It's Me And My Unborn Fetal Tissue Against The World
As quoted from an AP news source: "A pregnant woman in Phoenix, Arizona is staging a personal protest after she was ticketed for driving in the carpool lane during restricted hours."

Let me digress for a moment: At the conclusion of Roe v. Wade, the Uniform Abortion Act which had allowed for abortion up to a certain gestational point at 20 weeks, and enacted to form strict guidelines as to when and how an abortion might be sanctioned against retaliation from any existing State laws, was repealed. The repeals were based on numerous arguments centered around arbitrary opinions as to just exactly when fetal tissue becomes a human being.

"In the matter of abortions, as of any other medical procedure, the Judicial Council becomes involved whenever there is alleged violation of the Principles of Medical Ethics as established by the House of Delegates."

40 "UNIFORM ABORTION ACT:
"SECTION 1. [Abortion Defined; When Authorized.]

"(a) 'Abortion' means the termination of human pregnancy with an intention other than to produce a live birth or to remove a dead fetus.

"(b) An abortion may be performed in this state only if it is performed:

"(1) by a physician licensed to practice medicine [or osteopathy] in this state or by a physician practicing medicine [or osteopathy] in the employ of the government of the United States or of this state, [and the abortion is performed [in the physician's office or in a medical clinic, or] in a hospital approved by the [Department of Health] or operated by the United States, this state, or any department, agency, or political subdivision of either;] or by a female upon herself upon the advice of the physician; and

"(2) within [20] weeks after the commencement of the pregnancy [or after [20] weeks only if the physician has reasonable cause to believe (i) there is a substantial risk that continuance of the pregnancy would endanger the life of the mother or would gravely impair the physical or mental health of the mother, (ii) that the child would be born with grave physical or mental defect, or (iii) that the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, or illicit intercourse with a girl under the age of 16 years].

"SECTION 2. [Penalty.] Any person who performs or procures an abortion other than authorized by this Act is guilty of a [felony] and, upon conviction thereof, may be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding [$ 1,000] or to imprisonment [in the state penitentiary] not exceeding [5 years], or both.

"SECTION 3. [Uniformity of Interpretation.] This Act shall be construed to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law with respect to the subject of this Act among those states which enact it.

"SECTION 4. [Short Title.] This Act may be cited as the Uniform Abortion Act."

Since the repeal of the Uniform Abortion Act, attempts have been argued incessantly over the past three decades to justify a "woman's right to choose" over and above anything construed as "uniform, defined, and clear-cut." The fetal tissue arguably never becomes a human being until it can scream or cry. Yet even then it is questionable. The woman's choice regarding when life begins truly falls to whatever is most convenient at any given moment, as women have the uncanny ability to change their minds twenty times per day and redefine female-logic via their Midol dosage instructions. Interestingly, Pro-Choice groups (which are predominantly female) probably won't regard a woman's desire to "choose" using her fetal tissue as qualification of her right to drive in HOV lanes during restricted rush hours.

I base this on the uproar among Pro-Choice groups who denounced CA prosecutors' determination in charging Scott Peterson with second-degree murder of his unborn fetal tissue, whom the Rosch family named Connor. Such a conviction, they argued, threatened the precedent in the repeal of certain articles in the Uniform Abortion Act following Roe v. Wade..... which wasn't centered so much around "a woman's right to choose," as it was more regarding "a woman's right to choose when she can change her mind about the choice, especially when convenience is involved." So I ask this........ if pregnant women wind up with a valid right to use the HOV lanes during restricted rush hours, does it still apply if they are driving to an abortion clinic?

I'm going to buy a box of Midol and check the PMS indemnity-protection-clause on the dosage instructions regarding the mental instability of women. Personally, I don't think women's voices ought to be heard on political mandates. And maybe men should finally just take up arms and go to war over it. You know, before some woman changes her mind about the Constitutional amendment regarding the right to bear arms.

On the other hand, I considered rallying with the pregnant chick in her protest of being cited for driving in the HOV lanes. For I believe, technically, that I have a small country of under-developed people in my balls...... and I too, feel overly qualified to use the restricted lanes.

Ten Reasons Why I Hate Christmas
The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights... "want(s) an apology (from Wal-Mart) for insulting Christians by effectively banning Christmas and b) a withdrawal of its insane statement regarding the origins of Christmas and c) a revision on its website," as quoted from an AP news source.


10. The Pagan origins of the holiday predate Christianity, and have nothing at all to do with the birth of the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua. Wal-Mart should not be expected to capitulate to anyone, whether Atheist, Christian, Jew or Muslim. Wal-Mart is a fucking discount store, not a basilica shrine dedicated to dispensing communion wafers to imbeciles who cannot tell the difference.

9. Christians cannot decide whether Christmas is religious or secular, but are quick to label anyone as "blasphemous" for rejecting any aspect of the holiday. Let's have another Inquistion.

8. The Christmas Tree is a flagrant abusive waste of a good tree, which serves as an ornament-holder until it withers and dries, and then is discarded into trash dumpsters.

7. The God of Abraham does not have a mortal mother named Mary; nor is God an eternal infant in a wooden creche.

6. Santa Claus is a Catholic-whitewashed blending of pagan myth and lore that predates Rome's tyrannical religious disease.

5. People's Holiday Spirit and Good Cheer are steeped in vicious hypocrisy and denial. To test this, try vying for a parking space close to the mall entrance any day two weeks prior to the holiday. Better yet, take a job as a retail clerk and enjoy being the target of holiday shoppers' verbal abuses and assaults.

4. I give a gift every year to some tactless relative or in-law who asks for the sales receipt so the gift they got can be returned for a cash refund.

3. I get a gift every year from some tactless relative or in-law who shops at the most expensive department store and leaves the price tag on the gift.

2. The Christmas Ham. Swine. How appropriately fitting a tradition.

1. The Magic of childhood Christmases never comes back. And I am surrounded by disgruntled grownups, political right & left, and religious morons who believe they have a constitutional right to rape whatever might be left of that magic for the children of the next generation.


"The dispute erupted after a Wal-Mart worker responded to a woman who complained that the company was replacing 'Merry Christmas' with 'Happy Holidays.' The response described Christmas as a combination of world traditions from Siberian shamanism to Visigoth calendars," says the AP news source. "The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights has gone on to demand a boycott of Wal-Mart, and also the clerk in question has since been fired by Wal-Mart."

Interestingly, the conduct of the bitch who put some poor, underpaid Wal-Mart clerk on the spot with her nagging and pointless complaints, needs to be re-examined by The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, for her religious hypocrisy could use a little dose of humility and self-flagellation. Inquistion-style conversions are just not appropriate in the world of commerce, where the Almighty Dollar is the one and only God.

As a devout Capitalist, I find The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights group to be both flagrant and offensive in their haste to support the misconduct of a loud-mouthed holiday shopper who blatantly and verbally abused a Wal-Mart clerk. Folks, this is Economic Terrorism. And the scapegoat clerk -- there's your crucified Jesus. "Whatever you have done to the least of these, My brethren, you have done it unto Me."

So, in the wise and immortal words of Mr. (now Ms.) Garrison -- "Merry Fucking Christmas!" And for those who feel alienated, offended, and left out -- Happy Fucking Holidays!

Let Me Count My Convictions
Outlaw Times Edition #516
"...but my key point stands. When people agree with the fate of their character you others need to keep your noses out of their mun's choices."

- If only Silver's convictions matched everything else she says........ -
.....................................................

"A lot often ask why I never print good RP. Because I never get sent any good RP stuff."

- Could've sworn in the last issue, Silver gave us some "good stuff," and even played at least two of the raiders herself. ::Chuckle:: So if it wasn't "sent" to Silver, that can only mean the log snip was completely fabricated. -

***Why Are Slaves Using Registered Dice?***
SV Carnal Rage: Reaching up he grabs the fist and squeezes, hard, then twists the hell out of his arm.
OnlineHost: SV Carnal Rage rolled 2 23-sided dice: 23 12

"What is going on here? They go from 2D21 up to 2D23 now. Unregistered Warriors use 2D22, why are slaves getting dice above Unregistered Warriors? This has nothing to do with the books of Gor, it is the guidelines that this violates. Why should Unregistered Warriors be given a disadvantage when fighting Unregistered slaves?"

- Hmm....... I think if all logic fails you, Silver...... you need to stand by those convictions of yours. Remember? ("...When people agree with the fate of their character you others need to keep your noses out of their mun's choices.")
.....................................................

"***For You Slander Fans***
"Some of you people feel I slander when I am simply informing so here is some slandering for you folks that disagree with my ways. Unfortunately there isn't any slander involved here. (regarding XYZ-SN)
The reports I am getting on this man isn't good ones. One report is that he tried to pretend to be a mun of whom he wasn't. When asked to prove it he blocked them and moved to next victim. Other reports is this man is IMing FW and asking them to have sex with them. Good news is, if your the type of woman that comes here to cyber you can IM this man and get together. Since it seems he is only here for the perversion. Oh yeah, another report was something about him wanting to watch a woman and man have sex. I guess he wanted his hands to be free for other things."

- I dunno, Silver. Sounds a little iffy...... but again, remember your convictions, hmm? ("... keep your noses out of their mun's choices.")
.....................................................

"But I still find it odd to pull a man's rights to Proctor just because of his view points. Being honest with ones thoughts don't make them dishonest in counting points."

- Right...... it just makes them disney, realmer, and mun-consenting. One Die muahahaha! Two Dice muahahaha! Three Dice muahahaha! I am ze Count! Muahahahahaaaa! -

It's all in the wrist, and how long your.... sentence.... is!
SilverEspirit Blurbs from # 513, #514 & #515

"It takes more RP to RP cooking your own food, tea, blackwines and such than it does to RP buying it from a Disney Vender (sic)."

- ::Chuckle:: I can't tell you how many times I'm just dying to get online..... so I can RP food prep! Yippeee! -
.................................

"i only RP with people who know how to write. that means you're able to put a world of ideas, detail, and imagination into a single sentence. anyone can write 6 paragraphs and describe something. it takes a good writer to describe the same thing in one paragraph. so anyone who wants a book written to them for roleplay, just head on out with the other very bad writers. less is more, look it up."

- And damn that Norman guy for writing 25 books, with chapters and everything!! Geez! -
.............................................

***Isn't Save To Expose Oneself to Redicule*** (#515)

- Uhhh.... what? -
..............................


"I picture a Cherokee man standing on the side of the highway with a tear rolling down his cheek. Most of you know why. When we as humans litter it shows we lack Pride in our Land. We lack the ability to care for mother nature. We often litter each day. Too lazy to find a trash can. But Gorean's are not like this, these are a proud people. They are like that Native American man that cries. They take care of their lands, of the things they possess, the properties they own. So when are you going to RP a true Gorean character? When will you stop tossing the vessels just anywhere, RPing tossing trash around? Perhaps your not good enough to RP a proud Gor character. Perhaps your earth habit of not caring where you toss your trash is affecting your RP skills. At least try to RP realistic characters folks."

- And get all that damn trash picked up in one sentence, goddammit!! -
..................................

***Real Threats, Should We Ignore?*** (From # 514)
xxxA: ::pulling hard on the four strap, seeing two smallish figures below, he sets his tarn into a furious dive, tarn loop removed from his saddle and extended out, pulling the one and leveling off, streaking overhead, aiming for the kajiira that moves towards the path, dropping the loop over her as his tarn screams it's presence::

"So the scene opens up with a man trying to capture a slave. This occurs at the "Cliffs."

- Do all the commas make it seem like he's trying to cheat by sneaking a whole lot of sentences into just one? -

xxxC: (( I really...really don't want her stolen...but if you want to role play this encounter out without dice...that will be fine...I can have her wiggle free over the trees or something...))

"We can all understand not wanting our characters stolen. Now the clause "without" dice sounded rather neat. That would sound like someone that won't mind being stolen."

- Nah.... I think her dice were confiscated by the Indian Affairs Gaming Council because they look too much like litter all over the ground on Gor. ::Has never seen anyone pick up their dice after throwing them, and Silver should point this out to people, goddammit!:: -

xxxA : then stay off the cliffs...because that is the poorest form of RP here...and I had heard you were a better player than that

"Tell you something about xxxA. He isn't that bad of a guy from what I understand. But I think the slave totally failed to realize the point he was making."

-Nah.... she just writes too many paragraphs! -

xxxC: I thank you for this ...and it may be a poor form of role play to you...but I will not have my character stolen by someone I do not know. There are too many idiots out there...and I am not saying you are an idiot...I am saying that this is a game...and I like playing this game a certain way...and until I know you play the game the same way I do...I will not subject myself to time spent here when I am not enjoying it.

"Lets see if I can explain it better. He isn't calling this slave a poor RPer. He is saying that any slave going to the cliffs should be ready to be stolen. Folks the Cliffs, Hot Springs and Waterfalls are getting more and more dangerous. If you don't want to be stolen then you may need to stop going there."

- Yeah, let's put up a Stop Sign and a traffic control officer.... with a nice Silver badge. ::Chuckle:: By the way, do you think if the fellow has too many dice filling up his tarn saddle bags, there'll be any room for a slave who writes too many paragraphs? -

xxxC: I am sure you believe so...but after the 15th or 16th time of someone stealing a character...and then vanishing...or role playing completely ungorean things...I have learned to be more careful in who I play with and who I allow to steal my character. It is very simple actually. I refuse to subject myself to any play I do not know I will enjoy...and that I do not know follows my same beliefs of what Gor is about.

"And I can understand this, I would not want to be stolen by someone that never RP's. But the point here is, if you don't want to take a chance of being stolen you need to keep your slave characters in rooms that belong to your Master/Mistress's Home Stone, or one they are visiting.
I will forever declare the Cliffs, Waterfalls, Hot Springs and such as non-city rooms."

- Or, you could just say: Hey, she writes too many lines! I think I'll stick to my own intellectual breed! -

***Something To Laugh About*** (From # 515)
xxxC: ::An apperciative smile was given to her friend for not asking about it now. How moritifying that would to speak of before another free man. She would gladly wait until they were alone to speak of her shame and misery.
xxxC: The Slaver's question drew her eyes up to him, and then down to her arm. Capture, this was becoming a more common practice once again. This was refreshing, actually, men acting like men, taking what they wanted, instead of chasing
xxxC: after it and begging. Rasi answered the question, rather adequately too, so it left C's beast without words to add. Instead he was given a smile, as well as the bobbing of her head in agreement to her friends words.::

"Unless you read last issue and recall the article on this slave you won't get the joke. I'll fill you in. Last week she "the mun" consented out of an SL where someone tried to capture her. But this week she is found saying and I'll quote, 'This was refreshing, actually, men acting like men, taking what they wanted.' But this doesn't work when muns of the slaves consent and say, 'No capture SL.' Kind of hypocritical isn't it? I find it amusing. Some don't practice what they preach."

- Hmm..... Looked to me like she was just negotiating to play the scene without dice. Apparently some folks are just fucking bizarre that way. ::Chuckle:: -


***A Mass Thieving Spree*** (From # 513)
"Now here is some realistic RP at it's finest. I bring to you a group of Outlaws."

- ::Grabs the popcorn and soda:: -

Raider in Blue: ::He leads the men into the cliffs rapidly, their kaiila thundering along the path, he fires quickly into the first NPC guard he sees, killing the man outright.::

- Being led intothe cliffs..... that's gotta hurt. ::Chuckle:: Also, if this guard was NPC, did he see him with his OOC eyes, or his IC eyes?-

Raider in Black: ::I ride to Blue's left, sword drown, nearest guard loses his head, the kaiila rears and turns left and I pull out my crossbow::
Raider in Red: ::Riding to blues right Red takes out those on the right side with arrows from his bow::

"This was just one scene seen at the Cliffs. This type of events occurred at the Hot Springs and Waterfalls as well. What were they after?"

- I dunno.... I thought for a moment it was the Red Greene Show. ::Chuckle:: -

Raider in Blue: ::he leaps off his kaiila and moved to the vender, crossbow aimed at him:: You on the ground and you won't die. We are here for your coin and your merchandise.

- Silver, are you allowed to be Black & Blue at the same time? ::Chuckle:: -

Raider in Black: ::He laughed aloud as he sheaths his sword and begins to taking items worth having off of the Venders cart:: I love easy targets, these idiots that think they can make safe coin out here in middle of nowhere.
Raider in Red: ::He looks over noticing a slave girl and smiles:: Look some Master lets his slaves run wild. ::seeing her guards he lifts his bow and kills the first guard dead, he looks to the second::
Raider in Red: You ready to die over a slave?
Raider in Red: ::he walks over and grabs the slave by the back of the head::
Bensons peach: ::she screams, then begs for his mercy:: Please Master don't take me from my Master.
Raider in Red: ::smirks as he pulls her to his Kaiila:: Your Master should have thought of that before he allowed you here at the Hot Springs in middle of the forest.

"This was the average scene folks. Venders and tents at the Cliffs, Waterfalls, Hot Springs and even the Lakes were raided. The raiders seemed to fear nothing knowing there were no city guards close enough by to protect their victims. In the conquest of these Raiders it has been determined that 8 Venders and 30 warriors has been killed. They have stolen all the paga they can carry. Also missing are as far as I can tell, 12 slave girls. Two Panther Girls were killed for trying to protect the Venders."

- I notice this "RP at it's finest" consists of nothing but one-liners. Also..... if you look closer, one of them seems to have trouble negotiaing her verbs between past and present tense. Now for RP that's stripped down to just single lines..... that really narrows down the percentage field of "(putting) a world of ideas, detail, and imagination into a single sentence." ::Chuckle:: But, this is very fine RP, and since Silver pointed it out, I'm willing to bet my dice on it! She has all those "venders" (sic) to contend with, afterall. -

"That is because I am a better Gamer than most of these idiots on Gor. Bragging? Could be. But also a truth. Lead by example I keep saying to everyone. Bad problem is that most don't wish to follow."

- Well, that tells you something, don't it? -
