The "Neutering" of the American Male

lol, no your wrong and I'm right so there.

And it is running away of they are doing that.

Sure, I wouldn't want to be home with a bunch of crying babies all day either.

Then don't start a day-care. But if you'd consider your children just 'crying babies' then you'd be an unfit mother. Really. I'd say, that'd mean you'd be a self-centered bitch.

However - when/if you straighten out (pun intended), and have a child, you may feel differently. (sigh)...Youth is SOOO wasted on the young.

All my female relatives my age already have atleast one kid. I don't want one so I don't risk it. I wouldn't call that self-centered more than smart. They of course love their kids and don't consider them just crying babies even if they do work outside the home to make money. Although there is the chance I might if I had one.

Moms definitely need a break. It's surely not easy , and I only had one. Nienna has the last words on this subject.

If you had one, even accidentally, you most likely wouldn't feel like running away from it. At least, not most of the time.

No - no - READ the reply, toots.

"IF" you'd think of your children as simply "Crying Babies"...then it'd mean you have OTHER issues.

[LiberalNation]

Depends, I know what I'm about and what I'd probably do but nothings set in stone till it happens.

lol missed the "if" there, love. So sue me.

Wrong party. We're not that litigious.

The only modern action hero who acts like a real man is James Bond, and the latest movie explains why he later acts that way. Most of the action heroes now are 'reluctant heroes' with a 'soft side.'

Don't forget my man Steven Seagal.

It's fine to speculate what you'd have done in that situation, but until you're there, it's pretty hard to say. I know that if I thought I was going to die anyway, I'd go down with a fight. Stopping to reload? As a gun owner, and owner of several clip fed semi autos, that would have been when I'd have made a move.

That's where the man comes in and takes care of his woman, so that she isn't overwhelmed. That's part of his job in protecting her & providing for her. Depending on HER personality, she might need a break, or she might need interaction with an adult, maybe a little pampering (or a LOT ). It's a husband's job to provide that for her, as well as be involved with his children, too.

But, if a woman does not want to "be at home all day with a bunch of crying babies," she shouldn't have kids. If she DOES have a kid, she needs to put aside such childish notions, and think about what the KID needs instead of what SHE wants. Hint: If a kid or a baby is crying ALL DAY, there is a HUGE problem with the WOMAN'S performance.

My husband and I were talking about this. One of the witnesses to the shootings, a strong looking young man, said Cho ran out of ammo and stopped to reload the same gun (the .22) I was wondering why no one took that opportunioy to tackle him. The guy who told the tale took that time to burrow in deeper under some desks.

All you gun guys out there- wouldn't there be enough time to tackle someone who is reloading? Or is it done too quickly?

Two guns and multiple clips- could be very fast reloading. But that wouldn't have stopped me from picking up one of those chair-desk things, flinging it at the guy, then picking up a second one, holding it in front of me and going right at the little prick. The 5 or 10 seconds of distraction may have given another real man or two time to pick up his desk and do the same thing.

What I don't understand is why the campus cops didn't storm the damn building. That's their damn job. NYC fireman stormed the WTC after a much nastier threat.

From what I've read, less today, the ONLY one that acted 'heroically' was an elderly professor that was a holocaust survivor. Every other story has been on protecting oneself. Now there were those that carried out wounded, which was brave for sure.

Perhaps it's a generational thing.
