Transmissions from the Bunker: Send in the Poles

If falsehood, like truth, had but one face, we would be more on equal terms.  For we would consider the contrary of what the liar said to be certain.  But the opposite of truth has a hundred thousand faces and an infinite field.
Somehow she believes that trust should still be able to exist under a system where she destroyed it.  How can this make ( Read more... )

Your first problem is, you're not thinking like a woman. This is not a battlefield. If it was, you'd be dead, 'cause you don't pay attention ( ... )

Jenna:

I am not trying to think like a woman. I am trying to apply the principles of rationality and common decency to the female mind, which, in the examples I have given, has failed. I pass judgment on a situation once I have seen it, heard it, and thought about it. So I can say that objectively, the actions of the girl in the roommate situation were wrong by standards of ethics and common decency. Should you choose to deny these principles, I can see how your points would stand.

Unlike yourself, I do not hold with subjective, shifting scales of right and wrong. Things are good or they are not, to degrees based on the ultimate Truth. So I will not see things from a way other than that, as it is just a way of making excuses for the moral, social, and personal failures. Things are as they are, they have definite rights and wrongs, purposes, and codes to be observed.

As the said women w/ the roomate problem, you are absolutely right. Greg prefers to view me as the great evil, so all my actions are pretty much not based in reality or decencey of course. All I have to say is any girl that I have explained my situation to understands perfectly, as I'm sure you would too.

Katie, don't start. I deal with this enough on IM, don't start it here too. I'm big, bad and out to get you and make you miserable. Happy now?

Second, in response to the meat of your argument: A) no I don't, B) you deny said reality and decency on a daily basis by your own admission, and C) you proved my point by this, as you have given females their own set of rules and logic under which you are understood, whereas, by normal standards you aren't.

So, despite your pointless, baseless, and just plain wrong assessment of how I view you, thanks for the post and the proof.

Greg, I agree wholeheartedly. Being involved in one of the used examples, I can safely say that I was flabbergasted when it happened. It just doesn't make any sense ( ... )

Why are you and Greg claiming that Claire and I- women- are incorrect in our methods of understanding women, and yet you two don't understand women? Now whose being illogical.

I'm not claiming that your methods are incorrect. I'm claiming that your methods appear to be totally random and only consistent from one's own point of view.

Hell, regarding most of those situations, other girls have come out and said that they make no sense.

1. It was not done out of kindness and self-acceptance. Rather, it was done to shut down the conversation. That isn't brave. It's cowardice.

2. He was lied to, and grievously.

3. See above.

As to the final bit: Do you ever think that maybe, just maybe, I use hyperbole to make a point? And of course I am not the UN. I'm not corrupt, ineffective, and a global laughingstock.
