One Porn Star's Political Opinions...

[Jack Davenport]

I would never and have never eaten Lion. a new restaurant here in Tampa called Taco fusion was serving lion tacos but after huge protests they took it off the menu. they still have bear and gazelle and other wild game, but no more Lion.

I get hit on but probably no more than the average girl does. I don't dress like a bimbo when Im out and about as you can see so I dont have the "fuck me" vibe going. if Im out at night then it might be different but I only go out about 4 or 5 times a year to clubs or things like that. I do dinners out with friends more than anything. i also do a lot of night trips out to the islands on my boat where we build a big fire and cook out and drink we call them booze cruises lol

You can try and "dress down" all you want and I would never have guessed who you are if I saw you in public. I would just think you were an extremely attractive woman. I think it's the hair.

Yeah it's the hair.

lol thank you unfortunately too many people recognize me. but for the most part they behave. some are rude or pushy, but mostly I just get the look and the smile and they ask if I am Mariah Milano. I had a guy in Jamaica recognize me and he was everywhere I turned for the following 5 days at the resort. that sucked

If you ever come to Paris please let me know, I will be glad to have diner with you. Our political ideas might differ but you are one sweet lady who loves wine and good food and that is a big plus in my book.

French Toast Benedict, Shepard's Ribeye, Goat Cheese Crostini. This is the kind of stuff that the Socialists use to start controlling our minds. Resist Mariah Milano's evil agenda.

haha

I love Paris Georges. I have been many times and will be there again in a few months. I stay in La Marais or the Bastille. I rent apartments instead of hotels usually. the last place I stayed was on Rue St Louis and Oberkampf ion the 11th arrondissement that I loved and will most likely stay there again. great farmer's market on Rue Saint-Louis

my favorite restaurants are Chez Robert et Louise in La Marais and Aux Deux Canard in the 10th that is incredible!

 

[Mariahxxx]

Sponsorship is a nice gesture, although I hate to see any wild animal in a caged enviroment like that, espcially a lion. I would much rather see money being spent to have him him released into the wild. Perhaps in someplace like Victoria Falls Lion Reserve in Zimbabwe, Africa.. http://www.africanimpact.com/conser...ic-falls-volunteering-victoria-falls-zimbabwe

In any event, have a nice Memorial Day !

all of these cats were rescued from people who couldnt care for them! just those 2 cats have more than 7 acres to themselves! they have a great life and they are never handled by people or have people enter into their area. everything is done randomly so they never know where or when the food is coming. its very natural other than they dont kill their food. checkout their site http://bigcatrescue.org/ and see how they get the cats and the care that goes into raising them

 

[eric2136]

I think it's excellent what BCR does in saving and caring for the the Big Cats in the best way possible. I think lions at the age of adulthood would prefer to be in a free territory to live and interact in a more natural manner. However, I realize that cannot always be the case. I think your sponsorship is a very good gesture in support of BCR's efforts in caring for these animals, keep it up !

 

[Mariahxxx]

honestly those Lions have been raised in captivity their entire lives and have no idea of any other existence. they have a very large area to roam freely, inter-act with other lions and eat a very nutritious diet and never worry about poachers and starving to death, which is a big problem for wild lions even those in protected parks. they actually are very well taken care of here and live as close to natural as it gets anywhere. far better than zoos

and Mrs Palin is back at it proving what a fucking blessing it was that she wasn't put in position to become president. today she got her scandals mixed up and confused the Sequester with the IRS tea party scandal lol

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's Twitter never fails to disappoint.

She sent a curious tweet Friday taking up the issue of the Internal Revenue Service -- currently embroiled in a scandal for targeting tea party groups in the lead-up to the 2012 election -- being closed for the day thanks to sequestration:

She Tweeted:

"Sequester = a four-day weekend at the IRS."
&
"The IRS is closed for the day, feel free to use your phones."

It's unclear how the IRS is connected to anything having to do with phones, but it's possible Palin may have been confusing that scandal with the drama over the Department of Justice secretly seizing two months' worth of Associated Press phone records in 2012.


I sincerely hope that even the most adamant hardcore party-line conservatives here can admit what a fucking moron she is.

I had an interesting discussion with a friend of mine tonight. He's a 28 year old business owner and has been since he was 13 when he started his own roofing company. He pays for blue cross medical insurance for all 27 of his employees and himself. in 2010 he had emergency gall bladder surgery and during the surgery his lung was punctured and became infected. He has lost 90% of the use of that lung and due to this he was dropped by Blue Cross. He has a law suit pending of course, but now due to the infection in his body that went on undetected for 4 months he now has an ulcer on his trachea and cannot eat or swallow. He has no insurance and cannot purchase a plan because he has the pending lawsuit and outstanding bills that Blue Cross has denied his claim. He paid premiums for 11 years and never made a single claim until this, and now they have dropped him and he is stuck with more than $50,000 in medical bills. He is on the verge of losing his business because he cannot swallow, he can barely speak and his medicine costs him $180 every 2 days!!!!! He has had to pay a specialist over $5,000 so far on top of the medications and after 45 days he is not any better than he was. Blue cross has continued to deny his claims and he cannot buy insurance to this day.

He has applied for medicare and disability and social security and been denied each time.

This is a guy who has paid into the system since he was a kid and never taken anything out and yet he can't get medicine that he needs. He's sold his condo and now has to sell his business just to keep going to specialists to try and find the cure for his illness. He's lost 80 pounds and can barely speak. Since his policy was dropped prior to the affordable care act and the preexisting conditions provision, he's shit outta luck.

If we had a health care system in place he could have had this handled and been back to work, paying taxes and hiring more people.

You're the only person I know that still talks about her.


Meh .. they all make mistakes...


What if Sarah had said this?

I still find this to be about as disturbing as any gaffe any candidate has ever made.

And Obama was absolutely convinced of 57 states when he said it. Yet everyone wants to sweep that little doozy under the rug. I don't really care about gaffes but when your side keeps harping on people like Palin (who will never be president BTW and yet you are obsessed with her) it is fair to remind you of the stupidest comment ever made by a presidential candidate. Actually it is unforgivable.

More anecdotal evidence. And out of those 27 roofers, how many are illegals? It's the roofing business you know. Cry me a fucking river.

We all could give personal examples of why we hold the views that we do.

I think the main thing that most Americans miss so often in this debate is that healthcare is not a free-market system. You choose which TV to buy, or which restaurant to eat at. That's the free-market, right? You don't choose whether or not you go to the emergency room, or even most times which emergency room you're going to. Or what procedures you need. Etc., etc. Healthcare inherently does not fit. The rest of the civilized west seems to have understood that by now, but we're still struggling.

He can barely speak, yet you two had a discussion about all of that?

That can be a compelling argument and is used all the time. The problem is that people are still not receiving care in a timely manner under the alternative socialized method. In the UK and Canada waiting lists are long and Canadians especially are coming to the US for health care. So if the argument is that people are dying from a lack of health care under a free market system why should they drop the system that works for a great percentage of them and lose the ability to receive health care as they need it instead of when the government decides they should get it?

Well I certainly agree that for some older lions born and raised in captivity, The BCR program is better than a zoo. Unfortunately, that is a very low standard compared to the natural habitats and needs of lions. In programs such as the Antelope Park Lion Conservation program, cubs born from captive mothers are given the opportunity to develop a natural pride social system in a minimum 500 acre enclosure, and then once the pride becomes stable and self-sustaining, it is then relocated into a managed ecosystem of a minimum of 10,000 acres, where:

• There are no resident human beings
• There are sufficient prey species to hunt
• There is a constant border patrol system

In the BCR program you stated that 2 cats are held in 7 acre enclosures, and the whole sanctuary is only 55 acres. I agree that the BCR reservation program is far better than a zoo, especially for some older abused and traumatized lions that would probably otherwise be euthanized, but it still is obviously in no way comparable to a pride of lions living in their natural enviroment in the wild.

People in jail don't have to worry about starving or some of the other dangers of being free...but prison is still prison. I personally believe that any lion of any age or background can be re-introduced into the wild with the right guidance, but that is just my personal opinion.
