Original article: The Islamists are coming

The Islamists

are the bought and paid for Trojan Horse leading to the US eventually succumbing to internationalist fascism. The money folks in Europe, the ones not beholden to any nation, desire for the planet to be completely subdued. Surveillance and tracking technology will finally make the whole planet the beyond-1984 police state they have been dreaming about for generations. Make no mistake, most people on this planet are too stupid to see this for what it actually is, so it WILL come to pass, the only question being "HOW SOON?".

And people wonder why I have no faith in humanity.

Why should she be dissuaded

from the time honored tradition of women stealing husbands? There is a Darwinian legacy that needs to be honored. Go ahead and convince him to drop the wife and go with you. You are doing it for future generations.

Puhhhleeeeze

And send all those guys dying to be househusbands my way.

I know alot of girls who'd love them. And we know how to fix broken stuff too.

Every time I read something like this I have to gag. Most fo you women, if you actually had a situation like this, would consider the man a slacker who was below you, which would quickly lead to a dissolution of the marriage (...then again, isn't that what is happening to MOST marriages?)

Accept my apologies

Actually, you ARE slacking...you forgot to add "American" to "most of you women." Because as we all know, it's completely logical for the women of a society to be completely at fault, and the men of the same society to be angels.

sure! Time to turn the tables for a change since we men always get all the blame. I agree with you.

You kidding?

I'd be all over it, being a SAHD, in a heartbeat if I felt it was a plausible situation and I was with the right person.

Hell, I clean better than most women I know. And I would be able to do the things in my spare time that I never have the time to do working the grind to 'legitimize' myself in the eyes of women.

My brother is a SAHD and he laughs when he and his one year old twins go somewhere and the women look at him like "oh, dad got the day off from work and is having some precious time with his kids!". He LOVES being a SAHD, even with twins. Of course his marriage is more of a roommate thing at this point, who knows how much the SAHD thing is part of it.

Fortunately

If she cheated and he found out, he would clean her out since she comes from a richer family, has a big inheritance, and obviously makes more money now than he does. And he has become as much of an ardent masculist/humanist as I am (thanks to his older brother, wink, wink), so I know he would do the deed (and likely get the kids, since he is with them day to day). Turnabout is fair play.

That explains AKA

She does not like housework so she looked for any excuse to snake out of it by blaming the guy for having expectations. And here I thought I was dealing with a legitimate person all this time.

I will have to remember, if I get in the situation of doing the housework, to just drop the task altogether the moment she criticizes any of it, and make her do it or shut up. Seems to work according to AKA-Snake.
