Pornography

Pornography is one of the most male oriented forms of entertainment. It is almost entirely comprised for the male gaze. It usually degrades women by having them perform sexual acts for the man to watch.

Yet a lot of women watch it and find pleasure in it. Most men can masturbate without a visual image placed in front of them. But there are quite a few women who need that visual stimulation in order to achieve an organism.

Sure most of the stars are very poor actors but they are mainly there to provide a voyeuristic pleasure one cannot find anywhere else. There are porno’s out for all kinds of fetishes and acts of sex. They have one’s for just about anyone’s tastes.
Some people feel the porn should be removed because it does nothing but degrade people. But I feel that if people like it and will spend their money on it why not just let them view it.

Freakin' FCC



I feel that the FCC has way too much power. I believe that parents should be the ones who regulate the airwaves for their children. If they don’t like a particular show they cannot allow their children to watch it. With the technology we have today it should not be an issue. I feel that we should allow more things on the air and not have everything regulated so much. I can understand no subliminal messages in shows but not allowing vulgar language is just dumb to me. Sure kids are influential but other countries allow such things and their kids are doing better than ours. So I don’t think it’s the programming I believe that it is just poor parenting.

Does Sexual Harassment go both ways?

Is it ok for a woman to file sexual harassment if she does the exact same thing? On Saturday at my job a coworker was fired for saying, “Do some work and stop being such a Vagina”. And her response was “Stop being such a Dick, I’m tired, I was out at the club last night”. So the male coworker was fired because he used the term “Vagina” but the women just had a stern talking to about using the word “Dick”. She was the one who filed the grievance but I feel that it shouldn’t matter. How can one word be worse than the other? It really made me mad because the male coworker actually does his work and doesn’t complain much. While the female just sits around and lets others do the work for her while she complains. The argument was heated because the female was just sitting down letting others do her work because she was “tired”. But she is always tired and the male was mad because there was a lot of work that needed to be done.
He fighting to get his job back, with back pay for the lost time. But it’s a fight he shouldn’t have to make. They both should have been fired for using the terms in a derogatory way.

Sorry Officer I was too drunk to realize I was drinking and driving

Date rape is a very touchy subject. People feel strongly about it one-way or the other. I feel that it is a very sexist crime because it is far easier for a woman to claim it then a man. An awkward morning does not come from a boring or lonely night. Have you ever been drinking and done things that you regret. Sure we all have Alcohol shuts the brain down and allows more of your primal urges and basic instincts to come out. Reasonable thought is one of the first things to go.

But to claim rape when the circumstances were in your control is just not right. I feel that it should only be considered date rape when the other member slips you a drug. You are the one who controls how much alcohol enters your system. No one is forcing it down your throat so you should learn your limits and regulate how much alcohol enters your system. You wouldn’t argue a drinking and driving case by saying that you were to drunk to realize you were driving.

When I was 18 I wanted to keep my virginity until I was married. It was a noble cause and I had many offers but I turned them down. Well one night my friend asked me to come to her party and have a few drinks. I said sure because I just started drinking and really enjoyed it. Well everyone at the party knew what the plan was and 2 girls there had a bet on who could take my virginity first. People at the party also had money down on which one would score. I didn’t know that this was the plan or I would not have had so much alcohol. They made me a pitcher of a special jungle juice claiming that they did this to all newbie partiers in their group. I said why not and drank the whole thing. I had no idea how much alcohol I could handle because it was only my 8th time drinking. And the party went on and I cannot really remember what happened. All I know is I woke up the next morning and my friend was wearing my shirt and I was naked. I was so embarrassed I grabbed her shirt threw my pants on and ran out. She called me later and we went to get breakfast with the group and that’s when I found out about the bet. It changed my view and actually allowed me to loosen up. I used to be so uptight about things. Sure most people will say it was a bad experience but I learned a lesson and could then freely start dating without the pressure of losing my virginity. I wouldn’t be with the girl I am so happily with today if I didn’t lose my virginity.

The hardest part was telling the girl that I loved at the time that I was no longer a virgin and made a decision that I didn’t really regret. She said she felt sad for me and that was when I could take her off the pedestal I had her on and move on with my life.

I know what it is like to be taken advantage of and I feel that you should learn from your mistakes. It happened to me again at a different party but since then I have learned how much alcohol I should consume and not go sleeping around.

If you are the one that puts yourself in the situation then you are the one who should take responsibility for your action. Just because alcohol is a factor doesn’t mean that it controls you.

And in most cases of date rape the other member has been drinking as well. So why cant the guy argue that the girl took advantage of him. It is because it is engrained in society that men are always looking for sex and women aren’t. Even though that is not always the case. I know quite a few women who like to drink and fool around while drunk. So why is it different if you are a male and do the same thing?

And don’t tell me that women get drunk faster than men because that just means that women should drink less. It is up to the person to control how much alcohol they consume. Everyone should know their limits and take responsibility for what they do while they are intoxicated.

Its Ladies Night O what a night.

I cannot stand ladies night at bars and clubs. Not only is it very sexist but it also promotes putting women in situations they would normally not be in. Sure it attracts women to these bars/clubs but it also allows them to drink more then they should. I feel that they should remove ladies night from all bars and clubs. This will help women avoid being taken advantage of if they become too intoxicated because they will not drink as much. Yes I know most of the time men buy women drinks but that’s a totally different situation. Because when a girl can drink all night for like 6 dollars they tend to refill their drinks more often and lose count of how much they have faster. So if they removed ladies night, women will not drink as much and will be a less likely a target.

How to Lose weight


If you want to look your best and lose weight you should strength train. Strength training is one of the best ways to get into shape and lose weight. It burns more fat than a cardiovascular work out and will give you more results faster. It is also faster and you spend less time working out. All you need is 30 minutes a day 3 times a week. You still have to eat right but you will get results. Cardio workout which can take hours to get results burn muscles and not much fat because the body wants to store fat for quick energy. While strength training requires short spurts of energy so it will burn fat quickly.

One way to look at it is threw long distance runners and sprinters.
A long distance runner seems to be really thin but has more fat deposits. Their workout usually consists of lots of cardio work outs and distance running.

A sprinter will look more tone because they have more muscle mass and few fat deposits. Their work out usually consists of short sprints and strength training.
Girls who want to improve their body images should really consider it. Instead of starving yourselves you should just work out. And don’t spend hours on the treadmills needlessly running. Just go over to the other equipment and lift weights. The models that girls envy don’t spend time running because they have personal trainers who provide personal plans with weights.

Is it ok to allow underage girls at a club/bar?

I feel that it is not ok for them to be there and clubs and bars should take more responsibility for allowing such things to happen.
I feel that clubs and bars should have better screening for their patrons. I know of a few girls who have no trouble with their fake ids because they all dress up and look good. Then the bartender just lets them drink or the bouncer lets them in. And these fake ids are not even that good. They barley look like the girls but they are not questioned.

While a few of my younger gentlemen friends try and do the same thing but they are denied.
It is very sexist to allow girls to be able to do this. And it also interferes with their safety. Most of the time girls are not even asked to show id even though they look like they are fresh out of high school.

Personal Image

People feel that they have to look good all the time. And everyone can find a flaw in the way they look and want to change something. Women want to be thin and men want to be cut are some examples of how people want to improve their image.

Men have always wanted to look like they had muscles and to look tough. If you have muscles then you are strong and fit. And I feel that this is healthy for men to want to look this way.

While only recently have women wanted to be thin. 200 years ago women who were plump were considered to be the most attractive. Because back then if you were plump then it meant that you had money and lived very well. But now in today’s beauty standards women have to be close to skeletons in order to be considered attractive.
I do not think that women should be so thin. I love a girl that has meat on her bones. I feel that today’s stars should have more meat on their bodies so that an average girl doesn’t have to torture herself to look good. I feel that girls should embrace their natural bodies and not try to imitate super models and pop stars

Johnny Bravo is Good for Girls



The show Johnny Bravo is a very good show. It stars an idiot who is strong and very buff. He sounds like Elvis and desperately wants to be a ladies man. But his buffoon nature always ruins it for him. He is a womanizer and would also be considered an asshole in real life. But it is threw his total lack of sense that makes him hilarious. But some of the more positive characters are the women in the show. Most of the women are beautiful and drive Johnny crazy. It is a running joke on how Johnny is turned down in the episode. He will just be very primitive and try to flex his muscles to get the girls and it never works. The girls will beat him up and leave him in the dirt. And Johnny will say to himself “She wants me” or “She digs me”. While the viewer laughs at his misfortune.

Also Johnny’s neighbor Susie is a very positive role model for girls. She is a very young girl who is exceptionally smart. Even though Johnny wants nothing to do with her. Susie’s advice is always helpful. But Johnny would just not pay any attention to it.

Johnny’s mother is not so great of a role model for girls. She lets her dimwitted son live at home even though he appears to be far too old. She knows he is a womanizer but she one day hopes he will find a girl that will accept him. So she just continues to nurture her son until that day arrives. She does everything for Johnny from cleaning his messes to making all his meals.

There are no more shows like these. And I feel that it is a loss. By viewing what not to do we can learn what to do.

Tyra Banks Date Rape Experiment



During an episode of Tyra. Tyra Banks held a date rape experiment. Where she hired actors to try and get the girls to go with them or give them information so they could rape them.

The only girl that passed Tyra’s test was the one that had a plan. All the other girls went to the guys’ cars.
I found the experiment to be empowering for women because it shows that just by taking a few easy precautions that they will avoid the tragic aftermath of being raped or killed. Male predators know what to look for in an easy target and just by sticking to the plan a woman will thwart the predator’s advances.

A plan can be as simple as staying with the group and never leaving with strange men. If the men want to buy drinks they can but only take them from the bartender. And have a good time.

These kinds of talk shows are good because they can provide useful information and spread the awareness. So that way there will be less victims and let women enjoy themselves.

Powerpuff Girls = Girl Power



I think the show the powerpuff girls are very positive for girls to watch. It is a show about little girls who have superpowers. And they battle the forces of evil. Sure they resort to violence but violence doesn’t work all the time and they have to work together in order to defeat their foes.

Like in the episodes with the Rowdyruff Boys. They are the Powerpuff girls equivalent made by Mojo Jojo. The boys are stronger than the girls and they boys just stomp the girls in a fight. But the girls find ways to stop them. The first time the girls defeat them is to kiss the boys and give them cooties. Then the second time the boys are immune to cooties so the girls have to make them challenge their manhood. So in the end the day is saved thanks to the Powerpuff girls.

And this just shows girls that they don’t have to be stronger then their opponent to win they just have to out think them. The show is also refreshing by focusing on female superheroes rather than the typical male ones.

And because there is lots of action boys will watch the show as well.

Super Crip and his amazing friends.


I was inspired in class to think about superheroes with disabilities. It turns out there are quite a few. The most recent ones that people know about would be DareDevil, Professor Charles Xavier, The Thing, and Iron Man.

Fun Fact. The first super hero who was disabled was Dr. Mid-Nite in 1941 and he was completely blind in day light but he could see in the dark.

Some superheroes got their powers from the accident that caused their disability.

DareDevil was just a normal kid who saved a blind man from a truck that spilled toxic waste into DD eyes causing him to go blind. Later he found that he his other senses had become more powerful. So he could see using echo location.

The Thing from the fantastic four had his skin turned to stone. This completely deformed him and he struggles with it threw out the series.

Other superheroes became disabled after they got their super abilities.

Dr. X or Charles Xavier was a powerful psychic who was crushed by a large stone in battle and became a paraplegic. He then becomes a leader for all mutant kind and starts his school.

Iron man was captured by extremists and who wanted him to make weapons and during their attack a bomb blew shrapnel into Tony Starks body. He then had to have a chest piece that was a powerful magnet to keep the shrapnel from destroying his insides. It also help regulate his heartbeat. After he makes his suit he learns that it destroys his nerves and he becomes paralyzed from the waist down. But he then cures himself threw technology he develops.

There is also a great deal of other cases as well you just have to go and look.

I was kind of surprised of how many cases of disabilities there are in the comic world. It is kind of inspirational just to think about it. It seems though that as of late there is more heroes becoming disabled. Like Spiderman losing his leg in the final battle with the green goblin. Or superman’s spine being crushed and he loses his ability to use his legs. They just dangle when he flies. But still they are able to go own and continue to be super. I do not feel that is a bad thing and in some cases it could help those who have become disabled.

I support the killing of babies and the womens right to choose.


Now let me start off with saying I am in support of abortion. I do not want kids that start off as unwanted. If the woman feels that she cannot deal with the kid then let her kill it in cold blood. If abortion were illegal then women would do it illegally anyway. Like back ally abortionists with coat hangers, falling down stairs on purpose, getting hit in the stomach or just taking lots of poisons.

Why would anyone want women hurting themselves just to get rid of an unwanted life?

Now if you want to argue that women are not killing babies threw abortion then I will say you cannot kill something that isn’t alive.
It’s a cold truth. The child is just in the first stage of life.

Sure the thing cannot survive on it’s own but that doesn’t mean it is not alive.
YOU CANNOT DIE IF YOU WERE NEVER ALIVE.

The thing is just a parasite and the mother is the host. But who in their right mind would want something like a tapeworm just feeding off of them. That is gross. Even though this tapeworm will leave in a few short months and grow into something much more. But then again it will still need you to feed it and take care of it. A newborn cannot survive on its own either so why can’t you abort it then. If you find out you don’t want it then why can’t you just give it some poison or cut it up. I mean it should be a woman’s choice whether the thing lives or dies.

Now how do you determine if something is alive?
http://www.qacps.k12.md.us/cms/sci/life/Characteristics.htm is a website you can look at that lists the characteristics of life.

So what does the thing in a woman’s womb not do to make it a living organism?
Lets find out.

All organisms:
1. Reproduce; all organisms can copy themselves if they are only one cell in size or can copy the DNA (the genetic material) to a cell that can grown into a complete organism. Check the thing can do this.
2. Grow; growing is just a single cell reproducing or copying itself by the process of mitosis. The whole organism grows by adding cells through this process. Check the thing does this.
3. Have cells; their life material is assembled in little organized units built mostly out of proteins. Check the thing has this
4. Have DNA; this genetic material is a chemical code which assembles chemicals to make the proteins that your cells are made of. The DNA molecule can also copy itself, making growth and reproduction possible. Check
5. Need energy; all organisms need energy for all life activities. Even thinking requires a considerable amount of energy. Plants get energy through photosynthesis, and animals get energy from cellular respiration. Check
6. React to their environment; all organisms can sense their environment and react to it. Even a tree grows up while the roots grow down. And leaves always grow toward the light. Check
7. Carry out homeostasis (maintain a constant internal environment); even though the environment around a cell can change a lot (example: hot to cold), the inside of the cell needs to stay the same. Keeping a constant internal environment is called homeostasis. For example, when you exercise, your body heats up. You then sweat to cool down to get the cell environment back to normal. Check

So I guess the thing is alive. O well.

So there we go a women’s right to choose is killing babies and I support it.

Other issues that can arise would be does the unborn child have the right to a life and with the women’s right to choose it loses its basic fundamental right to a life. But who cares, its not like the thing can vote anyway.

Anything you can do I can do better.

I will start off with a question. This is really about jobs or a career. Is there anything a woman can do that a man cannot do better? I am also not saying that women cant do the job I am just saying that you can always find a man that can do it better. Sure you can find women that outclass men in thier jobs but then you can always find a man that can do it the same if not better. And a women can compete with men reguarding physical labor but there is always a man out in the world that is just stronger. There will always be a man that is bigger, better, faster and stronger. And there are things women tend to do better than men but there are also men that can do these things just as well.

So recount.
Everything a woman can do a man can do just as well.
Some things a man can do a woman cannot do better.

Ice Rant

People that say a lot of ice keeps the drink cold. Now nothing pisses me off more than ordering a drink and haveing the entire glass filled with ice. A LOT OF ICE DOES NOT MAKE THE DRINK ANY COLDER. In fact unless you are going to take the drink away and not do anything to it for like an hour just the chill from coming out of the machine will be cold enough. Now some stupid people say well how are you going to keep the liquid at the bottom cold. Well thanks for being retarded. It is a fact that cold water sinks untill it hits roughly 4 degrees C then it beginze to crystalize and expand. So when you have a lot of ice, which is expanded water it will take up valuable drinking water. Now you can argue that its only a small percent so that really doesnt matter. But you do have to wait till the ice melts inorder to drink the water. I like to drink. I dont want to sit there for an hour for it to melt so I can drink it. Also if I got a soda all the ice does is water it down. I dont like watered down soda. But damn those ice people. Especially the ones that work at fast food. When I gave out drinks I made sure most ice I gave(unless asked by some retard) was half full. And that was rare.
