Lazamataz should be in on this thread
Let’s just say I’ve “been there, done that”... and picked up a bit of judgement along the way.
You know the saying:
Good judgement comes from experience.
And experience comes from bad judgement.
Of course, wise people learn that fire burns without having to stick their hand in the flame...
Reminds me of that wonderful line from a poem of Rudyard Kipling:
“And the Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the fire.”
PS - Feminism is a great evil.
Isn't it a little late for that? Radical social transformations like gay marriage are on the verge of universal acceptance because of what has already been taught to the younger generation over the last 15 or so years, not because of anything Obama will do.
My son’s been telling me I should watch that movie. My attention span is so limited that it’s hard for me to watch a whole movie all at once. That’s why I read books. I can put it aside and come back to it. Before long, it may be necessary to fight to get the USA back to being something to love. What the morons just put into the White House is the culmination of 40+ years cultural erosion which is now liable to go into hyper-drive.
Running out of arguments, so you go looking for support by CC’ng others in the thread. You’ll get none, they don’t have any meaningful counters either.
Thank you, so very much. And I hope the same for you and yours when you join them.
Enjoy your time at home and your well deserved break!
I can say nothing to top that.
God has blessed me with a friend like you.
You are absolutely correct. But then you blow it:
society gives precious little respect to men; is it any wonder that males aren’t “wanting” to me men?
Only those who fall hook line and sinker of the BS that is promulgated by those who wish to ignore the reality of real men fall into that category.
Unfortunately those types do not frequent FR. Unfortunately FR does attract its share of misogynists who are loudly applauded by some. Thankfully, the majority of the FR men are real men who actually appreciate real women.
“Unfortunately FR does attract its share of misogynists”
I have only lurked on this thread. And found some of the posts completely amazing.
IMHO, lack of respect of one human being to another, be it man to woman, woman to man, man to man, woman to woman, human to animal...is a sign of our times.
The turn to liberalism is exhibited as much by men as it is by women.
Apparently you do not, as all of your comments have pretty much stated there is no such thing.
No one has been able to counter my primary arguments, that the overwhelming societal shift in the direction of favoring the woman’s position/mindset over the past 40 years has led to disastrous results for this country.
That is your personal opinion. I have seen plenty of counters to your "primary arguments" which are also your personal opinions.
There is a great deal of truth in what you have to say, however, you have an extremely poor way of stating it.
The vast majority of women I know, both on and off FR and also in real life, do understand what you are attempting to say (and very poorly at that), it is your attitude that causes the problem.
In my life I have been told to "shut up" on more than one occasion, probably by better men than you (although I think any "man" who tells anyone to "shut up" is an idiot,)but interestingly enough I have always prevailed against those that I now call buffoons.
He may now be the VP-elect, but Joe Biden once made the mistake of actually telling me to "shut up." That you are espousing his way of dealing with women, let alone Conservative women, tells me much more than I wish to know about you.
Take your own advice --- SHUT UP
No, it has left all Conservatives with the sense of abandoning the government as a source of anything but servitude, theft, repression, and violation of the finest components of the human spirit. The impression is exceptionally clear and accurate.
Respect doesn’t mean bowing and scraping and dancing the minuette, it means basically doing unto others as we would have them do unto us.
IOW, the foundation of real human life. As differing from animal life.
First you state:
Problem is, we have been ‘listening’ to the non-sensible women for decades, they have ruled the day politically and socially with their overwhelming support of the left-leaning candidates and policies.
And then follow that sentence with this:
So frankly, it’s time for women to stop for a minute and recognize what’s happened in this country, and why it has happened, and then maybe listen to men again.
You sound like a 10 year old. There has to be someone else to blame. IOW you are a BULLY.
I have experience with 10yos and 10yo bullies -- my daughter is 10 and I am teaching her how to deal with the bullies.
Bullies like you are far easier to deal with.
No, you haven't. Don't over estimate your self.
All you've demonstrated is more about your character than you'd ever care to admit.
I was trying to be nice, but you definitely hit the nail right on the head here -- and did it VERY nicely.
Some people don’t understand nice, sad to say.
I'm not sure where the societal change began. During WWII when when women became a large population of the work force?
Or when “no fault” divorce became law. And families were left behind to pursue some greater “good”?
I don't know that there is fault. Times changed.
There are lots of smart, responsible people of both genders in this world. There is no reason for disrespect.
I’m trying nice.........for the moment. We’ll see what happens.
