In my experience, there's something wrong with your listening ears.

Sorry you feel that way. I am a happily married guy and honestly, love and affection was earned. I'm not rich and I don't have money but a decent woman just isn't going to go out with a scumbag. Why would she? It's OK for women to have standards too.

There's nothing you can do to earn it if she chooses NOT to give it is what I'm saying.

That's true. But why would she give it, if it wasn't even earned?

It's a fine point, I suppose, but, to me, your statement earlier implied that any guy can earn a specific woman's love, and she'll have to love him 'cuz he earned it. You left something out there, is the vibe I got. And I'd like to hear what the other guys think. Courage, now.

I didn't think I needed to point that out specifically, I thought that was understood already. But in my experience a woman just isn't willing to give her love to a guy unless he has earned and deserves it. To be sure, a guy who thinks he has "earned" a woman's love has no right or any sort of entitlement to such love. If she is unwilling to give the guy love, then it's her choice. But in all honesty, I just don't know of any women who just give away their true love and affection to just any guy out on the street who they don't even know. That would seem odd to me if they did. Nah, I have a very good marriage magiclaurie and I respect women. I don't want you to think I have little respect for women. I am very fortunate to have my wife. She has a heart of gold. Guys need to have standards too and quite frankly speaking, the most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or touched, buy can only be felt with the heart. check this out magiclaurie

Thank you magiclaurie. One of my Sergeants who looked out for us in Afghanistan and I was subordinate to posted this on his Facebook page. I still chat with him from time to time. I then copied it onto my Facebook page because I thought it was awesome.

If women didn't often make bad choices in love, there would be little literature, and probably very few people on the planet.
I grew up in North Carolina, the same age as Bob. I was 21 in 1970. I worked in the Civil Rights movement and the anti-war movement. I was an activist, not a hippie. I met many well-known people of the time, including Dorothy Day, Ralph Abernathy, Abbie Hoffman, Phil Berrigan, Cesar Chavez and Peter Yarrow. I went to jail in Civil Rights marches in the South and anti-war demonstrations in DC, New York and Philadelphia. It was a very exciting and distressing time. I did not disrespect the troops or the police, but fought hard against what I considered the unjust and evil war in Vietnam and Cambodia, and for the advancement of women, farmworkers, gay rights and all the rest of the cultural wars. I feel that the war is finally over, and that we won. I think America is a much better, freer, and more diversified and open place. I was always a big fan of Merle Haggard, and loved Okie from Muskogee. |

I disagree with you on that Pop.
There were some battles won, but the war is not over by a long shot. Union membership is down to 13% of workers, New York City is the most segregated large city in the country, the Scopes trial evidently settled nothing in some parts of the country, women in some states have no choice at all as to how they should plan their families, the military budget is larger than ever, income inequality is at a fifty year high, and so on. The line of history and progress is not straight. Like the frog in the puzzle, for every three steps up, we fall down two, and we aren't out of the well yet.

Back then, landmark, unions weren't allies of the counterculture. They represented the hardhats and the "America, Love it or Leave it"/"My Country Right or Wrong" crowd on the right. The Archie Bunkers were all pro-union then. Kind of ironic.

That's actually pretty funny, seeing how you ended your sentence with a comma.

Unions didn't represent the rich, like the counter-culture did, but rather, unions represented the working class. Generally, the working class tends to be patriotic, loyal and have some strong conservative values. While, many of the rich and wealthy I have encountered tend to be very well educated and LIBERAL! So when the lottery in the draft came out which made it more difficult for the rich to evade, then all the sudden opposition to the Vietnam War grew very strong. The millionaires who protested the war simply didn't want to go and fight in a war they started.

The counter culture represented the rich?????
Did you just make that up out of thin air? NOTHING could be farther from the truth. And millionaires were among those supporting the war because they were profiting from it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not to their own facts. |

I don't know if the counter culture represented the rich, but many rich I have encountered do tend to be liberal (they are very well educated too, after all, they have the money to afford going to some top notch schools). I also talked to some of the Vietnam Vets from that time period and one said that opposition to the Vietnam War really became strong when they instituted a lottery system in which it was more difficult for the rich to evade the draft unlike before the lottery was instituted.
