      <![CDATA[Apologies to everyone for getting off the article topic and hijacking the thread.<br>
Simply responding to why we can't have nice things.<br>
  Actually we have more nice things than most of the world's population.<br>
Why do we have nice things?<br>
  Depending on the answer to that one simple question you know all you need to know about someone's political/economic opinions.

<br>
No one mentioned anything about economics, but now that you mention it that would fall into that whole "worst aspects of the dominant culture" thing I tried to get going as a discussion earlier in the thread....<br>
<br>
But no! You guys wanna go on with your bang-bang-chest-thump macho crap and/or your pseudo-sensitive-ponytail-guy crap. Pah!

If elected's post is their opinion, I sure don't think it reflects my opinon or real conservatism. Anymore than that Larry guy reflects all left wing thought.<br>
 Conservatives arent going anywhere, btw.<br>
   Sorry to smash ur dream of a one party country with no opposing opinions.

      <![CDATA[I know I'm rather late on responding to this column, but I feel that I have a perspective that needs being addressed, especially because it is one that the vast majority of men truly do not want to admit to themselves, let alone to the entire world. Recently, my girlfriend, as a human development major, revealed to me studies showing that men's sexual peak occur around their 18th year, and that from then they decline in their sexual desires, while women slowly progress and grow more and more desirous of sexual fulfillment.

      <![CDATA[Which brings us back to my thing: Why do women *want* to succeed in business? Is it not the modern purview of all things Manly and, well, frankly abhorrent about the species?<br>
<br>
Would gender equality in prehistory have consisted of women killing the big animal with pointy stick?<br>
<br>
Of course, that brings us back around to arty's lovely intimation that this "P C bullshit" has "corroded" our society by "feminizing" men....<br>
<br>
Are the men really being feminized if the women are succeeding on the man's level?<br>
<br>
It's all a mess and, frankly, I think it's hard to get your head around it until you've faced it.....<br>
<br>
Which is why it's always funny to hear white men talk about how they're persecuted.

      <![CDATA[Ron: "Women should totally learn to act like men better."<br>
<br>
If you believe that then you are saying I need to "act black" to succeed in the NBA.<br>
