God help us
The more I find out about Palin, the more she GENUINELY frightens me.
All her jabbering about God's will betrays her genuine arrogance and disregard for humanity. What in the FUCK does she know about what God (GOD!!) thinks?
Imagine her finger on the nuclear button. "destroying the world was God's PLAN!"
who is it cutting your checks? CIA? NSA? Homeland Security? some other unknown three letter entity?
You make no sense, only trash people on here.
If a nation is to be defended, then YES, those who endeavor to overthrow it need to be exterminated. This could not be more obvious. There is NO other answer.
That you fail to see this MUST mean you are up to no good. Live it.
Because we would not want men to have the same sexual freedoms women have-- namely to breed LEGALLY at will as often as desired and ALSO entertain as many lovers at the same time as desired.
Men, of course, can do it illegally by sleeping around and not using their real names.
But then maybe this is the ONLY valid alternative model for men to use. No wonder men do it, it is the ONLY choice men have if they want the freedom women enjoy in life.
that's a lot of money to be going to supporting irresponsible teen sex.
any chance you guys can spend $5mil next year to support teen drug junkies' habits too?
maybe if the trailer trash shut their legs for once, their daughters might not be begging for society to cover their asses.
But from this interview, the first time I have been exposed to him, I see him as a lucid, smart guy who understands that politics is not a parlor game.
I do not know if I do agree with his assessments of how this election may go-- alas, there is an entrenched disdain for pulling the lever for a mere n***er in this society-- but I do believe if not the presidency, then the Dumcraps will at the very least solidify their position in the house and senate.
Palin scares the bejesus out of me. Obama only scares me to the extent that he will become the most powerful dictatorial fascist-socialist in the history of the world. The iron fist will be a little bit softer in Obama's case, I suppose.
Really, I do not trust Americans to be WISE and to vote in GOOD people like Ron Paul who want to remove the threat of tyranny haning above all our heads. (they said what happened in Germany could never happen here...yeah, sure. We've GOT our answer)
In this way, Koz does nobody a service by supporting the same old tired Dumcrap party candidates-- it is all roughly the same party, Dumcrap or Repulsican-- both are into vast unaccountable government overlooking peons they can control and eliminate at will.
I, Sarah Pailin, am a neandertahl book burning, hypocritical freak.
I adore the possibility that God will whisper in MY ear (no one else's. mine) that I need to press the red button to end this world and to bring about his Son's PROMISED return. I feel so special.
Oh, and you all suck because I am prettier.
thank you.
This is a tricky question.
There is no doubt she has a well proportioned face, smooth looking skin, a bright smile, enthusiasm, intelligence (which IS sexy).
Me personally? She is not MY type. I do not like the 'plastic' dolly or cheerleader look.
I used that comment in my prior post because she DOES seem quite self possessed and KNOWS how much her looks help her with her agenda and maneuvering around old white guys to get her way.
And though she is not someone I would be into, one cannot deny many think she is cute, having been runner up in some pageant or something.
all I want as a man is to have the SAME freedoms and rights as women do when it comes to sex, procreation, and life in general
Brighstar seems confused; he thinks women just love running around getting pregnant, (which basically justifies men running around engaging in unprotected heterosexual sex).
So many trailer trash women DO seem to engage in this with great ZEAL. There must be something to this or else what-- they are exceedingly stupid? Why don't you ask them about it?
This kind of thinking always raises the question: which came first man or woman, and which one ‘causes’ more sex to happen?
Here we go. No woman, unless she is RAPED by the man, is forced into sex. So, which gender DOES cause more sex to happen? True, if men all hid from women, there would be less sex until women got off their duffs and began chasing the men for once. But to claim men make more sex happen as if it is a unilateral decision on the part of men is a despicable argument for you to be making.
The point is, women like sex as much as men, only they are more prone to get pregnant as a result ….. in fact Brightstar 2 just seems confused. Angry. And confused.
Maybe it is my fault in not having explained my position clearly enough. For this, I apologize.
Men often react that way to ‘women’s issues’ mainly because they HATE to be implicated in these issues.
Glad you figured this out without any facts to back it up.
Blinded as they are to the fact that ‘women’s issues’ are in fact social issues. They implicate the whole of society.
So you ADMIT that women's issues affect all of society, yet you women refuse to have society or even lowly men have any say in or limits placed on what women can do or how they can behave. You want to be totally free agents.
Well great! Now allow us men to be just as irresponsible and unburdened too and let's see how society turns out, shall we?
