happythoughts 0 #52 June 12, 2006 QuoteHEY!! I missed this little jab the other night (ok too much wine). There is a perfectly good reason I chose Sartre and it did not occur to me that anyone would even know who he was, let alone mistake me for a guy. His g/f was Simone De Beauvoir. Both philosophers, but I thing that she's a little more practical and "real world". That makes her better for me than Sartre. Amazingly honest about women. Most philosophy books have more dreamy illusions than a Harlequin novel. That, or a tendency to only talk about the facts that support their view.

sartre 0 #53 June 12, 2006 Well, hell. I didn't think of Simone. But I am amazingly honest about women. And my real first name is French. Of course, I'm amazingly honest about everything. Well, I call it that. Others just say I'm an opinionated bitch. Semantics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith 0 #54 June 12, 2006 QuoteHello, my name is Sartre, and I'm an alcoholic. A former coworker, we'll call her Sue, once told me a story from when she was a day care provider. One of the mothers dropped her daughter off at day care and told Sue she was concerned her daughter was watching too much TV - presumably at home. Apparently they were standing in line at the grocery store the night before and her little girl turned to the guy behind them and said, "Hi I'm Amy and I'm an alcoholic."Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J.

sartre 0 #55 June 12, 2006 Keith!!!! How the heck are you? I was wondering where you were! Your story is funny. Reminds me of one a corporate exec told us (I'm thinking now she probably had heard it elsewhere and it didn't really happen to her). She said she knew that her and her family went out to eat too often when someone asked her 3 year old what his last name was, and he said, "Smith-party-of-four".

happythoughts 0 #56 June 12, 2006 In The Second Sex, she says things about women that few women (especially feminists) will admit today because some stuff doesn't portray women in a flattering light. That is when the truth becomes difficult. I don't have to agree with everything that a writer says, but I still want to discuss it. Any "philosopher", speaker, or writer, who fears the truth, is only pandering to their audience. You can make a lot of money doing it, look at any daytime talk show.

sartre 0 #59 June 12, 2006 Quotefrom Happythoughts In The Second Sex, she says things about women that few women (especially feminists) will admit today because some stuff doesn't portray women in a flattering light. That is when the truth becomes difficult. The truth is always difficult. We all want to hear what we want to hear, but it's not always the truth. The only way we learn about ourselves is by admitting the truth. As for the so-called feminists, the problem I have with feminists is when I feel I'm being told to get rid of my femininity. Hell, men and women are different-thank God!!!!. I think I can be an independent, assertive woman and still enjoy being a woman. Being a woman does not mean emulating a man. In my opinion anyway.

I'm thinkin' you're right. Quote Keith sartre you opinionated bitch. I'm good, how the heck are You? Oh Keith, I love it when you talk dirty to me!! My ex-husband used to try to get at me by calling me a bitch. Being called a bitch has never bothered me. I told him, yep, I am a bitch when I need to be!! Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do. But for the most part, I let the bitch hang loose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #60 June 12, 2006 A woman walks through the front doors. She takes a seat in a back row and observes. Things seem calm and uneventful. She sees people talking with others and they seem genuinely interested in helping them. Finally, she decides that she needs to make a bold move. She stands up and says, "Hello, my name is Sartre, and I'm an alcoholic." The person behind the desk says, "That's nice, but this is AAA." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do. But for the most part, I let the bitch hang loose. I was stopped at a stop light once. A young "woman" hung her head out the passenger window of the car next to me and yelled something at me so I rolled down the window. I asked her what she said. She must have noticed the rainbow sticker ont he back of my truck because she said, " I said Fuckin' FAGGOT." I said, "And?" She said, "and I'll bet you suck dick too don't you. I said, "I wouldn't be a Fuckin' Faggot if I didn't now would I." She said, "EEEwwwww." Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
