We get a lot of drive-by introductions, thought maybe this was one of those.

Ok, you are a plumber. The public pipes are backed up with shite and we need someone with a spiky head to get in there.

Welcome.

But that thread title. Women are not getting stronger. Their army of mommy's little helpers is. Friggin' judges and cops and zoshial verkers unt counzelors; the Turkey Army of bureaucrats and Assistant Chief Advisors and Congressmen. Men. Harpies up the friggin' Ying Yang; Academics who have read a book from Mittle Europe and think Black is not only better than white but whiter than white.

Pick a target and hit the laughter button.

I am just trying to vent my wasted time as a sociology major and this seems a good way to use gender studies against the fems. whether it be serious, funny, or entertaining.

Technically, the stronger women get via methods of guilt media exposure of guilt and the fact humans (males) dislike being thought of in the wrong context has socially lifted or given women certain rights and since any jackass can burn down a barn, they think they have accomplished something by their own merits. Male guilt especially anglo guilt is the most powerful concession in America if not the world. When people start thinking women are getting stronger, the public persona does the same thing. We are behind enemy lines my friend. The only thing we can do is push for girls gone wild stereotypes and distract the feminists with how they are being perceived.

"end scene"

Well, if you've gone through social science training then you may have some de-programming to do

I used to believe that psychology and sociology were sources of useful explanations for human behaviour - I've lost most of my faith in them, and am drawn now more to philosophy and religion for meaningful discussions of human nature

or or or... if you use conservative means as the ey glass for sociology, it all starts to make sense! The libs at my school would sit in the class room and drink their whatever was trendy coffee flavor of the week and talk about how taking other poeples money and invest it in run down nieghborhoods would change everything. these people have never been out of their own state. thats like saying amway would work if everyone did it... then you say no, that would be the same thing as every american donating a dollar to every othr american. it sounds like a great idea until you think logisitcally about it...

this was my agony every day at NCSU.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in "hard" science like physics, biology etc - but the soft sciences seem more speculative than definitive imo

heh, trendy coffee - I work in an office, we have a Starbucks in the lobby, should we talk about how much women love to be spoiled and pampered?

I too have felt this way. But then I started to see more.

I kept hearing the same language, spoken in the same context and the same words. I guess for me it is a little different because I don't have the intelligence others have nor the education.

I have to look further and further behind to see the core.

Throwing money at groups has been going on for decades. Reading TIME magazine yesterday showed a horrible picture of Aborigines sitting on the dirt with a box of beer surrounded by thousands of empty cans that had been drunk previously. The writing explained the scene as violent and I have seen it myself. This was the Maori story too. Decades ago their chiefs banned all Maori from drinking alcohol which the law upheld making Maori barred from anywhere you could get alcohol.

But like an entrepenuer without a conscince for anyone but themselves, a few Europeoans saw the opportunity for a black market and nothing change. The violence and family destruction stayed. It was the same for the Indians in America also.

We have to learn from these experiments. And we have. Now you don't get money unless you can show an action plan and it's use.

I know it freaks people out when feminists say, "The patriarchy ruled for thousands of years before they got it right and getting it right was oppressing women".

That is hard to take especially when you can see the end result of all that experimenting over thousands of years and yes, they got it down to a "T" for procreation. Plus life was safer. Not what we have today.

But we are past having to worry about the human races non-existence.

If we could only get away from the divide and come together. But not coming together to chat for that does nothing but coming together as groups with action plans and groups who are able to attract others who will volunteer their time also, we will make things better than what they are today.

I can say that the Aborigines have hope. Hope is something that will show beauty in time. They are acting and yes it costs money. But mankind has already learnt that throwing money at them did nothing.

I think a successful hard working business person could have taught the intellects the right way to do it from the beginning.

You appreciate what you worked hard for a lot more than you appreciate what comes easy.

Julie I agree that people need to come together, this is what gets things accomplished. But there will always be some who are liars and thieves and troublemakers, that's life.

Thanx BT, I hope you don't mind my going on a bit today. Ahemmm...

Why are we allowing the liars and thieves and troublemakers get the better of us? Do we not have something better?

When I was out there and the council was closely watching, one of the members who is a fantastic man and very clever and wise and very kind and blah, blah, blah, asked me this when I put pressure on him to act, "What do you want us to do Julie? We have nothing better".

Listening is challenging. Sometimes you don't even hear something until many months from when it was said. Sometimes you have to learn other things until the penny drops as to what you heard.

They ask for an answer. The judges ask for an answer. The politicians ask for an answer.

But the answer is not words. The answer is action.

We bitch and moan and feel sorry for ourselves. What happened to us?

trendy coffee flavors. god. i would like the moco foco double mixo with quadruple caffoo which will make me sicko. yeah. i love those guys.


they love to be spoiled and pampered if you do not ask them if they would like to be. they never know the answer. "I'm hungry lets get something to eat" Guy," ok where do u want to go?" Girl, "I don't care, I'm just hungry". Guy, "Ok, how about Chilis"? Girl, "No". Guy,"ok, what about Crackle Barrel?" Girl, "No". Guy, "Ok, how about Ruth Cris"? Girl,"No" Guy, "Ok, how about Olive Garden"? Girl, "No". Guy, "well what do u want to eat then?" Girl, "I don't know"

this is my life...

pampered.
