Strong opinions about nothing important

[James G 5]

there is an aspect of my nature that is soft and fluffy, the part that wears schoolgirl uniforms, pouts at the threat of a spanking, and eats ice cream with abandon. mmm.....ice cream.....

Always cute to see a girl enjoying her ice cream
Just ask Moon!

ooh! aikido!
<snip>

but i'm rambling. my point is this: come within ten feet of me and i'll have you in the backmount to a rear naked choke before you could even tap once!

Uhm
No
I think my having trained since before you were born combined with my size/strength/reach might factor in
At equal skill levels, those things make a difference

*pouts* with these short little arms, i can't ever reach anyone! i used to spar with my boss at this crafts shop which employed me for a while, we only ever did kickboxing, and he would always keep me away with his reach and i'd have to really struggle to get close enough to pop him one. so yeah, i'm sure you'd end up being the victor! bah!

 

[lark sparrow]

That sounds like a personal perception.

Uhm yeah, didn't she just say that?

Would this perception be wrong because you personally find it inconsequential? People are allowed preference, yes?

I don't like ketchup - am I wrong? Maybe I don't like the taste, or the smell, or the color, etc. It doesn't really matter - I'm allowed not to like it and can choose not to eat it.

If I said not only do I not like ketchup but I don't like anyone who eats ketchup, they all suck and should be tarred and feathered, then it's a bit more "unreal".

No one has said that anyone who calls themselves a subbie is definitely a fluffy slut. They have said they don't like the word or label, particularly not for themselves. Would that be ok with you? If so, I will give you all my ketchup from now on.

I spared Rokushaku Bo with a girl about your size once
We locked up once or twice, and she couldn't get CLOSE due to my reach, even with the 6' staff in her hands
So we bowed, and as we came at each other she went in to a crouching lunge and SLAMMED the point of the staff in to the top of my leading foot
I fell down HOWLING and she walked over & tapped me on the head & said "I win"
And it WAS a valid legal move LOL
Made me tentative every time we spared thereafter, which gave her a chance to come in close
Similarly, my Mentor (who is 5' and a trickle and mebbe 95 pounds soaking) is a Mistress of sweeps & leg/groin strikes, coming in under her opponent's rach
She likes to say (of her subs and her sparring partners) "They're all shorter than me when they're on their knees"

EXCUSE ME
I STILL want to know WHAT is "wrong" with "fluffy sluts", since it seems to be derogatory!

ketchup. how many things can this miracle condiment do? it is the perfect compliment to almost any potato dish, and completes every backyard grill-out. it can be found on every table in almost every restaraunt in america. at is stronger than the passing time, and surely our future generations will feast upon its glory, just as our grandparents did. this sweet yet tangy sauce is the adhesive that holds the very fabric of our existance together, and maintains a common sense of reality. all can relate to ketchup. this unsung hero of our time and times to come is tragicly under-appreciated and we should come together as a society and praise this red deity, this god in which we all have faith. its sight brings smiles to young children and adults alike. for many, no hot dog or burger could possibly be called such without ketchup to be spread upon it. it stands for all things that are good and wholesome, for it is sweet, and yet made from that which grows from mother earth herself. i can find no fault in this, except man's inability to package this wonder correctly. we must conform to the ketchup, not it to us. we live in its world, not it in ours. only fools would claim to control such a magnificant substance. this is our ambrosia, yet we take it for granted.

the day of rekoning has come, let us praise this ketchup, for without it, where would we be? what manner of hellish, bland world would we be subjected to? i dare not even think it, for foods such as grilled chicken sandwiches and fried orange roughy would be simply unedible without the aid of ketchup to add harmony and grace to them. without it, french fries would become obsolete, thus crippling all fast food establishments, toppling the u.s. economy. one might say that these views are extreme and unrational, but have they ever lived in a world so empty as to not have ketchup? NO! no one has been forced to endure such torture, not in america, where freedom reigns down upon the good. so I pose the question, isn't it time to give rightful respect to this glorious treat? yes, my friends, i believe it is.

and what's more, it comes in purple and green now!







in case someone couldn't tell, i'm just teasin', not starting some sort of holy condiment war!

lol dunno, James. I happen to love being a slut (among lots of other choice "derogatory" names) for Mistress. Some which others might really take offense to for all sorts of reasons. And what's fluffy - fun and light? That's not so bad - I wouldn't want to live without it. Suppose it's all perception and context, and people's desire to reframe perception for other people. Sometimes it's desired, sometimes it's not.

lol bunny. Ok... I really do kinda, sorta like ketchup, but only behind closed doors, in very small doses.. ok? Pleeeease don't tell anyone!

lol His_sugar pfft!

In other words, "You say Tomato, I say submissive"?
*chuckles* something like that. but somehow i am sure a submissive tastes better than a tomato.


And what's wrong with being giggly, sluttish, and oversexed?????

not a thing. to each it's own. as long as it makes them happy.

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't."

Eleanor Roosevelt


i am a woman, and i have been called everything from female to raging bitch and everything in between. i am submissive and have been called everything from a doormat to a strong caring submissive and everything in between, including sub, subbie and the occasional "sammie".

If the way we are measured as a submissive is the choice of our vocabularies and how we refer to ourselves, then the Dom/me's should be jumping for joy at how many perfect submissives there are walking the planet earth.

i am a human, a woman and a submissive. Label it want you want, call me what you will.. just don't be condescending about it.

i am pretty sure i said it was inconsequential TO ME whether i am called sub/subbie/submissive. As far as her opinion is concerned, she is certainly allowed to have it nor does it make it wrong. *chuckles* Right and wrong has no place in opinion. It was the generalized perception of those that use the word that torqued me a bit. Tolerance is not attaching the masses to the few. But i will agree that a personal preference is what it is ... however, to blanket label others is a judgement. There is a difference.

i love ketchup but good googly, in massive quantities is heinous.

For the

OK, I'm REALLY tired...I got like 4 hours sleep last night and for some reason I feel like ranting.

I can't put a finger on why this bothers me, but it does.

I often see submissives referring to themselves as "subs" and sometimes even "subbies" and I can't stand it. I don't know why but it's kind of like someone running his or her fingernails down a chalkboard.

Think about it. You are submissive, not a sub. A sub is a device for underwater travel.

For some reason I have no such button for Dominants who refer to themselves as Doms. I can't say why.

Another thing that seems to get on my nerves are submissives who talk in third person. I think this has to do with some book or something, but it really doesn't matter. To me, it just makes you sound like you are mentally deficient. <if you don't mind my ignoring Politically Correct terms, you sound like a moron.> IMO

Another thing I see once in a while is people either complaining about others NOT capitalizing *i* or capitalizing it when they feel it shouldn't be. Sometimes I do, and sometimes i don't. Deal.

Then there is the D/s and His and Him and He capitals. I don't quite get all this. I know what it all stands for and why it's done, but really, I feel it isn't needed since most everyone here is supposed to be "in the know" at least to some degree.

No one here should feel this is directed at them specifically as it actually mostly stems from other places.

I guess I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or maybe I am just in an overly rebellious mood. Just ignore me and it’ll all go away by my second cup of coffee.

 

[YinandYang]

What pisses me off is that you are expected to know the terminology, use it and understand it. I don't really give a toss what people label me or my partner, its irrelevant to me. Internet talk confuses me, and I makes me feel like a novice sometimes. I remember my first experience with a chat room, and when I entered they asked me my A/S/L....I thought they were calling me an arsehole! So I let rip with 'how dare you' etc etc Didn't I feel a right tit when I realised what the abbreviation meant.

Some people say that the time period of 12AM~6AM is MORNING, for some reason. It is not morning until after 6:00, until then, it is still nighttime. 12AM is Midnight, not Endofnight.

right now it is five in the morning, my time..

in the winter the sun does not come up here until 11, and it sets at three...in the winter it never gets dark. so what would that make morning and night?

and for us solar midnight is actually 2am because some asshole governor put the whole state on one time zone (we used to have four) so only a few of us actually have real noon and real midnight
