An easy way to keep your information from being sold is to create a garbage email address full of fake information about yourself (I told Gmail that I'm a 19 year old girl from Congo) and use that email address whenever you register for a site.
If you go to the /b/ section of 4Chan you will notice that right now there are a bunch of really good hackers working on viruses to completely destroy apple computers, Ipads and Iphones.
Very good intro.
I love that the books treat male on male sex and female on female sex just as something normal that people do and not as some exotic or forbidden thing.
The basic mechanics of heterosexual sex implies at least two male partners. Because vaginal stimulation alone rarely gets a woman off. It's like girls are set up to have one man fucking her and another playing with her clit.
In the movies the writing is almost always really written by women even if it looks like it was written by a man because women have more natural variation in penmanship styles.
So, that "masculine" writing is more often than not a girl writing the way she thinks a man should write.
Just in case you hadn't realized how weird the Tea Party people are check out some scans of comic books that have been selling well at their rallies.

The are the most popular books in America and the three books have outsold the last 15 Stephen King books combined, so they have washed on your shores.
I'm with Lurker.
My goal is to make comments and come up with topics that will get people talking - because I want people to pay attention to me!
So far, the Smoking topic seems to be the most successful of my efforts.
To say nothing of twitching and not being able to concentrate at work while withdrawal kicks in.
I quit smoking with the patch once for about 30 days. Once of the things I've noticed is that when you do that you end up hanging out with people who've never smoked. And you realize that many of them are boring judgmental assholes.
I get along well with former smokers. I get along well with current smokers, but a fair number (not all) of the people who never smoked are people that I can't deal with at all.
In some ways I'm sorta glad that smoking repels them and keeps them out of my life.
As I'm sure many of you know the Millennium series by Stieg Larsoon is currently topping the best seller lists in Western Europe, the UK and Canada.
What I think is fascinating about it is that this is LGBT Feminist Fiction.
Can you remember the last time a work of queer fiction was the most popular book in America? I don't think it's ever happened before.
Maybe the straights are finally getting hip to us.
