Thanks for the exciting link...wise guy.

Gotta love the free market. I ordered 3 of the different hot women ones for me, a specially built redhead for UTI, a gift certificate for GWN.... I asked if I could drop ship something to you, but somebody in their customer service said they had already sent 2 of their male models out last week and wanted to know if that was a mistake or not...then they reminded me to tell you the last ones you sent back had "I love Ernie" tattooed over their butts and don't expect a refund this time if you keep doing that... To each their own...Gotta love freedom. Gotta love technology. :bigjoint:
Are you kidding I cannot afford a new one.. Go build the perfect one and see the cost.. Not for the average werdo.
BTW you would have enjoyed a chat room conversation we all had on Singlesnet.com where we worked out the price of sex based on those dolls and it's on par with human sex workers over the period of a few years.
There are those of us who are very alone in this world. My best wishes to the reader if they feel alone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dsz4dB6DuM enjoy a tune on me.

I just watched that documentary again and I have to say people should watch that documentary.
About some thread some place on using them? Not my thing..
I can see how it can be classified as masturbation.
See Public Broadcasting provides us with information commercial media cannot.
Public broadcasting doesn't depend on commercial interests and can inform us in ways Commercial media is unable to because of the for profit bias that is inherent in Commercial for profit media.

As to if I would have sex with a "RealDoll" I just don't know but I can say I'd like to actually see and touch one to see if it really feels like a female human or not.
I like female humans by the way.

I also understand how people do just fine living alone. I am a hermit person myself and my weirdness is exploring the nature of information by attempting to compress dense data.
I will be working on a bijective zero over head system soon. Well when I feel ready to do more work on it.
I am okay with alone time but then I have cats for friends not a RealDoll.

I'm just not going to judge people who have realdolls as friends. Whatever.. They seem non-violent so let them be.

Kudos to PBS for allowing us a choice in what information we can access for free!

One of the pivotal moments in American history and the driving force in why we need Unions.

100 years ago today.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/general-article/triangle-shirtwaist/

A popular fashion item of the late
Fashion Institute of New York/SUNY
An advertisement for shirtwaists

19th and early 20th centuries, the shirtwaist blouse was regarded as the model shirt for the independent, working woman. A button-down blouse, the functional shirtwaist was valued for its ready-to-wear, workplace appeal and its simple design, originally modeled on menswear shirts. It could be worn jacketless and fashionably tucked into the waistband of a skirt, and it was sold as both an individual piece and as an ensemble. By the early 20th century, designers added lace and frills to embellish the iconic blouse, which was already available in every color. Articles in Vogue magazineand advertisements showed various enhancements, including elaborate details and stitching to the collars, wrist cuffs, and bodies that elevated the simple blouse to haute mode. An article written for the Pittsburgh Press on September 16, 1906, stated, "A very fashionable woman with a half a hundred waists boasts that there are no two alike." At the turn of the 20th century, production of the shirtwaist was a competitive industry. Although sold across the country, the majority of shirtwaist blouses were created in Philadelphia and New York City. In Manhattan alone, there were over 450 textile factories, employing approximately 40,000 garment workers, many of them immigrants. The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, located in the top floors of the Asch building in Greenwich Village, was one of many shirtwaist factories operating in Manhattan at the time. This boom in industry helped solidify New York's status as an industrial center and provided jobs to the thousands of immigrants that arrived daily at Ellis Island.
The shirtwaist, however, came to represent more than a momentary fashion trend; the blouse was a symbol of newfound female independence in a time of progressive ideas. With their own jobs and wages, women were no longer dependent on men and sought new privileges at home and at work. The figure of the working woman, wearing the shirtwaist blouse and freed from domestic duties, was an iconic image for the women's rights movement.

Unions are fine in the private sector. If they demand too much, and if those demands are met, then the company goes out of business.This maintains a balance between union demands and the interest of the stock holders.

On the other hand, when public employees unionize and demand too much, the government just goes further into hock and the taxpayers pay the piper. In other words, the public employee unions, along with the legislators they help to get elected, are raping the taxpayers. I say NO to public employee unions, especially if they have collective bargaining power along with the right to strike in their contracts.

I disagree Charlie.
The idea that any groups can collectively bargain isn't up for debate it is either being forcibly taken away or forcibly kept away from people.

Has there been major protests calling for the Unions to go away by the workers? Any protests where tens of thousands pour into the streets demanding that our rights be taken away?

It's insane to suggest we workers don't need protection from our Government people. In fact it is such a danger to some that at the first chance to kick the workers when they are down the GOP didn't waste any time.
I guess you can say the GOP is modernizing it's anti-people agenda er.. excuse me Pro-Business agenda.

Watch that PBS film on those woman who burned to death or jumped out windows and realize that sort of thing happen just a short time ago at a factory that made things we buy at WalMart.

Not to mention a poultry plant in the USA a few years back http://books.google.com/books?id=5rsDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA12&lpg=PA12&dq=poultry+plant+fire+%2B+locked+doors&source=bl&ots=ymNxSA3-Wy&sig=E28BKXgKMjQayjKAavbcnDcCeDE&hl=en&ei=n6WOTbPZHcuDtweW5b3JBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false

We do not learn from our mistakes when profits are involved.
If Anti-Union people can murder folks trying to earn a living then they sure can destroy the planet Earth the same way.

Charlie, the idea of whipping a man with a bull whip was legal in many states if that man was black.
If that Man was White then is was a crime and if that Man was White and the Whipper was Black it was a crime punishable by death.
Little has changed in the way of that sort of thinking. Greed is the gasoline that burns woman and children when the fire exit should have been open.

The right wing, (Business corporate fascists) want to do away with workers rights. Why?? Well it is pretty obvious, Money, and power. If corporate management had free will to rule over workers, with no safety regulations or minimum wage laws, which the republicans are at war with as we speak, life for workers would revert to the 1900s, 2.00 a day and all the poison one could endure. After all, there would be a line a mile long to work for those wages after the corporate piggies had suppressed wages to that level. All the gains unions have made since inception are under attack by republicans who with unmitigated gall say they are doing the will of the people. What people is my question? I say the will of the top 2,000 greedy millionaires and billionaires, maybe more. It is a sad time for the American worker. The right wants to disband PBS/NPR because it doesn't play to their agenda, the destruction of the American worker, sad times indeed.

The ultimate workers right is the ability to give the employer the middle finger, take your abilities and experience and go work for someone else where you will be treated better. Or start your own business and compete against your old boss. They really hate that. Example is a friend of mine who worked for an overbearing ass of a boss, he got sick and tired of bad treatment and started his own company, drove his old boss to declare bankruptcy. What better "fuck you" is there than that?
