    He's right.

    Whether he's fun at parties, matters not.

    I'm guessing he doesn't have a whole lot of fun at parties or anywhere else for that matter.

    And if you're not having any fun, it really doesn't matter whether you're right or a hopeless dinosaur living in a fantasy world of your own creation.

    That’s needlessly dismissive of those who self sacrifice for the good of others. Consider for instance, educators, spreading truth and wisdom, but being constantly ridiculed for it. Would that be fun? I dare say not. But it’s for everyone’s own good.

    Education is extremely important.

      Yep. The divorce rate in the U.S. is one of the highest in the world.

      It's an absolute blast at parties...

        Every woman deserves a man who is fun at parties. No woman should ever compromise her own happiness at parties.

          Read the article, folks.

          It's written from a Biblical perspective, but there is a lot of common sense in there. A large part of why so
          much of society is in turmoil, is because people have no sense of place. Not in gender, not in desired behavior, not in relationships, not in families and not in responsibilities.

          As was written in Judges... In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

          That's a recipe for disaster.

            And does the rest of the world have a large number of women who stay at home, behaving like this gentleman describes?

            I suspect not.

            I was only joking

              Yes, a lot of the world does, but besides that, point out to me where he says women must stay home.

                  I think that a large number of the countries that have women who act like this gentleman describes are of a religious nature.

                  However, the religion in question is not Christianity.

                                Actually, if you read the article, he makes a few good points.

                                One is about the power of police. Guys on my side of the political fence worry about militarization of police...If you've read anything I've written about no-knock warrants, SWAT for simple arrests, etc., you know I consider some of that bad police work. The author also points out sweeping some police abuse cases under the rug - that's also a known problem.

                                Mik makes the ultimate point...Much of the problem is cultural.

                                Which is much of the problem in the initial article, don't you think?

                                    Ignoring the somewhat bizarre and extreme nature of what he's saying, what I did notice about both articles is that he seems to be blaming the problems on groups which he doesn't belong to. He's saying that the police are pretty much responsible for all the violence, and the wimminz are shouldering much of the blame for not knowing their place.

                                    He uses the phrase 'getting the mote of your own eye first', and then proceeds to blame everybody else.

He's saying that the police are pretty much responsible for all the violence, and the wimminz are shouldering much of the blame for not knowing their place.

                                      In the first article, you may find that bizarre, but it used to be a common way of life. It's still not uncommon down here.

                                      And if finances permit, it actually makes for a pretty decent home life.

                                      Of course, that's not the only thing mentioned in the piece...

                                        Funnily enough, Mrs. Phibes has looked after our kids their whole lives, and hasn't worked other than part-time work a few years back. It was her choice, and we made a number of sacrifices on that basis.

                                        The point isn't whether somebody does it or not. It's about some guy, or bunch of guys, telling people how to live.

                                        The way he talks about women is pretty creepy, if you ask me. Feel free to disagree, but he's still pretty creepy.

                                          You want creepy talk about women's roles? Watch Under the Banner of Heaven about the Mormons in 1984. Yikes.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
