The Erotic Review (TER) is more of a Consumer Reports. Speaking as a guy who has to pay for it (ugly and a beta male), I can say that TER is actually quite useful. It is simply too easy to be scammed by these women. From a photo not being accurate, to “It’s just a rub. Anything more is 500 extra”, to outright cash-and-dash.

The ads these women use are necessarily vague. And some women use that vagueness to scam men. TER and other local boards give men a way of communicating with each other. The goal is to stay out of trouble and have a good time. TER and similar boards help in that.

I understand the salacious nature of it, and how broadsheet is looking down their noses at those who post at those sorts of places. But clearly there is a need for such boards.

When I saw a picture of Jessica Simpson wearing that shirt, I thought it was a play on “Real girls have curves”. I suppose the deep political meaning of a four word catch phrase went right past me. But I also suppose that groups like PETA can managed to be offended by just about anything.

What if a doctor told you that the baby you are carrying has a 90% chance of being infertile? Would you view this as “an inherent problem”? I’m sure you would. Well being born homosexual is a good way of insuring you won’t pass on your genes, isn’t it?

Yes, we are all liberal and understanding and have gay friends and all that. But let’s not let it blind us to the biological truth here. Homosexuality is a genetic dead end. If we care about that, then yes, it is a problem.

handing out the sexbots to teen boys.

No! it would be the end of all!

"Ordinarily, Billy would work hard to make money from his paper route. Then he'd use the money to buy dinner for Mavis, thus earning the slim chance to perform the reproductive act. But in a world where teens can date robots, why should he bother? Why should anyone bother?"

"Where are all the football stars? And where are the biochemists? They're trapped! Trapped in a soft, vice-like grip of robot lips. All civilisation was just an effort to impress the opposite sex ... and sometimes, in the case of musical theatre, the same sex."

"Don't Date Robots!"

Perhaps racially unfortunate, but true. Those affected by Katrina really did whine about how the government wasn’t helping them. Those affected by floods in the Midwest really didn’t. They still aren’t.

Maybe the difference isn’t racial. But maybe it is. The cartoonist makes good points with the rest of the comic, especially the “white house” buttons, but the Katrina vs. Midwest issue was a total miss.

Yeah right. What are you going to do, vote republican? It’s a two party system. And both parties stink. Democrats know that all they have to be is a little less awful than republicans, and they have your vote.

Prattle on all you want about kicking them out, but realize that’s all it is. Prattle.

A change in the players doesn’t matter. The game hasn't.

I watched the video and she didn’t strike me as terribly snappy with the comebacks. She struck me as someone who was trying hard to not let on that it bothered her.

some would rather operate from prejudice than take an honest look at where we stand in America.

Yes, it would appear that way. Some people will simply never have the courage to take an honest look at where we stand in America. Sticking to their ideology, unquestioningly, and attacking those that think otherwise seems to be much more in fashion.

Includes such things as oysters, hydroponics, hay vs straw, solar water heaters, a bible verse, British law as it relates to firearms, etc.

All this proves is that information can be had easily. With the Internet, I can get access to information that I have only marginal interest in.

I have no large or compelling interest in much of what I search for. If I had to go to the library to look it up, I wouldn’t go through the bother. But because information retrieval is so trivial with the Internet, I can indulge in whatever fancy strikes me.

Seeing lots of hits for any of the above doesn’t mean my community approves or even knows of these things. It just proves they are easy to research.

Is because women almost always marry up. Speaking for myself and most men I’ve talked to, they don’t care a whole lot about their partner’s career. But ask any woman, and you bet she cares. She cares enough to make it one of the first questions she asks a guy on the first date.

The newsflash isn’t that these women are getting married. It’s that these women are marrying down. That truly is something rare enough to comment on.

I know all the women at BS are just so ecstatic over Carly. She’s a woman! She’s powerful! She’s a CEO! But let’s put things in perspective. Carly Fiorina presided over the worst downward slide in HP’s entire history. She was asked to resign by the board of directors. HP stock jumped up almost 10% when she did.

In a way, Carly is a lot like Hillary. Her supporters care more that she is female than they do about her abilities.

By civilized nations, sure.

The Israeli Government of Ariel Sharon is, like its predecessors, committed to the policy of assassinating individuals who it believes pose a threat to its citizens.

Israeli officials have at times boldly admitted that the policy exists and is being pursued vigorously.
