Question:
Many terrorist orgs run their outfits as they see fit. Anybody see anything wrong with that? I do. I think there should be a government agency responsible for regulating terrorist organizations. And they should be subject to income taxes. The IRS would end the War on Terror in a couple of months.
Nah. They’d act to maximise the tax stream. Can’t go killing that golden goose.

Response:
There were several subplots going on that particular episode… some of which actually have some significance to some of the things discussed in newsgroups from time to time.
That’s good to know. Rita

Many terrorist orgs run their outfits as they see fit. Anybody see anything wrong with that? We can only hope that ebay doesnt "see fit" to run their company using lethal force. Or has PP already begun to do that?

Are we talking about running your mouth?
Response:
Considering Rita’s iconoclastic nature, perhaps she is on to something new. HER book should be interesting!
Ah, I see we got a new word? How long did it take you to Google that one? And no, I just state the facts. It’s that some people have a hard time grasping the truth. When I write a book you will get the first autographed copy. Rita
Response:
For anyone who watches South Park… there was an episode about what might happen if you pack food into a different orifice…
That must have been one hell of a smorgasbord? I’ll have to ask my son since he has the DVD collection. Rita
Response:
The occasional impacted turd can play havoc on the waistline. I am so wishing I hadn’t asked for that response!
Sorry, that was in honor of our backpacking members of A.M.O.E. and they know who they are. I’m an avid runner and try to stay active. I hate putting on a couple pounds. I tried being in shape a couple of times… fairly recently even… and it’s not so hard to do… It was maybe a year ago and I was running 6-8 miles a day about every other day, not so much because it was fun but because it was good exercise.
It does feel great and can be good fun if you know how to entertain yourself while running alone. A good running partner is a must. …but ultimately I realized that I was only trying to be in shape for other people and their opinions of me… and not for how I really felt about myself… Literally working my ass off to please others, when I felt exactly the same no matter what I looked like… so while I’m trying not to return to complete gluttony… I believe I’ve now once-and-for-all lost the fascination with trying to be in shape n the way society thinks I should be.
That’s just the wrong attitude. Never do something to please others. Do what you do for yourself and enjoy it. It’s nice to look in the mirror and say Godamn I’m one sexy….. Rita
Response:
Are we talking about running your mouth?
Sure, but if you want to run I got a couple stacks of $100 bills that says I can put your dick in the dirt. Rita
Response:
Naah… Not in danger of being hot now or then… but I’ve always been comfortable looking at myself in the mirror. Granted, being in shape has its advantages sometimes, and clothes sometimes fit better… but overall attitude and success in society have not come to me or gone running away from me no matter what shape I was in.
Don’t count yourself out too quickly as you don’t know what young lady has her eye on you. For me, being in shape simply makes me feel better. I sure as hell won’t go out of my way to impress others since I gave that up in high school. The only reason I was doing a lot of what I was doing, really was at the suggestion of others, and it was the only way to shut them up when they would say "do this and things will be better" and I would always say that it didn’t make a difference… sometimes you have to prove a point by proving the point… and now I can go back to being me, and not worrying about what other people think.
That’s the whole point; you should have been yourself from the start. I do what I do for my pleasure and no one else’s. The only other person I like to look good for is my hubby. He appreciates it. Rita

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Why not? We are Americans and we aren’t responsibly for *OUR* actions. This book only confirms that fact. Hey, you forgot to mention that this only applies to us here in the US… People in the rest of the world are responsible for THEIR actions. It’s just us who aren’t to blame for ours… What’s making Americans fat is they have a glutton’s insatiable urge to pack things in all their orifices for pleasure. We got people packing so much food in their mouths in one sitting that they can feed a third world family a week with the same amount of food. I could be wrong, but I *think* that only packing one orifice (the mouth) will have the result of getting fat… I don’t think you can gain weight packing any other orifice

Otherwise, the book has been "well received," but still Kennedy is fuming saying, "Ebay’s becoming an arrogant company, they’re just doing whatever they want. It sets a bad precedent when you start banning books."
I’m surprised. eBay does allow books like those by a controversal photographer Will McBride or Sally Mann (known for kiddie porn) but not a book blaming drug company. — To reply, replace digi.mon with phreaker.net

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Wireless Flash) — A new book criticizing the pharmaceutical industry for causing the obesity epidemic has been banned for auction by Ebay who won’t give a reason why. The controversial book, "Why is America So FAT? "(Rlk Press), is critical of the pharmaceutical company as well as the FDA for making Americans plump and lists many fat-inducing prescription drugs. Author Ben Kennedy claims Ebay didn’t give him a good reason why they wont auction his book, but instead "gave me b.s." of what the "b.s." reason was. Could be anything from selling ebook version, to putting the website in the auction in the wrong way. The most likely cause is an IP violation complaint by the author or publisher. The situation probably has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with eBay.
Err, the author was the one that released the above press statement.

Why not? We are Americans and we aren’t responsibly for *OUR* actions. This book only confirms that fact. The controversial book, "Why is America So FAT?

What’s making Americans fat is they have a glutton’s insatiable urge to pack things in all their orifices for pleasure. We got people packing so much food in their mouths in one sitting that they can feed a third world family a week with the same amount of food. We even got people packing things in their ass when they can use that orifice more productively for better things. Hell, let the neighborhood squirrels pack their nuts in there for the winter. Author Ben Kennedy claims Ebay didn’t give him a good reason why they wont auction his book, but instead "gave me b.s."
Since the much-needed removal of categories in the book section, this book no longer has a valid purpose. He speculates one reason is the wife of the founder of Ebay worked for a pharmaceutical company and the book doesn’t shed the best light on the industry.
And all this time I thought she was an eBay shill. Ebay’s priorities may be inconsistent as Kennedy wonders, "They have no problem with listing pornographic material, but they do with my book."
Good pornography can be used as a drop cloth to catch… This book doesn’t even have any absorbent characteristics and won’t even make good toilet paper. Otherwise, the book has been "well received," but still Kennedy is fuming saying, "Ebay’s becoming an arrogant company, they’re just doing whatever they want.

Well received by whom? Rita

That is just 1 more reason for another company to start a new auction site. Maybe in the next few years there will be a good Ebay alternative online.
