    P.S. According to the story, circumcision was instituted by a man (Abraham) at the request of a Father God. In cultures where circumcision is practiced for ritual or religious reasons, it is handled exclusively by men, with no women involved, and is regarded as a passage into manhood. Which makes it damn ironic that brightstar keeps blaming WOMEN FOR IT!

    That women continue to fan the flames in FAVOR of circumcision never matters, because women are not responsible for anything they say or do.

  • WHY WHY WHY?

    would Mr. Blumenthal dare to get in the way of the final assault against the human spirit?

    once the fascisti (left AND right both) tack down everyone to implants and tracking 24/7, then will come the mind control programs, Matrix style.

    secret black projects number in the trillions of dollars- exotic weaponry, mind control, weather modification, cyber economic terrorism.

    endless peace and tranquility, thanks to the extremists in both camps working together to create a planet of proles and their eternal, and eternally flawed, godlike elites.

    sounds like a fun future that will come sooner or later, but it WILL come.

    because who, praytell, is strong enough morally to stop it? Security is Strength. and we have given away our privacy already and we are no more secure, but LESS.

    The FIST is coming down. The boot is preparing to crush.

    my guess is we have seen NOTHING YET.

  • IT HAS BEEN KNOWN

    [Read the article: Are you addicted to semen?]

    for several years that semen has anti depression compounds, at lelast that is what scientists reported a couple of years ago. I do not know if they have determined what the compounds are yet.

  • ALL I EVER WANTED

    It must really be hard for you, not being able to have sex with the kind of women you think you deserve, and then feeling angry and resentful about it. That's really what every single one of your posts boils down to, doesn't it?

    all it boils down to is that I think I deserve what my dad had, which was a nice decent relatively good looking girl, (called my mom).

    This was when I was in my 20s and 30s pining for that person.

    In my forties I have decided that the culture is so poisoned and the women in it feeling so smug and entitled that finding a good person NEVER guarantees that she will not EVENTUALLY bore with me and drop me (because it is so easy to drop guys in this society).

    I guess I am OLD FASHIONED in my belief that marriage is for life. In the age of disposable relationships and marriages, I am a throwback apparently. sue me.

  • sure!

    To do this scientifically, you would first have to separate out other motives:

    1. The guy was good looking.

    2. The guy was intelligent.

    3. They had much in common with the guy as revealed by conversation.

    4. They thought he might be Mr. Right.

    There are guys who do not have to lift a finger to get sex. They have one or more of the above traits. Most other guys who do not qualify finally figure out that they are nogo until they figure out another way, the way of the Game. Certainly, the Game tells guys confidence is everything, making them APPEAR more good looking and intelligent. 3 and 4 are likewise manipulable.

    If the guy qualified as none of the above and closed the deal by means of manipulation, then she (the woman) has been had, but only if she didn’t have a serious yen to have sex in the first place.

    Back to your not-so-scientific roommate study. Were you able to determine any of the above? Did the guys declare themselves players and discuss their actual tactics? Did any of them were skirts or makeup? Do elaborate.

    One guys was clasically good looking. The problem is that women's egos condition them to accept sex with good looking guys on the assumption that 1. they deserve a good looking guy just because they are so great, and 2. good looking guys are fairer and more just and therefore will stay forever with her once they get to discover her [great] traits. Both of which are WRONG assumptions, hence my scorn towards most women for their bad choices.

    Anyway, Adonis went thru women like a monkey through bananas. The other guy was scrawny, average looking, but he was a good talker and charming hung out with Adonis and studied Adonis's moves (Adonis DID have some Game too but I suspect it is in his DNA), so scrawny got his share of wimmin too.

    I speak from personal experience that therefore I do not hold out hope that average guys get any choices in this matter, THEY HAVE LITTLE TO NO CHOICE IN WHO THEY GET TO HAVE, but they do get the leftovers. The way out of this is unfortunately to become a good manipulator ala the Game. Something I wish I had known at age 16, rather than being fed a bunch of bullshit pap (about being a good peerson and a nice guy) via the feminist run public school systems.

  • Ron Paul is the last hurrah

    [Read the article: Ron Paul is blowing up real good]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    and the final stop sign of a dying empire about to lay a final blow into our dwindling rights.

    Like it or not, the only thing Ron Paul will do is give the other clowns some good material to coopt.
