Nice way to change America.

What's your story? Mine is below.

I am disappointed. I am fucking diappointed. I am disappointed with them all. All my fucking life, there have only been two men I've tried to mold myself into - Bill Clinton and John Edwards. If you didn't already hear, Edwards admitted to having an extramarital affair - all the while his wife was battling cancer. So, I guess all that tender and loving crap that he showed were just for show. I guess Edwards is just like others. To think - I looked up to both Edwards and Clinton - Edwards ESPECIALLY! I lost my respect for Edwards today.

You think Clinton was bad. He had a reputation for straying ...but at least he didn't fuck anyone when his wife was battling cancer. At least with Clinton, you EXPECT that he cheats.

I am getting to the point where I am molding my own political paths, without having to look up to any of these people. Do you remember that feeling of when you were a kid and realizing your parents aren't perfect or that your hero isn't a hero at all. Yeah, that's my feeling with Edwards now.

Perhaps it's the naivity in me, but I believe you can fuck whomever you want when you're not committing yourself to anyone. But if you have committed yourself, stick with it. Especially when your wife is battling cancer.

In the end, I am not America's Next Bill Clinton or John Edwards. I am going to be better than they were.

your hero isn't an hero at all

Perhaps it's the naivity in me

yeah, perhaps!

In the end, I am not America's Next Bill Clinton or John Edwards. I am going to be better than they were.

the national enquirer cover he chose has nothing to do with john edwards

Oooh, the Toronto Livejournal community has a Marc Loi as well, except his name is Joe

Nice way to change Canada.

In Book of the Dead, Marino's not so secret crush on Scarpetta comes to a head. He reacts badly to news of Scarpetta's engagement to Benton Wesley, and after getting drunk and under the influence of a testosterone drug, he attacks Kay and almost rapes her. His actions lead to a confrontation with Lucy and her almost shooting him, after which Marino disappears. It is unknown if he has killed himself or just runs away as the book ends.

Ah, almost rape!

inappropriate google ads on his blog are mildly lulzy - "Dating for Wealthy Men & Gorgeous Women. Seen on CH4, Richard & Judy" etc.

I checked out the site, and it's pretty disturbing.

Thanks, Jackie, for contributing. Double thanks to Brook for the nicely written article. Most of the time, I am introduced as "the guy who, when he becomes a politician, is going to ruin America." :)

As for the difference in culture - why marry someone with whom you have nothing in common? Perhaps it's just me, but I wouldn't want to marry someone who doesn't even speak my own language. Marriage is about sharing the same dreams and desires, and if you can't so much as communicate, it becomes kind of hard, huh? Marriage is about an exchange of many things, to include culture, and it becomes a one-way power play when the women of third-world nations are forced to learn our culture and ways of doing things, while at the same time, have to almost abadone their own cultures to fit in. Unless you're blind, you cannot deny how ethnocentric spouse support groups are on any military base.

Mix marriages? Again, don't read into things. I've never said anything about that.

Sex assault plan fails troops

The military, it appears, is slow-learning when it comes to preventing sexual assaults.

In a world where 1 out of 4 women will be sexually assaulted by someone she knows, it is mind-boggling that the military still insists on putting the responsibility of preventing sexual assaults on the potential victims.

In front of the post exchange here [at Camp Victory, Iraq], a big sign reads, "Where is your battle buddy? Prevent Sexual Assaults, Always Have a Buddy" — as if "buddies" cannot sexually assault one another.

Apparently, the military views rape as an act that only happens at night, committed by strangers lurking in the dark. Statistics, however, indicate that just like their civilian counterparts, soldiers will be assaulted in dorms and barracks or on dates, often by someone they know.

Rather than telling women not go out at night by themselves, thereby limiting their access to the public spheres, perhaps it would do the military well to teach men not to rape, and that "no" means "no."

As well, it seems the military’s message of consent is one that’s muddled in good old-fashioned misogyny and distrust of women. Instead of telling soldiers to get consent "in case she claims rape to save her military career," perhaps the military ought to start talking about the plights of rape victims and that no human being should ever face the horrors of rape.

Getting consent, after all, isn’t about preventing oneself from getting in legal troubles, but rather, respecting the wishes of a potential partner and fellow human being.

If military leaders truly wish to stop sexual assaults, they need to revamp the current prevention of sexual assaults program; it miserably fails soldiers. Although they make strange bedfellows, the military could learn a lesson or two about rape prevention from feminism.

Was not expecting that.

"All my fucking life, there have only been two men I've tried to mold myself into - Bill Clinton and John Edwards."

Weird goals.

we should teach men not to rape though, he has a point there.

ok now THIS is a good twist

yeah did not see this coming

Banks, historically, would not give loans to people with bad credit, minimum-wage jobs and a spotty financial history, and the neighborhoods these folks lived in were marked. This was called redlining. People often thought that redlining was racially motivated; however, it actually had everything to do with income and financial history.

loooooool

There's a lot of women in Iraq he can prevent other men from raping.

What's the twist? I thought it was established that he was in the military above.

Camp Victory contains two dining facilities; the "Sports Oasis DFAC", the larger of the two, and the "Coalition Cafe". There are also several chain restaurants, located near the PX, including a Pizza Hut, a Subway, and a Green Beans coffeeshop.

Has Loi ever pontificated on the furry fandom? That wd truly be as lulzy as can be.

Waiting for the Loi Takes On the Taliban chapter. Ought to be a good one.

^ Twist will be of course, him endorsing burquas because it's their only defense from rapists.

The women wearing the burquas, not the Taliban. Those guys can go get raped all they want.

in fairness that could be all otm, did not read

Twelve: Feminism is not a dating service - if you think women should fall all over you just because you're feminist, you're in the wrong movement. If, in the course of doing feminism, you happen to meet someone and you both want to date, then fine. But if you think feminism is a dating service, it doesn't need you, and you don't need it - you need to learn social skills as to not have to use feminism to get closer to women.

Kinda falls into the "not that I'd ever want to see you nude because I respect you as a person" category.

But hey, dude's probably 95% walking the walk and defending Iraq to boot, so what do I care?

Loi-brand feminism has a perverse fascination with dudes being boneheaded neanderthal anti-feminists by nature. It's like listening to one of those evangelical preachers who focuses on sin & the Fall of Man etc. Of course my clowning him on this thread would probably just further confirm whatever beliefs he has that contributes to his distrust of males but I'm in it for the lols man

it seems like some ppl run into a particular explanation for the way the world is when they're young and stick with it, for some it's 'anti-semitism' or 'the matrix' so this doubtless a net plus for the ppl in marc loi's life

If, in the course of doing feminism,

This is really, really on the money. He does appear to define himself as against what HE THINKS other people think like! Quite a bit part of what makes his spiel so annoying.

I think you mean "makes his spiel so lol-rrific"

quite a biG part, even.

It varies, I guess, NV? Sometimes, it's funny, sometimes JESUS STFU ALREADY.

I'm sure if I was sharing a tent with the guy it'd be JESUS STFU ALREADY but at this distance he's just some magnificent stuffed specimen of...something.

I guess to me, ppl who's steez is to tell you what you should be thinking reallky set my teeth on edge. Reminds me of radical veggie/huntsab guys who were on the periphery of my social circle back in the '80's. No fun to be w/.

Yeah, I guess "stuffed specimen of..something", I mean I haven't encoundered someone like that IRL since the '80's now I think about it.

lol University in the 80s....good times. I recently saw some photos of the Student Union in Hull circa 1990 and it was all NICARAGUA BENEFIT posters and debates about whether Blue Velvet shd be banned for misogyny. The same building today is all mobile phone ads and topless celebrity disco coke party nights. NB Am not saying the future is an improvement.

Yeah... I mean, a bunch of that shit was terribly over-analytical, prone to bossiness w/r/t the opinions you should have about a whole variety of shit, quite embarrassing in retrospect, but at the same time, preferable (as in: infinitely less depressing to contemplate) to adverts on bus shelters for the local spearmint rhino knockof peeler bar or ladmags or wtfe.
