Hehe.

“And I’ve never really understood people who criticize the Christian G-d’s view of how the male-female marriage dynamic should work as patriarchal/oppressive, and at the same time criticize men as childish or immature who avoid forming a marriage covenant with that same G-d.”

See, in this statement you make the mistake of conflating *feminists* with *readers of Dear Abby* or whatever hackneyed advice column / cliched media representation of women you got that from.

Courtney Love and Paris Hilton

I guess I could apologize for expressing a simple preference or being less than PC

your many cats

American women (with the exception of Jack.Goff)

The only places that ties might be España.

Too much focus on group identity instead of people as individuals, 99% have some negativity or chip on their shoulder towards the opposite sex, the victim mentality, and waaaaaay too much complaining.

marriage isn’t exactly on my bucket list.

This is truly a solemn occasion, a time for quiet attention and deep thought. Congratulations, sir, for you have at last become your own parody.

I think it’s time and past for a banning, here.

Oh dear. No, I’m still talking because I can, not because I care. ;)

Heh, I mentioned it one time, and the thread just decided to keep riffing off the one comment – so if anything you should tell your ‘unbalanced’ compatriots to drop the subject.

No, ’cause, see, I can forgive others’ fascination with it, and their urge to “riff off” it, because the opinion that nice girls don’t fart —

I said classy – not nice.
I’m sure Courtney Love and Paris Hilton are pretty nice people.

well, it’s a bit hard to pin down, to be honest, but as a start I’d say that it’s really more the kind of thing you shouldn’t ever “mention” at all, and then if by some cosmic accident you do mention it by mistake, you’re better off immediately disowning it and never bringing it up again, rather than defending and elaborating on it, as if there had been anything legitimate to it in the first place, let alone anything worth going to that sort of trouble for… so, all things considered, I too felt the need to sort of poke it with a stick and see what happened.

I guess I could apologize for expressing a simple preference or being less than PC, but there’s plenty of things I’d rather do first, like y’know nailing my penis to a burning building.

But now I’m bored and would really like to be able to crush it with a brick and then go play inside for a while.

Yes, please go inside and play (with your many cats, presumably) and don’t come back.

Wow, look, more of the same old MRA flavor trope about non-American women, class, and “i’m NEVER getting married” stuff. Even a bit about how no, really, relationships aren’t really, really equal…

Heh, I think American women (with the exception of Jack.Goff) are the bees knees. The only places that ties might be España. And I dislike the MRAs for the same reason I dislike feminists. Too much focus on group identity instead of people as individuals, 99% have some negativity or chip on their shoulder towards the opposite sex, the victim mentality, and waaaaaay too much complaining.

And the “leading” thing? Psh. Almost…biblical, really.

I’m a Deist. And I’ve never really understood people who criticize the Christian G-d’s view of how the male-female marriage dynamic should work as patriarchal/oppressive, and at the same time criticize men as childish or immature who avoid forming a marriage covenant with that same G-d.

Thirdly, why do you care that I care, considering it has no impact on you whatsoever?

Oh, trust me, I don’t care that you care.

Which is, of course, why you’re still talking.

p.s. can you play “Melancholy Baby?” because, I have to tell you, if not, I can’t -possibly- marry you.

Oh I can, but marriage isn’t exactly on my bucket list. We had a pretty good run though, and at least we’ll always have Paris… *poot*

Well, bout time to fire up the PS3, and run some pigs over.

Oh, trust me, I don’t care that you care. I just wished to point out the pure talent one must possess to be able to type while having one’s cranium so far ensconced in one’s rectal cavity. You are truly a marvel. Though, I will admit that I was questioning why you have such a problem with ass fumes, given your current state.

Fantompowa, you need to get off the farting thing, seriously. It’s just making you look completely unbalanced.

And all women fart, just some have the manners to leave the room first or hold it in.

Question for ya, are men supposed to hold it in or leave the room too, or is that just the ladies?

I do, politeness goes both ways.

I think the majority of men would ceteris paribus take classy over trashy any day of the week.

For one, please, for the love of Chupacabra, don’t presume to speak for all men. For two, a lot of men realize that expecting human beings to not do things that come naturally to human beings for the sake of appearances is being an asshat. Which brings me to three: why would you personally care if a woman farts around you, dude? Your head is so far up your own ass, you wouldn’t be able to smell it anyway.

Firstly, I never did speak for all men everywhere. I said the “I think” and ‘majority’ not “I know” and ‘all’. Not all guys appreciate class, plenty are probably with chicks who don’t tip, pick their noses, or talk about the monster dump they took this morning. Hey man, whatever floats your boat.

Secondly, I agree politeness isn’t natural, neither is showering or reading, but I need women who can do those things too. It may be sublime – but it’s cultivated.

Thirdly, why do you care that I care, considering it has no impact on you whatsoever?

I’m not sure how you got the impression I have any use for marriage or women who aren’t bi, let alone repressing gays. You could try actually reading posts before going into pigeonhole-and-squawk mode.

And all women fart, just some have the manners to leave the room first or hold it in. I’m a lot pickier than most men, but I think the majority of men would ceteris paribus take classy over trashy any day of the week.

Dude. pigeonhole and squawk now, AND farting. Noisy Woman Is Rude Woman. :(

And, no, actually I didn’t accuse you of repressing anyone, and I don’t really give a shit what you do or don’t have any use for;

Well, clearly you do, otherwise you – just like J.Goff – wouldn’t be talking.

I’m just mocking you for being a pompous dickhead. Sorry for the confusion, really.

but, you know, you get on with your “picky” self, I mean, you know, I’m sure you’ve earned it, what with the Latin and shit.

Heh, well I may be an asshole, but at least I’m not a strong independent woman who curiously has a spaz attack when someone uses junior high vocabulary.
