Actually it has to be said that the suffragettes engaged in some despicable campaigns like the 'white feather' campaign. Which was set up to shame young men that hadn't joined up during the 1st WW. They then insisted on the vote after men got it after this war in which millions of young men had already died or had been traumatized. Whilst I have no time for voting myself, there lingers a vile stench in the suffragettes direction in this regard. Particularly when they suggest they fought and died for the right to vote. Like men didn't and had done in their millions.

The irony with this leftist chump, is that he picks out some Stef's greatest rants. But I don't expect him to get that..

Could you post a link to Stefan's rebuttal please James.

Can't believe I missed this post, very funny..

Feminism is the outgrowth of some of the worst female traits, which is why it has been so successful. It has relied on the natural bias that exists within both men and women to always protect women at all costs. Working unchecked as they have within the political system to provide themselves with more and more privileges above men and boys.

I have an existing server which has a 7 gb's dedicated ram. Running on a high end dual core server chip. It's an FTB Ultimate server. Currently only one person is using it, as I rarely have the time. I can PM you the details if you and others are interested. It runs 24/7 too and enough bandwidth for up to 15 players, perhaps more even. Down time is once a week on a Monday, when I give the server a quick 15 min reboot.

Ha, I remember the Shrodinger's rapist, very funny. One of the first videos I watched of yours I think. Thanks for posting

Very cool Ivan. I was wondering whether it might look better with some keywords and without the video of Stefan perhaps. Just a thought, otherwise still very enjoyable. subbed too

I'm getting more than a little tired of him myself. His rather dogmatic sense of the world is no danger to those in power. If anything he just prolongs the narrative most people already accept.

Ok, so me and Tom have decided to make the event on the Saturday (19th) at 12pm. Anyone else that would like to join, please contact me via Skype beforehand (via my profile). For those in on the call the Facebook event page is here. https://www.facebook.com/events/823848507625347/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming Looking forward to meeting some of you again and for others for the first time too.

I barely talk about anarchy with anyone outside of my friends and family. The only sphere I'm ever likely to influence, let alone the whole of society. The failure to convince them had very little to do with my use of the word anarchy.

Auger, just to clarify his issue was when other women show an interest in him.

Yeah, my experience was similar to Robert's. Not much else to share other than you can only offer help to your brother. If he refuses it, then you can only suggest that the help is there in future, if he ever changes his mind.

So you had no real connection with her and she was managing her anxiety by giving you stuff. It sounds to me that you were neglected of any true connection with her. Her attempts to spoil and shield you from others were ways to avoid that connection with you, whilst simultaneously making sure you couldn't connect with others. Add to that the sexual repression your mother exhibited, brought about by religion. Is it any wonder you want to 'jump into action' the moment a women shows an interest in you?

Right, this sounds like her story to me. So what were the things you recall that showed her interest in you. What was it like dealing with a depressed mother?

How much interest did your mother take in your life as a child? How was she at expressing affection towards you?

I imagine this tin can will be kicked further down the road until such time as all the perpetrators are dead and the dossier magically reappears.

I wanted to share a personal story of mine that kind of relates similarly to these varying stages in your life. I don't know if it will resonate with you or not. But it highlights some of the fantastic reasoning of children in a hostile environment.At age 11 I pronounced to the indignance of my father that I no longer wanted to go to church anymore and that I no longer believed in god either. My father roared at me, that I certainly will still be going to church. Which I did, until at 14 when family relations were at such an all time low, my parents decided I could finally have a choice in the matter. Several weeks later a school friend invited me to his church, after some weeks of attendance I became a born again christian. This lasted until I eventually left home and have never looked back since. My choice to go to church again, was well calculated. My choice to become born again, was an even better calculation. These were all attempts to bring peace to the family home that actually worked. My mother was visibly delighted, as was my father. Beforehand my father had been threatening me with being put into care for truanting school. He had also began to start locking me out of the house if I was 10 minutes or more late returning home of an evening. All these things naturally terrified me. But after making the above choices I was able to restore some peace to the family household. As you rightly point out in your last post, this probably wasn't anything to do with ADD. Like my story wasn't really anything to do with religion. It was probably a way you were able to cope and take control of your life in the family household. As I say, I'm truly sorry about that.

FDR, a culture born out of reason and evidence. Who'd have thought that eh? As for the rest of what you wrote, a great example of 'appeals to sophistication & complexity'. One simply cannot know how others might feel (appeals to emotions as well). Great attempt at concern trolling 500.

Au contraire Kevin.. You are now the official FDR ablutions expert.

Then my honest opinion, you don't sound at all ready for a relationship with a woman. Everything you seem to be doing is setting you up for failure each time. You can't simply re-frame your mindset brutishly. It requires some gentle understanding of yourself and a firm grasp of your values. My best advice would be to work on yourself and introspect more. Unless you're doing it already, therapy too. I echo tjt's thoughts around your history with medication and not least the religion too. They have left craters in your life that probably still need careful repair. Go easy on yourself in the meantime. And if that's not enough, then grab Stefan for a chat about it. All the very best man.

Certainly sounds like you possibly could have self esteem issues. How many 25 year olds have a job and an apartment these days. Not too many I figure. So I think you are doing pretty well for 25 so far. But perhaps it's something else. Seems like many of these anxieties are self prescribed to detonate any potential connection you may or may not have with a woman. I mean take the one, 'she's too hot'. Why should that matter? I mean maybe it should, if she is dressed in such a manner with makeup to get your lizard brain attention. But I get that some women can still be hot without all that. So why does it still matter? I guess what I'm trying to get at here, is the level of responsibility for being 'interesting' you seem to place wholly with yourself. If after you started talking with her you discovered she had no boundaries and started flirting with you in a salacious manner. Then I imagine your estimation of her would take a dive. That would be a good thing of course, because it would highlight your own level of 'self care' and her lack of it. Her being 'hot' in this instance then becomes irrelevant, because she has fundamentally detonated the interaction for you. If you're conscious of the red flags you might meet that won't be in line with your values, then worrying about her 'hotness' will diminish considerably. Because you will be ascribing equal responsibility in the outcome. Perhaps this all sounds too prescriptive, but I think clearly understanding your own values and principles when engaging in potential romance will help reduce that anxiety immensely. Because the outcome is no longer entirely your own, but hers as well. Hope that makes sense. EDIT - I agree with tjt here, the cold calling approach is perhaps the hardest approach that a man can do. I would start looking for activities and events you can get involved in. That way you at least get to vet the women you meet before approaching them. You'll also have more interesting/relevant stuff to talk about.

Riffing off of tjt's comment, perhaps we could give Hobby Lobby a list of alternatives.

Ok, I guess since you wrote a lot about sex and looks that I was forgiven for thinking this was the mainstay of your anxiety. Nothing wrong with wanting to be physically attracted to a woman of course. When you feel fake making small talk or let's say making your introduction, I'm trying to understand what that means. Fake about what exactly. What do you imagine she will find out about you if you didn't fold up and just said it? If this is history as you're suggesting it might be, then there would be a pattern you could refer too in your past. I'm not sure it is entirely, since approaching strangers, particularly women is anxiety provoking at the best of times. Still, I could be wrong here, what are your thoughts?

No, the theory I am told is as yet only known as the 'Cognitive Type' or CT for short apparently
