to see the level of discussion thrown at me whenever someone has an issue with something I say.
I will make some sort of statement and the disagreers (alright, I made it up. sue me) on here will use AS THEIR MOST VALID COUNTERARGUMENT, apparently, that I somehow imply that it is ALWAYS the case, everytime.
This never fails. Apparently the most cogent argument they can lodge against me is that somehow I am implying that something is always the case.
NOTHING is ever always the case, except sometimes.
SO when I say that there is a deep 4 BILLION year history embedded in our genes of men being achievers and benefitting from it through being handed the right to reproduction, well, take it for what it is worth. It is not in ALL cases, but it is a deep impetus.
A man is free to challenge it and many men do. This is why we feel we have freedom on this planet. We can become bums, roaming the streets, if we do not want an attractive woman in our lives.
But do not dare to tell me that it is possible in this universe that Sarah Palin or Jessica Biel or Rachel Weisz would EVER, in a trillion years, court and marry a street bum.
This sort of liberal whatever (piffle?, folderal?) that passes for thinking is tiresome in the extreme.
LET ME REPEAT: I never say "in every case"
Did you hear what I just said?
I will REPEAT ONE LAST TIME.
Nothing is ever ALWAYS the case.
Do you need more detail or a more precise explanation??? Put the bong down already and just ask.
GEEZ
(...easy for libs to imagine pretend angels on pretend pins when they can wipe away evolutionary tendencies and genetic impulses so swiftly...)
And if a woman or man feels diminished by this natural instinct, take it up with God.
I wuv you too! We need people like you to stir up the comments with intelligent debate. Keep it coming!!!
Sweetie, you should have seen me posting on here a couple of years ago. I lit this place like a bonfire with my righteous indignation. They didn't know what hit 'em.
I am more mellow now because so many good people have stepped up to supplement/take over my role as counterbalances to the out-of-control [unchallenged] liberalism.
(I am centrist moderate libertarian-- social lib, fiscal conservative, by the way. Like you and Camille Pags, I too think Palin is a game changer who will become much greater in future years)
Anyone else on this thread care to weigh in?
Men will never be free nor will they be equal to women unless and until men acquire the ability to conceive and bear children on their own, without the need or use of women (as women have NOW).
I have come to this hard conclusion after three decades of consideration of men and women and how universally women betray, manipulate and use men.
As a result, I am completely against the Equal Rights Amendment or any other rights for women until and if this issue is ALSO brought into the sphere of public thinking.
This issue is paramount in importance and there is no turning back. It WILL become significant in the future. It will be the issue that breaks women.
It is obvious that men cannot trust women. Women are programmed to gain as much as they can, even at the expense of men. Men go to war and die, women gloat and bitch.
Worse yet, unlike men, women do not feel the need to be good or nice or reciprocating or even to pay attention to what men want or need. This is unlike men, who DO pay attention to what women say and DO try to accommodate women's needs. You can see, there is no reciprocity and men are STILL made to feel guilty and as if they owe something anyway. There is no 'fairness'.
So be it. I am just saying. The good times are increasingly OVER for women. They will be made OPTIONAL and IRRELEVANT one day, soon enough.
Maybe then, women might actually HAVE to be nice to men for a change.
