Ok... we have established by your own admission that you are lazy. I will not take the time to do any research for you, or to locate what you would need to at least admit your definition isn't the standard for all.
That's fine with me, but in the absence of any proof on what "the original meaning" is, I suggest we'll not use that as an argument anymore. I don't mind if you personally use another definition than I, just don't give it the ring of original authenticism if you can't substantiate it.

The "just" in my statement is because, as I said, I consider BDSM just activities. D/s and M/s are what I consider to be who and what we are. I can't state that any clearer. Believe what you want... call it what you want... I am not saying your opinions are wrong.
It's fine if you consider yourself to BE M/s or D/s. I understand (honestly, I know quite a few 24/7 and TPE people among my friends). BUT to say that what I do ("BDSM") is "just an activity" is just plain rude. We are lifestylers. We invest a whole lot of time in researching japanese style bondage, acquiring and maintaining the skills to take bondage to our limits, maintiaing a free educational+art website and teach bondage safety classes. And if we're not, we're likely to be doing rope care. That's not just an activity, that's who WE are, even though we do not have a M/s or D/s relationship (tried that, doesn't work for us). In terms of being something versus doing something, M/s & D/s is not the only thing that you can be.

As far as countries go.... last I checked, Colorado was in the USA.
Sure thing. But IIRC I was referring to the possibility that it might be a peculiarity of MY country, and last I checked The Hague isn't located in the USA.
