It's good but his best is Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates.....it's what all the other novels led up to...
You are right. I have never seen it target a conservative as well. But this guy is acting like one, so he gets the title. And no, I don't watch MSNBC. I haven't purchased cable in 17 years.
That is definitely his best work. I started working at a place about 7 years ago and my nickname became Switters. I was told to read the book to find out why.
There are quite a bunch of bikers who annoy the shit out of me by not stopping at signs and lights. I can't help you if you can't help yourself. But, there is a code for those who bike and that is to NEVER ride a stolen bike. They might ride their own bike like an asshole, but it certainly isn't stolen.
I want a 500 cc British Enfield with a side car...my neighbor has one and I rented one in India...indestructible piece of metal
The English more often than not, leave clews that it's English. Silver Streak, Silver Cloud, Black Lightning. Names of stuff, you could never find of that colour. That's English! And God help yeah if you need to be the mechanic, the English will make it way more difficult than anybody else. I checked into a hotel in the south of England, thatch roof and all. Lovely place but the Toilet didn't flush. The front desk said the maintenance man was out and wouldn't be in to fix it until tomorrow. Told the wife, and she just shook her head. So thought, you can do it! Damn man! What a surprise when I lifted the top off the back tank of that English Crapper! Looked at that awhile and just put the top back on. We got a new room. That toilet was way more complicated than a Jaguar with triple updraft carbs with progressive linkage.
Girlfriend walks in the door. Few minutes later... Me: "Oh geez, there is a conversation about abortion on da forums. I'm not getting involved in this. It is too complicated of an issue for me to have a specific opinion on." Three hours later... Me: "I really didn't want to have this conversation."
If you're saying more likely that the man simply won't pay, then I agree. If you're saying it's more likely that he won't be required to pay, then I disagree. Isn't this second paragraph a double standard again? The onus is on the guy only? One side, Girl gets pregnant, doesn't want the responsibility for the baby, she gets an abortion regardless of what guy wants. The other side, girl gets pregnant, doesn't want to have the abortion, guy does, but guy is still required to take responsibility for the child. If a girl doesn't want to get pregnant, use a condom, have a hysterectomy, explore alternate sexual practices besides heterosexual penis/vagina intercourse. I'll presume that you agree that it "takes two to tango." So why is it acceptable for the consequences of "the tango" be avoided by the woman unilaterally, but the man has no ability to avoid the consequences if the woman decides to accept the consequences? Does that mean the man's choice was made at the moment of intercourse, but the women has roughly 5 months (or whatever the cut off date for abortion is) to make her choice? Seems like a pretty one sided arrangement. I definitely agree that it's the child that's punished in that instance. And I think men should be responsible for their children, even in the very sad situations when they want nothing to do with them. It's just strange to me that society considers a women to be held hostage by a pregnancy and that she be allowed, and, in many instances, encouraged to avoid that imprisionment, but the man has no choice in the decision but is still "held hostage" by child support and the other things that go into fathering an unwanted child. Is abortion, then, a kindness to an unwanted fetus, like forcing child support is to a born child? The child/fetus/embryo has no control over it's existence, regardless of circumstances, but it's existence is still being snuffed out. I hope I'm not coming across as being flippant. It just seems some of the pro choice arguments create a double standard when they are claiming to create gender equality (men don't have to deal with the consequences of sex (i.e. Pregnancy), so women need to ability to choose to be on equal footing) and what is and isn't a punishment to a fetus/child (abortion vs. child support).
