If you know what I mean.

But seriously people, your sexual frustrations are none of our* concern. We* all know you're a cranky homosexual or a very open-minded hetrosexual (aka "bisexual") and we* don't want to hear about your sexual escapades. Unless they end in horror of course. This is a political debate forum, if you want sex talk, go to a place called sex talk.

* = different way of saying me or I.

It must be so hard on you, having that man point that gun at your head, forcing you to read everything here.

"Bisexual"?

The hell? I hate it when people do that. I hate it when people on either side seem to think that bisexuals can't possibly exist, that we're just confused or something. We do exist, you know. Contrary to your idiotic belief, bisexuality is a real fact. Just look up bonobos. Bisexuality exists, and I, like many other bisexuals, find your portrayel of us offensive.

Look chum, I've been here long before you and reading TOPICS BY SHEER ACCIDENT isn't clicking on them to examine everyone's sexual fantasies. Back then it wasn't a sex forum, it was normal chatter about nothing. Funny how you reply first.

EDIT: Read my post and then comment. "Very open minded hetrosexuals". Absorb the words of that sentence, let it sink in and then start thinking about replying. When asking a hetrosexual if he ever done a guy, and replies with "yes", is concluding he might be bisexual wrong? Or if he says, "yes, and I'm very open minded"? Concluding the same thing?

Boo Hoo.

Ever tried *not* reading the threads that don't interest you, instead of trying to diminish other's rights to post whathever they please? It's worked fine for me this far.

And this from someone who lists their "Location" as a "brown, moist hole?" Hmmm.

"Normal chatter about nothing"? So you would consider sex as something of major importance, then?

Oh, and btw, sounds as if it was mindnumbingly boring back then...

"Bisexual"?

I personally favor bisexual women. :D

you know Eut, I noticed that too, but being the lady I am didn't say anything.

I know I can always count on you :)


oh and to the OP, if you don't what to hear about something, starting a thred on it is not the best way to go about "not having to talk about it", I mean surely if you start a thred on something that will be the topic of discussion right?

Look chum, I've been here long before you and reading TOPICS BY SHEER ACCIDENT isn't clicking on them to examine everyone's sexual fantasies.

It must be so hard on you, being forced to be in a place you don't like, clicking links you know will get you upset.

Back then it wasn't a sex forum, it was normal chatter about nothing. Funny how you reply first.

"Location: Brown Moist Hole" Yeah, funny.

I personally favor bisexual women. :D
You, sir, become a better man every post of yours I see.

But seriously, I just had to rant about that. Now on to the real issue: this thread isn't about what Holy says it's about: it's about attacking Fass. He's been after him for days now, for whatever reason. Methinks he should quit it, as Fass does not deserve such debasement.

Better and more pleasant than Sweden. Oh sorry.

Oh yeah, I believe Bill Bryson said that the national hobby of Swedes is committing suicide? Is that correct?

Huh? By talking about sex on internet-forums??? :confused:

Better and more pleasant than Sweden. Oh sorry.

You won't get any argument from me - I like moist, brown holes. Such luck we have so many in this country.

Oh yeah, I believe Bill Bryson said that the national hobby of Swedes is committing suicide? Is that correct?

Nope. Sweden has quite average suicide rates.

you know Eut, I noticed that too, but being the lady I am didn't say anything.

Absolutely, lovely lady! Always! :D

I've noticed that as well, and can only say one thing: he doesn't stand a chance against Fass' acidic sarcasm. This guy is in for serious burns :p

I suspect it's his own inimitable way of coming-on to Fass! :eek:

An interesting theory. It's the old playground issue - the person you pick on the most is actually the one you secretly fancy!

Dont you have a dig at sweeden, and dont you fuck about with suicide, it is a serious issue!! :upyours:

No I went off-topic on the suicide question... Anyways, why not discuss normal subjects? There's more to life than sex. And by normal I mean, you know, normal things.

Would any of you go to work and school and say "hi! today, according to my log, I masturbated 39 times." I don't think so. Why not act here the way you act in real life, that would make NS so much more easy going.

PS: what's wrong with suicide? I try it daily but I keep failing.

If this is you acting like you do in real life, it would explain why sex isn't a normal part of it.

Simpler, yes; more fun? Hmmm! :D

Erm i would go to school and say anything bout sex i want, who is going to stop me?? and what is wrong with saying stuff about SEX, it is your fault you are uncomfotable with it not mine, so why should i shut up about it. SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX!!!!!!!

Let's see if it works :D
[ watches with horrified fascination! ] :D

Fass' sarcasm? Wow, some guy who hasn't tasted fresh air in five years can throw a "witty" remark HP's way. HP still wins, as he has a life.

What, sex isn't normal? Masturbation isn't normal? OHMYGODI'MAPARIAH!

Lighten up, dude. And if you don't want to read about it: don't. This is, after all, a general forum. Not politically general. General general. As in: we can discuss whatever we want, basically.

You think sex is not "normal"? :eek:
You never talk to anyone about it? How utterly boring...
Sure there's more to life, but I don't honestly see a shortage of political/religious/cultural/plain stupid threads. So why have a problem with the ones about sex? I don't complain about the ones about sports or music, either, even though they do bore me out of my head...

Fass' sarcasm? Wow, some guy who hasn't tasted fresh air in five years can throw a "witty" remark HP's way. HP still wins, as he has a life.

What is this - HP's asexual boyfriend coming to his aid?

Mods, IP check please. Me suspects this is Holy in disguise here. Because I highly doubt he could possibly get anyone on his side otherwise.

What is this - HP's asexual boyfriend coming to his aid?

Haha, yeah sure, if you're that immature to find that as an insult, okay then.

Anyway, I'm off soon to a party to have some fun, what are you doing? Oh yeah...staying at home. My bad.

EDIT: Yeah do check IP, because the Mods don't know Krieg is a completely different person.

sure sex isn't normal, if it was normal it wouldn't be much fun now would it?

you keep a masturbation log?



PS: what's wrong with suicide? I try it daily but I keep failing.
aww... now that's kinda sad :(

Mods, IP check please. Me suspects this is Holy in disguise here. Because I highly doubt he could possibly get anyone on his side otherwise.

I know both people, and believe me, they're not. Both online at the same time, for example, which would be impossible with a puppet.

Sex is normal in my life. Sorry to hear it isn't in yours.

If this is you acting like you do in real life, it would explain why sex isn't a normal part of it.If I was in your line of work, it'd be normal for me to talk about with my colleagues. Too bad I don't work after business hours. My business hours that is.

I hate to say it, but I'm cheating a little. I'm actually the biggest jerk in human history. At least I'm not giving away everything I've done between the sheets just to impress people. Oh, I'm a bigot now. I'm giving a "sarcastic" Swede a taste of his own "sarcasm". Apologies for offending some conservatives from Arkansas.

He's got the same style, too... Suspicous. Highly. :p

not actually. I have done it before. :eek: must.......stop.....talking........

Erm you can use a ip cloak to log in to certain forums more than once, may work on this one i dont know... as for this thread wtf sex is as normal as breathing so erm dude go get laid!!

Haha, yeah sure, if you're that immature to find that as an insult, okay then.

Anyway, I'm off soon to a party to have some fun, what are you doing? Oh yeah...staying at home. My bad.

EDIT: Yeah do check IP, because the Mods don't know Krieg is a completely different person.

Here, have a fluffle: :fluffle:

Because we all know the kids who keep trying to put others down are those who don't feel loved and hate themselves.

Fass' sarcasm? Wow, some guy who hasn't tasted fresh air in five years can throw a "witty" remark HP's way. HP still wins, as he has a life.
uh huh... He has such a raging life that he is on an internet forum bitching about how we talk about sex.

You say the forum is political? Last I heard, sex influences politics as much as anything else. And this forum is about discussion. Not politics.

What is this - HP's asexual boyfriend coming to his aid?If your boyfriend comes to your aids, we're in for a lot of trouble! Golly, I hope my mystery twin brother doesn't start heating things up with his mysteriously similar retorts!

No, we actually are different people. Anyone who matters knows this, but you're just the kind of people who sit at your computer 24/7, seeing if some politically disagreeable thread has been posted in the General forum, so you can shout about your opinion noone cares about.

And if you trick yourself into thinking you're not in this category because you aren't literally at the computer 24/7, you still fit under it.

EDIT: Sarkhaan, we aren't at parties all the time. There's always a bit of time to abuse people on the internet inbetween the fun.

Haha, yeah sure, if you're that immature to find that as an insult, okay then.

Ahahahaha. You think you're a better person than I am. Funny, that.

I'm not going to justify my actions to you. See, I, unlike you, don't give a shit what people on here think. If I'm spending time here: so what? It's my life. I'll live it how I please.

Furthermore, your argument on that standpoint is riddled with hypocrasy. You're here too, you know. OHMYGODTHATMUSTMEANYOUSPENDTIMEONHERE24/7!

The funny thing is... he seems to think he's sarcastic. How droll. :D

Fass had me on the verge of tears twice in the past, so if I was going to give marks on sarcasm, Fass would win hands down.

Erm you can use a ip cloak to log in to certain forums more than once, may work on this one i dont know... as for this thread wtf sex is as normal as breathing so erm dude go get laid!!
Heck, sex is *more* normal than breathing. I could live for a long while without breathing... at least three minutes! Can't say I could live that long while not having sex or not thinking about sex or not inserting sexual innuendo and jokes in my conversations.

Erm you can use a ip cloak to log in to certain forums more than once, may work on this one i dont know... as for this thread wtf sex is as normal as breathing so erm dude go get laid!!Have another sip of your favorite alcoholic beverage, I'm sure your reality greatly benefits from it.

If I was in your line of work, it'd be normal for me to talk about with my colleagues. Too bad I don't work after business hours. My business hours that is.

The medical profession does have weird hours, I'll grant you that. My schedule is thus very irregular.

I hate to say it, but I'm cheating a little. I'm actually the biggest jerk in human history.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I really do doubt you are all that bad. :fluffle:

At least I'm not giving away everything I've done between the sheets just to impress people.

I'm sad to hear you live among so easily impressed people that think sex is all that noteworthy. Perhaps that's your problem? You need a change of company to more mature friends?

Oh, I'm a bigot now. I'm giving a "sarcastic" Swede a taste of his own "sarcasm". Apologies for offending some conservatives from Arkansas.

That's OK.

If your boyfriend comes to your aids, we're in for a lot of trouble!
Somehow this just made me imagine a hot fourgy between Fass, his hypotetical boyfriend, Holy Panooly and Krieg :p

If your boyfriend comes to your aids, we're in for a lot of trouble! Golly, I hope my mystery twin brother doesn't start heating things up with his mysteriously similar retorts!

I don't have a boyfriend, at the moment. I'm in my middle early 20s, it's a bit early for anything serious.

Heck, sex is *more* normal than breathing. I could live for a long while without breathing... at least three minutes! Can't say I could live that long while not having sex or not thinking about sex or not inserting sexual innuendo and jokes in my conversations.
That is so true, i think it is a average of a guy thinks sex every 6 seconds... bout correct in my opinion... :D sex rocks!!

Well, you do suck quite badly for a few reasons "Kyronea", you can't even spell "hypocrisy" for one. Second, if I cared what you think, wouldn't I actually be nice to you to try get you on my side?

Third, you consider skulking about a net forum as "living". Sad.

And as for the 24/7, I was really referring to those who joined in '05/'06, and have post-counts 5000+.

seeing if some politically disagreeable thread has been posted in the General forum, so you can shout about your opinion noone cares about.
EDIT: Sarkhaan, we aren't at parties all the time. There's always a bit of time to abuse people on the internet inbetween the fun.
I find that first part ironic, since I believe that is what the OP talks about...how this is a political forum and not a general discussion one...and I'm pretty sure atleast a few people here tend to avoid the politics

And it is good to know that you can take time off from parties to come to the internet and "abuse" them. Cute, really.

I don't have a boyfriend, at the moment. I'm in my middle early 20s, it's a bit early for anything serious.
Bah, so am I, and I'm dying for something serious. To each his own, I guess.

Read your post, kind of Saarkhan. Quick gist of what you said is "yeah, he rules bad".

Thanks man.

Bah, so am I, and I'm dying for something serious. To each his own, I guess.
hey dude i cant stop thinking bout how i would be as a dad and im only 16... eeeeeeeeeeeks... but either way fass is going to pummel this guy into submission with kickass wit and i am going to laugh... but i still say sex is good... adn this guy does need to get laid...

Bah, so am I, and I'm dying for something serious. To each his own, I guess.

Hey, I know several couples my age, some even married, and it works for them. It wouldn't work for me. So, I don't see it as a bad thing if that's what you yourself want. I'm just not ready.

Somehow this just made me imagine a hot fourgy between Fass, his hypotetical boyfriend, Holy Panooly and Kreg :pI think you have some very odd fantasies my friend, consultation with a physician might be a good idea. And, pray tell me, being 20-24 and already put at work at a hospital ánd nightshifts too? I don't think the numbers add up my poor friend, since a medical education usually takes many years (given the fact that you've graduated at 17, which is the average age).

I'm not impressed, and I don't envy sad people who have an average of 21 posts per day. The fact you people had sex (which cannot be verified in any possible way, mind) kind of amazes me.

Well, you do suck quite badly for a few reasons "Kyronea", you can't even spell "hypocrisy" for one. Second, if I cared what you think, wouldn't I actually be nice to you to try get you on my side?

And as for the 24/7, I was really referring to those who joined in '05/'06, and have post-counts 5000+.
My apologies. I'm sorry my mispelling of hypocrisy offends you so dearly.

And actually, the only real reason I'm on here is that I'm waiting for my girlfriend to call me back so we can arrange the right time to go out on our date. But then, you wouldn't know anything about that. Or maybe you would, and you're just trying idiotic ploys to get me to try to justify myself to you. I don't know which one it is, but whatever.

Kyro-whatever, stop lying. You don't have a girlfriend, you can't afford batteries and your right hand has a nasty rash. Stop pretending you're someone, because you aren't.

Deal?

So I rule then? Thanks!

Haha, yeah sure, if you're that immature to find that as an insult, okay then.

Well, I do somewhat find asexuality a bit disturbing.

Anyway, I'm off soon to a party to have some fun, what are you doing?

I hope you have fun. :)

Oh yeah...staying at home. My bad.

Laundry night is a bitch, but it needs to be done. Having a maid do it would be so bourgeois.

I think you have some very odd fantasies my friend, consultation with a physician might be a good idea.
No, I'm good. Just a perfectly healthy and sexually developped young man of homosexual orientation. I'm sure my doctor would agree.


And, pray tell me, being 20-24 and already put at work at a hospital ánd nightshifts too? I don't think the numbers add up my poor friend, since a medical education usually takes many years (given the fact that you've graduated at 17, which is the average age).

I'm not Fass, you know. He's over there *points*

Kyro-whatever, stop lying. You don't have a girlfriend, you can't afford batteries and your right hand has a nasty rash. Stop pretending you're someone, because you aren't.

Deal?

Getting banned for flaming and troling all the time would be a way of keeping your post count low, I guess. :p

Well, I do somewhat find asexuality a bit disturbing.

I have an asexual friend. They're just as fun to be around as anyone else... just not as fun having one for a girl/boyfriend, I guess.

Read your post, kind of Saarkhan. Quick gist of what you said is "yeah, he rules bad".

Thanks man.
If I could even make sense out of what you are trying to get at, I would probably do what you say.

I do find it ironic, however, that in the same thread that you berate someone for misspelling "hypocracy", you misspell both my name, and fail to even fully type out another, despite the fact that they are listed a mere what...six inches below where you type.

asexual people have a "history"

And, pray tell me, being 20-24 and already put at work at a hospital ánd nightshifts too? I don't think the numbers add up my poor friend, since a medical education usually takes many years (given the fact that you've graduated at 17, which is the average age).

You need to learn how to respond to the proper person. You do know that medical studies become almost purely clinical after a few years, no?

I'm not impressed, and I don't envy sad people who have an average of 21 posts per day. The fact you people had sex (which cannot be verified in any possible way, mind) kind of amazes me.

I'm glad to hear that. It's really not that hard, finding someone to have sex with if you're a guy looking for guys. There's always someone out there who's up for a shag.

HP still wins, as he has a life.

People on NS have lives?!? :eek:

Suppose 18 years as graduation.

19-23: university

24: start working.

People on NS have lives?!? :eek:

Nah, they just go to other places when there aren't any good threads on NS. Like work and school and that. They don't really have lives. Honest.

I have an asexual friend. They're just as fun to be around as anyone else... just not as fun having one for a girl/boyfriend, I guess.

I don't believe all that much in it, but if that's what they say they are, so be it. It's just something I'd never wish upon anyone. No offence.

Suppose 18 years as graduation.

19-23: university

Isn't med school like graduate school? You don't finish until you are like 26 and even then you are only an intern or something. Have to work a LONG time to get any responsibilites.

Could be wrong though, only time I see anything medical is from watching Scrubs. :D

asexual people have a "history"
What the spoon are you talking about?

People on NS have lives?!? :eek:
Nah, he's pulling your leg ;)

Just like every other kind of people.

Kyro-whatever, stop lying. You don't have a girlfriend, you can't afford batteries and your right hand has a nasty rash. Stop pretending you're someone, because you aren't.

Deal?
No. Because I am someone. You are also someone. We're all people. What we choose to do with our lives should not determine our "worth." What is worth, anyway, other than that which we percieve?

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going out on my date.

I don't believe all that much in it, but if that's what they say they are, so be it. It's just something I'd never wish upon anyone. No offence.
Heh, me neither, but then again I don't get heterosexuality either.

And, who am I to force her to realize just how fun sex is?

Our system here is different, but it sort of goes like this: 18-19 - 21-22, theoretical medicine. 22-25, clinical medicine, during which you basically work as a "doctor," but as you said, have no outright responsibilities, apart from learning. That is however a truth with modification, as we get used as cheap (read: free) labour a lot - doing what our supervisors think is boring, like regular exams, and ordering tests, turfing patients to other wards, paper work... I'm not complaining - I'm learning a lot about how hospitals work that way, and am getting tonnes of experience.

I also work as a nurse when I can to earn a little extra money.

That sounds like a hell of a lot to fit into 24 hours? How do you get time for, well, anything?

not all that different from here...particularly the bolded part. Does Sweden have a law about how many hours an intern can work the floor, by any chance?

not all that different from here...particularly the bolded part. Does Sweden have a law about how many hours an intern can work the floor, by any chance?

There is an EU directive that we haven't implemented yet, but Swedish domestic law is quite flexible, as long as you get break periods and such... and it's really never all that obscenely much, so I haven't heard of anyone bitching to authorities, exactly. Although, it is seen as poor show if you did...

I know the US finally implimented one because interns were falling asleep on the job and things like that...my dad was one before the law was passed, and said if you complained, that was fine. They would just make sure to work you like a horse and still make sure you had to do another year of it by failing you.

That sounds like a hell of a lot to fit into 24 hours? How do you get time for, well, anything?

Planning, and multitasking. At the moment I'm doing the laundry, posting here, reading an article about prostate cancer, sending e-mails to the other members of the board, of which I am part, of the local Medical Student Association, and paying bills. :\

Heh. That's kind of how it goes. ;) Here, the hospitals are run by the government, so it would be weird if they failed you for running to the government, but you would probably face difficulties with the staff nevertheless.

haha...ah yes, I forgot that you have government run healthcare over there... I guess it used to be almost like a hazing ritual...if you could survive internship, you can survive anything kinda thing.

My dad did used to enjoy saying his pay for 2 weeks, skip a few meals, and be able to take his date out to a movie (only if they went dutch...otherwise he had to skip alot of meals:p )
