Oh YEAH?
It turns out you're WRONG!
Ha ha ha check THIS:
Each year an estimated 40,000 unwanted dogs and cats animals are killed in Hong Kong. There simply aren't enough good homes for them all. Even those that are lucky enough to find a home may not be lucky enough to keep it and end up abandoned back in the shelter system again. Many of these animals are bought at pet stores and are of particular breeds. Other equally tragic problems resulting from pet overpopulation include the transformation of some animal shelters into "warehouses", acceptance of neglect and cruelty to animals as a way of life in our society, and the stress that many shelter workers and veterinarians endure as a result of having to euthanise one animal after another. Unfortunately, so many living creatures are cuddled when cute and young, but become abandoned and thrown away when they become inconvenient. Animals who are abandoned and stray, and are able to survive, live in streets and around rubbish bins. These animals can get into trash, defecating in public areas and/or lawns, and spreading disease to other animals. Some scare away or prey upon wildlife, such as birds, in order to survive. They innocently cause anger to people who have no comprehension of their misery or of their needs.In addition to its impact on pet overpopulation, having your pet spayed/neutered provides many medical and behavioral benefits:Spaying greatly reduces chances of breast cancer and eliminates the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer, as well as uterine infectionNeutering prevents testicular tumors in males, helps to prevent other prostate problems, and decreases the likelihood of hernias. Neutered males are less likely to roam, reducing the chance of bite wounds and diseases caused by fightingMaking sure your pets are spayed or neutered helps to reduce some behaviours associated with unsterilised companion animals such as aggressiveness, spraying, roaming, etc. early age spay and neuter.Countless tax dollars currently used to house and euthanise animals each year can be redirected to other programs which

Apparently, URL links and images have a low ENY value. I blame Ripsnort for what's happened.

Is forum getting neutered again?

Hmm, apparently there's a check box you can uncheck after typing out a reply: "Automatically parse URLs: automatically adds http:// and around internet addresses."
It's right between where you enter text and where you hit Submit Reply, so it's REALLY hard to find.

:lol:lol <---posting TWO, while they're still allowed. Thanks, Lazs! I had a good belly laugh when I read that!
Pretty soon, we won't even be allowed to use punctuation. This whole BBS censorship thing has gone way over the top. What happened to freedom of speech? I guess we'll have to move to a British board if we want that. :rolleyes:

Au contraire, mon frère!
When a couple is diagnosed infertile, first thoughts often run to the woman. She's barren. She can't conceive. She's not a "complete" woman because she can't get pregnant. As nature would have it, problems with infertility are equally due to male and female conditions.
Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. Statistics suggest that 35 to 40 percent of the problems are caused by male conditions, another 35 to 40 percent by female conditions, and the last 20 to 30 percent a combination of the two, plus a small percentage of unknown causes.
Men's part in fertilization is quite amazing. About 200 million sperm are mixed with semen to form ejaculate. In most men, 15 to 45 million of these sperm are healthy enough to fertilize an egg, although only 400 survive after a man ejaculates. Only 40 of those 400 reach the vicinity of the egg, surviving the toxic environment of the semen and the hostile environment of the vagina. After another process called capacitation (an explosion that allows the remaining sperm to drill a hole through the tough outer layer of the egg), only one lone sperm reaches the egg for fertilization and conception.
Even though specialists know the causes of male infertility, what's not always known is the cause behind the cause. There are many factors -- lifestyle, genetics, physiology -- that might explain low sperm count, slow sperm mobility, abnormal sperm shape, and so on.
Recent developments in treatment have made fertility possible for many men. But before undergoing any complicated procedures, there are some simple lifestyle changes that can better the odds of a successful conception. (These tips are helpful for any couple trying to conceive, whether or not infertility has been diagnosed.)
Stop smoking cigarettes or marijuana. Smoking tobacco has been linked to low sperm counts and sluggish motility. Long-term use of marijuana can result in low sperm count and abnormally developed sperm.
Decrease your drinking. Alcohol can reduce the production of normally formed sperm needed for a successful pregnancy.
Watch your weight. Both overweight and underweight men can have fertility problems. With too much weight, there can be hormonal disturbances, and when a man's too lean, he can have decreased sperm count and functionality.
Exercise in moderation. Excessive exercise could lower your sperm count indirectly by lowering the amount of testosterone in your body. And as you might have guessed, stay off the steroids -- they can cause testicular shrinkage, resulting in infertility.
Value your vitamins. Low levels of vitamin C and zinc can cause sperm to clump together, so keep your numbers up. Vitamin E can counteract excess free-oxygen radicals, which can also affect sperm quality.
Turn your back on toxins. Landscapers, contractors, manufacturing workers, and men who have regular contact with environmental toxins or poisons (pesticides, insecticides, lead, radiation, or heavy metals) are all at risk of infertility.
Have you ever heard the debate about whether men should wear boxers or briefs? It goes something like this: Briefs are tighter, so it's possible that they can raise your body temperature above the norm for sperm to survive. So if a guy wants to be really fertile, boxers are the way to go. Truth is, this has yet to be scientifically proven. But if you're trying to get pregnant, there's no harm in wearing loose clothing and staying out of hot tubs and saunas.
Since infertility affects one in 25 men these days, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a positive attitude is the way to go if you're considering becoming a father.

I'm betting it had to do with the latest attempt to link the beheading video. Figured Skuzzy is feeling more like a Kindergarden teacher/babysitter of some childish brats rather than a moderator of a BBS. Only takes a few to ruin it for the rest.
I don't know any BBS that (well I don't really know that many) has a total freedom of speech.

Oh yeah?
That's not what I hear:
"... you will have sex play without vaginal intercourse. This will keep sperm from joining egg.
NEARLY 100% EFFECTIVE
pregnancy is possible if sperm are spilled on the vulva
reduces the risk of many sexually transmitted infections — unless body fluids are exchanged through unprotected oral or anal intercourse. Latex or female condoms can reduce risk of infection.
ADVANTAGES
no medical or hormonal side effects
may prolong sex play and enhance orgasm
can be used when no other methods are available
POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES
many people find it difficult to abstain from vaginal intercourse
many people fail to use protection from pregnancy or infections if intercourse takes place
If You Choose
WITHDRAWAL...
... the man will pull his noodle out of the vagina before he “comes” to keep sperm from joining egg.
73-96% EFFECTIVE (NEARLY 100% WITH CONDOM)*
pregnancy is possible if sperm are spilled on the vulva
not effective against sexually transmitted infections — use latex or female condoms to reduce the risk
*The low end of the effectiveness range is for typical use — failure rates for people whose use is not consistent or always correct. The high end of the effectiveness range is for perfect use — failure rates for people whose use is consistent and always correct.
ADVANTAGES
can be used when no other method is available
POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES
requires great self-control, experience, and trust
not for men who ejaculate — “come” — prematurely
not for men who don’t know when to pull out
not recommended for teens
If You Choose
STERILIZATION...
... you will have a procedure to keep sperm from joining egg.
Tubal sterilization — intended to permanently block woman's tubes where sperm join egg
Vasectomy — intended to permanently block man's tubes that carry sperm
99.5-99.9% EFFECTIVE
Not effective against sexually transmitted infections — use latex or female condoms to reduce the risk.
ADVANTAGES
permanent protection against pregnancy
no lasting side effects
no effect on sexual pleasure
protects women whose health would be seriously threatened by pregnancy
POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES
risks of minor surgery if incision is made
some people later regret not being able to have children
not usually reversible if you change your mind
rarely, tubes reopen, allowing pregnancy to occur
Tubal sterilization
bruising if incision is made
very rare injury to blood vessels or bowel
pregnancies that rarely occur are more likely to be ectopic (in a fallopian tube)
Vasectomy
infection or blood clot in or near the testicles
temporary bruises, swelling, or tenderness of the apple
sperm leakage may form temporary small lumps near testicles
COST
$2,000-$6,000/ tubal sterilization
240-$520/ vasectomy
(Vasectomy costs less because it is a simpler procedure that can be done in the clinician’s office.)
