There exist more than 15 different causes of penis pain. Some would be the result of sizegenetics or aggressive sexual activity, while others are caused by infections and other illnesses. Possibly the most common causes of penis pain are as follows:Allergies- an allergic reaction to something which your penis has come into contact with. This would include soaps, detergents, creams, condoms, latex, fabrics and other materials; <br />http://sizegenetics-reviewx.tumblr.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-37491534190132104952008-08-14T14:07:00.000-07:002008-08-14T14:07:00.000-07:00Absolutely Pombat.

But it's ok. I appreciate RBR's attempt to clarify things. I am biased toward Georgia, yes. For the record, I have Russian friends as well. But this issue just doesn't seem to matter to them very much. <BR/><BR/>You will note that I am also biased toward France because I lived there and speak French and like the French, the Palestinians because I think they have gotten a raw deal, Turkey because I have done a lot of work with the Turkish language and have done a lot of reading on Turkey. I tend to be biased against Scandinavians because they are so damn perfect it makes me sick, that and I spent a very difficult three months in Norway working. I think I have covered them all for the future.

Actually, much of the world now has progressed as wealth has been more even spread around. Granted, there are huge disparities, but other nations, once considered weak on at best, back benchers, are now more powerful than before.<BR/><BR/>I think this is a good thing in the long run. We have to learn to work with all of these nations more as equals than as a dominate power. And if we act constructively, then we will have more power to influnece and we won't feel the need to "control".<BR/><BR/>As for Russia: yes, let's keep them in the international community. But Russia has to show that it is willing to play in that community. Vetoing everything that UN security council does to punich states like Iran is not playing. It's jus tbeing obstructionist.<BR/><BR/>But what needs to be done is to change the composition of our international organizations.

Hint would be better.<BR/><BR/>FYI, US West was unaware of LTG's strong Russophilia.<BR/><BR/>And I think it is worth pointing out because LTG is far more tolerant of belligerent and anti-democratic actions from Russian leaders than he is from leaders from the US, China, or other countries.Raised By Republicanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461006522141969925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-34579505582671618072008-08-13T08:24:00.000-07:002008-08-13T08:24:00.000-07:00RbR...

His experiences in Russia are well known to almost all of us on this blog--I would forgive him for assuming (wrongly) that USWest already knew.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I missed it, but the only passage I could find in which LTG knocks USWest's Georgian connection is where he wrote, "I'm not sure why USWest (other than the personal connection) feels so strongly about 'our Georgian friends.' There are no longstanding American ties with this country which, until 16 years ago, was part of the USSR and ruled directly from Moscow."<BR/><BR/>To construe that as an outright accusation of bias seems at least a little uncharitable to me... Besides, I feel USWest has defended her position on Georgia quite well.Dr. Strangelovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407042105777411150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-77629350711697111532008-08-13T05:12:00.000-07:002008-08-13T05:12:00.000-07:00Of course, the Russians are already violating the ...Of course, the Russians are already violating the cease fire. So this mortem isn't quite post yet.<BR/><BR/>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7558399.stm<BR/><BR/>I agree with LTG that constructive engagement should be the guiding force of US policy in this regard. And, sadly, that probably means realizing that Russia is more important to the US than Georgia in the grand scheme of things. <BR/><BR/>BUT, I am no where near as sanguine about the current leadership in Russia as LTG (who has still not admitted his own emotional ties to Russia despite accusing US West of being biased by personal connections). I think we should look the Russians' leaders in the eye and say "We are not fools. We know what you've done here and why. You should not take our inaction in this situation to mean there are no limits to your future actions in your precious 'near abroad.' You have won in Georgia but you have lost our respect. What you do next will determine whether you can earn that respect again."Raised By Republicanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461006522141969925noreply@blogger.com
