    "More Bad Judges"

    Jack Newfield of The Nation has a piece about the Bush administration's latest crop of federal judicial nominees. Needless to say, he does not approve, concluding:

    Bush is trying to transform America through lifetime judicial appointments for this biased batch and their clones. The bottom line is that the reckless Bushies are willing to violate computer privacy and vandalize the Bill of Rights to expedite this transformation. George W. Bush was appointed President by the Supreme Court after losing the popular vote by more than 500,000. Now he is trying to use the courts to legislate a mandate the voters never gave him by abusing the power of appointment and ignoring the Constitution's "advise and consent" clause.

    It's sad that marriage has to come to that Jeff. But if you love someone poorer or richer than yourself, than you have to survive without the love of that person. That is just unfair.

    True, But that is for those that have them. what about the other 50% of americans that either dont have them, or dont have a clue as to what we are talking about. I would love to see a zero marriage failure rate and zero child abuse... But in a country as messed up as this, you had better protect yourself and best to stay out of the crosshairs of the the government and that includes the judges.

    I guess it all goes back to what my elderly friend has always said:

    "It is better to be alone than poorly accompanied."

    So true.

    We keep hearing that Charla Mack's attorney was Shawn Meador...Who is Darren Mack's attorney? How did he (or she) manage to keep their name out of the media?

    DB, your elderly friend is soooo correct. I've been told by elderly relatives that it's best to not let too many people into your life, you don't who they are and what they have in their heads.

    I'd rather live alone than live with an abusive person.

    FTJ, I agree with you. I admire a man who has the balls to stand up for what he believes in.

    Men have become "wupped" by women in the past and are wussified. They aren't even man enough to keep a family together! American women are so damn spoiled, you should see them in So. California. Can't drive that Mercedes SUV, or Lexus without that damn cellphone glued to their ear! Have to get their manicures and pedicures every 2 weeks. Spoiled I tell you!!!

    many american women are very high maintenance Sundown, and I have no clue as to why.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered Commenterblondie
    blondie-It's because much of our society has come to the ridiculous conclusion that they are somehow entitled.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterDB
    Blondie, it's a matter of priorties.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterSundown
    blondie, let me break it down for you.It's called feminazism, the very philosophy you were spouting off about earlier---the whole "we are all equal, men and women" blah blah blah.

    Like I said, we are all equal, but some of us are "more equal" than others. If you don't know what this means, read Animal Farm by George Orwell.

    Basically, what we have here in America (and consequently in other large Westernized industrialized predominantly-white nations with roots to England), since the end of World War II, is a steady, progressive advancement of women's RIGHTS, but with the same degree (or even less) PRODUCTIVITY from them. Men, during the same time, have seen an equal DECLINE of their rights, while their productivity has also remained about the same.

    Here's what we have today:A culture which still relies on old-fashioned courtship rituals. This is total bullshit. You have men buying dinners, gifts, movie tickets, concert tickets, etc for women on dates. WHY??? Why should a man going out with a woman be buying her ANYTHING??? Going Dutch is one thing. Trading off who pays is one thing. The man shouldering FULL FINANCIAL responsibility of this "courtship" is fucking retarded. This is very prevalent in our society. And its the beginning of a relationship in which men put women on some stupid pedstal they have no right to be on. I could go on further but you get the point. You've heard of the ALPHA male I'm sure. Guess what? There are alpha males in most mammalian species. Humans are no exception. These are the men who make their way through life, taking no prisoners. They are in charge. Not society. Not women. Them. They are leaders. These are the guys that have fucked hundreds of women. They are out there. I have friends in this category. These are the guys women cheat on their husbands with. Here's the kicker. alpha males represent a small percent of the male population, maybe 1%. The other 99% are the wussies, subject to cultural oppression. Women seek these 99%-types as husbands because they will get the resources (money) by which to support her and the children that may or may not be his. She prefers to get impregnated by the alpha male since he is the stronger type, but will try to trick the 99%-type into believing its his so she can get his support (money).

    Obviosuly these are generalities, but this is the foundation of biology. With people, of course, we have incredibly complex social constructs that come into play. These constructs are what have given women such a boost in treatment in the states. Bottom line: Women enjoy enormous rights these days that they didn't have a hundred years ago. Women can vote, they can become doctors, fighter pilots, anything they want. In fact, there is a negative advantage for men because of affirmative action. The most prestigious schools actively recruit women for science programs, and women routinely get into those programs with lesser scores and grades than the men. Also, currently, most medical schools have a higher percentage of women students than men!

    What do I think of all this?I think it's great that women have come so far. unfortunately it was to the detriment of men. Its time to stop all favorable treatment of men or women, solely based on gender, whether it's for college, or visitation rights, or alimony. Women, stop fucking expecting a man to open a door for you, or buy your dinner. It's not "chivalrous," it's charity because the man was too stupid to realize society has become his enemy in america when it comes to gender issues.

    Oh well, get what you can ladies. You won't get any free dinners from me. I guess that's why I'm the one fucking girls behind their boyfriend's backs. They want a real man in the sack, and to father their children. It's all the nice guys out there that get to waste their money raising the kids and to get their once-a-week token pussy.

    If you want to see somewhat equal treatment, go to Scandinavia, where women have full-on taken charge. They are bigtime professionals, and do not rely on men. You'll meet doctors, psychologists, lawyers, the works. And guess what? They don't expect men to buy them drinks at the bar. And the men DONT! The women here also dont expect men to open the car door for them. And the men DONT! The women are more sexually free, and don't use sex as a weapon to get resources from men.

    American women should take a clue.So are all women equal to all men? Hell no. American women, for the most part, are a few notches below many of the women in other parts of the world. Maybe you, blondie, are the exception. History would tell me that's doubtful, but who knows?

    DB, you're right on the money. It amazes me how much women (or anyone) spend $$ on themselves. High maintenance? For what? A lot of people spend above their budget, live paycheck to paycheck. When they reach retirement age, they will have to continue working because they cannot afford to retire...
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterSundown
    DB, you are absolutely right. So simple. They feel entitled. Actually men do too these days. The younger generations all feel entitled, like they dont have to work for anything. Women feel they are entitled to free dinner just because they have a pussy.

    LOL @ FTJ.....
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterSundown
    ... and some women think their privates are made of gold...

    F*** THE JUDGE-You must be a woman, too. You seem to feel entitled to post your stupidity just because you have a keyboard in front of you. Too bad internet access does not require an IQ test.

    FTJ-Not much different than the men you feel they are entitled to sex because they paid for dinner...
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterDB
    Good one, DB. 100% true.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterSundown
    Stop the Stupid People, let's start by stopping yourself dude! lol

    Ladies, this guy is a prime example of the 99%-type. They get very belligerent when confronted with society's reality. They'd rather believe what their moms have taught them---that women are precious little things, and that you need to be nice to them, and buy them things, and make a good life for them, then marry a "good one" and raise a family. Unfortunately his mom forgot to tell him that he will only fuck one maybe 2 women his entire life (this is the average for the 99%-type). And that one woman only fucks him because he is such a reliable source of resources (money). He represents stability which she needs if she's going out twice a week with her girlfriends on "girls night out" and fucking me! lol sorry dude. Who knows, maybe I've been with her. You never know.

    Too bad your mom never told you that your "dad" isn't your real dad. Your real biological dad is some stud that fucked her one night after the club closed. haha a full 30% of people have different biological dads than they think they have!!! do a search on google. Read The Red Queen book. So that means a couple of you guys (and girls) on this forum dont know who your real daddy is. Get a blood test if you dont believe me.

    So dude, instead of being a jerk to me, take the matrix blue pill. Welcome to reality. Yeah sucks to find out you have been a victim of society huh? Oh well, there's time to change. Your real daddy was a stud and you might be able to, also if you grab your balls and get out there and act like a man. Unfortunately the majority of men, even when confronted with this stark reality, are unable to fathom the notion of anything but what they were taught by mom. Their heads would literally implode to accept such a notion that they have been used.

    30% of people know their fathers ...
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterSundown
    FTJ-You are one angry individual.You must realize that your stupidity and your manhood are one in the same to feel so threatened by my comment.Your mother must be very proud of you.
    June 16, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterStop the Stupid People
    no dude. 30% do NOT know their real fathers.Look at the guy to your left. Now look at the girl on your right. One of you doesn't know who his/her father really is (and thinks it's the guy that has been raising you all your life).
