DB is the new Porridge. Cause most of the mods must be sucking his cock ..... Or his giving them some oral help? How else can you explain it?
Best scenario. The name says it all. Fish (n) smelly, often covered in scales and/or slime, can't survive in the open air, swims against the current, preys on others, size-for-size has the smallest brain in the animal kingdom.Originally Posted by enigma51
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

Scarely "most of his life" - two years hard labour , in fact.(e.g. a reknowned poet/author/playright* jailed for most of his life for the "sin" of homosexuality whilst female homosexuals were not outlaws because the silly bitch on the throne didn't believe women would have sex for an reason but procreation and even that under protest)
And Vicky was rather notoriously randy (and complained loudly if Albert was away from home for too long).
Reason that female homosexuality was not illegal was much simpler (and more practical). 'Twas that homosexuality was not illegal (never was, since the middle ages at any rate). Sodomy, however, was, as was indecency. Since female homosexuals could not commit sodomy (or, at any rate the legislators' imagination was not equal to the task of imagining a way), and since they could not think of a way of defining in law what they DID do, it was decided by all parties to gloss over the matter. And especially since lesbian activity was hardly likely to affect discipline in the forces -which was what they were mainly worried about - (and , judging on the stories coming out of the US armed forces today, perhaps not with out reason)
They were very well aware that it existed. Few indeed of the educated classes of the day would have been unaware of the history of Lesbos, or of whom it was for that "burning Sappho sung".

The Labouchere Amendment was commonly referred to as the "Blackmailers' Charter".
A sorry saga which our more enlightened age now looks upon with incredulity and abhorrence. At least for now...
You people who are jumping up and down about these issues should read some history before you presume to take the high moral ground.
Age is too high a price to pay for maturity
And, by a strange coincidence, Hon Fran Wilde whose private member's bill it was that resulted in the decriminalisation of homesexuality here in New Zealand. And the Stadium. Bless her!Originally Posted by eliot-ness
