Wow. That's a bit venomous. By all accounts, she treated her workers fairly, regardless of the fact that she broke the law. IF this is true, I hardly think that such unusual punishment is constitutional (that is a big if).

Wasn't this already rightly locked once for being trollbait?

I'm picturing Sarah's campaign videos having very dignified pictures of her, headlines praising her, the Hallelujah chorus going in the background, etc.

Look at the posts in this forum. Mudslinging appeals implicitly to the lowest common denominator and people who can't process anything more complex than a bumper sticker statement in their political decisions. Sadly, these people seem to be a majority, in my experience, and the loudest ones. Furthermore, they're worse in groups and it doesn't seem to be something which is exclusive to any political leaning. For every drooling, sexist, racist, bigoted moron who goes on talking about Obama's birth certificate or callling him a Marxist or calling Sandra Fluke the C-word, there's somebody equally idiotic concentrating on calling Gingrich fat or making fun of Romney for being Mormon or calling Bush a Fascist, rather than actually addressing the content of their statements or their actions.

... Ok. I literally LOL'd. Well done.

it's fair to keep in mind that a pull-up, such as a goodnite, by nature will leak more than a diaper under equal amounts of wetting, barring the rare occasion that the pull-up is a nothing-less-than-perfect fit for the wearer. They are universally more prone to leakage than a normal diaper because a normal diaper can be fitted to the size of the wearer. That being said, Tena probably makes the best adult-sized pull-up out there, or at least the best that I've worn.

Apologies for the lack of clarity. I was referring to their website.

Oh. WEIRD! Strangely enough, Secure Personal Care, the maker of the X-Plus, still just calls them the same thing they always have. Oh, Bambino. You so crazy.

Speedy: You mean Secure X-Plus? O_O

Hm... this is a tricky question, and not one which I feel can be answered "yes" or "no." Do I think that we should be on TV? Well most of you know my answer to that: No. Not really. I think the same about any other fetish. It is something which we should be sharing with those who are close to us and who it may be relevant to based on personal judgment. Not the world. I will not beat that dead horse further than that. Do I think that we should 'hide'? No. Not really. It is something which we should be sharing with those who are close to us and who it may be relevant to based on personal judgment, not something which we should be afraid to share with those people and something that we should be afraid to share with our loved ones. Do I think that we should be wearing our diapers overtly in public? No. Not really. It is something which should not be forced on the unwilling and diaper exhibition is abhorrent, selfish, creepy, and downright rude. I know I went a bit beyond the question but the point of my statement is that we should be balanced, above all. It makes it easier for us to be, well, us, and for others to be understanding of that. Even for those of us stuck with the whole diaper thing, it's a great thing to balance your life between the changes required to adapt/deal with diapered life and the everyday events that make a full and flavored life. That balance, of course, is also up to the individual. The further you are in one direction, the less you should expect others to sympathize with your decision, but it is still, above all things, your decision. On the pedophilia topic, I think that with ABDL sites still out there that overtly or subtly support pedophilic elements, it's a valid concern, however it's good to observe ye olde maxim: "Methinks the baby doth protest too much." It's good to distance from those awful people, but it's also good to probably focus on the positive elements of what we are, because there ARE some great positive elements.

Typically, Emails from valid, legit production companies are edited so they don't look unprofessional. Just sayin'.

In fairness, Homer on his own isn't sexy and the diaper isn't doing him any favors.

Heya Mio. I'm probably the loudest of the Vegas contingent here. I hope you like this town! I'm not in the market for playmates but friends are important and great to have.

The spring sale ended up when I needed a new order (for once) and some Bel generation II's should arrive for me today, which is perfect since I used my last gen 1 last night

*Freely admits to paranoia* As the adage goes. The fact that you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not actually out to get you.

No, Betty. I am getting exactly what I want, which is discussion of this issue. I am doing what I do BECAUSE it prompts discussion on this issue, rather than a few people working in an echo chamber. It is patently unfair to accuse me of beating a dead horse when I have been responding in the case that you quoted to a post of your own that was addressed at me. I disagree with this assessment of "most people," and I think you'll find that most black people, Catholic Priests, lawyers, sheriffs, and Muslims agree with that. This is a perfect demonstration of why you have inadequately understood my posts, and the point that I have been consistently making over time. Read the youtube, somethingawful, rotten.com, or cracked comments on any article of which we are the subject and you will find that you are dead wrong. The people who say "Hey. That's not my thing but I don't care because it doesn't affect me" are in a very, very small minority. Is this amplified by the internet? Probably. Edit: I see, on reflection, that the post that I was referencing may not have been pointed at me. If not, I apologize, but I will make my intentions clear: 1: When there is a thread about this, subject, I will post saying that I am against it, and why. Despite your consistent implication, this does not mean I think they should be unable to or disallowed to. It means I think that the decision to go on TV is not one that is well made under any circumstances, barring an incredibly unlikely huge shift in methodology by the involved production companies. I have been incredibly consistent in this view and I do not appreciate having words repetitively being put in my mouth. 2. If there are complete falsehoods posted in there (not usually the case) I will address them. 3. If there are posts addressed at me, I will usually respond to them.

If you truly continue to say this, Betty, then I regret to say you have not understood what I am saying. At all. Not even a little bit. Their exhibitionism literally damages the ability for other ABs to come out on their own terms to the people who it should actually matter to, in my opinion. While it should be done especially before the fact, after the fact it should serve as a warning, or an impetus, if they take it that way, to those who would continue to make this decision. The fact that some people take disagreement with their actions as a personal affront does not make it my fault that they do so. I have not levied insult at a single person involved in this, except to voice my disagreement, save one whose actions on this very forum have in my eyes merited that and who I will not bring up in detail or by name again. I have no issues with Stanley, or Riley, or any of the previous people to make this mistake. I simply disagree with their actions. And if you truly believe that is the reason why, I invite you to read my posts in more detail.

Pssssst. *points one thread down* *reports it for the second time*

No. You're comparing an apple to an entire orchard. Rush has orders of magnitude higher circulation and is, as you keep ignoring, repeatedly being asked to act as the spokesperson for a major political party If you think he isn't hurting the party, you haven't been watching the polls on how the discourse that he propagated is driving voters away from the Republican party.

I respectfully disagree, Betty. I think that those of us who disagree with their actions, especially before they complete them, should voice our disagreement. The problem is that the many, such as myself, feel that the problem is not the quality of the message being delivered, or the content of that message, it is the fact that people persist in trying to deliver it. Isn't it the definition of insanity to try to do the same thing over and over and expect different results in the process? What this "message" does is draw attention to something which is the business of nobody else expect the person or people who we sleep or play with. It is, in its very essence, a form of exhibitionism, and just like the people who are selfish enough to go onto public beaches in their diapers to satisfy their fetishes, it hurts us all because people don't end up getting ANY other impression of us, and won't because it takes a person unbalanced and selfish enough to do that to want to do it in public. Now, does this represent us all? Actually, yes. Should it represent us all? Certainly not. People form stereotypes based on what they "know" and that is what they are spoonfed by these slanted, nearly slanderous shows which keep getting aired about us, portraying us as unbalanced, self centered, freaks because that is what sells. There is no show that will not portray us this way because it needs to be shocking and weird to sell. Those shows are what draws the attention of the trolls who continue to plague these communities and there's a bounce in them every time they go on air, in my experience. To put it succinctly, my disagreement is in the fact that they continue to go on air, not in the portrayal which they provide, which they have no control over and cannot be blamed for. Now, can that disagreement go too far? Certainly, but it is going equally far when people claim that disagreeing with them is somehow a form of oppression. I can vehemently disagree with a person's actions while still supporting their rights to do whatever it is they do. That is how freedom works.

Well... as long as we all agree, then... XD

That would be the case if that half espoused the same view of the ABDL community. However, in my experience, they do not. Just about the only thing they DO have in common is that they think they represent the little world. The true fact is that there is no "majority." At best, there MIGHT be a plurality, but the definitions of ABDL/Little vary so widely that anybody who THINKS they represent the community as a whole is invariably incorrect in that fact. However, everybody's views in this are important, regardless of whether their views are in the majority or plurality that is most vocal.

Interestingly, the blind/gross friend invites stopped for me when I left the main ABDL group.

I am, and when they are allowing adults input on those relationships, it is certainly a problem. Voyuerism of minors in sex acts (yes, even cyber ones) should be unacceptable. I am speaking solely from my personal experience here, for the record. They may have improved in the 2 years since I left, but if the same people are still in charge, I doubt it, and considering their other dubious elements, I have no desire to find out.

Moderators watching and refusing to act on minors in sexual relationships on the site, trolls, and other various things. Not pedophilia, but still a fair degree of hypocrisy.
