The Week quoted: ”President Bush calls for superiority over CH.I.K,s”

This is the a real quote, ”The country has found a new ‘Sputnik Moment’ ”. This was when the Cold War was in full swing.It was America vs the Soviet Union (that fell in 1994 from internal conflict) because they put up a satellite and we thought nukes were next. It seemed likely. Not so now, Nuclear Weapons are forbidden in Space, thank you presidents Reagan and Gorbachev. The shock, actual shock, of the US failling behind led to an all out effort to regain footing in ”the Space Race” against China (CH), India (I), and South Korea (K,s), ”CH.I.K,s”.

Actually America has 22 of the world’s top 30 universities and graduates more engineers per capita than India or China, and we will have resentment from third world countries like the Arabs or African nations that may be left behind.

Thankfully, someone thought of an answer, ”CoursEra”. Does ''CoursEra'' sound like ''Crimea'' that’s in the news lately? Is this a Cool War over future billions of third world nations? Interested? Contact “CoursEra”. CoursEra is a free university-scale online study ‘center’. You may get Princeton, Harvard, Yale or Stanford, P.H.Y.S.

We are a nation of immigrats. DS 1/31/17

There’s all kinds out there.

NO, I DON'T OWE YOU SHIT FOR BEING NICE.

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.

When an article in the Egyptian criminal code says that if a woman has been beaten by her husband “with good intentions” no punitive damages can be obtained, then to hell with political correctness.
