This seems like a good time to mention my pet peeve...
Excessive use of quoting other posts, which makes the board less readable. Especially people who write the second post in the thread and quote the first one. It's pretty clear what you're commenting on, no need to quote it. Also, people that quote extremely long posts when only a small part of it is relevant. You could delete the other parts and make things easier on everyone.
Is there something im missing?
Sports talk radio is terrible. Barstool sports being successful makes no sense. Everyone hates Boston sports bros, so why the heck are we trying to export the worst of their qualities to the world.
Wait, is that not the right kind of grievances to air?
There’s a lot you miss
Glow, just got off the course so of course you beat me to it, but my immediate thought was of Festivus (which was, contrary to the above poster, funny).
Jock, it would be well worth your while to explore the Ignore function. It has improved my life significantly.
Maybe you’re right.
I only have the brain surgeon on ignore - maybe I need to increase the list.
we need a "thumbs up" emoji

fwiw-i don't have anyone on the big IG-i'm tolerant to all opinions, viewpoints, lifestyles, races, creeds, ethnicities, hobbies, professions, free speech, free swim, free stuff, nose hairs, ear hair comb-overs, high brow, low brow, lowenbrau, no brow, lashes-not caning or cocaining, snowboarders, surfboarders, message boarders, skate boarders, bobsledders, luges, hockin loogies, breakin wind and #1 down wind, but what the hey-mean people suck

dude, my wife is bald right now just finishing chemo #6 of 12...i am obviously her biggest fan, best friend and husband of 35 years as of last week. shaving my head was not going to make her feel any better. even though i am naturally getting close to being kinda challenged on top of the melon. does shaving one's head in solidarity with another help the other OR is it a "feel good" move, directing attention to oneself? i think the later and that is one of the reasons i was not a big fan of MY employee using her "cause" to create a potential distraction in OUR workplace
but just to be clear, i would have gladly provided her with a wig
and she could do whatever she wanted to do on her free time
but as many businesses have a few codes of conduct, uniform, and dress codes-i just did not want her "selfless" and "noble
statement" to distract from our focus on our patients
i did not want to hear her or any of us have to explain all day long, to every patient, why my assistant is bald. oh, you must be
such a thoughtful, caring and...blah blah blah... i did NOT prevent her from shaving her head
but as i stated above, i would have provided her with a wig just as i would have provided a
shirt for someone who wanted to go topless for their friends battle with whatever.

thanks my man!!
i don't know who caine's employer is or what he does, but if one is fortunate enough to run a business for over 33 years(60 is i
count my the anniversary of when my dad started the practice) we sure in the h3ll didn't do it by allowing our employees to use
it as their own little social feel good aquarium. we've had a number of employees work for us in excess of 30-50(yes they stayed
on and retired under me) years, all working toward the same goal-success of the practice. so go they, go the business and it
sure would not have gone anywhere with me succumbing to all of their own little personal social"crusades". i don't give a chit
what they do after they punch out as long as it is lawful and does not put the business in a bad light. i do not think this is
extreme.
i'm all ears on how you run your business caine-letting everyone make up their own rules because it makes them feel good? or does your business have rules and GASP!! guidelines to follow?
zero is a number. "o" is a letter.
if your phone number has a zero in it.......it is a zero....not an "oh".

Admittedly, I am intolerant of things, many are not now days. the problem is, if I state them publicly, I'm looked down upon by society, because apparently, THEIR viewpoints/opinions/thoughts are the only one's that matter. That's another grievance of mine, we should be able to say what we feel/think now days without being ridiculed/ostracized for thinking that way. Ain't the same world i grew up in, that's for sure.
Seems like pretty much everyone is offended by something now days...It's part of the "snowflake" society we have built. Don't like someone saying something about you?? Grow a pair.

Hey ... thread is still open.
Furthermore, the first beer I had after the round called itself a hazy IPA but it was much more bitter than most hazies I've had. I have a grievance with the brewmaster for not using Mosaic hops.
I feel so much better having aired those grievances. Thanks, Jake, for starting this thread.
Except, apparently for receptionists who wish to shave their heads in support of a friend with cancer.
Canada sucks
Eight six seven five three (zero) ni-ine....
So, hypocrisy is worse than intolerance?
zero is a number. "o" is a letter.
if your phone number has a zero in it.......it is a zero....not an "oh".
that is all.
The age old argument as to whether zero is a real or natural number.
I’m with you on hazies. There’s recently been a big push to go away from a Mosaic, Citra and Amarillo hops to make a more dank hazy or bitter. More adding of terpenes too. Some IPA purists consider the juice bomb hazies as a beer for entry level IPA drinkers. On the flip side, some brewers try too hard and make undrinkable hazies; overdoing it with Citras, adding fruit concentrate that doesn’t mesh with the hops mixture. They’ve become too inconsistent.
Black and white are not colors
Define intolerance and tolerance, then I will answer
Nor are they racesYet, somehow Mexican has become one.
My grievance is that IPAs have grown to dominate the craft beer scene. I don't care for bitter flavors and do not understand the quest to make beer as bitter as possible.
I can only think of two IPAs that I could tolerate but I wouldn't buy them on my own.
I would much rather have beer featuring the malt or yeast, not the hops. But I have to search through a sea of IPAs to find them.
Major grievance/irritation of mine..why in the hell did Tombstone pizza, change something that was so perfect, to this new "full on flavor" thing they have going on now?? So irritating when companies think they need to "improve" on perfection. Leave well enough alone. For someone who is a frozen pizza connoisseur, the fact that they changed what was perfect to something that totally changes the way it tastes and makes me change to a different brand, irritates the crap out of me.
Saying you eat Tombstone pizzas and consider yourself a "frozen pizza connoisseur" is an oxymoron.Disagree. I'm a Tombstone fan. I rarely eat frozen pizza, but when I do.... I eat Tombstone.

Tombstone was sold to Kraft, which changed the recipe. Kraft later sold their frozen pizza division to Nestle.
The founder of Tombstone started a new line of frozen pizza after the noncompete clause expired. Pep's Pizza, now owned by Hansen Foods, is based on the original Tombstone recipe.

Detroit style pizza is very underrated.
Detroit style pizza is very underrated.
So is St. Louis style, surprisingly.
I may hit an IPA mid session as a palate cleanser. Personally, I am not that much of a fan.
The whole thing started in the PNW which is where the world's best hops are grown. Brewers in Portland and Seattle dumped bushels of hops in the vat. In my opinion they have gone overboard.
The ambers, reds, and browns are far more complex and finish so much more elegantly.
The only thing they were interested in achieving was a better margin.
New and Improved is code for cost reduction.
EwI get it. It's unique but I like it. Chicago is still the best to me, but St. Louis ain't bad and the T-Ravs are awesome.
There are many IPA’s in the PNW that are not overly biter. Try Seapine
Disagree. I'm a Tombstone fan. I rarely eat frozen pizza, but when I do.... I eat Tombstone.
Yet, somehow Mexican has become one.
Home Run, Screaming Sicilian, so many better options than Tombstone.
Had perhaps the best beer I've ever had on my trip to the PNW last month: Silver Moon's Hazibliss.
A hazy IPA made with Mosaic hops (and others) and infused with CBD. Smooth, delicious and a little dangerous.
St louis "pizza" tastes like ass.I hope that means you hate it ;D
Home Run, Screaming Sicilian, so many better options than Tombstone.I'll give them a try. Thanks for the recommendations.
Just to be clear, if you forced an employee to wear a wig, or fired them you wouldn't have a practice anymore.
no worries cain, i've been doing this for a while. how many years have you and biass run a business? thought so :-*
thanks jesmu for the kind words
as i think i stated earlier-i have had employees for upwards of 40-50 years-they were originally hired by my father and continued on with me beyond his retirement. i have only had to fire 3 people over my entire career and i do not hope to have to do it even once more.
some of you guys will just never get it-that's why you never have nor ever will own your own business

Rocket, you told a female employee that she couldn't have a hairstyle that (I assume) you would allow a male employee to have. That is a textbook act of discrimination. It's not an egregious one. It doesn't make you a bad person. But it's okay to own it.

Come on man...I never told her outright that she couldn’t shave her head. She told me she was thinking about it in a way more to get a reaction out of me than anything. For the record, I never said to her, listen tootsie, if you shave your head, I’m going to sh!tcan you. Unfortunately, I don’t have any males in my office so ya’ll can scratch misogynist off your list.
But here’s one of the (too) many and last interactions I had to endure from her-
She calls me on Easter Sunday night asking me if she was supposed to come into work Monday. I’m like, umm, yeah, we were expecting you. Then she starts ranting about working too many( 30-35) hours per week. So I told her, no problem, you can have Monday off...oh, and you deserve Tuesday off as well, hmm, might as well go for 3 in a row and take Wednesday off too, ahh hell, make it a bakers dozen...long story short, I relieved her of her hours, NOT because she said she was thinking about shaving her head, which came up weeks before this incident, but because she was an airhead. Any of you guys want to hire her, pm me and I’ll give you her name(for those of you in rio Linda, that was a joke). Also, have at it with the above dialogue which was embellished a little, but she became only the 3rd and hopefully the last person I will ever have to fire. She was assistant #3 in my attempts to fill a position vacated by my original assistant of 31 years at the time...fwiw, no I didn’t fire her due to old age or bad breath or being short or...she retired at the age of 75
It was a passing event. I understand where you are coming from tamu with your HR thing, but you just re-“woke” the panty wastes to reignite their faux virtue signaling ok have at it this ought to be juicy though
Oh, and in before the lock 🤷🏼♂️🤯

Yes, I absolutely convinced that there is nooooo way that you could ever be considered as a misogynist--by anyone. Having only female employees is certainly evidence proving this point. ::)

The Racist speaks
If you say the Searchers is racist, I'm on board. If you say mutaman's defense of the movie is racist, I'm with you. I'm hesitant to label him a racist for it. I don't believe we should be defined solely by our worst actions.

"It is perhaps worth noting that Cuomo’s father, the late Mario Cuomo, was an ardent critic of The Godfather books and films, boycotting them for decades because he thought they depicted negative stereotypes of Italian Americans. After he finally saw The Godfather, in 2013, he begrudgingly told the New York Times, “Maybe this thing was a masterpiece.”

Blazing Saddles

I'm not the one making his sexism more obvious by trying to obfuscate it, and I'm not the one firing a woman for asking about her work schedule during a holiday week. I'm also not the one that would try to justify that as being the Christian thing to do immediately after the memorial of his resurrection.
But hey, keep trying to deflect your actions on to someone else, you're doing a bang up job so far.

All righty, UC. You and I are cool. But ya still gotta be accurate, even in this thread.
I have not been airing grievances in the MLB thread or others for quite some time. Indeed, I have given myself the "couple weeks of a break" that you said some of us needed. I'm trying to be a good boy!
I don't know what ass tastes like,
Gotta give it a try.
Mel Brooks consulted with Richard Pryor about the racial stuff in Blazing Saddles because Mel was a little uncomfortable. Pryor is reputed to have said that as long as the racists were morons, it could still be funny. Bit that was Richard Pryor in the early 70s.
Blazing Saddles
#stirthepot
I saw Blazing Saddles when I was a kid and hadn't seen it again. People talked about it so much that I finally sat down and watched it again a couple of years ago.
I was surprised -- no, actually, stunned -- at how unfunny I found it. I think I might have chuckled once or twice.
Compared to Young Frankenstein -- a true Mel Brooks masterpiece, one of the great comedies ever -- and The Producers, Saddles is some mediocre movie-making IMHO.

They all seem to want to out blast each other.
Normally not a good result comes from people slamming others as racist, bigots, liars, malpracticing journalists, among other insults of late.

Huh? I said weeks ago that I would stop interacting with this site's biggest agitator, and I have. I said I would stop contributing to threads getting bogged down with personal vendettas, and I have.
I'm not looking for a gold star or a pat on the back, but I'd rather not get lumped in with some of the others you named. Because I'm not doing it ... not any more than you are, anyway.
Honest question Keefe. IIRC (and I sincerely apologize if I have you mixed up with another poster), you and I were part of conversation awhile back about whether or not Georgetown should change the name of academic buildings because their namesakes had orchestrated a slave auction that benefited the university. If I remember your argument correctly, you said that we shouldn't judge the namesakes for their role in the slave auction because in the context of the time, their actions were morally acceptable. Now we know better but the namesakes themselves couldn't have known because of the times they were raised in.
I'm curious why you took that position in that argument but are taking the stand the Searchers is a racist movie. In this case, I haven't seen the movie, but I trust what you say as most westerns from that era were notoriously horrendous in their depiction of native americans, and I agree with your position. But I'm curious why you are comfortable giving the Georgetown namesakes a pass due to the times that they lived in but not the Searchers a pass for the times that it was created in. I'm also curious what your opinion on our former mascot is. Is there a difference that you see that I am not seeing?
Also, I don't know mutaman personally, but I doubt he's a racist. I haven't been breathing for that long, but I've only met a handful of bonafide racists in my lifetime. But every single person I have met has done, said, or thought racist things, at multiple points in their life. If you say the Searchers is racist, I'm on board. If you say mutaman's defense of the movie is racist, I'm with you. I'm hesitant to label him a racist for it. I don't believe we should be defined solely by our worst actions.
I may hit an IPA mid session as a palate cleanser. Personally, I am not that much of a fan.
The whole thing started in the PNW which is where the world's best hops are grown. Brewers in Portland and Seattle dumped bushels of hops in the vat. In my opinion they have gone overboard.
The ambers, reds, and browns are far more complex and finish so much more elegantly.
?-( The "whole thing" started centuries ago when the English shipped beer to the troops in India.
Maybe this is a bit precise, but the American IPA is thought of as a distinct style which was founded through the craft beer boom. I won’t wade into the city of origin debates but the style is distinct and real.

I never said that the actions of slave auctioneers in any time or place was or is morally acceptable. Ethics or morality is never relative.
I am against the whitewashing of history. Do we scrub Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, et al from the story of the United States? They were slave owners, among about a dozen US Presidents, hundreds of senators, and countless others who contributed to the building of what is the world's greatest society.
Pulling down statues and erasing names from the national narrative is intellectual cowardice. Celebrate the good but acknowledge the moral incorrectness of slavery. Learn from the sins of the past. Without the names listed above there is no American story.
As for mutaman, he insists on championing a poorly written story which furthers some of the most vile depictions of Native Americans ever put forth as "art." As many Scoopers know, I have been involved in working with Native communities to bring technology solutions to improve the standard of living in Indian Country. I know tribal leaders and they have an absolute revulsion for the portrayal of Natives in popular culture. And they find The Searchers to be particularly reprehensible.
Here we have a white guy in NYC who has never been to Indian Country, when told that Natives find The Searchers to be deeply offensive, goes on to cite other white guys as proof that the movie is high art.
The question is not the artistic merit but the cultural sensitivity. The fact that mutaman doesn't get that underscores his complete lack of awareness of how minorities feel about how they are cast in the public consciousness.
Is he a racist? While he might not think he is the fact that he openly champions a piece of fiction as having significant artistic merit suggests he is crudely unaware of the feelings of an entire people.
I notice he cites my listing of Triumph of the Will as significant cinema as my somehow being a Nazi. And here he misses the point entirely. Riefenstahl's work is a masterpiece of propaganda and illustrates how powerful cinema can be used as a tool for advancing a flawed belief system.
The difference between Triumph of the Will and The Searchers is that the former demonstrates the power of the new medium while the latter showcases how film could perpetuate ugly stereotypes which demean an entire race.
The fact that mutaman cannot grasp that makes him either stupidly naive or an advocate of what was the systematic destruction of a race. Stripping a people of their dignity, which is what Hollywood film did for decades in their portrayals of Natives, Asians, and blacks, is institutionalized racism.
I notice he cites my listing of Triumph of the Will as significant cinema as my somehow being a Nazi.

Tombstone was sold to Kraft, which changed the recipe. Kraft later sold their frozen pizza division to Nestle.
The founder of Tombstone started a new line of frozen pizza after the noncompete clause expired. Pep's Pizza, now owned by Hansen Foods, is based on the original Tombstone recipe.

i understand eagle, but what i was alluding to was that it takes a miscreant to think like a miscreant. i can just imagine what other sick things mutation has floating around in his gray matter. i've been working 33 years without incident. if one were to add up all the patient interaction hours, employee interaction hours...nothing. that is A LOT of interaction for something to go wrong...nothing.Put it on the marquee:

For the record, the Jacks brand was destroyed by them as well.
Hopefully "Frozen Pizza Historian" is low on my list of lifetime accomplishments.
Don't suppose you know some other company that took over the recipe for the old Palermo's Ultra-Thin Greek Pizza, do you? It had a white sauce, kalamata olives, feta cheese, it was awesome.
You shouldn’t bother with either. The 24 hour news networks are garbage. All of them.CNN and MSNBC are not news, they are entertainment. The 24 hour "news" networks gave up on news a decade ago. They are no different than ESPN or the Disney Channel.
Speaking of good pizzas, I'm not a huge fan of New York style pizza but Grimaldi's is outstanding. The fact that we have a Grimaldi's in The Corners of Brookfield and are getting a Lou Mal's in the Fox Point area is a dream come true. With a Lou Mal's and a Portillo's now in the Milwaukee area there's no need to ever go to Chicago again.There is not a single grievance in this post. Fail.

I saw Blazing Saddles when I was a kid and hadn't seen it again. People talked about it so much that I finally sat down and watched it again a couple of years ago.
I was surprised -- no, actually, stunned -- at how unfunny I found it. I think I might have chuckled once or twice.
Compared to Young Frankenstein -- a true Mel Brooks masterpiece, one of the great comedies ever -- and The Producers, Saddles is some mediocre movie-making IMHO.

Frankly, nothing by Mel Brooks was very funny. They were contrived, predictable, and tepid.
Brooks had some moments but generally speaking his movies lacked wit, insight, or depth.

Appreciate the response Crash. I think we are closer together on the topic than I remembered. I also abhor whitewashing history. I was lucky enough to have teachers in high school and professors in college who insisted that we learned history and literature not through the eyes of the victors/oppressors but through the eyes of the conquered and oppressed.
I agree that trying to erase history is cowardice. I also think that hiding history is cowardice. I'm fine keeping the statues up and names on the wall.....as long as there is an actual acknowledgement of the sins of the past included.
Straight out of the Mike Pence playbook.
"What we have to walk away from is the desire to erase parts of our history just in the name of some contemporary political cause."

“Some contemporary political cause”? You mean, not celebrating the people who waged war on the United States of America in order to maintain slavery?"

Don't think he was referring to confederate stuff. Guessing it's more about the founding fathers who were slave owners.
No. This is all about "the confederate stuff" . Making this about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson was just a really bad analogy that Keefe made that he pulled out of National Review. Washington and Jefferson did not fight in a war against the United States.

what do you consider "tatted up?"
Visible, larger tattoos(plural) anywhere on the body...particularly the arms...small one's not visible like on an ankle or a foot etc=Not tatted up and I for one don't mind that. Even a small one on the wrist I don't mind.

This thread has become pet peeves, which I don't believe was the OP's intention. But that's cool. Pet peeves are fun.I made a drinking game out of the word "so" during the last democratic debate. Lizbeth Warren started almost every sentence that way. I was hammered.
Agree with CTWarrior about "it is what it is." Coaches say it all the time. I used to turn to my friends and say, "I'll give a coach $100 if just one time he says, "It is what it isn't.'"
My biggest pet peeve the last couple of years is the incessant use of "right?" by those talking, often in the middle of sentences. People on TV do it all the time, but it's filtered down to "regular folks," too. Most recently, we had a school-wide coaches meeting and one of the guest speakers did it constantly. Drove me nuts.
It goes something like this:
"The bridge was closed right? so I had to walk around. Got to the end of the road right? and so the cop there stopped me and said I had to go back. Now I'm getting pissed right? and it's hard for me to contain my temper. But I'm a teacher right? and I can't afford to act out in public."
That isn't even a really extreme example. Happens all the time. Aaaagh!
The other fairly recent speech-pattern tick is starting sentences with the word "so."
Person 1: "Are you going to the movies tonight?"
Person 2: "So, I was going to, but something came up."
Person 1: "What came up?"
Person 2: "So, I was talking with one of my friends right? and she needed my help."
gotcha. My wife has three so I wanted to know your definition. One on her back, one on her trap and one on her outer forearm (reading "Cura Personalis").
I don't get full tattoo sleeves but to each their own. The one I will never understand is the neck, especially the throat. That has to hurt like hell and there's no covering that one up!

When the a$$hole I work with always brings up politics and tries to have a “nice conversation” knowing damn well we will never see eye to eye and just wants to start an argument
Similarly: constant repetition of the word "like" -- often in place of "said". Other times as some sort of strange modifier. And sometimes it's just instead of a good old-fashioned, "ummmm."
My kids drive me crazy with this. And then I drive them crazy. When it's particularly bad, I'll hold my hands up and count on my fingers each time they say it. They get the picture pretty quickly when I easily hit double digits within a minute. "And so, I...like...saw John, and I was like 'where were you yesterday?' and he was like, 'I wanted to go, but I was...like...really tired...like totally exhausted!.' And so I was like, 'I...like...totally get it. It's...like...ridiculous how much homework we had last light. Like, really crazy!' and he was like, 'I know, right?'"
I catch myself doing it from time to time. I really don't like that. ;)
Definitely agree, but that's been going on for a long time. I had friends who said "like" constantly when I was in grade school and high school.
How about using "goes" instead of "said" or "says." And the funny thing is, the person often says it twice, like this:
"I was talkin' to my girlfriend, and, like, she goes she goes, 'Are you an idiot?' And I go I go, 'I'm not the idiot, you're the idiot.' So, like, she goes she goes, 'Take it back, you idiot.' Well, like, um, she's not my girlfriend any more, right? My mom asks if I'm upset, so I go I go, 'Like no, not really.'"

You also don't see women wearing dresses very often either anymore...sure, they still do, again if it's a special occasion or they need to "dress up" for something, but rarely I'd say do they ever go in their closet and pick out a dress to wear for the day "just because". Nor do many put on make up when they leave the house no matter where they are going or how long they will be gone. It used to be commonplace for both. Sad.

Which is exactly the best reason not to get a tattoo.I didn't say it, guru did, FWIW
Also, I think you are wrong that fewer women are wearing makeup. Eyeshadow, especially in the daytime, is out of style right now, which is what you might be noticing. Neutral lipstick and blush colors are also more popular now. What you might assume is "no makeup" might be simply more natural-looking makeup.

It's a real shame women these days seem so unconcerned about making your wieiner happy.
I don't think I am wrong...No kidding
Oh, for the good old days when your woman would have supper waiting on the table for you when you walked through the front door, and went to bed with her hair in curlers and her face covered in cold cream.
I don't think I am wrong...look at how many women now days are self proclaimed tomboys, but can be "girly" when they need to be. I talk to plenty of women that say they don't wear make up because they "don't have time for that". Really??
Actually, she doesn't need to make my supper...I'm way too picky of an eater anyway and she'd just get frustrated. But I do appreciate a lady that isn't all tatted up, wears make up whenever she leaves the house, for any reason, and one that likes an old fashioned man and believes in the traditional gender roles and acts as such. THAT part is the biggest problem now days.
Has absolutely ZERO to do with that. But thanks anyway. Just old fashioned and believe in traditional gender roles.
Let me guess. You’re single.
Please tell me you don’t have children.
An extreme rarity of me replying to doc.
It's a cultural thing. The middle finger is not the middle finger in all cultures. I knew people from Europe (certain countries) and Israel who always pointed with the middle finger. I always had to think about it for a split second.

Here's what I'm reading into your statements. Either by "these days" you're chatting up women who are your age and not realizing all the good ones are taken and you've failed to stay true to your generations evolution of single life. OR by "these days" you mean younger women that you're hitting on which is extremely creepy OR you're upset because said younger women aren't eye candy for you which is makes you the worst type of guy and extremely creepy.
If someone can find a route where he comes out looking normal in these statements please tell me.
Since we are kind of on this topic(or at least I am)...honestly this is a HUGE HUGE pet peeve of mine..but the amount of women I have met through the years that INSIST on calling their undergarments underwear instead of the appropriate term of "panties", is striking to me. For some reason they feel offended by that word, and feel it's abhorrent. Have never understood that.

Thanks for making assumptions, and actually, the younger one's are the one's that do seem to fit the "more girly" type these days. That's where the problem lies....women my age are VERY rarely "truly" girly now days, at least the one's I have met. Hence why I'm still single.

I have several tattoos. Each one has a very personal, special meaning to me. I waited til later in life to get them (otherwise I’d likely be walking around with a skateboard tattooed to my calf). I have a job where I wear a suit everyday during the week. I can cover them with clothing when it could potentially put people off (picking a jury for example) or wear a short sleeve shirt otherwise. I have never once regretted getting any of them. In fact, they are somewhat addicting.
...look at how many women now days are self proclaimed tomboys...

Actually, Guru, I get where you’re coming from. In my experience I can agree that the younger ones seem more “girly” then maybe females your age.
I know a few guys who share your same preferences. I chose to get hitched to an Asian woman. I felt their traditions more so align with my preferences over the years of dating multiple females.
Best of luck Guru!!
I'm trying to remember the last time I heard a woman proclaim herself a "tomboy." It's been a while, and it's certainly not frequent.

So God is capitalized when you are referring to the Christian God. It’s his/her name.Pretty much.
Christmas is capitalized because it’s a proper name. It has nothing to do with respect.

And while you long for a woman who wants to be treated like a lady, I find that most want to be treated like an equal first.
Yeah but if someone is an atheist or agnostic do they owe such respect when saying "Oh my God". For the record I agree with you regarding Christmas but that phrase relates to their personal beliefs so what else does it reveal other than their religious beliefs?
No need for that. Let grievances air. Let opinions be known. Don't take this thread there.
So God is capitalized when you are referring to the Christian God. It’s his/her name.
Christmas is capitalized because it’s a proper name. It has nothing to do with respect.

with all due respect eagle, i still think, regardless of belief in or not, the word or mention of God should be capitalized. but that's just my prejudice and belief system.
Are you for real? I’m sure you’re a clean shaven,striking lad who wears a shirt, tie and a pair of slacks everyday. Maybe even a nice sweater when there’s a chill in the air.
Actually, she doesn't need to make my supper...I'm way too picky of an eater anyway and she'd just get frustrated. But I do appreciate a lady that isn't all tatted up, wears make up whenever she leaves the house, for any reason, and one that likes an old fashioned man and believes in the traditional gender roles and acts as such. THAT part is the biggest problem now days.
But your confused by the term god. It's not a singular thing. God has stood for many things, long before your religion came about. There have been many god's. So if we are talking about the god you believe in, Yahweh, then yes God would be capitalized.
However not everyone is Christian or Jewish and therefore do not refer to all god's as God.
Wow. I thought you were tiresome in the basketball threads. Who knew?

You what I miss? The days when no self-respecting man would allow his wife to work.
He worked his tail off to provide for his family, and if that didn't pay the bills, he manned up and took a second job. Sure, his wife was usually busy with a crap ton of kids in the early years, but once they were school age, or better yet, out of the house, she got to sit around and play bridge with her friends or watch soap operas.
Unfortunately, it's a rare thing to find a real male these days.
+1000...this is EXACTLY how I feel...I WANT to take care of my wife/significant other in EVERY way. If she wanted to work, that's fine, but in a perfect world, I'd prefer to take care of her financially, emotionally and any way that I can. To me, that's a man's job. I NEED to feel useful to her...fixing things around the house etc. Most women would say they want their man to do that, and may be they do...but for me(and me personally), if she actually knows how to do those things herself or COULD do them herself but just didn't really want to since I could instead, that takes a lot of the "knight in shining armor" feel of it away for me.
My ex wife for example had no idea how to start the lawn mower or the snow blower...that was totally fine with me. I didn't want her to know how to, those things are my job, to me that's all part of taking care of someone.

Checkin' won's oil is a basic skill every woman should no, aina?not hard. just need to push the dipstick in and out.
Maybe she forgot makeup before heading to the grocery store and he divorced her?
Far from perfect...but, the basic jist of it is she was/is from Canada, and her homesickness just got the best of her. She really struggled with it.

Here's what I'm reading into your statements. Either by "these days" you're chatting up women who are your age and not realizing all the good ones are taken and you've failed to stay true to your generations evolution of single life. OR by "these days" you mean younger women that you're hitting on which is extremely creepy OR you're upset because said younger women aren't eye candy for you which is makes you the worst type of guy and extremely creepy.
If someone can find a route where he comes out looking normal in these statements please tell me.
Far from perfect...but, the basic jist of it is she was/is from Canada, and her homesickness just got the best of her. She really struggled with it.
Does that include cooking, cleaning, laundry?
Or did/does your "care" also have boundaries by traditional gender role?
No mocking here. Genuinely interested
Some men lament the intake being too close to the exhaust.
But that’s a beef with the Designer...er, designer.
Hmmm...sounds suspiciously like, “it’s not you; it’s me.” She sounds very kind.
Cheeks, the point of the ignore button is to ignore the person. Sniping at them when someone else happens to quote them kind of defeats the purpose. For the love of all that is good, ignore the people you should be ignoring on here. You know who they are. And, thankfully, some of them know who you are and are ignoring you. It'll do you good. It'll do all of us good.
And instead of bi*tching about their posts, report them to the moderators.
You work with Chicos?
For the record, I have no issue with the word "panties".
Stillwarrior, isn’t the bigger question why politics are allowed? I thought it wasn’t...or is it? Which is it? What’s the policy? I’m fine following the rules, but what are the rules?
Nice effort by that Northern Dancer colt (several generations removed) winning the Travers.
If I ask someone are you more "girly" or more tomboy. I overwhelming get more "tomboy" responses than "girly" responses. And of course everyone's definition of "girly" is different. Then I have met some who say they are far more "girly". Except when I start to spend time with them, and observe their mannerisms etc, and they are certainly not "girly" by my definition anyway. Sometimes yes, they are, but not all the time.
No, that’s not the bigger question. It’s pretty clear that politics is allowed, even though they’re not.
I think the bigger question is why you’re incapable of simply ignoring people who love nothing more than yanking your chain. Even when you have them on ignore, apparently.
I'm glad you brought this up Galway, because this is a major grievance of mine...Believe me, I am not singling you out at all, but it does demonstrate how far we still need to go as a society, and quite frankly how hypocritical we still are. The times we live in now, we are told we should love and accept all...men with men, women with women, Transgender etc. They are all people, and as long as it doesn't affect us, what difference does it make. Yet, your point about an older man with a younger woman as you call it "creepy". You are far from the only one that feels that way...I would ask why?? If two people are happy together, why should you, me or anyone judge?? If a man is 45 and he is with a 21 yr old girl, most in society these days would say just what you did "it's creepy". But aren't we told, love is love?? If they are happy together, shouldn't that be all that matters?? How is that any different then a man with a man, or a woman with a woman etc?? It shouldn't be. It's hypocritical for us a society to be so accepting of some things that were at least at one time not a society norm, but still very judgmental of other things that for whatever reason still doesn't seem to be accepted as a societal norm like the other things are.
Where we all get really hypocritical is if that woman was 31 and the man was 55(still the same 24 year age difference), then most people would seem to accept that. Seems very bizarre to me. Would we feel the same way if a woman was 55 with a 21 year old kid?? I'm not sure we would.
It seems to me that people think couples with large age gaps can't possibly love each other. That there has to be something else to it rather then two people just being in love. This is where we still have a long ways to go as a society IMO.
My dad has been married twice...the second time he married a girl that he was/is 27 years older than. He was 51 then. At the time, a lot of people were judgmental and thought just like you said "that's creepy". But now that he's 78...guess what?? All of a sudden no one cares, yet the same 27 year age gap exists. I think that's VERY bizarre, especially since they are happy together.
I realize this is semantics, but I feel there is a pretty big difference between being a “self proclaimed Tom boy” and choosing option “B” when being asked to choose between “girly” and “tomboy.” Being “self proclaimed” implies they choose the label, not that they selected one of the two pigeonholes you offered.
And how the hell does this come up in conversation? Is this your go-to icebreaker? Is this before or after you discuss their preferred term for their undergarments?
Ignoring those posters is not a problem
It comes up because it's one of the first things I ask...I figure if I'm not going to be interested I want to know right away rather than waste her or my time. To me it's no different than if someone asks you "so do you smoke or drink"?? Or " what do you do for a living"?? Everyone has preferences for what hey want/don't want in a partner. Everyone has deal breakers, things they like and don't like. For me, being "girly" is a top priority.And just because they aren't, doesn't mean they aren't a great person, it just simply means there's not going to be a match for me, and I wouldn't be happy with her, and thus because of that, she wouldn't be happy either. Just a personal preference. Sadly, it sure seems like the TRUE girly girl(by my definition), has gone the way of the dinosaur.
My wife is both. She can be old school, very feminine or tough as nails ars kicker. Youngest of 9 so she was raised old school Midwest....love her to death. Very lucky. I have largely taken care of her, but she recently went back to work now that our last child is almost done with high school.
The proof is in the pudding.
Whether you think the rules are fairly enforced or not, you can choose to ignore people and not respond to every single provocation. Every. Single. One.
Hands down the best scoop thread of the year. I've been laughing for a good 2 hours.
Well because that doesn’t seem to be the case because it is not allowed as some threads are locked or posts removed, while others are allowed. I don’t think he was yanking my chain at all, he wasn’t talking to me but to someone else. Just trying to understand the policy. Seems fair especially when two mods wrote to me in the last month to stop political posts and yet here those posts appear in droves and nothing happens. Seems a fair question to ask. In the meantime, I will continue to abide by their wishes and not do politics....hoping the pinned post that says politics are not allowed would actually be the case, similar to the steps Disney and ESPN have taken.
Ignoring those posters is not a problem, seeking clarity is all I ask.
People discounted the trouble he had in the Derby, or felt he wasn’t bred to get the 1 and 1/4 Miles...but hey....
Code of Honor has some serious inbreeding to Northern Dancer...interesting cross to see it in the same corresponding spot on the pedigree. The Dancer was both his maternal and paternal great grandsire.
Far from perfect...but, the basic jist of it is she was/is from Canada, and her homesickness just got the best of her. She really struggled with it.
Which is fair, you're entitled to your beliefs just as he is. But that still has nothing to do with revealing his character. A child molesting priest could capitalize the G all the time and and an atheist who refuses to could spend their life helping those same victims. Would you respond to the atheist that it reveals something negative about their character and look the other way about the priest because of something as trivial as a capitalization?
My jaw hurts from smiling too much.
U sure it wuz from smilin hey?
I don’t and can happily provide umpteen examples when I let it go and didn’t say a word, let alone every single one....repeat...every. Single. One.
It’s probably because most posters here haven’t been banned under multiple usernames and continued to show back up. And probably because the one poster who is the common denominator in all these different political threads is the same poster who’s been banned for similar posting habits under multiple usernames.
Just a guess?
But you are just treated so unfairly around here.
Personally I have found that a vast majority(but obviously not all) fall into the category of your wife...they can be and are both. There is zero wrong with that. Quite honestly, I also think a vast majority of men, prefer that. Also nothing wrong with that. Just for me, as far as what makes me happiest, is if she's 100% feminine. I think you'd be surprised(or maybe you wouldn't be) just how few of those women really exist now days.
You know what, you’re right. And I owe you an apology. Sincerely. Still, I wish you would ignore more of it.
Flight delayed. Could be the case, though i’m Hardly the common denominator. Of course if I show all the threads to prove that out, well then attacked for defending one’s self against a falsehood. Oh well.
Hey, how about that west coast volleyball, eh?
If a man is 45 and he is with a 21 yr old girl, most in society these days would say just what you did "it's creepy". But aren't we told, love is love?? If they are happy together, shouldn't that be all that matters?? How is that any different then a man with a man, or a woman with a woman etc??
Where we all get really hypocritical is if that woman was 31 and the man was 55(still the same 24 year age difference), then most people would seem to accept that.
That's like someone having a problem with it being called an "orange" so they just call it "that orange colored fruit". Makes no sense to me.
If I ask someone are you more "girly" or more tomboy. I overwhelming get more "tomboy" responses than "girly" responses.Who the frack *asks* someone if they are girly or tomboy? Or what they call their undergarments? F'ing weird.
I did, and nothing happened.
Then they don't care. So STFU about it.

Which is why I ask. If they don't care, I'm guessing the pinned post can be removed.
Sorry to hear about your flight delay, I guess? And what about west coast volleyball?
Odd response. But they all seem to be from you lately.
Feel free to share the threads “proving it out.” I’m guessing it’d go something like when you claimed I had gotten 3 threads locked “in the last few weeks,” then quickly changed that number to 2, then moved it down to 1 shortly thereafter. And the one you were able to find was started by me and was the only post I made in that thread.
But like I said we all know already. You’re on username...I don’t even know what number now, hard to keep up. But it’s never been you. You’re just treated differently here. Different rules for chicos. Oh and WarriorDad. And Hoopaloop. And Cheeks. If only those 4 would be treated the same as every other Scooper there would only be a need for one username.
not hard. just need to push the dipstick in and out.

"I miss Canada".
I seem to recall someone saying "life isn't fair" and "some people have to follow rules that others don't" ;D
Yup, the lesson is almost complete now. I’m glad you are getting it.
No on WarriorDad, but don't forget Billy...I'm him apparently. If you think I am the only one to reemerge here, that's funny.
I said you got three threads locked? Nope, I said two, and yes revised down to one. I never said three. https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=58959.msg1148855#msg1148855
But in your head you keep saying three...not sure why. https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=58959.msg1148993#msg1148993 You repeated it again in this thread. Strange.

I said 2 or 3. I didn’t start at 3. I had to move to 1 simply because of the time frame listed, you have had plenty of threads shut down over the course of time as have I and others, of course if I list them here then I get nailed for daring to list them.
