No I am not uncomfortable about it, because of the same reason that I am not uncomfortable about JJR Tolkein writing about hobbits even though I have it on good authority that he is not a hobbit; and because Dame Judi Dench playing Elisabeth I in Shakespeare is OK even though she is certainly not royalty; and for the same reason that I am OK with Shekhar Kapoor directing Elisabeth, a movie about a woman, even though the director is a man, sports a beard, and some have seen glimpses of his jewels in some of the pool scenes in his early movies. Sidney Sheldon writes primarily about female charecters, even though he is a man.

WHY should we presume that only gay writers have a mono[poly over gay writing, and only gayactors can play charecters. its just silly.

Jimmy -

Even without these stunning numbers and facts you have every right to be
proud to be an Indian..

and Every person has a right to be proud of all humanity..

Proud of humanity's overall drive to develop universal security and
happiness through the exercise of knowledge..

Despite momentary bumps in the road...such as South Asia's
currentdisenfranchisement of its women and rural population from the tools
to create security and happiness for themselves in the 21st century...the
overall path of the development of world society over the past thousands of
years has been has always been in apositive direction..

Your time may not feel good for you at the moment...but always have faith
that your good actions though not very beneficial to you in your life will
definitely improve the life of all humans in the future,,

So be proud of yourself as a good human too..

Best.

Paul -

I take it that you are not Transgendered..

But the universality of an idea is exposed when the idea 'transcend' base
individual or sectarian material realities such as those you have
mentioned..

The movie you have outlined can be readily found on gay web cams, at gay
cruising sitesand in gay porno films...but none of those 'art' forms seem
to have been accepted anywhere in the dominant culture as being worthy of
universal introspection and acceptance..

g_b Wednesday's Woe

2006-01-03 Thread asfan

An 80-year-old man is having his annual check-up. The doctor asks him how he's feeling. " I've never been better," he replies. "I've got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant with my child! What do you think about that?" The doctor considers this for a moment,
then says, "Well, let me tell you a story. I know a guy who's an avid hunter. He never misses a season. But, one day he's in a bit of hurry and he accidentally grabs his umbrella instead of his gun. So he's walking in the woods near a creek and suddenly he spots a beaver in some brush in front of him. He raises up his umbrella, points it at the beaver and squeezes the handle. BAM! The beaver drops dead in front of him." "That's impossible!" said the old man in disbelief, "Someone else must have shot that beaver." " Exactly!"

g_b GB New Year Eve Bash: A rip-off for non alcholics ?

 Jayesh D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Non-alcoholics (those who don't consume alcoholic beverages at GB 
Parties) always get an unfair deal at GB parties but for them 
yesterday's New Year Bash was a total rip-off. In a deluge of 
expensive booze available at no extra cost, non-alcoholics (hence 
forth referred to as NAs) had to shell out more for every drop of 
comparative cheaper fruit-juice and mineral water. The only thing 
that NA's could consume unlimited were the so-called 'aerated 
waters'.

Are you including soft drinks in aerated waters? Because regular 
(not diet) soft drinks were certainly available as part of the 
package. And I don't know why your Coke was warm Rani, because ice 
was not in short supply.

OK, being a bit more serious now, I will acknowledge that in general 
you have a point. GB hasn't been that fair to non-drinkers and we 
are certainly not consistent about following up promises of 
mocktails. There are reasons for this, which I'll get into in a 
moment, but I accept your point that we haven't been fair here.

I do want to point out though that I don't see why you have such 
grounds for complaint about this New Years party. Unlike most 
parties where we might give assurances, which aren't honoured, at 
this party we were quite clear in advance what would and would not 
be available. And mocktails, fruit juices, diet sodas, Red Bull and 
mineral water were not.

I specifically remember writing on these lists that this was the 
result of our negotiations with the management for a package that 
could include unlimited drinks and food. In return for agreeing to 
this, the management insisted on taking some items off the list and 
these were the marginally more expensive items like fruit juices and 
diet sodas.

Their argument was that with the small margins they were working on, 
they couldn't risk making an unlimited offer on this, and for better 
or worse we accepted that. Any negotiations over the organisation of 
an event on this scale is going to involve compromises and this is 
where we decided to do so.

You can fairly accuse us of shortselling non-drinkers by doing this, 
but you can't say you didn't know. For this party what was on offer 
was made clear in advance. It seems a bit sad that your entire 
experience of this party, which others seem to have really enjoyed, 
was conditioned by the non-availability of non-alcoholic drinks, but 
if it was so important, than shouldn't you have spared yourself the 
agony and just not come?

Jayesh wrote:

A further more unfair option available to NA's was to exchange 2 
drink coupons for a fruit juice served in 180 - 200 ml. glass again 
topped with ice. The retail price of a 500 ml carton if Real fruit 
juice costs Rs. 90/-. Yesterday, the juice that was earlier included 
in the cover/entry charge had to be bought at Rs. 50/-.

You can't compare fruit juices to alcoholic drinks because the 
volume consumed per drink of the former is more than of the latter. 
A litre of fruit juice is going to go in 4-5 glasses, whereas a 
litre of vodka is going to last for 15-20 glasses. Propotionately 
fruit juices are more expensive to serve per glass and that is why 
they are treated separately by most hotels.

From what I know of the hospitality business, I think there are 
other reasons why non-alcoholic drinks, apart from regular soft 
drinks, provide problems for clubs (but Dee's more professional 
inputs would be appreciated here). There's the greater cost, and if 
one tries to economise by making mocktails in bulk there is the 
problem of both the effort to do so and the fact that such drinks 
aren't as easily stored.

Since its not as easy predicting how many people will want 
mocktails, its hard for clubs to decide how much to prepare in 
advance. And since most of the stuff won't keep that easily, the 
excess is thrown away, causing much more wastage than with alcoholic 
drinks which can be kept for the next party. Its a fact that 
mocktails are a pain for clubs, which is why they prefer not to do 
them.

This is not trying to excuse ourselves for not providing them when 
they are promised (I am not talking about the New Years party here, 
when they weren't promised). Our aim with these parties is to 
produce an experience that is good for both the clients and the 
clubs, so that we are assured of support from both in the future. I 
accept that in this process, and with our general lack of time, we 
may have been too easy on the clubs in this matter. We can only 
promise to try better in the coming year.

Jayesh wrote:

In an era where in alcoholic beverages are the preferred drinks, I 
see no logic in taxing people who do not consume them. Rather it 
makes more business sense to charge more for something that more in 
demand than for something that isn't.
