A personal onservation is just that, the opinion of an individual who'se not American. But seriously, America always has been, is now and will continue to be 'centre-stage.' I'm not sure why this is. Perhaps something to do with America's refusal to do things behind closed doors ; Remember Bill Clinton's awfully big adventure vis-a-vis That Woman?
I thought it was awesome, the world's most powerful country getting into a passionate debate about what constitutes unacceptable conduct for the commander-in-chief. Congressmen and Senators prepared to lose their jobs fighting for what they believed in, or conducting a witch-hunt which might have, should have cost them their jobs - depending on which side of the isle your from. I got the distinct impression that even if China invaded Hong-Kong, North Korea went South and the Middle East erupted into full scale war all of America whould have said with one voice : "Would you damn foreigners mind, we're busy here!!"
To me it makes no difference whether Iraq was a mistake ; that debate rages still within America. Same goes for the detainees at Guantanamo Bay. I remember when the first photos of prisoner abuse started floating around it was anger within America that raged the most intensly. Sure America has made mistakes, but the intention was always good and decent.
As a South African I saw my own country go from a police state to a state so free it's almost anarchy in our parliament building, our new president is a crook, but a very charismatic man, a man with opinions and a temper. Jacob Zuma is a bit of fresh air after the cold and aloof Thabo Mbeki. The down-side? No back-bone. To protect our trade relations with China we refused a visa to the Dalai Lama. Robert Mugabe has brought Zimbabwe to the brink of the abyss, yet we do nothing. That is freedom too, the freedom to be weak and spineless.
America has never been spineless, yes I admit, I am a big fan of the American way. I'll tell you the most infuriating thing about America is your news-media's habit of only giving the most controversial of your citizens air-time. Passionate yet reasonable people are the most interesting in the long run but zealots makes for better sound-bites. It is the resonable thinking adult which intrigues me the most, a pity then that he or she is rarely heard above the screaming and shouting.
I think the moment which sums up your land with total clarity happened on the afternoon of 9/11, a woman wrote on a New York side walk : "The American Flag causes offense." She wasn't shot or assaulted, nor was her offensive (to me) expression removed either. Instead a debate broke out. That is greatness personified.
Why was the other guy banned? It does seem a pity somehow, but it behoves us all to remember that while freedom of expression is a constitutional right, belonging to a web-site forum is not. I like this site and I'd like to stay ; to do that I have to follow certain rules. I can live with it.
I've been following the "honest E.J." saga with great interest - he is no longer welcome not because he did porn before, but because he lied.
Broke Straight Boys's owners did not appreciate it, he won't come back. Pity, but them's the rules. I was a little mystified at first because I've seen some of your "straight boys' doing very un-straight things on other sites, but then I looked at the dates ; it would seem quite a few rather well-known gay-for-pay boys got their start on
Broke Straight Boys
The lesson I take away from this is simple,
Broke Straight Boys will treat all newcomers, whatever their orientation or back-ground, with respect and will honour all contracts. In return they expect a certain honesty from applicants. therefore I think I will stay a member for quite a while. Pornography, especcially reality based porn, is a most difficult art, not easy to pull off. In my own personal opinion, a rather rough around the edges parolee who'se been hustling ever since his release asking to be on
Broke Straight Boys simply because the money's better could be most interesting. The deal can be something along the lines of , "Fine, you're neither straight nor a virgin, so for 5000 bucks you will be bent over a table, tied up and you'll get bare-backed by the 10 regular's with the biggest dicks plus you'll be interviewed before' during and afterwards. If you don't like it you can always get back on the streets and dish out blow-jobs at 50 bucks a pop."
Just one thing though, if the idea does not appeal to Admin, I'm always free to join another site.
Broke Straight Boys will not, I think, pander to member's demands. It's the back-bone thing again you see?
Crap! It's nearly 11H00 and I'm knackered, and tomorrow's back to work. A good and satisfying job in South Africa is a relative rarity ; I have the honour of assisting the youth of my land (and many others) to better themselves. So yes, I do work hard, sometimes very hard. I choose to, exhaustion is a minor irritant.
Goodnight.
