That is about the time he left the organization... perhaps they just weren't aware of the extent? Or were unaware of the illegal (underage) parts...

I don't know - I'm not really following that story closely, for reasons at the END of this posting...

What I do know is that the organization stands for Conservative Ideals - many of which I agree with - but didn't "sell their soul" to authoritarianism or turn a blind eye to essentially treason in exchange for a Supreme Court judge or two (or three!).

I also know that I'm not one to throw around guilt by association claims or accusations.

If I did, most of the largest Evangelical Christian organizations in the US (not to mention the Catholic Church) would have been burned to the ground by now for the sins of their past leaders... Sins also against children

Porn is entertainment
Sex is entertainment

Porn is FANTASY
Sex is real-life

If anyone is a SC collector, I have a near-complete set.

NOTE however, I download the higher-resolution versions, then recode them to 720p (even on my 4K monitors, that's PLENTY of resolution for my wanking pleasure!). The resulting files DO NOT match other files on sharing sites, AND they're somewhat smaller.

So let me know - Happy to fill requests!

PLEASE: Do not ask me to post the whole collection! Too much work! And GIANT torrents don't help anyone! I'm happy to post up to 10 at a time...

@ricky

Congrats on the position! I'm sure you'll get more out of it than you put into it! That's always been my experience in volunteer positions

@carrilhogare said in THIS or THAT: the game:

Take cum (from the ass) to use like a lube for second round or not?

ALWAYS! I'm multi-orgasmic, so the first shot is ALMOST ALWAYS just lube for the second!

Let's swerve off the kink/sex ride here....

Motorboat or kayak (a canoe would be considered a kayak in this case)...?

You couldn't get much more private than a BBS.

That is somewhat less true than you know. We were just individuals - and sometimes the cops came calling... different sysops handled things differently.

I actually helped organize other local sysops (gay, straight, non-sexual BBSes all together) to help standardize how we did things (learn from each other). Many of us (BBS Owners) would get requests by police from time to time! They were NOT oblivious!

Brevard County Sheriffs knew me and knew I was happy to help when it was a case of violence, or theft, or the like... but NOT willing to help in (the thankfully rare) case of "outing someone" (mostly they didn't care if you were gay, but sometimes I'd get subpoenaed in a divorce case (trying to prove infidelity, esp same-sex infidelity) or some lame indecency suit... we did NOT comply with those, and I had some limited ACLU support in that.)

Honestly, the only cases where we (BCSD and I) truly butted heads were the prostitution cases... I wouldn't support giving up data for that.

So, by way of examples:

• Is/Was Bob Smith a member of your system (will not answer)
• Is the user aaa actually Bob Smith (will not answer)
• Is Bob Smith actually the user aaa (will not answer)
• We already know Bob Smith is user aaa - is he of legal age? (IF TRUE, we provide copy of ID. IF NOT, we did not - and we wouldn't allow "fishing" either...)
• We believe Bob Smith is engaging in prostitution, can we read their messages and confirm? (will not answer)
• Bob Smith was attacked, and we believe he was setup by users on your BBS... (We had this happen: We got Bob's permission* - then WE (not police) perused "Bob"'s messages and determined that he WAS setup. We provided ALL copies of his messages to/fro the attacker & I testified in court. Lawyers wanted ALL of their (perp's) messages, but I declined to provide that. I DID, however, send a note to ALL PERSONS the offender messaged on our system, giving them the scoop and providing a police number to report any additional offenses to.

The point is, though, some SysOps would comply completely with the police, and in some jurisdictions, those were fishing expeditions - trying to "out the queers" and charge them with indecency for posting nude pictures!

(Remember: at dial-up speeds, you got PICS, not VIDEOS!)

@nhuixnhuix

Excellent question.

MY PERSONAL definition of a twink is a lithe (skinny), smooth body, likely a little smaller than average, and often moderately to more effeminate.

MY PERSONAL definition doesn't include age...

I LOVE TWINKS OF ALL AGES!

@ricky

I used to run/host a 6-line BBS system for LGBTQ (just "gays and lesbians" back then!) on the Space Coast of Florida.

The best part of it was that I didn't have to download the images - they were right there on my system!

I had some problems with it when I had a BF though - he would login and do things (read other people's messages, approve memberships, etc) without my knowledge. He let a couple of kids join (I always required ID - he was more interested that they were cute!), and that nearly got me shutdown!

The BBS (I named it Space Coast MOTSS after the UseNet group MOTSS - for Members Of The Same Sex) long outlived my relationship with my ex (he was actually my first ever boyfriend!)... but I closed it down when I moved to the west coast of Florida ca. 1992.

Six modems back in the day (14.4kbps - v.32bis!)!
We were one of only 2 in the area that had multiple lines, so you might - might - actually be able to chat live with someone!

@raphjd

Come now - do you really think George Floyd is the first black man killed at the hands of police? What made that case blow up was solely the fact that it was captured - in its entirety - on video, and then made public. Plus the fact that it took over 8-minutes for the man to die - slowly - as the policeman showed complete indifference.

Take that one facet away, and he's just another statistic!

The truth is, death by cop is an epidemic in our country - and with easily defined reasons:

• Police are not trained to de-escalate a situation! Rather, they are trained to escalate and gain control of the situation! Often with tragic consequences - and not just the civilians!
• Police are given advanced tactical gear (largely military), and often are looking for a reason to use it (to justify maintaining it, for one!)
• Police are trained in military-style attack methods - often mirroring the military's training. This is actually counter to the primary function we give to our Police: to preserve the peace.

As a result, the Police often act as-if the public were the enemy, and that virtually all situations are potentially violent.

IMHO, we need to re-think what we want out of our Police force... Do we want Robo-Cop (who shoots first and asks questions later)? Or, do we want Adam-12: (Reference to a 1960's and 70's police drama about 2 LA police officers who routinely went out of their way to help people, catch the really bad guys, and sometimes give people who need it a break.)??

@raphjd

I'm sorry, if you payed as much attention to the goofball (and frankly, just as dangerous) ideas coming from the RIGHT as you do the LEFT, you'd see why the MSM just doesn't think it's newsworthy -- at least, not until it gains traction....

When you only have 22 minutes (or even 45!) to present the news (allowing for all the commercials that interrupt), combined with the desire to do a "deep dive" on one or two of them, and there is just precious little "space" to report on the pop-up fringe nutball ideas - even the dangerous ones...

That doesn't take away from the fact that both the far-left and the far-right are becoming even more radical in these times... and, in-fact both are becoming dangerous... it's just that there's so much ELSE out there that is "of consequence"...

BTW: That's why MSM came up with their NEWS magazine shows - 60 minutes, Dateline, 20/20, and so forth...

And cable news? Sheesh - they have the opposite problem... there just isn't 24-hours worth of actual news out there to report on in MOST 24-hour period! They need filler - and these hyper-extreme stories can sometimes fill the void...

Funny - now that we're in the Information Age we're REALLY STRUGGLING with clear and important aspects of Communication!

@raphjd

Of course I think it's wrong... I think it's "wacky" wrong...

But the part of your post I replied to was the part about MSM not reporting on it!

The point I was trying to make is that I see this kind of "wacky" (just plain bad) idea on the leftist and rightist sites all the time... they don't get traction - usually not even on their own networks - and the bad concept dies a quick and quiet (and well-deserved) death...

In other words, the MSM doesn't cover this kind of dumb idea unless (until?) it starts to gain traction in the wacky world from which it originates - unless they're doing a segment on stupid things that should have never been said or something...

You know the segments: where they look at how they convinced themselves that we'd all be in flying cars by 2000!

@raphjd

I should point out that I also peruse the BBC, DW, GlobalTV, and other "international" news outlets - I try not to be US-Centric...

And for the record, some of those outlets have a "political bent" as well - I think it's really hard to present news without some kind of angle. Further, I think the appearance of impartiality we like to remember about the newscasters of old is a beautiful illusion

@ricky said in Trump VS Biden LGBTQ:

Would someone that is anonymous, need privacy?

Actually, the privacy concern there would be the maintenance of their anonymity.

@duke4172

I'm not so sure about histrionics (and from @raphjd? Pot meet kettle!)

But it certainly has a liberal bent... that said, a lot of the "acceptance" of LGBTQ people are progressive ideals.

The terms "Conservative", "Liberal", "Progressive", "Libertarian" and so forth can be applied to many very different "parts" of our politics.

For example, I consider myself a Conservative on many fiscal and government policy areas. I consider myself a Progressive Libertarian (both) on most social issues (in a nutshell: leave people alone to live their personal lives they way they want, so long as it doesn't actually hurt others!)

In a broad sense, I think our American (and global) Society is being challenged on 2 major fronts:

• the lack of privacy (everything seems to be everyone else's business these days!)
• the rise of anonymity (the true test of a man is how he acts when he thinks no one is watching -- and most of our Society fails this test!!)

Until we can find ways to ensure people's privacy, and at the same time hold people accountable for their actions (even verbal/texted ones) -- seemingly opposite issues -- we're going to struggle...

@bc22

I've posted about this before....

The reason Obama, Trump, and now Biden can make all of these Executive Orders is because there is no controlling law. I think Biden hit it on the head when he said he wasn't creating law, he was creating policy!

It's up to the Legislature to make LAW - and when they do, Presidential Executive Orders are either codified into law, or overturned by the law.

This is a symptom of a totally broken congress.

It was broken under Republican "rule" in Obama's term, it was broken (even worse?) under Trump's term... it remains to see just how broken it remains in Biden's...

And the result is that we all get whiplash when a new President comes in and starts changing all the "policy" - for which there are no laws!

Congress needs to pull its head out of its collective ass and start passing laws! Start by evaluating the Trump version and the Biden version of some of these Executive Orders... get together and negotiate a middle-ground that both sides hate equally! Codify it into law, and STOP THE MADNESS!

@raphjd

I get my news from multiple sources.... some Internet, some "print", almost none "cable news"

It is a fair charge to say I can't speak directly to what's on FoxNews or MSNBC airwaves (a misnomer, as neither is a broadcaster!)... because I can't watch either, except to watch clips online.

There's a good reason for that: I cut the cable years ago What little "live" TV I watch is through *https://locast.org" - a re-broadcaster of over-the-air TV signals...

I like to watch the Atlanta area news, even though I don't live there anymore.

My VPN provider makes that easy LOL

As for online news: I read from several sites: some liberal, some conservative (I won't name them here)... the stories that I believe are the ones that are reported by ALL of them

As for the "political" take, I am smart enough to filter that out - filter it out of foxnews.com, filter it out of cnn.com, and filter it out of the others.
