Why would you pay $143 for something you could do yourself? I don't get it. Even if your attempt at wrapping is poor, it's still better than paying for it.

Sticks48 comments on Dec 6, 2018:

We're not fucking automatrons! I believe unconditional romantic love is very, very rare. Christians as far as I can tell don't really love God as much as they fear his wrath. That ain't love.

Pet Sounds v Sgt Pepper.

Marionville comments on Dec 22, 2018:

Neither would be high on my list...there are so many others I wouldn’t know where to start. Do you want us to make a choice between the two? Sgt. Pepper in that case. Is this the post you tried to do earlier?

Sticks48 replies on Dec 23, 2018:

@Geoffrey51 I think of Pet Sounds as groundbreaking for the Beach Boys, because it was their first grown up album. Sgt Pepper was way different than anything I had heard up until that time. Sgt Pepper all the way.

Really?

@glennlab I was here. I moved to Austin in 71. I watched it all happen. It was unbelievably fast. The music scene was the driving force, but it only took a couple of years to transform that city. Of course it isn't weird anymore. It likes to think it is, but that was gone by the turn of the century. Thank goodness that lower drinking age didn't last long. That was a fiasco.

Pet Sounds v Sgt Pepper.

Sticks48 comments on Dec 22, 2018:

George Martin by leaps and bounds. I still hear stuff on records that George Martin and the Beatles did all that time ago. Some of these players don't even realize where it came from. Brian Wilson did Pet Sounds because of the stuff he heard the Beatles doing.

Sticks48 replies on Dec 22, 2018:

@Geoffrey51 I didn't mention Sgt Pepper. I am repeating what Wilson himself said about the inspiration for Pet Sounds.

Men have a way of dealing with rejection poorly.. by spreading rumors. I would take that with a grain of salt and find out yourself. Ultimately it’s her body and life. You can appreciate her as a friend with her choices or not.

Sticks48 replies on Dec 22, 2018:

@Jolanta That is the point. How often does that happen to men? I suppose if two women ask a man out and he turned down one, you could say he turns down half of them. That really isn't the point. I don't think anyone should go out with someone they don't want to. We were discussing the amount of times men face rejection, because 90% of the time we are the ones expected to do the pursuing. I also don't believe it is a picnic to have to turn someone down. The mating game is difficult at its easiest, and a nightmare at its most difficult.

Sticks48 replies on Dec 22, 2018:

Whether you like what they did, they were the most influential producer and band in popular music history, hands down. They not only changed the way people recorded, they changed the way people wrote songs. They changed the way people did concerts, forcing sound companies to design better and larger PA systems. No one will ever have that impact on the whole industry again.

@Jolanta You don't have to be a woman, you just have to spend half of your single and pay attention. Women ask men out ALMOST NEVER! Not exactly a secret.

Sticks48 comments on Dec 22, 2018:

It is the same with men. These one sided postings about men and women in relationships is getting tedious. Relationships have to be equal in responsibility, respect, love, and friendship.

Sticks48 replies on Dec 22, 2018:

@Cutiebeauty I really don't take much of anything on this site to heart, but l do pay attention. Men and women do agree on a lot of things once you get around all the platitudes and really communicate with each other. Evidently, easier said than done.

@Cutiebeauty Maybe you aren't paying attention, but the ratio is not close. Most of these memes are aimed at what men can do better in relationships. They should be about what people can do better in relationships. The vast majority of these memes are serious not humorous. l have absolutely no problem with the funny ones.I make more fun of myself and men in general than l ever do the women.

@Green_eyes I apologise. I promise, l have never said anything bad about someone who rejected me. You can't make someone feel something they don't, I would rather be the one being rejected, than the one doing the rejecting. I find disappointment or pain easier to deal with than guilt from hurting someone.

Sticks48 replies on Dec 22, 2018:

And women don't? Since 90% of the time it is up to us to do the pursuing, how much rejection do women really put up with compared to men. It isn't even close. Most women wouldn't leave the house if they put up with the amount of rejection men face in the world of being single. Since l have been single half of my adult life, l am well versed on this subject. ☺
