Guest c4evap Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 In reply to the "Men who look at women as objects" ok how about the other way around : Women who look at men as Bank Books (or Sugar Daddy's etc) From where I come from over 75% of women simply judge a man by the car he drives and the size of his wallet. You can be decent , honest and caring - but that don't mean a blind thing unless you got a good car! (Yes , guess who the single , jaded and bitter male is then :P ) I agree! It does not matter if it's a man or a woman. It's just plain wrong. oh this is a really easy question. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Damn! Another (I'm sure) typing mistake. I'm quite sure you meant to say "REPUBLICIAN PARTY". Ahhhhhhhhhh...now I feel better...don't you? EDIT: After re-reading this thread I must add to my list of things that "grind my gears": People who do not use proper punctuation and spell like a six year old (this especially irks me as there are tons of web-based spell checker programs). Here's the word most people spell incorrectly: they're (meaning - they are). It's usually spelled like so...there or their (both , of course, incorrect). Well, that's my rant (for now anyway). c4 B) no, i mean what i say/write. I dunno about you but all the democrates in Colorado are Dumb@$$es. IF you show them something shiny they are distracted, Now i dot not mean that every democrate is a dumb@$$ but the larger part of colorado is. The ppl here are so parinoied that they think that the CIA created Rap music so that black ppl whould kill eachother...and that CIA created hurricane katrina to hit new orleans and kill all the poor ppl, "ALL HAIL THE INTELIGENT" You may think i am joking but i am not. These ppl are dangerous democrates and the piss me off. I dont know if it more dangerous to be the only smart person in my school of democrates or to go running around naked in a lighting storm with a 20 foot poll. I should have stated that "all politicians" are crap. They are all out of touch with the will of the people be they Democrat or Republician. That is why I don't vote! Men who objectify women! :mad: :mad: :mad: Women who think, just because I admire their beauty, I am objectifying them. No, I'm just admiring your lovely body, because mine is so ugly. No. you ARE objectifying them. Truth is' date=' I think women have better personalities than men. I judge them by that. You should judge me the same way, instead of assuming I'm just a penis, looking for a good lay. That's sexist.[/b'] troy I judge you by your words on this forum. I have no other criteria to go by save for your words. Frankly speaking...I have no idea if you are "a penis looking for a good lay" (as you said). People that like cats grind my gears too. I hate those furry flea bags. You DON'T like cats?!? COSSACK! :p That tawdry avatar of yours theaveng seems rather objectifying to me, not to mention your thread on allissa milano's breasts, and some teenager from stargate being hot. If you dont want to appear to be objectifying women...... I suggest you explain, "How is admiring beauty = objectification"? To me, it's no different than admiring the majesty of the mountains or the beauty of a deer running through the woods. troy Objectification is the focusing on physical attributes while ignoring other attributes such as inteligence. Admiring the physical beauty of a person is objectifying if that is all you admire. Even if you are not thinking about sex. The character in your avatar has no attributes other than her physical appearance. That playboy movie you were ripping, I wonder how much personality was there to admire. The thread about alyssa milano or merrin you didnt mention anything but their physical attributes. So by definition that is objectifying. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying this to censor people or to make this forum ultra PC. I was just pointing out that you are saying one thing but doing another, being hypocritical. I think everyone admires beauty. Here, here! c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahaha Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 #1. American cars. Pure TRASH Their stock shares are JUNK as well. ford and GM should be burned to the ground and all their cars taken off the road. Any car manufacturer (GM/ford) who complains that adding a part that would save lives (which the Germans have had for YEARS) but would cost them too much money (.50 cents per vehicle) is unfathomable. All those redneck horsepower shows should be banned from TV and replaced with euro racing / euro tuner shows. Your car is JUNK and nothing you do to it can improve its performance to match or beat my STOCK Audi A6 2.7T. #2. Loud stereos. Save your money and buy a used German car. Make the road safer for all of us instead of putting $10,000 speakers into an explosive ford pinto. (pimp my ride) A used German car costs the same as a NEW American car. Wonder why?? Because of safety features and technology. #3. Telemarketers. They should all be hung by a telephone cord. #4. Junk mail charities. If you can't feed your damn kid, you should have been neutered.

GorunNova Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I suppose that you think Eve was torn from Adam's ribcage too, right? Oh, wait... or was it that man and woman were both formed from clay? Genesis uses both of those, simultaneously even though they're mutually exclusive... ^^ *sigh* ... that was uncalled for. I'm not going to make you seem like some sort of objectifying, fundamentalist nut just because you quote Jean-Paul II and throw God around once in a while. A real fundamentalist nut would actually quote verses, not popes, and use God way more often than you. ^^ The thing is, Theaveng, is that you seem to have a real knack for pissing people off. It's a very interesting talent, really... I pride myself in being laid back at core, and yet half your posts seem to make me want to attack you. It's disturbing, actually, and I've fallen for it more than once (for which I apologize). I think it's because you appear to have a rather sizable ego, and automatically seem to assume everyone you talk to is ignorant, and that you're always right. The smugness seems to just ooze out of your words, and THAT is what pisses people off. Also, more than once you have resorted to personal attacks when someone disagrees with what you are saying instead of simply giving reasons why you think that person is wrong. You've done that to me at least twice, as if I were attacking you personally rather than simply disagreeing with the accuracy of what you were saying. That always gets my back up, and sometime I lash back. *chuckles* On a side note, I do find it funny that you talked about your avatar as a 'beautiful creation of God' before, when it's a polygonal structure created by Man (and probably just two or three men), and inherently has no mind at all, being a polygontal, textured model (unlike people, which are arguably truly 'beautiful creations of God'). ... all of which leads to my grinding of gears thing, "people who automatically assume that their position trumps all others before the discussion begins, and lash out with personal attacks when their ideas are attacked."

There's no contradiction there, which you would know if you took time to read it. YOU obviously haven't read it, as there are TWO distinct creation stories, one where both man and woman are made, and one where man is made, and then woman is made from man's rib. "So God created man in his own image. / In the image of God he created him; / male and female he created them." So, I was wrong. Two creation stories, one where both man and woman were simultaneously created, and one where man was made out of dust, and the woman made from the man's rib. There is still the point that there's two different creation stories. (2) I never said I believe in a Christian God. Wrong assumption. Then what god were you talking about? Be more specific! :D Anyone who refers to God as 'God' has some Christian, Muslim, or Jewish connection with their theology, if only for terminology. I think every other religion either 1) has no actual gods, or 2) names gods by specific names. (4) What I object to is *personal* ad hominem attacks - "troy is a screwball" or "troy is a sexist" and so on. Why is it necessary to attack me personally? Can't we discuss the ideas w/o attacking the person? If someone says things that are interpreted as being sexist, then people will refer to the speaker as being sexist or seeming to be sexist.

Highways and straight stretches should really have higher speed limits. On the other hand, you have some very, very stupid drivers that would still cause accidents even if the speed limit were 35 mph, and thus would cause insane numbers of fatalities if everyone was moving at 85. The politicians are simply adjusting for human stupidity... which could be a bad thing if you want the idiots to kill each other off, or a good thing if you want to save the live of good people from being offed by idiot drivers.

wahaha Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Most interstates are designed for high-speed travel of 120 miles an hour (think movement of armies or emergency vehicles). I have a great deal of respect for states like Utah or Colorado that list 85 on their signs. I wish more of the eastern states would do the same. troy Anyone who drives an American car 120 miles per hour needs to be shot in the head. Even if it was legal. First, US interstates are not in ANY way comparable to the German Autobahn where cars are routinely driven at 155, and that's a LIMITED 155 (gentlemen's agreement). They could go as high as 210 after the limiter has been removed(Porsche). The Autobahn is designed for high speed driving and is built with such care that sections of road last over 15 years. Compare that with less than 3 years for any US road. Even with the best conditions you'd have a scary ride, and one poorly placed dip in the road will cost you your life. Second, US police cars and emergency vehicles can barely hit 120 as it is HAHAHA. And driving a ford crown vic that fast is just plain reckless considering they blow up like a pinto when hit from behind, and can't even take a 50 mph low speed crash without killing the occupants (lack of airbags and poor build quality). Just look at the video that was played so much of that Mercedes coming around the bend at over 100 mph, hit the guardrail, flipped on its roof, and landed in the ditch. The driver just got out and walked away. Try that in any US car and you wouldn't walk away. I think the speed limit is too high as it is. And this coming from someone who DRIVES a high speed German Audi, with a pleasingly high 170 on the speedo. Haste makes waste. 55 is the ideal speed and anything over that makes everyone else suffer at the gas pump. Until automakers get their moronic butts in gear and make efficient transmissions, that fact won't change. As it is, all the US car enthusiasts care about is how fast can I get to 60. Whereas in Germany it may take 10 seconds, but they waste less gas getting there, AND they have higher top speeds. It doesn't matter to me, I enjoy the ride, sitting in my luxurious car interior. I'm not in any hurry to leave it. My point is, the speeds as they are are high enough. And ONLY until the US can catch up to the performance level of the German automakers in car design and road construction, that speed is sufficient for now. Not to mention the idiot drivers on US roads who pass in the right lane, which is strictly forboden in Europe. Even breaking down due to neglegence or running out of gas on the freeway is illegal there. The only way we could safely have 120 mph speeds is if they built a dedicated road beside the current highway system, which will never happen. Even then I wouldn't trust any American driver. Oh, I've lived in Germany too, so I know what I'm talking about. And I don't trust any "engineer" who puts a goddamn manhole cover in the middle of the road. If you want to drive your American car at 120, then by all means do so.. IN Germany! And just see yourself being passed by the smallest of cars doing 130+, like a VW hehe. I rank the US right up there with China as having the worst drivers on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
