Syria and Australia ..Active bystanders or grab a .303 lets save the civi'ies Posted: 6/18/2013 5:45:06 PM
I was never scared of my mother so your solution 3ffy would not work on me or anyone else who have the same situation, however if you threatened me with my Nana then you would see me being stared down and intimidated by a woman who could make me confess to her some of my most embarrassing moments by just looking at me. I have had teeth filled, teeth pulled out, stitches put in with no painkillers not a problem but have me in front of my Nana and I would turn to a spineless coward. Nanas are the way to go for world peace.

Kevin Rudd! Posted: 6/17/2013 6:11:54 PM
Gillard tried to play the Sexist card and it appears to have had a negative outcome for her as in a Nillson Poll showed that a lot of males have left the Labor Party. I am all in favour of women being in high profile positions but my biggest angst is having people in positions that they would never achieve based on their abilities. This new and ever failing Political Correctness of having a percentage of people who do not have the ability to run a department being placed into positions is causing more problems for the Australia than it is worth. Yes I have worked with women bosses and some of them have been very good and extremely competent in their roles and I have also had male bosses who really would be hard pushed to tie their own shoelaces with assistance. Let's be honest and admit whether it was Rudd or someone else, why would they challenge for the leadership of the Australian Labor Party at this point in time when it appears that the Federal Labor Party are doing their utmost to face a drubbing at the next federal election.

There was no Unconditional Surrender by Germany to end the first World War, Germany sued for peace and an Armistice was signed at Versailles. The conditions that were imposed on Germany at the signing of the Versailles meeting led to Germany having rampant inflation and sowed the seeds for the second World War. None of us have experienced the feeling of wheeling a wheelbarrow full of money just to buy a loaf of bread and discovering that you still didn't have enough money. Unfortunately we have governments the world over who see in these situations the chance for propping up their own economies by selling weapons to one side or the other to the detriment of innocent citizens of the strife torn countries. The League of Nations was a failure because of the differences as to who, how and the why of the member nations and surprise, surprise the United Nations seems to be suffering the same problems. Einstein left Germany because of the Nazis and was a proponent of Peace but that didn't stop him from being involved in the Manhattan Project. The Sunni's and the Shi ites lived side by side for hundreds of years in peace with each other until fairly recently because of the extremists. Hezbollah are very good at inciting violence but members of Hezbollah are never around to do the actual fighting because of their ability to incite the poor and clueless with promises of Paradise for the cannon fodder. Should Australia enter into the fighting in Syria, No but neither should the governments of USA, Russia, China and the UK, nor any other country be willing to supply arms just to prop up their failing economies.

Baby Bonus - GONE !!!!!!!!!!! Posted: 6/10/2013 7:12:27 AM
Pedro is a bit of a stirrer from way back and he is a guy. Pedro will pick a side and make his comments and those comments will consist of a bit of humour, some tongue in cheek and depending on his mood at the time he will insert some logic. The baby bonus has been around for a long time under various names but in the end it is a handout to mothers to be used for the children. Unfortunately over the last 20-30 years it has been used by a lot of parents to buy items that really do not help with the raising of kids.

nice guys dont usually approach strong women...why? Posted: 5/31/2013 6:37:12 PM
I know this is a very old thread but it does make one think and I believe it is as relevant today as it was when it first appeared. I think some women mistake being strong with being "outspoken" and some women mistake being outspoken as been loud mouthed and nasty. To me a strong woman is someone who knows what they want, are strong willed but gracious. As I have seen from experience nice guys do get to a point where they stop approaching women because of the derision they receive from some women, let's face it, no- one likes to be belittled in a room full of strangers for being polite to someone else. I was working at a function one night and a guy went up to a woman and asked if she would like too dance and her response was very nasty indeed too which this guy quickly replied in a very loud voice, What, how much?, I only asked if you wanted too dance, not sleep with you! Women can be strong but to be strong does not mean to be nasty as well. Nice guys can be as strong but generally nice guys don't need to be arrogant with it.

Sparks of hope are great but there does seem to be the element of guys who just don't get with the program. I am truly sorry for the way your daughter has been treated 3ffie, maybe one day these #$%&*** idiots will wake up from their #$%&*@ stupid ass ideas. How we as parents deal with a no- win situation is something that I believe takes it's toll on us more deeply than we will admit. I guess that I am lucky in that I can despise the guy but not my daughters and I don't project my feelings onto my grandkids. I guess we can only hope that one day our children will heed our advice a lot better than we heeded our parents advice overall. At times being told your HOT and nothing progresses from that is a lot better than being used and discarded.

Not a problem Pookie, as you say timing is everything. It was a quick trip over but not one that I wanted to make, I made the trip to attend one of my sister's funeral. It happened to be the sister that I stay with whenever I am in WA and I will be back in WA next year at least for a son who is getting married. Better get back on topic, we could go on a date some night in August 2014 and if this thread is still going, we could report back on the results of what a successful date we had.

I actually concur with Swanniie and with Moon Rocket in most of what he says. There are just too many people looking for that instant spark that really is a rare thing, let's be honest, how many times do we see 2 people get on in an instant to the point of marriage let alone having a deep and meaningful relationship? The last date I had went no where as the woman wanted to engage in sexual activity 10 minutes into the date, something I was surprised at because it went against nearly every stated action of she wanted and no we did not progress further than the coffee. Call me old fashioned or stupid but I do believe that her actions were selling herself for less than she was worth. Sex is great but if a couple who rely on sex as all they have in their relationship then that relationship isn't going to progress very far from the instant physical to the long term emotional. There are about 2% of guys on this site looking to just hookup for sex only and it seems that a lot of women find that group very easily, I don't know the percentage of women who are looking for intimate encounters, Markus didn't give that percentage.

C'mon Rocket, admit it, your as tough as a marshmellow. Like me you were taught that a man was the stronger sex and we didn't or were not allowed to show our soft side unless we wanted to be known as girls. In todays society men are allowed that option as the image of being a kind loving husband, father is more the norm and it is now accepted. We are a dying breed but I think that is good because I know that when my wife was dying/ died a lot of people thought that I was unemotional and had no feelings but as you and I know Rocket we were deeply hurt as we had chosen to stay with our partners for the rest of our lives unfortunately that wasn't our path. We had found someone who we treasured more than anyone else except for our children and we made those people the centre of our world then we ended up single again and we were lost. Yes I would hope that I can love another woman just like I did before but who knows what is over the next wave in our little ocean of fishies.

Drastic Preventative Surgery - Would you ? Posted: 5/14/2013 5:23:08 PM
This is a tough call on anyone and I can appreciate the toughness of the decision Jolie made. Maybe if my wife had a double mastectomy she would be alive today, I don't know but I do applaud Jolie for making this very tough decision and let us not forget that Jolie and Pitt must have discussed this before any decision was made as this type of decision will have it's impact on her family now and into the future. Would I make a decision on taking such drastic steps, I honestly don't know.

Baby Bonus - GONE !!!!!!!!!!! Posted: 5/14/2013 5:16:26 PM
With the economy the way it is, this bonus to families is really not in the best interests of Australia as a whole. Why it was established is a tad bewildering as families before the bonus were still having babies anyway and will have babies in the future as we humans do enjoy the practice of baby making. Even as the Treasurer said that the Baby Bonus has gone he still had a reduced amount for another modified version of the Baby Bonus.

Whenever I have an issue with computers I usually get onto son number 2 and he fixes the problem for me but it is now a tad more difficult as he takes a bit longer to pay me a visit since he has moved to WA.

Liz, it doesn't matter how long or short your emails are, you would do well to take the advice of the above posters. We have all been messed around by others at different times and we have all been hopeful just like you and we have all been hurt, it is a sad time for everyone when that happens to us but if you hang around these forums you will meet the smart, the not so smart, (now I didn't mention any names) and the right royal pains but you can make friends and occassionally, well not really occassionally, you can laugh at yourself, someone else or at any situation. In this case we can feel for you but only you can make the decision to give the jerk the flick

Equality with DV victims Posted: 4/9/2013 2:42:26 PM
Domestic Violence is a rather complex issue at best and a no go area at worst for men in that just like women fighting for the right to vote back in the early part of the 20th century. It is the mindset of people that has created the problem of victims not being treated equal as the major theory is that men commit most of the violence therefore men should not be treated equal. The situation of men being the victim of DV is only really very new to society perception wise, it has been around for centuries but men were taught not to show their soft/ vulunrable/ weak side just as women were taught not to show that they had a brain. Equality for victims of DV will come about eventually as society changes.

Pick on someone your own size turkey! Posted: 4/1/2013 3:49:55 AM
I have never been a drama queen and in regards to a super trawler, I have never been a supporter nor am I going to be. Responsible farming of animals is wholly reliant on individuals and individuals will use methods that they believe to be right for them, not necessary what is right for the industry. On both sides of the argument there are people who will go to extreme measures and unfortunately some of those measures can and do have serious outcomes. The use of cages for hens is slowly becoming a minority practice in it's industry but for some a lot slower in the change than some others would want. Yes I do believe that individuals/ companies who indulge in cruelty to animals should be punished and banned from that industry just as people who willingly contaminate other food sources to prove their point.

So we condemn a complete industry for the actions of a few. I guess that the vegetarians amongst us will cite that going to the vegetarian way of eating is the best and safest way for us too eat. Would we be trading one unhealthy diet for another? Have our cereal crops and vegetables beeen Genetically Modified? The answer to that is yes, these crops are not the same genetically as they once were, they were modified to withstand the Australian soils and to resist pests and viruses. Wheat has been modified to grow to a certain height to reduce wastage. Whilst vegetables are high in the minerals and vitamins we need, a lot of these minerals and vitamins cannot be absorbed into our bodies the same way as the same minerals and vitamins can be from meat. I know a lot of vegetarians who suppliment their intake of vitamens and minerals by taking them in tablet form and these tablets are made by using ingredients that are made artificially. Not all farm producers are cruel to their animals and since the majority of the popualtion eat meat then as a community shouldn't we all be upset with only those indiviuals and or companies that trangress the law? Should we also have a witch hunt on fishermen who don't catch seafood in a humane way?

A poster made a good point about " knowing what it feels like to be abused" and unfortunately I do know what it is like to be used as a punching bag. For all you people who are advocating the death penalty ask yourselves this question, do you have it in yourselves to be the executioner?. Not someone else but you yourself.

Wanting to understand certain behaviours Posted: 3/11/2013 2:15:46 PM
The reasons for many of us to be on the forums are so varied that we may not be able to condense them into a sentence or a 100 sentences. As to why you don't get many responses, who knows but for me you would think that all the women on my matches section would be clamouring to get a piece of me, be nice you long time forumites. As to the why no responses or short conversations with women here, well I put it down to the old Fickle Finger of Fate or they have found a shiny object, like a diamond or silver or gold to occupy their attention. I have also discovered that the more skin these women show the lower their self confidence is, only joking

Like you, LL SL, I gave a friend a job that he was qualified for and he had the advantage over me as he was a qualified Baker, I had done some baking but not too his extent. He let me down big time, to the point that I recommended that his contract not be renewed. A lot of people just don't appreciate what others do for them and they just want the almighty dollar and again like you I used to recommend the mechanic I used and when he sold the business I thought I would stay faithful to the new owner until it just wasn't feasable.

The OP really does make an effort to portray men who have sick wives in the best of ways. Personally I would be more colourful in my description of the tosser but then I would be sent to the naughty corner. At least in the naughty corner I would meet up with a bevy of beauties who would probably have been in the naughty corner before

JustAnotherHuman, there is a difference between being confidant and being arrogant and yet you seem to be defending bodybuilding by attacking other peoples opinions. Whether you are a body builder or not, people have their own standards and requirements as to what type of person they are interested in. I have scars on my body that have their own storyand go to tell a bit about me. It doesn't matter if your photo is one of you topless or not, if the women are interested then they aren't interested and arrogance isn't a trait anyone likes or wants to be associated with but confidence is a trait everyone likes.

Why do guys post pictures of themselves consuming alcohol? Posted: 1/22/2013 5:25:22 AM
I have just re read the OP and decided to look at the OP's profile and have noticed some things that under normal circumstances would not raise an eyebrow but in this instant those things I will mention do raise the eyebrows. First thing I noticed was the question of Do you drink, the response is Prefer not to mention. Personally I don't care if a woman drinks or not but in this case with the comments from the OP then I would be guessing that she doesn't like alcohol so I would have thought that a simple yes or no to that question would have been more straight forward. The other comments that the OP made are of a major generalisation that once I read her profile, it gave me a bit of an insight to the person who raised this thread.

As you have stated Butterfly about not seeing any profiles of women with alcohol but there are quite a few. There also appears to be quite a few photos of women who are in a hen's party and it is obvious from the photos that these women are not quite sober. Then you have the photos of women with men draped over them in some circumstances the males are not children or fathers, I agree these photos don't give off a good image but who are we to criticize as there is no information stating the occassions a lot of the times.

Unrealistic online dating expectations? Posted: 1/9/2013 12:51:03 PM
The comment about "Time Wasters" is fairly common on a lot of women's profile as is " My children come first" and the all time favourite " Must not come with baggage". I haven't figured out what makes a person a time waster yet, as I don't treat any message from one word to severn words as being very serious. I think the comment about children coming first is a deal breaker as at our age we all have children and I would like to think that even tho our children are important to each and everyone of us, they would all be of equal footing in a relationship. The word Baggage amuses me because what is termed baggage has been a part of making us who we are and in some cases we have learned from those experiences and everyone is different. In some profiles that I have read, women want to create man in their image and that takes a couple of million years to perfect, whereas the stock that is already available can be adapted to suit, granted it isn't always perfect but then again neither are some of the women on this site, it is the differences that make things exciting not the sameness

I told Caves I would not tell anyone about his secret photos. It must have been 3ff, who released those photos, or Ging or kmac or swannie or hilly or any number of people. To be serious for a moment if I may, when you see a photo of in my case, a woman who is flaunting her ample charms that are just below her shoulders, it does make me wonder what are they trying to sell. Gravity does catch up to us all sooner rather than later at times and at that point it is really a waste of effort to have on display former glories. I look at a woman's face to see how her smile affects her whole face and eyes, some women have a smile that lights up their face and then you have women who have a smile that is only on their lips and the rest of their face is basically carved in stone. A woman who can smile with her eyes and whole face, tto me shows that at times things may have been tough but they have moved on and still have a sense of humour

How much does your vehicle say about you? Posted: 12/28/2012 4:02:13 PM
When I buy a car I buy it outright, haven't bought a car on any type of loan since I was in my 20's. I look around for a vehicle that will suit my purposes and this can take up to 6 months at least from the time I decide that a new vehicle is required. My current car is a 2002 commodore wagon that has the room for my gear and for me to sleep in whenever I do big trips or small excursions. The car has now done over 350,000kms but is still going strong and still has the power to overtake on the open highway when needed. The radios it has in it are for commercial radio stations, amateur radio stations and cb frequencies so I can get updates on road conditions at a moments notice. My car is like me I suppose, good for the long haul

It also happens to us guys, same lame excuses and same lame disappearing act. I have been viewed as a sugar daddy but not of my doing, the woman had her age as 50 and the foto was of a 50 year old and after seeing said woman I realised that she lied about her age, I guessed her age to be well below 45 by at least 20 years. On another occassion the woman was disappointed because she thought I had put my age up and posted a foto of someone else so that I would fulfill my desire for an older woman. So we sort of give up and end up on the forums

Text Speak Posted: 11/25/2012 2:20:57 AM
I fully agree with you roobee. Not that I get many messages from women but I delete the text speak messages. All my kids use text speak and they get annoyed when I text back asking for english. I have noticed a couple of people use text speak on the forums and I consider it to be ridiculous, if you can't use english then don't post. If people who do not have english as their first language can make the effort to use english then those who want to use text speak should exchange telephone numbers and text to their hearts content. I once had a CV sent to me with text language and I responded with the simple words that using text speak was not an acceptable form of communication for the position applied for. I find it time consumming and lazy.

Dropping a bomb after 5 months Posted: 11/20/2012 3:12:23 AM
Depending on his age a lot of men in their 50's and older were brought up from a very young age NOT to show weaknesses to others. How often do you hear people say, I didn't know he was sick/ ill or had that condition. Men in my age group more times than not have to be carried kicking and screaming to see the doctor even for a deep cut. It can be harder for a man to inform another person of how sick they really are. The man's reluctance too mention how sick he is could more than likely be traced back to his childhood where as I have said men don't cry or show weakness. For some men it takes a lot of effort to admit that they are not bulletproof anymore and in their mind not worthy of a relationship.

These are some of the stars that would be on my list plus many others that I have seen over the years

Yep, it must be a woman thing or in my case quite accurate, I have no long term candidates on my list, actually I have no list. It must be great for you women too have a hit list. Us fellows must keep an eye out for the targets on our backs now as the target could mean we could end up in a long term relationship or we will need to duck before the brick hits us in the head.

I don't believe this thread is trolling, it is asking for people to join in for an activity that is open to all members of PoF who live in the area. It is in the normal threads section because the OP hasn't posted events yet.

Cost of weddings Posted: 11/3/2012 5:16:12 AM
I think for some people it is the expense that is the important thing, you know, if I spend thousands of dollars on a wedding then everyone will enjoy it. Speaking from my background of being the chief cook, I used too make a point of sitting down with the bride to be and their better half, only joking ladies, just to discuss their ideas on the catering side. I have had to explain in very simple language that if they wanted alternate meals it would cost a fortune because of the extra cost in staff as compared to a buffet style menu with the only table having any wait service would be the bridal table as this saves a lot of money. We would also discuss what type of food would be suitable, who wants to have lasagna or spag bol spilt on a wedding dress that cost a couple of thousand dollars. I once did a quote for some rellies for their daughters wedding and they went for a commercial company who charged accordingly, they were $25 more per head and served up tough roast lamb and half roasted spuds. Then the brother in law wanted me to talk to the caterers about getting a discounted price because the food was not up to scratch. I have catered to some big weddings, 300 plus, and I have catered to some small weddings, 20 people, and the weddings that a lot of people enjoy were the ones where there was very little money spent overall. Hey Tina, do you know a cheap organist, just in case I get married again.

Are Tattoos on women ok Posted: 11/3/2012 2:02:22 AM
A s greyingred stated, in my upbringing people who had tatts were associated with the criminal element and as such were to be avoided. If the tatts are tastefully done then they will appear as good body art and tattooist back in my day were not renowned for their artistry as they are today. Would I ever get a tatt? Not likely as I am scared of needles of any sort being applied to me.

Mundine slams racist Australia Posted: 10/31/2012 2:10:05 PM
Not really Brien, it is more the old school upbringing, you the style; if you want to make a difference in this world then start with yourself first and do not expect others to know what you want, that is how my Grandmother taught me. I am not a person who will place blame on another for what their ancester did a couple of hundred years ago and I am not a person who will use the wrongs done to me by a person who died a hundred years before I was even conceived as a reason to hate. One bad thing about history is that it is judged by todays standard which is not the way things were when it happened. I see so many posts on this site written by people who are commenting on things that happened long before they were born and had been taught to them by new age teachers who take the privilage of free speech as their god given right and use that freedom to bad mouth those who fought for the right for people be equal. Mundine is a racist but he keeps taking the white man's money and belittles his own race.

Mundine slams racist Australia Posted: 10/31/2012 5:35:34 AM
Beamonjump, some of what you say has some relevance but your relevance is shattered when you attack people who are supporting equality because in your view they are white so therefore they are racist. If your going to generalise that ALL white people are racist then the same method of generalization could be used and say that deep down all black people are criminals and drug users. We both know that isn't true as all races of people have their good and bad, their rich and poor and so on. Like a lot of Australians I have mixed bloodlines incorporating english, scottish, asian and aboriginal, will I say sorry for the actions of my forebearers, that is a resounding NO. Your point about the Arabs selling black africans is a valid point but so is the point that black africans also assisted in the capture and selling into slavery of other black africans and even the whites got into the act. Even today slavery still exists, maybe you have heard of the white slave trade. In the 1930's to about 1945 the Japanese had sex slaves and in thelate 1930's to 1945 the Nazis had slave labour. The topic here is Mundine slams racist Australia. This man called into question another aboriginal's right to be classed as an aboriginal as well as attacking the man's wife and child who happen to be white. I am not sure what caused the race riots in england a few years ago but do your people a favour and do not attack people who are not the same colour as you who are promoting equality.
