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?

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...

I am not sure if I am appalled, entertained, or concerned for the various amounts of woman hating, guys. People in general suck. It doesn't matter what anatomy you were born with. I know plenty of evil guys and evil girls. It's all relative to human nature in general. Making assumptions based on the actions of a few is unfair to those of the female persuasion that aren't completely horrible.

I'm sorry the forum has become so hostile in the last week. But I suspect there's less proper misogyny than there appears to be, and more insensitivity -- trolling the troll, so to speak, without regard to the atmosphere it creates. Not that it's excused, but I hope it's some small comfort.

You're just trying to make fun of me personally, since you're unable to disprove my ideas.

Men are better than women at nearly everything. Women are second-class citizens. Intelligent women submit to men, only the stupid ones imagine themselves to be equal.

@Al- I consider women as our equals, does that make me a stupid man? If so, I'd rather be a stupid man who shows women the respect that everyone deserves than an intelligent one who treats them like dirt. And if that makes me stupid, I'd rather die stupid and happy with a good girl than smart and alone because I didn't treat my girl right... Just sayin.
So how's that dying alone plan going for ya, Al?

@butterhead
And you sir are entitled to your opinion. However your point of view presupposes that you have only two options - "respect" women or else be dumped by them, to be left alone.
But even if we suppose this to be the case, I ask you - if your woman would dump you because you spoke the truth, then you are better off. This is part of what makes a man a man - a man will not let someone as foolish as a woman dictate his actions. I can further illustrate this point if you are interested.
Besides which, any man who has money will always have women, no matter how good or how awful his opinions.
You should look at the situation in converse - why would I want the company of women who did not respect my opinions? Hah!

@Al- you do make one good point: No matter how horrible a man is, if he is rich, he will have women. However I am much more content with my 1 woman who we treat each other with respect. there is a difference between women respecting mens opinions, and respecting their authority. women should only respect the authority of men that are A) older family members, B) bosses/superiors in the workplace, or C) government officials/police/etc.
They are not below men, they are not above men. they are truly our equals. If they are expected to respect us, we should be expected to respect them. In marriage, spouses are referred to as "our other half"... not "our other 1/3" or "1/4" or "property" or anything of the such. this is because we are equal. In relationships, they are called our "partners", or "significant others", not our "servants"... it is not their job to be with us, it is their choice, as it should be. woman is not beneath man. and they shouldn't be considered as such. but as you said, you sir are entitled to your opinion. Nothing I say or do will change your opinion, just as nothing you say or do will change mine. but maybe, just maybe, someday you will consider the possibility that you are actually wrong...

My refutation of the Al-Troll:

Average amount (0 to 100 scale) I have enjoyed spending time with women in my life: 70

Average amount (0 to 100 scale) I have enjoyed spending time with Al Swearengen: 02

We have a winner.

And no, Al, it's not just the sex. It's also the "striking me as a cool person" vibe. Can't forget that, that gets at least like 40 D right there.

@damian

Thank you for asking. For starters, let us take an inventory of everything that is important. I will present these in no particular order:

Sports
Business
Warfare
Family
Health
Religion
Art
Science

Next let us see which of the sexes is better at each of these. For religion and family I am discounting these, as I do not think that they are competitive and have no way of determining who is better at them than another. I simply included them for completeness.

Next let's get to health. Can you measure health in a competitive manner? I suppose to be fair, women statistically outlive men by something like three years so let's go ahead and chalk up a point for women.

Now onwards to the rest. Men are better than women at sports, science, business, warfare, art and science than women. What is that, six points?

So the final score is six to one.

Wow. I can't say that women simply lost - they got their butt kicked. Men are better than women at practically everything important. Women are a joke. If there weren't separate male/female categories in the Olympics, women would hardly ever get any medals.

Women are such a joke as to be laughable. I'm going to make a list of things that women could probably beat me at:

ballet
yoga

Note that two items appear on the list. I can beat pretty much every women I know at pretty much everything else. That is funny.

Women are so dumb that they definitely shouldn't be allowed to vote.

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.
