have anyone ever realised that lara never has scratches, cuts etcetera
etcetera even though her health could be nearly gone? probably a dumb
question but im bored.

We've head this argument in a thread somewhere, I think - wouldn't it be
seriously damn boring to play if you had to wait three hours for an air
ambulance every time you fell off something, or you couldn't jump any more
because she hurt her ankle? That is *mundane* realism.

That is *so* not funny!

You must be a man *and* ignorant to say such an insensitive and stupid
thing. Your *mother* gets periods too, you know (although it migh thave been
better for all of us if she hadn't!). Seeing what an incredible human being
you've become, I wish you *had* just ended up as a blob! (the blob is
actually a discarded egg. Every month a woman fires an egg and readies her
uterus, when the egg isn't fertilized, the whole package gets discarded. Too
bad you mum had sex that day, huh?)

They call it Pre Menstrual Syndrome because it usually happens before a
woman gets her period, it doesn't happen before every period, it doesn't
manifest itself the same way for every woman.

The whole system for the survival of the species is based on a lot of
hormones. *If* a women suffers from PMS (and like I said, not all women do),
it's for the good of mankind. Women are sometimes ruled by their hormones,
just like men are often ruled by theirs!!

It's not that we *like* the rollercoaster ride we're sometimes on (at least
I don't), it just is. And you making a STUPID remark like that just shows
what a waste of space you really are.

Yes, I hate sport too, even though I could beat the crap out of twits on the
rugby field, well I could in England anyway ;-) But whats the point, I hate
Rugby (boring), if I were gay I might like it, all those guys running around

An old joke, but still funny. However, the key to comedy is timing.
Yours seems to be off. Try again in two weeks. They'll still think
you're a jerk, but like all women, when it's the right time of the

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a dam.

what a waste of space you really are.

No, I don't think so.
Three's a lot of people here that would disagree with you,
they think the sun shines out of my ass.

And you making a STUPID remark

It wasn't a STUPID remark.
It was a FUNNY tong-in-cheek JOKE.
I heard it from a WOMAN, a stand up comic, to be exact.
There were a lot of MATURE ADULT WOMEN in the audience, and they thought it
was
very funny.
After spending five minutes dumping on MEN, witch I thought was a hoot,
she started dumping on WOMEN, which was also funny.
One particular joke she told puts me in mind of you.

Her daughter asked her "why do women have periods"?
Her husband interjected and said
"Because some of them deserve them"

No, we'll *still* think he's a jerk, because that's basically all he and you
are. You're just slightly more devious.

And what is it with you people? Have you put all those rejections by women

Following that logic no one should make jokes about ANYTHING they haven't
experienced themselves.
Poor excuse for "tearing him a new one" (not that he doesn't deserve
it)...(not that he does) (etc).

I think there are jokes about death that are funny, and I think many would
agree... although none of us have
experienced that yet. Unless you believe in reincarnation and I don't want
to go there.

It is just your OPINION that " men making jokes about PMS is not funny".
Show me the mathematical equation that proves any "feeling" or "opinion".
We can only say what we "believe" is right or wrong ... good or bad.
So we make rules to measure opinions and abide by the results.
I will leave it to you to show me that at least 50 % of the people think
that :


"men making jokes about PMS is not funny" .

You have about 64% of my vote.
34% of the PMS jokes I have heard I thought were funny.
2% I thought were hilarious.
12 % I thought were poorly delivered. (count as NOT funny)
0.8 % , I beat the Shi* out of him.

Try not to be so sensitive about it. (I know...I don't know what it is
like).
You had EVERY RIGHT to voice your opinion on that.
TIMC may be an A-hole, too.

I know it is all a bunbch of crap when you have an opinion and you feel you
are right in judgement.
I am not even agrguing against name-calling. Just hoping to make you think a
bit.
You may still be pissed, but maybe not AS much.
mellow....mellow.....mellow....


Oh.... Crotch Rocket is an assho*e. THAT is a FACT.

Ah *that* kind of logic. No, I still didn't try to make a point in that.
Sorry if you took my remark to contain some logic, it wasn't intended to
have any.

Am not saying that people can't make jokes about things that haven't
happened to them. I just don't think (and probably many women with me) that
men making insulting jokes about PMS isn't funny. I know they *make* the
jokes because they don't experience it themselves, but that's no reason. It
hurts. Not only do women suffer PMS, men make bad jokes about it. That's
adding insult to injury!

And does anyone else notice that whenever a woman does something a man
doesn't immediately understand, they always say "Oh, it must be PMS then".
Not so! Men just use PMS to put down women when they do things that they
don't understand. Ergo, to hide their own insecurities.

Am usually pretty mellow as well. This kind of attitude just really pisses
me off. But like that other guy said, if you're listening to a stand-up
comedian who goes on and on about men for five minutes and then makes this
PMS joke, the same joke could be funny (it *is* way different when a woman
tells it by the way)

Just dumping in in a NG is the wrong way to bring a joke like that I guess.

Politically Correct Sanctimony

But perhaps such jokes ARE unacceptable? Perhaps I was wrong. Yes, I
see the truth now. Extremism in the defense of endocrinology is no
vice! In fact, this point of view would make a great storyline for the
next Tomb Raider:

Trapped in the netherworld together Lara and Set get to know each
other, fall in love, and get married by the underworld gods. They set
up a household in a cozy tomb where their physical and spiritual union
creates a daughter. The three live happily - until one day Set
thoughtlessly makes a crude joke about Lara's monthly moods and water
retention. Enraged by righteous indignation (NOT PMS), she takes her
daughter and storms out of the crypt. She runs into Natla and they get
to talking and come to the revelation that all along they were just
the pawns of the male power structure, forced to battle each other at
the expense of the Sisterhood. Encouraged by Natla, Lara returns to
the real world and takes a women's consciousness raising course at
tax-payer expense at a prestigious university. In her Oneness
Realization therapy she reveals that she never gave Set express
written consent before submitting to his bestial advances. She learns,
according to PC doctrine, that implied or verbal consent is
insufficient and exploitive; as such, her union with Set constitutes
sexual assault. Lara realizes she has been raped and is traumatized.
She divorces Set, develops a heroine addiction, becomes destitute, and
is declared an unfit mother. (On the plus side, the addiction helps
her slim her figure after the baby.)
She's rescued by an advocate from the government subsidized Hope for
the Victims of Patriarchal Society halfway house and is diagnosed with
anorexia and body dismorphia, the true root causes of her addiction.
In her Identity Awareness class she learns that her drive to be thin
and curvaceous is an unrealistic reflection of the male libido-crazed
mass culture.
Hypno-regression therapy helps Lara recover repressed memories of
ritualized child sexual abuse by her father in a Satanic Cult led by
Winston the butler. After a quick trial in the media Winston is
convicted of Crimes Against Womankind. His rape and murder in prison
inspires cheering editorials in the liberal press. Tracking down and
butchering her father is seen as only justifiable in the face of
obvious evidence of his monstrous essence. Lara becomes a hero on the
university lecture circuit. Finally able to abandon her
obsessive-compulsive fitness regime and take control of her own body,
Lara gets breast reduction surgery and achieves her normal
un-male-repressed weight of 160 pounds.
Her campaign to regain custody of her daughter launches a political
movement that purges the conservative cancer from the government for
its unconscionably discriminatory policies against single mothers.
Once accomplished, all of Set's assets on this plane and the next are
seized for child support (and since he is a known sex offender he is
denied all visitation rights).
She then attacks the true perpetrators of violence against women by
pursuing a class action lawsuit against the male dominated
advertising-fashion-cosmetics-dieting industrial complex, makers of
violent pornography (including all video games), the manufacturers of
breast implants, and anyone who's ever viewed a woman as a sex object
or made a joke about PMS. The multi-quadrillion dollar judgment
eradicates female poverty across the globe and puts women into
majority control of all corporations. All defendants are sentenced to
chemical castration and are forced to attend life-long gender
sensitivity classes. Lara lives out her life as a Healthy-Sized
fashion model and serves as the head of the Persons of Proper Hormones
Anti-Discrimination League.
Lara's daughter (a B-cup - Right Sized 12) enjoys a full life as a
worldwide role model to young Victims of Lubricious Fathers, helping
to free women from their testosterone soaked oppressors. She
eventually becomes the leader of the first Y-less global government.
All potential rapists (i.e. males) are kept under strict control to
restrain their violent impulses and curb their insensitive and
offensive sense of humor. Utopia!

Of course this is just a rough outline of the plot. I haven't gone
into any of the rich opportunities for scrotum busting gameplay. There
are also many lesbian aspects of the game, but for me as a man to
mention them would only be salacious.

Next episode: the evil reawakens with the underground release of
Leisure Suit Larry 24 - The Last Copulation!

=================
Dear God,
Whenever a woman does something I don't immediately understand , I always
use the
PMS excuse to put down women, so I won't feel so insecure about not
understanding.

Of course, when I ask her, she just says, "It's PMS you STUPID SH*T !!!

Why am I so STUPID ?

Love, Phil

P.S. If you are a woman, could you just have Jesus write me back ?
P.P.S. If you ARE a woman, and it is "that time" can we pretend I never
wrote ?

I don't like to see any sport on tv, it's all boring...

Yep, you're dead right. F1 is really boring now. Most of the time I do
something else while it's on! Rallying is my favourite, because it's nice to
watch. Touring Cars used to be good, as they actually *raced*, and had a bit
of a push/shove/barge-people-out-of-the-way race! Half the teams vanished
last year though, and there's just nothing of it around now :(

I do like it when they crash, though :-P

It certainly is fun, because I got whizzed round Donington last weekend! And
it wasn't even a particularly fast car, although it went round corners
fairly well. Yes, I think I could get used to that... but I can't drive!
Give me an automatic transmission, show me the accelerator, and I'll be away
though :D

Have you tried looking under the bed for that Ferrari CB? Or maybe it fell
down the back of your desk... it'll be around, somewhere... ;)
