@CB

I am about as interested in your sex life as I am in the sex life of Nancy Pelosi, which is to say not one bit. Good God, get over yourself already

@zultar

You called one of my earlier posts offensive to women (while incidentally despite my repeated requests failing to explain why it would be offensive to women) yet when CB posts this male chauvinistic bullshit you just join in on the "fun" and have a laugh at all those female students that we are to believe will happily open their legs to the immature first dick head that boasts that he needs a 1000 condoms. Way to be consistent dude. Thanks for teaching me how this brainless fraternity talk is not offensive to women though. I'm sure you talk like this to all the women you know and they all feel respected when you do.

The point wasn't to brag about needing 1000 condoms the point was to aggravate my mother. clear in the fact that throughout this thread thats been my goal. Do I really think im going to have sex with every girl in a school? No. Do i walk into the school with the expectation of 1? No.
Simply I am just using the condoms topic to spur a comedic conversation with my mother and then after the original conversation I thought itd be a comedic thing to share with you all.

Before I went away to college, the only advice my parents gave me was:

Mom: "No matter where you're going, always bring a condom just in case."
Dad: "No matter how attractive she is, never let a woman handcuff you to a bed."

Also, dude, be nicer to your mom.

@abge - me and her have an interestingly unique relationship. Im the oldest and have helped raise my siblings for my entire life and well we go back and forth. At my high school graduation she told all my friends she was happy I was "Graduating so she could get me back on the street prostituting" ..... -__- ....
And she won't even buy you jimmies. You need a new pimp.

@CB

I think you might have misunderstood me. My beef is not with your posts which are obviously intended humorously. And I can certainly humor them.

My beef is with zultar telling me off about offending women after I started a humorously intended thread that wasn't even the least bit sexist (as opposed to this one which contains clear sexually objectifying remarks about women) or offending. And then, on the same day mind you, being the first to join in on the sexist and rather explicit (albeit obviously humorously intended) banter of this thread.

So to be clear: I have no problem with these kind of threads. I have a problem with zultar completely arbitrarily interpreting the already very vague forum rules, apparently abusing both the rules and his position as co-owner to tell off whomever he happens to dislike personally. That shit ain't cool.

<ironically intended sexism>On top of that zultar is too much of a girl to even admit that his warning against me was totally unfounded.</ironically intended sexism>

@Oscar - I think the best course of action is to choose your battles. this is a losing one for you. Majority of the community did not find your thread comedic. it may have been vague and misinterpreted but none the less the community has rallied against you. Find another, more meaningful, example to argue the new forum rules on. I do thank you for finding my thread comedic. I am sorry yours did not receive the best response. But seriously please rethink your course.

@CB

I'm not arguing the lack of comedic value of that thread. I fully admit it wasn't that funny at all and I don't mind that the "majority of the community" (was there a vote?) saw fit to tell me it wasn't funny. I agree with them.

That doesn't change the fact that it was obviously intended as funny though. And just because it wasn't actually funny doesn't make it offensive or inappropriate. I made a bad joke. So what? That doesn't make me a bad person.

I don't like to be called offensive towards women by zultar who has himself shown to hold rather disconcerting - especially given his moderation powers - sexist believes on more than one occasion. I take pride in being a proponent for women's rights and emancipation so when some adolescent (which I now assume zultar must be) sexist moderator, ill-informed about women's issues, calls me offensive towards women then I take insult at that and I will have my say to the contrary.

As for the community having rallied against me, I don't care. I'm my own man and I'll decide for myself what I think, say or do. I'm not some approval seeking, conformance horny sheep that just wants to be liked by everyone. Also, the community did not rally against me at all. They just said my joke wasn't funny, which indeed it wasn't. Criticizing the joke does not equate rallying against the joker.

CommanderByron (801 D(S))
31 Jul 14 UTC
@Oscar you "made a bad joke" , thats all the mods are saying and zultar. They asked you not to post a "bad joke" again. The community asked you not to post a "bad joke" again. They didnt lock your thread, silence, or ban you. What are you looking to achieve?
oscarjd74 (100 D)
31 Jul 14 UTC
@CB

I get why you are saying that, since you haven't seen what zultar sent me in PM. A short quote from that PM: "Second, it is offensive to women. Many women would find that kind of talk very offensive and off putting.
Third, this site is an international site and people from other cultures would find that kind of talk brash and offensive."

He presumes to know what women are offended by, but instead pushes them in the traditional gender role of needing a white knight in shining armor (zultar) to defend them. I'm sorry but this kind of implicit gender role bias is way more offensive and hurtful to women than any joke you can ever make involving women.

He then goes on to invent some fictional "other cultures" acting as though he is also the expert on their sensitivities.

All this imagined offense that "other" people are taking in zultar's fantasy world are IMO a rather obvious and cheap ploy to put himself on a moral high ground by debasing me as an insensitive jerk.

I'm sorry but I'm rather intolerant of males that see women as weak helpless creatures that need their protection telling me that I am the one that's offensive towards women. And thus I go out of my way to expose their implicit sexist beliefs, partly (in this case) to defend myself but mostly in hopes to make them more aware of their own misogynism such that they may improve themselves on that front.

@Oscar- You still havent answered the question. What do you expect to get from this crusade. Validation? Yes your point is valid, but not strong enough for anyone else to desire to carry this torch. Oscar all I am saying is this is a losing battle for you. You will get nothing in the end. The comments will still be there, and your joke will still not be funny. Unfortunately for women there aren't any on this site to express disgust with your joke personally. You are suggested people should defend themselves and noone should stand to their defense? So if I were at a gathering and overheard someone slandering your mother and stood to her defense when she was not present you would not welcome that?

I believe he's complaining about a double standard and trying to get a bit of support for said complaint.

Best strategy for Italy?
Unfortunately for me, I seem to play Italy quite often in my games. The first supply center Italy gets is Tunis, but what do you do after that? I searched some strategies for Italy on the internet an there were many conflicting viewpoints. One person argued that making an alliance with Austria and playing subtle, patient moves until you have an opportunity to back stab France was the best. What do you think? Is this true or not?

koolaid story
When I was 10. I invited my best friend Matt over to spend the night. We wanted something to drink and luckily my mother bought 150 packs of powder koolaid. We had to of consumed about 8 gallons koolaid. We had the biggest sugar rush ever. I guess a a certain point we both past out. We woke up the next morning and my room looked like a bar after a fight. Matt and I had a headache that nobody should ever had. My mom walked in and laugh. she asked" Did you guys get koolaid drunk?"
