One point missed in Medusa's statement above is that to me, all that stuff is obvious. It was the way I was raised with a WW II vet father, a college educated mother and two super intelligent older sisters. Respect started at home.
At the very end of the baby boom generation the polite manners of the proper home was shattered by Viet Nam and the 60-70's free love generation.
My gawd was it great to be around in the 70's, trust me. Drugs were clean and fresh, STD's very rare and women of all varieties were very open about their sexual needs. The drinking age in Massachusetts was 18 years old. Clubs played live rock mixed with disco during the breaks. When rock was played, the disco types went out for a smoke and breath of air and vice versa.
Smart gals, older women , hot bookworm transformations at puberty, and Irish girls with brunette hair, freckles and blue eyes were my type and as readily available as conch shells on the Cape Cod beaches in summer.
I was not a playah, I was a romantic. I loved conversation and stared intently into my dates' eyes, responding to their queries as if alone with them in their world. There was no need for a posse or bullpen and if you had a love making session it wasn't required to call back as everyone was experimenting with their sexuality. The gentleman in me always asked, "Would you like me to give you a call ?" and I was never shattered by a "No" response. It was the age.
Not a one of my friends ever got a disease and only one had a shotgun wedding.
----------------------------------------
Now to today. Everything has to be an "event" shared with your circle, your My Space friends and ultimately , the world via the web. There is no discretion.
In the most wide spread cultural development of this generation, Rap Music, women are considered bitches. This started in the urban areas but soon middle America decided that okay, woman are our bitches. At that point the mean/average intelligence level and expectations of our youth was lowered dramatically.
I'm serious here. It's not a racist thing on my part either because white people have accepted this as readily as black people.
Now when a society in general decides that people are the equivalent of animals you have big problems. Rwandan genocide comes to mind. But keeping it light as this is a douchebag oriented website young boys are taught that women are not equals, they are animals. Women are taught this is how men are you must accept it.
The occassional Medusa and Ashfish see through this not just because it's ridiculous but they've escaped from the rampant commercialsm of EVERY FUCKING THING on the planet. To normal people an event should be epic as in a new museum opening or the Super Bowl or a walk in the park with a toddler or that once in a lifetime vacation to Santa Barbara NOT "dude we got wasted and fucked bitches!"
I get it , I see the allure of a Snoop Dogg or even an intelligent guy like LL Cool J but the fact is they are part of the problem not the solution.
So punkasses like Acey Douchey become what passes for "everyday".
Douchebags are followers. It's the way they are wired. Notice the same GLEAM in the eyes of VelveetaBag, Head Injury Hal and any other self proclaimed "Mood Director". They direct my mood in one direction: Pissed the fuck off.
Now, get a haircut, sit up straight, and for FUCKS SAKE pull up you goddamn pants Generation Y.
Strokes
The Strokes are so amazing but i can't believe a lot of people have not even heard of the band.I hate it because there are so many retarded bands out there that get more attention just because they're hot or have nice hair.Gosh.i just can't wait for them to come back.
I will orgasm with excitement..and if they don't come back [god forbid] I will mourn them forever. Yah, Music in the 2000s sux ass I'm hoping for a revolution in the 10's. Look at it this way...the 80s pretty much sucked..then the nineties kicked ass xD. soo...yah who knows xD!
The strokes should be more popular, they would be if they had sold out.
instead they kept making cool music and other crapp bands that have no talent ended up turning into what the industry wanted the strokes to become.
so even tho it sucks they arent more famous, couse they deserve it. They did remain true to their music and thats awsome.

Brains
Medusa Oblongata said...Q: What's more douchey...using brains to get ass, or waxed-up orange abs to get ass?
A: Trick question. Using your brains to get ass is never douchey.
I have been with more mediocre-looking, doughy, over-the-hill dudes with average earnings because they made me laugh my ass off. And they were kind and wise and insightful and interesting. And once we came up for air from under the sheets there was something to say besides "So....see you next
Saturday?"
Don't get me wrong, a smokin' hot bod will make me drool like Louie Anderson at a 24-hour buffet. But once I've had my eyefull, that's enough. I'm bored. Really. How many times can I look at the dude I'm with as he's pulling up his shirt and flexing in public before I start to think, "God, what a tool." Once? If even that. I think just KNOWING he was about to do it would dry me up like the Sahara.
Glasgow
"For a country that gave us dogshite like The Pastels middle class meaningless tuneless indie shite Glasgow should be on it's knees.
Glasvegas alone have restored Glasgow's dignity.
Nobody from Scotland bar Alex Harvey in scottish history can even stand next to James Allan in musical genius/greatness.
Glasvegas maybe the best band in the world.
It's them or Oasis..Alan"

Obama
"Obama might end up being more successful as a leader of the world than he will as president of the USA.
The yanki electorate are drawn to cowboys and mavericks, they see the USA as perpetually being in conflicts, and since they are constantly being told that they have the most advance military in the world they don't see the need for a leader who believe in negotiating or analyzing the situation, they are looking for someone to just kick a$$ and take names.
Luckily or unluckily Bush is leaving Obama with ample opportunities to form a lasting legacy for himself. If he uses his intelligence and come up with bold ideas to solve the country's many problems he could change the mindset in the country forever and move the hillbillies to the background where they belong once and for all."

Marriage
"I am pro-civil union as well and I want gay couples to be protected. Marriage is not a fundamental right. Why would gay people want to change the definition of something that already exists. I also think Bar Mitzvahs are for a 13 year old Jewish boys and Quinceaneras are for 15 year old Spanish girls. I'm a 28 year old female. I would like a Bar Mitzvah. Can I have one? Why not go with civil unions OR I would be all for creating some other new institution that is unique and special for gay couples that want to commit and have marriage-like rights, such as healthcare, etc. It confuses me when life, liberty and the persuit of happiness is interpreted to include various social issues like marriage and education. No one should have problems with inheritance issues, visiting a loved one in the hospital, etc. I just think (and some of my gay friends agree) that the label marriage defines a union between a man and a woman. I agree with you Mario, sometimes when you drop your opinion on this one, people lump you in with the far right crazies or religious zealots."
