Respect

Members dont respect hosts. They are kids. They are from a poorer country. They don't deserve any respect. They don't respect themselves by working here so why should I. I pay them good money. They want respect too?

Host dont respect members. They are way older than me. They are from richer countries and think they are special. They dont deserve my respect. They dont respect themselves coming here so why should I? I show them my body. They want respect too?

RE: Respect

everyone should respect everyone no matter what they do,where they are from,how rich or poor they are.it doesn't matter.respect goes a long way in making you a better person.show respect and you will in turn be shown respect.

RE: Respect

wrong.

just because you show respect towards someone does not mean you will recieve it in return. the same goes for other aspects such as kindness, generosity, compassion etc etc.. with the possibly exception of negative aspects such as anger, hate etc.

if you believe that people will treat you how you treat them (with regards to respect and other positive aspects) then you're gonna be disappointed =-/

RE: Respect

I agree with Anne also. Respect is a mutual thing. If you do not give someone respect you should not expect them to return it. Respect is something that is earned with how you are with people, not something that is automatic. Of course you are going to run across those in life who are only about themselves and will not show others respect, compassion, caring or understanding.

Thank you....an IMPORTANT Question.

Q,

You bring up an important question that is not discussed enough. CC does its part by posting standards of decorum, but as we all know this doesn't stop some from hurling insults and ignoring a basic regard for respecting one another. If someone disagrees with us, it is not a justification for attacking that person personally. Sadly too many apparently think it is!

You are not the first, of course, to bring up this important topic. See, for example, the 12 Feb post by "a friend:) " and the 13 Feb post by "why can't everyone be nice???" In the former "friend" posted his (her?) displeasure with someone's rank criticism of a non-English speaker's English skills and her appearance. His complaint was warranted, but ironically he proceeded to call such posters "trash...fleas..etc." The irony apparently escaped him. What’s more, having set the tone for the thread, a Jerry-Springer-style mud slinging contest ensued.

As regards your observation re: the mutual disrespect you see in both directions, I would simply observe I do not believe it is 50-50. From my experience as a guest and having spoken about this subject with many hosts, my sense is there is more disrespect coming from guests than the other way around. This is not because hosts are inherently more virtuous or well-mannered than guests. It is a function of the economic reality here---which you touch on in your brief synopsis of both arguments that both sides use to justify their lack of simple respect for the 'other.'

Many guests—sadly many of whom are my fellow Americans---feel because they are the “payers” this gives them the right to be abusive to the host. As they see it, they have just bought the services of a “ho” who is a mere animated commodity for their amusement or masturbatory fantasy. What they fail to realize is that they too are a part of the equation. They may fancy that they are enjoying the perverse pleasure of degrading a woman, but they are entirely oblivious to how they are likewise degraded. One perceptive host told me that among the “stupid” and most maddening questions posed by the run-of-the-mill idiots that patronized her was, “What’s a nice girl like you doing working here?” Realizing, of course, that income was at stake, she did not express her outrage, but did occasionally respond by saying, “Well, what are YOU doing here?”

It seems to me that in all human relations we need not respect people for what they do or what they think, but we are bound to respect each for what we are: human beings. There is no getting around that. We can call each other vulgar, dehumanizing names [which has always been the mark of hateful, racist, sexist, xenophobic language], but after all the dust is settled, the object of our hatred is no less human than ourselves. And to deny that person’s (or group’s) humanity [yes even someone as repugnant as Hitler] is to deny our own.

Reply

RE: Thank you....an IMPORTANT Question.

Well the irony did not escape me, and it was actually out of character for me to respond in that manner, but at that point of time I was sick and tired of those who felt the need to belittle someone because of their language skills, intelligence or whatever other choice of the day there is! Nice to see you read my posts though. :) Hope you have enjoyed the others.

RE: Thank you....an IMPORTANT Question. ~ OT

Yes, even I have noticed a few more gems amongst the rough ;)

It is nice to have reasoned debate in the forums once is a while and not constant bashing of a persons, race, country, language skills etc etc. I do recall , long time back now, I made a particularly vitriolic stand against the most overt forms of bigotry seen on CC. Followed immediately but trolls trying to set fire to more threads in an attempt to wind me up, something that has yet to occur. If only for the one simple reason that anyone with such abhorrent views never dare actually stand up and be judged for their supposed opinions.

That being said, in terms of respect, I think we all deserve it if we've earned it. Just a question of showing true colours and fessing up to who you really are. I always make it a point to let people know I appreciate them being straight with me after all.

RE: Respect

self-respect is where all respect comes from.if you have this you will respect others.that doesn't mean you have to agree or like them or things they do just respect them.if you have self-respect it's not as important what others think of you.don't crave respect from others earn it with deeds & action.

Plastic money.. no joke

The currency - Notes
When you finally get your hands on cold hard Australian cash, the first thing you might notice is that the notes are plastic. Don't worry, someone hasn't slipped you toy money as a trick - it's all part of a scheme to make money last longer and be less susceptible to forgery. At least, that's the theory.

Plastic money, along with self-adhesive stamps, are two of the things we keep getting told are a world first. It's either because we're so in front of the rest of the world with this technology - or because it's a stupid idea that nobody else wanted to do.

4. The currency - Coins
The other thing you'll notice is that there's no 1 or 2 cent coins. These days, cash prices are all rounded to the nearest 5 cents. So you won't have so much fiddly small change in your pocket. Or if you do, it'll be worth more than you realise - especially when you discover the $1 and $2 coins!

The exchange rate, by the way, is about US$0.75 to the A$1, or about UK 0.48 to the A$1. Canadians are lucky, it's worth about the same. Everyone else is out of luck - I'm not going to do the whole list here. There's plenty of sites out on the Web that do, though.

5. GST
When you come to actually spend your money, depending on where you come from, you might find it easier to hand the dosh over. While there is a Goods & Services Tax applied to most... err... goods and services, unlike in some parts of the world, the price on the price sticker is what you end up paying - it's not added as an after thought at the register. Which means you can spend all the time you want examining the currency and figuring out exactly what you'll hand over to the shop assistant before you even get to the counter.

6. Tipping
Generally waiters, taxi drivers etc, get paid enough above slave labour wages that they don't expect a tip. Not that they'll resist it if you do happen to feel generous, but they won't drop a soggy sponge on your lap or drive off with your luggage if you don't.

I confess I'm not so sure about hotel doormen, porters and other blokes in big hats and bright suits. Can't say I've ever availed myself of their services.

7. Dangerous creatures - crocodiles, snakes, spiders
Indoors or outdoors, there's a load of lethal fauna just waiting to get its fangs into your flesh. Some of the things to watch out for include snakes, spiders, alligators, and documentary film crews.

If a snake or spider bites you, scream for medical help immediately. Something like "Oh Jesus Christ, I just got bitten by a snake/spider the size of a bus!!" should do the trick. If a crocodile bites you and there's enough of you left to seek medical help, then by all means, also seek medical help.

Documentary film crews are generally harmless as long as you stay in focus and don't go too near the camera.

And if you do need emergency help, the number to call from any phone is 000. Just think "oooh, I need help!"*

8. Sunscreen
The hole in the ozone layer may be getting slightly smaller these days, but it's still there. And even if it wasn't, the sun packs enough of a punch to make picking up skin cancer easier in Australia than just about anywhere else in the world. So if you'll be in the sunshine for more than 4.5 milliseconds, especially in the summer, make sure you slop on a generous dollop of sunscreen, and even better, a shirt and hat will help too.

9. Driving on the left
Unless you come from Great Britain or Japan or one of those other countries where cars drive on the left of the street, this may confuse you for a few days. You'll find yourself getting into the wrong side of the car, or if you're attempting to drive, maybe even driving on the wrong side.

You might also find yourself looking the wrong way before you cross the street, and don't be too surprised if occasional outbursts like "hey, that dog's driving a car!" pass your lips*. But you'll get used to it. Just remember: Right is wrong, and left is right.

10. Electricity
Electricity in Australia is 240 volts. What this means is that if you come from a country where the electricity is a wimpy 110 volts, and you try to plug something in, all sorts of fun stuff might happen.

Thankfully for international jetsetters such as yourselves, most shavers, camcorders and other travel necessities are equipped with incredibly sophisticated electronics to enable them to work with different voltages. You'll still need a power point adapter to cope with the weird and arcane arrangement of pins - these are easily obtainable for about $8-9 from shops selling travellers' paraphernalia.

Question for UK

UK, When you say, "As the sun rises first over on that side of the world...," are you simply referring to the fact that for the Southern Hemisphere it is now Summer (hence the days are longer) or are you saying....hmmm I don't know. What ARE you saying? I'm curious.

RE: Plastic money.. no joke

Gete,

It's interesting you should bring up the matter of currency. Just the other day here in the US I heard a piece on the radio about the challenges of the future facing the government---presumably all governments, not just the US---in regard of counterfeiting. With the advent of the digital age of reproduction counterfeiters will be able to make not only good copies of currency, but identical ones.

This brings up the matter of the "plastic currency" of which you speak. From the report I heard it would appear you Aussies are in the vanguard. The US Gov. guy suggested that since counterfeiters will be capable of making identical copies of notes, the future will require official notes will have to be made of materials--such as plastic---that can transmogrify, i.e. literally change shape in the hand of the bearer! The test of authenticity will have something to do with the internal microchips' capacity for changing the given shape into some shape that passes the muster of a test that proves it isn't counterfeit!

Money is a curious thing in its own right. One economist described it as, “a dream that all of mankind is having at once.” Dream or no dream, see if the ticket guy at the movies will give you one if you don’t have the money! Still, it’s a far cry from mankind’s earliest use money, or something to represent value. We no longer exchange cattle or crops. The use of paper money has long supplanted coins and the idea that paper money is backed by an equivalent of silver or gold has long been abandoned as a fiction. It was even a fiction in my childhood when the US one dollar bill still said at the bottom, “Silver Certificate. Payable to the bearer on demand.” Coins previously made of precious metals are now made of compounds or contain no precious metal at all!

Money, like so many aspects of experience, has become more and more abstract. (In fact one host here told me she found CC comforting because she could “abstract” herself. I’m sure she meant “distract”, but it seems to be ‘right on the money’—no pun intended—here!) Money is now a largely intangible electronic affair. Billions of dollars, euros, yen, Swiss francs, pounds, etc. are traded daily around the world, yet there is not so much as a shred of paper or a coin that is physically exchanged. Bonds are issued that represent debt. Then there are “derivatives” which “derive” their value from these already secondary representations of worth. They are, in effect, abstractions of abstractions. Indeed the world’s bankers are so convinced by the tangibleness of derivatives that some years ago a Nobel Prize was awarded to an economist for his work on derivatives. This prompted Barron’s astute and humorous columnist, Alan Ableson, to remark, “Awarding a Nobel Prize for derivatives is like awarding the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work on commas.” Lol!

So, it’s a ‘brave new world.’ As the French say, “Bon courage!”

"Plastic money, along with self-adhesive stamps, are two of the things we keep getting told are a world first."

wikipedia says:
"In 1983, Costa Rica and Haiti issued the first Tyvek and the Isle of Man issued the first Bradvek polymer (or plastic) banknotes"

and:
"They were first issued in the 1960s, by such tropical climates as Sierra Leone and Tonga in an attempt to avoid the tendency of traditional water-activated stamps to stick together in humid conditions. They also made diecutting into fanciful and unique shapes easier.
"The United States Postal Service's first foray into self-adhesive stamps was in 1974 with the 10-cent dove weathervane."

They are not trying to scare you love. They are trying to enlighten you. A host must be very pretty, intelligent, patient and poised with a good mastery of English, a sense of humor and a hint of naughtiness to pull off true non-adult. Even then she realizes there are constant sexual overtones of any contact at CC and she uses it to her advantage. I don't know if you have all of these factors going for you. Most host dont so they follow the path of least resistance and flash a little flesh to some degree.

thinking again:

This is what my grand dad told me:
marriage is a sham for men, there is no benefit, if you are about to get married think it over, don't let your dick do your thinking for you, don't let your punch-drunk i'm in love euphoria put you on auto pilot, you will wake up in hell of a hangover staring at this woman who will control your life.
this is what my mother told me;
son find a good woman and share your love and blessings to her always be polite, caring, sharing, and giving always. Have a family and caring on your name thru-out generations to come and dont forget to do other things with her besides having sex all the time.

***hmm now im confused, do i listen to my grand dad or my mother, if i listen to my grand dad i wont have any benefits and that's not a good thing and if i listen to my mother im not sure i can be that good.
Hmmm,, decisions, decisions, decisions, maybe i should just think about it a little longer

1. Womens pressure guy for marriage
2. Man delays
3. Womanl gradually starts destroying man's self-esteem and eliminating his friends.
4. Man becomes too weak and much of a loser to find something better than what he has
5. Woman starts to limit sex, in effect controlling the only good thing this in the man's life
6. Man is in despair, capitulates to marriage.
So then 10 years later the man is empty, because woman loves happily ever after and man becomes bald and has af heart attack at 45 years of age. So my advice to you son -party on and put wedding on hold

1. Because doctors deal with people when they are vulnerable and at a low ebb they often come across as being kind and caring.

2. They earn a lot of money.

3. He may have already seen you naked (or more if he's a ObGyn)and so you won't feel embarrased getting naked in front of him at home.

Joke involving nurses

A nurse, who is not particularly attractive, is attending a male patient. While bathing him she is slightly shocked to find that he has the word S W A N tatooed on the shaft of his dick. When she returns to the nurses station, she tells her colleague, who is a very attractive nurse,"You know that guy in 317? I just bathed him. He's got the word S W A N tatooed on the shaft of his dick!!" Looking somewhat surprised her colleague responds, "I took care of him last night, but I seem to recall the tatoo was S A S K A T C H E W A N." lol!

RE: host question

Some years ago I remember reading yet another "study"----so we can take it with a grain of salt perhaps---of rates of sexual promiscuity among women in various professions. As I recall, women in the nursing profession were among the most promiscuous. How the study was done or how the conclusions were arrived at, I have no idea, but it does seem more likely that nurses would be more given to indulging in the pleasures of the flesh than say women accountants or "employee benefits coordinators." lol!

Indecent Exposure!!

Lol INYF!! Don't tell me you have neighbors that have called the police because they have seen you 'sans vêtements'?!!

It brings to mind the joke about the old lady who calls the police to report an indecent exposure. When the cop arrives at her house he asks, "Can you show me what you're talking about?" "Yes," she said, "Look out that window over there." The cop then looks out the window and says, "Lady, I don't see anything." A bit impatiently she responds, "Stand on that chair, you'll see what I mean." lol!

RE: quick quiz

lol...

a lot of those questions have multiple answers :P or need to be explained and expanded upon in the context department :P

eg, merry go rounds, i've seen and been on ones that go clock wise and anti clockwise
the arm and leg movement... depends on which is more comfortable/natural for each person
the drain question... two answers, both correct depending on which hemisphere the person is in
the no smoking sign... you could say 7 o clock to 1 o clock, or the other way round

lol

I can't remember ever seeing a merry-go-round that goes anti-clockwise.

RE: Merry Go Rounds

Really? You made me think, because I can't recall seeing Merry Go Round that goes clockwise. Check out this site:

Of the 400+ images, I only saw a few that ran clockwise. Seems the overwhelming majority run conterclockwise.

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.
Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt". (Are you doubting this?)
Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.
The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)
The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). (Yep, I knew you were going to "do" this one.)
There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. (You're not doubting this, are you?)
There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious." (Yes, admit it, you are going to say . a e i o u)
TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out)
A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.
A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. (Some days that's about what my memory span is)
A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.
A snail can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
Babies are born without kneecaps They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.
February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.

If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.
Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors.
Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!
Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.
The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.
The cruise liner, QE2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.
The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. (Good thing he did that)
The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid.
There are more chickens than people in the world.
Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance.
Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
Now you know everything!

RE: think u know everything??

imshy, Thanks for these interesting facts. I feel so much better now that I know everything! lol! This reminds me of Mark Twain's quip about Rudyard Kipling. He said, "Between us we cover all knowledge; he knows all that can be known, and I know the rest." lol!!

To add to your list, I recall reading that there are only, I think, 3 or 4 words in the English that have two meanings that are opposite of one another. I only remember one: "cleave," which means to split or divide, but also to adhere, cling or join together.

Btw, what was your source for these amusing facts. Speaking of such, perhaps you know it took about 70 years to complete the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). It was begun in the 1850's and completed in, I believe, 1927. Another interesting fact: the second largest contributor (i.e. of words and their definitions) was an American who was an inmate of an insane asylum in England.

Lastly, if you or anyone is a lover of langauges, I recommend a very interesting website: Omniglot.com. Its author is a Brit from Brighton named Simon Ager. He's a dynamic guy and real polyglot. He speaks 12 languages. After his native tongue, the foreign language he speaks best is Mandarin Chinese! His blog is always interesting and there is a new forum as well. It is a very rich resource for anyone interested in languages. Guests are from all over the world and they range from professional linguists and language teachers to those just curious about foreign languages.

So from now on womon, when I say 'Bell one', I want you to strip naked. When I say 'Bell two', you jump on de bed. When I say 'Bell three', we's gonna mek love all tru de night girl." The next night he came home and shouted: "Bell One!", and his wife stripped naked. "Bell Two!", and she jumped on the bed. "Bell Three!", and they started to make love.
After a few minutes, the wife yelled out "Bell Four!".
"Womon ... What da hell is 'Bell Four'?", he asked.
She replied "Roll out more hose, mon. You ain't nowhere near da fire!!!!"

Get Your Very Own Aristocratic Title

Scrolling back to 27 Feb, I happened on a post by "King of Kings." Following the thread, I found many there of divine or aristocratic origin, including, The Lord God, IcePrinc3ss, Madam Buckets and Bucket's Lord. Not feeling worthy to be in their company, I sought and was granted a title by Lady Fortune of the Absurd. You too can get your title by visiting: http://www.masquerademaskarts.com/memes/yourtitle.php

Getting stronger with age

Two drunks in a bar, the first one says,, ya know, when i was 30 and got a hard on, i couldn't bend it with either of my hands. By the time i was 40, i could bend it about 10 degrees if i tried really hard. By the time i was 50. i could bend it about 20 degrees with no problem. I'm gonna be 60 next week, and now i can almost bend it in half with just one hand. So, says the 2nd drunk,,, whats your point?..Well, says the first, "I'm just wondering how much stronger I'm gonna get"

Hmm interesting point.. Well most probably I would be doing what I was doing before I found CC (a happy accident believe it or not)

CC did not open up new horizons, as such, for me only extended my network of friends across 2 more continents than I had before.

But then again I am part of that 'ZX' generation who caught the first emerging of what the internet is today. And I have (what seems) been around an awful long time online. ;) I still contend there was more personality to encounters before webcams and the like but it is just the way I was brought up I guess. Words to me quite often can say more than pictures sometimes do but hey , what do I know, huh? ;)
