Why dad's advice is worthless to today's young men:

And that's when there's a dad still in the picture...

I was way wrong about Rosling a couple of days ago. I never did anything for anyone who had Ebola.

Holy shit Lastangos article is beyond hilarious to me as the epitome of the devil woman these salty men harp about constantly. It makes me really happy to know this bitterness exists against women like me. Like some dude, looks at me while I'm out shopping and thinks by my very nature of having a vag and looking like I'm in my 20's (I'm not but I look young) I am a mega entitled bitch who will sperm jack some poor soul and take his modest middle class income while accusing him of rape. That's so rad to me.

How come Amy's blog attracts so many salty men anyways and why don't I really encounter them in real life? Seems most men I interact with have a real joy for life and don't stink of paranoia that young American women are hideous fat foul-mouthed trolls that they have to settle for because women aren't what they used to be.

@Ppen,

Well, James Calvell wrote in his novel Shōgun:

“It's a saying they have, that a man has a false heart in his mouth for the world to see, another in his breast to show to his special friends and his family, and the real one, the true one, the secret one, which is never known to anyone except to himself alone, hidden only God knows where.”

Plus, this is the internet, where you will find people from different walks of life.

To me Ppen the difference is growing up in an environment where the sexes are trivialized, where sex on a first date is not uncommon, where having a good time is the "long game", and music of the day assumes women are "hos" versus growing up in the opposite environment.

Today's game is different UNLESS you decide WHAT you want, WHO you want that from, and WHEN you will execute that plan.

Until a boy does that he is simply pissing in the wind at the mercy of girls more focused on their friend's opinions than on his.

Imagine going to a car lot not knowing what type of vehicle, odometer mileage, payment amount, etc.

IT IS UP TO EACH INDIVIDUAL TO DECIDE WHAT POND THEY WANT TO FISH IN.

I'm curious Ppen, are you married? Are most of your female friends married? I'm not being sarcastic. This is an honest question.

Andrew Sullivan is right on about Trump and his lies -- recognizing that all politicians lie but Trump's lies are another kind.

I am always amused by articles which call out "the Age of Trump".

He's not the cause. He's the result - of decades of laws-for-thee-but-not-for-me, of entitlement programs designed to perpetuate and increase their influence, of an inability of some of the public to believe in the face of WalMart's "lower prices every day" that things aren't free. Every excuse is offered for why the great program doesn't work, from Obamacare to MOX.

Robert Heinlein's fans have recognized "the crazy years" for decades: there is no behavior vile enough to be discouraged, no standard which enforcement isn't heinous discrimination against {name of aggrieved party here}.

Supposedly intelligent people will nod in agreement that raising the supply of something results in more use of it, pointing at swelling welfare rolls - then deny the same if it is suggested of drugs. Living and thriving in a society which demands protection from malpractices internal and external, they casually buy chemicals at the box store which are expressly forbidden to the commercial grower of fruits and vegetables, then protest when they cannot compete with those growers without controls of any kind.

We get the politicians we enable. No more, no less, and we squeal about changing the pond water because we will see what's in it if we are forced to look.

Well, the "Age of Trump" seems to have instilled a new found respect for the Constitution in proggies.

Some, the 2nd Amendment. Others? the right of free association.

Of course, this is borne out of the laws-for-thee-not-for-me sentiment that got them Trump in the first place.

Not a link, but just a note of thanks: Amy, the anti-robocall device you recommended has changed my elderly mother's life. She must have been on every list in the world for seniors with landlines, and received 8-10 robocalls and live scammers per day.

For Christmas, I gave her the call blocker you recommended. The calls that get through are down to one or two per week, and she gets a kick out of pushing the big red button to add them to the blocked database. She also likes to see how many calls were blocked per day.

Two of her friends already have ordered their own after seeing how hers works.

It's hard coming up with useful and fun gifts for older people. This one was a home run. Thank you!

Canada's superior legal system makes life safer for her citizens.

As long as the cannibals take their meds they are free to wander amongst the citizenry.

Yeah. That Trump. Can't do anything right. Even say "Sure. Go ahead w/Obama's raid." and it is his fault. Everyone knows that.

Sooo Glaaad MSM is fair and partial. (Heh Heh)

The sad thing about Trump's lies, when he actually does it, is that he does not have to. I am perfectly fine with the truth from him, even if it verifies something the radical leftoids are claiming or is simply, "Face it, America, we're really screwed!"

In the meantime, speaking of leftoids:

Trump may lie, but he is also causing THIS.

I'm sure Strickland's politics had absolutely NOTHING to do with THIS.

Here, let me try again:
