How Modern life has turned men into wussies

[Solidus]

Wow . Did the camera just catch them at a bad angle?

Back when "men were men," according to a particular tiny snapshot of recent history. Looks like more of the same "the last generation was better, this generation sucks," that has been going on since the dawn of humanity.

real men kiss other men

Bahahahahahahah! @ pic

@ statement - ... I thought this was wussie chat, not why men kiss men. That's a different subject.

Yeah but that's because generations thought differently on how things were. Sorta like people thought swords were better killers than guns and horses better than cars (IMO still are, water and grass are free if ya own the land. lol). Things that make thing easier is what separates hardship. Making the Man of the 19th century do more while the other of this less.

But honestly much hasn't changed but computers took the tuff stuff out.

It's the lack of physical exercise that is mainly responsible for turning men into wussies. First it was the automobile, then the computer, and now the cell phone, so people don't even have to walk to make a phone call.
Most people had to be a lot more active in their daily lives just to get everyday things done. Now there are gyms that people drive to in their cars where they make a special effort outside of their normal activities. People would be better off bicycling to their destinations, and then get their exercise and their traveling done at once.

Children have been playing video games when most children used to play outside most of the time, and get sunshine and exercise.
There is a lot more obesity in America than ever.

You don't have to be physically strong to be a man.

You don't have to be straight either.

In the 19th century, philosophy turned away from the rationality of the 18th century Enlightenment and reverted to the hyper-emotionalism of Romanticism. Whereas before, reason and sense perception were considered the proper way to comprehend reality, the new perspective decided that inner experience was the true path to knowledge. This way of thinking culminated in the early 20th century's political upheavals in Russia, Germany, Italy and Spain.

In the U.S., it manifest in the pragmatism of William James and John Dewey. It held sway in educated political circles in the 20's, but did not have a noticable effect on the public until the post-WWII era. It manifest initially in the Beat movement, but came to it's first climax in the late 60's cultural revolution. It revived again after the Reagan 80's and gained political expression with the election of Bill Clinton. In the same way that Reagan's election was a reaction against the bankruptcy of the Carter administration, Bush's election was a reaction to Clinton. Bush's failures brought things full circle and Barack Obama was elected.

No, this has nothing to do with one generation lamenting the young on account of some knee jerk historical reaction. History ebbs and flows according to the cultural primacy of reason vs. the cultural primacy of emotion, and a man who allows his emotions to rule his mind has no right calling himself a man.

I concur.

Plus, testicles. Ideally two of them

and a Vulcan who allows his emotions to rule his mind has no right calling himself a Vulcan.

 

[devilof76]

I know women who have more right to call themselves men than does 90% of Europe.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Russian women are tough

 

[devilof76]

I only know American women.

I concur.

And it's not like living by reason means that you have to suppress emotion, but for some, the mere suggestion that their emotions aren't the revealed truth is an attack on their essential being. If it weren't for their feelings, they'd have no identity at all.

That's a shame, there's these Czech sisters who live in my building, the nicest, most easygoing ladies i've ever met.

 

[devilof76]

Is there medication you can take to keep yourself on topic?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Probably, there's alot of medicines out there

 

[devilof76]

Alot isn't a word.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I appreciate the clarification.
