  • Eastern European people are often very racist and homophobic

    "The smelly mustelid emerges from its fetid burrow.

    I did not bash American women in my post. Go back to your limulous home, fat nasty beaver!"

    Hey Parson Jim, by "fetid burrow" and "limulous home," do you mean the investment bank where i work, or my upper east side apartment?

    Rob Anderson, you are so totally right about Eastern Europe people and their traditions and beliefs.

  • Oh Anna

    I was on these boards for a long time and took a few months off.

    A suitable wife for Parson Jim and Brightstar is a woman who is traditional and conservative, who will indugle their every whim, but who will deal with their incessant complaining and self-loathing, and just give them constant reinforcement. Brightstar once suggested that his ideal woman is Camille Paglia, which was pretty hilarious since she's a lesbian and has no tolerance for weak and whiny people.

    A suitable wife, for example, never complains, but listens to Parson Jim's nonstop whining with rapt attention.

    Basically, a id-based fantasy -- she does everything you want her to do without you having to ask, like cook, clean, have sex, raise kids, and doesn't do anything you don't want her to do, like refuse sex, get angry, have a job, be independent, complain.

    These women don't exist out of their own free will, my fat friends (this means you, Brightstar). The only time any woman may come close is when she is marrying a man to extricate herself from a very poor country or a desperate situation, like in Russia or Ukraine. But once she gets the greencard, baby, she's outta there.

  • omg, are you kidding?

    Broadsheet's authors apparently do not know how utterly invisible and unwanted most American men feel day-to-day. Until, that is, we go overseas, and discover that there are about a billion women on the planet who do not necessarily regard us with contempt or indifference. Women in America take for granted, and usually scorn, attention from the opposite sex;

    Where do you people live? I find this completely amazing. AMany men and women i know are often getting checked out and chatted up.

    Unfortunately, making a man happy does not tend to be near the top of their list -- so please forgive those who travel abroad in order to feel connected with the human race -- a connection American women take for granted.

    "Making a man happy"? Uh, are you kidding? Are men so pathetic that they can't make themselves happy? And where do men list on their list of priorities, "making a woman happy"? And what exactly does "making a man/woman happy" mean?

    and "feel connected with the human race"? are american men and women no longer part of the human race? are american men completely incapable of connecting with either gender except when they don't speak the same language and have some foreign drinks in them?

  • Wonder Woman, Think Twice

    Now I get it.

    Reading diligently only for a short while, I was never quite sure why so many posters loathed and disrespected LeCastor until this.

    "do you mean the investment bank where i work, or my upper east side apartment?"

    What an arrogant, bitchy thing to say. No reason, no intelligence, just 100% self congratulatory put down. So sad. I wanted her to be smart, thoughtful and interesting.

    -- wonder woman

    Well, if what I said was "arrogant" and "bitchy," I would like to know what you would call what Parson Jim said to me:

    "The smelly mustelid emerges from its fetid burrow.

    I did not bash American women in my post. Go back to your limulous home, fat nasty beaver!"

    which is what sparked my "arrogant" and "bitchy" response. To put it mildly, he and I have months of name-calling behind us, and I know that my reaction may seem unduly harsh at first glace, but it is not just for what he said to me this time, it is also for all the months of name-calling that he has so graciously provided.
