Prostitution - a high-risk profession

Ouch!

Stiletto, I hope to meet you in the flesh one day. But I must warn you I’m rather “uncouth”. You could even say I’m a bit of a caveman.

I really would like to have a romantic dinner with you. You know, candlelights, dragging you by the hair all over the house, and all that stuff.

Michael Jackson

Posted by Stiletto under Personal , News , Commentary

I found a funny satire article which I’m putting here below.

But I first want to say that I have nothing at all against Michael Jackson. I like his music and dancing. I don’t care much about his personality, I think he was a very sick and traumatized man.

The unusual thing was a beautiful horse roaming around lose on the main road. But more on this later

Here is another article by Nunya

Today someone I love very much sent her baby brother to Iraq, or Afghanistan, I can’t even remember which one because it is so incredibly painful. It made me reflect on what Memorial Day really means. What does it mean to YOU?

Coucou again…

Posted by Stiletto under Personal , Commentary

Hello everyone,

Thank you for those who were worried about my disappearance. No, no Christian assholes came to bash my French prostitute friend this time.

She and me went for a holiday and visited things. She has a car now. It was wonderful. I have seen some beautiful things.

I am sorry to publish something that might at first seem just a petty personal matter.

The reason I indulge is that I believe it reflects something much broader than my personal conflict with Jeanette.

Добро пожаловать, Barack Hussein Obama

Posted by Stiletto under Politics , News , Commentary

Most Americans celebrate Obama’s victory and the demonstrations of happiness in USA must have been televized in the whole world.

I thought it would be nice if the celebrations of happiness happening in other parts of the world were known also. I invite everyone from every corner of this planet to share what it’s like in their home country.

For my part, I don’t know what it’s like in my home country, but since I live in Europe now, I want to share what is happening here.

Prostitution illegal in EU?

Posted by Stiletto under Personal , Commentary

Ok, something pisses me off here. I read and re-read this EU report.

Some things, ok, I can stomach, others I think “fuck this you ignorant pigs”. And not just WHITE MALE PIGS. I am beginning to think WHITE FEMALE PIGS are even worse species.

You read this and tell me what you think. I’ll tell you what I think at the end.

I read some interesting and beautiful things about nature lately.

I am tired of humans for now, they give me the shits, they fuck everything up, if only they could all destroy each other it would be wonderful. I am sure all the animals and plants on this planet would agree with me.

I hope these quotes and pictures warm your heart.

US elections - Part One

New Hampshire primary winners

I’m posting this article on behalf of Jeanette who compiled this explanation/description of part one of the complex American electoral system.

Complex to the point where it makes next to no sense to Europeans used to a much more straight forward process, and since this event is all over the daily news, we guys might as well have a clue of what is actually going on instead of just shaking our heads in bewilderment and thinking “those Yanks are really off the planet, no wonder they still use a barbaric and antiquated unit system”, lol.

Geishas

I feel inspired to write this post because of something Kristina said in the “A new thread for the sake of it” post where there was a discussion about prostitution.

It’s a mixture of personal things and a topic which I believe concerns the entire world.

And because of something which happened to me today. I’ll explain further on. For now here is what Kristina said:

I went shopping this morning at Casino Géant (for our international friends, it’s a nation wide hypermarket chain like Walmart in the US), and look what I found!

A white Siberian Tiger mom with her cub, for 16.40 euros, and she doesn’t bite my ass off either, potty trained and everything!

Barb volunteered to take the lead and let me publish her email about her recent holiday.

But he managed to pull off in 2 months what the EU fucked around with for 4 years without any success, i.e. the release of these 7 female Bulgarian nurses and the one male Palestinian doctor.

Is anyone here into photography? I’m not particularly, but Dianne is trying to make a living from it, selling her photos on microstock sites.

I thought perhaps this post would make a good outlet for things related to photography for those interested, or even anything else that is not heavy duty socio/political discussion - just fun stuff.

Abbé Pierre: farewell, brother, humankind will remember you

Posted by WhyNot under News , Commentary

Abbé Pierre

Abbé Pierre died a few hours ago, aged 94. Like Mother Theresa, he devoted his life to redress injustice, homelessness and poverty - not only in third world countries but in our own western ones, where poverty and misery are daily facts of life.

Farewell, brother, you’ve done more for the poor and the homeless than all the cabinet ministers and presidents of Europe, Africa and the rest of the world combined.

Uplifting news from Amnesty International

This is indeed great news.

But then again the guy’s right to live is not won, but merely delayed till July 2007.

How about joining in with AI and voice your support to eradicate the United States’ shame of all shames, only matched by countries like Somalia and Saudi Arabia, i.e. the prehistorical & barbaric concept of death penalty?

Hell, if your purse is really tight, you don’t even need to spoon out a cent: just SAY something. Say “NO, death penalty is barbaric, it puts the USA to shame”. Fuck, it ain’t that hard to do, is it?
