My Gripe Box

[Zombie]

What got up my nose was the sweeping statement from a first time poster that the marriage under discussion by Pineau was in trouble because the wife had male friends...even though we dont know if the husband was an adulterer, a wife beater or just an opportunist looking for a way to hang on to his wife's home for himself !!!!

Let me say this again... I take offence to this statement. Besides, you don't need to know other details because I was not asking you for advise.

I came here to point out that if we want to help someone in a marriage, we need to look at the other partner also. Nothing more than that but was asked to clarify and my clarification was not appreciated.

Most help usually comes in the form of where to find a lawyer, or how to exit the marriage etc. instead of counsel to the person.

This forum appears to be handled like a private club, rather than a public forum.

I am finished here, I don't want to discuss anything further. I have better things to do with my time.

Now I deleted Rob's post - in his defense - Zombies - Rob your comment was tit for tat.

yes I agree and also childish.. however in my defense it seems like we are dealing with a child!!

Yet another provocative post!!!

Willy, you are the guy that says that sometimes it is a little too dry here as you do like to stir the pot. Heck I even made a trip to see you because of some previous pot stirring you did!

Yes but I never had a hand in getting this one going.

This forum appears to be handled like a private club, rather than a public forum.

In a way you are correct. On a public forum you usually don't give out personal information in the way of an introduction. Kind of like walking into a bar and starting in on an argument just to be heard. In more serious functions you extend your hand and introduce yourself then graciously enter into any discourse. Of course not introducing yourself first will have others cast a doubt - on bad manners. The internet is rife with bad behaviour as society is being reduced one key stroke at a time.

[Scottish_Robbie]

Well guys I need my beauty sleep so I'm off to bed.

Goodnight to all, and Mr Zombie it was nice to know you ...hold on we only know your name and ip address

Being a gripe box, I will post my second gripe of today.

How many people know that vermilion is red? - I know I didn't. The picture shows the jacket I thought I was buying 

Now I got to return my internet purchase. Devolving one key stroke at a time.

LiveOutThere.com:

 That is our fault. Vermillion is in fact a red colour and what was showing on the site is "Hunter Green," which we are sold out of. The Greenback is a similar colour and is actually miles darker than the image on the site. It's quite close to an olive green. Please let us know if you'd like to get that or a refund of your money. Our sincere apologies. Liam

The same day - Monday, I also used the machine to buy a Coke. The machine thought it would be great to hold onto my money for me while dispensing no drink. I told my co-worker friend - no not a woman  and he suggested I buy a lottery ticket since when times are good, I never win.

Normalise was returned as I did not win, and neither anything else bad befell me.

[David E]

Well I deleted Zombie's last post because he reverted to name calling. Give a man a chance to defend him self - gladly, but mud slinging aint defending. Use logic to defend youself as I can see David does have some holes in his defense. But with a diatribe of insults, I begin to believe that I was wrong in my assumption about you Zombie.

Moi !!!!! ....holes in my defence......never....holes in my socks yes........but my defense of my opinion is resolute and will be defended.....sometimes with "tongue--in-cheek"

Lighten up Zombie, get with the spirit of this Forum and enjoy the interaction with a bloody good bunch of guys.....

Are you SURE you did not get another IP Address and it's really you in the backgraound being mischievious !!!!!!

I could believe that 

[Rhonald]

Moi !!!!! ....holes in my defence......never....holes in my socks yes........but my defense of my opinion is resolute and will be defended.....sometimes with "tongue--in-cheek"

Yes sometimes tongue-in-cheek, which I thank you for but holes come about when talking about absolutes.

If there was zero need...she would have zero response to such an approach.

I would say that there is always a need, it is just the degree of the need and the moral fiber of the person in question. From what I have read, most women who do cheat do it because they feel that something is missing from their life. And if the lack is strong enough, or the morale fiber weak, a nudge is all that is needed. Absolute zero degree of need means entropy has reached its minimum value. David I hope you like this scientific tongue-not-in cheek but stuck to a metal pole explanation.

A very good read is a book called "The Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene & Joost Elffers they also have written 2 other books I own , "The 48 Laws of Power (with Joost Elffers) & The 33 Strategies of War". The reason for the first book is it talks about how Casanova would captivate women. The book is not just about him and the seduction not just about romance, but how successful people have used strategies to lure people, weather it be love, politics, or cons.

Wkipedia: The Art Of Seduction is a book by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers which, while examining social power much like their book The 48 Laws of Power, does so through the lens of seduction.
 
Like The 48 Laws of Power, this book also takes an amoral look at how to manipulate social situations. Greene supports and illustrates his seductive archetypes through historical and celebrity figures such as Andy Warhol, Cleopatra, and Cardinal Richelieu

[David E]

I am not sure there is always a need to go philandering....maybe it's Oxytocin related..........

Entropy.....the race to chaos......covered very well in "The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene"

I will check out those other books you mention...knowlege is power

To high brow for me David.  I was having problems following the conversations.  Plus the one pointer to not being me was that there was no anti american comments featured. LOL
