I just realized something... Intensity really is going down the toilet, because when enough people think it's happening, it actually will happen. It's self-fulfilling.

What's funny is that WHY people think this happens differs.


But there seems to a lot going on in the threads discussing how we can stop it going down the toilet- perhaps by acknowledging something has started to happen you can prevent it? It has to work better than the head in the sand 'there is no problem' approach.

Oh yes. I didn't say it's irreversible.

Which is why I think all the talk this week has been good (or at least has the potential to be) for Intensity.

Yes. And as such, the discussions have made the site more interesting. It's a good thing--people are passionate enough about this place to speak their minds.

Fascinating discovery from the Middle Kingdom:

Quote from: USA Today

Three ancient Egyptian sarcophagi unearthed


CAIRO (AP) — Archaeologists have uncovered three wooden pharaonic sarcophagi, dating back to the 20th century B.C., the chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities said on Saturday.
"The three sarcophagi were found in a very well preserved condition inside three burial shafts," Zahi Hawass, the council chief, told The Associated Press.

He described the discovery as "very unique and very important."

The find took place early this week at a site south of the Saqqara pyramids, about 16 miles south of Cairo, he said.

The first sarcophagi dates back to Egypt's 1500 B.C.-1000 B.C. New Kingdom and is a black anthropoid. It carries paintings portraying the four sons of the falcon-headed god Horus and its inscription says it to belongs to a person called "Waya-ly."

Anthropoid, or person-shaped, coffins were particularly important to Ancient Egyptians, who believed them to act as a substitute body for use after death.

The second and the third sarcophagi date back to the Middle Kingdom, 4,000 years ago, and are decorated with black pieces of glass.

"There have been few artifacts dated to the Middle Kingdom found so far," Hawass said. "It will enlarge our knowledge about the Middle Kingdom, and fill the gap of information about the Egyptian civilization."

The Japanese archaeological mission has been working in Saqqara since early 1990s looking for Middle Kingdom tombs.

"I believe that Saqqara site contains more hidden treasures," Hawass added.

it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Looks like RobertN is still getting material to bring this place into a bad light.

Since we already have a forum for Submissions, shouldn't we also have one for Dominance?

Well people can't submit without someone to dominate them, if we split up the Doms and subs how would they ever have any fun?
