A man's proper place is with the remote. Although most women usually know where the "mute" button is so they can zap commercials, in general, they don't really know how to run one of those things. What's the purpose of a remote if you don't use it to channel-surf? Jeez! If a woman has control of the remote, she might watch a whole show all the way through. That's a waste of technology!

It is time that a reql man got in on this dischusion and stratinend y09ou losers out!

A man's place is any place he flippin well wants to be, like...

With a beer in one hand and a babe in the other.

NMake that two beer.

Behind the wheel of an awsome four by four, with a babe in one hand and a beer in the ohter. (Two beer ain't smart when your drivin.)

Where the actshun is. Where the winners hang out.

Not in jail. JaIL SERIOUSLY SUCKS EH?

Sorry. Capslok got stuck.

With a remote in one hand, a babe and three beer in the other, and a hockyey game on the tube.

Got the idea? Geez, you people are seriously out ot it if you don['t.

The world was made for men. Ask people like Hollyw0od Hulk Hogan. He is a man. He don't appoligize to nonbody, eh? NO man ever apologizes even if he is wrongn cos the world belongs to men, eh? I am sure glad that I am a man. Men RULE!!! Men will always rule. God made it that way and it's the law! You don't beleeve me, then read the flippin book, and see for yourself. Women are needed too, mostly to bring children into the world so we can have more men and to make men happy, eh? And to clean up. Men are mostly not good at that cos they have other stuff thats more important to do.

You don't have to be no brain to figure that out. It's basic nowledge,eh? Only skanks and total losers could not know this.

Got that right Amos...their are a lotta girls, mostly skanks, who are mad aqt me in this town. Tough! I am what I am and I ain't changin'. These girls are like always mad anyway at someone cos it makes em feel inportant to be mad. That's mostly why, I think. I could care less. You clould pave a new highway to Subdury with just the pancake make-up off all the girls around here who have been mad at me. I have not made most of them so I don't know what hyou mean about my "Maker". (Not that I ain't tried, but they are stuck-up...and don't know a good thing when they see it!)

I also don't get the dcomment about the flowers at all. That was Neil the Irish Sergeant. You ain't a cop are you, Neil? I been havin sertin disagreements with cops around here as long as I can remember....(which ain't too long! Arf! Arf! A lotta beer and grass can slow the mind, so even tho I was not born stupid (like my idiot brother and all his frineds) I find my memory is kinda, like...

What were we talkin' about? Okay, well...

Have you guys ever been to Sudbury? We call it "Sudsy", and it is a real man's town. About all you can do there is drink and ride snowmoblies on the lake whch this year has been more dnagerous than usual becoz the ice has not been too good. That's when you ghotta lay on the speed so ya get across ahead of the ice before it breaks, eh? If your too slow then you take a dip and get sobered up real fast...if you live. My brothere has dunked 3 times and lived, proabaly cox he was so drunk that the cold didn't faze him. I have to admit he can drink, eh? But who can't in this family? Fortuanately he did it on borrode equimpement which we did not pay for, so no big loss, eh?

I am still the brains of this outfit, no dout of that. This is proved by the fact that my brother (Don the jerk) does not surf trhe flippin net, man! He is such a loser.

But he can drink. I always say ya gotta play your strong suit, eh? I got 2 bowers, three of a kind, and a flippin ace up my sleeve, man, and I ain't even started yet.

In the hot tub. Reading their favorite book. To their favorite woman. So she can be in the hot tub too.

Or, same scene, in bed. With music playing of course.

Actually, if he's happy does it matter where he is?

Or where she is?

And I think that Latin teacher should find another town to live in where she can make a living doing what she loves. Deda you break my heart. It wouldn't matter if you didn't love it. But if you do, there must be a way.

Blind; The comment was aimed to the idea that you might have a lady at home who would take umbrage at your statement and meant as a joke. No, I am not a cop. I re-enact the Civil War as a First sergeant in a Union regiment. Hence Irish Sergeant. I try to avoid the cops. There are times they just don't have a sense of humor. Kindest regards, neil

From the Copper Family (well, its time for some music in this thread)

Man without woman's a beggar
Suppose the the whole world he possessed
And the beggar that's got a good woman
With more than the world he is blest
So let not the fair be despised
By man as she's part of himself
For woman by Adam was prized
Far more than the world full of wealth

When Adam was first created
And Lord of the Universe crowned
His happiness was not completed
Until that a helpmate was found

Another snippet from 'When Adam was first created' from the Copper Family:

She was not taken out of his head, Sir
To reign and to triumph o'er man
Nor yet from his feet was she taken
By Man to be trampled upon
But she was taken from out of his side, Sir
His equal and partner to be
But when they're united in one, Sir
The man is the top of the tree

(I reckon it breaks down in the last couplet, but I have always interpreted that final 'man' as the combined man-and-woman implied by the line before and 'the top of the tree' as meaning 'cannot be bettered'. Of course, it probably is supposed to mean that after marriage, the man rules. Ho-hum)

LOL! I love this place, even the trolling is amusing...

Well, for me, anyones place is wherever they make it (regardless of gender), so long as it does not involve destroying others lives in the process of getting there. Happiness is found internally, not externally. When you have that, then you can find the right person to fill that place at your side. Before that, and you are looking for a bandaid for the hurt...not a partner to share life with.

a man's proper place is with those he loves - be they his children, lover (male or female, we seem to be neglecting that), or just the animals who make his home less lonely. not that this is always possible, but it seems to be where many of them (and us women) would like to be.

Here's an offset to "The Rules" as posted way back there. Stereotypes both sexes unfairly, but I found it funny. Doubtless many here will not. What the hell:

WHAT WOMEN NEED TO KNOW:

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.

1. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!

1. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

1. Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as sports, sex, and cars.

1. Sunday = sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it!

1. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.

1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Check your oil! Please.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done - not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.

1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
