  • Good Idea!

    I like it!

  • GEEZ, HOW COME NO INVESTIGATION OF 9/11?

    [Read the article: National journalists believe you should trust them]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    it only happened five years ago.

    - Hmm, Bush cousin in charge of security at WTC

    - Bldg 7 (the one with CIA offices) collapses after minor fire

    - 9/11 terrorists trained in CIA owned South FL flight schools

    - 40+ organizations/nations/groups warned 9/11 was imminent

    - Gee, who did short sell that airline stock anyway? Couldn't have been someone who was a former deputy CIA director who now had a brokerage firm in London, could it?

    - And how could our gummint turn the USA into a fascist police state, writing the 900 page wishlist Patriot Act in weeks (really?!?), and start WWIII (it's coming, don't worry, it is too profitable NOT to happen) without having a manufactured enemy to use as a foil?

    - And is anybody looking for 'former' CIA asset bin Laden? Not if you are Bush and shut down the organization chasing bin laden (yes, Bush actually did do this)

    - And what about that 100,000 acre ranch Bush bought in Bolivia last year, after Bolivia vowed not to allow extradition to the World Criminal Court for anyone living in their country? Why would Bush feel the need to do such a thing unless he was INNOCENT?

    any ONE of these alone should raise big flags.

    But since the CIA paid off news editors for decades, I guess, media only reports what it is told to report.

    So, like pretty much everything else in this formerly great nation, media is become a sad, sick

    JOKE

  • Upsetting

    [Read the article: New York's circumcision campaign]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    that so many people think so little of boys.

    As that radio doctor said the other day, so much circumcision means that men are less sensitive and need more stimulation during sex. Doc says the fast, frictiony sex portrayed in porno is the style circed men have to use during sex since slow languid sensual sex is out of the question if the guy wants to get off or to even feel much.

    It is kind of JUSTICE in reverse that women circ men to not get disease, but the result is that sex is so much LESS than it can be for the women too.

    And maybe we do have to appeal to women's vanity to stop this mutilation of boys. After all, if women feel they are missing out on something they can have, much more satisfying sex, they will actually try to get together to stop boy mutilation.

  • UNTIL WOMEN APOLOGIZE

    [Read the article: Porn in theory, porn in practice]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    for reading Cosmo and romance novels with their unrealistic portrayals of how men 'should' be, I think it is ludicrous for any man to apologize for having a libido, for wanting to control his own sexuality, and for being interested in females.

    I do not use porn, I prefer the soft 'porn' of swimwear ads or fashion rags frankly rather than the hard edged stuff.

    But honestly, with his response, I finally see Cary for what he is, which is someone who is always willing to take women's side at the expense of men. Which makes him not only a bad bad person, but also someone whose judgement I can no longer trust.

    Men are human too. Men deserve fair treatment by the media, Cary being part of the media. Men need to begin demanding people lay off men and let men do what men have to do.

  • Really

    when you think about it, LW's boyfriend would be wise to just dump her and find a PRO sexual female to be with.

    You can surmise, that once she has her mitts on controlling how and what he fantasizes, she will pretty soon begin trying to control when and if he and she have sex, what the conditions will be, what positions are acceptable, on and on and on. To paraphrase a famous quote, "we have already determined she hates sexuality, now we are only haggling over how much she hates it".

    Frankly, she really does not deserve and should not have kids. We have enough man hating and sex hating women already on this planet.

  • THIRD CHOICE

    [Read the article: Porn in theory, porn in practice]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Anti-porn crusaders should ask themselves: Porn or adultery, which is better?

    THIRD CHOICE according to feminists: shame men, make them hate their own NATURAL urges, make them hate themselves and with their subsequent low self esteem, they will take out their rage on convenient targets nearby. This then gives feminists justification to call men violent animals.

    My guess, is that the third choice is the popular one among feminists.

  • We can safely say

    [Read the article: Duke players cleared]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    the response to this case by Broadsheet and by many of the women posting on here, who all assumed the guys were guilty, is ample damning evidence that proves just how much irrational hatred of men there is on here.

    Which means I have to work THAT MUCH harder from now on to match this amount of [assumed] gender malice tit for tat. ;)
