wouldn't know a fist from a fuck.
so take the blow, or take a duck.
anyone can take the time
talk out yer ass, and make it rhyme.
None of you know what is up
So take the clue, your time to shut
your jaded and rejected smut
as tired as your wrinkly butt.
Not relevant, or intelligent.
So take the hint, get out, get bent.
See, other people can make rhymy noises too!
So go back to your original language, fart noise.
Intoxicatedly hate dizzy
Exhileratin' Man hate
Sups to the back beat
Of her own ate out heart
With a slim side order
Of ravin' madness in the dark...
Better (IMO) than most of klytus' (says Biggun's minion).
Slums on a Broadsheet
Hopin' to "get lucky"
This issue of fetishistic underwear images will itself dissappear as it loses its novelty but it does reveal a potential for issues of individual rights that will linger for a lot longer and with greater implications. I wonder how long before we will naturally wear devices or have built into our clothing that affords a kind of electronic cloaking capability. While I'm not afraid of someone taking pictures of anyone's underwear or crotch, I see that this strikes at a sense of security we all relish and feel violated when it's breached. .
I can't believe some of what I'm reading.
There are actually people who are defending this action, even going so far as to claim that women are asking for by wearing skirts.
I'm not sure I've ever been witness to such a ridiculous claim in my entire life. If I wear a skirt, it is NOT an invitation for you to snap a picture of my panties. PERIOD. Even trying to defend such actions is evidence of your own depravity, not mine.
To the guy who claimed "if you have a problem being looked at, maybe the problem is YOU" I would like to say that I have no problem being looked at. I do, however, have a problem with a stranger feeling that they are within their rights to look underneath my clothes.
The first time I heard about this, I was sick. It is completely unfathomable that anyone would claim that you don't have an expectation that what is under your clothes is to stay private unless you choose to reveal it. Newsflash for the idiot judge that threw this out: PUBLIC is not what is under my clothing. When I'm in public, if you take my picture, I can't stop it. But you have NO RIGHT to take a photograph, or even just take a peek, underneath my skirt without my permission. It's a violation of my basic human rights, and moreoever, a complete stripping away of my dignity.
I feel sorry for you people who can't see how wrong on many levels this is. Would you be okay with your DAUGHTER having to deal with this for having the NERVE to go outside? I hope someone does it to them, so you can justify to HER that it's "okay" and that "she was asking for it" because she had the poor taste to wear a skirt.
Un-fucking-believable.
It's not just women being victimized by this kind of behavior. My boyfriend has, several times, been photographed naked by guys using cell cameras when he's in the gym locker room. He politely asks them to erase the photos when he's caught them doing this, but who knows how many he's missed?
The Cloaca-ing Device.
This fall, in stores everywhere.
Shit's gotten all convolted
Cross purposed and emotion polluted
Brightstar I figure is the peep defender
E. Liz stikes the stance
Of castration dick render...
I cannot believe what prudes we Americans are.
Says I peddle smut
When I can't even stand the sight of dirty drawers
Or beskirted female butts
Properly tucked away
Clean underwear.
I had a young friend once, he travelled to the topless beaches along the Mediteranean, hid in the bushes with a telephoto lens and took roll after roll, photos of young European women sunbathing topless. Were they bare breasted to show off for men? Doubt it. Those beaches are filled with breasts - from babies to their grannies and no one seems to give a damn (I've been there, done that)
My young "ugly american" friend could have gone over and talked to them, those young women he was photographing - all the same mid 20's age, but no, he hid in the bushes.
If he had talked to them, no one would have reacted angrily. He might even have had fun.
He got caught and then chased off the beach by several rather angry Europeans who made mention of how immature Americans are.
He thinks of it as one of his fun adventures, I cringe with embarrassment as an American.
It is not prudish to expect people to keep their cameras out from between my legs if I wear a skirt or dress and happen to be in a public place.
What do you think it is? This need to invade and the justification for the peeping action? Seems a rather juvenile perversion to me.
I see Paris. I see France. I see JaneDoes underpants!
Freakin' pervs. Grow up.
I might have tried rhyming Kentucky with shmucky.
I hope you realized my post rhymed too.
I read, all the time, about guys who get touched in their privates by women they barely know. I read about women touching the men on various body parts or making lascivious gestures or asking unwanted private questions.
I hear about women deliberately exposing themselves to men they want, often those men do not want in return.
Ask any woman who has a son in high school these days who is even mildly handsome and she will tell you the stories of how transgressive young women in high school are these days.
But in 90%+ of these cases the guys let it roll off. They laugh or they move away or whatever.
Don't tell me women are harmless compared to men, as if all men are larger than all women.
If men can harm women, women can harm too. Women use guns, knives, tools, pots, pans and other weaponry against men all the time. Women can wound with their words or gestures. They can harm by using psychology to put men down.
I really think it is time for women to give up the constant 'victim' mentality. A lot of us guys do not buy it a whit, no matter how many times you women tell us you are little teensy helpless victims who will float away on a breeze if you are not holding onto something.
