yeah. huh?

And for Jim and Brightstar, last I heard, condoms and abstinence are available options for men, too.

Abstinence works as the perfect birth control for women TOO. Gee, how come women never trot this out as their solution to unwanted pregnancies? I guess only men are to suffer and be denied pleasure. Boy, that FEMINISM sure looks out for us men, don't it.

Men have three mediocre options. NEVER have sex. Wear something that rids one of all pleasure. Or nearly permanently close off the pipe.

I am beginning to believe that if we men have to suffer, women ALSO ought to. I can see why historically this has been the way people have viewed things.

I've never understood this PSEUDO argument

Once a woman is pregnant, she no longer has the freedom to decide how her life should go. Her fate is sealed, and it's her damn fault for being such a slut in the first place.

Once a MAN is 18, HE no longer has the freedom to decide how HIS life should go [CLUE: men and men ONLY are FORCED to sign up for selective service to save YOUR asses] HIS fate is sealed, and it's HIS damn fault for being SO PENIS LADEN in the first place.

Here is ANOTHER one:

Once a PERSON is a MURDERER, she/he no longer has the freedom to decide how her/his life should go. Her/his fate is sealed, and it's her/his damn fault for being such a MURDERER in the first place.

Feminists arguments make no sense. But what to expect from women-- too selfish, too hyper entitled, too spoiled, too irresponsible. Men would not be able to pull such shit that women get away with.

You have FOURTEEN+ forms of birth control women. USE some of them. I only WISH, every evening, men had a birth control pill.

Until the day

women die during childbirth in the SAME numbers men died during WWII saving YOUR asses, you should be ASHAMED as hell to even make such a comparison.

I think men should be able to enjoy the physical danger of pregnancy too.

Reprehensible, but what to expect from FEMINISTS?

Women off the hook YET AGAIN

Let's reiterate the happenings of the past eight years. Evil Dubya was put into power DESPITE being suspected of harboring ill will towards the nation (ample evidence of his cronyism was in the media at the time). It was WOMEN who thought the stronger candidate was Bullshista-- they wanted someone who projected brute strength-- they voted him into power.

Of course evil will do what evil will do, and he proceeded with initiating his War Against The Planet, beginning with allowing the CIA to stage 9/11 as a pretext to locking down the world's SECOND LARGEST OIL RESERVES, in Iraq, and THUS inflating the market to assinine proportions (as we see this very day). Anyone remeber thos SECRET energy meetings a few years ago? What do you all think THAT was about but PRECISELY what we see today in the markets.

Of course, women not paying attention to the chicanery of the first Cabal Term RESELECTED Bullshie yet AGAIN in 2004.

TODAY we read an article abotu women moaning that prices are too high to raise kids.

WHEN will you women begin to take control of the world situation and PREVENT yourselves from being fooled by evil hooligans with ILL INTENT against the people of this nation?

Sure, men voted for Bush too, but it was women who were taken by his 'show' (and it WAS a show) of strength.

uhhm

where girls are encouraged to be sluts and boys are encouraged to be 'playas'.

Girls do not need encouragement to be slutty. They seem to take to it quite naturally themselves.

Likewise boys need no encouragement to be playas. The smarter one pick up quickly that girls have no need for 'nice' but do chase after jerky bad boys with ease.

When women lament that the burden of sexual tenor between the genders is on them, remind them that they are the ones putting their bodies out for 'sale' from a young age.

I think

tards, I mean people, confuse 'strong' with 'burnt'.

I never understood why SB burned their beans. My best guess was that they were lousy beans to begin with and the burning of them was done to mask the lack of quality in the beans.

Good delicious coffee is strong and interesting. The best SB ever seemed to come up with was a more fresh tasting BURNT bean.

Maybe some people like burnt tasting beans, maybe some got used to it over the decades-- kind of like how this New England kid is appalled whenever I come upon a local pizza joint down here in Texas and the stuff is utter CRAP but the locals, not knowing better, think it is great.

Pike Place roast is a step up for SB, it is smoother and tastier. That is when they are on their game. The last few times I've bought their coffee, it seemed watered down, maybe the beans are again being roasted months ahead of time or else they are adding too little coffee for the amount of water they are putting in. But that is THEIR problem, isn't it...

Luckily most of us have options and can walk across the street to another, better place. Support your local businesses you should anyway.

HALLO!

Nail square on head!

Eff that! If women want respect from men, they should give it in turn.

And there is the crux of the problem. Disrespect of males is INSTITUTIONALIZED and officially sanctioned in our society. An agenda constantly further pushed forward by FEMINISTS.
