You were told wrong. But then, at this point that's hardly surprising.

First they'll take your porn

Probably belongs on politics, but whatever. This is a disturbing movement:
Quote:
NEW YORK — Pornographic movies now seem nearly as pervasive in America's hotel rooms as tiny shampoo bottles, and the lodging industry shows little concern as conservative activists rev up a protest campaign aimed at triggering a federal crackdown.

A coalition of 13 conservative groups — including the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America — took out full-page ads in some editions of USA Today earlier this month urging the Justice Department and FBI to investigate whether some of the pay-per-view movies widely available in hotels violate federal and state obscenity laws.

The coalition also is trying to draw attention to CleanHotels.com, a directory of hotels and motels nationwide that pledge to exclude adult offerings from their in-room entertainment service.

Though porn is now cheaply and readily accessible on the Internet, and through many other outlets, the activists chose to target the hotel industry in part because of the well-known brands of corporations that cater to family vacationers as well as business travelers.

"These are places that you take your family — these are respectable institutions," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. "Anything that brings porn into the mainstream is a concern. It just desensitizes people."

Precise statistics on in-room adult entertainment are hard to come by. By some estimates, adult movies are available in roughly 40 percent of the nation's hotels, representing more than 1.5 million rooms. Industry analysts suggest that these adult offerings generate 60 to 80 percent of total in-room entertainment revenue — several hundred million dollars a year.

The recent newspaper ad mentioned no hotel companies by name because of legal concerns, but it did target the two major suppliers of in-room adult movies — South Dakota-based LodgeNet and Denver-based OnCommand, a subsidiary of Liberty Media Corp. The ad accused both companies of distributing hardcore pornography to their hotel clients, and it provided a link to a list of X-rated movie titles.
I've read statistics that suggest that a third of all hotel check-outs in the United States have porn charges on the bill.

The sign of good tailoring should be, well, good tailoring -- a perfect fit. If you need some other sign, you might as well get a label that says "this suit was well tailored," and that will be as reliable an indicator as an alteration that has nothing to do with the quality of the tailoring work.

But that's just my opinion.
Dude, she's totally defining you and the quality of your suits. Don't respond any more, while we still respect you!

Yay! I'm healthy! Even though the fritter is deep-fat-fried and coated in sugar.

This is very good advice.

TM, please let it go.

And you too, ppnyc. You let it go. You kicked his ass. You win. We're all amazed and awed at how you took on the great TM and won.

Plus, we all think you're hot. Hell, SS even wants to sleep with you.

I think he wants to fuck her. Not sleep. Because she is so attractive that she incites lust in him.

If it was really such a barrage of insulting, sexist, offensive comments, why did you stay? Surely the drink could not have been that good, nor that expensive.
And I cut it short.

Even to the point that he suggested he's going to the train I said I'm going to Kenneth Cole and rather than telling him to fuck himself I blithely led myself off the the slaughter to look at stilettos. I should have poked his eye out. oops!
You are 100% completely full of shit and trying to save face. I think it and you are completely pathetic.
