Rick Ross is a Piece of- Posted 11 years ago
Rick Ross. His song...

...bar none...his song is the worst of 2013. Per.i.od.

Which song am I referring to? "UOENO". It's not because he's blatantly plugging for Reebok in it. Or because I think he repeats the phrase "you ain't even know it" too much. Nor because I find the song dreary, lifeless and dull for a song about stuff you do in da club. No, no, no. That makes it bad, admittedly.

...the problem is with something from the second verse I simply cannot in good conscience not bring up. Rape.

RAPE. Not meant to shock. Not meant to be "oh, I can't believe he said that", or as a kind of joke of some kind, that would be in poor taste, yes, but at least you could sort of get the idea that Rick...

The NSA Debate Posted 11 years ago
With Greenwald getting a new job, I feel it's time for me to talk about the NSA scandal. First thing's first...I did not necessarily agree with the sentencing of Bradley Manning. Am I glad that he didn't get the 60 years the government was hoping for? Absolutely! Do I think he deserves 35? Absolutely NOT. With an appeal, he could get that time brought down to only a third. That's good.

But you might think that this means I support what Edward Snowden did. And in case you DON'T know what he did, I'll try and explain. Edward Snowden revealed the details of two government spy programs that scoop up phone and Internet communications, and a core question for many Americans has been, "are they actually listening to me"?

"The NSA specifically...

The Gun Debate Posted 11 years ago
I haven't spoken about this because...well, because I wasn't sure what to say.

But now I am. And here is what I need to say.

We need to talk about guns. We need to talk about gun control, about regulation, about how much damage guns can cause.

Before we begin, I wish to say, YES. There are other factors, like our sensationalist culture. We have a culture that places quite a big gloss on violence in Hollywood and a media that hypes up whatever controversy it can lay its hands on. Hollywood, the left, makes violence glamorous whilst the right wing makes it look patriotic. But that's only a part of the debate.

Then there's our mental health state right now. Public mental health services have had their budgets slashed. Many sanitariums and...

My New Favorites Folder-Continued Posted 13 years ago
As I had mentioned earlier, I made a folder for work that I dislike. I mean really, really dislike. I feel this work is extremely lacking, extremely inappropriate, extremely disgusting or extremely BAD, in short. If a piece of art or a story is just really, really, REALLY offensive to me or REALLY, REALLY badly written...I intend to put it in the "Work I Despise" Folder.

But, and this is a BIG but, I know a lot of you here on the forum LOVE big butts... (That is my one and only joke to lighten the mood)

I am going to be fair about this. I want to explain the criteria for why I'm putting things in this folder. It has more to do with common literary complaints which are easily fixed rather than vore-related complaints, although they can fit together....

My New Favorites Folder Posted 13 years ago
Some might have noticed that I've been faving a lot of work lately. There's a reason for that.

I actually despise it. I think said work sums up everything I hate about Vore and all that goes with it. I dislike the characters within, I hate the protagonists, I think it's stupid, immoral, cruel or just plain FUCKED UP.

So if I really, REALLY think your work deserves it...it goes into my "Work I Actually Despise" folder. And I really hope I don't see any others that deserve going in. I was tempted to chuck every single "child vore" piece in but that'd take too damn long and all you need to know is that I despise the cruel treatment of children and think those that put them in danger or put them to death in stories do a cheap, cruel...

About Me Posted 13 years ago
Self-hating? Possibly. I have enough guilt in me to put the average Catholic to shame. But what I am, first and foremost of all, is a writer. For me, the story comes before anything else.

For me, those within these tales are more real than the people I pass by on the freeway or the mall.

As such, what I write matters. I apologize if I come off as preachy, but the messages and morals in my tales matter a lot, and I feel this is a place that needs to be constantly reminded of that which is right and that which is wrong...mostly for the benefit of those who I am worried might get TOO into vore, and also partly a reminder for myself, so that I never step over the edge, or that if I DO step, I end up stepping right back.

I'm not entirely...
