I make my bed with the stars above my head and dream of a place called home.
Oooookaaaayyy. You guys are scaring me now!
*flees thread*
my boyfriend's birthday gift was 50% off
but it would have been out of my price range otherwise.
The thing I find most ironic is that, although I'll kiss my pets on the mouth, I find the idea of rimming ass utterly revolting. Poop comes out of there!
I knowit doesn't make sense, does it?
Since you all went down the road of doggies I will share a rather embarrassing part about mine...
One when i ball him up and hug him and rub his chest he often pops the little red rocket.... which is disturbing to me.... (to say the least)
Two. Twice now, when I haven't been prudent about shutting him out during sex, he has waited until I was finished and then jumped up on the bed to ...clean up and dripped fluids.....
I make my bed with the stars above my head and dream of a place called home.
^About point two: Well I'm shocked and dismayed. (reaches for his smelling salts.)
About point one: I don't understand. What do you mean by "shooting the red rocket"?
I voted Conservative in the last Canadian federal election and I have no regrets
How naughty can I be and still go to heaven?
I am often barefoot, wear pajamas A LOT, and I do stupid things with my friends, as evidenced here...
I thought this thread was longer
I heard about people chewing their food and then spitting it out in order to not gain weight. I tried it for about two days. You have to get rid of the 'expelled food' so it wasnt very practical
^ its kinda an eating disorder
I make my bed with the stars above my head and dream of a place called home.
I'm ashamed to confess that my glossy silver new MacBook Pro is so much smarter than me.
I'm pregnant by my stepbrother who'd rather be with my best friend. And he's left me with no place to live. No food except for this bottle of Wild Turkey which I drank all up.
I make my bed with the stars above my head and dream of a place called home.
I might end up in a casket before the year ends ^_^
sometimes, i get so annoyed and mad with particular people where i have to tell myself not to or keep myself from whooping their ass or killing them. yep, i'm getting better at it but sometimes i relapse into that mindstate where i feel like taking out my frustrations and anger out on other people. i might say something really fucked up, might take my frustrations on the internet or have homicidal thoughts where i'll think about taking out my feelings on others as a way of relieving the tension that is inside of me. but somehow, someway, i present myself as a harmless human being where people think i don't have those type of thoughts or feelings. however, the way people look at me where they give me blank looks or what i would perceive as negative facial expressions, i think that they don't like me or think that there's something wrong with me so i get paranoid and think they really have a problem with me when i'm misperceiving them.
but nowadays, i'm slowly learning to not give a fuck and to walk away from issues instead of letting them get to me and finding myself on the brink of snapping on some george sodini shit. haha.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
^If you murder someone, can it please be me? This forum is turning into such a shitshow, yet I'm still on here.
I use Murray's Pomade on my hairat least, on what's left of it. I find it a wonderful product. It will keep every hair on your head in place, right down to the millimeter. Even 100mph winds won't move it.
It does present a challenge to get it out of your hair, though.
I'm drunk... and it's almost time to go to church.
i LOVE masturbating and i LOVE porn. my hand has been my life long companion.
i also tried to jerk off to some women flexing her boobs because my dick got a bit excited when i saw her chest move. however, the excitement died and i couldn't get off to her. i then realized that then i can't see myself having sex with this woman. i also realized that this is not january 29th 2011 where i was living in denial thinking that masturbating to women meant that i actually had feelings for women where i wanted to have sex with them, a relationship with them and etc. it was hard to picture me being in love with a woman. that was when i went into my folder full of hot men and jerked off. when i got bored doing that, i decided to say fuck it and went to dailymotion to jerk off to some male stripper from dreamboys uk flexing his left pec in a clip that last for about a second. damn, that was hot.
but yeah, thinking about having a boyfriend that i can make love to and cuddle while watching tv with makes me happy.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
I rarely visit the "Coming Out, Relationships & Bisex Talk" forum anymore, because a lot of the advice in there annoys the hell out of me. Even when I agree with the basis of it, the overly harsh, judgmental, condescending, and cynical way it's given is still off-putting. In other words, I find the "tough love" too tough at times. Especially, from two of the regulars in that forum who I suspect are really just emotional bullies pretending to mean well. No matter what it's about, their advice always has this antagonistic edge to it that borders on flaming. It's like they get off on making people feel worse than they already did to begin with, and belittling them to make themselves look high and mighty, like their shit doesn't stink. They refuse to admit when they're wrong and ALWAYS have to have the last word. Sometimes, I wish they'd just cross the line and get themselves banned so people can feel safe from their wrath. I get sick of seeing them prey on easy targets at their weakest moments.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for constructive criticism. I just wish people were more civil about it, instead of mean for the sake of being mean.
Oh yeah, and Cumguzzler's avatar makes me precum every time I see it. If that's him in it, I'd tear that ass up if he let me.
I find it an interesting coincidence that you should mention this, AWP.
I'd run into a situation some time ago that involved a "tough love" approach. Since some subsequent events underlined what he had said to me, the tough love worked in my case. I began to take a closer look at everything I did, and have endeavored to make changes.
Unfortunately, as you have said, it rarely works. I'd say 99% of the time, "tough love" only offends and makes enemies. In the 1% of the time that it does work involves a student already internally ready to accept the criticism.
I can't stand the douchey self-righteousness.
What's really too much is that one of them is one of those forum members who constantly gets baited into arguing with trolls. Imagine wasting your nights picking nits with dorks who just want to see you make an ass of yourself, then going off to another forum and telling people they're miserable failures unless they go out and live life as you think they should.
The irony of that is incalculable.
This thread usually thrive without Joswan's fertilizer
So I leave it that way
I changed my avatar yesterday morning. Last night just before I signed out, I was looking over a thread that I post in often and saw a new face I didn't recognize and wondered how I hadn't seen him before. It was only for the briefest of moments, and I quickly realized that it was my own post that I was looking at.
So yesterday, I did a porn shoot
(posted some details in recent blog)
i think i'm going CRAZY. either that or i'm paranoid.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Since moving in with my BF at the beginning of this year, I've gained 10lbs. So...do I blame him?
I extremely repulsed ..idk why...extremely..extremely hate...
the entire cast.... of "how I met your mother"
Especially Neil Patrick Harris
his character, his stupid suit attire, his acting, everything!!
I haven't been fucked this month.
Homophobia kills!
yup but statistics have shown that it's almost universally true that cohabitation leads to weight gain. there was an article about it in the New York Times a couple months ago.
that's funny... I can't stand Neil Patrick Harris as a person, but I like his character
I am addicted to reading cookbooks.
My particular interest is Victorian cookbooks. I found an on-line source that has bunches of them.
Did you know:
*The average kitchen was 15X15? (that's very large by our standards)
*Fried chicken was quite rare, except in the South.
*A fruit called "citron" was all the rage in Victorian times; today it's seldom seen in the US.
*Roasted chicken had a crispy crust, that could be peeled off in chunks.
*Meals were most often five or six courses; formal meals could be 10 or 12 courses.
*Something called "chicken pie" was all the rage. It's not the same as chicken pot-pie.
^see what I mean about being addicted to cookbooks? I get carried away.
I really dig that stuff. If anybody wants a cite, please let me know. The books are free to read online.
if i had a gun and the wrong person did the wrong thing to me and i was in the wrong mood and frame of mind, i would shoot them and not have any remorse for my actions. they made me do it.
people keep on saying walk away, smile, turn the other cheek. well, there's times when i can take it and there's other times where i feel like giving them back what they deserve. you fucked with me so i'm going to fuck with you back. if i beat your face into the ground, leave your face all black and blue because you said the wrong thing to me, it's your fucking fault, you fucking bitch. fuck all you no good, miserable, pieces of shit people that try to fuck with me, piss me off, upset me on some bullshit because you just want to hurt my feelings and expect me to smile about it. i hope you die slow and painfully in your sleep, in a fiery car wreck, or whatever will make you suffer a horrible death.
i'm heated right now and some minutes ago, i was in the bathroom wishing i can have a moment to show my rage on some people that try to belittle me thinking they're funny. i would love to put the fear into certain people to show them who is the one in control of the situation. i might have to go and buy me a gun to punk around a few people and instill some fear into some people to put them in check. they know that i will pull the trigger to to show that i'm serious about respect and whatever.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Apparently, it's a fruit imported from Persia.
I've never seen it in the stores in my lifetime, which makes it seem all the more strange that it was so popular in Victorian America.
Two other tidbits, real quick:
*On the infrequent occasions that chicken was fried, it was cooked differently. You salted and peppered the chicken first, then dredged the pieces with flour. (I'm thinking that this approach might actually save quite a few calories, so I'm going to try it.)
*They suggested you fry donuts in beef fat, otherwise called "suet". Detailed directions are given for rendering this beef fat. (I don't know if I'm brave enough to try this.)
Ok. Enough for now.
I would like to see someone write a blogspot called "A Year of Victorian Cooking", in the tradition of a similar blog called "A Year of Slow Cooking". I think it would be interesting.
1. I have a phobia of landline telephones >_< sort of, sometimes.
2. I used to have a crush on adult Simba from Lion King
3. I have loads of sordid fetishes/fantasies
I'm a copraphobic. I'll go to ridiculous lengths to find an isolated restroom, if I find that I have do to Number Two, because the smells and sounds disgust and embarrass me so bad.
I'm craving Beef Jerky all day...
This is my fav snack for right now:

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

people on the fence would have to have been scared by the accusation and
veiled threats in order to be affected by whatever conciliatory remarks
were made later. On the surface, I don't see why a bunch of hard-assed
Iranian dudes who have endured years of sanctions and endless rounds of
talks would suddenly bite at this.
On 10/27/11 7:09 PM, Michael Wilson wrote:
So my answer is they are trying to convince those who are on the fence
who would back Ahmadinejad in his attempt to get a deal with the US.
They are trying to give Ahmadinejad some currency with which to convince
other Iranians that a deal can happen. And remember how all the US
officials downplayed Ahmadinejads involvement in the saudi plot
On 10/27/11 7:02 PM, Michael Wilson wrote:
Neither side trusts each other. The US is definitely apprehensive
about Iran, they always say we are not sure who holds the power. Most
recently, they tried to set up a hotline with the military, got
rebuffed, then said the military is a dictatorship
The Iranians have said before that you can't trust the US.I have
definitely seen many Iranian politicians including Ahmadinejad say the
big problem is that you just can't trust the US to uphold its word.
Didnt Bush make a deal with Iran in early 2000's over Iraq and then
say fuck 'em?
We have talked internally and perhaps onsite about how most in Iran
argue that its in Iran's interest to come to a deal with US at some
point, the question is when and how and who gets credit
The delay over their release underscores the depths of Tehran's
internal power struggle, with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
rebuffed by other factions in the government after publicly
announcing the hikers would be freed. Both the more populist faction
in the Iranian government, represented by Ahmadinejad, and his
rivals in the clerical establishment understand that Iran's current
position has given it a historic opportunity to reshape the region:
Political turmoil is engulfing its Arab neighbors, the U.S.
withdrawal from Iraq is nearly complete and Turkey has not yet
stepped into its natural role as a regional counterbalance to
Iranian power. However, none of these factors can be expected to
persist indefinitely, and internal divisions could hamper Iran's
ability pursue the kind of unified foreign policy needed to
capitalize on its opportunity and cement its position as the
dominant power in the region.
Tehran and Washington have quietly been holding talks on what
the future of Iraq will look like, and Iran wants to use its
position of strength as a way to reach an understanding with the
United States on Iran's terms. Ahmadinejad has attempted to reach
this sort of accord with the United States but has been held back by
his rivals at home who do not want him to be able to take credit for
such a foreign policy coup.
These domestic divisions are a major issue in their own right
for Iran, but the larger question is whether they will cripple the
country's ability to make important foreign policy decisions,
especially at this crucial juncture. Tehran has an opportunity to
reshape the region and move toward an accommodation with the United
States in a way that cements Iranian power at its current high ebb
for the foreseeable future, an opportunity it will not likely soon
have again, given that Turkey's limited role and the political chaos
in the Arab world cannot be expected to last indefinitely.
Capitalizing on the situation is a complicated process, and one that
cannot be done without a coherent foreign policy approach, which, as
the hiker situation demonstrated, has not yet been realized. Whether
Iran's factions are able to speak with one voice on foreign policy
in the future is not clear, but the stakes are increasing and the
time to seize the opportunity is dwindling.

Washington Sides with Riyadh
In the midst of all this, the United States announced the arrest
of a man who allegedly was attempting, on behalf of Iran, to hire
a Mexican to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States. There
was serious discussion of the significance of this alleged plot,
and based on the evidence released, it was not particularly
Nevertheless - and this is the important part - the administration
of U.S. President Barack Obama decided that this was an
intolerable event that required more aggressive measures against
Iran. The Saudis have been asking the United States for some
public action against Iran both to relieve the pressure on Riyadh
and to make it clear that the United States was committed to
confronting Iran alongside the Saudis. There may well be more
evidence in the alleged assassination plot that makes it more
serious than it appeared, but what is clear is that the United
States intended to use the plot to increase pressure on Iran -
psychologically at least - beyond the fairly desultory approach it
had been taking. The administration even threw the nuclear
question back on the table, a subject on which everyone had been
lackadaisical for a while.
The Saudi nightmare has been that the United States would choose
to reach an understanding with Iran as a way to create a stable
order in the region and guarantee the flow of oil. We have
discussed this possibility in the past, pointing out that the
American interest in protecting Saudi Arabia is not absolute and
that the United States might choose to deal with the Iranians,
neither regime being particularly attractive to the United States
and history never being a guide to what Washington might do next.
The Saudis were obviously delighted with the U.S. rhetorical
response to the alleged assassination plot. It not only assuaged
the Saudis' feeling of isolation but also seemed to close the door
on side deals. At the same time, the United States likely was
concerned with the possibility of Saudi Arabia trying to arrange
its own deal with Iran before Washington made a move. With this
action, the United States joined itself at the hip with the Saudis
in an anti-Iranian coalition.

Since then we have the seemingly, extremely pragmatic stance the
Saudi's have taken towards the Iranians. They let Iranian FM Saleh
visit. They have said in multiple statements they are basically
waiting to get all the facts before they take a reaction. And
insight suggests they are waiting til the visit goes to court...in
We also have the US saying it had direct contact with Iran over
the plot, Clinton's statements today about how Iran's military
leadership is not allowing a rapprochment (aka the US wants one),
plus the technical embassy idea.
All of his as US is withdrawing from Iraq where it has warned Iran
not to meddle too much
I agree with the weekly that the plot served to unite KSA and US,
but I am also wondering if it served another purpose that was not
specifically addressed.
1) It makes both US and KSA look extremely pragmatic that they are
willing to negotiate after this. Its a good faith measure. It
says, look, we could have escalated if we really wanted to, but
instead we are being really pragmatic...you can trust us (Of
course such measures always run the risk of looking weak)
2) The plot is more of an affront against KSA. Sure it was on US
soil, but it was killing the Saudi Ambassador. This means that the
Saudi's are the ones that "decide" the tempo of negotiations. The
US is just backing up its homeboy. So if it looks like the Saudi's
are leading negotations, the other Gulf Arabs may be more willing
to accept any agreement. If KSA feels safe they feel safe
I feel more strongly about assertion 1 than assertion 2

This man loved children, respected women, honored his parents, obeyed the law, stood up for the oppressed, enlightened the masses, healed the sick and prayed every day. This was no ordinary man. The words written about him have impacted the lives of more people than any other person in history.
It is not just the words — but the spirit within those words — that rings so true that countless people have sought to walk in this man's footsteps and tell others about the message he preached regarding loving others, making sacrifices and living for the Kingdom of God.
One of the things that touched me most about this kind and caring man is the way he treated others — how humble and reasonable he was, how sociable and thoughtful he was — especially in comparison to the religious leaders of his day.
Consider one example at Matthew 15:21-28, which records the only documented trip of Jesus with his disciples beyond the borders of Israel.
It reads, "Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, 'Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.' Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, 'Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.' He answered, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.' The woman came and knelt before him. 'Lord, help me!' she said. He replied, 'It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs.'
"Yes it is, Lord," she said. "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."
Then Jesus said to her, 'Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.' And her daughter was healed at that moment." — New International Translation.
Think about that for a moment. In verse 24, Jesus explains his reason for ignoring the Canaanite woman, stating "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." But the woman kept pleading with him, prostrating herself before him.
He then told this woman in verse 26, that it was "not right," to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs. Here Jesus drew on the biased view of Jews toward other nationalities. But he appears to use it to test her faith. How so?
According to the New King James Version, Young's Literal Translation and the New World Translation, Jesus did not use the Greek term "kynos" for "dogs." Instead he softened the word by using a Greek term of endearment, "Kynaria" for "little dogs" or puppies. These small pets would be the only kind allowed inside a home. The woman picked up on Jesus' reference, rather than take offense, and extended his illustration to her advantage.
Although Jesus had made it clear that he came to minister to God's people in Israel, Jesus did the very thing he said he was not supposed to do — he yielded! He commended the woman for her faith and cast the evil spirit out of the woman's daughter!
So, what can we learn from the way Jesus dealt with this woman? Is he rigid or is he reasonable? Is he willing to change his mind? Is he more concerned about people and their plight, rather than following a code of rules? You decide. Jesus was humane. He loved people. He did what his heavenly Father wanted him to do, which was to show mercy to "whosoever believeth in him" (John 3:16) — including a quick-witted woman whose faith that Jesus was her savior — as much as he was the Jews' — brought her and her daughter instant relief. What compassion he shows for those who demonstrate their faith!
Another of my favorite accounts had to do with Jesus being sensitive to the special needs of others. For example, those who are deaf may be easily embarrassed, especially in a crowd. It seems Jesus took note of one man's particular nervousness and gave him individual attention, even using gestures the man could relate to.
Mark 7:32-35 says, "Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and who also had a speech defect. They begged Jesus to lay his hand on him. Jesus took him away from the crowd to be alone with him. He put his fingers into the man's ears, and after spitting, he touched the man's tongue. Then he looked up to heaven, sighed, and said to the man, "Ephphatha!" which means, "Be opened!" At once the man could hear and talk normally." — GOD'S WORD Translation.
By indicating what he was going to do for this deaf man, putting his fingers in the man's ears and touching his tongue, Jesus showed a love for interacting with people — not just healing them from a distance.
Yes, Jesus was sensitive to the feelings of others. The mere sight of the afflicted touched him so deeply he was moved to relieve their suffering, according to Matthew 14:14.
We honor this Son of God by imitating his sensitivity and compassion for others. As he himself said at Matthew 11:29, "Learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for your souls." — New World Translation.

Mazda3 Exterior & Bodywork Issues
Has anyone had any paint issues on their brand new 2011 Mazda3. Mine is a month old and I noticed grey/white spots in the paint. It's all over the car and are very random spots. Finally the dealer now sees the spots and needs to consult Mazda. Anyone else have these issues and what are my rights in this matter. Repainting the whole car will depreciate the value, so should I ask for a new-new car?
jong81 Posts: 10Okay, so I followed all the directions. I didn't got polyester. I got a nice cotton chenille hand sponge. I washed it and resoaped it every chance I got. Washed from top to bottom. I've only owned the car a month. I didn't have time to dry it, so I just drove to my appointment. Stopped at the gas station where the light was bright and what did I see to my surprise?!?!? Not only were there watermarks, but suddenly I noticed tiny little scratches!!! ON MY BRAND NEW BLACK CAR!!! Did I mess it up? What do I do? I'm bugg'in out here!!!
bigfur Posts: 649Owning a black car will show EVERY single little flaw in the paint. Might want to try getting just a cheap orbital buffer and some 3m finishing compound and go over the areas lightly...odds are this will solve the problem. Also consider the light scratches may have been there since you bought it but didnt notice till you looked closely while washing it.
stallionre Posts: 205I use to own a black car and never again. These swirl marks and never ending. I hate staring at them and nothing that you can do will get them off. Not even waxing with the best products and best hand polish machine. Black cars are notorious for seeing everything. Sorry, but you had to get a black car didn't you? JK. Black does look rich. I admit.
jong81 Posts: 10Thanks guys! Yeah ... I'm realizing it hard to keep this thing clean - the mica finish helps, and when it's overcast, the car beams!!! But if it's sunny, I notice everything and want to tear my hair out. I'm having it detailed soon by this guy who used to do higher end cars, like ferrari's and such. My friend says he's amazing. He said his mother has a black Acura, and some raccoons had a fight on the hood and scratched the whole thing up - he got it all out. He toughes it up and he takes out any dings as well. I'll let you know how it goes.
stallionre Posts: 205Thats sounds great, maybe there is product that will work. I have not used all the products that are made, since I don't own a black to try. I think the Meguair's is one of the best, I know that they are more.
Please let us know how it works, sounds awesome to take out dings as well. -

jhorton6 Posts: 7I have a similiar problem on my two year old car. I think some dirt got trapped under the wiper and left a 4 inch scratch mark on the one side of my windshield.
When I showed it to the dealer they said it wouldn't be covered under warranty.
When the weather gets warmer I am going to try some glass polish on it to try and lessen the visability of it. -
autonomous Posts: 1,769grey/white spots in the paint
What is the color of your Mazda3?
all over the car and are very random spots
When you say all over, does that include the roof and trunk? Imperfections on the front and sides of the car could be attributed to stone chips.
Can you feel the spots when you run your hand over the affected areas?
Some paints use mica to reflect light with a shimmer, but there is nothing wrong with the surface.
Repainting the whole car will depreciate the value, so should I ask for a new-new car?
The advantage of getting a new car, is that you no longer worry about the solution to the problem! Hopefully, Mazda and or the dealership see it that way also. -
lylone Posts: 6What is the color of your Mazda3? Velocity Red
When you say all over, does that include the roof and trunk? Yes, on the roof and trunk also. Even the parts of the frame above the door. They are just white spots and not grooved like rock chips or etc.
Can you feel the spots when you run your hand over the affected areas?
Some, yes, others no. There is like a hard spot on some that are actually pertruding out from the spot. Using a finger nail will not remove the hard spots. Other spots are just spots like when you get sun damaged white spots on your skin and there is no roughness at all to the spot.
We do have a Lemon Law in our state that does say that if the issue causes a depreciation in the cars value, then the dealer must buy it back and a replacement given to the owner.
How much does a repaint depreciate the value?
I have an appt set up with the dealer's Mazda Representative next Tuesday.
Thanks for your help -
scwmcan Niagara, CanadaPosts: 394It is possible that some lawn fertilizer got on the car at the dealership, had this happen to one of my cars ( the dealer stopped using fertilizer after that, they had a fair number of brand new cars affected). As for the solution that is up to you either repaint or new car, I am not sure how much repainting willdepre iatethe car,but it really depends on how long you keep it,good luck and I hope you get a satisfactory solution.
autonomous Posts: 1,769Sounds like you have a very strong case, lylone.
I would consider documenting the problem by:
- taking as many photos as possible (pretend you work for CSI),
- reviewing the requirements in the lemon law,
- drafting a letter describing the problem, the times you have visited / spoken to the dealership (include the earliest date possible you mentioned the problem to them), stating your preferred remedy (i.e. a new vehicle) and finally mentioning legal action via the state Lemon Law, if you are not satisfied.
If your dealer does the right thing and provides you with a new vehicle, you won't need the documentation. But, if not, you should consider taking the next step. The longer this takes, the more the dealer will claim it is your responsibility (i.e. wear and tear) rather than admit that the problem is due to the manufacturing process or some other reason.
The dealer may want to make a deal and have you "share" in the repair. It seems clear from what you have said that you are not responsible for the problem and therefore should not accept any burden to remedy it.
Frankly, I don't know how much a repainted vehicle would be discounted. Most buyers would be curious if not concerned why a vehicle was repainted. One could always say, "I did not like the color" (except of course if you repaint it to the same one!).
Let's hope the dealer does the right thing. -

lylone Posts: 6Hey all,
Still waiting on Mazda to come to come to some sort of decision. It seems like now my emails and phone calls are not being answered by the dealer. So, this weekend I filed a BBB complaint and will see where that goes. You would think that they would give me some sort of response back since it has been a month and do they really want me driving around with the paint looking like this and their name on my car. I almost tried to get the dealer's name off, but haven't even washed it since a month ago. Don't want them to claim it was something I did that caused it to get worse. I did take a video of the vehicle pointing out all the spots around the car and it's pretty darn good. The spots have even showed up on the black window and door jams. I don't think a repaint will fix it all in my opinion. :lemon: -
lylone Posts: 6not happy.. got word that Mazda only offered to pay 2 car payments or pay for a 100,000 mile extended warranty as a "good will"gesture. What? are they kidding? It's going to cost 3K for a paint job and I will loose 3K in value. This is all on a one month old brand new mazda with white spots in the paint. They say they don't know what caused it and are not liable?
Yes, they have not heard the end of this!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: -

The dealer/Mazda may be trying to see the minimum that you will take. The "goodwill" gesture is part of a strategy to come to a quick agreement and avoid lengthy negotiations; it would surprise me if they accepted your initial terms without trying to bargain you down. Offering to pay 2 of your car payments may be an initial bargaining position.
Have you heard back from the BBB?
Has a paint "professional" seen the problem?
Have you considered hiring a lawyer?
It's good that you are following up with the dealer/Mazda in a timely manner. As the car gets older, the case will become more difficult to prove.
A key question to consider is why did you purchase the car if it had a paint problem? On the other hand, if it did not have the paint problem originally, I would think it would be more difficult to have the dealer/Mazda take responsibility for the problem once it's left the lot.
Good luck! -
lylone Posts: 6Yes, heard back form the BBB and are waiting to find out when the arbitration will take place. I took the car to a local body shop and they couldn't figure out what would have caused the spots. Unfortunately, they wouldn't give it to me in writing. He thinks that maybe brake dust may have caused it when the car was being transported to the states. But still, the clear coat that is on the car should have prevented any environmental issue unless I drove under a paint truck... that didn't happen. Also, anything environmental should be able to be buffed out and even their "expert" detailer couldn't get the spots out.
The Arbitrator will be neutral lawyer and I still do have the right to sue Mazda even after the out come of the arbitration. I have not spoken to a lawyer because that would cost me $$.
Why did I purchase a car with a paint problem? Maybe because I didn't know it existed. The spots can only be seen in cloudy or shaded light. In the bright Atlanta sun in the middle of July, the spots cannot be seen at all. We haven't had many cloudy days here in Atlanta, and I just so happened to see it as a cloud passed by the day I was giving it's first bath after purchase.
Even if the damage happened within the 4 weeks I had the car, you would think that the clear coat on the vehicle would have protected it. -
autonomous Posts: 1,769Sounds like you have done your homework.
The reason for the questions in the earlier posting was not to put you on the spot, but to have you "practice" answering questions to see what responses work. Also, getting experts (e.g. paint professional / detailer) to back you up should strengthen your case. Finally, getting it documented should make it clear that your case is not frivolous but based on solid evidence.
Once again, good luck with the BBB and let us know how things work out.
lylone Posts: 6The hardest part is getting documentation. All the body shops I go see say that the clear coat should have protected the vehicle, and they cant think of anythingelse that would cause the damage. None will actually put it in writing. I did realize that I purchased and installed sunroof deflector on the vehicle the 2nd week I had the car and there are no spots on it. So the damaged either happened in the first two weeks or before I took possession of the car. I just wish the arbitration was tomorrow because I am ready for the saga to be finally over.
Thanks for all your help and especially for testing me....

The appearance of your skin is affected by the presence of environmental particulates, dead skin cells, excess oils, and impurities. It's essential to remove these in order to bring out the natural beauty of your face as well as to stimulate new cell growth. In fact, as the body begins to age, the natural turnover of skin cells starts to become slower. While this is a normal occurrence, it isn't always a welcome one. The old cells die off and begin to build up on the upper layers of your skin, dulling your skin tone and clouding its clarity. Used in conjunction with daily cleansers and toners, Avene Exfoliators can rejuvenate the appearance and elasticity of your skin. Avene Exfoliators offer non-abrasive formulas that gently take away deadened skin and open pores, creating healthier looking skin.
Infused with the natural goodness of Avene Thermal Spring Water, Avene Exfoliators are formulated to deliver gentle exfoliation in a soothing manner. This is important because not only does skin cell renewal slow down with age, but the skin itself becomes more susceptible to damage unless it is properly cared for at all times.
Avene Exfoliators Products
Additional Avene Exfoliators Information
The gentle formulas of Avene Exfoliators soothe the skin as they lift away the impurities that dull the skin and damage its elasticity. Avene products are formulated using the finest of ingredients in order to deliver optimal results. Prior to purchasing any Avene beauty care products, it is recommended that you speak with your physician or a dermatologist in order to determine the exact nature of any skin problems that you may be currently suffering.
Offering the tenderness of a non-abrasive formula along with the cleansing capability of Sodium Salicylate (beta-hydroxy acid), Avene Gentle Purifying Scrub opens your skin's pores as it removes surface impurities, revealing a brighter complexion. Beta-hydroxy acids or BHAs are known to be somewhat gentler than other hydroxy acids, making them the perfect choice for an exfoliating product. Gentle enough for sensitive skin, this delicate formula is oil free, paraben free, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic. It offers a mild fragrance that is pleasant and not overpowering. Since this exfoliator has been infused with the natural goodness of Avene Thermal Spring Water, it is quite soothing to the skin.
Designed for weekly use, Avene Gentle Body Scrub improves your skin's clarity, leaving your skin smoother and softer than ever. Infused with the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties of jojoba beads, this gel provides gentle exfoliation while it delivers skin-friendly benefits that are good for all skin types.

In response to
The statement that I do not understand the extent of the problem is patently wrong. I would present that the opposite may very well be true.
It was not in this discussion about overpopulation where I said I thought you did not understand the extent of a problem. I don't question your knowledge of overpopulation. I said
Perhaps you, like most people, are unaware of the true dimensions of our Planetary Emergency.
specifically in reference to the synergistic multiplication of risk that climate change poses to nuclear power plant safety.
I certainly didn't paste the label "Unaware" on you, as a general put down. I admire your connection to nature and minimizing your carbon footprint.
I appreciate your attempt to give me feedback on my communication techniques. However, I find your advice somewhat unclear, or at least it confuses me. Perhaps if you gave particular examples where you see me contaminating hard data that I quote with my feelings, we could address those cases. I appreciate that at least you recognize I'm well intentioned. It would be helpful to address "overstatements, understatements, mistakes, misquotes, errors and mass oversimplifications" on a case by case basis.
When you make a long speech, you make gaffs that folks can use to "support" contrary opinions.
I probably do make gaffs. Feel free to call me on them.
When you make sensationalist statements, or even emotive concise summaries, you invite idiots to participate and present their "feelings" on an equally low level.
It's my take that you see statements such as "survival is at stake" as sensationalism because you don't take the threats to civilization and species survival as seriously as I. When I take the long view, I see climate destabilization triggering not only very serious climate change but also very many nuclear power plant accidents. The cumulative challenge to species survival involves an accumulating mutation rate burden to future generations. There's a threshold where the ability of evolution to remove deleterious mutations is exceeded by their generation, which leads to extinction. Herman Muller warned about this threat decades ago, but most people ignored him. You and I may have very different estimates of the chances that our species will survive the next few thousand years. But do not assume that difference arises from my allowing emotions to distort fact. I think we pay attention to different facts and put them together differently.
I think expressing our feelings about serious issues like these is helpful. Even people who are less informed and who disagree have a right to express emotion in non-blaming respectful language. They deserve a voice. If we do not include others in debate, how will we learn form one another?
As to your use of "idiots", I'm just now learning how ableist my own language has been. I'm making an effort to avoid ableist words.
Definitions: An idiot, dolt, or dullard is a mentally deficient person, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way.
---Correct language.
Liable: Both liable and apt when followed by an infinitive are used nearly interchangeably with likely
So yes, I make likely statements about people acting in self-defeating manner.
Human species...meaning THIS human species is not in danger of extinction, though it is progressing down the pathway normally associated with species transmogrification.
Example: Virus becomes so virulent and capable of reproduction that it spreads wildly along many vectors, attacking and killing every available host. Eventually as a species or variant, only the less virulent actually survive.
Sounds like a good thing in the long run doesn't it?
Thank goodness for nuclear power. Some of our species might get to last out in subterranean bastions huddled against a nuclear power plant in Tropical Antarctica eating algae and meat rabbits for a few thousand years until everything blows over. Maybe the society they create will breed fewer tailgaters and self centered Idiots. With a population collapse, we can then undergo a few beneficial changes in our much smaller more mutable genetic pool, as we did long ago when early hominids were almost wiped out.
No, I don't see survival as being at stake, and the planet doesn't need "saving". Our supposed bicameral legislature and the local shoe boutique need saving. The human species (and hominids) lived just fine in a hand-to-mouth disease-ridden condition for a couple of million years. I'm not all THAT wrapped up in the current mayfly population spike that I happen to be part of.
This may simply be because I am an engineer, and we are born without souls. I posit that no-one else is either, but....
An once again, there have not been "a lot of nuclear power plant accidents". The meningitis-laced steroids in the news currently have done a LOT more damage than Fukushima ever will in real terms, but we will hear about Fuku long after this epidemic is last week's news. You see, it's less sensational.
Paper mills have and continue to do hundreds of thousands of times the environmental damage that nuclear power plants have, but they are the cornerstone of our society, and are not sensational!
You could indeed drop a nuclear weapon on NYC every year and not equal the damage to the environment that having the city there currently causes. This is a fact. Powering it with nuclear power is a beneficial step.
Chernobyl is now a nature preserve....where before, it was a cesspit.
Art, you appear fully aware of the hazards and limitations of a wide range of industries. True paper mills are among the most polluting industries, right up there with cement production and coal plants. But hundreds of thousands of times more environmental damage in real terms than nuclear power plants? Show me that data please!
When I make claims similar in structure to "The meningitis-laced steroids in the news currently have done a LOT more damage than Fukushima ever will in real terms" you ask for a published comparative study. This isn't a straightforward comparison.
We might eventually know exactly how many patients were killed by tainted spinal medication, once the incubation for meningitis passes. Patient deaths are damage, of course. But a meningitis outbreak doesn't permanently render a parcel of land useless to future generations. It's more difficult to quantify the damage from Fukushima. We may never be able to quantify the radioactive contamination which bioconcentrates in Pacific Ocean food chains, and the disease burden to wildlife and human consumers which ensues, now and through all future generations. Long term damage such as to habitable land must be also be considered.
Our planet has limited habitable zones. Toxic chemical spills, erosion down to bedrock, and radiation hot zones remove useable land, irreversibly for practical purposes. For millions of years our hand-to-mouth disease-ridden ancestors lived here and left habitable land behind for us. In the past few hundred years we've wantonly destroyed, for the foreseeable future, habitable territory worldwide. With climate destabilization, soil depletion, pollution and nuclear proliferation, this destruction seems to be rising exponentially to me.
When the Japanese "clean up" Fukushima they move the radioactive waste somewhere else in Japan, with the logic that all provinces should "share the pain".
Two dreadful commercial nuclear power plant accidents, two noncommercial meltdowns, a close call at Three Mile Island, and numerous ongoing safety issues such as flooding at Calhoun count as "a lot" of accidents to me.
In sum, it's my impression that you focus more on present damage and I focus more on very long term damage. This may be part of why we diverge on risk assessment.
Did my thesis on the migration of radioactinides in groundwater...so Yes, I am familiar with the long view of handling waste made from weapons, ancient first generation plants, and all that crap. I have done term papers on Yukka mountain and studied welded egnimbrite geologic formations and all that...and I base my opinions on that, political experience, personal experience, anthopological studies, planetary science... and I have NOT ONCE asked you for any kind of "comparative study...nothing like that! I'm not trying to prove anything to you, except my stance that your methods are really good at driving away anyone that isn't exactly *perfectly* in your camp, undermining your ability to actually deal with the situation at all. I would think that is very important to you, as I am sure you must have a plan for implementing a real world amelioration scheme...otherwise you would not need so many converts to your way of thinking so that you can act immediately. Here is reality as I see it: If you were elected High-Muck-a-Muck Emperess Plenipotentiary at noon today, you would not have the resources or technology to implement a solar/wind economy within the next 50 years. You couldn't do it. Mind you, that is based on a mere regional study that I am familiar with (having taken part in the study as a lowly researcher). You need these: http://energy.sc.gov/publications/Roger%20Schonewald%20-%20GE%20Ene... You need 4000 of them to power NYC alone. We only have a few sets of heavy lift equipment, and no-were near enough expansion capacity in that regard. You need 22 years to complete the job for NYC. You can achieve 20% Wind power, if the population stopped growing immediately. Otherwise, we could not do even a war-time economy that could catch up to the cumulative requirements. The infrastructure requirements are simply too great in terms of distributing that power, and there really are not that many places that can use wind (see links). You cannot do this anytime near our lifetimes, which is obviously what is required. I strongly recommend you take a REAL look at nuclear power options and realities. The STRONGEST PROPONENTS of Nuclear power in this day and age are Rotor blade shot for you.....
You need 12,000 of these for NYC, with other plants to back them up and a completely new set of grid facilities...and a new grid installed in the city andddddd....
WWF made an interesting case for getting off fossil fuels without nuclear power by 2050....problem is, it requires 6,000 exajoules of energy from biomass....basically converting all our agricultural output into burnable biomass that causes tons of pollution (which might reach a state of equilibrium after about 250 years but leaves us with a 9000ppm CO2 debit...not good for the climate or hydrological cycle or anything else in the water. Not to mention that the algae-based biofuel production technology to date has created 1.4 grams of biodiesel. Feasibly, we COULD replace (as high mucky-muck) all the current plants with nuclear in 35 years...all 15,000. Carbon output could drop to an acceptable level and extra capacity could start producing electric railway transport, further reducing greenhouse emissions. ...of course, if you are totally against taking a deeper look at nuclear power in a scientific and unbiased light, then there is little I can do for you. You can't convert all the Baptists.
Did I suggest that I had all the answers? I don't remember insisting that wind and solar power alone would meet our energy requirements.
At least solar technology continues to advance. If we can integrate active solar into building materials themselves for new construction and renovation, the footprint problem will be reduced. Passive solar is already being adopted in some countries, and could help a bit here if it were subsidized.
Your expertise is welcome.
You make a compelling case that we're headed for an energy crunch beyond our capacity to resolve. I realize that a massive nuclear power building spree might fill the gap created by cutting back fossil fuel. I'm just saying that it might create even more problems, of a different kind. Nuclear power plant operation requires a great deal of expertise. Profit considerations encourage companies to hire the least skilled employees they can get away with for a given job. Every energy industry experiences competition between safety needs and profit requirements. My concern is that these inevitable pressures predispose for more catastrophic long range accidents with conventional nuclear than with other forms of energy. Perhaps breeder reactors will be the glorious solution you seem to envision.
Geez ruth,
How many times do I have to write "NOT Breeder reactors, but Pebble bed light water reactors" before you will do more than skim my posts? I doubt very much you have looked into anything about reactor technology, and I doubt you could describe a basic steam cycle for a 19th century locomotive.
If you think that "unskilled workers" would affect the quality of such a program, think about all the unskilled workers building smart phones. They work pretty damn good, don't they? That is what quality control is all about. What is more, in a plant like this every weld (just like in any shipyard, skyscraper construction etc...) is xrayed and inspected, every joint is pressure tested, every bit of material is analyzed for it's engineering properties before a shipment lot is accepted, and QAI goes on and on at every level. I doubt you would know anything about building anything. It sounds like perhaps you have absolutely no relevant life experience in anything related to physics or engineering to allow you to judge so much as the quality of toothpicks.
Passive solar (black bag on your roof to make some water hot) doesn't work very well in temperate zone winter. It certainly won't do much in an urban environment with dense population, and it would not affect the energy market much at all. Other passive solar applications (greenhouses, skylights etc...) are already in use and available, and don't need much government support, as anyone that can afford a house can have that stuff if they are willing to alter their ideals about what their house should be. Unfortunately, folks just build as big of a house as they can fit onto their lot...
"Passive Solar", which is only vaguely definable, is already subsidized BTW...If you pass certain green building standards, you do indeed get tax compensation and credits. You also get that for what you must be calling "Active solar" which is really referred to as solar-electric.
As if building coal plants, wind turbines and solar farms requires less expertise than building a nuke. Geez. The Navy takes 17 year-olds, trains them for a year, and then they go out and run nuclear powered ships. It really isn't rocket science. Hell, rockets aren't rocket science. Sure they can be complex, as any really useful rocket generally is, but the difference between a modern plant and first gen plants is the same as between the science that SpaceX is using, and the kind of rocket science where you light the fuse and run like hell.
I'm done talking to Baptists for this run.
Anyone seen the movie "Idiiocracy"? If you have, I rest my case. It's more a documentary of the future than the comedy I think it was meant to be.
Some additional information and ideas on this:
The human population expansion is the single most important issue, the one affecting nearly every other global issue and precipitating to local levels. There is a bad habit of looking just at the number as a total: 7 billion now, 9 billion in a decade, etc. This view does not take into account where the population increase is actually happening. The fastest rise in population is in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Latin America and Far East Asia are levelling off. While Australia, Canada, and the US show moderate population increases, these increases are entirely accounted for through immigration. Removing immigration from these countries shows that the numbers are flat or slightly decreasing. Japan, Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and Great Britain are actually losing population, and in all but Japan that population space is being taken up by immigration, mostly from Africa and the Middle East. Analyzing these patterns, we see the following: Industrialization, modernization, and urbanization decrease population. Why? To answer that, we must look at the lives of women in all these societies. Where urbanization, modernization, etc., happen, women gain increasing control of their lives. These societies need educated, working women to sustain them. In all of these societies, women's education rates and levels have soared. Women are moving into all areas of the workforce. Educated, working women cannot afford to have litters of children. They do not want to spend their most intellectually productive years producing long strings of dependents. Along with educated women comes secularization. All of the urbanized, modernized societies have been throwing off their religiosity. This is what makes the actively religious so suddenly vehement and politically active. And, they are active mostly in the areas where control of women matters most - marriage, birth control, and "family." If we look at the areas where birth rates are rising, what do we find? These societies maintain strict control over women's lives. They use law and social pressure to prevent women from getting education, and from getting independent lives. The entire social rationale regarding women is to make them subservient to and dependent upon men. A principal means for keeping women down is keeping them pregnant. We see in these societies high degrees of religiosity to the point of outright theocracy. We see the religious factions actively involved in preventing women's access to birth control and education (which is by far the most effective form of birth control). We see the madness of opposing condoms because they supposedly support immorality, as if loading the world with millions of starving and miserable children is not immoral. However, even in these societies, we are beginning to see some positive movement. Consider the case of Latin America, once one of the principal sources of global population increase. There, many countries are finally arriving at modernization, notably Brazil, Argentina, Chile, the Domincan Republic, and Costa Rica. Population growth in Latin America is stabilizing. There are similar stories for China, Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea. Again, we see the movement of women out of the "traditional" role and into the working environment. We see women increasingly educated. We see women gaining in every area of public life. And we see levelling populations. Urbanization, modernization, and secularization are spreading. Wherever they go, women are seeing to it that marriage is no longer considered a religious rite or institution, that motherhood is not an inevitable destiny, and that they do not have to take orders from men wielding the billyclub of religion. The most important question about these trends is this: will the changes be fast enough?
We only have one problem: Over-breeding. You said it. Everything else is a symptom.
The average citizen's inability to appreciate the consequences of exponential growth will be the killer of a large percent of the world's population. Just a 1% growth rate will double the population in 70 years. The current rate is 1.4% which means a doubling in 50 years – that works out to 14 billion critters by 2062. Not a shiny future.
Exponential growth isn't taught in public school, at least in a way people can understand it intuitively. One example I like. If a water weed doubles in the area of a lake it covers every day, people are pretty good at calculating the early growth. You say it covers 2 square inches on day three, they'll tell you it'll cover 4 square inches on day 5. But if you ask how much of the lake will be covered on the day before the entire surface is covered, they don't immediately realize it's half of the lake. People boating in the 50% open water the day before still feel as if the end point is a long way off, because so much water is free for them to use.
Even educated people often fail to grasp the difference between problems that escalate linearly and and those that escalate exponentially. Hence, the assumption that feedback loops which multiply climate change aren't all that important.
As a biology teacher (retired) I had many opportunities – and took them - to teach the concept of exponential vs linear growth (including the Duckweed growth on a pond). I and another biology teacher wrote a district wide unit on human population growth (the district has 16 high schools). In the unit we placed a heavy emphasis on trying to bring students to a visceral/emotional understanding of the consequences of exponential growth. There are few, if any, examples in which the growth was not a dead end.
A simple way to evaluate doubling time is, 70/% per year growth= doubling time
So a population growing at a 1.5%/year the doubling time would be 46 years 8 months.

The brainchild of Milan-based designer Dino Di Modolo, Di Modolo crafts luxurious statement jewelry distinguished by sensuous curving lines, rounded triangles, and one-of-a-kind gemstones. Founded in 2001, the brand was won over the likes of actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and model Julie Henderson (spotted wearing Di Modolo's silver Linked by Love bracelets) with its glittering pavé diamond Triadra Collection, 18k gold rings and earrings, and geometric station necklaces. Whether you're looking for a distinctive set of sapphire-accented drop earrings, an engagement ring for your loved one, or a square pair of diamond and gold cufflinks for the taste-making man in your life, you'll find it all in Di Modolo's high-end jewelry box.
