"Later on, when we got older, we joined the military.
We signed up for field artillery."
There is nothing more satisfying to a man than knowing the explosives you personally packed and set blew something to kingdom come in a nice rosy mushroom cloud that goes for hundred of feet!

Yes!
It was only natural to join artillery like that.
Loud noise, flashy lights, and things exploding.
I don't know why more people don't go for artillery.

(Second paragraph by Gary) Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. LOL!!!
I remember seeing this before. This is a hoot!

"I assumed 'metrosexuals' were folks who liked shagging in those weird little Nash Metropolitans!"
And later on, Nash became American Motors and begat the Ambassador with fold down seats, I can testify from personal experience that there was plenty of room to study Diplomacy in one of those.

That is the problem with a God less society; they think themselves Gods, in that they can change the nature of men and women. I wonder how many children's lives have already been damaged by such reckless folly.
Such actions do not amuse to me in the least. In case anyone hasn't noticed, there are a lot of problems with children these days; no doubt due in part to those who think themselves Gods. And having failed in their God-like attempt to change the nature of males and females, they now rely on drugging the males.
Thank God I saved my son from becoming one of their Pavlovian experiments and the neurosis that is its inevitably result. Our country has enough poor examples of men.
I imagine our amusement will end one day when we realize the damage that has been done by those who think themselves Gods.
But such pleadings are of no use anyway; our course has already been chosen, its consequences inevitable.

Dissident feminist Camille Paglia is one of the few scholars who values maleness: Masculinity is aggressive, unstable, combustible. It is also the most creative cultural force in history. When I cross
any of Americas great bridges, I thinkmen have done this. Construction is a sublime male poetry.When I read honest women thinkers like Christina Hoff Sommers and Camille Paglia, I get optimistic that the Democrats and their agenda against traditional America and its families will be defeated. Not just slowed down and taken underground, but defeated.

Allow me to point out that in the Native American culture, and many other hunter/gatherer cultures, it was the women who had the job of skinning and preparing carcasses from the hunt. And that has to do with current american culture how?

Social theorist Hannah Arendt is believed to have said that every year civilization is invaded by millions of tiny barbariansthey are called children. I love it! What a great article, little boys do not play house.

They scattered into the desert, quickly became bored, and sought out each others company. Then they threw the pencils and paper into a pile, and used the candles and matches to start a little bonfire. The boys loved it; the sensitivity trainers were horrified. Heehee, reminds me of the time my son set the backyard on fire. Okay that wasn't funny at the time...
I let my son play with his sister's Barbie dolls once. He lined them up on the sidewalk and ran them over with his Tonka dump truck. He was 4 at the time.

Well I don't know the difference between a linebacker and a strong safety.
But I can ride a bronc into the ground and take out a sentry with a knife..
Am I still considered a pansy? :O)

Simple genitics. Boys are the way they are because it is how they learn the skills they need as adults to fulfill thier destany as a real man.
Real men live to seek out liberals and kick thier ass.
