    Hey DK You are my answer at the question "what GA means to me" I came to GA to read DO, found an author with real military knowledge (remember my blogs, I'm an old soldier) apart your writing skill, red all your blogs from the beginning, was delighted to your political impetus and could through your forum and your stories contact a lot of people who became friends. Thanks to the fact that my youngest (!! now he is 41) son is gay and was staff member of GLTB organisations here, I had no problem to discuss with young gays about other problems as sex, but you are right, my old friends in Paris and Geneva were never interested to discuss with younger people (apart in Bathhouses h

    Hey C James Its a long story "what could it have done ?" For instance: open the US borders and let the refugees entry. But just to answer how FDR and Churchil could have help the jews : The jewish organisations, at least the people who knew, asked two things : - 1. to broadcast a formal and public warning to Hitler to stop the Holocaust - 2. the bombing of the gas chambers and the furnaces The answers were : to 1 : "It wasn't political correct" to 2 : " It wasnt a military target" After the war, everybody said that it was impossible to imagine the Holocaust, and that's why FDR and Churchil didnt believe the reports of the jewish organisation in 1943. Also after the war, photos taken by RAF observation planes showing aerial views of the camps, whit queues of people waiting at the entries of the gas chambers were published, wiith the comment . " The observer tried to explain what he saw, but nobody understood what it was and nothing was done". BTW, there was another institution which the jews expected to say a formal and public word to save the jews and who did "almost" nothing, at least nothing public : the Pope ! Old bob

    Hey Drew Thanks a lot. I'm stupid Old Bob

    Hey Nick I understand your anger. As an old man who saw a lot, allow me to remember a few facts: I'm Jewish, and more than 10 members of my family disappeared in the Holocaust. A few of them could escape from Germany to Switzerland thanks Jewish crypto-organizations and several Swiss friends. No other organization helped ! The US President and the British Prime Minister were informed all ready in 1943 about the Death camps. The secretary of a Jewish world organization in Geneva, a former friend of my father, wrote them and told ALL the details of the Wannsee-organisation. See if you want to know more :Wannsee.They did NOTHING to prevent the Holocaust. Don

    Hey David Where can I find your blog ? Living in Geneva (european office of UN), I would like to meet the representatives of the three European based NGOs to check how they organised their lobbying to success. Old bob

    Hey Jack,I agree, and I like very much the way you express the decline of life .For an old chap as me, to have the chance to talk with young lads without the fear to pass for an child abuser is unique. I do also. I'm sure that's the only site which gives us the possibility to read and talk with friends from so many countries. I was obliged to look often on an interactive time map to find the proper time to touch some of my friends. Not everybody is always on line, like C James does take care Old bob

    Hey Myr You are really a wonderful guy. On one side, you are burn out and I undestand why, and on the other side you take the pain (it's the translation of a french expression "prendre la peine", perhaps it has the same meaning in english ?) to install stats, which are interesting indeed.I dont know if I may ask you a private question : from where do you take the power and the will to support your site, against all these querulous people ? I dont know if I would be able to do it myself. "Chapeau" ! It's a french expression which means "I rise my hat in front of you as a mark of respect". Take care Old Bob

    I'm really disturbed . A lot of nice people are talking about "scuttling" of GA. Others act as "rats which leave the ship". To read the topics of Myr and the last blog of DK show the seriousness of the crisis. I came here a few months ago, attracted by the story archive and found a lot of fascinating authors. Through the forum, I found friendship all over the world and I don

    Hey Greg A wonderful experience ? When did I feel myself as a real man? Many times, my life is full of such memories. I will bring just one of these moments, one from my professional life. I was 45 years old, partner with a French movies producer. It was in Paris, in a lawyer office. We were together, standing face to a group of 7 bankers who has given us a loan of 7'000'000 $, which we couldn

    Hey James... Your blog is like a thriller The Stones... It brings me back in 1963. I was 34 years old, my first son 11 and we quarreled about the best song on their LP. And the fighting between Stones and Beattles... What a wonderfull period. Thanks for the remembering. Old Bob

    Hey Myr LOL Just to say that I appreciate very much your sense of humour. It seems that some people dont like the fun and the drollery of the games. I do I take the opportunity to say "THANKS" to the Creator of this big site Old bob

    Hey CJames. It's much better to read all the 5 chapters at one "blow". It's worthwile to wait, because you can follow (and appreciate) the structure of the story. You are a rational type, you are writing with your brain and not with your feeling.. For me it's a compliment . Your story is more a thriller that a love story. I'm sure the fact that the father is a cop play a large part in the story. Well done, I like it very much. Take care and astonish us Old bob

    Hey Ross Welcome to GA. From the way you post, you must be a strong guy and I wish you a better life and a lot of friends. You will certainly find some of them here, besides all kind of gay stories to read. Take care, enjoy and be yourself. Old Bob

    hey Dem I found the site on the topic of Pingyboy and on the site of the Aidsworld campaign. My candle is also there. I hope a lot of GA members will do it also. Take care Old bob
  19. old bob
    Hey Dem Sorry !!!!! I didnt see that you allready posted about the same topic . In French, we have a proverb : "les grands esprits se rencontrent" in english : "the great spirits (means : the great wise men) are on the same wave". "Two are better than one to hammer a nail " Take care Old Bob

    Hey everybody In 2000, heads of state made a promise to halt and begin to reverse the spread of AIDS by 2015. New reports by UNAIDS and the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that, as of 2006, the epidemic continues to spread in every region of the world. By now more than 65 million people have been infected with HIV and well over 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981, 2.9 million in 2006 alone.
