It is normal I'm sick of internet activists?

  • I've only been doing phone sex for about 5 years and don't delude myself that it's changing the world: it does however keep a roof over my head which I couldn't afford otherwise, which is the only reason I do it. They don't all hang up on me by the way, I also have regular callers who've been calling me for years and never hang up without thanking me. The behavior of the rude ones is a reflection on them, not on me.

    I have however been an activist since the early 70's, I have contributed to positive change in the world and continue to do so. What's your contribution to positive social change?

    • I promote international peace through balanced military power. The weapon systems I have created are hard to preemptively destroy which assures destruction of anyone that takes the first shot.

      I am also active with "Bed nets for Africa". Malaria kills more people each year than most wars.

      The world is a better place because of my efforts. How about you?

      • YOU have created weapons systems which guarantee world peace? Really? obviously not in use yet ....

        Bed nets sounds like a great idea: what does "active" mean in your case?

        I helped establish the first two women's refuges in my state; helped establish an independent refuge referral service to enable women in danger to call only one phone number for help; I've worked on campaigns for women's reproduction rights; for lesbian mothers to have equal custody rights with heterosexuals; for changes to the family law act; for funding for community legal centres; for Aboriginal Land Rights; against the expansion of uranium mining and against the destruction of old growth forests. I also worked (unpaid) for a few years in a remote Aboriginal community, including making my own home available as a refuge for women & children fleeing violence; advocating for Aboriginal people with local white bureaucracy, social security etc. There's probably more but I can't be bothered trying to remember ... I'm old and tired and not well BUT still an activist, just a slower one

    • I've always wanted to be a phone sex operator. Seriously. Do you make enough cash to support yourself?
