Gracias JJ, You have just been promoted from 'carry on' to a seat of your own. And up in the sharp end behind the pilot no less. I take no joy watching the world in this moment even though a great number of First Worlders are the architects of their own misery. It is a sad and sorry fact that the greed in a small proportion of the population is bringing untold life threatening misery to a great number of people in other countries. The fact that some people are upside down in their mortgage is incomprehensible to tens of millions of people who no adequate housing, food, water, medical etc and live in other parts of the globe. Which group do the media focus upon. What is wrong with the glorious first world that causes people to consume drugs that brings misery to millions in other countries. Uribe might be a friend to Washington, but at what price. Take a trip into the south of Columbia and look at what crop spraying has down to the land and the waterways. Why are these people paying the price for the drug consumer. If we want to stop the drug trade it is very simple. Establish a minimum level of drug distribution, note that I said distribution not sale. Run an extensive ad campaign explaining the rules concerning all those caught illegally distributing hard drugs over the limit. Then apply the law. Those caught, charged and convicted beyond doubt are shot within seven days. Those underage are shot on their 18th birthday. Those with appeal must be dealt with within 30 days. Notice I said 'shot' not 'taken out' The drug lords will be out of pushers in no time flat. The business of drugs is not about cultivation as we are all been erroneously feed. No, it is all about distribution and that dear amigos is where you attack the problem. We are living through the greatest lie in history, unraveling. saludos f9
Nice try Dr. Freud but I have not confirmed or denied if I'm male or female to anyone on ET... I simply don't discuss sex on the internet And if I didn't talk to you for months it must have been because I was on sabbatical.
Even simpler would be to give the drugs away. Who ever wants them can have them for the asking. Then run your extensive ad campaign explaining the dangers and downside of drug use. If there is no money to be made from pushing drugs, who is going to push them? Look at the money that will be saved just in ammunition needed to shoot pushers, not to mention the cost of burying them.
Thanks for posting, 666. But I don't have to wonder any more. You either have one swinging between your legs or you are VERY butch. I strung samples of your posts together to get statistical significance and ran the composite through Nkhoi's Gender Guesser.
I could not bear to review this thread from beginning to end any more than I could do the same with my own life. One of the interesting things about ET is that so many threads are like butterflies: they are born, they soar joyously, they die. It has been a privilege learning about Lucky. Unlike most of the rest of ET, she is authentic, she is sincere, she is just plain nice. You reading this cannot verify that because, like many ET relationships, ours bloomed and authenticated itself in private. Have you ever wondered what this place would be like if every poster were like Lucky? Open? Trusting? Taking a chance? So to all who believed and helped, many thanks. And to those of you who resisted the urge to disbelieve, more thanks. Since you like Latin so much, Vale, Lucky!
666, I read the source research cited on a referenced site, and composed samples based on it. It was shocking to me how hard it was for me to write in a "female" style even with a crib sheet of "female" rules in front of me. Of course I was nervously scratching my nuts the whole time, so that might have had something to do with it. Curiously, some posts by aliases that I thought were merely literary creations tested "weak male" and others "strong male" (that would be the real me). So maybe you and I are both a little butch. Curse Nkhoi for posting it. But it will provide great good fun in the future for testing posts for fempersonation (feel free to use my newly-coined word).
I'm surprised you put so much stock in it with disclaimers like: While Gender Guesser may be 60% - 70% accurate, it is not 100% accurate. and a woman who has spent 20 years working in a male-dominated field may write like her co-workers. So "butch" is not necessarily the answer, although it may be an answer. There others such as one who grew up with five brothers, one athletically inclined enough to have captained teams throughout their school years, one with a dominant personality, etc.
