Past examples would be the Colonies in America, along with the Greenbacks issued by Lincoln during the Civil War. Both instances had great results.

Happy Birthday!!

Looking back at it, I think that for me, the key ingredient that was missing was meditation. For one thing, if you practice a concentrative meditation routine, it was calm your mind and naturally change your body language. The body language is probably at least 90% of what signals to a woman whethe...

A fair number of these "rapes" probably didn't involve violent penetration, but rather, a guy the woman didn't consider "worthy" perhaps being too a bit overeager due to lack of experience.

All women are partly insane. The difference between the girls you want to avoid and the ones who are dating/marriage material is that some forms of insanity are more tolerable than others.

Even with some of the AWs who are attracted to me, I find that if I try to pry a bit I find that they too have those double standards (guys have to approach me, but omigod not if he's CREEEEPPPPYYYY), and it's a turn off for me. To be fair, I can't say that I don't have emotional double standards my...

I remember someone flipping out at Hoecus due to him saying he was a Freemason.

He seemed like an enjoyable individual to talk to. I hope his wife is okay. :\

In some respects I think the age of nation-states is coming to an end,giving way to more global regional blocs. What I hope though is that there is still an avenue for local control and counter critiques, rather than a total top-down order.

Unfortunately, one area of expertise does not always give one insight into others, despite what people might want to think. Some devout meditators and spiritual cultivators can be quite skilled in regards to concentrating and seeing through their own internal psyche, but are just as dense and brainw...

I have more respect for Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity than I do most of Protestant Christianity, particularly the born-again types. Buddhism and Taoism, along with an updated mainstream understanding of fractals, is definitely a better fit for the future. The funny thing is that some of the ...

Even when I was very young I never enjoyed watching sports very much, although I did like to play them with those who had a mentality of friendly competition (generally the exception to the rule). I remember the first time I sat down to watch the Superbowl, I was always secretly anticipating the mom...

Never lump Sweden or countries like that with UK, US, CA, OZ...All of it is bullshit. The best women I have met have been in Scandinavia. I am either moving to Denmark or Sweden in 2012. More than likely going to Sweden. Feminism in Sweden is not like American feminism. It is not even close. I hate...

I agree about PF. I get a mental image of Cartman sitting at a computer typing furiously whenever I read his posts. >.<

The friendliest women I met in Europe were from Sweden. The first night I was in Stockholm, I went to a neighborhood pub and a group of Swedish girls invited me to sit with them. Stockholm, which is the capital of Sweden, still has a small town feel to it. This is interesting. I hear so much about ...
