Sexy Toys+Alabama = Jail Time
Posted: 11/30/2008 7:28:23 PM
Well if there are this many people from Alabama willing to support lifting the ban, then wouldn't it be a better use of your time here to start a petition and post directions to having it signed by different people?

Or maybe writing your congressman... or writing up your own bill to decriminalize the use and sale of sex toys in alabama. It may be a matter of state legislators or congress, though I'm not sure which. I just note that if it bothers you to have to call them "novelty items" when you sell them (I worked for Spencer's once in a blue moon), then you should do more than watch 20/20, and if you have the use of something as powerful as the internet to garner support on a forum...well then why not?

I for one am male and straight, so until they stop me from using the internet with legal recourse, I'll be fine without the whirring hand bananas. though I extend my sympathies to everyone else, of course.

And on a final note: at least alabama isn't UTAH, though not by too far.

Why do so many people hate Emo?

Well, though it is basically because they complain too much, there are other splendid reasons, related to complaining and not so, that are simply perfect justifications for antipathy.

1. For starters, they identify themselves solely with music and adhere to a specific dress code as a result. that is kind of revolting.
2. None of the music is any good. The instruments are horrid, and the voices have a batlike screech to them. The target audience is pre adolescents to early teens, and the singers are usually complaining about high school age problems. So it is essentially music for teeny-boppers, except you hear references to suicide occasionally.
3. Many of them are on the verge of Codependency, and anyone that desperately pathetic that they need to make someone feel sorry for them in order to feel comfortable should be considered at least a little obnoxious.
4. Even if they have real problems that they can legitimately complain about, such as sexual or physical abuse or constantly being picked on, they always turn the hatred inside. They glorify moping about and cutting themselves (I don't care if every single song doesn't pertain to that, just stay with me here) or other depressive activities. At least with Punk (real punk) or Heavy Metal the aggression gets turned toward something other than the "victim".
5. Because of their tendency to complain, the matter of the males wearing skin tight jeans over their under developed little teen legs is going to be impossible to overlook.

If someone were to doll themselves up in a tutu, toting around one of those giant lolipops, and wearing Goldilocks hair, and if that same person were to tug your sleeve and say "You just don't know how hard it is to be me"...well you'd practically scream "WELL NO S---! I am practically obligated to give you crap while you're wearing girl's clothing so tight that your testosterone is being cut off and, as a result, the hormonal imbalance throws you into some kind of teen man-menses!"

You see, while gender roles ARE completely arbitrary (I really am not saying any of this out of a sexist kick), it is simply crossing the line to impersonate a woman on her period if you are a 14 year old male.

6. They pussed up alternative rock just a little more.
