There’s all kinds out there.
NO, I DON'T OWE YOU SHIT FOR BEING NICE.
I wanted to share an experience with you ladies because I think it’s important in this talk we’re having about male entitlement.
I went on a date on Wednesday with someone who seemed to be quite ‘smitten’ with me. I use the word ‘seemed’ because of what transpired after the date. This was a guy who since meeting me was constantly texting me, calling me and putting my wants first, for example, making sure he took me to a restaurant I wanted when I was free.
On our first meeting he complained he hadn’t been lucky with women and that he felt that being good natured didn’t always attract good things/people. I dismissed it because I just thought he was a bit bitter and cynical after his previous relationship and said that maybe his luck was about to change. We left that conversation there and continued on.
For our second date he took special effort to take me somewhere nice, paid the bill and was very affectionate throughout the dinner. We then went for a drive and hung out where we didn’t proceed for a home run because I didn’t want to. He seemed fine with this until I dropped him to his car and upon leaving he said “I’ll see you when I see you”…UM OKAY?
So here we are nearly a week later and not a word from a guy who was constantly calling me, except for a juvenile text about how he had to go home and help himself out after our date, on Thursday.
That shit is not okay.
I am not a vending machine where you slot some coins and I put out my services for you. Just because you bought me dinner does not entitle you to my body and when you don’t get to have my body it does not entitle you to make passive-aggressive comments about how you had to help yourself out.
Men think that because they’re “NICE” they’re entitled to some fucking special treatment.
NO.
There is no fucking special treatment for treating me with the respect and common courtesy I deserve. You do not get an applause for being a nice guy. And you sure as hell don’t get the title of a nice guy because you think you’re owed that.
And here’s the other thing: You do not get to fucking complain when someone doesn’t reciprocate your advances, feelings or generosity about how nice guys finish last. That’s not what nice guys do. That is what a self-serving piece of ass does.
BEING NICE DOES NOT MAKE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT.

Use and Abuse of Immediate Food
May 28, 2013
The World’s 13 major fishing areas are being over-fished by huge-netted factory ships, beyond capacity. The fish caught 25 years ago were 6 -7 feet long, now they are 2 foot, not fully grown, not fully able to reproduce. A third of the fish caught are thrown back, as they are not the target fish to be caught or over the 23% limit imposed upon them by regulatory agencies.
And in the time between ocean and restaurant, 40% is lost from manufacturing waste and inedible garbage, as well as bacteria and leftovers on the plate. This “Immediate Food” is not going to be available to the 7.1 billion of us much longer, we will have to lean on time grown food, crops, more as the fish populations decline; in other words, people numbers increase, fish numbers decrease. To grow crops takes time, fresh water, effort and energy. We must learn to do more with less.

Bill Limits Foreign Workers
President Trump signed an order limiting foreign workers recently. He says, “American goods ought to be made with American workers.”
Is this another form of immigrantion control? It sure looks like it is. Previous orders stopped immigration from seven foreign countrys that primarily practiced religious Islam. Discrimination of Religion is illegal in America. The bill was banned by the Justice Dept, and a fight ensued. The Justice Dept won and the bill was banned. Recently, the Republicans approved Justice Gorsich to the Justice Dept, a Republican who is fought by the Democrats for inappropriate rulings. Limiting immigration from any country is against the US’s open door policy, and should be fought. Although this is more general than the religious ban, it still will be resisted.

Climate Change Promotes People Problems
December 14, 2013
In a BBC news article, because of weather causing homes to be destroyed, farmlands to be flooded, and low lying cities to be inundated, the BBC explains that is why poor people remain poor. The more developed nations are doing what they can, but more is needed. Children in low income neighborhood are prone to depression; and a quarter of the World’s children are struggling to learn because of malnutrition. With no hope of something better for your children, sometimes life seems too hard. What would you do for your children? These too, are people problems.
At present, those without are barely keeping up with clean water; food is hard to come by, so the housing - homes put together with tin and discarded scraps - is simply not possibly able to be improved and ‘reinforced’ against ANY possible weather conditions.
There will be 325 million of those people, highly exposed to the elements by 2030 in 49 countries. Sub-Saharan Africa will be home to 118 million, over a third of that ‘people number’. Expert researchers for the Overseas Development Institute have ”often heard that ill health is what keeps people poor”. If we are going to feed and care for the third world, we must consider better ways to house them - or take Climate Change into account - which would help US also. It would do ”a world full of good”.
And Some Are Thinking Ahead
The Peace Research Institute in Oslo, Norway, the journal, ‘Science”, and the University of California at Berkeley have completed and compared several dozen studies of relationships between climate (not weather) and conflict. These compilations are from most regions of the world, and from points in the past 10,000 years. 100’s of papers were weeded out.
They find a correlation as to what they call, being ”hot and bothered”, differing from ‘cool and composed’. In other, more obvious words, “higher temperatures and a disagreeable attitude are connected”. Some disagree, however. They say that the underlying mechanisms remain unclear”, that is, no ”A causes B”.
More Reptiles?
Another, interesting point is that, due to Climate Change, warming makes reptiles bigger, and mammals smaller. This change has been recorded in the Florida Museum of Natural History, and in the journal ”Science Writers 2013”.
Now, most would consider reptiles more distant from ourselves than other mammals, and that when hearing the word ‘reptile’ thinks of dinosaurs, crawling creatures and lizards, mostly animals to avoid. This ‘swerving of nature’ toward animals we avoid may be deemed towards more - violence - and it may not. It is just included here for the reader.
”Murders Could Follow Math Law”
In South America, in one country, the murder rate is exceedingly high. Postulates say that it is due to poverty, population concentrations, and ”loss of face”, requiring revenge. Again, however, statistics show those are in the same pot, but ”there is no cause and effect”, no ”A causes B”. Some ask “Can Big Data Help Predict Future Crime”? Ever hear of a movie about “Pre-crime”, starring Tom Cruise? My question: Is this “comparable information” with Climate Change? Are they, too, ”hot and bothered”? Is this information being discouraged?
”Air Pollution Kill Millions Each Year”
In cities, even avoiding crime, where high ‘particulate matter’, fine dust material suspended in the air (pollution), premature mortality exceeds others by 15 - 20%. WHO, the “World Health Organization” says Beijing, Karachi, New Delhi, Kahmandu, Lima, Shanghai, Arequipa, Mexico City, Cairo are such cities. That’s over 86.7 million total population, of which over 17 million deaths are preventable! Because there are multiple cities in different countries, WHO says it’s beyond individual control and that a national or international body is needed.
How much is the value of 17 million lives? There could be another Einstein! Another Mandela!!
Air Is Everywhere - No One Country Owns It, But One Could Ruin It -
The BBC reports ”Air Pollution Still Is Harming Health”.
NBC news reported in July 2013 that ‘air pollution causes Lung Cancer and worsens Heart Failure’, virtually the same words. There is the indicator that ”more pollution equals more disease”.
The Danish Cancer Society Research Center says ”there is no safe level” or, ‘if you live in a polluted city, you will get these diseases’.
In Japan, the Okayama University Graduate School of Environmental and Life Sciences reported in the Lancet Medical Journal that, after compiling and correlating 17 different studies of over 300, 000 people in 9 European countries over 13 years, that a (as tiny as) “a ten micro-gram per cubic meter increase in Co2 will cause a 2% increase in the likelihood of Heart failure” … !
In another grouping of 47 studies of the greenhouse gases in the air of the US and Europe, that with an increase of 1 ppm (part per million) of Co2 (gasoline exhaust), you will have a 3.5% increased risk for Heart failure… One wonders if that is over a lifetime, or annually, or … shorter?
Overall …
These are not inconsequential studies, and neither are they area specific. The indication is that, according to accumulated knowledge, past recorded events and computer modeling, that “what we make is killing us”. Have you ever heard about lemmings? How about just going out and jumping over a cliff? We are smarter than that, aren’t we? If one saw a rake with prongs up, would -you- turn it over? How about a field full of ‘prong exposed’ rakes?
Again, it is beyond individual control, but together, we are stronger than by ourselves.
