Long term arrangements

[sambuca]

Well, sure, but Ike would be a Democrat today. Like most intelligent Republicans (From, Will, Schmidt, Kristol, Gerson, Boot, Rubin, etc, etc.) he'd be horrified at what has become of his party.

Rumple, do you really know politics and history or do you just make stuff up that sounds good?

Ike was very vigilant against illegal immigration. He launched the largest mass deportation in our history.

Hell, I reckon that if Ike was President today we wouldn't just have a "wall", it would be built a hundred miles inside Mexican territory. I hate to think what would happen if Patton was also alive.

Not to mention what would JFK say if her were alive today about the Democratic-Socialist party? JFK put a man on the moon and Obama put a man in the women's bathroom.

I did some racial profiling on new Seeking registrants in my zone who came up on my filtered search in the last 4 days. The breakdown, by Seeking racial profiling classifications:

17 Caucasian/White 44.7%
8 Latina/Hispanic 21%
7 African American/Black 18.4%
4 Asian 10.5%
2 Mixed 5.2%

38 TOTAL NEW REGISTRANTS IN EB FILTERED SEARCH IN SEARCH ZONE (WITHIN 50 MILES OF A CONNECTICUT CITY)

Now I tested that same filtered search in the Cosmopolitan mecca known as Montreal, in the past week (searching only Montreal proper and not surrounding area).

36 Caucasian/White 61%
7 Latina/Hispanic 11.8%
7 Mixed 11.8%
4 Black/African 6.7%
4 Other 6.7%
1 Middle Eastern 1.6%
0 Asian 0%

59 TOTAL NEW REGISTRANTS LAST WEEK IN MONTREAL PROPER ZONE OF EB FILTERED SEARCH

The stats show that in the CT zone, whites are a smaller percentage than they are in the Montreal proper zone, where they have a statistical majority. Really shocking was not a single Asian SB signed up in the last week in Montreal zone for my filtered search. Also 4 girls identifying as other in Montreal, none in CT.

Post an ugly picture (not necessarily of yourself) and write that you are a busy person over 50 who isn't interested in a lots of discussion and doesn't like to go out much. The ones who contact you will be pros.

 

[EagerBeaver]

There are easy ways to write your profile to attract pros while also not drawing the scrutiny of the Seeking Mods or LE that might be on the board. AV suggested one method, another is to check off the following in "What I Am Seeking":

Friends With Benefits
Discretion

Those two more than the other Seeking tags label you as a P4P aficionado, although never use the term "pay for play" on SA. Some of the more savvy young college girls will use terms like "play" and "play time" or "private time" in messaging. Be real careful and avoid any detailed messages using such terms and save that for in person, or you will end up banned. Discretion is the better part of valor.

Eager ask the next feminist prosecutor you meet what she thinks of sugar daddies. Then ask her what she would think of you if, purely hypothetically of course, you told her that you are an enthusiastic client of sugar babies...not to mention escorts. Go ahead Eager! Ask and then let us know how that went. :lol:

Must admit that I almost laugh out loud every time I hear you railing about feminists. I've come to know somewhere just shy of 20 working girls in my time in Montreal and each and every one of them (including my SB of 2 1/2 years) considers herself a feminist and considers her work liberating.

I dare say that if you eliminate the feminists from the "hobby" the ranks would shrink drastically. You can thank feminism for the pleasure you gain from your forays to Montreal.

The myth about arrangements costing lots more time and money than professional escorts comes up over and over again. I think some guys keep mentioning this because they either cannot or don't want to try an arrangement.

My girl and I are together some 10 hours a week. Probably works out to some $50-60 per hour. Except when she spend the night. Then it's less. Except when we go on ten day trip to London or Berlin, then it's considerably less.

You talking about the same socialist JFK who started us on the road to Medicare and Medicaid a job he would have finished had he lived, a job finished by the socialist LBJ, who also gave us the voting rights act and the civil rights bill and would be remembered as one of our greatest presidents were it not for Vietnam. I'm talking about the same Medicare and Medicaid that your libertarian heroes Ryan and Paul would like to eliminate in favor of bigger tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy.

Ike was very vigilant against illegal immigration. He launched the largest mass deportation in our history.

No, I'm talking about the Ike who warned us against the corporate/military takeover of our government, a job now complete. BTW, did Ike deport more than Obama? I doubt it.

I believe Ike referred to this as the "military industrial complex." What these posters do not understand is the perpetuation of the complex by the Republicans themselves, something my father in his Young Republicans career spoke out against. In particular, if you are a Republican who hopes for reelection in any of numerous states in the USA, you have to bring federal jobs and federal money into your jurisdiction, or you do not get re-elected. Period. The way that this gets accomplished by the devious Republican politician who rails against government spending is to lobby quietly for federal contracts to purchase weapons and weapons systems, bombs, attack helicopters, tanks, and other tools of war from the military industrial complex existing in his or her jurisdiction. Right in my own State of Connecticut, Sikorsky Aircraft makes the Black Hawk Helicopters, Electric Boat is making all kinds of shit for the Navy, and in Rhode Island Raytheon has a massive business and an army of engineers making weapons systems for a war that may or may not come. At this point, if it does come, we will all be dead anyway, because when you come right down to it there is no way to prevent every bad guy in the word from possessing WMD. But a lot of people work for these companies and any cut in federal spending is a cut in votes for the politicians who are viewed as Guardians of those jobs, including many Republicans.

The real question is whether the traditional military industrial complex's percentage of federal spending is warranted in today's world, in light of other methods of attack on the USA (IT, hacking) that other countries are now shifting to, notably Russia. Perhaps in the future spending goes to IT companies for security.

I think Ike hated the military industrial complex not for the severe pork barrel spending it bred, but because as a former general he resented the growing political influence of the corporate Geeks who made the toys of the US Army.

Anyway this is way off topic from the subject of arrangements. I personally do not believe Seeking is facing any threats because they have already been proactive in making protective changes, including most notably their own corporate name.

Of course they will "consider themselves feminists." They have been educated since birth to believe that feminism simply means "equal rights," "equal pay," "freedom of choice" etc. Those are values that all enlightened women and men believe in, including even me. :lol:

However, when I "rail about feminists" (and I do), I'm railing against contemporary feminism and not the feminism of my younger days. The feminism of today is sometimes characterized as "third wave" (and now "fourth wave" ). It is an extreme variation of feminism that has led to various, interrelated moral panics such as those surrounding the "campus rape epidemic," the excesses of the#MeToo movement, and the equating of prostitution with sex trafficking.

Most young women are simply unaware of how feminism has evolved into an extreme ideology that is much different from its original beliefs and practices. It's not surprising that most young women these days, including those who do sex work, will call themselves feminists. They just don't know or don't want to know what that word really means these days.


Here is a small selection of mainstream Canadian feminist websites that support the abolition of prostitution.

Sorry, pal, that's just a load of horseshit. By what stretch of the imagination are these moralist sites "feminist." You want a feminist site? Here's one for you: http://anniesprinkle.org/

Feminism is about empowerment. Here's some more for your enlightenment:

Your notion of what feminism is is decidedly 19th century moralism. Here's a Tedtalk for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi_OwpNndo8

These young women that I know are waaaaay more in touch with modern feminism than you could ever hope to be. Of course, thing are certainly quite different in the deep South. The fact that some old guy thinks he has a better handle on what feminism is than do these articulate, urbane young women is quite telling...and sad...and hilarious. I'm sure they'd be quite amused to have you educate them.

A very prominent one was John Rowland, who was both a Congressmen from CT and later a long time Governor of Connecticut. He is in jail now. Joe Lierberman was a Democrat who ran as VP with Gore but later converted to Republicanism. He is rumored to be a candidate for US Ambassador to the UN. Over the years there have been various Republicans who could only get elected through pork barrel spending in their districts. Ted Stevens of Alaska probably the greatest historical example of pork barrel spending with his “Bridge to Nowhere.”

I've been wondering for the last week what price Susan Collins was paid for her dignity. A new federal building in Portland perhaps? Maybe a new submarine contract for the shipyard at Bath?

 

[EagerBeaver]

Rumples I was in Portland Old Port District this summer. I loved it. I stayed at the Portland Harbor Hotel which is the hotel to stay at in Portland- location wise and it’s also an excellent hotel. I noticed that there are lot of brick buildings there, in fact pretty much all of them in that Old Port area. I ate lobster and fresh oysters and clams all week. Portland is now pretty much without question the premiere restaurant city per capita in New England (if not the USA) and the beer capital of New England.

If Collins gets something it might be her name on a lobster roll at Eventide Oyster House. Eventide is making the premier lobster roll in Portland and I dined on one of these delicious little things as well as their house Cole Slaw which is the best I ever had in my life. They might also name a drink after Collins, perhaps the Maine Martini which is blueberry vodka with Maine Blueberries can be mixed with Brett Kavanaugh beer for the “Susan Collins special.”

Maine lobster rolls differs from their Connecticut cousins. Maine features a little mayo dressing whereas Connecticut version is a lemon butter sauce. Maine Clam chowder differs from New England clam chowder - uses roughly half the milk and cream. Only us salt of the earth New Englanders know the subtle differences in cuisine within the region.

The lobster food truck now serving Southern Connecticut has on its menu both State’s lobster rolls:

Rumples to CR: "You're an old, privileged white male!" :rant:


Your logical fallacy is ad hominen

ad hominem

You attacked your opponent's character or personal traits in an attempt to undermine their argument.

Ad hominem attacks can take the form of overtly attacking somebody, or more subtly casting doubt on their character or personal attributes as a way to discredit their argument. The result of an ad hom attack can be to undermine someone's case without actually having to engage with it.

 

[sambuca]

Stop with the Kavanaugh and Collins nonsense. The crazy Left gave it the ol' college try. It's over!

Blasey Ford's story was only minimally defensible because of the new pop credo that you have to believe a woman's allegation. Everything about her story fell apart including things that just happened this summer. You can hardly say the trauma from thirty-six years ago led her to forget that she wasn't afraid of flying, not claustrophobic and not sure what therapist's notes were turned over to the Washington Post. And none of this is being reported by 80% of the media.

It's a sad day for America that we are believing either a professional liar or a greatly disturbed woman all in the name of politics.

 

[sambuca]

A very prominent one was John Rowland, who was both a Congressmen from CT and later a long time Governor of Connecticut. He is in jail now. Joe Lieberman was a Democrat who ran as VP with Gore but later converted to Republicanism

I'm asking you which Republicans today are benefiting from the defense spending in CT and RI. Rowland hasn't been in office since 2004. Lieberman is not a Republican. He is defeated moderate Democrat.

We all go back to Tip O'Neill and Dan Rostenkowski (jailed) who were the kings of pork barrel. It's a bit of a self-indulgent political fantasy to call out the Republicans for pork barrel spending. The party that controls Congress is going to approve questionable spending.

I would have named Romney Secretary of Defense with a mandate of restructuring the military. Rumsfeld was an intellectually lazy dolt. He thought like a 1980s/90s CEO that you can just starve an organization. I think Trump wants to actually shrink the military's footprint, but the Generals and Admirals will resist. We will greatly reduce our presence next year in Afghanistan. The Generals don't have a clue. Similar to Vietnam, but the Generals learned their lesson trying to send soldiers out to control territory for fleeting moments. The Generals do like their wartime slush spending though.

PS- The US military failed to meet it's quota goal for recruiting. That's fine with me. Although the military does some great things for young and underprivileged men, I wouldn't be the first one to say that much of military recruitment is a youth jobs program.

But what about the double doors???? Ohhhhhh???? If you were felt up wouldn't you put on more doors? A storm door maybe? What a bunch of nonsense.

Back to SB. It seems to me that with all the pressure from LE and with what happened to to TER and BP, that SB is becoming more and more a way to legitimize prostitution. Look at the escorts on Eros that the Captain linked in this thread. I think the lowest cost one was 400$/hour and I wouldn't fuck half of them for free.
We have lost a lot of hobbyists from this forum with SB.

Actually, Louis, I wasn't attacking your character or personal traits. I just find it amusing to find a middle aged man telling a bunch of feminists that they aren't really feminists.

Tellya what. Next time you're in town, how about we get together with a few of my feminist friends and you can mansplain to them how they're not really feminists, how you really have a better handle than they do on what feminism really is and how their women's studies profs had it all wrong and you have it all right. Let's see how that plays out.

Beav, you may very well be right about the restaurant part of this, but not the beer. The beer capital of New England, if not the entire US, is Vermont, the entire state from Waterbury (home of The Alchemist and Heady Topper) to Greensboro (home of Hill Farmstead) to Waitsfield (home of Lawson's Finest Liquids.)

These three brewers account for six of the top fifty beers on this worldwide list. For a long time, Heady Topper topped this list.
