i think you are referring to this ancient church practice
Indulgences? Yes! Back in the Middle Ages, "indulgences" were a form of "absolution-permit" sold by the Catholic church; having sinned, you could assuage your guilt, and minimise (or remove altogether) the need for penance by purchasing yourself an Indulgence.
Funds raised from these sales were a major source of Papal income.
There were a whole range of different types of indulgence;
Plenary indulgences granted remission of all sin,
Partial indulgences remitted a portion,
Temporal indulgences granting remission for a defined period,
Perpetual or Indefinite which lasted until explicitly revoked,
Personal which applied to a named person or confraternity, and
Local which applied only to a specific place.

Meni, have you BEEN on E while we've been having this discussion? ;) We are talking about KIDS getting it - and in the case that brought this up, the PARENT giving it to his 13, 16 and 18 year old kids.....Hellllloooooo???!!
Personally, I don't give a flip what you or anyone else over 21 wants to put into your body, but the adult (or kid) that sells/gives it to a minor needs to have even STRONGER penalties thrown at them than those that are selling legal (booze, cigs) to kids - and THOSE laws ARE in effect.

Meni, you got me there, I've never taken the stuff. I don't have any kids but I wouldn't feel very comfortable telling them don't do this even though I do because it is bad. Pretty twisted logic if you ask me.

E
doped up?
you don't get doped up on E

As you said, my daughter, you got it right, up to the parents, to teach their kids.
I'm 32 and I do E

So Meni, let's say when your daughter is 16 I sell her some E. Are you cool with that? When I bring her home doped up will you see it as, well, it's not as bad as alcohol?

re: Cardinal law:
Too damn funny (well, ok not really for the childrens sake). Wasn't it the catholic church who sold...shit...can't remember what the term was, but basically you could buy "good deeds" from people who were "overly pure" to insure your acceptance into heaven back in like the 1500's or so? Once scam after another....
If they had half a brain, they would allow the ministers to have sex with women, hookers, hoochie coochie girls, heavy metal bar sluts...whatever turns them on. Might just save a few young boys from having scarred childhoods...assholes...
SHawn EVERY religion breeds assholes!

Ulfie, thats 1 dead out of how many weeks?
not 1 out of 100,000
how about you take all the users
add up all the timees they done it
then divide that by number of deaths attributed to ecstasy.
Then add up the deaths from liquor. Meni (The Golden Tongue)

Ulfie, did you notice another girl took the same pill and was fine. Something was up with the girl who died. People don't take 1 roll and die.
Here's a clue, 100,000 roll a week, how many die? Meni (The Golden Tongue)

Anytime Grimm, lol. Actually it was a plain old stress with just an ekg, really a waste of time test, nuclear and/or echo is pretty reliable...:)
Those pics of ALexa are stunning.
I will be checking out Cloud9 for sure. Much artier work than Matrix. I think Matrix is great but there is a sameness and not much artistry in their stuff.
but then again no matter how much i love great nude photography have i ever paid for soft core porn? nope.

Grimm is that the deal where they put the sensor on your chest like checking for babies? I had to do that - they made me run uphill for 20 minutes, then the lady jammed sensior on my side I thought she was gonig to break my ribs!

made the mistake of telling them that i work out daily. which i do. but only have been for a few months.
Meni, case was thrown out against the dealer because of some goofy PA law. (I don't remember the details) Point I was trying to make was she took E one time and she is dead. Seems kind of silly to take your life into your hands for a few hours of "fun".

<<I just wanted someone to kick the fathers ass>>
I was watching something else and flipping back and forth (gotta get a TIVO), then fell asleep before the west coast showing :( but I remember the father giving the THIRTEEN YEAR OLD SON that crap. If I were the mother, I'd be using that show to get 100% custody, no unsupervised visitation. The 18 year old was bad enough :(

LA Judge Orders AdultCheck To Undertake Massive Policing Effort
this is a major victory for content providers.
If this part of her judgement holds up it is going to surely change the the AVS and free hosting landscape.
"Judge Baird reported in her 106-page ruling that Cybernet had argued an order to proactively police its affiliates would go beyond even the most unfriendly interpretation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which offers Internet service providers a measure of safe harbor from the copyright infractions of others.
Baird wrote that she was skeptical that Cybernet even qualified for protection under the DMCA because of the company's vicarious gains from the illegal content. "

The ugly fat kid is like 32, I refer to everyone my age as a kid. I think I am very immature and stupid.
He picked up a some married chick who was married like 20 years. He fucked her, no condom at her friends house, the she was so digusted, she told him, you have to leave, here's cab fare, wait outside.
hee hee
Even cute hot married chicks, if the hubby don't pay attention, boom they may go home with someone. I remember a waitress telling me how her husband sits on the computer and doesn't pay attention to her.

Married Life? maybe if you are like 35 or older
But if you are 35 or younger, go out meet people, have fun.
Married men? most are miserable, dream of cheating, 50% do cheat, they want to fuck the waitress when they are out to dinner with the wife. The call escort services when they are on the road. Wives? after 20 years, will pick up a ugly fat kid, just to fuck something beside the husband. Ugly Fat kid was Scottie this weekend.
