Spain has gone to far this time!

[The Weekenders]

And here I thought my contribution would send the thread in a specific weird direction....

[Tyler]

Castration is not as funny as poop though....
ok, that was juvenile
sorry

[The Weekenders]

sigh.....reduced to poop jokes.

[jsluder]

sigh.....reduced to poop jokes.

Well, husbands in Spain will be cleaning more toilets...

[fearfaoin]

Peter: I'm looking for a book about potty training for kids.
Clerk: Well, there's the ever popular "Everybody Poops." And the slightly less popular "Nobody Poops But You."
Peter: Well...we're Catholic, so...
Clerk: I see, then you want "You're Awful, and That's Concentrated Evil Coming Out of You".

One man to buy her things
One man to dance with
One man to fix things
One man to talk to
And...one man to have great sex with.

Whew! Nothing there about vacuuming or doing the dishes!

You see... the list was slightly misquoted...

One man to buy her things
One man to dance with the vacuum.
One man to fix things, like getting rid of the dirty dishes.
and
One man to talk to about having great sex... then, if he can do all that, he's worth getting on to the actual having of that great sex. (made all the better by the other actions' effects on her peace of mind and the direct connection of that to her libido)

So, let me get this straight... Give a woman money, clean her house, and talk to her, and then you might get to have sex?! Why not just go to a prostitute? Then, you can skip the cleaning and talking...

Oh yeah:

Maybe they oughta partially castrate every male at birth there. Might be simpler.

oooooooo....I'm so tempted. But I think I'll just let this one go

As for the new law, I can't help it. I'm just laughing my arse off. I think it's hilarious. Not that I agree with it (I'm not all THAT liberated, thank you ), but it seems too darn funny to mandate something like that. I shudder to think what might be the next thing to come down the pike

I'm thinking this is just another move--by the new socialist gov't--away from the male-Christian dominated society.

  Critics of the movement of the new Spanish government to liberalize the country might be forgiven for thinking that the real goal is to radically de-Catholicize the country. The list of initiatives taken by the Zapatero socialists could have been lifted straight from the Catholic Catechism’s list of the most popular modern sins. With over 80% of the country still claiming to belong to the Catholic Church, and with Spain’s recent history of anti-Catholic Marxist pogroms before the Franco regime, the impression becomes even stronger.
  
  Last month the world was awed by the millions who marched against the destruction of the legal supports for marriage. This month, the Spanish government is moving to allow human cloning for research. Health Minister, Elena Salgado, told the newspaper, El Mundo that the legislation will likely go into effect next year.
  
  Employing one of the most popular anti-Catholic slurs, Salgado gave away the government’s true motives behind much of their ‘liberalizing’ moves. “The Church has always been opposed to the advances of science, but fortunately science has continued progressing. And thanks to that we live in better conditions,” she said.
  
  Salgado also gave the now-standard disclaimer that the law would not allow “reproductive” cloning, using the long-discredited dodge that there is some moral improvement in killing an embryonic child rather than allowing it to have a chance to live.
  
  Since coming to power, Spain has abolished legal marriage, dramatically shortened the wait for divorce and enacted a law allowing researchers to use human embryos.
  
  The systematic imposition of policies opposed to the moral law which seem deliberately calculated to outrage Catholics, has even secular writers asking, “Is Spain going Marxist?” James Skinner, a writer on the website, Hackwriters.com, suggests that the current political movements in Spain, including its anti-Americanism and anti-Catholicism, parallels that of the days immediately prior to Castro’s take-over of Cuba. Some of Zapatero’s rhetoric before the last election was venomously anti-Bush and anti-American. At the time of the Madrid terrorist attacks, speculation about the timing just before a national election, was confirmed when the Socialists immediately acquiesced to the extremists’ demands and withdrew Spanish troops from involvement in the Iraq war.
  
  The Socialists’ foreign policies have been followed by a series of domestic moves following a hard-left programme of anti-Christian and specifically anti-Catholic pronouncements including immediately declaring Spain a “secular state.” The Zapatero government was the only one in the western world not to convey any condolences or greetings to the Vatican immediately following the death of Pope John Paul II.
  
  Catholics have genuine reasons to worry. Both Spain and Mexico have had violently anti-Catholic Marxist regimes in which priests, nuns and lay people were publicly executed for refusing to renounce their Catholic Faith.

... according to Jill Conner Browne, THE Sweet Potato Queen, there are five men every woman needs in her life:

One man to buy her things
One man to dance with
One man to fix things
One man to talk to
And...one man to have great sex with.

The structure and rhythm of the lines were oddly disturbing...then I realized what they reminded me of:

One Ring to rule them all,
one Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

And then the Sweet Potato Queen and Middle-Earth were strangely merged, thus:

One ring bought at the mall,
One ring – she found him!
One ring keeps them in thrall
And in the debt that binds them
In the land of Marriage where the Suburbs lie.

And in the debt that binds them
In the land of Marriage where the Suburbs lie.

I love it, scottie!

In my household we don't need a government law to share chores. We (I) just developed our (my) own system to share chores

My wife does all the cooking but to make up for that I do most of the eating.
My wife does all the window washing and vacuuming but to make up for that I monitor the TV for several hours a day.
My wife handles all the car washing but to make up for that I take car of all the driving.
My wife mows the yard and rakes the leaves but in all fairness I supervise.
My wife does have two full time jobs but to make up for that I take her to work and go get her.

My wife says she's going to leave me and I asked her to put another log on the fire and tell me why.

[Cynth]

Uhhh, if we don't hear from you again, I guess we'll know why.

Yeah, what a lucky woman, that Mrs. Pops. She might think about renting one of those great big chipping machines, next time she has to do the yard work.
