Maybe, but honestly I have talked to about 20-25 girls over the last month and they all have some story. I mean, what are the odds?

Maybe if you hung out somewhere other than titty bars. Try a Whole Foods or a Bass Pro Shop.

 

[BlackLantern]

Bass Pro Shop? novel....I commend Bass Pro Shop, they have been pushing this whole "get outdoors and talk to people" campaign...they even did a thing last summer where if you traded in a video game, you get a piece of camping equipment free or at a discount....sleeping bag, jacket, whatever

 

[chamber-music]

So are there any women out there who aren't damaged in some way? It seems every girl I meet has some sob story about their past from the abusive ex-boyfriend, to almost getting raped, to being molested, numerous daddy issues etc. I mean, at this point I'm starting to think these *****es are making this **** up however terrible that might sound. Seriously, in the last 2 weeks, every girl I've met or talked to. It's ridiculous.

You might just live in an area with alot of *****ebag type guys

eh....Bill Clinton got caught out for being an adulterer and is easily this countrys most popular President in the past 30 or 40 years

here's the jist....if people like you, they will overlook all your garbage qualities....if they don't you're ****ed

Clinton could kill a hooker today, run for President in November and still win

For real reminds me of the whole corruption at FIFA and Strauss-Kahn Rape thing.

In France the press will straight up ignore adultry and sexault assualt stories involving politicians. They "have a boys will boys mentality".

As for Soccer corruption when British media complained they were corrupt one of the Fifa vice presidents said yes but only British and Americans complain about that stuff corruption is seen as a normal way of life in Africa, South America, The Middle East, parts of Europe ect

People are willing to settle and accept all kinds of bad things

[Mystirious]

well Darth was talking about his wimmen issues....which is a valid point

I have a female friend who had a really ****** and abusive childhood....and she is still very cautious about who she lets into her life

That's just awful

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

One last point on the whole, 'If someone is liked, they can get away with murder' talk..

Anyone who commits viscous crimes and thinks it won't matter at all to the people around them , are insulting the integrity and intelligence of these very people.

 

[Darthphere]

I follow Coming to America when it comes to meeting woman. The library, church etc.

 

[chamber-music]

People still go to Libaries?

 

[Franklin Richards]

University. Not public.

What the what

That's just such a stupid policy. If that is true that is utterly ridiculous

Adultery is not a crime.

The 'Seduction' Myth: What the French Still Don't Get About Sex

Dominique Strauss-Kahn has not been convicted of any crime. Neither would it be appropriate to indict French society — the pervasive sexism parading as a celebration of "difference," the self-indulgence of the "caviar left," of which he is a prime exemplar — for his (alleged) behavior. To do so, after all, would be to fall into the same facile trap as the various French commentators who, in the days since the International Monetary Fund chief's arrest in New York City for sexual assault and attempted rape, have fallen all over the case as an example of American sensationalism and, of course, classic "Puritanism."
But still.

The arrest of the "great seducer," as Strauss-Kahn is commonly known in France — on shocking charges of notably unseductive behavior toward an immigrant single mother working as a hotel housekeeper — didn't come entirely out of the blue for those who have closely observed his behavior toward women over the years. And that behavior has occurred in, and perhaps been encouraged by, a culture that takes a complacent, even complicit attitude toward inappropriate, sometimes predatory sexual action on the part of powerful men, normalizing it, even occasionally romanticizing it, under the catchall cliché of Gallic seduction.

In their 2006 book Sexus Politicus, authors Christophe Deloire and Christophe Dubois dedicate a whole chapter to Strauss-Kahn, in which they delicately relate the story of a young journalist who claimed that "DSK" had, in a private interview, shown himself to be "very enterprising, even unseemly, to the point where she thought of bringing charges." In 2007, when Strauss-Kahn's candidacy to be the managing director of the IMF was announced, the website Rue89 spoke of his "too pronounced" taste for women. Jean Quatremer, a reporter for the left-wing daily Libération, wrote in his blog at the time that Strauss-Kahn's "relationships to women" were a "real problem." "Too insistent ... his actions often border on harassment," Quatremer wrote. "A failing that everyone in the media knows about, but which no one talks about. (We are, after all, in France.)"

In France this week, the cataclysm of Strauss-Kahn's arrest brought the start of a much needed conversation about the virtue of maintaining this long-cherished code of silence. Tristane Banon, the aforementioned young female journalist, came forward to say that she was going to formally lodge a complaint against Strauss-Kahn. Her mother, Anne Mansouret, a Socialist regional counselor and friend of Strauss-Kahn's family, came forward to express her "regret" that she'd dissuaded her daughter from taking action in the past, for fear of breaking her family's important political and personal ties to the influential politician. Another female journalist spoke of the callousness of colleagues who routinely dismissed allegations by women about the predatory behavior of powerful men with talk of "She asked for it." She wrote, "The understanding is that the rapist isn't guilty but almost the victim of the woman who's a tease."

This message was drowned out by the much louder chorus of voices rising to declare Strauss-Kahn a victim. The corps of French journalists who have enjoyed the delicious privilege of keeping DSK's — and other politicians' — sexual peccadilloes to themselves appeared horrified by the fact that, in America, his accuser's name and face were kept hidden from public view while he himself was humiliatingly photographed in handcuffs and subjected to "pitiless media pressure," as Le Nouvel Observateur put it. "What do we know about the chambermaid?" read a suspicious headline in the respected daily Le Monde

As Strauss-Kahn's case moves forward in New York, the particular form of French "exceptionalism" that holds that men will be men and women will be women and no amount of political correctness can — or should — temper their natural desires will be on trial too. Like it or not, Strauss-Kahn and his supporters now have to play by our rules. These don't stem from prudishness or Puritanism. They're based on respect, on updated understandings of male-female power relations and on a desire to change the nasty little systems of complicity that have long kept them flowing in one direction.

Rather crazy stuff. Anyway I'm just waiting for Germany to invade Greece

 

[Mystirious]

Adultery is not a crime.

Of course not but sexual assault certainly is

 

[Darthphere]

Only if you get caught.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Being a dick should be a crime. People are too obnoxious these days.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I may be showing my age, but in my day we handled ***** in house. No need to call the Law Dogs.

[Anubis]

Well, I just ordered the Save-The-Dates we'll be sending out next week. She didn't let me do Star Wars but we found a compromise.

Spoiler

EDIT: I censored out the bits that would allow you people to find the ceremony. I'm sorry Hush. She won't let me invite internet friends.

Haha, Nice.

 

[Mystirious]

It certainly is

I hope Womp has a really fab wedding

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, I'll be sure to take pictures of the ceremony and after party.

maybe on an individual level, yes I agree...but as a group it really doesn't matter...again President Clinton got caught ON NATIONAL TV, lying about having an affair and is still the most popular and well liked political figure in America

What the what

That's just such a stupid policy. If that is true that is utterly ridiculous

seriously...back in the day, Khan would have made a phone call....the French government would call our state department, we send someone over to clean up the scene, pay some hotel staff off, and no one would be the wiser

Screw that, Pepe needs to go to pound-me-in-the-ass prison. Learn some manners at the hands of a rough trick named Bubba.
