Orgasm's for Peace

[astroBspacedog]

San Francisco Chronicle

"Living on their houseboat off the Marin County coast, anti-war activists Donna Sheehan and her partner, Paul Reffel, concocted a way for the world to communally create a lot of peaceful vibes."

"They want everyone to have an orgasm on the same day."

"On Dec. 22, they're asking the world to contribute to the Global Orgasm for Peace. Sheehan said not to worry if you don't have a partner."

"snip"
"Once you've committed, there's even a secret sign to show others that you plan to take part: Flash the universal "OK" sign and wink. Or, as it has been redubbed, "The O" sign." "snip"

7. Thank you !

Great to be here, however I should get off my fanny, donate and earn a star, maybe today.
There is a wealth of info here, and I appreciate it. (-:

2. Not sure if I'll be in the mood on 12/22, but I'll make the effort.

For world peace. :-)

4. We could take aspirin for that headache on the 21st!

:spank:

[BlueIris]

10. Oh, I'm not worried about saying no to anyone. In my life, even single,

I have to work up the desire. Kinda sucks. But at least on 12/22, I'll have the incentive to er, work up an incentive...? For world peace.

3. Gonna try the Big Bang theory?

It couldn't hurt.



December 22. Is that a Wednesday? AKA Humpday?

Nope, it's on a Friday.

[Wickerman]

9. lol

you'd expect a little better writing from that paper. I think the intent was to invite you to soldier on, partner or not!

I can be up for it.

12. ORGASM ....

I have long been active in the Organization of Religious Groups Against Smutty Material (ORGASM), which is dedicated to fighting the pornographic republican nonsense that is issued from the mouthes of people like Dick Cheney.

13. As long as it isn't sponsored by ANSWER.

I don't want my orgasms going to support Mumia.

[crispini]

22. ROFL!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[blondeatlast]

24. LOL!

:rofl:

[derby378]

14. So, does this mean there will be regional group observances?

And is Scalia going to be in charge of any of these?

[pooja]

15. Who really needs to be convinced with this idea????

[treestar]

16. Take the apostrophe out

This is a plural not a possessive.

I am an English major trying to protect you from freeperisms that may be accused of being invented by freepers so they can laugh about this as something those crazy left wingers would be likely to do.

:rofl::hide::pals:

[smoogatz]

17. Well, you could read it as: Orgasm IS for peace--

You know, personification. I'd like to think that if there was a "Big O" orgasmic entity, it would, in fact, be for peace.

That said, what a great idea.

[treestar]

18. :-)

:rofl:

[guruoo]

20. You beat me to it...

(no pun intended)

[astroBspacedog]

21. Excuse Me

I'm a carpenter with a 12th grade education. I'm 52 years old and don't have the time nor funds to attend collage to major in English so I can post on the DU. But I'll try harder.

But yes, you are right, most freepers seem to be less literate then me, however, most likely do not know what an orgasm is, ---- unless they happen to be rubbing their rifle.

(did you notice how many times I had to edit this?)
:+ :D

[guruoo]

19. Oops....

That one won't count, right?

[mongo]

23. Count us in!

Great way to beat off aggression!

[NoBushSpokenHere]

25. LOL after 6 years of nearly NO press coverage

for Democratic causes... I bet this one is beat to death in the media...

[walldude]

26. Mr & Mrs Walldude plan on joining this event.

Not only are we going to join this event but we will practice every day until Dec 22nd... just to make sure we don't mess anything up :woohoo:
