Let's talk about what makes Hillary a bitch, Matthew. What exactly is


it?

Usually when a man makes that comment with that level of venom, it is
a sure sign that the woman in question is successful.


Amen to that. Successful men are "powerful" and "leaders" -


successful

women are "bitches" and "shrews".

Actually, I'm a very successful woman


Hello


and no one, to my knowledge, has
ever called me a bitch or a shrew.


that's because nobody resents anyone for doing well..(maybe a few
froggy exceptions)



Are you sure about that, Barry? Or is it that nobody resents anyone
for doing well as long as they 1) share the proceeds and/or 2) stroke the
egos of the ones who do not do so well.


I get it. For me to be a successful woman whom men don't hate, I must
be stroking their egos or somehow reimbursing their "kindness?"

Bzzzzzzt.

I'm actually known to be quite outspoken and even adversarial at times,
when warranted. I LOVE to play devil's advocate at meetings and get
everyone thinking. I'm told most people admire me for these qualities.
Know why? Because I don;t have a huge "validate me" chip on my shoulder
like so many women over 40.



but it is beyond the people i deal with in person



What kind of people would these be, son? I would love
to hear all about this caliber of people who never resent
the success of anyone even though it is very likely there are
among them both average people, exceptional people and
the dregs of the dregs, ignorant, stupid, mean-spirited AND
niggardly. You know, the kind of people for whom you
might do some construction work who then refuse to even
pay you a token sum?


Your world must be very negative.



as to why anyone
would have contempt for anyone where there is no cause. it's not even a
gender issue.



Oh, yes, there is always a cause, it is just that sometimes the cause is
just and
sometimes it is not. In the case of Hillary Clinton, there are a lot of men
who
resent the fact that she breaks the male-dominant tradition of the powerful
and successful politician.


That I can agree with. And this does happen in society... but not to
the degree so many women claim it does. I know a lot of women who use
this kind of illustration merely as an excuse for their lack of success.


Yes, indeed, there is always a cause. There are so many little icky people
who are unhappy about their own shortcomings, all the opportunities they
have missed. Sometimes it is a gender issue, sometimes it is not.


But the problem comes in those who claim it is when it isn't.

For
example, there
are men who are abject failures who really do get frustrated and
embittered toward other men ... and women ... who have spent their
lives in, shall we say, more productive ways. There are women who
resent men for their independence.


there's an old saying that familiarity breeds contempt



This really is true, especially when the better you get to know
someone the more disgusting you find out they really are.


This is sad. I always find that more information and experience helps
to shed a better light on most folks. Maybe I'm just too much of an
optimist. Hasn't cat ownership had an affect on you guys? ;-)

Of course, there are also lots of cases in which the closer you get,
the better someone looks. Familiarity does not *always* breed
contempt.


It's very hard to find ANYthing that always happens... hence. my
discomfort with painting broad strokes.

When it does, the inspiration for the contempt is often
someone who is deceptive, such as a would-be con man who nevertheless
does not have what it takes to pull even that sleazy task off. And hell
hath no fury like a thwarted bonehead--so, said failed con artist might
actually resent the intended target of his failed plan.


You sure do talk purdy.


Or a lonely old lady who recognizes a shiftless man as "on-the-take"
and so leads him on, enticing him to keep her company while dangling the
carrot of her "fortune" before his greedy eyes. When she then dies without
coughing up the expected windfall, said ne'r-do-well can feel real contempt.

There are a million scenarios.


Of course there are.

You know I use that term with the greatest love and respect
for all women.

And thank's for the feedback. If I can figure out how to work
it into a full minute of material, it may go into my standup routine
this summer.
BTW, I polished up my "Power of Prayer" rant from RPCA and took
it to the stage a couple of weeks ago. It KILLED. I'm beginning to think
I should run all my new material past you for approval.
Maybe I'll get that 5 minute spot on "Letterman", yet.
Back in '97 my wife and I were in New York and had tickets to
Dave's show. So we're standing in line for an hour, waiting to get in,
and I suddenly decided to start doing some of my jokes (to the great
embarrassment of my wife). I wouldn't say that I "killed" but I was
getting laughs. Biff Henderson (stage manager) came out of
the studio and listened to me for a couple of minutes and
HE laughed a few times. He motions me over to him and says
"That was very funny, are you performing somewhere". I'm thinking,
wow, am I being "discovered"? "No, just do some occasional "open mic"."
Then he tells me, "Well, this is DAVE'S show. If you open your mouth
in the studio, I'll have to have security escort you out".


ARRGGHH, whata bummer! Talk about fragile egos....

No need - you've posted some *excellent* trolls here lately (though I've
only been "skimming").

Yep, saw that thread, replied to it... like I said then, since the results
were that the power of prayer didn't work it must not have been backed by
right-wing conservatives!! ; I don't think running them past me would do
much good - I'm pretty atypical of that group, I like to laugh at
*everything*, myself included.

I was checkin out your site some more
super clean there! mhmm
I thought you worked for yourself, you do don't you
you're are freelance

I've been learning alot in Flash 8, been doing Dreamweaver for a while
now
Flash 8 as you know, makes use of a timeline, it's not much different
than
the concept I use in the music studio... just a sequence of events...
but I don't find Flash very intuitive, not like my recording software.
(I can't readily find the buttons, lot's of F1's)

I do both - I work from home so I can do both easily.

Flash is *hard* to program (to actually put code behind the things on a
timeline - as you said not at all intuitive. I have used it in the past,
but I try to talk clients out of using it because 1) they will pay a lot
more for development since Flash takes so much longer to program, 2) lots of
users are aggravated by Flash, especially if they don't have the latest
version and are prompted to download it before they can view a page (in
which case most users will just hit their back arrow to go back to their
google search and find a site that's not as aggravating), and 3) lots of
users are (sensibly) afraid of security issues when they go to a Flash page.

You can do similar things with JavaScript without encountering all the
negative factors in Flash.

true! it's not enough bang for the average consumers bux
then by the time you finish, it won't enough juice for the squeeze

Flash and Authorware are really great for large corporations with
specific site needs.
I definetely think flash has it's place, like when you want to give
someone a tour of the New Ford SUV. Then there's quicktime VR - 360deg,
interactive panoramas
I've got all those tools, but like you said, a client can rack up a
bill very quick with this sort of need.

I've followed Macromedia's development from their beginning, they lost
me at some point with coldfusion and server sides... i'd have to goto
college for 6 months...
and they will gladly oblige as they offer live online seminars to learn
their products.

You know Adobe will send you a free DVD (Creative Suite 2) it has all
their site creation and graphics products in one spot lots of fantastic
sites out of the box. I think "Go Live" beats dreamweaver overall...
but.. I think Adobe products are less intuitive than Macromedia...but
then again, when you say adobe you are saying macromedia, as they have
merged. I wish they would all think like an artist flows.

pinching my nose
I believe a new technology is in order where php and sql server sides
are built into the wysiwyg site editor... this way you can easily build
a db driven site that offers a comback cookie LOLOL that's too damn
funny... comeback cookie.. I gotcha comeback cookie...

well, it's a good day to rob a bank, hope I don't get caught!

KEWL! Very nicely done.


Thanks CN, the neat thing about that site...

it's got a live RSS feed from ebay...(real simple syndication)

one can insert their live auctions into any html page, however..
it does require a 3rd party to parse the RSS feed from da-bay
and if you have alot of auctions it can take a second for the
page to load.

Hey, they were hypotheticals!

Besides, it wasn't like I was accusing you of, say, ****ing people for money
or anything. Now THAT would be heinous.

Lighten up, son. Dazzle us with some more of your tech brilliance. Or of
course you can just baffle us with bull****, your usual MO.
