I sort of wanted to take this post off topic, the stupidity of asking why they help women homeless on the streets first is mind numbingly annoying. Women should get every break they want/need.

I can walk the f'in streets at night with a gun under my shirt and feel perfectly safe. A woman has to worry about a linch mob following her with a giant net. Who the hell asks why women get all the breaks? They don't!

And personally speaking besides the fact that when the mirrors in the womens restrooms break, maintenance tends to loot them from the guys restrooms leaving us without mirrors. I am quite content in saying that men are on the earth - only to serve women's needs. And that's how it really should be..

What bastards. :roll:


a swing and a miss.

the point is that they're making a home for women, not a home. I think if they do one for women, they must do one for men as well.


You make more money, buy yourself - A home...

If you were a man in the seventies and eighties, you'd have been called a chauvinist.

Men - chauvinists
Women - feminists

:o That doesn't make sense. Explain.

Good reading - notice the end of the second paragraph. :

Etymology

The term is derived from Nicolas Chauvin, a semi-mythical soldier under Napoleon Bonaparte who is supposed to have served in the French Revolution (1789–1800) and the Napoleonic Wars. Despite the unpopularity of Bonapartism in Restoration France, Chauvin was said to be an ardent supporter and was often seen wearing a violet in his lapel, the symbol of his deposed Emperor. According to the myth, he remained fanatically loyal despite his poverty, disability, and the abuse he suffered.

Many writers and historians falsely attribute to Chauvin the exploits of other Bonapartists. It is claimed that he served in the Old Guard at Waterloo, which is unlikely considering his age and the severity of his disabilities. When the Old Guard was surrounded and made its last stand at La Belle Alliance, he supposedly shouted in defiance to a call for their honorable surrender: "The Old Guard dies but does not surrender!", implying blind and unquestioned zealous devotion to one's country [or other group of reference]. This apocryphal phrase was in fact attributed to the Old Guard's commander, Pierre Cambronne who later asserted that his actual reply was "Merde!" ("s**t!").[2]

The origin and early usage indicate that chauvinisme was coined to describe excessive nationalism, which the original French term continues to do. The term entered public use due to a satirical treatment of Chauvin in the French play La Cocarde Tricolore (The Tricolor Cockade).

Its not really a hard concept tho, if you want a house... pick up a hammer and build one, if she wants a house - you pick up a hammer and build one.

if I want a house, I pick up a hammer and build one? If she wants a house, I should pick up a hammer and build her one?

Only if she allows you the privilege. There are plenty of guys out there, you have to deserve her patience in your stupidity. The last guy I knew who built his wife a house shot himself twice with his nail gun. She took it away and gave him a hammer...

That's love... don't you understand? That girl on the street could be your daughter one day and you could have died at 30 from a heart attack. Do you really want the free house to go to the jerk who could have a free meal in prison?

Because if you think about it, the guys either going to beg for money and buy liquor... or end up in a jail. Or get his head on straight and find a good job - even if its washing dishes. Women a lot of times don't have the advantage of not being tied down. They'll stay for the kids, they'll endure for love. They need breaks - they deserve them. :P

Would "sketchy kitty" refer to overall image of the kitty, or the kitty's fly-by-night personality?

So it questions the basis of the statement "sketchy kitty" itself...

Is the kitty sketchy, is it really a kitty? Is it a fat faced fox? Is the fact the lines are so dark in fact not make it, a sketch?

I'm tired.'

Note : May be "Stewie" from family guy with ears.

What the hell is this crap?!

“Betty got one and that’s not fair! She always gets what she wants ‘cuz she’s a girl.”

OMGWTFBBQ!

“Here’s Bob…” You know what? One more Enzyte or any other ’male enhancement’ commercial and the bunny gets it. It’s not fair.

Digger, did you ever stop to think that quite a few of the women may be single mothers trying to make through life without having to live on the streets? You may also fail to realize what some women have to do to earn money while living on the streets when jobs are scarce. ‘Cuz they sure as hell ain’t flippin’ burgers.

Edumacate yourself about women and homelessness before you start screaming about equality.

They have more square footage in stores for their shopping stuff be it shoes, clothes or whatever and now I saw this on the news today:

http://www.wcsh6.com/news/local/story.a ... 45&catid=2

remember equality?


Men and women just like different things. Women go for clothes and shoes. Men tend to like hardware and technical stuff. There are whole markets full of computer gadgets and technical stuff most geared towards men. If I was a man I would also spend most of my time in this store, I don't want a wardrobe full of clothes or shoes! hell no. Computers all the way.

If you get my meaning ;)

As for the link.... I don't understand either why it is only for homeless women. Seems very strange, it should be for homeless people. Maybe there is just a higher ration of homeless women in that area? who knows, but I agree it is a bit weird stating only homeless women as there are alot of homeless men too.....
