Go home, Knoxville, you're drunk pt 342:
For those who haven't read these before, Stacey Campfield is a state senator who represents the west part of Knoxville. He says a lot of dumb things. The thing that relates most to this story is the time he went on national radio and told everyone how AIDS came from a gay guy f*cking a monkey. Shortly after this, he entered a restaurant in Downtown Knoxville, and the owner told him to get out because she didn't want business from him. Fast forward to today. Touched off by Paula Deen's whole thing (which is a whole different conversation), a writer for the local paper pens an opinion piece that basically stated Mr. Campfield being refused service is the same thing as minorities being refused service in the Segregation era South and that discrimination is alive and well. It has just changed targets. This article was not meant to be satire.
Neither of us posted a PM in dealing with eachother.
Exactly.
Obviously I'm confused. I thought you were accusing someone of something that they didn't do is all. Whether I disagree with them or not I did not want them to be wrongly accused is all.

Judge me by the content of my character, not the color of my skin.
I just got a call. My sis house in Cali (not wild fire related) burned up last night. They lost their doggie and everything they own including their car. They have traveled the world and had all sorts of collections of things including some of my parents memory things ...Sad day for them ....cr****
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.

This is awful Ron, I'm really sorry to hear that. Terrible to hear about their dog, and we often really don't value our keepsakes until something like this happens.
I like the science thread idea. or science/tech. I'm still holding out for my HUD glasses, personally.
also, I really just came in here to say, I love all of you. even those of you I don't know either IRL (which is still most of you) or have had any interaction with on here. when I first came across inforoo I was a bit skeptical about the whole Internet forum situation, but every day something on here makes me smile or laugh, warms my heart, or gives me a new perspective to consider. even the sometimes obnoxious arguing is okay because deep down I think you're all pretty much good people who just love music.
so, thanks for welcoming me into the inforoo community. when my friends think I'm crazy for obsessing over shows and festivals or my grandmother says "I don't know why you go to that boon-a-roo anyway", it's nice to know I can come back to a place where people get it. that's all. carry on
Read this on a Feminist facebook page I follow and it struck me how little we know about women's bodies. So through the comments I saw a few books and this was one of them intimateartscenter.com/shop/the-book-womens-anatomy-of-arousal/ I purchased it and the more I read it the more I realize that we are taught so much about men's bodies and how to please them and jack shit about women's bodies and how to please women. I think I may want to finish my nursing degree after all and teach more sex ed classes than I have been.

"I'm a 24 year old sexually active woman who is unmarried but have kept the same wonderful man for 5 years. I just found something out the other day that completely blew my mind and I didn't know if you, or if women in general knew, that their clit gets erect. Some are smaller, some are bigger and some get so erect that their clit will escape their vulva. Have you heard of this?? I've tried googling images, but I just don't see anything other than a bunch of penises or clitoral removing images (Those made me feel sick).
Why didn't I know this?? Why aren't there images?? Why wasn't this covered in health class? Why do I feel uncomfortable about it?? And lastly, why doesn't porn show clitoral erections?"
Because pornography is almost totally male escapist fantasy and clitoral erections would do nothing to satisfy that fantasy? You have to remember that this is also a world where the female orgasm is like a locked door in that if you beat on it long enough, it's bound to open.
Does anyone have any experience with a store called 2nd and Charles? The Books A Million down the road from my house closed a few months ago, and has been turned into one of these. Seems like they would dabble in all sorts of things I'm interested in selling/buying, but does anyone have any firsthand experience with one of these places?
