people often ask me why i don't have children...."is it because you don't like them?
" it's quiet the contrary.
i like them alot!
Very balanced post and many good points, Scully. You are one of the most unselfish people I know.
I admire people who don't want children and say so. I appreciate their honesty. Of course, if any did have kids, they should keep that opinion to themselves for the sake of the kids. I know a couple of kids that are messed up because their mom keeps telling them that she never wanted kids.

israeli movement builds for arab population transfer
Bullshit. It is still "relocation" by race. You are moved from your home simply because you are Palestinian?
Look at the trouble Israel's housing policies are causing. Palestinian families are forced out of their home...homes that have been passed down since their grandfather built it...so that it can be bulldozed down and a new home built for a Jewish family.
If Israel hasn't got enough room for its citizens, then why don't they simply refuse to let more people emigrate to Israel?
I am Canadian by birth. My landlord is an East Indian immigrant and three or four generations live in his home. I guess it is perfectly reasonable to force four generations out of his home so that me and my son can live there instead. After all, I am a natural born citizen, so I should have more rights than him, correct? Better yet, lets force him to move back home, to his own "kind", in another country. They will be fine, because East Indians in Canada are indistinquishable from those in India, right?
Such racist policies are sick, sick, sick.
Why stop at race? Why not use religion as the basis for relocation? After all, getting peace in Ireland is really easy. Remove either all the Protestants or all the Catholics. Why didn't they do it decades ago?
Damn, I could get a Nobel Peace Prize.
Applauding Removal of All Catholics From Ireland
Irish Catholics have no unique culture or religion and are indistinguishable from American, British, or Canadian Catholics for that matter. They only exist in Ireland because of silly historical reasons that happened hundreds of years ago.
The irony was that Catholics in Ireland enjoyed greater freedom than many in their homelands.
Here is what a Irish Catholic spokesman once said: "Since we cannot defeat Protestants in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can , and establish a sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. "
The fact that Irish Catholics have close ties to numerous terrorist groups is beyond dispute.
It's not too late to say no to a Irish Catholic terror state. It's not too late to tell the truth about Irish Catholics .
We also need to allow our ally in this terror war, our only true ally in Ireland to defend themselves. We need to stop putting the handcuffs on Irish Protestants . We need to stop meddling in their affairs. We need to stop giving ultimatums to the only party in the dispute who actually listens to us.

This is a joke right?
It smells a lot like the German propaganda for the "Final Solution" to the Jewish problem in WWII. Germany was just going to relocate all the Jews...
It is like Canada's solution in WWII as well...."relocating" all Japanese people to those nice little "homes", er, prisons...and who gives a fuck if all their property and possesions are destroyed. Not to mention friends and families torn apart.
Tearing people from their homes and forcing them to move elsewhere because of their race is barbaric and sick.
Folks, due to U.S. Immigration laws I was "relocated" back to Canada last year. Taken from a nice home to a shabby apartment. Lost my fiance and the love of my life. Lost my stepsons and my 9 year old son lost his stepmom whom he considers to be his real mom. He still crys for her.
Her youngest son misses me. How do you tell a young child that daddy isn't coming home anymore because it is against the law? But mommy, my stepdaddy could live here last year....
She still crys for me...
Now this pathetic situation is due to laws that I consider sort of reasonable. Think of how much more crying there will be when an entire race is relocated.

to explain: i recall in the 60's and 70's driving down portsmouths commercial road during a lunch time.
in the summer, there would be dozens of pretty girls strolling along, enjoying their lunch breaks.. high-heeled, well groomed and shapely of leg and well turned ankle, these delightful creatures smelled as good as they looked and were a real tonic to an over worked young man such as me.. so where are all the pretty women now?
all i see these days are skinny women with their boobies pushed up to their chins and half a pound of shrapnel punched through their noses and ears.
i have a friend that works at diablo canyon nuclear power plant here in california.
pg and e hooked up a load of nuclear fuel to a defected hitch.. (inside sources say that they were well aware of the defect) .
they drove about 40 feet away when the hitch broke and the trailer dropped!.
On an unrelated topic, you have a cool website, RT
does anybody else deal with this kind of situation?
my current partner of 2 years is very cute, sexy, and exotic.
great, right?
I agree with joannadandy and LB. You are shooting yourself in the foot. Trust me, I am the foremost expert at that.
If you can't handle her beauty, then change ladies. You owe it to her to have a normal life.
My first soul mate was so beautiful she got hit on at least for times a day. I know because I counted during the 2 to 4 hours a day I visited her at the store she owned. God knows what the normal daily total was. I knew she only wanted me, and the attention she got made both of us feel good.
Now, I am not sure I would not like guys hitting on my lady. I think I am getting insecure or something. But I sure as hell would make certain both of us had a normal life anyway. The guys can look all they want, it would make her feel good if they did.
If you are meeting her needs, she will never stray. If you are not meeting her needs, good luck.

Hmmm, I'm an old fart too but I find today's women more beautiful than ever. I think a lot has to do with the fitness craze. Nothing like a nice flat tummy.
Good point, LB

Well, here is where I can now be accused of being phony. For those of you who read this and think I am as phony as this will sound...one of the most attractive women I have ever met had been hideously scarred from head to toe in a house fire.
Anybody who knows me knows I am very fussy about a lady's looks for what I find attractive. But what really draws me is her heart, her intellect and her soul. And I am very fussy about those.
I freely admit to being weird on this issue. I am probably the only male who can look through a Victoria's Secret catalog and not be impressed. Windrider tested me on that. I told her that the women were obviously beautiful, but their looks didn't interest me. And I didn't know why. So she had me point out any that interested me. I found one. She looked at the model and immediately told me why that lady's looks attracted me when the others didn't. She was right. Those who know me well enough will know why.
Englishman, maybe it is where you live. Different cities make a big difference.
Seattle doesn't have a lot of women, but most are quite good-looking.
Downtown Ottawa abounds with beautiful women. So many that employers had adopted a disgusting employment practice. Hiring only very competent but drop-dead gorgeous women. This practice is delibrate. I enjoy eyecandy as much as any man, but I don't think looks should be a hiring requirement for most jobs. Except for a few firms, this practice did not apply to men. The good old double standard at work again.
I lived in Carleton Place, Ontario. Full of really nice people as long as you didn't piss them off. I swear they had an Ugly convention there at one time and nobody went home. Both the men and women were ugly. The whole time I lived there, I only saw two beautiful women...and one of them was my wife. A co-worker who lived there confirmed this...he made a similar comment out of the blue.
Where I live now I call Ugly Central. If you lived here you would know why.
Richard, who is not as phony as this sounds class.
