * Into leather, S&M, or Cool Whip? * Featured in the chorus line of La Cage Aux Folles? * A love child of Steve Garvey? * In love with Steve Garvey?" If you somehow make it past all those major hurdles and actually decide to "do it", the next step is to decide upon a mutually agreaable form of condom. This information must be finessed with as much dignity as possible under the circumstances. A genteel way of introducing the topic would be: "Condom?" "Don't mind if I do." "Latex or Sheepskin? Standard or extra thin? Colored or natural? Ribbed or smooth? Lubricated or non-lubricated? Spermicide or plain? Reservoir tipped or blunt end? Designer or generic? Jif or Skippy? Battery powered or kick start? French tickler or French Vanilla? Eelskin or sharkskin? Forward or reverse gear? Wesson oil or motor oil? Sausage or Pepperoni stuffed?" Whew! Now we're getting somewhere. If all systems are go - then the next phase is choosing a mutually agreeable site and setting: "Your place or mine? Outdoors or indoors? Back seat or front? Waterbed or regular mattress? Nite time or nooner? Candlelit or dark? Bathtub or shower stall? Video camerea or Polaroid? Naked or basic Victoria's Secret? Straight or kinky? Sexual aids or fantasy? 120 or 220 volt? Orchestra Pit or aisle? Individual or group plan? French or English horn? Amyl nitrate From sienna@yabbs Mon Aug 22 13:28:39 1994 From: sienna@yabbs To: sienna@yabbs Subject: re: Sex IV Date: Mon Aug 22 13:28:39 1994 Ack I got cut off! I last typed: > or aisle? Individual or group plan? French or English horn? Amyl nitrate or sodium nitrate? Prison warden or basic Nazi? Will you be Batman or Robin? Holy hormones! Once all the particulars have been worked out, unfortuantely so has your sex urge. At this rate, "Zero Population Growth" is bound to become a self-fulfilling prophecy in the New Age. Let's not forget that a lady *always* has the perogative of changing her mind. In fact, most women change it more often than their vibrator batteries. And if the guys you date don't like it, too bad. To make your point, simply pull out a torn condom and shout "Stop in the nae of love!" And if you think the dating scene is just too sexually demanding for your tastes, and you're afraid you might end up disappointing a lot of guys - get married - that way you'll only have to disappoint one.

I really don't want to let yabbs die, so I'm trying to save it... there are a couple of ways that this could be done... 1: If Alex is willing to let us continue to run yabbs on his 'puter until another net connection can be found I'd be willing to take on the hassle of running the system. I have the hardware and the time, but I can't afford a good enough net connection right now, and it'll take time to work out a free one. or 2: Roth and I could keep the system running of of a commercial site which is willing to let us have a connection for $5/month per user... Personally, I think it is worth it to keep yabbs alive, because this is the best damned BBS I've seen... This will hopefully only be temporary until I can find another way to get a good connection... I hate it having to make people pay for Yabbs as much, if not more, than anybody else here. Unfortunately, it costs a lot of money to get a net connection fast enough to keep up with the traffic on yabbs... If anybody has any other ideas, comments, suggestions, complaints, etc, put them on here or email: me at les@cyberspace.org or Roth at michaelhl@ids.net ANY help would be appriceated!

I'd rather not do this myself, because one of the reasons that I am taking yabbs down (among many) is that i want to be able to use my machine for other stuff...while yabbs doesn't take the power of the whole system, it does make a noticable drain on the machine... alex From Covenant@yabbs Tue Aug 23 11:54:16 1994 From: Covenant@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: yabbs Date: Tue Aug 23 11:54:16 1994 hmmm, I've only been able to access yabbs a few times this summer and I have just now read about yabbs going down and the email list. for what it's worth: Covenant is: Bill Brocklehurst wbrockle@uceng.uc.edu *sniff* :( it's been great.

Please > hold on and you will find out. yabbs will die, at least in the way I know it. I have been on the net for many years, and have been part of a good many virtual communities in that time. I treasure the memories, but even when many people tried, we could not hold on to a community that was fading. Even if someone else puts yabbs up somewhere else, it will have a slightly different nature, a slightly different character. It will be a different bbs. There is nothing inherently wrong with this. The new bbs could have a strong, if not stronger, sense of community than yabbs presently does. The change may be so subtle that few but the oldest of the old-timers even notice. But to deny that it is different is just not true. And perhaps appropriately, the name of the mailing list, 'yabbs-is-dead', is like a good many other things on yabbs, it is a joke. -k From sienna@yabbs Wed Aug 24 21:52:19 1994 From: sienna@yabbs To: Typhon@yabbs Subject: re: Crushes re funny Date: Wed Aug 24 21:52:19 1994 Oh matthew...that is so sweet! *hug* Dee From sienna@yabbs Wed Aug 24 21:53:11 1994 From: sienna@yabbs To: TedeBere@yabbs Subject: I am glad Date: Wed Aug 24 21:53:11 1994 I am so glad that I brought laughter to you.....*hug* that makes me feel better...

Since they are in a proprietary format (and thus not that useful if you don't run yabbs) I've written a program that converts entire message bases to something that is a) human readable and b) pine and elm (both popular unix mail readers) can handle. When the system goes down I'll make copies every message base converted to this format available. This way people can keep their own copies of stuff like the poetry mail base...

I think I've worked out a plan to save yabbs that won't cost everybody $5/month... I'm still trying to get in touch with my friend to see if it'll be okay with him ,but it probably will: I'm going to piece together a 'puter capable of running yabbs that I can leave in a friend of mine's dorm room at CMU... He isn't using the ethernet connection in his room, which means that there is the net connection needed for yabbs (this being the most expensive part gotten for free!). I already have a HD that can be used, and will have a motherboard soon, (although it'll only be a 386) and Roth has offered the use of an ethernet card and some memory, but I still need to get a case and more memory in order to run yabbs efficiently... Thus, in order to save yabbs, I'm asking that anybody who can afford to send a donation to please consider doing so. Any money (or even parts!) sent will not be used for anything other than running yabbs... I'll know for certain in a day or two whether or not this plan is going to work, and I will post here once I do.

I'm sorry if you think I was against a free yabbs. I jsut want to see yabbs live on in a very secure environment. If this can be done by Death for free I am all for it..but if there is any doubt taht yabbs may be in danger of expiring again..I would rather see IDS.net pick it up even at a cost of $5 a month. I also heard that yabbs would be down during Christmas break and during the summer...that would be pretty devastating to most of us who like to use the bbs year round. That is all I have to say about that (Forrest Gump). I hope there are no hard feelings between us...

I sincerly hope yabbs can be relocated and I personally wouldn't mind paying to use it, so long as the money is used to keep the net connection and upgrade the server. There is a great sense of community here, which is probably why yabbs is so popular and why everyone will miss it so much.

Don't get me wrong, i _will_ pay for the privaledge but... I discovered yabbs by accident earlier this year. If i had to pay to use yabbs i wouldn't have given it a second look, i wouldn't have met half the people here etc, etc. What will happen to the casual passer by who is just looking to find something to do, which i'm sure is how most of us discovered yabbs, what then? I don't see that many newbies coming to yabbs and most of the new people we'll see will be net subscribers.... The idea is good to keep out the trouble makers however. The few people who want to spoil it for the rest of us, but freedom is one of the things that made yabbs what it is.... Think about these points... they are pretty important. Again i'd like to thank Alex, running a BBS isn't easy and i've learned from this experience. Thanks to roth who sofar for caring enough about YABBS to take it on.

As far as I know the yabbs gtg won't be happening...unless a new system goes up and people there plan it. I was never involved with this one in the first place (didn't even really plan on attending)... The story with yabbs going down is basically that I want to be able to use my computer for other stuff and don't have the time/energy/interest to run the system anymore. Death and a few others are working on getting a new system up that yabbs could run on. Details about that will be posted here until this system goes down, and then after that they will be available on the yabbs is dead mailing list (to join send mail to yabbs-is-dead-request@nine.org). In addition using gopher or telnet to try and connect to this yabbs will tell you any current news about the starting of a replacement system. If all goes well with Death and his crew total downtime will probably be on the order of 2 weeks to a month in getting a new system up. alex From Crip@yabbs Fri Sep 2 16:30:35 1994 From: Crip@yabbs To: l@yabbs Subject: re: Yabbs!

Date: Sun Sep 4 02:06:47 1994 Well, it has finally come to be... I am home for the weekend, which is the only reason I am on yabbs at all. The college I transferred to doesnt have a net connection yet, although we get the machine Tuesday, so within the next few weeks we should have internet email and all that fun stuff.... Well, I really have made many friends (and a few enemies...) here and I want you all to kow that in some way, shape or form, you have all touched me in many different ways. I have elarned so much, and true, while many of these lessons have been hard to learn, they have been lessons I needed to learn. I learned some things about friendship. I learned some things about lies and trust. I learned a thing or two about love, although it may have been painful and it may have been sad; I even learned a thing or two about myself. I am sorry to see Yabbs go down, but knowing Les, it will be up and running soon. There are way too many of you people to name, but you all know who you are. Most of you are named in my plan file. Know that I love you all. I have to say a few special hellos, mixed with some terrible strong sad emotions to the following: ZIPPO: How could I have ever made it without you? NEPHILIM: I love you, sweetie. FAITH/NATALIE/VAL: You guys are the greatest. BLUEMAX: Where do I begin? Without you, I would be having breakfast with Jesus right now. I love you, sweetie. Thanks for being a true friend. DEATH: Thanks for being you. And for the efforts you are putting into saving yabbs. You are so wonderful! For now, know that I love you all, and we may cross paths again someday. Until that time, remember... "To thine ownself be true..." -Polonius to Laertes in "Hamlet" and "There are many different worlds, and many different suns; and we have but just one world, but we live in different ones." -Knopfler and "IT IS ONLY WITH THE HEART THAT ONE AMY SEE RIGHTLY...WHAT IS ESSENTIAL IS INVISIBLE TO THE EYE." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery "The Little Prince" Farewell, all.

I've had a great time everyone and I hope it will be back up at a new site soon. I'll omit all the rest of that mushy crap people usually put in a last post like this because that's just not me. And besides ... the people (person) that I want to get all mushy with I can see almost any day in real life :) Love ya topi *grin* So farewell my friends who I won't see again and I hope life treats you well. But perhaps you should all stop fooling around on things like yabbs and go out and get real lives :) Have Fun !
