Role models for younger men. Sure to cause some disagreement
Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 11:31 AM by WileEcoyote
Today's young men and boys, might be better served to find role models more like Derek Sanderson and less like Homer Simpson.

Sanderson was a pugilistic, aggressive, and a near world class hockey center for the Boston Bruins in the late sixties and early seventies. Violent to the extreme and usually well paid for it.

A monster in other words. We loved him in Boston. Old timers still do.

Despite being forced out of hockey due to two ruined hips and a horrendous drinking problem I still find Sanderson a good role model. Generally speaking. Sure he stood for violence but at least he stood for something.

Today's poor boy often has to choose between being a shoe clerk, warehouse worker, bank teller or truck driver. If he can find a job at all that is. None of these jobs are well suited to making men out of boys. The world doesn't have much use for real men anymore. We're all poorer for it.

Today the places we send traditional, aggressive men are the armed forces or prison. Not very useful alternatives. To put it mildly.

In more traditional times guys like Sanderson were hunter warriors. Defenders of their tribe. Undaunted by adversity and often fighting savagely to their own personal deaths. As men were originally designed to do for the cause. If necessary. Much useful and well regarded.

Now we throw them out with the trash. Don't fit the corporate design model.

Men: Every now and then do you ever feel that you're you're running a bit low in the gonad department? It is my opinion that ALL here would be well served to watch Sanderson in the following motivating drama here:

2. Nope, and the theme is a worthy one. Newt Neutered us all.
With labels like soft, and liberals not being for confrontations etc. Give me twenty Graysons, Weiners and even Waxmans and we would have our way with rethugs. I am one that finds liberals recoiling from my directly meeting the enemy with equal smash. Most of them cry, and pout, as liberals arent still supposed to have the agressive gene. The men so described, are alive yet a little longer in the trades. Cubicles, not. I would love to see a bareknuckle brawl. With liberals finally able to purge their inner wimps. Greedy old men are no match for aggressive, commited young men. Without the Roberts treason. This coming campaign, better see scrappers, or the big lies, so carefully nurtured, will win. Harsh, direct, in their face calling of LIAR. And idiotic drivel, should supplant much of the mealy mouthed hemming and hawing.

3. Just about says it all Gman
What was Dr. Sarvis without George Hayduke?

Well both are fictional characters I suppose. But the point being valid.

I think that so-called "education" exist primarily to neuter the male human. They do it to dogs, cats, steers, and horses. So their next "logical" step was to neuter half the species of Homo Sapien. And those that rebelled?

These found prison or wars.
