Marilyn Monroe

DreamWriter don’t listen to this SydneyB they are full of it. Good to see someone else on ImgFlip posting some good feminist content :up:

I don’t think men are natural oppressors necessarily, but we’re poorly socialized on issues of sex, no thanks to attitudes like Syndey’s.

I think Dreamwriter can choose for themselves who to listen to or not. Not really respectful and tolerant to say someone you disagree with is full of it. I'm done commenting for the night so you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Kate, your devotion to civility (and lingering hurt over the fact I called one of your opinions homophobic) has you fixated upon my peccadilloes and is blinding you to some of the truly gruesome content posted by literally hundreds across ImgFlip, including your friend Sydney.

You can't honestly read Sydney's drivel below and maintain that anything I've said or done tonight by comparison has been disrespectful or designed to shut down debate.

Well she's used to being growling uber mod on the streams she's been taking over (including telling Syd himself to go leave if he don't like it after he modded someone else's stream for the maker of it SOLO for months only to have that guy return, turn the stream into a cotton candy parade instead of the anti-anti-Trumpite conspiring one it was originally concieved of, and gave her the reins, unfeaturing a crap ton of formally approved memes going back months).

I don't think she was the one to unfeature all those memes. I'm pretty sure of it actually. I'm actually not pleased with that as the stream's tos wasn't broken as there were none.

Sure, she become its mod only 5 seconds AFTER they got unfeatured *wink*

If memory serves me right, i checked the mods moderations and it was all Slim after he came back. He wasn't happy with users attacking other users.

Maybe Kate will confirm or deny.

They were saying that also, but I had figured he was covering for her, given the timing of signing her on the day after.

I stand corrected then.

Granted this is only for the past month so doesn't show all the memes Slim unfeatured but I've not touched any memes there.

If you click on the 2 disapprovals link, it goes back a year. I confirm you have one approval, that's it but Vaga accepts that.

Thanks.

Then Jeff had you boiling too.

Hope you had aloe.

Already too many women in the justice system. Society favors men because we're stronger and more logical, rather than emotional. That's why you need affirmative action policies instead of meritocracy. Studies have shown women are happier in the home raising children, rather then the slog of work and long hours. Better then being a judge that'll excuse rape or murder because 'the defendant looks REALLY remorseful' or 'We can't be harsh cuz cultural differences, he didn't know rape was illegal!!' Not that that attitude isn't pushed by feminized bleeding heart lib soyboy apologists as well.

Wow Sydney I've seen some doozie's from you but that work above, puts you into a whole different class.

"Men are stronger, more logical and less emotional. Women should be at home, barefoot and pregnant." Is that your hope for, "making America great again"?

I've got to keep that line and post it to your comments. It's useful to discount everything you ever say.

In the military, who'd you rather be in your frontline foxhole, man or woman?

I've been tangling with a feminist today, so i was feeling feisty. That being said, society would be better off with women being mothers, homeschooling their kids instead of sending them off to Marxist indoctrination centers or not having them as much as it happens. The US birth rate has fallen for 3 or 4 years straight. Like the rest of the west, not at replacement levels.

Wow, that's quite the leftard mindset. "You can't speak or express your opinion without harassment cuz you said this once and now I must police you for something you said on a meme website"

If I was in a frontline foxhole and there was one fighter jet overhead that had to kill everyone and everything around me so that I may survive, I think I'd take a women pilot over a man.

The US birth rate will continue to fall as long as the middle class keeps getting squeezed and politicians do nothing to fix our healthcare situation.

1. Mid 70's, raises stopped.
Solution: Women went to work

2. 80's, still no raises and inflation started hitting hard
Solution: Borrow more, go to school to get an education, live beyond your means

3. 90's, still no raise and education costs rising through the roof.
Solution: Technology begins increasing productivity. Continue to reduce family size, most families have two working adults

4. 2000's, still no raises above inflation
Solution: Technology greatly increases our productivity, We still need greater debt, reduce family size further

Now? There is no one left to put to work and no other magic bullet to solve the problem.

It makes no difference if society would be better off with a woman in the house. More than 80% of married women are working, have to work and will continue to work.

You might as well ponder how great the earth would be if it were 10 times larger.

Women and men are pretty much the same. In many instances, kids would be better off if their moms were working and their dads stayed home and home schooled them.

That's not what I asked. I said in the foxhole. Take the guilt of putting a woman in the front lines out of the equation too.

Why would you prefer a female pilot?

I think that governments in countries that don't have a birthrate at replacement rates should have major benefits that promote having families and getting married. Every government should take care of their own citizens first instead of squeezing them dry, and basically not doing anything about the economic factors that deter people or outright prevent them from starting a family instead of doing nothing then throwing their hands up and saying they have no choice but to import a foreign working class. I think of Europe more when I say that especially since they are smaller countries with much lower populations and even lower birthrates. But governments don't serve their people. Europe taxes their people to death. It wasn't long ago when you could get a decent job right out of high school, or college, having paid for it with a summer job, buy a house and be able to afford to let the wife stay at home raising the family. And yes, it would be better for society to have a lower divorce rate and a mother or in some cases a father in the home, instead of working. 80% are working but it's different after the children are older. Suicide, drug use and criminality all go up under families of divorce or single parenthood. But I've given up thinking any government will do anything about this social issue. Just lip service and lust for power. Hell, Germany banned homeschooling. How many MGTOW types don't want families because they don't want to get economically crippled with alimony and child payments if she leaves him.

Women and men aren't pretty much the same. When it works, both have areas of strength and weakness that counter balances each others. We've seen the results of a generation of kids being raised by females alone. Without the masculine influence. Quite emotional, narcissistic and entitled, with exceptions of course.

Due to the fluctuations with bodily liquids, etc, in a female's body due to their estrous cycle, they are actually better able at handing g-forces and all that, so theoretically might make for better pilots.

You just verified what Spatoine said about why it is necessary for women to work to support households.

Pound for pound, humans are the weakest creatures on Earth. That's why we are so reliant on machines. Those machines and whatever other tools can function for both sexes. Or perhaps lighter jackhammers would be required for tha ladiez? Still a tool for something men can't do barefisted either.

You're both wrong on one thing. Birthrates had declined because greed works better without kids, no longer the asset they were back in the Little House on the Prairie days when half dies anyways before they were old enough to milk the cows. But the current accelarated dip is also caused by the same thing that has been nixing actual relationships and dating, and that is the WWW. You can't have kids when you txt some other lonely keyboard lover on the other side of the planet you will never meet and pretend you're in love with till a better catfish comes along and it's ghosting time again, yayaya. Skype can't handle sperm. Besides, the coming generation is so socially inept due to isolation and said www that they wouldn't know how to git their thang on despite watching online porn since whenever. So they get diagnosed as autistic and have yet more reason to wile away the hours crying online that they never had an IRL friend nor ever will.

No worries, at least it turns out The Great Wall of Trump is easy enough to cut through with the right machinery, and the Mexicans will come her in the tens of millions predicted necessary (I swear, you can look this up) to take care off aging millenies and pay the taxes to keep out gluttonous entited society going.

Just kidding, the oil and the Ogalla Aquifer will have run dry by then, and after the mass worldwide cannibal riots of 2068 are over, won't be much of anybody left to do diddly.

I agree with nearly all you said. I do think the reason my dad wanted so many kids was to provide a home grown workforce. In his case, it worked.

I don't understand the big desire to make sure we replace ourselves with a higher birth rate. The main problem on earth is the fact that there are way too many damn humans. If we could lower birth rates till there were 1 billion of us, those people could live any way they wanted to and never destroy the planet. We wouldn't have to talk about climate change, waste, ocean trash. A lower birth rate is a good trend. Other than of course, finding people to pay SS as VagabondSouffle mentioned.

I'm not so pessimistic toward our young people. There has never been an older generation who thought a younger generation was any good.

I think this group of young people will do just fine. They are really getting tired of the boomers and for good reason. Nothing positive from that generation in the last 35yrs and you've got to hand it to them, they know it.

hahaha, I think

Have we ever met before? A reduction to 1 billion is the number I've called for (and that's 'just in case' some disaster were to wipe out a huge segment of the population).

The reason for maintaining population growth is simple: economics.
A growing population = a growing economic base. It's not enough to recoup costs, the ideal is ever growing profits.

The problem with the high standard of living the US has managed to create is that it ultimately leads to entitled youth who don't want to break a sweat, opting for easier and comfortable jobs with the best pay possible in exchange for minimal effort. Laziness grows and innovation dwindles.
That's another reason for immigration, as many if not most 'American' researchers, developers, and inventors are foreign born. East & Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, now a growing influx of African - those are the names that keep popping up.

Fine is a matter of perspective. The ascendance of the USA ended half a century ago. It's over, we're just in denial. Trump has accelerated it - years instead of decades.
We still have an abundance of resources to keep afloat, but those are dwindling and the shadow of China looms at the moment. If Brazil can get it right they'll surpass us in prominence in this hemisphere.

Once on Red Eye Bill Shultz read a passage about how the youth are spoiled, lazy, use horrible language, have no respect for their elders, and dress really funny.
It was written by an Egyptian Pharoah.

I meant they will do fine in that they know we've got problems, believe in climate change and might actually point us in the right direction when it is their turn. Yeah, America has had its spoils and others will be shining for awhile.

American youth can be lazy. I worry less about laziness due to entitlement than laziness due to apathy. The entitlement laziness attitude will wear off once the middle class is gone and they have nothing left. Young people know they, (we) are f**ked. They're not stupid and contrary to what most think, this knowledge makes them educated.

Belief is irrelevent, even with the Climate Change fad whose version of action is posting Likes on Facebook for Greta memes and leaving it up to the "those people over there" to do what proponents won't do themselves.

But they are apathetic. Everyone is apathetic nowadays.
Remember the Women's Marches that began with Trump's inauguration of which they were going to have one every hundred days? Neither do they, curiously. Those went the way of the anti Iraq War demonstrations that had the neo-hippie revival wannabes all giddy right quick. Once the war began, the protestors went home.
Go back to the 60s when a march meant keep the firehouses at the ready lest they burn it all down and if not, use it on the marchers instead if you want to see why actual change happened - at the Federal to the home level.

People have reduced themselves to jeering console spectators whose only action is to venture out to buy another Venti - Fair Trade Coffee to show how much they care, natch.

That's sad because it's believable.

"However bizarre or wrong, that was one of the most coherent things I've ever seen Timber post.

The reason America won't stay at the top is size. While we may have all those things coast to coast, technology, innovation and be a powerhouse, China has 3 times the population and is quickly reaching the point where they won't even need us anymore.

There are options now for people around the globe. Honestly, I'm surprised an anti-American consortium hasn't formed to counter Trump and simply demanded us to back down or lose out world wide.

The world has moved on. That is why America is being left behind."

I usually don't read past the 1st half line of anything Dimber says because he always says the same thing, which is typically ad hominems occasionally dressed up as some pretentious pseudo intellectual babble based on revisionist fantasy.

Especially with this thread, since I've been sick this week to the point that scrolling up and down hurts my eyes and gets me close to nauseus, which is why I haven't gotten to read your earlier exchange with Syd even though I intend to yet.

The thing with China is that is DOES need us because it's basically our factory, churning out goods to sell here. Efforts to expand such domestically have met some success, but is still limited. They also sell to other markets such as in Europe.

Thing is, within China and abroad none can meet the gluttonous wasteful impulsive
appetite of the American consumer. Deprive China of the American market, whether manufacturing our goods or their own, and its economy dries up. And that's by design - giving it Most Favored Nation Trading Status is what elevated its economy in the first place.

Yes, over time it will develop more of its own consumer base as well as extend links with others as it has been doing since Trump, but minus THE big spender, it's ascendancy gets curtailed, as would any other country. The US is the modern era's Rome, its economic engine. Should that come to an end, then another Dark Ages shall begin. It's not an accident that the current world boom began after America started exporting it post WWII, with some roots going back to Woodrow Wilson, if you will.

India is a far better bet than China in the long run, more free market driven than the autocratic designed machine of China. The latter's approach suffices for now, but India's allows for innovation.

Regardless, without America the rest of the World will do what it had prior, and that is collect dust.

Valid points.

I'm wondering about our youth and the changes we're seeing in their buying habits. They're more European. Many of them don't even want a vehicle. Antiques are being devalued because younger generations are not buying up all that useless crap like the boomers did.

This may be a two pronged change we'll eventually see. Greater middle class with buying power in other countries, combined with reductions in spending by Americans.

forcing women and girls to have babies and to breed so much is evil and it's wrong! The world is way too over populated and too evil to keep adding more kids to the already messed up world. Women do not have to breed if they choose not to. Most women are intelligent enough to know that homelessness and hunger a huge issues of today and the world is way too populated right now to worry about making more people. Women do not have to keep on having kids and it's to women's advantages not too.

Hey, ghetto ho hun, u get tired yet?

Food Stamps? Why u assKing hun, you're short on WIC checks to buy your 40s?

I ask all liars who boldly lie in public places to confuse those less intelligent and those who don't know politics or what the system is about because they are usually much less educated based on factual knowledge.

stop calling people hun you low class assclown! You don't know me? Even if you did I am not hun and you need to watch yourself around me creeper!

Um, wha?

Most women are idiots, proof positive that they are the equals of men, whatever that dubious distinction means.

If most women had functioning brains located above the pelvis they would know it's easier to keep their legs closed then spread them.
P-E-O-P-L-E with higher IQs have less kids, as in only ONE per married couple. That's not enough to replace themselves.
Skeletons show that since the advent of farming 8000 years ago, the braincase has gotten smaller because stupid people could now survive. Add to that today's unmarried ghetto rats breeding like, well, rats, the acceleration of the evolution towards greater stupidity and the breakdown in the family is hastening our decline.

blame yourselves hypocrite and women and girls are way more intelligent than males as we all know and it's extremely obvious. Trauma Bonded females will wake up and stop believing males and fight for their lives one day but most women are too superior to most males and they deserve much better than these wimps calling themselves men and boys. You are so delusional and psychopathic it's surreal.

Women have brains 1/3 smaller than men, plus their cerebral cortexes are proportionally thinner while their hypothalamuses (the oft-called "lizard brain") are more developed.

This difference is even more pronouced in the ghetto.

There's a reason men invented everything and women spread their legs to benefit from it.

I rarely meet a woman that is willing to ever have sex with men so that's something I wouldn't know about since most women agree that men aren't worth it in a world like this and don't want their time spent wasted on an assholes. No liar, men didn't create everything but they lied and tried to take credit for it!

[image deleted]

"I rarely meet a woman that is willing to ever have sex with men..."

Ahh, so most women are lesbianic in nature? Good to know.

And they say Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a bad thing.

your mind is so consumed with sexual activity you automatically assume that no one is celibate by choice in a very sick world like the one we are in today lol

40's?? wtf? Is that ghetto slang?

No lumberjackoff hunks to cuddle with for 'warmth' *wink* on this sub-zero N Alberta night, toots? Eh, the booze will help your forget.

Excuse the typos, I've totally-out-of-it-sick since yesterday afternoon.

etc, I can't be arsed, the screen is hurting my eyes,,,
'scuse the typos, I've been feeling really sick.

^^ Ogallala*

Oh come on. Such a simpleton response.

The wage problem is wayyyyy bigger than illegal immigration. I can buy a table saw today that is vastly superior to one 35yrs ago and for the same amount of money, making it in effect, much cheaper. THAT, has nothing to do with illegals and everything to do with free trade agreements, people in the third world working 20hrs a day trying to have half what I have sitting on my ass complaining and working 8hrs a day.

1. Main reason: The relentless downward pressure on wages is due to the fact that we live on a globe with an ever decreasing size where things are bought and sold between people who can't even physically communicate with each other.

2. Next in line: Automation has been wiping out jobs. It will continue to do so and nearly no one is immune other than blue collar workers in construction.

NEITHER of these two are talking points of either party because there is little either can do to prevent the inevitable increase in each.

Also neither party is fussing over it because their interests (as in their corporate connections) desire said trends.

Passing bills to subsidize moving manufacturing oversees to access cheaper production at our taxpayer expense is a Republican specialty which Democrats as always have been so utterly 'unable' to counteract.

Yup.

You believe America is the center of the universe.

It's not.

Nobody cares about America anymore.

Why would anyone making a quarter what we earn, want to buy an American product at 3 times the cost they can buy it for from China?

You think people around the globe will want American products when all we do is buy Chinese? Why? Because you think we're the center of the universe.

Sure, there are Harley's and Catapillar but otherwise, people rip us off, find cheaper alternatives and work tirelessly to undercut us, while earning table scraps doing so and lead happy lives far surpassing what their parents had.

Globalization only works for us in a world where we have the majority of the population. We have 5%. We're insignificant to the world market.

Living in a global economy can do nothing but pull us down the drain deeper with time.

How am I sucking up resources any more than you are?

Everyone wants our life and will work much harder than us to get it. It's just a matter of time till enough of the world reaches first world status while at the same time the American middle class buying power continues to drop, that we reach a tipping point.

What are we going to do to prevent the inevitable?

Yeah, I'm certainly not like you. I'm not wrapping myself in the American flag, keeping my nose held high and thinking patriotism will keep us number one forever.

That's the situation you have in Canada?

Hey, how is the weather there? -30 yet, or that come later?

Southern California is in Northern Alberta? That is totally remarkable.

hahaha, simpleton TimberIQ72.

Oh geez Sydney you were being semi-respectful in our discussion thread on feminism but seems here the knives have really come out

And another Bashar al-Assad laugh reacc man you are becoming a trope

What do you mean? I didn't even get into how the 19th should be repealed. (With rare exceptions, after an intense political aptitude test, to consist of no more than 5% of the female population) I think the rest of the west can outright ban them. Swedish female liberals should be outright expelled to Mogadishu.

Assad is based. He actually protected his Christian population unlike so many others in that region. He was the victim of a gas attack hoax designed to draw the US military into war. Thankfully Trump just paid it lip service. Perfect, hell no but that's a rough neighborhood. But I suppose he should be deposed, cuz that worked so well with Saddam and Gaddafi. Remember the 'baby incubator' hoax leading up to the war?

You hold some exceedingly strange and retrograde beliefs about women.

And I get it, Syria was a nightmare, and not attacking him was a better path for our own national interest. But none of that means we have to worship Assad like he's some kind of God or genius. Don't you think Assad through better leadership could have prevented his country from spiraling into an atrocious civil war? He brazened it out and through a combination of torture, war crimes, cynical military and diplomatic tactics, and sheer brutality somehow clung to power.

But I would wager you are just attracted to Assad because he has been directly responsible for the deaths of more human beings than any other human being in this century, with the possible exception of George W. Bush, at whose feet lie the totally preventable deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.

PREVENTABLE deaths? Now THAT'S a euphemism.

Even if it was our estimate of 400,000 instead of their 2,000,000 (and this was years ago, have no idea what it's been since), that's 400,000 that never would have happened without Cheney/Bush.
But at leasst Halliburton's bottom line made out good. And the very terrorists we lied about being there got to prove us right when they came in AFTER we destroyed the country and made it a haven for them.

see:bolivia
see:haiti
see:nicaragua
see:el Salvador
see:venezuela
see:somolia
see:ukraine
see:sudan
see:libya
see:iraq

the list is very long,and it all entails violence against sovereign nations to install puppet governments beholden to American interests.

Don't forget Guatemala, 150,000 dead for the sake of Chiquita Bananas. Literally.

Oh, and Iran, that despite us deposing THREE of their leaders in a row - including a Democratically elected one - are miffed at us for some strange reason.

I wish I could have tried the old standard banana before it got wiped out. It's claimed to have tasted like the current artificial banana flavor.

Yeah. And now the current cloned one is falling to some fungal blight, because the idiots learned nothing from the Irish Potato Famine, which was the result of using just 2 cloned varieties.
In some Bodegas and stores here you might find this short purple skinned type as well, different taste, natch.

My grandfather in PR had a incline of I don't know how many acres out back growing them.

They didn't learn from the Les Gros (?) strain suffering that. Yes, it's amazing how shaky that is. No back ups if it goes sour.

Neat. I've always thought it was interesting how potatoes have so many strains across the earth. Purple ones too. Did they get wiped out or was it the current banana type?

Oh, I forgot what happened with that one, just figured it was the usual uniformity and ease of transport without damage afflicting all the bland fruits we see in market nowadays.

There's like 2000 varities or some crap of potatoes.

My grandfather (R.I.P.) passed away from cancer in '76. Don't know if anyone kept it going after, my uncles all owning grocery stores or restaurants. Maybe they rented the land to somene who would, because it was sizeable enough.

I gotta go rest, head still hurting and my eyes ain't liking the screen.

Take it easy.

Thanks for the take it easy...

Yeah, feeling better but still a tad,,,

Yellow skinned ones, that is, plantains too probably...
