The Vagina Monologues: A Wake Up Call for Men?
http://www.vday.org/v-men/okun

Will men ever “get it?” That’s the thought that came to mind when the male owner of an Amherst, Massachusetts karate center spearheaded a drive in the local and national media to try and prevent female students from presenting The Vagina Monologues at Amherst Regional High School the night before Valentine’s Day.

Those supporting both women’s empowerment and men redefining masculinity owe the play’s local critic, Larry Kelley, a thank you for illuminating the need to bring more men into this crucial conversation. Certainly, Eve Ensler’s play is about women’s lives. But it’s also about men waking up to women’s reality.

no, not happy valentines day, that was for when we were deep in the oppressive society of men. its no longer Valentines day, the women decided to change it. if not, they certainly didn’t try to stop it. that and the vagina monologues is a winner for this holiday. (nothing like gay lesbian drugged pederasty to make a holiday liberating)

if anyone is wondering why my attitude is so strong
all this kind of thing hs led to my first TIA (stroke)
the office the put me in is now literally killing me
despite having good blood pressure, no diabetes, none of the risks, and being under 50…

two years in this temporary space…
and no lawyer will help.. i am a class that everyone hates and so the jury will punish me for not wanting to be punished for social justice.

this is wrong…
thats the excuse to justify things..

why not check how much money germanyactually paid rather than assuem they paid and turned their pockets inside out.

Germany puts Versailles behind it with final reparation payment

Ninety-two years after the end of the First World War, Germany will finally put the spectre of the Treaty of Versailles behind it this Sunday with its last payment stemming from reparations.

Germany is to pay €69.9 million this Sunday — which coincides with the 20th anniversary of German reunification — as a final payment on the massive debt it owed to the Allied countries after the war ended in 1918.

The payment, which covers interest on bonds issued by the German government, will bring to an end the country’s financial obligations covering the destruction wrought by WWI, the Federal Office for Central Services and Unresolved Property Issues told news magazine news magazine Der Spiegel on Tuesday.

Under the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, the victorious allies ordered Germany to pay 132 billion Reichsmarks — a little under €300 billion in today’s money — a sum that crippled the already battered nation.

how did it cripple them when the last payment was made 20 years later and after a second war?

However, under the control of Adolf Hitler, Germany stopped outstanding deliveries of coal within a few years, thus violating the terms of the Treaty of Versailles

Part I of the treaty was the Covenant of the League of Nations which provided for the creation of the League of Nations, an organization intended to arbitrate international disputes and thereby avoid future wars.[27] Part XIII organized the establishment of the International Labour Organization, to promote “the regulation of the hours of work, including the establishment of a maximum working day and week; the regulation of the labour supply; the prevention of unemployment; the provision of an adequate living wage; the protection of the worker against sickness, disease and injury arising out of his employment; the protection of children, young persons and women; provision for old age and injury; protection of the interests of workers when employed in countries other than their own; recognition of the principle of freedom of association; the organization of vocational and technical education and other measures”[28] Further international commissions were to be set up, according to Part XII, to administer control over the Elbe, the Oder, the Niemen (Russstrom-Memel-Niemen) and the Danube rivers.

They referred to the treaty as “the Diktat” since its terms were presented to Germany on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. Germany′s first democratically elected Chancellor–Philipp Scheidemann–refused to sign the treaty and resigned.

After Scheidemann′s resignation, a new coalition government was formed under Gustav Bauer. President Friedrich Ebert then asked Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg if the army was capable of any meaningful resistance in the event the Allies decided to renew hostilities. If there was even the slightest chance that the army could hold out, Ebert intended to recommend against ratifying the treaty. Hindenburg–after prodding from his chief of staff, Wilhelm Groener–concluded the army′s position was untenable. However, rather than inform Ebert himself, he had Groener cable the army′s recommendation to the government. Upon receiving this, the new government recommended signing the treaty

The treaty was signed on June 28, 1919 and ratified by the National Assembly on July 9 by a vote of 209 to 116

The German economy was so weak that only a small percentage of reparations was paid in hard currency

this is from wiki… so if they didnt take hard currency, then how did it cause hyperinflation?

Nonetheless, even the payment of this small percentage of the original reparations (132 billion gold marks) still placed a significant burden on the German economy

Although the causes of the devastating post-war hyperinflation are complex and disputed, Germans blamed the near-collapse of their economy on the Treaty, and some economists estimated that the reparations accounted for as much as one-third of the hyper-inflation

in other words… if you study the history, the idea that this was causing the problem was what hitler was telling the people, so that they would be willing to fight back at what was causing their pain.

the idea has stuck ever since.
and the treaty is blamed, not hitler…

but its hitler, not the treaty that did it…

and here is what ACTUALLY happened

In March 1921, French and Belgian troops occupied Duisburg, which formed part of the demilitarized Rhineland, according to the Treaty of Versailles. In January 1923, French and Belgian forces occupied the rest of the Ruhr area as a reprisal after Germany failed to fulfill reparation payments demanded by the Versailles Treaty. The German government answered with “passive resistance”, which meant that coal miners and railway workers refused to obey any instructions by the occupation forces

In 1919, the dissolution of the General Staff appeared to happen; however, the core of the General Staff was hidden within another organization, the Truppenamt, where it rewrote all Heer (Army) and Luftstreitkré¤fte (Air Force) doctrinal and training materials based on the experience of World War

wait… thats the same time the treaty was signed!!!!

not after the treaty supposedly hurt the economics

it would have, but war was not the only result that could have been. if you study the details, you will notice that preparations towards conflict and war and other thigns were made right from 1919 onwards with games of hiding things…

(so keep thinking the country that taught hitler and others is not hiding things… (russia))

On April 16, 1922, representatives of the governments of Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Rapallo Treaty at a World Economic Conference at Genoa in Italy. The treaty re-established diplomatic relations, renounced financial claims on each other and pledged future cooperation

and THIS is what created the war
the dirty DIKTAT drove germany into bed with soviet russia… and the two dirtiest socilaist leaderships decided, why pay, why even do all that, lets just take it all and in a short while decided to carve it all up.

so it wasnt the reparations that created that.
the reparations created the joint cooperation between what would become nazi germany, and soviet union in a pact…

In 1932, the German government announced it would no longer adhere to the treaty’s military limitations, citing the Allies’ violation of the treaty by failing to initiate military limitations on themselves as called for in the preamble of Part V of the Treaty of Versailles.
In March 1935, under the government of Adolf Hitler, Germany violated the Treaty of Versailles by introducing compulsory military conscription in Germany and rebuilding the armed forces. This included a new Navy (Kriegsmarine), the first full armored divisions (Panzerwaffe), and an Air Force (Luftwaffe).
In June 1935, Great Britain effectively withdrew from the treaty with the signing of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement.
In March 1936, Germany violated the treaty by reoccupying the demilitarized zone in the Rhineland.
In March 1938, Germany violated the treaty by annexing Austria in the Anschluss.
In September 1938, Germany, with the approval of France, Britain, and Italy, violated the Treaty by annexing the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia.
In March 1939, Germany violated the treaty by occupying the rest of Czechoslovakia.
On 1 September 1939, Germany violated the treaty by invading Poland, thus initiating World War II in Europe.

so what happened was that germany proceeded on a war plan from day one… the treaty pushed hitler and stalin together… and like two sociopaths with greed in their minds, they made a deal to take it all by force.

stalin emboldened hitler so that once he got back the land the treaty and invasion took, it was easy to egg him on to take more, especially when the other side of poland was to go to russia. poland (if you study the history) had a long period of domination over those countries inthepast, and so they all disliked poland…

who says they are unintended?

do you think that they would admit intention and then give up the old excuse for getting what they want and tricking the people as an accident?

how many times can you have an accident that benifits your agenda before morons realize that its a trick?

oh… i dont know… i am still waiting for them to realize two things… its a trick and the rules changed…

Sex Week at the University of Chicago

The University of Chicago, often compared to Harvard, Yale and Stanford for the level of its academic excellence, is hosting a Sex Week chock-full of events graphically teaching techniques that, in a more innocent time, were considered private matters. Some examples include workshops titled: “Great Oral Sex with Tea Time and Sex Chats,” “The Perfect Vagina,” “Anal 101,” and “Sex Ed for Kids.” Why, there’s even a musical titled “Genitalia the Musical.”

The worst? “Sex Ed For Kids,” which asks, “How do we talk about sex and its related concepts of choice, gender, and desire to our kindergartners?”

According to the university’s official webpage, the oral-sex symposium will include discussion on “going down on men and women, techniques as well as individual differences and sexual health practices. Yes, expect tea.”

this will definitely make women ready for STEM…
and i guess our men can become male hookers as they are not allowed or funded for science, technology, engineering, or mechanics…

Quite a gal.

Our aunt and our mother were country club Episcopalians, and crack shots with the .22 rifle as well. It’s a Southern thing. 😉

He and his young friends used to cycle to the New Orleans streetcar stops to watch the ladies boarding the streetcars — they would delicately hoist their skirts to climb aboard, and catching a glimpse of a lovely ankle was quite a thrill for a young man.

Our grandmother Blanche (b. January 10th, 1900) was a flapper, a principal dancer with the Cinncinnati Ballet in 1920-1922 (we have the fabulous photos to prove it), and taught us the Charleston when she was 82. She could still kick higher than the back of our Queen Anne chair at that age! and she would never be caught dead in trousers, very proud of her great legs. Always a lady, too, and don’t you forget it.

She told us the Ballet was made up of amateurs, young ladies: paid professionals on the stage were considered scarlet women. Their costumes were provided by the company, but you had to bring your own pointe shoes.

Neo, she told us how to get even with a male dancer who was behaving badly: when he partners you, just go slightly slack as he lifts you: she said mischievously that it would make him look like he was straining to lift twice your weight.

She was an ardent fan of Baryshnikov’s, in particular, and gave us granddaughters ballet books for Christmas and birthdays. Her daughter’s daughter thrilled her by joining the Southern Ballet company in Atlanta (though Cousin Julie quit when she was 18, to save her feet).

Blanche was a blend of classic and modern ladyhood; always so elegant, but with a flair and a love for theatrics. I really miss her.

The unrealistic burden on Germany was Mercantilism.

Peeling through the documents, the French and British wanted reparations that, they hoped, would be paid in gold — even as they, themselves, practiced a full-tilt mercantilist trading regime.

Restated: they wanted Germany to be excluded from their trading blocs — particularly their home markets — while somehow managing to spin German exports into gold by selling to the rest of the planet.

This, in an era when Britain and France had h u g e overseas dominions that constituted the primary market destination for German prewar manufactures.

The only major market open to Germany was America — of whom Germany normally ran a trade deficit. (Massive food imports turned that tide. German luxury autos were half a century away into the future.)

After WWII, Truman fundamentally reversed every one of these policies. Hence, the Truman Plan. ( nee Marshall Plan )

(Truman made the policy and wrote the speech — and had General Marshall deliver it verbatim. He explained: Congress will NEVER fund it if my (HST) name is on it.)

Consequently, the general received the Nobel Prize for Peace.

BTW, the treaty provisions did not trigger German hyper-inflation. That spendist policy was directed at maintaining WWI war fighting infrastructure — to wit — the German national railroad system. It was as huge for them as American medical spending is for us today: off the rails.

The Treaty of Versailles was the peace settlement signed after World War One had ended in 1918 and in the shadow of the Russian Revolution and other events in Russia. The treaty was signed at the vast Versailles Palace near Paris – hence its title – between Germany and the Allies.

The war to end all wars ended at the surrender of the German empire in 1918. You are totally off base on this. The Treaty of Versailles came about after the war ended and placed an unrealistic economc burden on Germany. This burden of unrealistic reparations to France and the UK placed Germany in an untenable situation which lead to the economic collapse of the country, hyperinflation, and the subsequent turn toward the solution offered by Hitler. Hitler’s solution was rearm and ignore reparations. Sieg Heil!
