Two Dads, One ballet dancing son, Infinite gayness

Ballet dancer raised by two dads chases dream – [thestar.com]

Thomas Jones and Rob Gibson are acutely aware that they are setting themselves up for a barrage of “nature versus nurture” jokes whenever they tell people their son is a budding ballet prodigy.

So be it, though. Their adopted offspring, James Gibson-Jones, appears destined for some species of ballet greatness, having been snapped up by the National Ballet of Canada this fall after just two years of lessons.

He began dabbling in dance at the urging of teachers and family friends in Bowmanville, who sensed an affinity for rhythm and performance in the charismatic 11-year-old with the “classic Billy Elliot build.”

Gibson, for one, knows it’s going to raise eyebrows, bringing up the (pink) elephant in the room – actually a typical suburban backyard fraught with excitable golden retrievers – unprompted and in good humour.

“That was the first thing that I thought of,” he chuckles. “Here are the two gay men and their son, the dancer. There are those stereotypes: `We’re recruiting.’ `Only gay men dance.’ Things like that. I just find that incredibly funny. We didn’t even push him in dance. We were thinking gymnastics because he was so flexible.”

Son. You deserve a Unicorn and Rainbow for your efforts.

(se: What is the chance of a son raised by two gay dads would be a ballet dancer? You hear about how parents influence their kids. This is just an example.  So what do we think about kids being raised in gay families?  It’s not that these are bad people, or bad parents.  It’s just that growing up and being a regular kid, making your own decisions, and mistakes are important. A gay couple has their own unique situation and lifestyle, so how does bringing a kid into this really affect the kid.  Is he a straight kids being pushed towards the gay lifestyle? Will his lack of heterosexual experiences and lifestyle lead him to decided to be gay because his parents and their community think it’s right?  I would like to see some comments on this one.)

GTAM: The fall of an Internet forum

Hi.  Welcome to the Internet.

As the Internet has grown, it’s gone from geeks talking about computers, to everyone and their mothers talking about everything and anything.  Including their mothers.  A very popular use of the Internet has been forums. If you like paintball, there is a forum for that. If you are pregnant, fat or have cancer, there are forums for that too. Everything has a forum.  Car forums are one of the most popular it seems, and yes so are the ones for motorcycles.

What you wish you were doing.

Now if you are in the GTA, or pretty much Ontario, and you have a motorcycle, you’ll probably end up checking out GTAmotorcycle.  A forum which seems to link up a lot of the Canadian motorcycle scene. The membership pretty much revolves around sportsbikes. (If you know anything about Canada, you know that Toronto is a poseur city, so riding a sportsbike makes you instantly cool.) You would think this would be a great forum but it’s not.  Useful? No. Helpful? No. Interesting? No.  I could make a whole blog about the things it’s not actually. Is it because it’s small? No. It actually has a lot of members, however if you look at the userlist, many of these users have not logged in since 2008, 2007, and beyond. I would think that currently, there are only about 100 or so active members. Out of these active members, most of them are pretty useless when it comes to the motorcycle community. Here you will find your share of poseurs that buy sportsbikes and sit in front of high traffic areas all day (like coffee shops, bars, nightclubs, etc), women riders (trying to prove themselves), squids (riders without gear, cause it’s hard to look cool with gear on), and noobs (newbie riders that don’t know anything).

Bro! All these chicks must be checking us out.

I am sure this forum was decent at some point in time, but lately what has been happening is that the above people have been joining in droves and have made the forum stupid by talking about, and asking stupid things.  Most of the more knowledgeable and senior riders/users have been having a great time talking shit, and enjoying a laid back tit for tat type of thread structure until recently.

The admins of this forum, Paul Rogers and Cutekill, with their drove of brainwashed mods, have been regulating this forum in such a way that terms like “Nazi” have come back in style.  It’s not that easy on this forum to not be banned for gain an infraction, which leads to a ban.  On other forums you can get away with having a different opinion, calling someone a name, or even disagreeing about something, but not on GTAM.  Since April 2009, personally I have racked up over 50 infractions and over 5 bans.  The last one being a permanent ban.  Do I care?  Not really, but you know sometimes you just want to rag on a noob or something, so you have to find another uncensored forum like SlickKids.com.

Anyhow, the problem is with forums like GTAM is that, everyone has a common interest, it’s 90% guys, and guys like to talk shit.  Specially when it comes to a manly hobby like motorcycles.  One of the problems is that having a girl admin, and a few girls on the forum, they get offended by things that are man things.  In real life as a guy, you can fart in front of your guy friends, but if you were to fart in front of a girl, she would get offended.  This is like GTAM.  You can joke around with your guy friends on the forum, but some girls will get offended and complain, and the girls mods and admin will swiftly step in to give you an infraction or ban.  Paul, where did your balls go?

Hey ladies. I make this bike sexy. Of course I am from Mississauga..

Good question.  Paul has no balls.  Forums that get big will usually quickly sell out on their members.  The people that made the forum so big now no longer matter, because even if they leave, more people will join. So what do you when you get big? Sell advertising, and make sure the advertisers see you as a happy family friendly forums where boys, girls, moms, and dads, can join and ask stupid questions about motorcycles.  Many of these people sign up, ask a stupid question, and then never log on again.  Between the girls complaining, and Paul trying to sell ads, GTAM has become less of a motorcycle enthusiast forum, and more of an interactive FAQ for retards and families.  Not to mention the girls removing all balls from this forum.

Lately GTAM has been a source of controversy as well.  There has been bannings of many popular controversial members, such as D, ressurection, myself, and many many others. As well as infractions handed out left right and center.  If you don’t agree with how the forum is being run, you are to to leave, as it is not open for discussion. Just today another forum member LINK66 was asking for his account to be deleted after he was banned for joking about hitting his favorite mod. LOL is no longer for laughing my friend. Also it seems like a few of the mods have had it with how the site is being run.  Another recent controversy has been a member named R1Timmy.  R1Timmy fell off his bike during a vacation in the US, and was reported to be critically injured. The GTAM community scam artist wanna be even co-oridinator Suzuki_Girl (who supposedly hasn’t been able to co-ordinate anything worth shit) set up a fundraiser with the admins of GTAM for R1Timmy because he was injured so badly, and wrecked his bike, and had hospital bills to pay, and etc sad story.  It ends up that this guy turns up at the fundraiser practically uninjured, his story and injuries were 90% made up, he pocketed the money from the fundraiser, Suzuki_Girl probably pocketed some cash, GTAM got some publicity.  At the end of the day, everyone was pissed off that out of all the bikers that have gone down seriously, or have died during this season had no fundraisers.  Imagine giving your hard earned cash to someone who you thought was laying in a hospital bed all messed up, and meanwhile he’s doing great and attending his own fundraiser walking around?  To make matters worse, R1Timmy won’t respond to the allegations of this being a scam, Suzuki_Girl is lying and backtracking about her involvement (also deleting her own threads and messages), and the admins of GTAM are banning users that ask questions, and deleting posts and threads from people that are wondering about how valid this fundraiser was. Generally the admins spend a lot of time deleting peoples posts and threads if they don’t agree with them, but this came to new lows.

The GTAMotorcycle Forum Logo. Look familiar?

With this much drama, does it really seem that this is what the motorcycle community needs or wants?  There is lots of talk about the forum going downhill, people leaving, and advertisers wondering if it is a good idea to get involved with such a train wreck.

For now, an irc chat channel on DALnet unfortunately named #GTAM has been a popular places for members fleeing the communist GTAM forum.  This includes all your banned favorites, and people that believe in free internet speech. Perhaps when the GTAM is done being a piece of shit #GTAM will be the new hotspot for the GTA’s motorcycle enthusiasts.

VH1 Star, Alleged Killer Ryan Jenkins Found Dead [Crime]

VH1 Star, Alleged Killer Ryan Jenkins Found Dead [Crime]: “

The search for Ryan Jenkins, who appeared on VH1’s Megan Wants a Millionaire and was later accused of murdering his model wife, Jasmine Fiore, has come to a predictable, disturbing end: he’s dead.

Police sources in Jenkins’ native Canada, where authorities believe he fled after murdering Fiore, say that the 32-year old took his own life in a British Columbia hotel room.

‘We were able to determine that it was Ryan Jenkins,’ said Sgt. Duncan Pound of the RCMP’s Federal Border Integrity Program, during an early evening news conference. ‘At this point it would be speculation as to how long he had been there.’

The find came just hours after RCMP said Jenkins was in Canada…

Honestly, we feel a bit cheated on this one: not only are we firm believers that murderers should feel justice’s swift kick, but the brutality of this crime – Fiore’s body was found in a suitcase sans teeth and fingers and was identified via her breast implants – only enhanced our thirst for a relatively happy ending, not a hanging.

Tap Water might make you Gay?

Oddly enough, I was in a bar a few years back and ended having a conversation with an older guy from the Middle East here on vacation, he told me that it was so weird to see so many gay people in Toronto, and that it’s rare to see them back home. He said that the problem in the west was that there are so much contamination in the water from different prescription drugs that it messes with the chemistry in peoples brains.

He told about the birth control pill. He said that it’s basically an overdose of female hormones. He said what do you think happens when you have millions of women passing extreme amounts of female hormones into the water system.

I didn’t think much of it until today when I saw this article. They say that “A sex hormone was detected in the drinking water of San Francisco, California” and “male fish are being feminized, creating egg yolk proteins, a process usually restricted to females”

I’m not homophobic, I’m not a bigot, I’m not trying to hurt anybodies feelings…but…

hrmmm…

Prescription drugs found in drinking water across U.S.

(AP) — A vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows.

To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, measured in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe.

But the presence of so many prescription drugs — and over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen — in so much of our drinking water is heightening worries among scientists of long-term consequences to human health.

In the course of a five-month inquiry, the AP discovered that drugs have been detected in the drinking water supplies of 24 major metropolitan areas — from Southern California to Northern New Jersey, from Detroit, Michigan, to Louisville, Kentucky.

Water providers rarely disclose results of pharmaceutical screenings, unless pressed, the AP found. For example, the head of a group representing major California suppliers said the public “doesn’t know how to interpret the information” and might be unduly alarmed.
