Reply to Why do men always cheat? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I don't have time now to give a more detailed explanation, but here a two reasons that to me seem quite logical: 1. As a male of the species, the men have the biological urge to mate with as many females as possible to ensure the survival of their genetic material - just as a female has the urge to mate with the best male available. We may not aknowledge this urge but it is preprogramed into our subconciusness and undeniable. A sight of a beau

SHopping for the baby in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Who knew shopping could be such a nice experience? Usually I hate going through the shops, looking at things and waiting for my wife to decide which of the three (usually more) almost identical objects has better 'value-for-money', looks better and can be considered of superior quality. But not this time. Looking at all this prams (there are many k

1. Why wait? 2. Yes it is. Lessens all kind of risk (picking up diseases for one) 3. If you don't want to start a long time relationship - no. 4. No, it doesn't. 5. Depends on how much confort you are going to get out of it. 6. If and when you decide it's going to be something serious. 7. Look around you and don't be too picky in the looks department.

Reply to JoeUser – it’s up to you. in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

As I am against censorship of any kind and like to read an interesting (and well-worded) article or comment, I give You my support in voicing Your opinions. On the other hand, I don't really know why You were blacklisted so I cannot say i disagree with the moderators. And I don't have time to find out. Maybe You could explain?

Reply to how to keep it 'just sex' in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I understand someone will probably flame me, but just try to think this way: - prostitution is illegal, brings the higher risk of diseases and other hazards - there are males and females who want 'just sex' So, what's wrong with sex-only relationships (if none of the partners is cheating his/her wife/husband)? I'm married and am not searching for such a relationship, but I know people who are and I say: good luck to them. And if

Reply to Flimflam Economy in Politics JoeUser Forums

I wouldn't say "laissez-faire capitalism does not meet the needs of a modern society" - as having incentives for certain industries is not laissez-faire. Otherwise, I agree with your conclusions.

Reply to Hypocrisy, Thy Name is Feminism in Current Events JoeUser Forums

These two points support the idea that women are inferior to men and need a seperate school to hide that fact. Well, no, it just show they are different. Like, You wouldn't put lambs and wolfs in the same cage if you want both to grow and develop. And youu cannot say lambs are "inferior". As an average,

Reply to Why don't men talk about sex? in Sex & Romance JoeUser Forums

Someone up there wrote that they can talk with their men about sex on the phone when they are away - well, it's been proved true on more than one occasion - "You either talk about it or do it" and guys like to do it.

Reply to Glorified Lawnmowers! in Misc JoeUser Forums

What type of self respecting female thinks more of a guy because of the car he drives anyway? Well, I think You got it wrong. The female mind works like this: "He has the money to have a nice car / a car done up nice / so he 'll have the money to spend on me" - it's probably subconcious, a

Reply to Michael Moore, Fahrenheit 9/11, & Iranian Citizens don't mix in Current Events JoeUser Forums

As a European, I must say quite a lot of Europeans have Moore's view of things and have had it for a long time (even more so regarding the 'Bowling For Columbine'). It seems living in the US clouds your judgement about US-related criticism. Probably true for every country. That's why I can also agree with this: <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Table

Reply to Neopets... Vitual Pets or Advertisement in Websites JoeUser Forums

Of course it's for making money. It's just a coincidence it's a nice sim-type game as well. Mostly they make money selling merchandise with neopets logo and pictures of your neopet, but obviously they are expanding the business into other types of income-generating activities. Probably they are also selling data on the side to some psychology or sociology institute that performs a large-scale behaviour studies. There ain't no such thing as a

Reply to Errors in logic in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

We have logic classes in most high schools but it doesn't help much. Also, there's another problem in forum discussions I find is a sign there'll be no smart conclusions reached - when people focus on one detail of the argument you made and not the whole thing. Like when You say: "A is B because C is D" - they say "Well, I don't like things that are called A and think they are not worth mentioning."

Errors in logic in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Reading the forums I've come to the conclusion most people haven't studied logics in high school. The logical errors in argumentation are abundant and are the reason most discussions end in a petty bickering. Maybe reading this Link or this <a href="http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/logic/log

Reply to Emotionally cheating or physically cheating? in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Is it cheating or not depends on how You look on the relationship. If Your relationship is purely emotional, You mightn't consider sex with another person cheating but if Your relationship is purely physichal (what Texas Whine calls 'dating'), you may ignore your partner having telephone sex, writing love letters or having an Internet affair. Most people have 'mixed' relationships so any kind of personal space sharing (physical or not) would

Well, life is too short for Terms of Service. But I did read them. And the owner can certainly boot anyone (s)he wants. The point is moot. I should have said 'there are no PRECISE rules'. And I'm not saying there should be - read my post.

Reply to Bloggers making "poor choices" in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Back to the original topic. Not that I'm defending anybody, but as there are no rules for what is and what isn't allowed on the site, You can't really blame people who 'cross the line'. We are all different and eeach of us has different standards in comunication. What's for one of us a joke for another one may be an insult. And vice-versa. As an example, if You know some Englishmen (preferably over 35 yrs old), You know they have a very stran

Reply to Professional soldiers = career criminals? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Well, thanks to everybody for comments. As for my statements, I still will stay by them and I cannot say anybody has fronted any arguments to persuade me otherwise. War is not "natural" as killing is not "natural" - we are not born with fangs or claws. We are born with big brains and we should use them. War is a crime. Maybe a crime done by countries as well, but also done by everybody involved. And that makes soldier criminals. People who de

Professional soldiers = career criminals? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I know this could provoke hard feelings from people who work in the army or have family members there, but I'm putting it completely theoretical. Let's see... To be opposed to unlawful behaviour is OK, because breaking of laws is anti-social behaviour and bad for all of us. We have police to stop that kind of behaviour. And to be a police officer is a honou

Reply to 11 Don't-Tell-the-Wife Secrets All Men Keep in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

As a man, I feel obliged to comment on the "secrets". I'll try to be brief ands tell you something that you (women in general) maybe don't know.... or I'm imagining you don't. Comments: 1 - Probably depends on the age, but lust is something that is (it seems) more common in men. Although I would add - "even if we do cheat on you, it doesn't mean we want to leave you." However cheap that sounds 2 - Probably depends on a relationship - i

I can agree with that - and I also like turn based games. Saving anywhere could make the game much easier but it's much better than a save point every hour or so.

Reply to Game design and woman player in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Nice system (didn't play NetHack), but that way the player would still have to play quite a long time to get to the state he was in (abilities, equpiment etc.) when he died. And this is what I'm arguing against.

Game design and woman player in Gaming JoeUser Forums

A white paper about woman in gaming industry (caution, 1,8 Mb PDF) Link says (among other things) that women enjoy games in a specific way. **What a surprise! They enjoy most of the things in a different way than men - but that's another subject.** Specifically, it says that the situ
