Balabusta in Blue Jeans: I'm out here, really I am
It's just that I'm insanely busy, and my computer is limited right now, which is why I'm not doing, say,
the really interesting post on polygamy I'm thinking about. Soon.
Like RenReb's thing on men being scum.
Things I'm thinking about:
1. Polygamy (not as an option, just as an interesting thing.)

the West will attack Iran!--Iran's oil exports will shrink to zero in 20 years!
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HA24Ak01.html
Why the West will attack Iran
By Spengler
Why did French President Jacques Chirac last week threaten to use non-conventional - that is, nuclear - weapons against terrorist states?
...snip...
Iran's oil exports will shrink to zero in 20 years, just at the demographic inflection point when the costs of maintaining an aged population will crush its state finances, as I reported in Demographics and Iran's imperial design (September 13, 2005).

... males are necessary to combat disease:
link:
http://nucleus.med.upatras.gr/~alex/visions_time.html#Will We Still Need to Have Sex?
One is that males are necessary to combat disease: without sexual reproduction, a clonal species is vulnerable to increasing parasitic attack. The other theory holds that sex helps purge the species of genetic mutations by shuffling the genes in each generation.
...snip....
even if sex proved to be genetically unnecessary, it still wouldn't be a total waste of energy.
It is to sex, after all, that we owe most of the things we consider aesthetically appealing in nature.

Scotland has become a minor of the axis of extinction: Germany, Japan, Russia
telegraph opinion
With half the annual births it had in the 1950s and a population on the brink of falling below five million, Scotland has become a minor member of the axis of extinction: Germany, Japan, Russia - once great nations now recording net population loss. In its general approach to economic reality, not to mention the physical health of its population, Scotland is closer to the Russian end of the picture than to the German-Japanese end.
...snip...
Where are the immigrants going to come from? The birth rate is falling everywhere but the pre-modern world, ie, Africa and large swaths of Islam. Assuming that a talented Indian wished to leave his own land, which has the fastest-growing middle class in the world, why would he eschew America or Australia in order to go to Aberdeen and spend his working life supporting the elderly unsackable hordes of superfluous primary-school teachers?

Sex differences create conflict between men and women?
"Do Men and Women Differ Psychologically?"
see: The Edge
"Do Men and Women Differ Psychologically?"
The question 'Do men and women differ psychologically?' has been replaced with more interesting questions. In what ways do these sex differences create conflict between men and women?
The past three decades of empirical research has resolved this issue, at least in delimited domains.

Although women and men show great psychological similarity, they also differ in profound ways.

They diverge in the sexual desires they express and mating strategies they pursue.

Laws prohibiting polygamy are constitutionally defective in USA
http://www.marriagedebate.com/2006/01/polygamy-meme-continuessouthern-voice.htm
"What about polygamy?" an audience member inevitably asks Eyer, executive director of the ACLU of Utah. "Will gay marriage lead to legalized group weddings?"
Each time, Eyer answers affirmatively.
"The ACLU of Utah has traditionally advocated that personal relationships between consenting adults are protected by the Constitution, and that freedom of religion and freedom of expression are fundamental rights," Eyer says, citing the her ACLU chapter's official stance on polygamy since 1989.
"Criminal and civil laws prohibiting the advocacy or practice of plural marriage are constitutionally defective," she adds. "Neither the polygamists nor the proponents of same-sex marriage are wild about the analogy, but we do see the two as similar concepts." . . .
"If you convert marriage to merely the placing of a license on consenting adults that are in a committed relationship, or who love each other, then there is no logical line that can be drawn between gay marriage and polygamy," [Matt] Staver says. "Gay marriage clearly opens the door to polygamy."

She's wife number 5 of 8. She said it's the ultimate in feminism
Joseph Smith officially revealed the doctrine of polygamy in 1843 though it is suggested that he received it much earlier and may have married his first polygamous wife in 1835, only 5 years after the church was established.
...... His wife was never very stoked on the idea, and there is some discussion about the extent to which she knew what was going on with it.
.........It is ...overly taxing for the men and confusing for the children.

I just heard an interview on NPR's "This American Life"
with Elizabeth Joseph, a polygamist.
She's wife number 5 of 8. She said it's the ultimate in feminism --
she got to go to law school, and most of the women work and one of the wives watches all the kids. They have the most fun, she says, when the husband goes out of town and they have margarita night.
Margarita night and Mormonism. Check it OUT.

Arkive: petulant woman-child unwilling or incapable of accepting responsibility for her own happiness and success
Z'escrap: January 2005 see for full posting of all discussions
you STILL have no idea of the anger, the hatred, the vengeance and the pain so many otherwise attractive and available women are afflicted with. It is an epidemic of conflict and self-distortion that begins and ends with an impenetrable sense of entitlement, based on a false sense of victimhood, and for which not just any man but every man must pay forever for the restoration that's never good enough. The "feminist" demand runs from fathers to brothers to sons and husbands, to their friends and acquaintances and chance encounters; it is endless. "I am woman, hear me roar" has produced a psychological wasteland

A crime to wear traditional Islamic dress ? for 50 women Ö
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4616664.stm
Dutch MPs to decide on burqa ban
By Mark Mardell Europe editor,
BBC News, Brussels
The Dutch government will announce over the next few weeks whether it will make it a crime to wear traditional Islamic dress which covers the face apart from the eyes. The Dutch parliament has already voted in favour of a proposal to ban the burqa outside the home, and some in the government have thrown their weight behind it.
There are only about 50 women in all of the Netherlands who do cover up entirely - but soon they could be breaking the law.

1-Blogging Provider and 2-Forever Slow Pain or Big Bang
1-Deciding which Blogging Provider
*-Blogger, (Google owns this personal publishing tool.)
1) free,
2) simple to use,
3) less flexible,
4) no statistics.
*-TypePad, (SixApart owns TypePad, LiveJournal and Movable Type.)
a) more flexible,
b) as easy to use as Blogger ,
c) supports categories.
Social networking services are connecting member profiles to other membersÂ’ profiles and get many of the kids:
*-Xanga
*-LiveJournal
*-MySpace
*-Facebook
Blogs onAOLl
are called JOURNAL.*-Easy and with all standard features,
*-Limited in size,
*AOLl Journal are for everybody, such as
in french http://pageperso.aol.fr/
In USA http://journals.aol.com/
*-"AOL Red", the AOL service for teens and only members-examplee RED blog.
NOTE: Many teens and young adults suppose that only friends will ever see their blogs. Peer pressure and instant rewards generate some revealing / outrageous content.
2-Slow pain or Big Bang (maybe combined?)
It is ugly to read a blog that is getting the kinks worked out. (this one is a good example).
Test your blog with 20-25 post and then go live. (I am not live yet-this is just an emanation of the future that travelled back in time)

Quetzalcoatl: The effects of a "crush" on someone...
...snip...
It refers to that fervent infatuation that one heterosexual woman develops for another woman who may seem impossibly sophisticated, gifted, beautiful or accomplished.
And while a girl crush is, by its informal definition, not sexual in nature, the feelings that it triggers - excitement, nervousness, a sense of novelty - are very much like those that accompany a new romance.
This is not a new phenomenon. Women, especially young women, have always had such feelings of adoration for each other.
Social scientists suspect such emotions are part of women's nature, feelings that evolution may have favored because they helped women bond with one another and work cooperatively.

When you're 18 with a belly full of baby, no family, no money, and no job, things look rightfully dire.
When he's 28, hot as hell, owns his home, and wants you in his bed, you go, and you don't get out of that bed until you are kicked out.
That's what I did, and I would have done anything just to have him love me. I was convinced from the 48th hour on that he would stay with me. I was in full man catching mode at the time, considering my situation.

SO MANY CHERRIES? cherries are yummy and "kiss" and is used frequently...by Lizis
"La Cruda Lizis not working" is quite polular:
Culinary School www.culinaryschoolsite which is an information portal dedicated to providing free information and articles on culinary schools.
Quote much from Lizis on the topic
About going to the market in Bulgaria.
..snip..
bring to diana's house tonight. diana is my language trainer. she's about 30, and she's GREAT.
She's having a party tonight. i know when i get back to the house with my purchases (a kilogram of cherries, 6 bananas and a kilogram of peaches) my host mom is going to be like "oh, thanks for the hair dye
WHY DID YOU BUY SO MANY CHERRIES? WE HAVE SOME RIGHT HERE?" And i will not be able to explain to her that though i know how to say a HALF kilogram of cherries, i couldnt think of the word at the right moment, and people in the market are pretty busy and not so patient.
thus, my fruit salad of three fruits might not be the best she's ever tasted... oh well!dylan asked how my language was going. (by the by, how's yours, dylan? how fast do you pick up new things, now that youre so used to the language?)
i'm really really really really REALLY sick of studying bulgarian. but, on the other hand, i can say a lot of useful things, in the present, past and future tenses. i've got the vocabulary for cooking down like nobody's business. other useful vocab has been numbers, traveling stuff, comptuer stuff, everyday activities, and a list of 100 of the most used verbs
(plus tselovam, which means "kiss" and is used frequently in language class to make example sentences more entertaining.).
eight hours of language class is probably too much, by the way. i mean, if you were thinking of staring a language school, or language training program or something. just thought i'd mention that.
this is my typical morning conversation:dobro ootro! kak si? da, as stanah po-rano dnes. Ne, as ne sum mnogo glutina. ne, blogodaria. ne, ne iskam oshte. NE, MOLYA, NE ISCKAM OSHTE!! Oh, ne, ne ne, as OBICHAM tova, no ne moga da yam oshte. shte obyatvam na dvanighset chasa, na li? caio-caio! prieten den!
good morning! how are you? yes, i got up earlier today. no, i'm nost very hungry. no, thank you. no, i don't want any more. NO, PLEASE, I DONT WANT ANY MORE!! oh, no no no, I LIKE this, but I can't eat anymore. I'll have lunch at twelve o'clock, ok? bye! have a good day!
I say what an impressive language performance of some peoples.

Also, does the PC offer EC while in service?

Taxpayer-funded study recommends repealing law that bans polygamy in Canada
BY DEAN BEEBY
Thu Jan 12, 4:46 PM ET
Link:polygamy_project_1
OTTAWA (CP) - A new study for the federal Justice Department says Canada should get rid of its law banning polygamy, and change other legislation to help women and children living in such multiple-spouse relationships.
"Criminalization does not address the harms associated with valid foreign polygamous marriages and plural unions, in particular the harms to women," says the report, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. "The report therefore recommends that this provision be repealed."
The research paper is part of a controversial $150,000 polygamy project, launched a year ago and paid for by the Justice Department and Status of Women Canada.
The paper by three law professors at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., argues that Sec. 293 of the Criminal Code banning polygamy serves no useful purpose and in any case is rarely prosecuted.
Instead, Canadian laws should be changed to better accommodate the problems of women in polygamous marriages, providing them clearer spousal support and inheritance rights.

Burqaed sex
Submitted by helen on January 11, 2006 - 8:23pm.
Talking 'boutAN Egyptian cleric's controversial
fatwa claiming that nudity during sexual intercourse invalidates a
marriage
has uncovered a rift among Islamic scholars.
According to the
religious edict
issued by Rashad Hassan Khalil, a former dean of Al-Azhar
University's faculty
of Sharia (or Islamic law), "being completely naked
during the act of coitus
annuls the marriage"....For his part, Al-Azhar's
fatwa committee chairman
Abdullah Megawar argued that married couples could
see each other naked but
should not look at each other's genitalia and
suggested they cover up with a
blanket during sex.
I'm really envious of this debate. I mean, Christians never get to debate
about great stuff like this—"marriage is sacred and the bed is undefiled" prettyUPDATE

... spicy cultures have spicy politics and spicy economics
preferred hispanic culture to anglo because the former was "spicy". well spicy cultures have spicy politics and spicy economics which is why people want to leave the spicy areas. Maybe spicy people have more fun in some way than the "bland" non spicy people. but they also have the problems that come with "spiciness."

A WHILE back, at a baby shower for a niece, I overheard the expectant mother being asked if she intended to return to work after the baby was born. The answer, which rocked me, was,
"Yes, because I don't want to end up like Aunt Terry."
That would be me.
In the continuing case of Full-Time Homemaker vs. Working Mother, I offer myself as Exhibit A.
Because more than a quarter-century ago I wrote an Op-Ed article for The New York Times on the satisfaction of being a full-time housewife in the new age of the liberated woman.

Facts about QUXXO for knoxgirl ...
No links are given to Q?xxo or KN**girl in order to ensure that no harm will come to innocent parties.

reader, surely you are familiar with quxxo, frequent commenter on both Cathy Young and Althouse (in fact, I think he posted the link to the Alpha-Squirrel photo...)
Friday, December 02, 2005 3:15:43 AM
Icepick said...
Pooh, yeah, that was quxxo on topic for a change. Normally he'll post off-topic stuff. In Althouse's thread about the phallic Oscar poster, quxxo posted some lyrics from Goldfinger, which was fine. However, it was all linked to an article about Judge Alito's position on abortion during the Reagan administration. DELETED!

No, no--I know who QUXXO is. Rather hard to miss, isn't he? I thought the squirrel pic was hilarious, though. Funny how he faithfully visits over there, given that it seems to make him want to pick fights, etc.My ?? was referring not the person, but the "missing the chance part." Wasn't sure at the time what you meant. But now I see you were referring XWL's initial comment ...

Don't think that I didn't think about Quxxo-ing.I decided the post was long enough as is so I left out any additional 'comment thread party fouls'.My favorite from the commenters over at Mr. Adams' blog was the pick at a misspelling, or grammatical error and use that as evidence that someone's entire post is fallacious.But, reader_iam makes that virtually impossible since she rarely makes errors in comments and never on her own blog.
Update:
I use that to comment on althouse

In some ways, parents see college as an anti-marriage market
From the blog of Steve Sailer
readers-on-college
In some ways, parents see college as an anti-marriage market that will keep their daughters from making an immature choice of man too young.
Professional and grad schools are then seen as the real marriage markets.
This all ties into the popularity among upscale parents of pushing their daughters into team sports, even though some must at least suspect that team sports encourage lesbianism in girls.
But, then, they must reason, if our daughter is a Lesbian Until Graduation, at least she's not getting pregnant and marrying some doofus.

We have become a people who prefer our politics in microwavable form. Prepackaged and unoriginal.
You put a group of modern-day liberals in a room and their views on all the hot-button political issues of the day are going to be damn-near identical, veined with the exact same “truths” that are far from truthful. The same is true amongst many modern-day conservatives.

from SPENGLER +Socrates the destroyer Þ
Kierkegaard, whose 1841 doctoral dissertation showed Socrates not as a system-builder but as a destroyer who saw that Greek culture was a failure and set out to tear down its premises
No culture founded on a restricted ethnicity and its particular gods can help but fail.

Alexander is no good said Hanson: The fearful Macedonian army was a creation of Philip’s alone
I am reading JFC Fuller's Alexander the Great, and your Soul of Battle.
Why are the conclusions about Alexander’s life and legacy so different? Fuller paints an image of a man committed to not only unifying all of Greece, but also unifying conquered territories into a single great empire, not as conquered peoples, but as citizens in Alexander’s greater Mideast empire. You called Alexander a wine bibber, yet Fuller claims he had so much self-control that he submitted all passions to his ultimate goals.
Hanson: I don’t think I said “wine bibber” though in his later years he apparently devolved into what we would call a chronic binge drinker, whose consumption of alcohol went way beyond what was considered sort of normal for the time.
Perhaps it is the age in which we write that explains our differences and our radically divergent approaches. He is a military man of the nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries. So while he naturally is impressed with the genius shown at Alexander’s four triumphs on the battlefield, I see a more mixed picture of slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians (at Thebes and Granicus, as well as the sieges in the Middle East and the dirty wars in Bactria)—as well as killing more Greeks in a decade than did the Persians in a century and a half. All this is amply documented in Arrian, Plutarch, Diodorus, and Curtius, and ancients believed it was unusual even for the times.
Few believe Alexander had much self-control at the end of his life, thus his early demise. Whatever we think of him, he drank, caroused, and drove himself beyond the limits of what most others could have tolerated. I do believe he had a vision, but it was the old one of the conqueror who says ‘bear with me until I finish, then I will be good’—the same disease of a Caesar or Napoleon who likewise draped their slaughter in intellectual or philosophical pretension. I think scholars are beginning to see that the fearful Macedonian army was a creation of Philip’s alone, and that his 20-year subjugation of the city-states was almost as remarkable a military achievement as Alexander’s decade-long romp to the Indus.

Connecting the South American Terror Dots
frontpagemag
Arab terrorists have been sending thousands of their cohorts to the almost inaccessible jungle and mountain region between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay (known as the TBA, Tri-Border Area or La Triple Frontera). Terror training camps and arsenals have been established, virtually out of the reach of local law enforcement or defense forces;
The large and growing Arab population of these states (in excess of 750,000 by local estimates)

She is so cute
althouse blog in comments section
Cuteness is distinct from beauty, researchers say, emphasizing rounded over sculptured, soft over refined, clumsy over quick. Beauty attracts admiration and demands a pedestal; cuteness attracts affection and demands a lap.
Beauty is rare and brutal, despoiled by a single pimple.
Cuteness is commonplace and generous, content on occasion to cosegregate with homeliness.When do we want cuteness more than beauty?
Beauty's more serious and challenging. Cuteness is fun. Relaxing!
Yes, let's baby ourselves and love cuteness.
