    too bad mate; if you're not getting what you are looking for, look elsewhere.

    It's not just guys either, if people aren't getting what they want they face their own internal pressure to get sorted. Easier when you are single. When you get involved, particularly marriage, dis-entagling your life is much harder. Invariably you will "love" your partner but they will probably be 90% of what you're looking for (unless you're some lucky person) so what you gonna do ? I've had a partner cheat on me because we weren't getting on in the bedroom for a while and she needed some action. Taught me the valuable lesson : you snooze; you lose.

    If she wriggles out of it, use better knots.

    But seriously, and this will sound a bit daytime TV but it's true : talking is the key, and not just when you're aroused. Make sure you empasize that it's her in the lingerie, not just the lingerie that will help. Ask her what things she would like from you, you might be pleasantly surprised. It can be emotionally challenging but it's better than being caught with your trousers down, up to your nuts in her best friend who's dressed as a french maid!

    Its not emotional problems, it is just a plain fact that if you can't write a filter to change incoming html to suit your preferences you are lame, it is almost a definition of lameness.

    and any virus of any discription[sic]

    If you had any sense you'd notice that the "virus" in question was written by anti-virus people as a way to demonstrate a vulnerability of the w64 platform.

    Do you find road car crash tests equally repugnant?

    One could always hypothesise about how much we may or may not have developed programming code without having to spend money on prevention of these exploits.

    As long as there are systems there will be exploits; be it computers, social security, passports, education - such is the way of the dragon.

    Not at all, moderation only reflects on the post, not the poster. If I worried about karma I wouldn't be myself. Posting crap anonymously gives people the wrong impression of you , should they read your posting history.

    you'd ask them when.

    In other places, farmers are not allowed to grow the foods they want to and sell them at whatever price they want.

    We call this place the European Free Trade Area. Farmers are paid to *not* grow food and food is destroyed to stablise prices. OTOH world's largest retail chain Wal-Mart, a non EU company, using it's buying power to dictate (i.e. lower) the wholesale price if it's food supplies. What a complete fuck up. Rich landowners are paid by the taxpayers to have their land lie fallow and those that grow get screwed on the price.

    There is a political malcontent being stirred up in the center-right press about the cost of East Europeans gaining access to the social security of the EU as though it will bleed our economy dry. Yet these payments are dwarfed by the payouts in farming subsidy ($6bn of which go to 5 people - yes individuals like the Duke of Westminster!) a subject on which they stay quiet (no surprise).
