-Welcome to X-wing: Legacy. Come for the OPTs, stay for the porn.

-Oh go whack yourself over pictures of pre-teen blue-haired anime girls.

-The Cubs have a better chance of winning the World Series than I do of getting a girlfriend.

-I've come to the conclusion that whatever higher power there is in the universe takes great pleasure in screwing with me.

-I will be officially mildly annoyed if this download decides to crap out on me again...

-Hah. I have nothing to fear from the Praetors. My E-wings are armed with the new plot-hole torpedoes. These warheads, when launched, immediately emit a powerful energy field that plugs all story holes requiring ridiculously over-powered starfighters to fill them. Thus, these lethal warheads instantly render any and all TIE superfighters within a 20 light-year radius totally useless. Boom.

-Y'know, for a totally unrestricted forum there's a surprising lack of at least TOPLESS women pictures.

-Saxman arms his plothole torepdoes.

-I'd rather have the illusion of someone who cares for me, than the reality that I have no one.

-Needs another layer of dirt...

-Beautiful women... too much clothing...!

-Anyone else around here notice that Anime characters all seem to use the same hair stylist as Sonic the Hedgehog?

-Would someone please explain to me how the hell it's possible to scare off an 18 year-old bisexual who says dirty things in Latin?

-Yeah, he needs those hands for *ahem* working his stick shift.

-Ma'am, it's not the check it's the account.

-I'm having another one of my "My-life-is-pointless-why-can't-a-meteor-smash-through-my-ceiling-and-bust-my-head-open days."

-Once again I enter the SW.com captions contest. Once again I prepare for my ass to get ignored.

-I have to toot my own horn 'cause there's no one else to do it for me.

-There are some conversations you don't want to only hear half of. There are some conversations you don't want to hear any of at all.

-Y'know I'd draw myself a girlfriend, but paper tends to get tearable when it's wet.

-*SIGH* So much stuff I'd miss if I ever left St. Louis. Cards games, toasted ravioli, measuring time by highway construction projects.

-It's eight 'til 5:30.

-Time for the mandatory "If you know what I mean" joke: I wouldn't mind poking her with my rapier.

-Actually, rapiers thrust. But poking is funnier.

-Didn't like me, not interested, already has a boyfriend, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore, ignore...

-Erai's gotten bored with his hand. It keeps complaining that they never do anything out in public anymore.

-I have every bit of respect for women. I suppose you could say I'm an odd blend of modern and old-fashioned.

I believe in gender equality, though not to the point of affirmative action and other forced race or gender-based minority-hiring practices (hire the most qualified person, not the less-qualified person based on gender, race, etc). Hell, I also think women have the right to serve as combat personnel. On the flip side, that being said I also think women should be defended and protected, and I strongly dislike the idea of a woman's life being endangered.

Believing women have the right to live their lives how they wish ALSO means that if a women wants to pose nude or nearly-nude, and elevate herself TO the position of a sex object (Playboy, the Swimsuit Issue, etc) that's HER prerogative.

And something more important:

The whole PURPOSE of existance is survival and procreation to continue the species. In a very literal sense this means that women ARE sexual objects, as are MEN for that matter.

The male tendancy to view women in an exclusively sexual nature is an extension of basic human instinct. It's the way we're programmed. If I see a beautiful woman at work, the ballpark, or walking down the street I'm going to look, and I can tell you right now that the first thing that pops into my mind ain't to ask about her political views.

I'm human, a heterosexual, and male. I respect women, but dammit, they're just so much fun to LOOK at.
