Cartoons and Crapstorms: The post trend continues
Category: unnerd
Ok, so the author Scott Adams who pens Dillbert and dose some other things I'm sure wrote a blog post called "Pegs and Holes". In it he make some intrestingly badly made points so much so that he garnered the attention of Salon Magazine which prompted an interview article titled "Adams Takes on Salon"

Let's not forget that Scott Adams is the silly man who brought us Catbert, who is funny

A lot of things are said and are being argued about this blog post. Many of those things are things that may be in the post, but may also not be what the artist was intending, which brings me to my point for posting this blog here on (e:strip).

1. I know there are those of you who will be come polarized to one of the sides of one of these arguments. They are many ar becoming legion. I wonder what side of any or all of these arguments you're on.

2. I know one if not all of you have tried to make complex arguements that have grey points in them that become understood by the general public (and/or (e:strip) community) in a way that you didn't intend directly. It gets really fishy when normal people try to communicate like professionals. None of us have a cartoon strip that's been made into a TV series and/or the riches and attention that accompany it, but that hasn't stopped us from making mistaks.

3. I like enumerating things. I don't think people understand how much.

4. The part of this discussion that I care the most about and that may tie in to the last few posts that I have made are about human nature and the place for healthy mature masculine behavior in society.

Point for is my biggest concern, only because point three has less numerical value, but I digress.

As a horny single man I have to deal with these issues daily. Their discussions dictate my day to day dealings with those of the female kind and my shape the way those who know me understand my merit (or weather I can consider a person with any of that).

It's a rough topic... set of topics. It's the stuff I like to mull over when I have spare cycles in my brains, and pick other peoples brains for. Like I'm pickin' yours. Do tell..

I am fascinated by the amount of spam comments on that post. Its brilliant of the spammers to figure that out. I would be vigilantly pruning it.

The conversation would be so much different if you just removed woman as the object of desire. I also wonder if woman did not reproduce as a side effect of sex, if the discussion would be different. It such a serious consequence of uncontrolled male sexual aggression.

Do you think internet porn acts as a good outlet for these issues or just makes it worse?

crazy twist after the last post
Category: unnerd
So apparently, some states have been sterilizing people against their will/and or understanding.

Yeah... I'm uh, full of fun news lately, but really you have to see this. Found this out after my friend who works for a Russian news site posted this link

CHECK THIS SHIZ OUT MANG!

Isn't that how planned parenthood started?

If you are really interested in this, there is an excellent book called "Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty" which is an excellent look into the ways in which black women's reproduction has been controlled, both by forced child birth and forced sterilization, in this country.

Herb and Fern garden
Category: unnerd
Here's a few shots of the herb garden this year. There's a strawberry plant hanging under the tiny roof behind me.

I found out you can eat these chive flowers. They're really yummy. so zippy they're spicy

I don't know what this plant is

Same mystery plant. I think it's mint. If so a mojito party will be breaking out soon.

Would you really want my bay-bee
Category: unnerd
Ok So I saw this article on a friends facebook page. Read the whole thing and now I have questions.

GET OUTTA THERE!
image

I presume you read the article if you've continued thus far, but if not here's a quick recap. In this situation the woman held the mans seed in her mouth and impregnated her self later without the man's knowledge. They never had coitus. In any case, and the part that I'm most concerned with is this that the court feels that the child's care is most important, since they are now in the world one way or another, and that both contributing parties should take on the responsibilities as parents regardless of how the conception occurred.

I tend to agree with the court at that since really it's not the kids fault they're here, and they have a whole life to worry about while their parents bicker over what's fair. Still what can be done about this type of happen stance.

I've noted many times where a woman who wanted to hurt a man or keep him encouraged gestation or out and out caused it. Bad women sometimes think that it's a way to keep a man around when really it's just away to become a parent with complications.

If you were a woman what would make you come to these ends? As the mother of a man in a similar situation what would that make you feel? As a human being what rules/laws/practices/products would you dream up to ensure this kind of abuse dosen't happen to people (besides not sleeping around like a disgusting american)?

Speaking of that. Living with an Indian and understanding their mating and coupling practices even as much as I do has really opened my eyes to things. I don't think everything foreign is better all the time but it's obvious when some one else has gotten it right or at least a little better than you. Stuff like this is culturally waaaaay more difficult over there and I reeeeeeeaaaally like that, both as a single dad and the father of a lil girl...and as a scumbag american slut man.

I read this story someplace else before and I have a few issues with Child Support my self? Maybe that ties into this a bit.... Here is my thought when there is only one child and no abuse child support shouldn't happen... When two people go to court and they say I want the kid no I want the kid the person whom can best care for the child should get the child and that includes providing for it... So if Mom is a lawyer and dad has a works flipping burgers and has some under the table side job mom lawyer gets the kid and dad sees him every other weekend and if it is vice versa dad gets her.... But the fact is when it comes to rights Moms get the rights unless they unfit and fathers get left holding the bag....... Not sure if that is National or just a NYS thing guessing national but that has to be a factor....

Now what I think with out being a lawyer and just reading this is they should have sued for breach of contract.... yes they made an oral contract about no kids till after Marriage ..... Of course you would have to prove that it was a legal oral contract and not sure how that is done....

Now to add a little bit of Levity to this....... This is a case in point for snowballing (not sure if that is the real term or just something Kevin Smith made up).... You love her right so right after words french Kiss her and prove it ..... HA....Gross.... But if you think enough about any sex act as much fun as they are they are all gross......

oh duh. sorry. i really did roll over all the words! :-)
enknot - 06/20/11 16:06
It's in the post, under the word "article" in the first sentence. But here goes: :::link:::
heidi - 06/20/11 16:05
Would ya mind linking to the original article? I checked your FB page and didn't find it. Thanks for the clarification - and that's f'd up.
enknot - 06/20/11 15:59
The only control you have is where the contents of your body are. And the second they leave your body you've lost control, at least the guy in this case did.
enknot - 06/20/11 15:55
i'm not talking about a situation when either or both people want to be responsible at any point before or after conception. I guess I should have also mentioned that the woman held the mans seed in her mouth and impregnated her self later without his knowledge. So, yah. I'm talking about situation where the woman get the child she wants weather or not the man wants one. I'll amend the post, cause I agree wit h you hold hearted Heidi and I don't want your comment to look lame.
heidi - 06/20/11 15:45
I'd dream up... CONDOMS! Every time. Boys have plenty of control over the baby-making process - don't stick it there or wrap it up. I understand condoms break and accidents happen, but that's what morning-after pills are for, not that you can force someone to do that, but you can recognize your part in the accident and assist with the process.
