a deal with the devil

Do you have any idea how many jokes there are about men's wives, suggesting they shouldn't have married them? If it's true that most men know the difference between good women and bad women, then many of them must have drank this knowledge to a stupor.

That only underscoares how few choices men really have in life.

If men want to reproduce, they HAVE to marry a woman.

Women, knowing men are in such a bind, decide to do as they please within the marriage.

After all, society supports intact families, and blames the men 100% for marriages that go bad.

So men, being powerless, knowing they would be cleaned out and their kids and house taken by the (female driven) court system, do the next best thing, which is to make light of their predicament by joking about it.

Good women and bad women? Puhleeze, there ARE no good women in America unless they come from an isolated religious sect or they are young and ignore the media. The remainder, to some degree, ply the same game: "snag the guy, do as you please"

The "do as you please" part is the stinker, because after the marriage contract is enacted, the fault with a marriage that goes bad lies 100% with the poor man. It is a deal with the DEVIL.

to qualify the above

I am sure there are several million decent women in this country who do NOT do what I described. They were all taken off the market VERY quickly.

Of the few single ones that remain, if they are still young, their good side has to be balanced against their bad side, which is why they likely remain alone.

THINK ABOUT IT: Most men WANT to marry (and most men DO), yet hundreds of millions of women walk the streets lamenting that no man wants to marry them. what exactly does that TELL YOU about the women?

I don't understand

why leftists do NOT support Ron Paul.

After all, he is about LIBERTY and FREEDOM and believes in legalization of drugs, police out of people's lives, no more illegal wars.

Then again, I suppose supporting someone like this would mean the lefties would not get their welfare paychecks anymore from that state so they could continue their easy lifestyles.

That is the only thing that can explain it.

As for lefties supporting Democrats, the Democrats are FOR bigger military, more drug war, more control over people's lives.

Maybe the explanation is that lefties just DO NOT THINK. Makes sense, based on so many of the responses I read on Salon posted by lefties.

Oh, and as for 9/11 being a conspiracy theory, it is not a conspiracy theory but a conspiracy FACT. Why else would the government be so eager to whitewash the events of that day, why would they be so eager to ignore so many of the points brought up by others, to tear down the evidence and melt it down, to stonewall and not be interviewed, to lie about Osama bin Laden and Saddam and the Saudis and Mossad and their hand in all of this? Why did a two bit Mayor of a city on the other side of the continent KNOW not to fly on a plane the morning of 9/11 anyway? (he, one of many thousands, by the way)

And what of the standdown of Norad and fighters? What of the fact that more military exercices were conducted on the East Coast of the US on that morning that at any day in history BEFORE or AFTER 9/11?

Call it conspiracy theory, but there is a reason more than half the nation suspects 9/11 is not being revealed for what it truly is.

Then again, just who is paying you to continue to pooh pooh the 9/11 truthers anyway?
