Obviously not femmy enough, dear.  Now if only I could get my lipstick

For those who don't know, if one of your grandparents or
parents was born in Ireland, you're eligible for Irish
citizenship.  If you hold an Irish passport, you're entitled
to work anywhere in the European Community (Ireland, Britain,
France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg,
Denmark, Spain, Portugal, and Greece).  Useful to know if you
ever want to work in Western Europe, and you're not otherwise
eligible.  Caveat: your government might not like you having
dual citizenship.  Check your local Irish consulate for more
details if you're interested.

I can vouch that all of this is true.  The fact that I more-or-less
fitted the pattern (I had met only a small number of "nice" men before I
met Muffy) was another reason I had some second thoughts about my
self-identification.  How could I be bi if I wasn't too comfortable
sharing a planet with roughly 99% of the male population?  It's not
as if I could become a lesbian separatist, or anything :-)  I guess
I no longer worry about that, having found that bi-space meets
_at_least_ 2 of my basic needs: a way to meet contact-positive people
(as Clive succinctly put it recently), and a way to meet the small
number of men I feel I can relate to (heck, it even feels like there
are lots of you sometimes .. *grin*).

So *hugs* to all the men I've met who refuse the classic roles
and become human beings instead.  Thanks for being there!

That's why the "Bi Centrists'" position seems puzzling to me.  I picked
up their flyer at the music festival.  Here's what they say about
themselves: "We're not involved in swinging, threesomes, or very heavy
(as opposed to light) S/M.  We're feminist in our outlook, but politically
moderate ... willing to work with groups on both the Left and the Right
to acheive mutually-beneficial goals"

Now this DOES seem to me a group that's trying to distance itself from
swingers, polyamorous folks, SM people.  And the Left.  I ask, is there
ANYBODY on the Right that likes bi's at all?

I don't know if S. Kendrick really meant to sound preachy.  It's a danger
to go too pc-Left, but this "centrism" seems another weird pc-ness.

>Ciaran.

Maybe the Bi Centrists are really ok - there's certainly a need for all
kinds of activism.  But although I don't identify as swinger, or SM, a 
statement excluding them smells a wee bit malodorous, no?

Per certo io ho in mentedi fare come tesi una INTERFASE PER CONVERTIRE

   Q: They just announced on the radio that the United States has invaded
   Iraq.  Should I post?

   A: Of course.  The net can reach people in as few as 3 to 5 days.
   It's the perfect way to inform people about such news events long
   after the broadcast networks have covered them.  As you are probably
   the only person to have heard the news on the radio, be sure to post
   as soon as you can.
   .....

At least one group of people misread the above as a *real* report
rather than as a comment on Michele's posting.  To the best of my
knowledge, the US has not (yet again) invaded Iraq.  I assume that the
selected quotation was intended by Pietro to point out that it is
considered somewhat dumb to post "hard news" stories to the net.

Unfortunately, not everyone immediately caught the satire in the
included answer.  

Users who have never read the whole article, or who have not read the
other introductory articles in news.announce newusers should do so.
That may help prevent future such misunderstandings.

Si', ciucci a milioni, in tutti i colori ed in tutte le taglie. Fortissimi,
la gente ci fa collane e bracciali, oppure li mette in portachiavi.

L'altra cosa molto "in" sono gli Scuba Swatch. In Italia  (e pare anche in 
moltri altri paesi) se ne trovano pochissimi ed a prezzi alti ( L.100,000-160,000 ).

Sono stato in Svezia questa settimana dove li trovi praticamente dappertutto
ed in tutti i modelli (anche quello nero e quello con il cinturino in pelle).
E li' costano L.45,000 tax free... 

PS: L'articolo originale di Miranda probabilmente voleva una discussione
    sui problemi dell'Italia, ma noi abbiamo preferito parlare dei ciucci...

Q: They just announced on the radio that the United States has invaded
Iraq.  Should I post?

A: Of course.  The net can reach people in as few as 3 to 5 days.
It's the perfect way to inform people about such news events long
after the broadcast networks have covered them.  As you are probably
the only person to have heard the news on the radio, be sure to post
as soon as you can.
