    No, I didn't see 'ol Carl. What's he talking about?

    Interesting that only one month after the import ban was placed on the
    AK-47, there is already a black market for them. Capitalism at work, I
    guess. Asshole politicians can't understand that the same thing applies to
    drugs.

    I read your story briefly as it was downloading and then again later and
    then again! Terrific! You definately have writting talent and ought to
    persue (sp? ha) it. I also liked Deans and he has talent too - however,
    didn't enjoy it as much because it's the kind of story that I'm not crazy
    about - sort of Dungeons & Dragons - you know. My story was not meant to be
    the least bit funny! Sometimes I feel the moralist would like to see the
    Inquisition come back and the burning at the stake of all the heretics!
    See you later. -=*) ANN (*=-

     First of all Ben, welcome to Apollo $tatus!
    The answer to your question is yes, this SIG is for those users of Apollo
    who have $tatus. In other words, those who feel, as you apparently do, that
    this BBS is worth at least $10 a year. One of the things we get for our
    money is access to SIGS such as this. You may also enjoy the CHRistian SIG,
    since I see that you also claim Jesus as your Saviour.
     The topics here are not too much different than they are on the main BBS.
    It's just not quite as crowded, and we (in our vanity) like to think that
    the quality of message content here is a bit better at least.
     Good to have you with us, and once again, welcome. God bless.

      Comparing the stories submitted by Ann and Rod, I think that Ann is the
    clear winner in the shortness category and also in the smallest number
    of Apollo members killed.
      Rod wins the sexual content category hands down, and deserves honorable
    mention in the category of not singling out Jim Lippard to die for a
    book in which his name does not appear.
      On my own behalf, mine still has the more subtle approach to brow
    beating the reader, and a funnier ending.
      I am anxious to see more.

            Go to the [L]ibrary and [D]own load them just like all the other IBM
    software you have been downloading, except: (A) use the [A]SCII mode instead
    of [X]modem and :(B) you will not find the stories listed so just ask for by
    them by name:   For the Dean Hathaway story ask for     DEANH.TXT
                    For the Ann Oudin story aks for         ANNOASSP.TXT
                    For the Rod Williams story ask for      RODW.TXT
            So far that is it.... I hope to see a few more..............

    I do not expect to see a story from you Ben since you do NOT know the users
    yet and would not know how to place them.  But do enjoy the reading.  Once
    you get to know them, you will understand their character portrayal in the
    stories much better.

    I must agree that the USA has its share of problems, but the ones you

    priority.  The violent crime has to be very high on the list.  When I can

    Actually you are quite wrong...  There is nothing wrong with Bush Company
    and other places of it's nature.  Just as there is nothing wrong with women
    going to Chippendale shows.  When sexuality is repressed, no good can come
    of it.

    That is also why prostitution should be legalized.  While I would guess that
    prostitition is main for the sake of men, women can surely have their fun
    also.

    Does one women showing her body ruin all women?  Anyway, what is wrong with
    someone showing their assets?

    Hawley is right.  Besides, if prostitution and the like are not allowed, how
    is someone like him supposed to get any sexual satisfaction?

    How is anyone's freedom diminished by beauty contests, the Sports
    Illustrated swimsuit issue, and so forth?  I do not know of anyone who is
    forced to engage in such activity.

         A 12-year-old reporter for 'Childrens Express' did ask Dan Quayle, "If
    my father raped me, and I became pregnant, could I get an abortion then?"
    Quayle said no.  The girl said, "But my life would be ruined."  Quayle said,
    "You could get counseling."
         On another occasion, Quayle was asked, "If the woman who was raped by
    Willie Horton had become pregnant, would you approve of an abortion?"
    Quayle answered that "She could go to the hospital right away and get a D. &
    C., which would be different from an abortion."

         I have done the best I know how, and I have given all I can give and I
    haven't got any guilt about anything because I have never been able to say
    any wrong.
         I have never found any wrong.
         I looked at wrong, and it is all relative.
         Wrong is if you haven't got any money.
         Wrong is if your car payment is overdue.
         Wrong is if the TV breaks.
         Wrong is if President Kennedy gets killed.
         Wrong is, wrong is, wrong is - you keep on, you pile it in your mind.
    You become belabored with it, and in your confusion.....
         I make up my own mind.  I think for myself.  I look at you and I say,
    "Okay, you make up your own mind, you think for yourself, then you see your
    mothers and your fathers and your teachers and your preachers and your
    politicians and your presidents, and you lay in your brain with your
    opinions, considerations, conclusions --"
    And I look at you and I say, "Okay, if you are real to you it's okay with me
    but you don't look real to me."

    And I am glad that as a man, you agree! Most men write it off because they
    think these things are just great. Why not? It's certainly for them and not
    the women! I've kind of always thought that it ought to be the same for the
    women - nude male dancers, hunks advertizing cereal etc. etc. but have
    changed my mind. Then men would loose some of their freedom and who needs to
    watch a TV commercial for toothpaste with a naked man looking into the
    camera with a come hither look letting the females know that if they use
    this kind of toothpaste, this is what they'll get. Ha ha. Anyway - if I want
    to see sex, all I need do is go rent a movie of my choice or I can go in one
    of those adult books stores. But sex is over done and getting boring.

    To be honest, I'm not all that against places like the Bush Co. and
    Chippendales. If that's what people want to go see, I don't care. But
    sometimes, I still wonder why we need places like that. Whats the real
    purpose. Turn on? If so, why? You can't take it home with you!
    Re: prostitution - I've always been for legalizing it. If that's the way a
    woman wants to make a living, that ought to be up to her. BTW - there is one
    thing I DON'T agree with - Prostitutes do not have fun doing it. It is a
    degrading job legal or not. I hardly think the 'Johns' treat them with the
    utmost respect and neither does society.
    Your last comment - "what is wrong with a woman showing her assets?"
    A woman has many assets. She not just a piece of tail. However, sometimes
    they act like thats all they are. -=*) ANN (*=-

    It is all so totally silly. Why should a woman parade herself around in a
    bathing suit and be judged on whether she's better looking than the other
    women? She gets all sorts of awards, fame and glory for nothing other than
    being born to look the way she does. Also, where is MR. America contests?
    Lets judge the men on their looks alone? Lets strip him down and put him on
    display. Forget his brain, just look at the pectorals, his chest, his bulge!
    Re: the Swim suit edition - that's even sillier. What are all these 'air
    brushed' pictures of women, posed provocatively, with a look on their faces
    like 'come and get it' got to do with sports? I'm talking football, baseball
    etc. here! I've seen hunting magazines with beautiful women in string
    bikinis on the front, holding a rifle in one hand and the antlers of a dead
    buck in the other like she shot it herself in that get up. Whats the
    purpose? -=*) ANN (*=-

    How do you know that prostitutes don't enjoy their jobs?  Maybe *you* would
    not enjoy doing it.  I don't think that people working at McDonalds could
    enjoy it at all.  They are degrading themselves, working for low wages with
    little hope for real advancement.  Despite that, many people do enjoy
    working at McDonalds.

    I could probably dig up some references to prostitutes who enjoy their job.

    Fine, so you do not care for beauty contests or pictures of women in
    swimsuits.  You are free to have your own tastes.  But you have yet to
    explain how any of this diminishes anyone's freedom.  Has anyone held you at
    gunpoint and forced you to participate in a beauty contest?

            Crime on the street is caused by a corrupt society.  Crime filters
    down from the top and ends up in the street.  We're not going to see less
    crime in the streets, even if we build 10,000 new prisons, until we have
    intelligent people in government.  I fear that this won't come to pass
    during this life time.  Politicians are not good examples nor are our
    so-called religious leaders.  I'm afraid we're #%^@#@.   -Rod

    quickly???  I was led to believe (by you) that you were better than everyone

            Black female and white male.... so what does that have to do with
    ending the discrimination problem?  You are not consistent in your logic
    Boanhead (can I call you that)......  First you claim we are ALL brother and

            Okay, fart face, I will tell you.

    My story has two endings.  One you saw, the other takes longer.  Listen,
    there is high tech computer, radio, television, and assorted equipment
    aboard the shuttle.  The two surviving people would not face the same
    problems that our earlier ancestors faced.  They, because of no real
    technology or ways to get around easily, were trapped in the same
    environment for centuries.  Take the people in Africa, they lived in a sun
    baked desert, developed dark skin in order to survive and of course
    developed their own distinct language.  People stuck in all different climes
    developed their own language.  With the shuttle's equipment, these two new
    Adam and Eves could keep in touch with their newly created tribe.
    The language would remain the same, a mixture of Russian and English.  This
    would prevent misunderstandings down the road.  People would not be as
    suspicious of each other if they understood the same language.  The Indians
    of the American Plains fought the cowboys because of a great class
    distinction.  Hell, a new bible could be written even, explaining that all
    people are from Cliff and Yasmin and are borther and sister.  That would all
    that would be necessary in that book except one could thrown in some good
    common sense.  But with the equipment avaliable, a new and better world
    could be set up, avoiding man's earlier mistakes.  If everyone today knew
    that they were brother and sister in the flesh, then this would affect our
    relationships with each other.  Hope this answers your questions, buttface.
    A rush of other ideas occured to me, for later.   -Rod
