Women are SCUM..I mean...GODDESSES!!!! Yeah, THAT's damn straight.

[ForrestGump]

Just wondering how it plays the other way.

Probably unfortunately, for me.

But I do have no shortage of empirical evidence that supports the statement. Ask me anything.



EDIT: title slightly tweaked in the interest of self-preservation

[havocmom]

1. Do you have really good insurance?

If not then DUCK!

[ForrestGump]

4. That's not a duck...it's a seagull

:D

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

:cry: :cry:

But I don't think men are scum, especially not mine....

[ForrestGump]

8. Darn this automated computer thingy

I typed "Woman are WONDERFUL AND SPECIAL AND I JUST WISH THAT I HAD POWERS OF INVISIBILITY SO THAT I COULD GO INTO THEIR CHANGING ROOMS EVERYONE WAS A WOMAN" and look what came out instead.

Actually, just wondering if I could prove a point -- the technical term is 'trolling,' I believe (also see "sh**-stirring," etc) -- but I probably shouldn't have. Especially 'cos I wasn't even offended, at all, by the original post...just wondering if everybody can see things for their context and intent as I saw her post. And, yes, he was scum. So are some females that I've known. People are scum, actually -- present company excepted. Give me animals any day, just not in the Rick Santorum way...

[greatauntoftriplets]

9. As SOteric says below....

(okay, to paraphrase) there are good and bad among both. I knew what you were doing.

[ForrestGump]

14. We all know that people are the same wherever you go...

There is good and bad
In everyone...

C'mon, you know the words!

:hug:

[SOteric]

3. Some people are scum. Some people are not.

Gender, creed, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, and preference for crunchy over smooth peanut butter notwithstanding.

[ForrestGump]

13. Ms teric!

:hi:

Are you elusive, or am I elusive? Either way, you hit the male nail on the head, perfectly, as always.

Though it's perhaps "most people are scum." Or maybe not. Just most who've been in my vicinity lately. The US would be a lot nicer place without Republicans. Bet I'm the first to say that!

:yourock:

[jus_the_facts]

5. Yo' Mamma.....

....even? :evilgrin:

Some are...but not all...same as men. :nopity:

[ForrestGump]

15. Hey, watch yourself!

I suggest a mirror with a good handle that'll really let you see what's going on down there. Rain-X will help keep it from fogging up.

:D

What? Hey, I watch myself all the time... :P

[alittlelark]

6. Sophisticated, Caring, Understanding, Marvelous.

S.C.U.M. You're right, Women are SCUM!

[ForrestGump]

16. Sexy, Cute, and Unbelievably Macho

Hey! I'm SCUM, too! :-)

[Misunderestimator]

7. Not scum, well, not all, but my empirical evidence supports my stance

that there are more men in the scum category than women :) But maybe, just maybe, I'm biased. :hi:

[ForrestGump]

17. Oh, sure, just 'cos YOU got a good one, rub it in my face

I'm waiting.

Still waiting.

No, I mean, really rub it in my face. :P

Would it help if I closed my eyes? :o

[Misunderestimator]

24. LOL.... Yes I have a really good one now...

but have been through too many not really good ones to count. :) This one has proved to me that there really ARE good ones out there... you may have to trudge through a lot of crap to find one, but when you do... oh man... really worth the trip. :) Are your eyes still closed?

[ForrestGump]

30. Eyes still closed, and hopes still up

:D

Yep, I trust that there're good ones out there. I already know good people from here, for a start.

I'd say that you're lucky, but I don't think that luck has anything to do with it...though, if I ruled the universe, you wouldn't have had to endure the alleged 'growth' and 'personal development' that is invariably said to acompany less-than-spendid previous pairings. I mean, we're not idiots -- at least not those of us on this board, by definition -- so why do we have to have all these so-called 'life lessons' demonstrated to us, often over a protracted period? I, for one, would have believed it and understood it all if I'd just read it. Shewt...

[Misunderestimator]

47. ForrestGump, I really like the way you think.

And I like you... :) I agree, that I could have done quite well without all the lessons. I chalk it up to some unknown karma from some unknown previous life. If someone wrote that book, I'd have been the first in line to buy it.

I guess the biggest advantage of having gone through all the messes, is that it makes me appreciate the one I'm with now so much more. No taking for granted here... uh uh.

[ForrestGump]

49. You're right. I guess it really IS all for the best, in the long run.

I hope -- I know -- that it's bliss for you, now, at least relatively (given that there'll still be Hummers to deal with in traffic, obnoxious sales clerks, the existence of Michael Bolton, etc).

And, in the absence of any rubbing, I've decided to rub myself. :D

Love starts with loving yourself, right? :o

[HEyHEY]

10. So are amobeas

[ForrestGump]

19. Hey, let's leave lawyers -- except for the

surfing-militant-lesbian kind -- out of it. :P

They skew the results.

[MaryBear]

38. What's a

"surfing-militant-lesbian"?

GB

[noiretextatique]

40. who is more like it

our friend here is referring to nothingshocksmeanymore :hi:

[ForrestGump]

43. nioretblu speaks the truth

As always. :-)

:headbang:

[izzie]

11. Yar?

[ForrestGump]

20. Nine

[HEyHEY]

12. The "Society for Cutting Up Men"?

[sundog]

18. scum manifesto

[ForrestGump]

21. PERSONinfesto, if you please

Shame on you! Exactly the kind of sick response I hoped to elicit!

[sundog]

22. glad to oblige & help you dig yourself a bigger grave

:P

[ForrestGump]

32. Thank you. I knew I could count on you.

Dude, read my lips... :D

[Book Lover]

23. Here's your link, Sparky

http://www.ai.mit.edu/~shivers/rants/scum.html

Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.

[sundog]

25. The SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solanas

It is now technically feasible to reproduce without the aid of males (or, for that matter, females) and to produce only females. We must begin immediately to do so. Retaining the male has not even the dubious purpose of reproduction. The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, it has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples.

[Book Lover]

33. I think this is the only other paragraph

I can post without these gender threads totally disintergrating into violent chaos :-) :

A completely automated society can be accomplished very simply and quickly once there is a public demand for it. The blueprints for it are already in existence, and it's construction will take only a few weeks with millions of people working on it. Even though off the money system, everyone will be most happy to pitch in and get the automated society built; it will mark the beginning of a fantastic new era, and there will be a celebration atmosphere accompanying the construction.

[ForrestGump]

35. Well, sticks and stones...

And how does 'Ann' Coulter fit into this?

[ForrestGump]

34. Hey....

I didn't know that my wife had a Web site!

[Book Lover]

36. Well, with that attitude, Spanky

it'll be ex-wife before long! :-)

[ForrestGump]

39. Well, that's kinda what I was hoping for when I filed the divorce papers

:P

[Book Lover]

41. Geez, I gotta keep up!

That info wasn't on my radar. All jokes aside, best of luck.

[ForrestGump]

44. Thanks! Not the most fun a body can have, though

perhaps the rest of my life will be. :-)

[Ellen Forradalom]

26. Women are Slum Goddesses!

I floated lonely down the street one day
Who did I see, slitherin' my way?
Slum Goddess from the Lower East Side
Slum Goddess gonna make her my bride

Not a chick in the world who is half as hip as she
My swinging little goddess from Avenue D
It's really very groovy to take her to a movie
Where we make it in the balcony
...

---The Fugs, "Slum Goddess"

[Misunderestimator]

27. Oh hey... I just noticed you changed the title...

you fickle man you. Just like a man. :D

[sundog]

28. no, he just chickened out

couldn't take the heat... folded under the pressure :7

[ForrestGump]

42. Gotcha male solidarity, right here

Traitor!

Turn over that remote control, right now! You're not worthy of it...

[sundog]

48. Yes! I'm leading the revolution against you Mr. Gump!!!

[ForrestGump]

51. Your revolting revulses me!

Or perhaps that 'repulses.' Either way, it's not good.

This is war!

Or, at the very least, stinging diplomacy!

Or perhaps heated discussions!

Or a severely-worded missive!

[ForrestGump]

37. Just like a woman to accuse me of that!

Oh, wait a minute...yeah, I did do that.

[supernova]

29. Frankly, I've been called worse

:hi:

Eh. What's one more trip to hell.

[ForrestGump]

45. Ms nova!

Where've you been?!

And where've I been, too?

:hug:

[supernova]

54. Hey there!

:hug:

I have been getting used to my new job and work schedule. Not much free time when you go to bed at 9pm. :sigh:

How are you, Forrest? Good to see you!

[ForrestGump]

55. Well, congratulations!

New job!

:party:

I hope that it's an Excellent Adventure, even if you're going to bed when most reasonable people are just getting up. Or is that just me?

:hug:

[buddhamama]

31. some evidence shows...

if Goddess statues are left to the elements for a prolonged period of time without proper care scum will result.

I betcha the groundskeepers are men!

[ForrestGump]

46. Buddhamama seizes the Middle Path!

50. Hear Ye Hear Ye

from the SCUM Manifesto by Valerie Solonas:

To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo. It's often said that men use women. Use them for what? Surely not pleasure.

Eaten up with guilt, shame, fears and insecurities and obtaining, if he's lucky, a barely perceptible physical feeling, the male is, nonetheless, obsessed with screwing; he'll swim through a river of snot, wade nostril-deep through a mile of vomit, if he thinks there'll be a friendly pussy awaiting him. He'll screw a woman he despises, any snaggle-toothed hag, and furthermore, pay for the opportunity.

[ForrestGump]

52. Shoot...I wish one'd use ME

:-(

[sundog]

53. damn you! hush! I'm busy inciting riots here!

[Susang]

56. What the hell did I miss?

Must have been quite the blowup, if judging from this thread and it's responses.

[JohnKleeb]

57. Its a copycat thread

Look further back for "MEN ARE SCUM" with some follow up copythreads like mine "WOMEN ARE YUM" and "MEN ARE DUMB", "MEN ARE FUN" and "MEN ARE NUMB" by others :D. I happen to agree with Gump btw :D, though sigh I was so damn shy tonight.
