Child Protective Services to the notified of routine adult masturbastion

Quick! Thousands of sperm are dying, being murdered.

Antiabortionists aren't against abortion, they are against sex without guilt. Otherwise they'd be passing out condoms.

Richmond is another universe where this is normal...I know

I've lived near Richmond for over 10 years. I've worked in Richmond and now I own a home 4 miles from Richmond. Mindless killing, people burning corpses, gun fire on the freeway, gang rapes...this is all par for the course.

One of my neighbors was just shot and killed at random in Richmond. He had no gang or crime affiliations of any kind. Just drove through, stopped and a light and was killed while waiting for the light to change.

The place is an absolute hole. I will not let my wife drive through Richmond and I certainly know what parts of it to avoid. Just about anything inside the "iron triangle".

This is the environment these kids come from.

WOW - It a good thing women don't serve in the military...oh wait

This story would be funny if it weren't true.

Entertainment with a purpose - It'll get my $10 when it comes to town

and just to add my two cents...

There is no such thing as terrorism, there's just conflict. Everything else is just budget, tactics and PR.

You can't keep weapons out of a prison!

A determined and clever individual will get a weapon on a plane.

Airport security is mostly expensive window dressing. It perpetuates a culture of fear that coaxes people to hand over freedom.

Travel the world using airports and train stations and you'll quickly see how silly the "American" system is.

Women have more to loose so they got birth control first, now it's mens turn

Pregnancy tends to effect women a tad more than men so it's no surprise birth control for women came first.

That said, it sure would be nice to have a pill option for us men. Beats having to pour tabasco sauce in the condom or worry about the women who lie or sabotage their birth control to nab themselves some child support along with their sperm donor.

Us men want freedom of choice to!

Original article: Our laws condone torture

Torture isn't just wrong...it's sloppy amature intel work

Under torture you'll to say anything. This is hardly a reliable way of gathering facts.

Why is this basic point missed by pundits?

Excellent Report...REAL journalism

Getting beyond soundbites and easy analogies of typical dumbed down news.

Perhaps this isn't the whole truth but the author is hard on its' trail.

Non story

Not worth the pixels...search for "shock" some place else.

Original article: No more Mr. Nice Guy

Kate? Do you have any male friends...you need to talk to them

This article is shallow and stretching. Talk to a few of your male "friends", you'll start getting it.

There are 1000s of guys who've played by the rules, been nice and been left holding the bag. They are bitter and it's grows and eventually they pop like this guy.

Original article: Stand by your man, redux

Trite but True - If you love someone set them free

I see this as real LOVE. Sometimes people need to sort stuff out on their own, especially men. Would a man do the same for his wife. I would, even if it meant possibly losing her company. I love her.

Saturday, August 1, 2009 09:22 AM

They talk to invisable men and think the earth is 6000 years old!

Hello! These dingbats are sad but dangerous morons.

Single Men, put a (fake) ring on it...get hit on --- Well done marketing though

Never got hit on until I got the wedding ring. Now that I've made the commitment girls want to be the other woman. What's that say about American women?

Brilliant marketing to snotty women though. Hats off to the agency who did it.

Original article: An officer and a hijab

Make sure the SWAT team has the right underwear on when they storm the Mormon temple

This is just silly. Religious people have got to learn to deal with the "outside" world, not the other way around.

Don't ruin mens favorite spectator sport

"She asked for it", oh I loathe that one. Apart from being completely disrespectful it has the potential to ruin it for the rest of us decent guys.

Nothing affirms the joy of life more for us men than the sight of a well dressed healthy woman.

Rather than blame the real problem, men behaving like dolts or worse, criminals. Blaming the woman creates a culture of fear in which women are afraid to look attractive.

That state of affairs serves no one, except religious nuts and Burka manufacturers.

Rebel without a salad

The article engaged in gender stereotyping then complains about it.

No sympathy from this big muscled man who drinks yogurt, loves salad and fights with his wife over who gets the last BBQ pork spare rib.

Most of us just eat what we like...go hunt for some real gender issues. This one's a little trumped up.

Set each one up with a twitter account and a facebook page

They'll be easier to manage that way and stay out of your hair.

Original article: Sexual chocolate

It's all about positioning ever seen YORKIE "It's not for girls" chocolate bars

They are sold in the UK.

Classic marketing strategy really, I tip my marketers hats too them.

This is the group that least likely to admit to emotional decisions as well

Financial folks wrap their emotional decisions in shrouds of speadsheets in an attempt to justify them. They usually can only reason in a linear fashion and scoff at anything that is subjective.

This sadly means that they are unlikely to benefit from the wisdom of this research.

Pack a Bag and Hit the Road

Ohhh to be in this man's position and still be young enough to do something about it. Try feeling this way when you're 40.

Hit the road and taste life. You're going to learn some hard lessons and experience some downers but it'll be the time of your life.

See airtreks.com and GET OUT.

Original article: Pakistani pop singer killed

Go get em Tracy...Oppression in the name of "Religeon" gets a free pass

There's a story here Tracy, keep on digging at it.

If this were a government policy, it'd be roundly condemned. Since this oppression is masked as "religious" it's considered out of bounds to criticize it

Reminds me of a sentence a crazy guy kept shouting when captured by police here in the USA..."No No, you don't understand, it's OKAY, God told me to kill them."

Eeek a nipple!

Somedays you gotta just be embarrassed for your species. Murder, disease, economic mayhem, and the highest court in the land weighs in on the unsightliness of nipples.

What a pair - Both Undertalented & Over Hyped and unrespected by experts

I watch politics like other people watch sports and I work in the powersports industry.

American Choppers is a show for people who don't know squat about bikes, they have no respect in the "bike industry".

They're perfect for each other.

But will the ad help stop domestic violence?

The question is not a matter of violence level or how if the roles were reversed the man would be laughed at.

The question is...

Is the add effective? Do you think it will stop domestic violence?

I have "issues" with Keira Knightly. I find her so alluring I have difficulty listening to her lines. As such I'm a poor judge of the question.
