If i was gay, nobody would mind and if i were in an inter-racial relationship no-one would bat an eye (in my community that is) but i like fat women and everybody laughs and asks if i'm sick. What gives?
mb
I thought you were more interested in OLD women.
Honestly mb if you are going to be a flake I will not introduce you to my great-grandmother.
It gets better all the time. I'm old AND fat. I don't have to be black, do I? Oh, man, I want you so badly!!!!

Posted by: at August 24, 2006 9:57 AMWell, I have a bad back, and because of that I occasionally need to use a cane. Will that do?
Posted by: at August 25, 2006 2:57 PMYou people are OLD!
No wonder you were belly aching that too many young ones post here.
You kids getoffa my lawn!!
What was the name of those two old codgers on the muppet show?
Posted by: at August 25, 2006 3:15 PMHey my great grandmother can't compete with all of that.
I had such high hopes too of getting the old gal a new boyfriend.
Hey, all you impertinent whippersnappers: Not only can you get the hell off of my lawn, you can also sit back and contemplate what will happen to you as time goes by. Do you think you'll be young forever? Do you think that "slacker" will eventually become a job description? And how 'bout this one: I'll bet a lot of you are living with your OLD parents and letting them take care of feeding and clothing you, as well as providing you with computers and internet access so you can come here and make fun of them. Ungrateful little dickheads.
Posted by: at August 26, 2006 6:27 AMYou grow old
you die
What is there to be misereable about? It is going to happen to all of us, it is happening to you and you don't like it. THAT makes it very funny, as if you could stop it.
The only thing you can stop is the misery you feel over the fact of getting old.
Cheer up you old codger!!!
Excuse me, but when did I say that getting older is making me miserable? I'm perfectly happy to grow old gracefully. My issue is with smartass young'uns who think they rule the world; they don't. They think they know everything; they don't. They think they'll be young forever; fortunately, they will grow up and grow old and hopefully, they will gain some wisdom along the way. I wouldn't go back, no sir. I have a comfortable home, a really nice car, a good job that pays all the bills, and an amazing, loving family who all look up to me. I do what I want when I want because I can afford to and I don't need anyone's permission. I am happily married to my best friend, the love of my life, and it's a wonderful, nurturing relationship. And I have many young friends (who don't have smartass disease) who look up to me and come to me for advice. I think that my life is one to aspire to, not denigrate.
Now, get the hell outta my yard, young'un!!!!
Posted by: at August 27, 2006 7:23 AMhey bully for you!
I am glad that all is roses for you.
I do not want to grow up if being a grown up means towing the line for the crappy way I see things are being handeled at all levels of the government.
From municipal mismanagement of resources to federal(or central) governmental abuses of power be it here or elsewhere.
You see me upset? You think I can't figure out that no matter how hard I try the rate of pay coming my way is in no way going to even equal the possibility of having what you have in 20 years time?
You are not ready to give over are you? The service sector is the least supported politically, fiscally, or even morally (there are dick-heads abusing it and everybody knows that). So If I can do it I do'nt see my girlfriend being able to do it, or my little brother. At best I have to compete ruthlessly with some of my best friends to get ahead. I eat so they starve? What would make me human has to be supressed so I can be happy like you in 20 years?
Did you have to do what I see I will have to do just to get ahead if I aspire to what you have? And who is telling me that this is good? you? No you are not, you are asking me to leave you alone.
Just like the Ostridge, you don't want to see me, you do't want to think of what will happen if I try to even be like you or other successful status quo supporters like you the world over.
Why do you think more teenagers are going postal in modern society? Because of bad parenting? Maybe, it also could be that some of us figure it out that there is no way in hell for us to have the comfort we enjoyed in our parents house by ourselves even if we work like our grandparents did, or even their grandparents while we also read about the Enrons of the world, or hear how much some douchebag is paying for a 30 room mansion in some corner of the world with money that my whole town would dream about having just to fix the GD main road!!
Oh no, I will make fun of you. I will probably egg your house. I might get a few of my buddies and roll people like you downtown for any coin or jewellery you might have.
But I WILL NOT GO AWAY. It is too late for that anyway.
So you're making fun of older people because you're jealous? That's what it sounds like to me. But you are so right about the dim prospects for the future. I really do feel sorry for the younger people coming up these days, because your view of your future is right on. I think it's sad that the old adage "hard work pays off" is no longer true. And it is quite true that the generation just before me as well as my generation have made it that way. But it's not those particular generations as a whole that did the damage. It's the power- and money-hungry politicians and the people too lazy to get out and vote that have done it. Not to mention, there are many people in power who see no need to save the earth because "Jesus is coming back soon."
Take your distaste and hard feelings for older people and channel it into political action. Register to vote and encourage your friends to do the same---and then exercise that privilege to have a say in how your country, town, city, county, state---the world---is run. Don't pick on me because I have gained some success in life---it took me years to get where I am, and it can all come tumbling down due to the current administration's greed and disregard for anyone who doesn't have millions in the bank.
You'd better believe that a major reason teenagers are going postal is due, at least partially, to bad parenting. That's because children keep having children---teens as young as 13 or even younger think they're mature enough to be parents---and they're not. Parenting goes out the window when these teenage parents get old enough to go barhopping and screwing around. The result is that the children who haven't had any decent parenting do the same thing---have kids at very young ages and with no experience of having been parented. It's a vicious circle that just perpetuates itself.
You are so wrong---I am no ostrich (that's how you spell it, by the way). I don't have anything against young people. Did you not read my comment about my young friends who depend on me for advice? What I object to is young people who act as though growing up and getting older is some sort of character flaw to be ridiculed. All I can say is what my mother said to me, her mother said to her, and your mother says to you: "You'll understand when you grow up."
Posted by: at August 27, 2006 9:31 AMjust for the record, im a middle aged man with adult offspring. in an earlier entry i claimed i was a young lad but as what i was writing was in the name of humour you have to bend the truth. now we have a debate about who is best, old or young and as im middle aged [being at the peak of my life, im smarter, fitter, better looking(as in, no spots or wrinkles :~D ] .if feel that im better qualified to give an answer to the question,,,which one, old or young....and to be honest im not giving an answer.now get to bed, the pair of you.. ive a few things id like to do

[if it dont say mb it aint from me]
im with mblog ;~}

Posted by: at August 27, 2006 1:27 PMThis is not a debate about which time of life---teen, adult, middle age, elderly---is better, at least on my part. I'm simply pointing out that getting older is not a character flaw or deserving of ridicule, since we are all headed in that direction. Like you, mb, I am middle-aged with adult children (and grandchildren), and I wouldn't want to go back to being younger. Each stage of life has its ups and downs and is a unique experience. No matter what your age, you have things to look back on, and things to look forward to.
And damn! I can't remember the names of those elderly hecklers on the Muppet Show either! Ma-na-ma-na, dee dee dee-dee-dee...
Posted by: at August 27, 2006 1:45 PMAgism... I have never been acused of it.
I can talk to a two year old as well as a 90 year old, and see the perspectives of both about the topics we talk about... some of the topics are like this. Of course some of the 5 year olds and up can argue a pretty good streak, whereas the 90 year old has to bother to get into a discussion.
You see that is the irritating part, the older you get the likelihood of you getting into this rot of having to bother to form an opinion, or even get into a discussion you feel has been resolved, goes remarkably down.
I will put in my vote, are you going to put your vote with me along the same lines of issues or are you going to vote the way your father voted or vote along the lines to save your investments?
You see there is the rub about voting. We all see what happens with democracies in the free world. The 'graft' is a sad but true aspect of political democracies these days. The 'lobbies' are more and more involved in the manipulation of policies in the halls of power (they have always been I suppose, but now with more money and more people at stake...) to the extent that they are emboldened to be visible now.
While I am not happy about teen pregnancies, it is not the root causal factor here (in my view). We have had teenagers getting pregnant before this and historically it has been only a few decades since it has become fashionable to wait until you are in your 20's or later to get married and have kids. So it could cultural as you suggest (going out and getting laid and getting drunk etc.)
It was legally OK to get married for 12 year old Girls in the 1800's in the West (not middleEast mind you, West like in Canada or UK).
I am still looking for root causes, and now that I started talking/writing about it I realize that I really don't know them all... I dont' want to stop thinking about it though because I think we are onto something here.
Posted by: at August 28, 2006 3:47 AMWell now, it may be true that girls could get married at 12 back in the 1800's---but what was the average life expectancy then? "Until death do us part" was a much shorter period of time then.
I'm so glad not to be a teenager any more. I can't imagine looking ahead into the world's dim future while wrestling with that biological imperative to go forth and multiply. Yeah, young people should be pissed, because they've been robbed.
Perhaps I should change my statement about voting to specify "informed voting." I certainly would not vote as my father does just because that's how he votes; no one should do that. And I won't vote to protect my investments---what investments? At least there's this to look forward to---so much of the wealth is held by so few people that voters who vote to protect their investments shouldn't make that much difference. I wholeheartedly agree that dishonesty and greed have become the way of our political life, and it completely blows my mind that they are so open and in-your-face about it. I'm afraid that my country has become everything I was taught to despise when I was younger.
I believe that the media has become anything but fair and balanced. I'm really tired of evening newscasts beginning with the JonBenet story. Sure, her murder was a terrible thing...but the newscasters natter on and on about the arrest of a "suspect" who obviously didn't do it while we continue killing people---including six year olds---in Iraq. The lies and misinformation that the media regales us with are a big part of what's wrong.
Posted by: at August 28, 2006 12:00 PMWhat about the goddamn password?
Posted by: at August 28, 2006 3:53 PMwill you forget about the GD password?
Who cares if you can not read about kb posts or fake teen angst questions? I don't.
That the leaders and media have no credibility left with some of us who are part and parcel of the tax-payer-base is a problem too because those calmer heads have that much more of a hard time convincing the angry teenager that they are credible enough to be making those suggestions.
How does one stop descent into anarchy? It becomes a personal journey to be sure but hey I like my neigbour he is ok, I share a beer with him once in a while on the balcony and watch traffic go by. He may not have the same politics as me, but that beer and quite time is not about politics, is not about noise it's just about sitting or standing and sharing a contemplative moment. If the whole country goes up in anarchy I don't see that happening anymore.
So I suppose I have a vested interest, selfish to be sure to want to arrest the downward spiral into chaos of anarchy.
How do I do that?
