Today’s nuggets can be found at Sports by Brooks where I wax poetic on the following:

A male birth control pill could be on the way as soon as it passes the Shawn Kemp level of testing
Mike Vanderjagt could be out of the NFL for the rest of the year
David Carr to Texans fans: Wear Silver & Black to the Coliseum!
LaDainian Tomlinson wants his fantasy football cut

I mean I like the idea of the male birth control pill, but there is no woman, NO woman who is going to take your word for it that you’re good to go.
So you’re going to be putting on a jimmy regardless. Might as well save the money just buy some rubbers and call it a Friday.

No doubt Tree. Any woman who buys it probably deserves to get knocked up, the same way we deserve it if we take the “but Im on the pill” bullshit at face.

I’d have an easier time believing a guy who said he was taking this than a guy should about a woman saying the same thing.
I know it’ll be an easy excuse for guys that don’t want to wear condoms but what advantage do most men gain by getting a girl pregnant? Getting chased for child support? But switch it around and women have plenty of reasons.. just ask your groupies, JJ

Katy nailed it. Men are simple. I see a little kid and my mind flashes to my wallet being emptied into a toilet.
Women on the other hand see a little kid and are caught up with how cute he/she is, and if they had one it would stop their boyfriend from going to Law School in San Diego.
Kids, love, and marriage are the 3 biggest frauds perpetrated against men today. Which most men would be smart enough to see through until they start letting their wang do the thinking, then its Saturdays at the Craft Shop with the old lady.

God did us wrong. There should be something you have to do to activate the “live sperm” switch before you can get a girl pregnant.

Miserable bastards abound in this thread…I feel right at home. lol Some of history’s greatest warriors sacrificed everything for the people and places they loved, so I think the idea of love as a fraud is total bullshit. The problem is not that love is a fraud. The problem is that ego, cowardice and laziness have turned love into something it was never supposed to. People are running around afraid of being hurt by it, so they rationalize and spin their fears until it looks like some sort of cynical bravado.
What’s all that mean? Not much these days. What’s it have to do with the original post? Nothing really, but I thought it might be fun to annoy everyone with a counterpoint to the “we’re all just here to screw like animals and die” vibe upstream in the comments.

Brady, not my story more of a generalization.
As far as “love” goes I just have to wonder how it is, that there is only one person in the world for you, soulmate or whatever and they just so happen to sit behind you in your 9:25 Business Ethics class.
There is what 5 billion people on Earth? And the 1 out of 5,000,000,000 that is your spiritual equal just so happens to be at the same bar as you on a Friday?
Matt03/12/2006 at 23:42
Most people don’t advocate that there is only one person for each of us, Tree, and that certainly isn’t what love is.
Erik04/12/2006 at 07:54
Depending on what you believe, the idea of a “one” may or may not fall into the realm of faith, or lack thereof. I’m not a believer in “the one”. I believe we all have a type and that most of us end up with someone from our preferred subset of humanity, if we’re lucky enough to stumble across him/her in this life.
They still teach business ethics in school? Who’da thunk it?

Anymore Business Ethics seems like a bit of an oxymoron.

I am a jaded, sarcastic girl prone to unreasonable fits of rage. This site is my outlet. I am not classy, nice, or fair. It's best you know that up front.
