Who wants a piece of this???
As some of you may have noticed, I've been discretely playing a random game here and there in the last bit. Having seen my last one end because a dumb ass resigned, I thought it was time for fiercer competition. Any takers?

Clicking "+1" just takes you to the top of the page.
I tried to click the +1 icon on a posting I liked, but it just jumps you to the top of the page. Presumably this is something to do with the earlier WebDip outage.

so why are women evil?
ok so some girl i know banged her bf's friend. i have long since given up on my dream that women are naturally monogamous. in my years of experience i have discovered that they are naturally skanks. but there are some things i noticed that seemed to go beyond the call of duty...

Technically single people commit adultery when they sleep with married ones and, in fact, some states allow lawsuits against the mistress/mister? for breaking up the home. And biblically speaking, though shall not covet covers the single man or woman who messes aroind with a married person.
0/10 stupid thread. OP is just butthurt because he was flirting with the woman in question (see other thread), turned out to be right about her being willing to cheat - because she cheated with someone else, not him.

It is good that the original poster has realized that women are lower than dogs. This is the belief that real men hold. Trolling or not, he is correct.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

I agree with krellin, actually. It takes two to cheat, unless the guy didn't know, but you said it was the bf's friend.

Thus, they are both assholes, and it is a bit sexist to just point out the assholery of the woman in this situation, because men are assholes too.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
19 Oct 12 UTC
but surely Draug, Krellin, Thucy, "friendship" aside, you'd have to place a lot more of the betrayal at the foot of the person who's in the relationship. That's regardless of whether they are M/F, of course.

Humans are not evil. Humans are not 'naturally' monagamous, for the most part - you're got both kinds of vole, monogamous and slutty, and they contain just one different type of receptor in the brain (receptor for vasopressin i think) that literally determines their behaviour.

Humans have more than two types of vasopressin receptor in their brains. More than two types of behaviour when it comes to commitment/sexual fidelity.

Humans are also not 'naturally' vegetarian/vegan. They can however override/suppress their 'natural' behaviour - though this is also 'natural' - they can choose to be moral and not eat meat or cheat. Usually because of social pressure to conform.

That doesn't mean some people aren't prone to cheating or being monogamous - infact some are great at self-control and others terrible.

Stop the misogyny. Hating women for having sexuality is probably an expression of fear. You are too much of a coward to handle a powerful sexual woman. Probably you should die alone, without harming/exploiting those weak vulnerable women which you can handle.

Goid luck with that.

The mods won't ban for posting controversial speech on the forums and Putin's declaration of hate speech would not be upheld by SCOTUS or any other court, so I doubt Kestas and the Mods would see it that way either.
Draugnar (0 DX)

Not saying I don't agree that the OP obviously is a woman hater, but this is a free (as in free speech) forum.
Al Swearengen (0 DX)
20 Oct 12 UTC
Yeah. It's funny how certain political opinions are considered so threatening that if you even hint at them, you immediately foment a witch-hunt against you.

In my opinion, it's because the whole feminist ideology is so fragile that it can't stand up to reasonable scrutiny. Men are superior to women in most ways that count, and women should welcome a status as second class citizens. Only feminized men can hold opinions to the contrary.
Fortress Door (1837 D)

Let's see... is that a troll or stupid Al?
Putin33 (111 D)
20 Oct 12 UTC
Al does manly things like hate women from the safety of an anonymous computer screen on a geeky gaming forum that is almost exclusively male. Takes real machismo to do that. I bet you he has manly non-calloused hands too.
Women are evil because they want nothing more than penises in their vag, spawning babbies, and cleaning kitchens.

Had a chance to explain American politics today
It was an interesting opportunity. It started with my coworker asking about the electoral college and evolved into a general question of how American politics works. Her reaction was mixed. I know we log on here every day and gripe about how our politics suck, but after my holistic explanation, I feel almost grateful we have politics to gripe about. Our problems really aren't that bad. (Unless Romney/ Ryan wins, jk! not really.)

Game
In commemoration of a string of high-profile bans lately, I've created a game to celebrate. I am looking forward to decreasing the number of games "infected" by a multi from 45% to about 10%, which is what mine is. If you want the password, message me. Don't play if you're a multi because the mods will be keeping close tabs on all of us I'm sure.
