In your face you helmet-wearing, play-date having, kiddie-leash using moms out there.

As any Dad will tell ya... boys like danger.

Your dog wants an AK-47.

Conn Iggulden is a complete cornucopian. Plus he distorts history more than to my liking. He's a good writer and my son turned me on to his books about Julius Caesar. He writes a good tale, but when I tried to point out the facts to him, both regarding the present about oil, and the past, about Caesar and Cato at his website, he didn't seem too astute. But yeah, it's great for boys to fall out of tree houses. I did and spent a couple days on the couch watching TV.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')en who act like women are pussies. Women who act like men are sociopaths.

I have a dream where I'm in a broken elevator with a pussy and a sociopath and I have a gun with only one bullet.

It's a recurring dream, and I blow my own head off every time.


7-10: you're confused. I am a pussy. I do not act like a woman.

There's a HUGE difference.

There are some women I wouldn't mind acting like. There are some men I wouldn't be caught dead acting like.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Hawkcreek', 'I')sn't it funny that lawyers are about the only species that you can suggest killing without creating an uproar? Try that with any other race, species, or group, even in jest, and people get upset.

(not disagreeing, mind you -just noting)

And the French... Don't forget the French...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', 'I')t is a great article, probably an interesting book as well.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')It's safer to put a boy in front of a PlayStation for a while, but not in the long run. The irony of making boys' lives too safe is that later they take worse risks on their own.


This is so true. Kids, boys and girls gotta learn some things on their own.

I'm not sure what I learned, but I recall when I was about 5 or 6, my best friend pointing his father's .38 (that he kept in his dresser) at my face and pulling the trigger. The bullet passed so close to me that it bruised my cheek. He got the living tar beat out of him for that (by his Mom who was in the house at the time) - fortunately they didn't tell my parents. We later used the hole in the wall that went from his parents room into his older sister's to spy on her.

It's interesting recounting the crazy things that happened growing up, and how lucky we are to still be alive with only a few scars to show. What will the nintendo kids talk about ?

The kid with the .38 was killed in a car crash in 10th grade, BTW.


He'd probably be living if they did tell your parents. Life is a complicated thing you know. But why YOU didnt tell them? How did you explain the bruise?

That's complete and utter BS, but upon what do you base that assertion ? The butterfly theory I suppose.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pretorian', 'B')ut why YOU didnt tell them?


Didn't need to know. Although, it also probably didn't seem like a big deal at the time. Children have a different way of looking at life, danger, outcomes, etc. There was really no harm done from my perspective. Ratting out a friend wasn't my MO. I regularly came home with scuffs, bruises etc. and it wasn't such a big deal I'm sure.
