The problem is: can it be done without bringing Western Civilization crashing down in the process (or at least, crashing it faster than it already is)
The Islamic influx into Western Europe demonstrates my point: the Muslims may not be doing as well economicly as the Europeans, but their women are having children at well-above-replacement rates, while the liberated European women are not having kids
In the long term, economic affluence is not as relevent as survival is. In that context, traditional Islam may turn out to be the superior ideology by the only criterion that matters: they will be the ones that are left
Men have got to understand that Marriage and Children are a blanket invitation to complete Government regulation of their lives. Nothing a man does after getting married and having children is beyond the scrutiny of some judge somewhere, and it could cost him everything.
Women need to be made to understand that men are soon going to refuse to live under these conditions, if anything is going to change.
Men should just opt out, until women (and courts) understand. It's time for the Single and Vasectomy generation! LOL!
Perfect one-liner for debating Libertines
The threads entire original post:
Next time they try to tell you what kind of Republic the Founders envisioned...
"Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness." --George Washington
"Vanity: Please help prevent the vanity explosion" by Jim Robinson
---------------------------
To be treated as such, they must first acts as such.
2. Look at the source: It was published in "The Federalist" magazine.
3. A "Vanity" is simply a self-authored rant. Gen. George Washington was the author of MY "rant." Got any problems, take them up with him.
Commpassion and Altruism in Government must end, in the same way it must end in men's lives (towards single women) if anything is going to change.
As a single-childless male, I have many friends who have stated that they would give up EVERYTHING, if they could return to a life without a wife and children, where their incomes are their own, and they are free to "associate" with as many women as they please, without risk of some judge confiscating their wealth, just because Princess needed to "find herself".
Man, I could tell you some horror stories that would cause your manhood to shrivel up and die. There is no way in hell that I would EVER consider marriage under current conditions. No sane man would. Unfortunatly, the female body has powers to drive most men temporarily insane.

Who do we get to tell all the Newbies the serial Vanity posts is one of the biggest no-nos on FR?

In fact, I would submit that we now have more pointless Vanity posts showing up each day in "News/Activism" than are posted in "General." Does this not give you pause to consider that some sort of action needs to be taken?

More Vanity Posts with various and sundry detailed discussions of the sniper flap. Of course, there are umpteen sniper threads this could have been posted to, but because you "powers-that-be" have chosen to relax the standards, now everyone thinks what s/he thinks on any particular subject is worthy of its own thread. Just wondering where we're headed, here.

If you want a perfect example of a pointless Vanity that belongs in "General," this is it. I repeat (ad infinitum it seems): The Vanity problem has probably never been this bad since 9/11.

Nice sentiment and all, but aren't there scads of "Paul Wellstone, R.I.P." threads? Why another one, and a vanity at that? I continue to ask: Is this the result of a NEW POLICY on FR, or do the old rules regarding Vanities still apply? If so, are you just overrun with Vanities such that you can't find time to move them (or remove them, as the case might be?) Can't we figure this out? The Vanities are bumping out REAL news, which is why the majority of us, I submit, come to FR; NOT to hear the opinions of various and sundry. If we want that, Yahoo! has plenty of BBSes for the purpose. I simply hate to see FR turning into nothing but a Bulletin Board. In the past, we've taken steps to make sure that doesn't happen. Why not now?

Another mindless, pointless Vanity. What is going on? Is there a new policy that I haven't heard about? Can we not have an Admin thread started to handle this--one that doesn't get moved to "General"?

Lots and lots of threads about the sniper. Why is a separate one about one tiny detail necessary? The Vanity problem is growing out of control.

Yet another example of the senseless Vanities that continue to proliferate. I notice you moved the "Vanity" I had posted decrying the Vanities, to "General." Yet these continue on. What gives? What are the rules? Is there some threshhold of contribution to FR that allows us to post whatever we want, wherever we want? If so, what is the threshhold that allows us to move all Vanities to "General" whenever we want? Let me know the amount; I'll try to work it into my budget.
