WOKE and proud of it....

[Gary Childress]

Why is the violent crime rate falling? No one seems to know for sure.

Some say violent crime is falling becuz of better policing, community outreach, etc.; some say violent crime is on the rise but a great many crimes aren't being formally documented becuz of a degradation in policing, community manipulation, etc. And all have the stats to prove it.

Perhaps anything is possible. I haven't seen any source stating that violent crime is on the rise. Do you have such a source? Otherwise, why should we believe that violent crime is rising in the US?

The only warzones are in the metropoli. Outside those cesspools, there are no warzones.

Umm, perhaps you may be able to explain this to me. If ''manliness'' is a state of mind, then those men who believe themselves to be women, which is also a ''state of mind'' and thus, must be acceptable to you. As both are, as you say, a state of mind.

I can explain many things. Your problem, noticeably grave, is that so little of it you are able to understand.

[Do you notice that I reformat each paragraph of your posts that I quote? You will be charged at year’s end.]

Manliness is a condition of men. And men in our culture, and other cultures too, develop intellectual and reasoning cultures. Let’s think of the Greeks as excellent examples. We emulate these men and their aretē — which again, properly defined, is a man’s virtue.

Men who “believe themselves to be women” are men with mental and emotional pathologies. However, I would say that some men have more feminine characteristics or modes of being. And there certainly are women who become, or are trained to be, more masculine (I mean more intellectually).

Men who believe themselves to be women are neither accepted or unaccepted by me. But I maintain that though they must be tolerated the social attitude toward them should be repressive. I.e. not “celebrated” and definitely not allowed to parade through towns and cities.

Who tolerates this? And why?

Back to the closet you go, freakshow …

Do you have such a source?

Several, but I think you can suss them out for yourself. Anything I offer is suspect to most here.

Mebbe cuz it might be your keister on the line?

But, that's not my concern, Gary.

If you feel things are gettin' better, then go with that feeling.

I suspect "manly men" beating their chests and being "intolerant" may not be the best solution to violent crime rates. Are we sure that such a state of affairs as "manliness" is ideal?

Gary, I have noticed that you have refrained from public discussion of your masturbation perversions. How did that come about? What influenced you to curtail those revelations?

If women are more compassionate and tolerant than men, as AJ seems to believe, then wouldn't "feminine" men likely be more compassionate and tolerant? Wouldn't that be a better thing as far as wars and violence are concerned?

You and IC said you didn't want to hear it so I mostly stopped talking about it. Would you like me to start back with the topic? I can oblige if you wish it.

Is there a connection between your preoccupation with masturbation and homosexual blow jobs, and your interest in Catholicism? Are there dots to be joined up?

K: the wild statements... where exactly in America is ''the kind of
warzone?" You talk about? tell me exactly which city, which state
has become a ''warzone'' and what exactly does that mean?
a ''warzone'' defined as, and defined by whom?

If teachers need to be armed and there need to be armed guards in schools ...

If you feel the need to be armed in order to go to the store ...

If you feel the need to have a weapon in your home in order to be safe ...


then that would seem to qualify as living in a warzone.

I can't imagine why you're asking me about this, but, okay, I'll bite.

Softer men don't rise to power and therefore have no say in war.

Softer men prefer to, as phyllo's piece suggests, submit rather than fight so they are always self-rationalizing victims.

Bad, naughty Harbal! Be careful AJ doesn't spank you for that comment!!! Right, AJ!

Well he did bring the matter up without any prompting, so one must assume it is of interest to him.

Tolerance is not always a good thing.
