I was just listening to this cast and wanted to say I am a dad - I have one little boy, now 2 1/2, that I adopted from Viet Nam when he was 4 1/2 months old. I'm a single dad - was single when I adopted and still am. Anyway, I'd be willing to talk about it if you're interested.

this lengthy erection issue you guys talked about can be pretty bad
the term for it is called "priapism"
and there are a LOT of health issues and risks associated with it

Glee

“Glee” is pretty much the only television show that my boyfriend and I can agree on. He likes the sappy high school stuff and I appreciate the more dark and twisted aspects to it. I’m really looking forward to the fall season to see how the show develops. One little aspect that amuses the Hell out of me is that the background music is all sung in glee style, or whatever it is called.

Sotomayor

Do you think the media would have a better time pronouncing Judge Sotomayor's name if she changed it to Blagojevich?

Circumcision

Since I once had the displeasure of having this painting hanging in my office, I can pretty much state that circumcision is practiced in the Arab world.

White House: Law only answer for gays in military
From Associated Press
May 12, 2009 2:52 PM EDT

WASHINGTON - The White House says it won't stop gays and lesbians from being dismissed from the military while the Obama administration works to repeal a decade-old policy banning openly gay people from serving in uniform.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that President Barack Obama does not plan to intervene in current cases against men and women who announce their homosexuality.

Gibbs says the president wants to do away with the "don't ask, don't tell" policy through legislation.

Gibbs says the policy does not serve the national interest and that Obama is working with lawmakers for what Gibbs calls a "durable legislative solution." He says a repeal of the policy requires "more than the snapping of one's fingers."

Critics of the policy have called on Obama to stop the dismissals now.

Times have not changed much.

This documentary displays how small minded people think.
I mean, even up into this year , The Right took away the Rights from people who wanted to get married.

Rest In Peace Harvey, The world needs more of you.

I have been following this podcast for a while. Although I didn't have problem signing up Bear411 (I guess I am the lucky one who slip through the random check criteria), I do feel the pain and hurt JJ talking about. Being a big asian guy myself, I could tell you many times I am being ignored by bear groups. Not to say bears would actively exclude people (that would be politically incorrect); they just ignore my exist. And that's very hurtful.

Those things aside, I have a question for all you guys there. You all seemed to agree that the owner of Bear411 has the absolute right to choose who he want to be on his website. However, I don't agree with that. For what I see, 411 is not a "private club" per se, since a lot of people are there free. Isn't that make 411 a "public space", just like bars and restaurants? I can't not imagine the owner of a bar could turn away people just because they are black, asian, chubby, skinny, whatever. Unless 411 start to charge every single user for membership fee, I don't see why the owner would have right to refuse people to get on it. What's your take on this?

Hi, this question is for John John...are you a first generation American or second generation? I am a second generation American and my parents are very much traditionally Asian. I am curious to know about you coming out experiences; especially if they are similar to my circumstances.
Thanks,
Mike

Also, thanks for the shout out for the comments I've made...I am a newly coming out cub trying to figure out life and so it has been quite the nice resource to have other people talk about what being gay and bears is all about. I spent two years in TX doing religious service of the LDS persuasion. I miss Blue Bell Ice Cream and I still say y'all.

I'm an insomniac! Thanks for giving me something to listen to...I really enjoy your PODCAST! El Griff, when I think about air plane landings, all I have to think about is season 1 of Lost, season 4 of Heroes, and Castaway. So, yeah, when I heard the tapes of the Capt. being calm and collective, I came to the conclusion that all of the airplane pilots I know wear dark navy pants...probably because in situations like these, khaki would not be the choice because of the crapping and uncontrollable urination under pressure.

MNguyen — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:55:46 -0000

And one more thing: I'm on bearciti.com under the user name miguelito. The pictures I added on there are pretty much the same ones I used when Bear411 let me in on their secret club for bears.

I'm obviously not a bear.

Re: COL052: Cum, Rinse, Repeat

MNguyen — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:52:49 -0000

Jeff, good question...I can't speak for all the Asians out there but hairiness isn't exactly in the genes--generally speaking. My version of a traditional 5 o' clock shadow is about a week's worth of not shaving.

Plus, it doesn't even come in as facial hair...more like bits and pieces of facial hair...but definitely not like an old Kung Fu master.

I really wish I knew how our friend over at the 411 was screening potential members/customers but the simplest answer might be the best: bear site for bears as defined by He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named.

I know a Jewish bear person who had facial hair. He kept trying to get on to Bear411 but was being rejected. He then followed the advice of his Latino boyfriend (who was also on the site and beardless) and posted a more revealing picture.

Life lesson: put out.

Mike

boxtech — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:44:40 -0000

Here's a question. Is it because he's Asian or is it because he's not hairy enough. Tim, Griff, and I all have facial fur. Could an Asian with facial hair join?

Re: COL052: Cum, Rinse, Repeat

MNguyen — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:56:05 -0000

El Griff,

I'm going to admit that Bear411 was my springboard into action 'round these parts but since I decided to stop prostitution for college tuition money, I've now moved onto posting serious ads at: bearforest.com, bearciti.com, and beardar.com.

I can see why J^2 can be annoyed by the politics of beardom; but it is the administrator's right to deny access. The whole time I was listening to this podcast, I was thinking of the Simpsons' episode when Homer joins the Stonecutters only to have them kick him out and make the new club of No Homers. Essentially, it sucks. Would I call it racism...well, to a degree...I'm going to go on a stretch here but I don't see the KKK expanding their membership to non-whites. My point is that Senor Bear411 has every right to do what he does...no shirts, no shoes, no Asians, no service.

This was really an interesting podcast to listen to because I am a college student studying social psychology and my research is involved with racism in America. I am Vietnamese, born and raised in California, and I study in Utah.

So, racism.

It still happens and is changed into an implicit "thing".

Dirt off your shoulder!

Since Bear411 isn't letting you on, where do you go instead?

Re: COL052: Cum, Rinse, Repeat

luv4pnda — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 16:40:43 -0000

I am definately not interested in a bear site that does not include Asians.

MNguyen — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 16:07:43 -0000

Hey, I just recently discovered the world of Podcasts! And I lost my Podcast virginity to Cubs Out Loud--I hope you're happy now. But to comment on the Bear411...I am Asian and I had an account on there a year or so ago and for some reason, I canceled it. A couple of months ago, I decided to reactive it and I got the "take your business elsewhere" email. I was pretty sure I could get on because I had been on before but that wasn't the case.
