HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT :P
Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to
Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many
souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in
the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can
project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are,
we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we
look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states
that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the
volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell
breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell,then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year
that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into
account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be
true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it
follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

Thermo Dynamics Meets Theology!
Good one, time4! Now I understand why the inner-most circle of hell in Dante's Inferno is ice, not fire. And given how perilous a journey our souls must make after death, I can now understand why some guy (true story) was selling his soul on E-bay! lol!

Got it from one of my friends on 360. Boycott Japanese hosts.
RE: extremely sad and brutal !!!!!!!!!!
are chat hosts on here moonlighting as dolphin harvesters? how does boycotting japanese hosts on here help?
Fawning?
Is it just me or does it seem like every guy that post in the general forum is always defending the hosts?
I'm all for defending a girl when someone is doing her wrong, but looking at some of these posts it seems a girl can do no wrong here. What's the deal?

Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn
Bambi, "Every guy?" I agree there are guys that are suck-ups, but let's consider only the present case below (which I gather prompted your post?) I can't speak for others, but I defended Charlotte based on an assumption (which admittedly could be erroneous, since I do not have experience with her in Chat) that what she reports is a fairly accurate account of her experience. I am not among those "sensitive" types who think they will gain something by currying favor with the women here. I agree, Paco, respect is important, but that is a different thing than sucking up to someone to gain some advantage.
Anyone who believes the offending parties here are always the viewers is looking through rose colored glasses indeed! There are plenty of hosts who behave badly as well.

RE: Fawning?
We will only defend against unwarranted attacks and blatant lies. Some will defend more than others and there are always some who will see the best in everyone.
RE: Fawning?
Was an example here of a member who was so nauseatingly oily and gushing with hosts - he turned out to be a real control freak in real life, seriously wierd man. Nevertheless, paco is right, no need for us members to be rude to hosts. Between ourselves, yeah let's occasionally give each other a bad time just to vent some of our frustrations! ;-)
Bambi
By saying"defending hosts"you give the impression that they are being attacked.now what good person wouldn't help a friend under attack!?If the posts are what the postee truly believes it can't be"sucking up".So who is to decide if what is posted is a belief or"sucking up"? just because a post doesn't agree with your point of view doesn't mean it's"sucking up".
Fawning, I love baby deer!
It all comes down to manners.
Something that seems lacking

Also common sense!
Chathosts have no idea when they
are getting viewers!
So when they are waiting for viewers
they are doing other things.
Important things like studying!

RE: Another question for viewers
Charlottle, You have a legitimate complaint. I'm sure, as Kate pointed out above, there are some guys that never intend to enter Live, but who want to pretend they will. I suspect it's an ego thing. These guys think they will be able to charm you and get something for nothing. (Btw, you mention their requests to show your tits in Free. But isn't that Text? There is only a photo in my Text Chat. Are there different systems? Just curious.)
I would simply advise you to cut these guys off after their intentions are made clear. Don't hope against hope. You might institute a personal policy that you state upfront. After the usual courtesies are exchanged, make it a policy that they must decide. They must "fish or cut bait," as we say in English. Tell them courteously but directly that you are here to earn a living and must limit the time you spend in Text. After some reasonable time (5 minutes?), politely suggest that if they want to think about it they can come back, but you cannot afford to continue with them in Text. If they respond with abusive language, then they are showing their true intentions. Such types should be reported to CC and you should "block" them. (Hosts have the option to "block" a viewer, right?)

RE: Another question for viewers
P.S. Charlotte, I see I did not remember what you had written re: showing your tits. You were making the adult/non-adult distinction and I was thinking you had said Free text vs. Live. I've got it now :)
RE: Another question for viewers
Thanks for replying Melomane :)
The fact is that I don't like to block guys and I don't want to do it either.
The guys that ate today 6 hours of my time in free (yes I do keep a strict accounting :P ) are guys that usualy come and see me, but I don't know why today they thought I have time to waiste :( That is why I was pissed off, because they know way too well about me and what am I doing here :(
I wanted to say more but I am tired so I forgot what I wanted to say :)))
Have a nice evening (K)

RE: Another question for viewers
Why on earth would you let a member stay in text chat for 6 hours? then complaing about it. You can't have it both ways hun, if you keep the text conversation going hour after hour you can't come here and complain. It takes two to keep a conversation going, next time set a time limit (10min?) if he isn't going in vid by then, tell him you have other stuff you must take care of.
RE: Another question for viewers
Ohh dear! I was talking on plural, I said the GUYS not guy! They came one after another... onewas for 30-40 minutes, then before he left another one came for about an hour, then the first one came back and so on for 6 hours...
Why can't you people pay attention to what you read???

RE: Another question for viewers
I talk a lot sometimes with host, but I do understand, and hope every member here does too, that this is a bussiness,most host here are here for the money. When I'm talking in free chat or commchat in pvt, I hope the host has enough sense to tell me she has to go because of a vid or sorry you are here too long, and I can respect that. I do not ask for free vids or most of the time I don't go to free vids because this is a business and there is nothing wrong with that.
I don’t usually go to vid in nonadult because I like to see beautiful nude women so I don’t go to nonadult and bother the host with any request to go nude.
I wish both members and host had more respect for each other, true host are not machines and members are not just the size of their credit cards.

RE: Another question for viewers
Hi Charlotte
I am sorry you have such bad experiences with some members.
I have been a member here since 2003 and have used text chat very little. Excep with special host I built up relationship with over time.
I beleive it should be made clear by CC that text chat is for short chat only and there shuld be a way for a host to Iggy members that presist when the host is busy or occupied.
While we all find friends, or preceived friends here, this is a business for host. Text chat is a privilidge for us, not a god given right. No member should demand free text chat anbe obnixous when it is not readily given,

RE: Another question for viewers
I agree that taxt chat is for shorter times of visiting. I am one that tries to keep it short, but sometimes I might lose track of time like I do in video. Just tell me bye and that you will talk to me another time. Do not hesitate to tell members like me bye!!
RE: Another question for viewers
A good clue to find out if the textchatter is an ass or thinks he helps you fill time:
After five minutes or so of chat, just say something like "Hey, it was great of you to stop by, I have to go work on a project now" or "I think I may have a show in a couple minutes, I better get ready. Bye for now."

RE: Another question for viewers
Well if you would've paid a little bit of attention, you would've noticed that I am not online when I post here and the hours when I give replyes are different.
And for your own enlightment I can talk on free text chat and post in forums in the same time as well as I can do the things I have to do in the house and take a 5 minutes break to post here too ;)
I never bite the hand that feeds me. But you forget that I give something back to that hand too. It is called paying for a service, not having the right to abuse someones kindness ;)
Have fun :)

Condom testers required by Durex
Durex has launched its first UK recruitment drive for thousands of condom testers. The condom maker wants a panel of 5,000 people who are single, married, or in couples to report their experiences of using its condoms and lubricants.
Men and women of all ages, ethnic groups or sexual orientation have been asked to apply on its website.
Durex was inundated with 14,000 applicants on the first day it started a similar scheme in France.
'Massive panel'
UK panellists will be expected to report online on how enjoyable the condoms and lubricants were to use and whether their sex lives have improved.
"The idea is to create a massive panel of testers who can try Durex condoms, have sex and then give us feedback about their experiences - in strictest confidence, of course," a Durex spokeswoman said.
"It isn't some crazy kind of '60s love-in," she added.
Durex sales in the six months until September 2006 increased by 7% compared with the same period in the previous year, driven by a surge in sales of personal devices and lubricants

Answer...and a reply to Austin P
That wud…,
First off, let me congratulate you for raising the bar by asking a more substantial question than you had been posting in your “Can you” series. Some of your critics were perhaps a bit harsh, but I think you would admit that you set yourself up for it by asking the most mundane questions (e.g. “Can you salsa dance?...Can you cook?...etc”) Questions can still be simple without being mundane. Your present question is a case in point: simple but substantial.
Freedom of Speech is one of the fundamental freedoms in a truly democratic society. One of America’s most famous Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, understood this and was so firm in his conviction that he would not ratify (sign) the US Constitution unless the delegates agreed to amend the document with what is called the Bill of Rights. The Delegates to the Constitutional Convention already had sufficient votes to create the Constitution, but Jefferson (and the Virginia colony) was among the most powerful voices in the new nation and the delegates knew that the new Government could not succeed without Jefferson’s blessing. They therefore agreed to add the Bill of Rights to the Constitution. The Bill became the first ten amendments to the Constitution and it grants, among other things, the guarantee of freedom of speech & press, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion. US History would look much different in the absence of these guarantees. Even with these guarantees many individual citizens and groups have struggled against those—including Government officials past and present (yes, Bush et al. right now!)---who would deny them what the Constitution guarantees them.
Those whom the people elect to represent them in Government have a sworn Constitutional duty to uphold the freedoms it guarantees. However, if the people are not ever vigilant, those in power will abuse these freedoms. As brilliant as the US system of “checks and balances” is, it cannot prevent abuses if the citizens are ignorant or asleep. Jefferson put forth certain maxims, among which was, “A people cannot be both ignorant and free.” What is particularly dangerous in the US is the fact that the mainstream news media are increasingly a part of the problem because they do not report the real abuses of freedoms by the government-sponsored commercial/mass media/ entertainment conglomerates. And if there is genuine Freedom of the Press, why don’t they report this? Because they are among the co-conspirators! Without going through a litany of examples, let me offer just one: Media mogul and right wing ideologue, Ruppert Murdoch (owner of Fox News, media of every type around the globe). Americans watch Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’ Reilly and think they are “informed.” They mistake propaganda for news. Rather than thinking for themselves, they are told what to think. They are the unwitting dupes of what Noam Chomsky calls “manufactured consent.”
By way of qualification, Freedom of Speech should not be confused with a license for bad manners or grossly irresponsible behavior. As a Supreme Court Justice (I believe it was Holmes) remarked in a case testing Freedom of Speech, “Freedom of Speech does not give a man the right to yell, ‘Fire’ in a crowded theatre.” For this reason I disagree with almost everything Austin P said above about freedom of speech. For example, he says, “I can say fuck and no one takes it the wrong way.” Nonsense! I agree, uttering the word may not result in arrest as a result of this Freedom, but the Freedom does not guarantee that if you insult someone, they will not “take it the wrong way.” To the point, Freedom of Speech is legislated; civility is governed by unwritten custom and as a general rule means treating your fellow man as you would like to be treated.

As a Supreme Court Justice (I believe it was Holmes) remarked in a case testing Freedom of Speech, “Freedom of Speech does not give a man the right to yell, ‘Fire’ in a crowded theatre.” For this reason I disagree with almost everything Austin P said above about freedom of speech. For example, he says, “I can say fuck and no one takes it the wrong way.” Nonsense! I agree, uttering the word may not result in arrest as a result of this Freedom, but the Freedom does not guarantee that if you insult someone, they will not “take it the wrong way.” To the point, Freedom of Speech is legislated; civility is governed by unwritten custom and as a general rule means treating your fellow man as you would like to be treated.

So you read my posts if they are short and leave if they are long? (I guess you're not a big fan of long Russian novels, huh? lol!) It's not entirely your fault.

BRITTANY SPEARS FLASHES BUSH...NOT THE PRESIDENT....STAY TUNED FOR THIS EXCLUSIVE CC REPORT. BUT FIRST TWO QUOTES FROM "BORING" FRENCHMAN FROM THE 17TH CENTURY, FRANCOIS duc de LA ROCHEFOUCAULD
1) "We are invariably bored by those to whom we are boring."
2) "We are almost always bored by the very people by whom it is vital not to be bored."
I am sure La Rochefoucauld is right because: re: #1, I find you boring as well, though I would have kept it to myself had you not brought it up; and re: #2) I would be willing to bet you have never given much thought to "That wud's" question and that you would find Thomas Jefferson "boring." I challenge you to answer the question and prove me wrong.....BUT BACK TO THIS EXCLUSIVE CC REPORT ABOUT BRITTANY'S BUSH.

RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
melomane you have an inflated opinion of yourself(see your quote #2)& are a pompous windbag.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
Here we go again. So, you are OMG today, not Novids4me? Re: # 2, I was referencing Thomas Jefferson, not myself.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
not only a windbag but one with a fixation.i aint this novids dude you are refer to.LMAO im one of those who hate that sycophant.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
Nahh, not a fixation guy. It's simply that you have so much in common with him: same vocabulary; same writing habits; same arrogant presumption as self-appointed judge; same habit of using the forum to personally attack another member; same habit of not making a contribution to the discussion. No wonder you hate him. He reminds you of yourself.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
yep you are fixated.to make so many judgements about a name you know nothing about shows that.he has got under your skin to.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
I think OMG was referring to the La Rochefoucauld quote you used when he/she referred to #2 rather than the Thomas Jefferson one.As you say you agree with it it could be interpretted that what you are saying is that you feel it applies to your posts.I understand that may not have been what you meant.
RE: Okay alias....I'll keep it short
Your point is well taken. The first quote is unambiguous in how it applies here. Alias finds me boring; I find him boring. However, I should have qualified # 2. But even had I done so, OMG would have found some other reason to attack me personally. It's par for the course with self-appointed judges like him.
I was by no means suggesting it is "vital" for "alias" to pay heed to what I say, but I do maintain none of us---as members of a thoughtful citizenry---can afford to ignore thinkers like Thomas Jefferson. I don't say Jefferson is indispensible, but as a class, kindred thinkers from the past have lessons that we can ill-afford to ignore.

RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
I agree with most of what you say but I do disagree with your perception of the media. The “main line press” is reporting only thing that fit their agenda and if they can’t find a story to substantiate their view they have a tendency to make things up. You can not believe 100% of what either side says in the news; the truth is some where in the middle of both views and you having to sift through the entire BS to find it.
The FREEDOM OF SPEECH, I feel that it is a God given right but you also have the RESONPSIBILITY when you use that freedom. Most people in the USA miss use this right, like protesting the military’s policies of gays at the funeral of a fallen soldier , yes you have the right but not the proper place to protest.

RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
Slutpuppy,
The US Declaration of Independence reflects your view that Freedom of Speech is a God-given right. We are, in the language of the Declaration, endowed with certain "unalienable" rights, among which are "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." However, we must allow that atheists love liberty no less than theists.
I agree that these Freedoms should be used responsibly. There is such a thing as righteous anger and protest re: injustice, but one's moral position in such cases is best legitimated by expressing it in the right measure, at the right time and in the right place. And that does not always mean one should work WITHIN the system. If the "system" is the problem, there will be no allowance for the "right" time or place. That is where civil disobedience comes in. If you've not already read it, read Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
I would like to respond to your comment re: my view of the media. But first, I would like to ask you to clarify two points you made by answering the following:
1) What, in your view, is the media’s “agenda?”
2) You speak of the “two sides” and claim the truth lies in the middle. What are the
Two sides?

2) Liberal & liberal
2) Liberal & liberal
RE: Answer...and a reply to Austin P
I agree with your answer to #1, but it is only a part---albeit a major one---of the larger agenda. Clearly one of the principal aims of news organizations (print, TV, radio) is to earn a profit. Hard news is expensive to produce and its commercial appeal is limited. This is one of several reasons for news being buffered and repackaged with the unmistakable garb of feel-good entertainment. One need only look at the appointment of Katie Couric to replace Dan Rather on CBS!
All the major commercial television networks are owned by huge media/entertainment conglomerates. These conglomerates also own newspapers, magazines, book publishers, cable and satellite TV companies, radio stations, bookstores, Internet Service Providers, film studios, movie theatre chains, etc. The six largest are: 1) AOL Time Warner, 2) Disney, 3) Bertelsmann, 4) Viacom 5) News Corporation, 6) Vivendi Universal. Together they have revenues exceeding $100 billion per year. That buys a lot of influence in Washington. Two examples will suffice: Sen. John McCain sponsored legislation that changed US rules concerning media ownership, which allowed Viacom to buy CBS. Years before Congress changed the laws on behalf of Australian born Rupert Murdoch which allowed him to acquire certain US media outlets. Murdoch’s News Corporation is Fox TV’s parent company.
So, the larger agenda includes politics and ideology. These corporations have essentially bought the Government and they will brook no dissent from their commercial/political/ideological agenda.
I see you have bought into the conservative mantra that the media are liberal. Truth is, the media are status quo and largely centrist. The fact is there is no mainstream media voice in the US that is Left. Slightly left of center is about as far as it goes here (e.g. Washington Post). France has Liberation. UK has the Guardian, but there is no mainstream US newspaper that is genuinely Left. We do, however, have Right-wing newspapers (e.g. The Rev. Moon’s “Washington Times” and Rupert Murdoch’s “New York Post,” to name but two.)
If you control the media, you control public opinion. Commercial News organizations and the Government work overtime to tell people what to think. The frightening thing is that a significant majority of the American public believe the manufactured opinions are their own! The public does not get the truth from our media. It gets bromides, soporifics and maudlin tales of another movie star who has contracted a disease. And while the people are fast asleep, the tyrants exact their agenda. God help us!

Thanks for clarifying. Truth is, the terms Liberal & Conservative have lost their original (and best) meaning.
many people confuse "Freedom of Speech"
The U.S. Constitutional right of Freedom of Speech is often confused and thought to be a license to say what you want where you want and how you want and you are absolutely protected.
The U.S. Constitution simply warrants that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Note that that means Camcontacts can do whatevrr it wants with the forums because Congress does not control the forums.

RE: many people confuse
Patriot, You are right, of course, about how people often misunderstand what the Constitution provides. As I said above, I believe it was Justice Holmes who said Freedom of Speech "does not give a man a right to yell 'fire' in a crowded theatre."
I'm sure you are not surprised by this. It is frightening how little many Americans know about how the Government works. Ignorance makes a people ripe for having their liberties abused. As Jefferson said, "A people cannot be both ignorant and free."
Another thing many people confuse is thinking that the Government is the Nation. The Government consists of the elected officials, appointed officials and civil servants working for the various branches of Government. The people are entitled, indeed have the duty to watch the Government and ciriticize those who have failed to do the duty that they are sworn to uphold, and it is bogus nonsense to accuse those who criticize elected officials, of a lack of patriotism. It seems to me, a true patriot is one who keeps vigil to preserve our liberties. A failure to do so is an open invitation to tyranny. And history has shown that "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrannts."

how many host say they are single, but ring on left finger says otherwise. If i was a host, and was going to say it, i would atleast remove ring, before i start shift, if i was going to say single, no bf
RE: isnt it funny
i dont think it is funny at all!!!!
if my wife found out i was seeing a married stripper she whould be angry
i dont wear a wedding band for 3 reasons..
1. hate my wife
2. i get hit on or flirted with by more when i wore it.
3. i dont like wearing jewelry
but remember son, girls like wearing them, because they are pretty not for the symbol it represents to the opposite sex.

single , married, bf, who cares? As long as I get my needs taken care of. if you are in amrriage category I understand your point, but in all the others categories I'm there for short term fun.
RE: isnt it funny
I'm from the US and never knew that this was opposite from us in Eastern Europe and Russia. But now I'm curious what else is different :) Is an engagement ring (usually a solitary diamond ring worth about 3 to 6 months of a man's salary) an important part of your engagement process? Is it inappropriate there for a man to propose to a lady without an engagement ring? And do you use an additional wedding ring (usually a plain gold band worn on the same finger as the engagement ring) during your wedding ceremony?
RE: isnt it funny
I have a ring on my left hand but its not a wedding ring lol) Even doesn't look like it(LOL)

RE: just want some opinions
if it was just on appearance it would only be a physical attraction so it could not be serious,i think.
RE: just want some opinions
I would certainly enter a relationship based on looks but if that's all there was it would soon fizzle out.
RE: just want some opinions
Anyone who thinks that most relationships dont begin with initial physical attraction is fooling themselves. It is a rare person who overlooks the physical and goes for something deeper. At least initially.
just ?
her looks? no she has to have other qualities and attributes, such as the ability to calm me down, be smart and strength of both mind an body.
RE: just want some opinions
Isn't that how most relations start out? You have to find something physically attractive about your future bf/gf. Then you can get into the emotional/intelligence aspects.
RE: just want some opinions
there's no such thing as a serious romantic relationship that doesn't begin with physical attraction.
RE: just want some opinions
disagree from personal experience - fell in love with a woman who'd been in a fire - looked awful but 10 minutes after talking to her, I forgot about the scars
RE: just want some opinions
she wasn't my nurse - lol - and it wasn't out of pity, it was sex appeal
RE: just want some opinions
A person may enter a relationship on good looks, but for it to enter the serious stage more then good looks must exist.
Offline hosts
Several times I have been in comm chat and been sent a pvt message by a host who presumably wants a video. On checking out their profile I see that they are showing as being offline and I was just wondering why you would be offline if you were looking for a video.I can understand a host being offline if she is just in comm chat to speak to her friends.I know I should have just asked the hosts themselves.
RE: Offline hosts
Curious, I agree with you. I have had that happen to me also. However, sometimes they come online very soon after that .
RE: Offline hosts
maybe ther make themselves apear offline to the general public to keep the guys that want to sit in their texxt chat room for hours away.
RE: Offline hosts
I would guess there are two servers involved. One runs the comm chat and the other runs the full video site. I have been on comm chat and the full site has gone down. You can continue to chat away. The chat server seems more stable.
some
dont know they are offline. i have encountered that a few times and she claims to be unaware that she offline
RE: Offline hosts
Thanks for all your replies they made sense.I never said all and I did say presumably.I was meaning the hosts who send pvy messages to members thay have never chatted to and where that member very rarely chats in public.I base that assumption on my experience in comm chat.You complained the last time I posted and that was when I was being helpful to you.
RE: Offline hosts
the only block i want with KATE is a block on our bedroom door when we are together!!!
RE: Can you...
So far, I have been gracious in losing my love to another guy on cc. It's a bit easier when I don't have to see them at the market or nightclubs all the time. I think if we went to the same church or worked in the same company it would be unbearable.
RE: tell me????
I would have thought that it was pretty much impossible unless you were only wearing something like panties and bra.But even then still very very difficult.
RE: tell me????
Unless you were naked to begin with. I have visited a few adult hosts who were in the all together when I entered the video. Not sure if they were undressed from a prior video or if they liked being nude. Maybe it was just hot where they were. In either case it was not as sexy as you might think. Give me lingerie any day. For starters.
RE: tell me????
I guess he means without your fingers? He wants to see you perform. You are a performer. He knows it's difficult. Try it on the cam.
If it's really impossible tell him to come back after you can find different clothes that make it more possible.

I remember the manual for my 486 motherboard from Taiwan instead of having the fairly common "burst line refresh" had a much more interesting "bust line refresh" maybe it was a mother board for mature hosts that tend to droop a little much. I also saw a japanese map translated to english showing a water purification plant as a "Water Punishment Plant" I think it's engineer frequents the dungeon category.

The BBC is a solid news organization. I listen to their radio news programs and watch their TV News broadcasts, which are aired on Public Radio & Television stations throughout the US. And because they are not beholden to commercial interests--like US news organizations---the desire for profit does not trump their standard for reporting news fairly and objectively. Their reporting on International news is broad and in-depth. By comparison the mainstream media in the US rarely reports news from the Thirld World. One would think from US reporting that "International" is confined to Western European nations, China, Japan & Israel.
