My husband is on a board with a number of highly educated women. He won’t even grab a cup of coffee with them. If you don’t think this is going to effect hiring practices for women you are crazy.

“While the other 95% said silently to themselves. YEP, he’s right.”

IOW, they said, “Me too.”

Looks like Tony has buckled under the pressure

I saw an interview with Robbins on FOX Business where he says Clinton needed help from him & he said he told him he wasn't a fan of his or something like that lol

He is also friends with TRUMP

‘The evil comes with failing to take our troubles to the Lord.’

people have been taking their troubles to a ‘higher power’ for millenia, and yet there always seems to be no end to the amount of troubles in the world...

I am the only one who has ever victimized me and that is a good thing to know. When I get tired of it I don’t have to go far to deal with the troublemaker! lol>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Love you bro! You have become wise and humorous at the same time. Time to start teaching the dharma.

I am a married man, funny as hell...I avoid being alone with women - it is just good sense. A few minutes, we are laughing together and the pheromones fill the air. It’s a cruel trick on the part of God.

Right on.

Eric Hoffer (philosopher) said something like “For some people, an excuse is better than an achievement. Because when you achieve something, people want to know what you’re going to do next. But an excuse is something you can use for the rest of your life.”

I see a lot of people who use victimhood as a lifelong excuse for not taking responsibility for themselves.

I had to look up Eric Hoffer. Deep understanding of things that we probably are seeing even more clearly today. From Wikipedia:

Hoffer argues that fanatical and extremist cultural movements, whether religious, social, or national, arise when large numbers of frustrated people, believing their own individual lives to be worthless or spoiled, join a movement demanding radical change. But the real attraction for this population is an escape from the self, not a realization of individual hopes: "A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation."

Hoffer consequently argues that the appeal of mass movements is interchangeable: in the Germany of the 1920s and the 1930s, for example, the Communists and National Socialists were ostensibly enemies, but sometimes enlisted each other's members, since they competed for the same kind of marginalized, angry, frustrated people. For the "true believer," Hoffer argues that particular beliefs are less important than escaping from the burden of the autonomous self.

Hoffer believed that rapid change is not necessarily a positive thing for a society and that too rapid change can cause a regression in maturity for those who were brought up in a different society. He noted that in America in the 1960s, many young adults were still living in extended adolescence. Seeking to explain the attraction of the New Left protest movements, he characterized them as the result of widespread affluence, which "is robbing a modern society of whatever it has left of puberty rites to routinize the attainment of manhood." He saw the puberty rites as essential for self-esteem and noted that mass movements and juvenile mindsets tend to go together, to the point that anyone, no matter what age, who joins a mass movement immediately begins to exhibit juvenile behavior.

Thanks for the reply.

I wish more people would read your post!

Eric Hoffer is amazing. His book, The True Believer is great.

the woman was better qualified, but she was very attractive and he knew, ‘I can’t have her around because it’s too big of a risk’

The result will be to create a competitive advantage to unattractive women.

It ties in with Rush's observation that "feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."

I’m glad to be introduced to him. Some other quotes I liked:

“Rudeness is the weak person’s imitation of strength.”

“In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”

“The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.”
