Regardless... I never changed my intent... you can keep thinking it, but what I wrote initially can be taken in many different ways... including how I explained it. I didn't change a thing. What changed was your perception. You didn't even know it was meant from a women's perspective in the first place.

Again if I must... What I said are results of alcohol and its possible and likely effects. That is all.
I am not trying to change your opinion or even argue against it, I am pointing out that you expressed in a way that failed to communicate it clearly - so much soi as to imply something else that is rather inflammatory.

Of course this would come up... and of course they should keep control of themselves to avoid it. I didn't blame the women exclusively. I blamed how they got to the point of letting their natural guard down.

What I said are results of alcohol and its possible and likely effects. That is all. I'm not standing down to that. Wrong time ? Only if you care. And obviously some people take offense when no offense was the intent. Calling people pr!cks for speaking their opinion is real nice... I can appreciate that... if I were in 4th grade.

Sorry Shark. Like I said, let the parade continue.

You need to get out into the real world mate, the OP was a joke, it was not meant to start a bloody debate about the effects of alchohol, yes people get into situations they normally wouldn't when under the influence but your comment made it sound as though alchohol was the cause of all the evils in the world and the main cause in rape, quite simply it isn't.

Oh and I didn't call you a pr!ck I called you a sanctimonious pr!ck, there's a difference

Talk about overanalyzing. Read again what I wrote in my first post... :roll:

Dear Penis,
I don't think I like anymore,
You used to watch me shave,
Now all u do is stare at the floor.
Oh dear Penis,
I don't like you anymore.

It used to be u and me,
A paper towel, and a dirty magazine,
That's all we needed to get by.
Now it seems things have changed,
I think that your the one to blame.
Dear Penis,
I don't like u anymore.

Now he sings,

Dear Rodney,
I don't think I like u anymore,
'Cause when u get to drinkin'
You put me places I've never been before.
Dear Rodney,
I dont like u anymore.

Why can't we just get a grip,
On our man to hand relationship.
Come to terms with truly how we feel.
If we put our heads together,
We'd just stay home forever,
Dear Penis,
I think I like you after all.

Oh and Rodney,
While yer shavin',
Shave my balls.

(Rodney Carrington)

There was a young man from Stamboul,

Who soliloquized thus to his tool:

"You took all my wealth

And you ruined my health,

And now you won´t PEE, you old fool!"

Name the book!
