Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. C S Lewis.

On the flip side, when men have mental problems, they are usually much more serious.

Well DUD, Men deal with tasks and goal oriented behavior, it IS nature. After watching my kids grow up, I never had one of my girls take apart a alarm clock to see how it worked, but you can bet who did. Women are much more introspective, the will talk for hours about their relationships and feelings. Despite the metro-sexual BS you see, men are not that interested in what a person feels, They is interested in what his companions do. Dwelling in the transitory nature of feelings is not good mental health. Coupled by the nonsense women chose to be exposed to; soaps, romance novels and cheep dramas, the opportunity for some neuroses are inevitable. They tend to create unrealistic expectations of what their relationships and life should be. The serious mental health issues, schizophrenia, bipolar, etc. women are a little more likely to manifest these conditions- why? I do not know nor does anyone else. But these are organic brain disorders, we are at just beginning to understand these diseases. The best treatment for common neurosis- become active and involved in your world. Bake some cookies for the neighbors, visit a shut-in, write a letter. ENGAGE!

Anyone who engages in bad behavior in the military has a much better chance of being convicted of a crime than the average Joe on the street. Many years ago a very wise Sargent Major give a little talk, in true soldierly fashion he stated that there were three rules for sex in uniform.
1. "Don't hump the help".
2. "Don't play where you work".
3. "Don't get on your knees for your boss".
After serving 22 years on active duty, I can add one more.
"If you are not legal to drive a car, you don't drive your pecker". Most of the "rapes" I have seen prosecuted in the Army had to do with both individuals being inebriated, the next morning the female had second thoughts, and under UCMJ, a drunk chick can not give consent.

An Armed person is a citizen, an unarmed person is a subject.

Suicide among gay men is unusually high for any population, as is substance abuse, domestic violence, and homicide. The highest suicide rates in the US are in urban areas on the west coast. San Francisco and Seattle trade places for the suicide capital among adult males. There is a dark side to the lifestyle.

Let's not call it Ebonics, lets just call it what it is, substandard English- I was raised in rural Texas and much to my mother's chagrin I spoke like it until I reached age 13. I did not want to end up as just another good'ol boy, white trash, oil field throwaway. The manner that you speak determines what doors will open. Being stupid has it's own reward. My children are black, they all speak correct English. They have done well.

You want to see real suffering? See what happens when a countries money becomes worthless. Savings disappear, retirement incomes become worthless, real hard poverty makes an appearance. Hunger becomes a real problem, people get cold. Sickness goes untreated, the government becomes a joke, but no one will be laughing.

I ask my wife, she being black her entire life said, "Why would he waste his words on knuckleheads, if they believe that s--t, no one is going to change their minds, they are too stupid to find their ass with a chair".

Wonder if Obama's forefathers sold slaves to the colonies? #23 | Posted by Federalist, No but his fore fathers marketed slaves to the middle east- which dwarfed the American slave trade for 500 years before and to this present day. Remember southern Sudan? Somalia? BTW, Obama's family is mostly Arab- according to family sources.

Is it media hype or is this really one of the worst twisters ever?
#75 | Posted by Tor: it was a F5- winds in excess of 210 MPH, it don't get worse, some F5s have been larger, but not any stronger. Wichita Falls '79 and Oklahoma City '00 had larger footprints, both were F5s. What a F5 does is strip a frame home completely off a slab or throw a car a mile or so. Think B52 raid.

I used to work across the street from a very popular gay bar- believe me, gay people use gay slurs on each other often and with a degree of hatefulness that would impress any homophobic troglodyte.

Just click your heals together and say "There's no place like home, there's no place like home"...

The LAW says, a homicide committed during the commission of a felony is the fault of the perpetrator/s of the crime, regardless of who fired the bullet. This entire situation was the fault of the murderer/hostage taker. Of course this is NYC, a place where it is popularly believed that the police are responsible for your safety, they are not. I am always amused that the folks that impose gun control on us are protected by rent-a-thugs with guns. Michel More being a extreme example, he seldom leaves his house with less that four armed body guards.

The ugly truth is that gay men are usually murdered by their lovers, just like straight people are usually murdered by a spouse or family member. This was not much more than an alcohol fueled fight that escalated to murder. The fact that the victim was gay is incidental. When the facts come out, the perp was likely gay too- but it makes for a better news story if it sounds like a hate crime.

What goes around, comes around.

The problem with American's diet is laziness, too lazy to cook, or they think they don't have time, so they buy prepared crap. Too high in fat and sugar. If you want to eat healthy, know what is going into your mouth. Learn to cook, can and garden, just like your grandma did.

I have about 1/2 acre of veggies growing in my yard. squash, tomatoes, okra, beans, peas, melons, peppers, etc. Takes me about two hours a day. That and several fruit trees, make me pretty well self sufficient, saves me about $200 a month on groceries. I have a well and the pump cost me four bucks a month to run. I use leaf liter and grass clippings to fertilize. I don't use much but a shovel and a hoe. I believe the best things a person can do is not become a burden to others. This city is sort of unique- we can have a couple dozen chickens on a property this size. I'll start that next spring. Call me a prepper, but I think things will get a lot worse before they improve. I might get my power cut off, but I wont starve. Libs can keep looking to their great father in Washington to save them as they starve and freeze in the dark.

Hey Zat.... he might have been a Marine but the POS russian rifle he "used" to shoot at JFK had to have shims put into it just so the sights would line up.... AFTER it was confiscated. Sorry, but please do not show your ignorance- Oswald used an Italian war surplice rifle,a 6.5 mm Carcano rifle had been in his possession for more than two years, less than a year before he had tried to kill a conservative radio commentator, Gen. Edwin A. Walker. (April 1963). The weekend before the assassination Oswald sighted in his rifle at a lake using beer cans at a hundred yards. Oswald, according to his wife, was known to dry fire the rifle for hours. The Federal ammunition he used was a very "hot" load, giving his weapon a much higher speed and flatter trajectory than the standard cordite load the Italian military used.

OK, the fact is 471 to 3, not much of a show of impartiality. As far as the Koch Brothers go, and I was accused of lying, the Tide Foundation give 7 times the money to the left and far left causes than the Koch Brothers do to the right. Over a ten year period period the figure is 9 times that.
Net Assets: Tides Foundation - $175,019,369 (2009); Tides Center - $69,556,930 (2009)
Grants Received: Tides Foundation - $115,887,921 (2009); Tides Center - $60,111,511 (2009)
Grants Awarded: Tides Foundation - $97,028,446 (2009); Tides Center - $5,959,805 (2009), After Obama's election no new figures have been released in direct violation of the law for a 501c corp. Don't hold your breath on the law looking into that.
Koch Industries $13,151,536 2012 (during election). Which is much more than their average contributions. BTW Soros has always outspent them.

Those who should be ashamed are not. What a screwed up administration, Holder has his feet held to the fire when it is obvious that he is ether perpetrating a false hood or he is totally incompetent, and because of this the one who is asking some questions that should be ask is "shameful".

We can not shake our fist at God for the weather, the same clouds that bring tornadoes also bring rain. The day after the storms folks are cleaning up, seeing insurance companies and starting to rebuild. Stores reopen if possible and life goes on. Tornadoes do kill people but not as many as the heat, or the cold, or lightning. During the weekend of the storm more died state wide in traffic accidents, more will next weekend on average. I have seen F4 and F5 storms, pretty inspiring. Sort of puts one in his place.

So the savages will burn down their own homes, call it urban renewal. The rest of us will be like those Koreans in LA, locked, loaded and waiting.

If "No limit gangster" had been successful and was able to dash out Zimmerman's brains on the sidewalk, as he was trying to do, none of this would have made the news, a black kid murdering a stranger. No news here. Unpleasant to know that 8%(black males) of the population is responsible for 40% of the murders.

A thug in Chicago, and a thug in the White House. I ask all to read how and what this Chicago thug did to become a state senator, a federal senator, and POTUS. The story is rife with abuse of power and blatant cronyism. This man will eventually be impeached. All the sycophants in the press can not prevent it. 2014 is an election year- I believe the Dems will be so tainted by his sleaze that the Repubs will take control of the senate and increase their majority in the house. Look for impeachment hearings in Feb 2015.
