GIVE ADVICE ON JOKES, POLLS & ANYTHING ELSE

Yeah, this is funny and everything, but...

Does anyone ever consider the fact that in doing stuff like this, YOU ARE THREATENING SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD? Being protective of your own kid is one thing, but when it gets to the point of insulting or threatening total strangers, isn't it a bit too much?

I've had two instances of parents and older siblings trying to do stuff like this. First, when I was in high school, I went to pick a girl up for a date, and her father tried to intimidate me. I told him, "Sir, I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I am a straight A student. I have never been in any kind of trouble in or out of school. As far as I know, I have never done anything to disrespect you, your daughter, or your home, and I really don't appreciate being talked to like I'm some thug who wandered in off the street."

And then I left. Of course he never apologized, and things never really progressed with the girl, but she did tell me later that her father always respected me for standing up to him.

Second time was just a couple of years ago. Went on a first date with a girl I'd met on a dating site. We met in a public place early in the evening just to grab a bite and a few drinks. She informs me that her older brother wants her to call and give him MY DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER! I told her, "Look, I understand that your brother loves you and wants you to be safe. I understand that for all he knows, I could be a serial killer. But I need you to understand that for all I know, the two of you could be identity thieves, or regular thieves who are just trying to get my address off my driver's license, knowing that I'm not at home right now."

And then I left. I haven't seen or spoken to her since.

IJS, this attitude does scare away the losers, but it's also insulting and a complete turnoff to alot of the decent guys as well...

Just to be clear, I don't think Angel meant her post seriously, and this is not an attack on her, or on anyone, for that matter. I read her post, and while I found it amusing, it also made me think about the other side of this scenario. That's all.

This is tough...if you are accepted, by all means...you will be allowed to date my daughter!

So how old where you.........

When you figured out that Meatloafs "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" wasn't about baseball....

The song was introduced in 1977 so I was 15....I'm going to say it wasn't until another 8 years had passed until I figured out what the song really meant......

How early is too early to think?

Emm...

How early is too early for a drink?

How long does it take to get used to you?

Only me.

What is the best way to approach a a women at a club to dance?

I've been going clubbing lately, and i'm kinda new at that scene. I've asked women to dance many times and they plain turn me down. Many times i see so many women dancing just with the girlfriends. I'm wondering why they even come to a club, if that's all they want to do. Am i saying, or doing something wrong? Usually I just introduce myself and then ask for the dance. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I wish someone would invent two items.

I wish grocery carts had a small container attachment that would hold nail polish, lipstick and anything else that falls thru the webbed carts.

Secondly, I wish I could buy a small saw for my kitchen to saw in half mayonaise, mustard and any other product that sticks to the side of the container when empty.

What do you wish someone would invent?

Do you have certain events from your past that you wouldn't tell anyone about?

why

I mean this is just a way of men breaking women in....

Why is everyone calling the guy a jerk. He is just trying to break her in. Funny when women do this it is seen as good, but when a man does it it is bad and controlling... can someone explain to me why there is a difference. Just the other day some woman was complaining about her bf cutting up all his meat before eating it. Why isn't that seen as controling...oh, I forgot women are soooo much more classy and now so much more than men...hahaha...yeah right...

So we have never heard of the idea of women being attracted to bad boys due to the fact they are trying to fix them...come on now people...Don't play me for stupid...

Cutiepie (sp?) hit it right on the head... and sorry if I didn't specify that it was some....

Update: March 11, 2010.
I am not saying this is something I would do to a girl. I am just saying that if women think it is alright to do this to men, it should be alright to do it back. Women are always trying to fix men based on their view of how they should be, why can't men try to fix women to be how they want them. I just find it Ironic that if a woman does it and the guy doesn't change it is the guy who is a jerk, but when a guy does the same thing to a woman he is also a jerk. Tell me ladies, when is it that a guy isn't a jerk...when he hands over his balls and wallet...IJS...seems a man can't ever win...damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.. not being bitter, just pointing out the irony.

Are there really so many things wrong with me or is my bf being a jerk?

My bf and I got into another fight yesterday. I feel like he keeps changing me. He says that he is trying to make me a better person and that it is for my own good. I told him that I appreciate him helping me, but after all I am a human being who wants to be loved for who I am. I am not and will never be perfect. I believe that overall I am a good person.

Another thing I complained to him about is that any time we argue or disagree about anything, he always has to be right. He will argue for hours until I finally give up and tell him that he is right, even if I don't truly believe so. I just say that so we stop arguing. For me, it is more important that people's feelings don't get hurt than having someone tell me that I am right.

I don't know what to do anymore. I changed some things about myself to make myself a better person, but it never seems enough for him. By the way, all the things I changed were internal, not external (my looks). Here's an example of something I have been working on changing b/c of my boyfriend. He complained that I eat too slow and that I need to eat faster. He says that I am being rude when I eat slow. So, I am trying to eat faster now. He comes up with new things to "improve" in me every couple of months. I just don't know anymore if there are really all these things wrong with me or if he's just being a controlling jerk. We've been together for 2 years.

HAPPY THURSDAY!! SDAT! SMACK DAT AZZ THURSDAY!

Have a good weekend kids. I'll be working it as usual.

Keep an open mind is all I ask

If you are ever in or near Cincinatti, I suggest going to the Creation Museum in Kentucky, it is about 8 miles from the Cincinatti Airport. You'll find it very educational and scientific.

It won't change your mind about evolution but it will show you that creationism is another valid theory.
