If you're holding your child and someone physically attacks you, that is absolutely a situation in which deadly force would be justified, especially if you have no way of knowing if the person who "jumped on you" is armed. The average person doesn't carry a gun on them so you'd absolutely try to punch them. You also have the option of just running away. This was in a Costco so a very public place. I mean, the cop shot both the parents too so I'm just gonna take a random guess and say he probably overreacted. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 |

| TommyG663513 06/14/19 8:46:18 PM #3 | The movie was sort of ruined for me when I researched the actual events and discovered just how much of the reality was altered for the movie. Like it was very significant. The movie was a fairy tale. Miracle is a film that actually captures the facts of an event while still being a great film. Pretty rare at how dramatic the real events of that film were. They really didn't have to change anything to make it movie worthy. I still think Remember the Titans is a good film, but I enjoyed it more when I thought it was real. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 |

People cared enough about this to put the work in to get these decals put on police vehicles. Why would they be allowed to care, but not the people who oppose it? The reality is that "in god we trust" violates separation of church and state, but people have done very little against that. It is minor, but it is worth discussing. I don't have a major issue with it as long as it stops with the decal.

Can you please elaborate on how it'd lose all meaning? Not really sure what you're getting at here. Women feel societal pressure to adhere to feminine roles as well and those effects can be toxic. Thus, strict adherence to gender roles, masculine or feminine, can be rather toxic. What is the problem with having a gender neutral term for toxic or problematic behaviors stemming from a strict adherence to gender roles?

Conflict posted...nemu posted...There are certainly negative behaviors for both sexes that should be addressed, but the whole toxic masculinity discussion is too much of a one-sided buzzword. It falls too close to other nonsense like mansplaing and manspreading. If the creation of the term was truly simply about the dissolution of negative aspects and the empowerment of positive aspects, there would be an active buzzword for women as well. It's basically trying to put more of an onus on men than women for the issues in the world. If only there was a gender neutral term that highlighted problems adhering from societal pressures to conform to traditional gender roles. I'm being serious here though. I completely agree with you. Inventing and actively using a term like toxic masculinity without a feminine equivalent seems rather biased to say the least. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 |

| TommyG663513 06/01/19 11:50:54 PM #46 | The23rdMagus posted... The Admiral posted...Toxic masculinity occurs when the expectations of men are actually toxic and harmful to society -- things like needing to act violent to feel manly, needing to fight to assert yourself around other men, needing to act misogynistic or treat women like shit, needing to rebel against authority and break the law to prove that no one can tell you what to do, etc. Those aren't necessarily toxic. In fact, as you've said them, there is nothing wrong with those at all. You've failed to highlight what is toxic about them. Asserting authority through violence would certainly be toxic, but not at all if you do it in a professional manner. Judges assert their authority in courtrooms.

It describes beliefs and actions that are harmful to the self and others that are labeled as masculine traits by cultures and societies. Eh, it matters to what extreme you take things and to what reason you attribute certain actions. Never crying about anything, because you don't want to cry may just be labeled as masculine. Very actively repressing intense feelings of sadness that may lead to crying and instead expressing anger possibly through violence would be toxic masculinity. Crying fairly often and/or in public or inappropriate places like work would be someone who needs to get a grip on their emotions. The term toxic masculinity gets thrown around a lot in ways that imply a problem with masculinity itself. Toxic masculinity is mostly just various types of violence and bullying stuff.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the show probably ended very badly. I've never watched GoT before. I think it is a bit crazy to care about a show this much, but it is also sad that the creators of the show couldn't end it in a satisfying enough way. Clearly they've benefited from fans loving the show so much so they owe it to them to deliver a quality product. From reading through topics on this it sounds like they rushed what could have been a few seasons worth of stories into one season. That seems like a fair complaint.

| Topic | Men shouldn't be making laws about women's bodies |
| TommyG663513 05/19/19 10:59:38 PM #287 | I am very much pro choice. Honestly though, I'm way more bothered by the arguments coming from pro choice people than pro life people. The thing I have to give to pro life people is that their arguments tend to be more consistent and less contradictory even though I disagree with their stance. I keep seeing weird straw man arguments from pro choice people where they assume the other persons vaguely related political positions. Typically pro life people think life begins at conception and typically that is a religiously fueled idea (though you can definitely argue that while being atheist). They feel outlawing abortions decreases abortions. Pro choice stances inherently seem a lot more convoluted. Though that depends. For instance, I am pro choice, but generally pretty anti abortion. My stance comes down to believing abortion is mostly wrong, but I don't believe it should be attempted to be reduced or banned through legislation that criminalizes the act. I think the option should be available, but I believe it is a poor option. There is more nuance to my opinion than that, but that is the gist. Arguing that men shouldn't be able to make laws that only effect women is dumb. The reason being that abortion clearly effects more than women (though it still is mostly a women's issue) and females are sometimes pro life and thus can be the constituents of these male legislators. Being a pro life woman isn't being a traitor to your sex though I'd still argue it is a stupid position to hold for other reasons. Honestly, people should just be responsible in choosing sexual partners and in their use of contraceptives. That alone solves the vast majority of problems stemming from this though I get that people making mistakes is a part of life. I mostly wish that pro life people would give up this battle on the legislative front and enact various types of social programs that make carrying a baby to term an easier solution. Stuff like shelters for pregnant women, better adoption and foster child programs, daycare, job placement for expecting mothers, etc. A lot of churches do offer various programs like this, but I wish they would be the only real focus in preventing and/or reducing abortion rates. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 |

Yeah she clearly contributed to the bad/mediocre sex and doesn't want to take responsibility for it. Sometimes the better play is to just withhold a bit. Build some tension. Don't just quickly talk then go have sex. dolomedes posted... And don't get me wrong. Most sex with most people is bad the first time. You just don't know how the other person works. So a word to the wise guys out there: the first time you f*** a girl, do everything as slowly as you can. Get to the sex slower. Rub her c*** first, very softly and slowly. Eat her out a little. Kiss all the way down her body. When you get to the p-i-v, don't be a jackhammer. Like Tenacious D says, f*** her gently. Move slowly, every movement of every muscle made with intention. It will be amazing, for you and for her. She will call you back. You're not going to be able to be a porn star that first night. But you can be sensual, and f***ing great. It is true except for the part where she acknowledges it isn't great the first time with someone new then talks about a fantasy where the first with someone is a more sensual experience. She cant have it all. If you want one night stands and want something sensual then your expectations are off. Was she ever sensual to them? Girls can contribute to how good or bad sex is too. Fair enough for her to try something out and learn some things. I hope she realized that the sensuality she craves isn't so realistic unless she has a real connection with someone. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 |
