sjw Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Shayne, you are being evasive.No, but you sure are being presumptuous.ShayneWith justification. I asked you a conversational question, which you obviously do not want to answer, so as I am interested in the question, I can only presume, assume and speculate on the answer myself.Oh no, the presumptuous, ignorant, foolish woman is going to presume some more! What am I going to do! I guess I'd better say some more things so she can further decorate my statements with her banal presumptions, yes? Actually, no.Shayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't trying to actually figure out what I thought or why, but in your smarmy way you were trying to corner me, and when you found you couldn't, you called me a liar.

I am indeed presumptuous, ignorant of many things, and more foolish than you can imagine, but banality has never been proven or even alleged against me.

Brant Gaede Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 And I cannot be sorry for an American male who doesn't need Viagra. You need to regroup and get back into the fight knowing that no light at the end of the tunnel only means there's not a train bearing down on you, not that there is no end.I am not taking Viagra. However, I do take a supplement called Tribosten, which does increase my testosterone levels. It's not cheap, but worth every penny. About a month ago, I told a trainer that I suspected that my testosterone was low. I have not had it tested. But Tribosten is one of the very few supplements in which I have immediately noticed a difference.Thanks!--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Wiig Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 The brutal truth is that this honesty has gotten me nothing in life. Values have to be created by thought and practical effort. Honesty, in itself, provides you with nothing. It is an essential pre-condition though to creating values, and more broadly than the personal, it's essential across society for creating a climate that's conducive to creating values. All that aside, the integrity that you have for upholding property rights: how exactly has that detracted from your life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDS Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 No offense, but aren't these the kinds of feelings best left unshared? I recommend that you get yourself a journal, start using it, and keep such thoughts private.I'm not disagreeing with you, but what is your reasoning?--Brantthe journal is a good idea, but how would you have known to tell him if he'd done "best"?My reasoning is that (1) Chris appears to be using his real name, (2) he is single, and appears to be looking for something beyond that, (3) in this day and age, such information can be found about others far too easily, and (4)the next person Chris asks out on a date should be presumed to Google his name, and thus find out the subject of this rant. Not exactly an aphrodisiac, this rant. ;) Then again, my comments were a mere recommendation. To each his own, and all that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
