RE: Women and men....young or older than us....

Yup, she has hang ups about it, alright.

RE: Women and men....young or older than us....

I see you have a "hang up" about age.

RE: Women SAS and SEALS

I couldn't respect a woman like that and certainly wouldn't want one in my life.

RE: Which is better the better lifestyle for you?

Why isn't everybody in Wales called Jonah?

RE: Which is better the better lifestyle for you?

I like the countryside. I'm just saying that, even for people who would prefer to live in the country, it is not always practical for them to do so.

RE: Question for Women – Do you prefer Masculine or feminine Men?

Uncle Charlie's Dating Tips #74:

Here's a great way for a man to expose the hypocrisy of feminist women:

Start a conversation with a woman who believes firmly in womens' right to a traditionally "male dominated career". Indeed, ideally in one herself.

Tell her that you firmly believe gender-role stereotypes are outdated.

Watch her enthusiastically agree.

Then ask her if she is willing to work and support you while you stay at home as a house husband.

Watch her squirm and come up with a hundred reasons why you're "not really compatible" and "by the way, I have to get going, sorry".

You see, the reality is that, while most women are OK with women having careers, doing masculine things, etc etc, they do NOT respect men who believe it should cut both ways. It's OK for women to be "masculine" but not for a man to be "feminine". This double standard (humbug, hypocrisy, call it what you will) is at the heart of the problem with Feminism as an ideology.

I'm still leaning towards Kidwell being a sweaty Nigerian guy with his pants around his ankles......

RE: Which is better the better lifestyle for you?

A valid feeling. For this reason, many "escape" to the countryside. But many want to, but are held back from the fact that there are very few jobs in the countryside... etc

I am speaking generally, not of myself.

RE: Women SAS and SEALS

Why not? Because wars are started by men. And what kind of man sends women to fight his battles for him?

RE: Do multi-culture societies work?

Whatever else may be said about Islam, it is indeed a religion.

RE: Which is better the better lifestyle for you?

Sadly, what one wants may not always be what one does.

One may prefer one of the options above, but be stuck in another, for financial reasons, or family reasons, etc.

RE: Women and men....young or older than us....

Nothing wrong with it. The best girlfriend I ever had, was old enough to be my mother. But if I marry again, it will be to someone much younger, as I wish to have a family.

RE: Besides the USA, what countries are provide humanitarian aid to the crisis in Venezuela

No, it is not that Venezuelans "reproduce too fast". It is that Belgians reproduce too slowly.

RE: Women SAS and SEALS

I am firmly of the belief supported by all Western societies for millennia: Women have no place at all in the armed forces.

RE: Eurovision 2019

No, a bloke with a beard, dressed as a woman.

RE: Songs from the past that have meaning for today ...

Coming from a household in which the record collection consisted of Beethoven, Bach,and Mahler, "We're Not Gonna Take It" was the first rock song I ever heard. I still have a sentimental attachment to it.

As an aside, it is perhaps worth mentioning at this point, that Donald Trump wanted to use it as a campaign anthem. He rang Dee Snider, the singer and writer of the song, to ask permission. Snider told Trump he'd rather he didn't use it. But Snider is on record (no pun intended) as saying that he admires Trump for having the decency to call him and ask. "Most politicians would just use it and not bother asking". You can see the interview with Snider about this, on You Tube.

RE: I don't like or respect Donald Trump because....

Indeed - we must remember civility can only be restored once Hillary Clinton and he friends are in power. She has told us so herself.

RE: No one commenting on Mr Putin's remarks in his annual address ...

You are still wrong.

The communists killed and persecuted Christians, yes.

But Vladimir Putin is not a communist. He is a Christian.

I hope that is simple enough even for you to understand?

RE: Women and men....young or older than us....

There are many reasons people prefer a person of a certain age.

The assumption that all men who want younger women are desperately insecure is a generalization that may be accuarte in some cases, but not all. Just like the assumption that women dating older men are all gold-diggers, is not always accurate.

RE: why not airlift food to venezuela.....?......

A valid point, and I grant you that, but you seem to miss mine, which was that the OP was quite wrong in saying that aid was provided to East Germany. It was instead provided to WEST Berlin, which, even then, was under the control of the Allied Powers, i.e. part of what would become West Germany (the Federal Republic).

RE: How it's like to have a foreigner partner???

Haha, a cute post.

Although I am certainly open to meeting someone of my own (Anglo-Saxon) culture, there are various reasons I think it unlikely I will do so. Probably the biggest one is that I would like to have a family (as would we all) but Anglo-Saxon women tend to have a hang-up about dating anyone more than 2 or 3 years older than they are, which makes the possibility of finding someone young enough to have kids, almost impossible.

RE: till I see you again, means...

"I'm off to bed now" means, it is night time where I am, and I am about to go to my bedroom and sleep.

"Goodbye" means (in English), I am leaving now, and wishing you well. (It is rude to end a conversation without saying goodbye).

My point was that, in Spanish, goodbye translates to adios, which will imply a "forever" goodbye, whereas what we really mean is more akin to "chao".

RE: why not airlift food to venezuela.....?......

No they didn't. They did it to West Berlin, part of the Federal Republic.

RE: Would You Rather Have A Shelter Dog Or Pedigree

You don't have the link?

RE: how do you foreigners see The Netherlands?

So you are keen to get the low down on the Netherlands, then?

RE: till I see you again, means...

English is unusual in that "goodbye" can mean either "see you again soon" or "you will never hear from me again".

In most languages, there are different terms, one for someone you expect to see again, and one for someone you don't. Saying to a chatmate in Latin America, for example "I'm off to be now, goodbye" will be seen as a sign that you are not interested in communicating ever again, not that you will message them again in the morning.

RE: Friends - Are they all positive influences?

Human Nature dictates that we will often be as attracted to negative influences as to positive ones. We need to be always vigilant.

RE: Big Mouth Looses Jobs for New York

(That's Nixon proclaiming victory, not some hippie doing a peace sign).

RE: Would You Rather Have A Shelter Dog Or Pedigree

Wow that sounds really sweet.

RE: Socialism ?

I like both these guys, very much.
