Having conversed with Dr. Evil previously, on the finer points of women, I sensed that he felt he had the better perspective and argument where women are concerned, due to his employment as a part-time bouncer. Perhaps his judgment has merit because of the women encountered in a setting where a bouncer is required, but not all women frequent nightclubs.

In any event, Dr.Evil is a second string player when it comes to understanding women vis-a-vis my expertise. No one on this forum has the all-around understanding of the workings of the female mind that I possess.

Urhmm. First, allow me to admit that I love beautiful women, 99.9% would get a pass regardless of their t***sgressions if it were left up to me. I once read where the average guy is lucky if he has had a relationship with as few as six or eight women. I've had multitudes of relationships that far exceed six or eight.

I don't intend to write a complete treatise of my experiences. However, I'll share a couple of my intuitive observations. First: Women are the ultimate stalking predators. Ask any guy and the dumb ass will tell you that he pursued and won the hand of his lady, when, in fact, it was the exact opposite, she pursued him. The female does the choosing.

Second: Women have the uncanny ability, regardless of the circumstances, to always have themselves appear as the victim. Look no farther than the present #metoo crowd as evidence of that fact.

So there ya have it. I'll take this opportunity to also point out that, only I, with my super good looks (former)and superlative intuitiveness, could have delved into and gleaned the knowledge required by direct contact with the many fortunate women who had the pleasure, for a brief period in time, of being in my company, could have so astutely pointed out the obvious.

There were about 8000 firearms murders last year. Close to half were one criminal k*****g another. The "good guys with guns" are most effective in that case when they do nothing. The FBI estimates that firearms are used in the prevention of crimes about ten times as often as they are used to commit them. One does not have to shoot a malefactor to prevent a crime. often a crime is prevented because the criminal realizes that an intended victim is armed.
Your use of the number 35,000 includes suicides, accidents, self defense, justified shootings homicides and murders. The actual number of murders involving a non criminal victim is around 3000 per year.
There are 3142 counties or their equivalents (such as parishes) in the US. Last year, in more than half of them there were NO Murders. Something like 80% of the murders happen in about ten percent of the counties, leaving the rest of the country with a murder rate more like one of the European countries gun control advocates are always crowing about.
While we are on the subject, more than half of the murders happened in some 2% of the counties. In Alabama for instance, almost every single murder happened in either Birmingham or Mobile. The rest of the state has a murder rate about like the UK's. In Georgia, almost all of the murders happens in either Atlanta, Savannah or Macon. Three metro areas containing about 40% of the population contain about 90% of it's murders.
The good guys with the guns are doing just fine. Many times a crime is prevented because the criminal knows or suspects that his intended victim is armed.
You should also bear in mind that with a population of 320 million, our total murder rate from all causes is about 5:100,000. Consider that more than half are criminal victims, and that nearly half the time the murder involves one black k*****g another, and you have the reason. You can yell r****t all day long, it does not change the fact that b****s are 13% of the population and more than half the murder victims, and that some 94% of the time their k**ler is another black, almost always an urban male between the ages of 15 and 30. These are FBI statistics, not the Ku Klux Klan.
Another interesting fact is that w****s of Northern and Western European ancestry have almost identical murder rates no matter what country they are in. The murder rate for that demographic is almost the same in the US as it is in the UK, Norway, Germany, or Switzerland. Gun control or lack of it is not a factor.
The UK's murder rate in 1900, when there was no gun control, was lower than it is today, at least in England.
The murder rate in the US is half what it was 25 years ago, in spite of 40 million more people, 100 million more privately owned firearms, and more than 12 million concealed carry permits issued. Explain that. Mexico, with one third of our population (if you don't count all the wetbacks in this country) had twice as many total murders as we did last year and has 5 times our per capita murder rate.
Chicago is roughly one third white. They committed some 5% of the violent crimes last year. Wanna guess who committed the other 95%? (Hint, it wasn't Asians, who are probably the most law-abiding demographic in this country today.

This is an uncomfortable topic, but believe it boils down to both parties using what they have, he weath and power, her, sexual attractiveness to get what they want. Its a dangerous game to play, as usually one feels they put out more then they got. So ultimately they are both dumb adults, who if they had any dignity, would keep this crap in the closet, so I wouldnt have to hear about it. This bears no relation to actual rape, or abuse of children. Punishment for both parties, they should be put in the stockade and pelted with rotten food, for at least a week, for wasting our time. Shame, neither party should escape this very instructive growth opportunity.

Yes, this can happen. It happened to me when I was 19 years old. Was attending secretarial school. Took a jitney to get there one day and instead got taken deep into the woods. I was so scared I could hear my heart beating all inside the car. Thought he could hear it too and that if I didn't do it he would k**l me. Told my daddy and he handled him not so nicely. My dad went right on down to the jitney station and found him. A jitney is a car service like uber but at that time they were illegal. Everyone in the communities used them but like in everything else there were some bad guys who preyed on young girls. Very scary. I was absolutely terrified. So, yes, a woman can be forced to perform the act if she believes she will be k**led or hurt in some way if she doesn't comply. Never been so scared in all my life.

MIAMI — Supermarket giant Publix said Friday it has halted all corporate political contributions. The company made the announcement moments before a planned "die-in" protest organized by David Hogg, a vocal Parkland school shooting survivor.

Hogg and other gun violence activists were angered when news broke that the grocery store chain donated $670,000 over the last three years to Adam Putnam, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who once boasted he was a "proud NRA sellout."
