There’s all kinds out there.
I wanted to share an experience with you ladies because I think it’s important in this talk we’re having about male entitlement.
I went on a date on Wednesday with someone who seemed to be quite ‘smitten’ with me. I use the word ‘seemed’ because of what transpired after the date. This was a guy who since meeting me was constantly texting me, calling me and putting my wants first, for example, making sure he took me to a restaurant I wanted when I was free.
On our first meeting he complained he hadn’t been lucky with women and that he felt that being good natured didn’t always attract good things/people. I dismissed it because I just thought he was a bit bitter and cynical after his previous relationship and said that maybe his luck was about to change. We left that conversation there and continued on.
For our second date he took special effort to take me somewhere nice, paid the bill and was very affectionate throughout the dinner. We then went for a drive and hung out where we didn’t proceed for a home run because I didn’t want to. He seemed fine with this until I dropped him to his car and upon leaving he said “I’ll see you when I see you”…UM OKAY?
So here we are nearly a week later and not a word from a guy who was constantly calling me, except for a juvenile text about how he had to go home and help himself out after our date, on Thursday.
That shit is not okay.
I am not a vending machine where you slot some coins and I put out my services for you. Just because you bought me dinner does not entitle you to my body and when you don’t get to have my body it does not entitle you to make passive-aggressive comments about how you had to help yourself out.
Men think that because they’re “NICE” they’re entitled to some fucking special treatment.
NO.
There is no fucking special treatment for treating me with the respect and common courtesy I deserve. You do not get an applause for being a nice guy. And you sure as hell don’t get the title of a nice guy because you think you’re owed that.
And here’s the other thing: You do not get to fucking complain when someone doesn’t reciprocate your advances, feelings or generosity about how nice guys finish last. That’s not what nice guys do. That is what a self-serving piece of ass does.
BEING NICE DOES NOT MAKE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT.
Thanks. Let's see responses.
IT’S “THE PEOPLE” VERSUS THE GOVERNMENT … Wait A Minute,
THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT!
This National Security Agency has people working inside it - they are working for US. The problem lies in privacy versus information; The NSA (not NRA) wants to know what ‘we’ are doing, ‘we’ want to be left alone.
Any national security problem concerns itself with ”what is it”? That would be the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, the DIA or whatever 3 or more alphabet letters you choose to print. They want to know, “are they secure”, “is there any leak”, “does anyone know”, “are the bad guys planning something big”, or the Big Guys planning something bad? Those are far-reaching, world-wide, and permanent arguments in question, Mr.Internet, and soon, very soon it will reach Mars. Those are very definite concerns for each and every American, and not something to be complained over and look away. Let’s get it right the first time.
Any private citizen wants to put his ‘life story’ on the ‘net, and/or be assured that only friends; or ‘gfs’ they are looking for, get that; or business associates get what data they enter and only them - no one else. “I’m a private citizen, and my Right’s are in question here, Mr.!”
Nobody, nobody, nobody cares if you listen to itunes while you work. Nobody cares if you watch humorous, or raunchy YouTube videos. No one cares if you email your significant other about groceries to bring home (Okay, some, but not all). And nobody (else) cares about your social website ‘data’.
Only when illegal are you breaking the law. The same-sex marraige and proposed marijuana laws are an example of how to change a law that some think is worthwhile, demonstrating about something that they ‘feel’ is right. That may be upsetting to others, but it’s the ”right way” to get such things done, peacefully. Let’s air out our differences.
The NSA vs “the people” is truly Worldwide, in as diverse places as Germany, England, Brazil and Venezuela. With those being the most vociferous, it’s certain this ‘trouble’ is elsewhere, hidden behind cultural differences or need for power. And, due to the necessating - secrecy - involved, seems one-sided, America - the NSA vs ”US” - with US on the always right’ side. In any case, a ‘business’ will not want scrutiny - someone will always find something wrong. Standing back, one can see that it’s also everyone using an internet, infranet or ‘some such similar software sequence’. Only two days ago - I heard that was 85% of the United States.
Someone (hint: person in Russia) is in the middle, joined by news readers daily. He may be offered and accept amnesty, and promised ”Due Process”. That would be only expected.
It requires noted knowledge in The Constitution about our rights, which is how and why this has gotten so much publicity, somewhat like President Roosevelt warned us about, ”the Military-Industrial Complex”. Once started, it’s a ‘steamroller’.
There has to be a middle ground. No one person is going to get away with any criminal activity of any type, not at this point. No business of any size or type is going to gather up everyone’s private contact data and sell or ‘pass it along’ - legally, including Target stores, who recently had private credit data hacked.
The current situation is this; a national government agency of no previous national ill repute has - without direct, obvious choice, one way or the other within that agency, chosen to protect the nation in the best, and with the most significant means possible without causing obvious upset, until now.
The problem is that many folks with responsibility over large number of more or less randomly insignificant ‘security keys’ have been publicly been ”scooped”, to use a news term, by a former ”insider”. Supposedly, “insiders know it all”, and have evidentally touched a nerve from the distance of a former “Cold” opponent. For the uniformed, that means that anything from that side is suspect and immediately deemed wrong. It’s like the ‘60’s song title, “That Was Then, This Is Now”.
Just today, the president is meeting with fifteen heads of companies in Silicon Valley to talk over ‘surveillance reform’ in an open letter. According to this source, they also want to talk of ”sharing more information”. Hmm. And, on December nineteenth, all 193 member states of the UN voted ”to respect and protect rights to privacy, and that includes digital communication”, according to RT.
So remember, it’s ubiquitous - has to do with our connections - on the internet.
It’s a ‘high-profile’ subject, including heads of state and very large, worldwide industry.
It’s from ‘the Cold side’, touchy.
It has to do with ”our Rights”, never an uninteresting discussion.
It should be questioned to get it right the first time, being ubiquitous, high profile, touchy -and- has to do, very much, with our future.
So, why not, when we are filling that yes/no form on our ‘profile’ or entering into that ‘social website’ or signing up on the latest news site, have two sides, one with public, one with private information that ‘We’ and the NSA require for internet use? That would make it obvious as to what ‘they’ get, and what what ‘we’ keep’, possibly in ‘non internet connected memory’. What we should do is, 1) require new inputs for new ‘net input, public and private, and 2) decide what to do with Mr. Amnesty.
Any comments on this Blog are welcomed.

YOUR SISTER
I have a sister, but we don’t talk. We should, I have that feeling. We grew up together, I left when a teen to go to school and I had seen her some. We still haven’t talked at all. I talk to my brothers just fine. I’m old now and want to make amends, however, I can’t think of how to break the barrier between us. I get the impression it’s just like another person, being so close. Ideas? Comments?

Women’s intuition is such a blessing; Knowing when someone’s lying is incredible. Men think women don’t know when they’re full of shit and they think we believe them. Just keep giving us more reasons to laugh at your foolish asses. Idiots -____-
