Why don't more men learn how to flirt?

One of the weird aspects of hearing guys here talk about their struggles with dating is that almost none of them seem to know how to flirt. It seems like every time a guy talks about his issues, everything is super serious. And I am left wondering, do these dudes even like socializing? Do...

Black History Month. . . a little known heroine, Fredricka Washington.

Fredicka Washington was on her way to being a huge Hollywood star. Born in 1903, she was the daughter of Robert T. Washington, a postal worker, and Harriet "Hattie" Walker Ward, a dancer. I guess both of her parents were "mixed". Which really isn't saying much. So many African-Americans are...

The continuing weird discussion about masculinity. . .

Years ago, when I first joined GaG, I wanted to talk about relationships. I had hopes this was a place where I could find meaningful discussions on the issues men and women have with forming meaningful bonds. I was and am old, I kind of felt I could help some younger dudes find success. And...

A resolution for the New Year?

I have to say I was never into making pledges or resolutions for the New Year. I can't think of a single year in my 50+ years on this planet when I made a pledge. But maybe I will try it this year. Coachanthony created a Take about guiding GaG to a better place this year. I am not sure if...

Nuclear Fusion!!!

So I couldn't wait to get this take out there. We have been hearing about nuclear fusion for decades. Ever since we started building atomic weapons, we were told this was going to be a reality. But scientists could never figure out how to build a reactor that produced more energy than they put...

This is what happens when election deniers run for office.

We are increasingly facing the nonsense that there will be a "red wave" come November 8th. Somehow the liberal media has parroted the polls that are leaning or trending trumplican. Then we are hearing speech after speech about how trumplican candidates will not accept an election result that...

The truth about the Ukraine Russia conflict.

I just want to clear up a few things here at GaG since online trolls are lying about what is actually happening on the ground in Ukraine. 1. Ukraine and Ukrainians have their own separate separate culture, history, traditions, etc. While objectively, you can say they are related to Russia and...

Severance, Ben Stiller delves into Sci-Fi.

This series on Apple+ is top notch sci-fi. It is such a well-written show with an excellent concept. Imagine working in an office where your memory is wiped before and after you enter the workspace. The series brings up many philosophical questions seeing that the workers have no idea about...

Why is it woke to tell the truth about Christopher Columbus?

1. He did not discover the world was round. I don't know who started this dumb rumor. But I was taught this nonsense in kindergarten. Most folks in his age, knew the world was round. We have known the world was round since Ancient Greece, when Eratosthenes calculated the curvature of the...

Back to a little science!!! The real reason why we may not be able to travel faster than light.

Most folks know about the speed of light and all of the problems with trying to build a ship that could travel at that speed. 1. As you approach the speed of light the mass of your ship would approach infinity. 2. Time dilation. Even if you were able to build the craft that could do it, from...

Why do folks at GaG think the abortion debate is simply about choice vs life?

It never fails. So many folks here argue over political catchphrases than actual facts. The debate is framed by the media because American media is lazy. The actual legal argument against Roe was made on the basis of privacy. That Roe had the right to consult with her doctor over issues about...

Why is American society so idiotic? Maybe hating Russian folks in America for something they did not do, is just plain stupid.

What is the point of harassing Russian-Americans? Even if they are Putin supporters? I mean, racist, bigots, insano fruitcake xenophobes are a dime a dozen at GaG. But for those folks who have an ounce of sanity, it should be easy to not get caught up in this nonsense. There is nothing logical...

The Problem with a "Black" Bond. . .

First, I would like to say the British Film Industry can do whatever the hell it wants. And I am not saying that "race" relations in Britain are anything like race relations in America. In fact, this take is about the weird American reaction to race. The funny thing is that in America this is...

Why is Einstein so great?

A lot of folks know Einstein’s e=mc2 equation. They know he was famous for his theories, but they don’t understand the equation nor do they understand exactly what he contributed to Physics. So I wanted to shed a little light on his life. 1. Einstein did not win the Nobel Prize for his...

I don't like X Culture. The American obsession with universality.

I was invited to a take on "Ghetto" culture but of course, I couldn't participate. I think folks need to understand. I am the most blocked person on this site. So consider that when you try to invite me to takes you want my input on. But because this topic is so interesting and so relevant to...

What is happening in Afghanistan now was always going to happen. The military was never going to be ready.

What is happening in Afghanistan was always going to happen. From the moment we invaded the country to destroy Al-Qaeda, this was going to be result of also attacking the Taliban. The funny thing about our politics is that people actually pretend there are differences between so-called...

Back from Montenegro!!!

There have been a few posters who have talked about how beautiful Eastern Europe can be. There are some beautiful resorts and places that are beyond description. The thing that people seem to be unaware of is that these vacations are only expensive if you consider the flights. The stay at...
