You missed my point about China and Russia. I am aware of history and current affairs. I clearly see them as competitors, but to freely call them enemies is careless behavior as he just classified 1.46 billion people as our enemies. It encourages the small-minded Us vs. Them mentality. No doubt it was purposeful because that type of mentality is popular as unthinking machismo will always sell well.

As I stated in my first post, I may have been hypercritical about "enemy". I think this will explain where I am coming from better regarding the word enemy.

China has actually been extremely market-oriented in their effort to secure resources. Other countries enjoy working with them because they demand nothing in return. I watch some interviews with citizens in Chad. The US had promised to build hospitals (still not built) and forced human rights, etc as conditions. (Not saying human rights is wrong, I'm just saying.) However, China comes in, does what it promises and requires no demands be met in its agreements. Would they claim resources by force? Probably, but right now they don't need to.

Seems I just coined "macha politics" here on the sift
And another 2 new concepts:
"mariano politics" and "mariana politics"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianismo
All four exist. But indeed machismo is relatively dominant these days. Not sure about the macho/macha ratio.

She also referred to "viagra" (interestingly ending with a female -a), which is a Male sexual dysfunction drug (a PDE5 inhibitor). The Female drugs are not yet popular
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Female_sexual_dysfunction_drugs
and not referred to.

This clip also reminded me of Michael Moore's Norway clip:

Machismo is the problem? More male politicians than ever are feminized weaklings.

The real problem is leftist sympathy for criminals and murderers. Endless second chances for the irredeemable.

The only way to "heal" a child rapist or gang scumbag is with death.

can't help but wonder why he didn't use the ladder to ascend

See that's the kind of idiotic, overtly male, machismo attitude that perpetuates the constant struggle of aggression between people who have to deal with actual people who actually pose a possible threat to their own safety and to the safety of others. Maybe if people weren't such dicks, then cops wouldn't always over-react.

I'm not condoning the actions of this cop, but we DON'T know the whole story of what happened, but it's very possible that any of these little kids could have had the same ridiculous attitude of putting his "front truck up the side of his head". Then what would you have said was unreasonable force? I promise you, it is possible to skateboard AND respect the law and authority. They don't have to be mutually exclusive just for the sake of fronting some bullshit attitude to show off for your friends.

Having had to step into the middle of a fight this weekend between a couple of jackasses whose neurochemical make up apparently consisted entirely of testosterone, I'm personally and recently sick to fucking death of overly aggressive douchebags. On both sides of the law. Fucking act right! These kids at least have the excuse that they are young and stupid.

When Joe Rogan first went ape shit on some college kid on myspace, I thought he was a douche. When Joe Rogan went after Carlos Mencia, I didn't care because Carlos Mencia still isn't funny despite the fact that he steals all of his material. Joe must be jealous that he gets to be the host of Fear Factor (canceled?), while Carlos has an entire show devoted to his horrible routine. Joe Rogan is a self-righteous asshat, but aside from that I do not like this perpetuation of the machismo as well as the testicular praise of the machismo. Between this, the Dr. Laura clip (Dr. Laura is a disgusting hate monger), and some of the comments I have continually read on this site I am becoming more angry and disgusted. The level of written aggression is startling. The mere title of this video "Joe Rogan vs. Feminist" might as well say "Joe Rogan reinforces that all women are cunts." This video has nothing to do with feminism (which EVERYBODY should be a feminist because everyone deserves equality and respect no matter what sex - men are feminists too), this video has everything to do with an altercation between two inflated egos. Joe's physical aggression towards Lydia is also appalling.

As a side note, if you are not familiar with Teenage Jesus and the Jerks you should be.

poor poor choggie, those brain cells don't regenerate. And the dork was trying to open the door while letting his car roll through. Apparently he didn't want to park, machismo kicking in.
