I know we largely agree, but my pet peeve is that I DO see too much conditioning among women that they are 'viiiiictims' of their choices and that therefore they are not responsible for the choices.
I mean, how can a woman take blame for the 'bad man', after all, he was SO HOT in those jeans. It is such a ubiquitous attitude among many women that I am surprised you do not see it.
Yet, I see the same tired demonization of men, those men who marry someone who turns on them-- "well didn't these men see it coming?" "Why DID they choose her?" "Maybe the men DESERVE IT."
Goose, meet gander.
Can't you see, I WANT women to be powerful in their lives, to not take shit from men.
This becomes utterly impossible when the women cede power to their 'urges'. But who would tell women, EXCEPT FOR ME, that they cannot have the douchey bad boy user man for the night when they damn well know he will be gone by morning?
All this means ZIPPO, except that men chase women and that men who understand the GAME get much more tail. This is all that matters to some (many younger) men [particularly those trapped in an endless sex desert by false teachings-- such as those posited by FEMINISTS, for instance]. Anyway, the rest is academic.
women are selecting badly = women are "perpetrators" = women are "guilty"
Why is this NOT right?
Women, NOT MEN, are the gatekeepers of sexual relations.
The only exception to this is caveman drag back to cave style RAPE. So naturally men are at the disadvantage and at the mercy of the women.
Or do you see something I do not see?
If you are the gatekeeper, be prepared to take the heat for who is let in.
Again, why do women continually try to WEASEL OUT of their obligations? Should I be following women's lead and doing the same to women in return? IS that what a sign of MATURITY IS?
I do not get the reticency...
Eight years of REALLY BAD decisions.
McSame did not disappoint.
The Dums ought to make mincemeat out of Palin. Tell everyone that the American people are SICK of bad decision making (which they ARE) in the White House and that the selection of Palin is MORE OF THE SAME bad decision making.
We are hostages of an insane and violent regime (and the enabler American population) hellbent on placing fear into all of us who have consciences and hearts.
Apparently all this is so that they can conduct more illegal wars around the planet.
I gave up several years ago believing in the concept of an inherent GOODNESS in people, considering 'goodness' to be a learned trait.
When many people were hollering about the criminality of the Patriot Act in 2002, many on the left were hiding behind the bushes, twiddling their thumbs, holding NOBODY accountable.
Repeat and rinse this same pattern for the next FOUR YEARS, by which point you people began to roust and think that just maybe if you vote in your friendly dUmocrats, they will save your hides.
All the while you people continued to ignore the reality that the dUmocraPs and the repuLSICKans were one and the same and united when it came to installation of an unaccountable dicktater above us all.
So why bitch and moan NOW? Take your hits, admit you people were completely asleep at the wheel for SEVEN WHOLE YEARS and let's get on with helping govern this Fascist Nation once and for all.
A bunch of people being teargassed and eventually killed in the streets by overwhelming force will do something to CHANGE THIS?
Puhleeze, the world has had ENOUGH of America for the next few centuries already. What would they do IF THEY EVEN COULD?
Admit you thought at first that all this militarism was kind of cool and submit to being sent to the American Prison Camps that have already been set up for you people.
You thought all the independent reports coming out from the uderground for years-- about the cattle car trains, the prison camps set up on military bases, etc, etc, were some sort of JOKE?!?
LIVE IT, LOVE IT. Your arrogance is what did you lefties in.
Personally, I do not think the vast majority of America will come to save your hides either. Most people are Nazis inside when it comes down to it.
It worked that way in Germany, I do not see it being any different in the States.
Does anyone see another alternative than the one I describe?
I imagine y'all hollering back and forth is similar to people choosing their favorite deck chair on the Titanic and lovingly arranging it.
The whole ship is going down, people. It will make not one whit of difference which clown occupies the White House in 09, they are both corrupt, bought, totalitarian dictators.
Put it another way, pro or anti life, pro or anti gay marriage-- these are not real issues. Not when you won't be able to go down to the corner grocery to buy milk in a few years without having an anal probe conducted on you.
about false flag operatives causing havoc in order to demonize the protestors?
