S'ok, I'll just sit on the park bench and have a smoke while you do your running. Contrary to popular belief, it's a very healthy spectator sport too, get's your heart rate up.
Nah, that sort of thing doesn't bother me, it's the political part, the selling of an ideal. Discussing it over dinner is one thing, being told what to believe is another. I don't even mind if you pull my chair out for me and buy said dinner, it's all good. Just don't expect me to put out because of it.
Likely not, but there was one time at a pub years ago, a woman was arguing with a friend of mine when I got back from the washroom. I asked what was going on, and she turned, said a few things, and tole me she was a feminist. I looked at her, smiled, and said "awww, how cute", and went back to my beer.
Needless to say, we didn't become best friends, but I took that in the same way I would if someone came up to me and said they were a born again Xtian, before they even introduced themselves. If that's priority number one before your sense of decency or humanity, then I probably don't want to continue the conversation.
Which one, we have a few of those. . Do you think the site Psycholigist will show up to analise all the men answering the question, and point out all their faults?
I do find it ironic, despite the best efforts of the Americans to rule the world, we'll all end up speaking Russian, not German, due the these efforts.
If the Yanks would mind their OWN business, rather than meddling in that of sovereign states across the globe, maybe there would be a chance of world peace. Stay out of South America, stay out of Africa, stay out of Asia, maybe, just maybe, rather than backing their corporations with military might, other countries might not see them as the Great Satan of the planet.
Although, it might be too late, maybe Greece and other countries that have been shoved to the edge of a cliff (not pushed up against the wall), should also default on their payments to the predatory IMF, World Bank, and tell Brussels to get stuffed.
The question in the headline to the thread is rather misleading, seeing as the "article" has more to do with personal achievement and the way one sees themselves than it does to being an ideal husband/partner.
Whatever, I'm fine with myself, and don't need to be perfect, and certainly don't want to be "husband material", from what some see that as being.
I don't agree either, threads evolve as people make posts, and aspects that some may never have thought of are introduced, making for a more rounded discussion. If one wants to center their attention to one minute detail, thus restricting the flow of conversation, perhaps they should stick to research papers.
Even worse when it's some esoteric ideal that bears no resemblance to anything found in the real world, let alone being applicable, it should be treated as such. They say "shoot for the moon", but when you're trying to pin point a hit on a yet to be discovered planet in another galaxy, maybe the slingshot should be taken away.
As for PC, I'm not, although I can understand why some people might be offended by certain terminology. The thing is, a lot of people are looking for reasons to be offended, and will twist whatever you say in their own minds in order to justify their anger. I don't see you doing anything wrong in that instance, it seems that it's her issue.
Cool story, I appreciate people sharing things like that. I remember getting an Alberta 75 coin at the legislature here in Edmonton when I was a kid, can't remember who handed it to us though, likely some beaurocrat.
Just having a nice little fire in the back yard here at my Dad's, the hounds are playing nicely. I was thinking of going to see the fireworks, but I've had a couple beers, and I don't feel like riding my bike for 40k, so the fire will have to do.
No, but he was decent about it, and did say "if he was single, and if I was gay", he'd be all over me. I realise when I first met him, he was a little tipsy, but I found it rather flattering and funny.
I guess it is, and at least he actually meant it too.
Funny thing, it turns out he lives right next door to the job I'm doing at the moment. I had a drink with him at his place yesterday, along with my brother and a couple other people. Haven't met his hubby yet, but he has to have a good sense of humour to put up with his antics.
I'll try ressurecting this thread again, but it is tiring when so few people post. Maybe someone should hijack it and turn it into something different.
This is life, we should all be here to lift each other up, rather than trying to stomp another down. i know Uno was annoying at times, but I liked him, and wish he was still around. Same for a number of other "colourful" posters, excluding the hateful ones, there;s no place for that on here.
I've written a number of people with the hope that they would join in to the forums, yet none have. I keep wondering why that is, and I have no answer for it. Dunno, I've met some great people through this, and I'd hate for it to disappear as an option on the site. People I might not have ever met other than from their being on the forums, people like you and I.
So true, and I've been negligent in my own thread that I started on here a while back. I just don't know what to say some days, seeing as the election isn't for a few months yet. I realise that no matter what is said, it'll be days, weeks, or even months in between replies, so I guess I should take better care of something I started.
Nice to see you continually replying, as well as Witty and others stopping in on occasion.
Petey had some parts removed last week, so he's been staying in my room with me, which also keeps him away from Maddy, and the new arrivals now. It's tough living with a strong willed dog with a cone on his head, a bit like a bull in a china shop.
RE: How feminism affects in men???
I'm just me, and I like some people, usually.Never heard that before, but I don't intend on ever getting married, so I shouldn't have to worry about any court battles.
