I can't take this anymore. It's been building for awhile now, and has really pressured me into making this decision.

I just want you to know, there's many of you here that I like alot, and I'm sorry that I have to do this.

Please forgive me.

Goodbye everyone.

Today, I love.......

Ken's Pen.




Who know's who it will be tomorrow......it COULD be YOU!

Ok..this isn't so much about being angry and I wasn't sure where to put this thread...Entertainment? Nah...I didn't think so either.


Mr. JIMMYSNUKA is running around saying I am a thief because his AIM name and my name
are somewhat identical. He is Lunatic0495 and I am LunaBabe(OA).

I state that I have been a Luna since 1998. He states he was a Luna first.

SNUKA, what are we gonna do about this? :clueless:

The revolution is coming. The abuse of power has gone on long enough. This is suppossed to be a place for the people, but are the people represented? No! Are the people given a voice? No! Are the people free to express their thoughts? No! Are we allowed to be the last post in that thread? No! We are not. How long must we suffer under their tyrannical whims?

Fight the system. Rise up.

Today I decided to wear a long sleeve grey shirt, and gun metal grey slacks. Sneakers as usual, and grey socks. But now that it's getting hot out, I wish I had worn a short sleeve shirt. It sucks when the weather changes so much like that in one day. I wish it could make up its mind for once, I mean, 40 one day, then 95 the next, then back to 40. I hate that shit. Do you think it will be a warm summer? I think with the mild winter we had, there's no way we could have a cool summer. Prepare for a scortcher folks!

Former porn star Lovelace dies after car crash

Lovelace, in 1974

DENVER (AP) — Linda Boreman, who starred as Linda Lovelace in the 1972 pornographic film Deep Throat and later became an anti-porn advocate, died Monday from injuries she suffered in a car crash. She was 53.

Boreman was taken to Denver Health Medical Center with massive trauma and internal injuries after the April 3 accident, hospital spokeswoman Sara Spaulding said. She was taken off life support Monday, Spaulding said.

Boreman's ex-husband, Larry Marchiano, said he and their two adult children were at the hospital when she died.

"Everyone might know her as something else, but we knew her as mom and as Linda," Marchiano said. "We divorced five years ago, but she was still my best friend."

The family moved to Colorado in 1990 and the two divorced in 1996 after 22 years of marriage.

Boreman claimed her first husband forced her into pornography at gunpoint. They divorced in 1973.

Their relationship disintegrated into a life of violence, rape, prostitution and pornography, according to her 1980 autobiography, Ordeal and her testimony before congressional committees investigating pornography.

Boreman said she was never paid a penny for Deep Throat and her husband only was paid $1,250, though the film grossed a reported $600 million.

After leaving the industry, she traveled the lecture circuit on a crusade against pornography, speaking at colleges and with prominent feminists.

"I look in the mirror and I look the happiest I've ever looked in my entire life," she said in a 1997 interview. "I'm not ashamed of my past or sad about it. And what people might think of me, well, that's not real. I look in the mirror and I know that I've survived."

Boreman was born Jan. 10, 1949, in the Bronx borough of New York

Like I already didn't fucking know that kid touching was a fucking crime, I'm glad we have the pope to clear that all up for us

Cardinals discuss sex abuse crisis
April 24, 2002 Posted: 6:41 AM EDT (1041 GMT)

VATICAN CITY -- U.S. cardinals and Vatican officials are debating how the Catholic Church should handle priests who have molested children.

The meeting comes a day after Pope John Paul II issued his strongest statement yet about the sex abuse crisis, saying such activity was a "crime" and priests who had abused children had done "great harm".

The credibility of the Catholic Church in the US has been damaged following accusations it transferred priests known to have molested children instead of suspending them and informing the police.

The two-day Vatican conference, which reopened on Wednesday, is expected to issue guidelines later on how to deal with priests accused of sexual abuse.

Comments made earlier in the unprecedented meeting between Pope John Paul II and 12 of the 13 U.S. Cardinals point to a "zero tolerance" policy being adopted.

Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles said: "(The pope) is being as clear as he can be. There is no place for abusers in the priesthood, whatsoever. You can convert hearts and offer reconciliation but you can't reassign them (paedophile priests)."

Any guidelines will be to be discussed by U.S. bishops at a meeting in June.

Some church officials say they fear the pope's comments could spark a "witch hunt" in the Roman Catholic Church, including among the gay community.

Estimates of the number of homosexuals among seminarians and the 46,075 Roman Catholic clergy in the United States vary dramatically, from 10 percent to 50 percent.

Christopher Bellitto, a church historian and academic editor of The Paulist Press in New Jersey, said homosexual clergy have told him they are terrified they will be made scapegoats as the scandal drags on.

"There is a real fear among gay priests that they are going to be seen as the fall guys," Bellitto said.

The pope, in an opening address to the cardinals on Tuesday, said there was no room in the priesthood for clergy who hurt young people.

He said: "The abuse which has caused this crisis is by every standard wrong and rightly considered a crime by society: it is also an appalling sin in the eyes of God."

The pope, who said he was "deeply grieved" by the scandal, said sex abusers could not be allowed to hide in the priesthood.

"People need to know that there is no place in the priesthood and religious life for those who would harm the young."

Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles interpreted the comments as an endorsement of zero-tolerance for errant clergy. Others have called this the "one strike and you're out" policy.

The pope also acknowledged mistakes had been made in the handling of the U.S. priest sexual abuse scandals.

He also said the church itself would emerge from the "present crisis" more firmly rooted in faith.

"It is true that a generalised lack of knowledge of the nature of the problem and also at times the advice of clinical experts led bishops to make decisions which subsequent events showed to be wrong," the pope said.

"You are now working to establish more reliable criteria to ensure that these criteria are not repeated."

Catholics should "be confident that this time of trial will bring a purification of their Catholic community," the pope said, "a purification that is urgently needed if the church is to preach more effectively the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all its liberating force."

The discussions are taking place at the Apostolic Palace, the pope's elaborate office and home within the Vatican complex.

Twelve of the 13 U.S. cardinals, including all eight of the archbishops who head major U.S. archdioceses, are at the Vatican, along with two top officials of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

I found this pretty interesting. Thought May Day was about Spring, circuses, and parades. Turns out it's anti-capitalism, anti-government, pro-anarchy propoganda.

Of course, I'll probably check out the demonstration by the prostitutes union.

A few months ago he was the next great president on the verge of disproving every critic. But has George Bush really done anything? I mean bringing down the Taliban, hmmm. We pretty much tried to make face with the fact we couldn't control a bunch of refugees who did most of the work for us in advancing. We still have not found Bin Laden and that seems to have been swept under the rug. Not much has trully changed, honestly in my opinion. It's almost as if it has just faded from the public eye of what happened 7 short months ago, this was gonna be a "long and hard war that may take many years to fight. Yet CNN is spending their days talking about the "Priesthood in jeopardy".

Bush is just one of those presidents we do not hear or see, is that a good thing?
