The Story of the Story of O. June 15, 2011. Story of O shocked readers worldwide with its sadomasochistic love affair written in a style “too direct, too cool, to be that of a woman.” Carmela Ciuraru examines the life of. O ’s author. Via Flickr by Vectorportal. Not many authors can boast of having written a best-selling pornographic novel, much less one regarded as an erotica classic—but Pauline Réage could.

Moderates United: The other side of trauma
http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-other-side-of-trauma.html
Sunday, August 9, 2015. The other side of trauma. This is a really odd blog, isn't it? I change on a dime, with the wind- or without the wind, simply because some bunny invisible to everyone else ran across my field of vision and distracted me. C'est la me. I think I've said that before. And I look at all of us, craving love from others. Everyone you meet, you really want, on some level, love from. Most of us are so lonely. Not all: I know happy, well adjusted people exist. Who has been living my life?

Moderates United: SEFI
http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2015/08/sefi.html
Sunday, August 9, 2015. Http:/ www.ae911truth.org/news/225-news-media-events-sefi.html. Peer reviewed paper, accepted for presentation, rejected at last second for blatantly spurious reasons. In my considered view, nothing is consistent with the facts but a massive conspiracy on 9/11, and thereafter, which continues to this very day. At least hundreds of people must know something. Why do they say nothing? That's a quite valid hypothesis, but belief seems more likely. What do they believe in? You have to...

Moderates United: Don't Try Suicide
http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2015/08/dont-try-suicide.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? I was drinking when I posted this. My intent was not so much to communicate the idea, as the song, which I had not heard and really enjoyed. Fredd ie Mercury (real name Farrokh Bulsara) had an amazing voice. Did you know he was a Parsi by birth, and raised in the Sultanate of Zanzibar (now Tanzania)? I think most people now know Brian May became an astrophysicist. I found this funny:. May appeared on the 700th episode of. The Sky at Night. Donald Tru...

The Threat of Safe Spaces | Confessions Of an Idiot
https://confessionsofanidiot.com/2016/11/30/the-threat-of-safe-spaces
Confessions Of an Idiot. The Threat of Safe Spaces. November 30, 2016. How are we adequately preparing future generations when we strip them of this environment? What lessons are we reinforcing when they are told it is ok to turn away, to actively avoid adversity, hardship, opposing ideas, discourse and failure, only to seek a location where they can take a time out? Where are the safe spaces outside of academia? I am not claiming they shouldn’t exist, I am merely stating that I cannot think of a single ...

Moderates United: Excuses
http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2015/08/excuses.html
Monday, August 3, 2015. I myself have had an enormous amount of painful growth I have endured, and continue to endure. I get pain better than most. But I dream of a day when no matter what somebody comes to me with, I can say I FEEL THAT. I have been there. And there is another side. You can get through it. I did. And I think this is fucking great, because it makes me USEFUL. I crawled on my hands and knees a thousand miles, and I got to the other side. Edit: you know, it is pointless to compare miseries...

Moderates United: LoFo's
http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2015/08/lofos.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. I read this morning about the latest kick in the balls to the law and the principles of transparency and accountability: http:/ www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/aug/5/obama-stonewalls-seal-team-6-extortion-17-helicopt/. It seems like a week does not go by without some new news of Obama saying some form of FUCK YOU to the American people, our system, and the very idea that there should be any restrictions on his freedom of action. Certainly, with the passage of years, one can se...

Moderates United: Freedom
http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2015/08/freedom.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. You know, we are animals, in part. It is our ability to think, to weigh options, to invoke principles and heuristics, to foresee, which makes us different. Thus, it is only in making decisions, in choosing courses of action- for reasons, which are some combination of intellectual or emotional or intuitive- that we rise above our animal nature. To be in a herd is to feel safe, to feel protected. That is the image, the feeling, that I get. Posted by White Dog. Where I am trying the...

Moderates United: Political Correctness
http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2015/08/political-correctness.html
Sunday, August 9, 2015. It occurs to me that PC is precisely bigotry directed at white males, particularly WASP's. It is OK to treat "them" as a monolithic group, and direct all forms of derision, mockery, prejudice and hate at them, in the abstract, in a process morphologically identical to those subsumed under the terms of racism, sexism, and classism. This is what Jon Stewart did every night. Posted by White Dog. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is the counterpart to my website. Where I am try...

Moderates United: 9/11 Truth
http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2015/08/911-truth.html
Sunday, August 9, 2015. I have been going back and forth with some silly people, but the way I work is that these sorts of things always energize and engage me, and my understanding grows and develops, even when dealing with idiots, or- as appears to be the case here- volunteer or paid propagandists. Anyway, I became aware that there are many 9/11 Truth groups out there. The one that caught my attention was Military Officers for 9/11 Truth: http:/ www.mo911truth.org/. In my first position paper, titled.
