Modern double standards...

[LovebirdsFlying]

I've noticed one. When a man says, "My wife is my better half. I'd be nothing without her. She made me what I am," people tend to think, "What a sweet, sensitive man. How nice, he appreciates his wife." But turn it around and let a woman say, "My husband is my better half. I'd be nothing without him. He made me what I am." See how fast she's labeled "codependent."

Thoughts on this or any other double standards?

My favorite double standard is the one the world reserves solely for Christians. If you're a Christian you can't commit a sin. If you do, you're a hypocrite and don't practice what you preach.

One word femanism, the tide has turned.

Yeah I got one. This goes out to all the creditors that harrass people when they are unable to pay their bills due to financial hardship. especially now with the economy the way it is.

The person in debt is responsible for payment or court action may be taken, but lenders can be bailed out by the government which ultimatley comes out of our taxes.

No doubt. With the whispers of CC companies being the next to seek government help, it bugs me to no end. I get at least five, pre-printed apps every week. Why that isn't illegal boggles my mind.

Of course, I return the postage paid envelope to make sure they help keep the post office funded and that their irritating snail mail spam is as costly for them as possible. The key to that is not including the app in the envelope. Those I shred.

You'd think the interst the CC companies charge would be enough!
