We've gotten past the niceties. The Foreign Policy community has unmasked itself at the highest levels in writing no less as an unconscionable fraud. If we don't talk about the true underlying driving these policies, which are not the pundits advocates themselves, or the congressmen, we are not really solving anything.
So you are finally willing to discuss the $400 TRILLION Elite Internationalist Banking System that truly pulls the strings?
makes little squeaky noises.
then I change hands.
that is just disgusting.
Like a guy who never brushes his teeth.
On Yahoo This Morning- from Christian Science Monitor
In Ethiopia, one man's model for a just society
"..men cook, women plow.."
works for me!
The juries are rigged-- hardly consisting of one's peers.
Of course, the extreme interpretation would lead to a child molester having a jury of fellow child molesters judging him, but in general, the process of the elites homogenizing society with a common set of bland and safe homilies has worked well to indict anyone who falls too far outside the norm.
and absorb that most of society is much more deeply fucked up than you.
I have the same problem. My trick: I pretend in my mind that I am stoned and it mostly goes away. The stoned part is my trick to prevent me from showing my judgemental face, but the actual stoned look does not seem to translate across. It helps that I am primarily a creative type, so I can put on the easygoing face. But people have wondered if I am stoned sometimes-- the good thing, who cares if fucked up dweebs who cannot put their life together think you are stoned?

dudes.
The majority of society is very good at acting and putting on fake faces, tough for someone who is honest and open hearted and wears their feelings on their sleeve.
Likely they judge you just as much or more harshly-- for your perfection, for your arrogance, for your put-togetheredness.
I should have said 'your PERCEIVED arrogance', by the way.
I do not think you are arrogant, but that you are concerned and want things to be better for these people and wish you could help them see the 'light'.
PS Great Question, again.
LW can also think "lucky and smart me!", everytime she confronts another dumb numbskull.
She can comfort herself with the thought that she will be sitting pretty, retiring early probably in a nice place, while these dunderheads will be stewing in their juices wondering where they went wrong, or worse yet, where others PUT them wrong.
There IS justice in living a decent life.
Help us out, LW. Ask questions. Don't just sit there in your glass castle. Some of us are dying for someone to know what's going on.
Yeah, that'll work. Then she will be the perceived 'know-it-all' who can't but rub it in.
One thing I finally learned, people do not WANT to be helped and they will DESPISE you for trying to help them.
with 90% of relationships out there, if the woman is not afraid of the man, she disrespects him, abuses him, ignores him, and eventually leaves him.
I am not advocating beating of anyone. I am advocating a reappraisal of the power dynamic in marriage today.
Today most marriages consist of the guy obeying the wife and cowering to her, but pretending he is not cowering. She ends up despising him. If he is instead a bully to her, she hates him.
Without some fear element to blance the overwhelming power women have in the household, there is no lever for maintaining some sort of long term relations. But this, I am guessing, is what most women want, numerous short term marriages.
rob a bank, shoot a dog, or drive dad's vehicle off a cliff = wear a tank top.
I was exaggerating to make a point, but I have a question.
Have you ever been a man?
If so you would understand that skimpy clothes on women are not just skimpy clothes on women. Men have to limit and control themselves around good looking but nearly naked women.
Women do not react the same way around scantily clad men. And if they do, we understand the women are hooting to show off, to impress their friends, but not because they cannot help themselves and are ready to jump the men with ardor.
Women like to be considered sex objects, when it helps them, but women refuse to be responsible for the other implications of their dress.
I can't help that.
will tell you men become physically weaker when they take female hormones.
not woman haters.
I love women, as difficult as it is for your feminism marinated mind to contemplate.
running Washington means is that they will USE America for their purposes, but to prove their power over us, they will do it in such a way as to keep rubbing the citizens of this country in the excrement while doing so.
When will Americans wake up and demand a change in Washington?
everybody is so asleep, they do not see the obvious. That, or they do not WANT TO.
