His complaints we - I kicked too hard to close any gap ahead of me in the passing lane when things fouled up, opening one up in front of him instead.

These bunches do exist.. been in one or two.. but I always feel they are slumming having me near them... more to the point THEY think they are slumming These people think 3 inches is enough clearence too. I,m only comfortable that close to someone these days while having sex Dave wrote: These people think 3 inches is enough clearence too. I,m only comfortable that close to someone these days while having sex on a bike??? now THAT's impressive You should only be having sex if you want to create offspring. Sex for any other purpose is immoral and disgusting. My recommendation is that you desist altogether as there are already too many people in the world. Have some consideration for other animal species that occupy the planet with us. We are crowding them out with our rabbit like instinct for procreation. The way things are going we will end up with just ourselves, the rats and the cockroaches. All the tsunamis don't make a dent in the world population. Where is the bubonic plague (the Black Death) when it is needed? So I won't be accused of being totally off topic all the time, group etiquette dictates that you remain at least 6 feet away from your fellow human beings at all times. Why would anyone ever want to get any closer. We are nothing but smelly apes. It is best never to shake hands with anyone either. All you are doing is spreading your disgusting germs around. The thought of kissing anyone ought to send shivers up and down your spine. Howard Hughes had it right. Go hide yourself and abhor all human contact (except for Usenet of course). And use lots of Kleenix for such things as door knobs and telephones. We need to isolate ourselves from one another. "Every man is an island, no man is part of the continent." That is a bit of Biblical wisdom for those of you who still think there is a God, although I have it on good authority that He died a few centuries ago. Darwin and Science killed Him. I do not want to be accused anymore of being off topic as I have just proven I can be on topic when the occasion calls for it. I have pronounced the last word on Group Etiquette. Unless you have got a doctorate degree in sociology and anthropology, I do not want to hear from you. I am tired of being nit picked to death by dwarfs. -- Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward - Order of the Perpetual Miseries - Minnesota |

Sex for any other purpose is immoral and disgusting. How booring. Actually sex beetween consenting people who like each other. is at the very worse.. good and enjoyable exercise and at the best much much better than that. Sex is the most serious business in the world. It should never be engaged in for any other reason than procreation. All the sexually transmitted diseases in the world, including the deadly AIDS, is nature's pronouncement on "good and enjoyable." No, sex is serious business and is not here to be enjoyed. Looked at in a certain way, it is nothing but drudgery. But nature has provided some pleasure to go along with it to make damn sure that we do it. After all, nature is only concerned with the perpetuation of the species. That is why nature can kill individuals with abandon as long as the species survives. My recommendation is that you desist altogether as there are already too many people in the world. Have some consideration for other animal species that occupy the planet with us. We are crowding them out with our rabbit like instinct for procreation. The way things are going we will end up with just ourselves, the rats and the cockroaches. All the tsunamis don't make a dent in the world population. Where is the bubonic plague (the Black Death) when it is needed? Sadly here I am in total agreement. Actually its more like horrifyingly. So I won't be accused of being totally off topic all the time, group etiquette dictates that you remain at least 6 feet away from your fellow human beings at all times. Why would anyone ever want to get any closer. We are nothing but smelly apes. It is best never to shake hands with anyone either. All you are doing is spreading your disgusting germs around. The thought of kissing anyone ought to send shivers up and down your spine. Howard Hughes had it right. Go hide yourself and abhor all human contact (except for Usenet of course). And use lots of Kleenix for such things as door knobs and telephones. Gawd That is what everybody says when they hear my view on things. Quite a mystery to me I must say. However, all of the above was tongue in cheek. Apparently I need to exaggerate even more. We need to isolate ourselves from one another. "Every man is an island, no man is part of the continent." That is a bit of Biblical wisdom for those of you who still think there is a God, although I have it on good authority that He died a few centuries ago. Darwin and Science killed Him. I do not want to be accused anymore of being off topic as I have just proven I can be on topic when the occasion calls for it. I have pronounced the last word on Group Etiquette. Unless you have got a doctorate degree in sociology and anthropology, I do not want to hear from you. I am tired of being nit picked to death by dwarfs. Ummm. I did a masters in sociology.. And so little use it did me. I was under the impression it would teach me more about women and I would get laid more often. Alas it didnt work. Sociology - me too. But a very strong minor in anthropolgy. Anyway Ed. feel free to come no closer than 6 feet to a consenting woman. And feel free to not procreate. Let me not discourage you. For my part I will feel free to get as close as trust allows. However since I have trouble taking care of a cat. (well no I don;t but it is a responsibility) I may try to avoid procreation my self. Getting a tad old for that anyway I have got 8 cats, 4 males and 4 females. It is quite a job keeping them separate, but if I don't I will end up with hundreds of them. Because of my experience with cats, I am death on procreation. Maybe sex just for the pleasure of it might be a good thing after all. -- Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota |
