Is Democracy like Sex?

dopp: Wouldn't more people vote if it were?
coderman: "Evolutionary biologists, I noted, have only recently begun to appreciate the importance that parasites play in evolution... the arms race between parasites, which try to adapt to get around their host's defenses, and their hosts, which try to make life tougher on parasites, turns out to be an important one."
coderman: "This, it is thought, explains why sex is worth all the trouble and expense."
coderman: "My thought has been that elections play the same role for the body politic that sex plays for the body physical: Every so often, the voters throw the rascals out, and vote in a new set of rascals, meaning that the special interest groups, lobbying outfits, etc., that parasitize the body politic have to adapt to a shifting target."
coderman: lol

S&M saucepots want the Queen muffled
posted by Oliber at 2006-11-15 15:45

Oliber: "A diverse group of sexual adventurers and civil libertarians has joined in condemnation of that part of tomorrow's Queen's speech expected to propose banning "extreme porn", because the internet has made it too readily available for some people's tastes."
Oliber: "words British people will be able to watch depictions of violence against women, but not sexual violence against men."
Oliber: ". So the law would allow a film that featured a woman being hit in the face while having sex, or one man pumping another up the backside while a pack of dogs gnashed at their ankles, as long as the actors were not shown to be maimed beyond repair."
Oliber: El Reg: "What do we think about this? We're not supposed to take sides, so we're sitting on the fence - and boy, does it feel good.®"

lemonodor: "People have asked that if the moving GIF above is not a fake, why was the unidentified object not captured by any other camera? I would suggest that the angle, accompanied by a variety of other factors that would be more obvious to those deep in stealth technologies, was just right. We got lucky."

lemonodor: opiate found in human saliva, more powerful than morphine
lemonodor: "The substance was so successful at blocking pain that, in a test involving a platform of upended pins, the rats needed six times as much morphine as opiorphin to render them oblivious to the pain of standing on the needle points." AWW!
