Regarding the last post. It looks like that post is so popular that it crashed the rest of his website. Scary stuff that there is such a reponse to a post like this.
Mostly because it is true.
We’ve turned into a land of feelings instead of actions. Its more important to feel your pain than to fix it. Ahh, what disgusting times we live in.
The WWII generation had real men in it. Men of action. Deeds not words, so the saying goes from Megaforce. Then the 60’s experiment. What went wrong? In the old days you were afraid of offending someone because they would kick your ass. Now you’re afraid they’ll sick the lawyers on you. What made that generation of the 60’s so wierd, so clueless, so whacked out? Oh yeah, right, the drugs. Now they’re in charge of the entertainment industry, where they’re still doing all the drugs they can buy. Kim’s example:

And it doesn’t take much to see when all the things I love are being threatened: for instance, when Tim Allen’s excellent comedy routine on being a man is reduced to a fucking sitcom called Home Improvement. The show should have been called Man Improvement, because that’s what every single plotline entailed: turning a man into a “better” person, instead of just leaving him alone to work on restoring the vintage sports car in his garage. I stopped watching the show after about four episodes.

Nailed it. The show is funny on the surface, until you see that every little thing Tim does is wrong, and he has to get the “new way” from his wife, or his neighbor. That clarifies why I was always slightly turned off by that show, even though I also loved the initial comedy routine. No wonder Tim Allen is a left wing anti-war wuss now.
I will let it be known that real men find Most Extreme Elimination Challenge the funniest thing on television. While I find Queer Eye rather amusing also, the only thing I learned from it was to shave slower. They’re right in that taking a razor and quickly slashing at your face is bad. But old movies show real men who shave slow, usually with a straight razor. Beyond that there isn’t much that I’d prefer to do myself. Flannel and denim will always win over a new beret. Those worn out looking jeans look pretty disgusting. The best thing they do for the men on the show are clean their apartments and buy them new furniture.
Now people, its okay to tell dirty jokes. Even Shakespeare did it, and he wore tights. Its also ok to leer. And make approving comments about a fine woman’s figure.
Be a real man before all memory of it is forgotten. Not a caricature of a real man, but the real deal. Before we turn into one of those weird Sci-Fi societies where everyone walks around in white rooms wearing white jumpsuits and no one talks to or touches anyone else!
