What do people think about,................
People being gay or Lesbian, me personally I see nothing wrong with it, after all we dont live in the dark ages anymore and theres nothing more beautiful than seeing two people in love regardless which gender you are, live and let live,.......................
Love And Hate
I was always under the impression that love and hate was the same emotion; just opposite ends of the scale but I was wrong.
I have learned that people can both love and hate somebody with the same intensity. This is more often so with women (no intention here of bashing women), while men rather tend to dislike.
Hate is a dangerous emotion and it consumes more energy than anything else. It will eat you up from the inside and spit you out as an empty shell when it has burned out, leaving you bitter and lonely. You can never be happy as long as you carry hate in your heart; it is all consuming.
When you love and hate the same person, nothing – not even the death of that person – can satisfy the urge for revenge. Death will only rob you of the object of your hate and leave you empty. Therefore you would help such a person if possible if his life was in danger.
When a man dislikes somebody intensely enough he will enter a stage of feeling nothing for that person. No love, no hate, no dislike, just nothing. The person would not exist in his life and he could not be bothered if the person was alive or not. A far more dangerous emotion or rather lack of emotion. He would literally feel nothing for the person.
If you walk around with hate in your heart, get rid of it; before it consumes you. It will imprison your heart and ransom your soul.
Enjoy this happy day.

You wouldn't do it to a dog!
Nobody in there right mind would starve a dog or cat to death by cutting off it's food supply, but now by law it's fine to do it to a human being 
"LEGAL permission will no longer be required to end life-prolonging care for patients in a permanent vegetative state, the UK Supreme Court has ruled today"
"The ruling will effect up to 24,000 patients with permanent vegetative state (PVS) and minimally conscious state (MCS), meaning they can now be effectively starved and dehydrated to death if the medical staff and relatives agree that this is in their “best interests"
Is it just me or is this just wrong on so many levels

The F-word
It seemed to have become the de facto standard in the vocabulary of a lot of people to use the F-word. One cannot walk in a public place with your parents, partner or children anymore without hearing the word being used in every other sentence; in all its forms and declensions.
The strange thing, while our movies are filled with it, there is hardly any of it in our newspapers. People, who don’t think twice about watching a movie liberally sprinkled with the F-word, wouldn’t buy a newspaper using the same language. Why?
I think it is because movies are shown in the dark! Movie producers say they only reflect on society, but I think they are the leaders, not the mirrors.

We Are Surrendering Without A War
Modern men are just lame, too passive and not standing for their rights; forever trying to be politically correct. This is mainly because they have been deprived of their pride – the privilege to care for their families.
It appears to be more advantageous to be gay. Somehow, it is perfectly acceptable to say you want to be a woman, but when you try to be a man, everybody jumps on the bandwagon. Women are not satisfied with equality. They want to dominate, and in the process, they are causing men to feel uncomfortable about being men. Men no longer care about being a ‘real man’. All they strive for is to be politically correct.
Men are avoiding long-term commitments altogether; buying a house is no longer considered to be a good investment, and no longer do they see a proper education as important. We are rapidly losing the basic building block of our civilization – the family, and children are raised without discipline or routine.
Well-off men refuse to get married because it is a one-sided venture that entitles women to half of their possessions and future earnings via a divorce settlement, even if they cheated. In the US the paternity fraud rate is as high as 30% in some states; think about it, three out of every ten children are raised and supported by unsuspecting men, fraudulently convinced that they are caring for their own offspring(*). With the average cost of raising a child to the age of 18, now standing at 245,000 US$, we are talking about a major crime.
Neither men nor women need to dominate. We are about equal in numbers. It is only in the higher age brackets that women have superior numbers. That is only because men die earlier… after working all their lives to provide their families with a comfortable old age. The mere fact that 80% of all residents in retirement centers are women enjoying a comfortable old age – thanks to the efforts of a late husband, can testify to that.
Modern men no longer see provision as paramount and sometimes, when you see the fruit of a lifetime’s labor being squandered on a toy boy, it can easily be understood. Men are rejecting the idea of being a ‘real man’, because there’s no logical reason to be one. They are trying to avoid a situation that places them at a disadvantage.
The countries in the West with their sophisticated constitutions and so-called human rights bills are getting weak, and in the end, we will be over-run by the countries where men are still allowed to be men. There will be nobody to defend against them because our men will no longer be men.
It happened in Rome and history will still repeat itself. And it may just happen that the dis-empowered men of the West, having nothing to defend, will see the invaders as liberators. We are digging our own graves.
Have a nice day and don’t slaughter me! It is only opinion.

You Can Never Be Free
Many people do not know what to do with their freedom. As such they are prisoners of their own freedom. Freedom, when you are not prepared for it, is a burden and a curse. What good is it for a caged parrot to gain his freedom only to die of starvation and exposure?
Freedom is not doing what you want to do. That is called anarchy; and when we all do what we want to do, it causes chaos. Then freedom is just another word for having nothing left to lose.
We are all prisoners of our possessions. When you possess something, you have to take certain measures to protect that possession; be that material, love, status or anything else. The more precious the possession is to you, the more you are bound to it. You can only be truly free when you have nothing to tie you down to a certain place or routine.
Some would say that freedom is doing the right thing but what is the right thing? What is right for you can never be right for everybody else. Are you really free when you are bound to certain options? Is that really free choice?
If freedom looked like that, I’d rather be comfortably enslaved for only death can bring true freedom. And that is only if there is no afterlife because even then you will not have the choice of where you want to go. You will be bound by your limited choices here on earth.
Have a monster Friday.

Some guy called Obama
I looked wistfully back at March 2016 and guess what, there were 3 - only THREE - political blogs on this international singles website. One about Japan, the other 2 by a nutter were demanding changes in the US. That blogger's profile is shown as deleted, but the anger and wild wording is remarkably similar to a 'new' blogger currently showering us with violent opinions and multiple exclamation marks. 
We've heard more (often foam-flecked) about this guy Obama since the other guy took over than in all the years of his administration. why do the new lot feel so irrationally threatened? Actually, don't tell me.I'll go read a blog if I ever get interested enough to care. Certainly plenty to choose from. Three years ago, 3 political blogs on TWO screens. Just on our first screen on an
international
singles
website
there are 16 political blogs about the USA. Overkill.
More to the point, though, spotted a few names back then who are MIA, does anyone have good news about Dedovix, Catfoot, Vikingson, Jarred, Abby, GoldenGloss, Ccincy, Unlaoised, Pedal, Ed1941? I know Chrome is getting married,
Mapmaker I wish would come back occasionally even if he is violently allergic to US politics, and oh we miss you Pat8lanips. If it is just the political thing keeping you lot away, we can raise a petition or something.
(There were others who I do know have reappeared under new profiles since 2016 eg Dreamcatcher
)

)Yet another gender blog
I, as well of all of you, have noticed the amount of blogs of late about gender differences/gender-blaming, gender-bashing and even some gender-loving.
No, I lie, there is no blog about gender-loving.
Now, it is easy to dismiss the more stringent threads which appear to be anti the other sex, these may look like the work of bitter and twisted individuals of both genders.
However, even if the language used is not conducive to most moderates joining in, the simple existence of blogs about these subjects shows that there is a concern out there from at least the minority of men about women (that is what I am going to focus on for this blog)
The main topics…feminism and menopause.
Yes both exist. We are all in agreement about that.
However, the definitions and experience of people regarding these topics seems to vary considerably, from non-existent to off the wall.
Yes, extremes of everything exists. Extremism exists in religion; politics; cleanliness; animal rights; cultures and yes, feminism and menopause.
But should anything be defined by its extreme elements? Most extremists frighten even the moderates of any belief. Moderate Muslims are in as much danger from ISIS as Christians, possibly more, and moderate feminists are probably hated more by extremists than men are.
As seen on Crazy’s blog, menopause isn’t the end of the world for most women. Indeed many see it as a new beginning. And it passes by others without as much as a wave. An extreme menopause is going to affect the woman terribly, and to a lesser extent the man in her life, but extremes are in the minority.
Most people who believe in equality of the sexes are not man-haters, they just believe in equality.
Personally, I believe that in many aspects of life in the West, women do have equality, but it has still to be fought for in other cultures.
And men’s rights also need to be fought for in terms of access/custody of their children; single father’s rights, etc. That is what equality is about, it has to be equal for all.
We are all in this together, we have to either work together for the greater good, or be divided and conquered
All thoughts welcome.

What To Treat The Ladies On.
When I was young my dad told me never try to impress a woman on a first date. He said if she really liked you, she would be happy walk to with you to a take-way stand and eat whatever you gave her.
In view of the international nature of CD I thought I would compile a guide on what to treat your long distance lover when you finally get to meet her.
An English Miss –
Fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.
A French Mademoiselle –
Take her for a walk on a rainy day, she will get the snails, take you to her maisonette, prepare them, cook them and by the time they are ready, you will be already full up with the hors-d´oeuvres. (Minerva)
A German Fräulein –
A doner kebab - whatever that is. I hope it is cheaper than sauerkraut. (KNenagh)
An Australian Sheila –
A Vegemite Sandwich .
An African Maiden –
Pap and Wors (thick maize porridge and sausage). Pap is optional!
An US Chick –
Hotdogs from a pavement stand.
An Irish Lassie -
A small helping of Black Pudding. (Hans4711)
An Afrikaans Madam –
A Boerewors (sausage) roll. The roll is optional!
An Indonesian Bird –
Raw oysters. Just take her to the sea. She will take them out for you too.
A Barbadian Queen –
Hot Bajan Fish Cakes.
A China Doll –
A generous helping of rice served on a bed of rice.
A Japanese Lady –
Sashimi - Raw fish. Just take her to the fresh fish market.
An Italian Signorina –
Chinese quick noodles. She will love the superior quality.
A Portuguese Senorita –
Dried fish. No need to take her anywhere, she will have a good supply.
A Canadian Miss -
Clubbed baby seals. Plenty of frozen carcasses abandoned in the ice fields.
A Spanish Señorita -
Take her to the nearest Tapa Bar and buy the cheapest drink. (Zman)
A Ugandan Beauty in Nigerian refugee camp -
An UN ration pack bought on the black market.
But now I’m stuck. Maybe with some suggestions we can complete this manual for overseas dating.
