Bear Pit: now the sole domicile of politics at LuLa

[Alan Klein]

Good point. It's also cheaper to take a girl out in Poland than in Germany. It costs about the same to make happy two Polish girls as one German.

I tried that once.  Didn't work out too well.

[Alan Klein]

Good grief.

Lighten up.  I think Josh has a sense of humor.

[jeremyrh]

Good grief.

And they wonder why there are no women posting here?

[digitaldog]

Good grief.

Indeed. Not that this has anything to do with Josh, another assumption, a repository of assumptions.
Yeah, with such comments, it's no wonder so few women post here. German, Polish or otherwise.

I don't find your comments the least bit humorous. It is sad, but not unexpected, that you do. More of the same.

So, who's to blame here? LesPalenik for the original remark or Alan Klein for a wordplay on that remark? Common sense went down the drain here a long, long time ago.

Maybe she could use her head as a wifi hotpot.

That sounds like a personal attack to me..

You may want to review the chronology.

Don't ask questions who's answers you will never accept.

You probably are not the best spokesperson here to evaluate common sense sir.

[digitaldog]

The possibility of that is nearly zero but I agree with your suggestion.

Indeed, people assume all kinds of things. Of course, I meant taking out two girls on two consecutive nights, One at a time.
If anybody thought otherwise he should feel ashamed of himself.

You think that's the problem?

[faberryman]

Perhaps someone can explain how we got from my post:

Sounds like you think Trump's moving 12,000 troops from Germany to Poland, and building a big base in Poland at enormous cost to accommodate them, to punish Germany for not meeting its defense spending goal and reward Poland for meeting its defense spending goal is a good idea? Sounds like an expensive way to reward an ally. What do we get out of the deal? A new base in Poland? I don't remember that being on anyone's Christmas list. How is our strategic interest advanced?

to these four posts:

The women are very pretty too, always something a serviceman considers when getting assigned for overseas duty.

I think the policy is no personal attacks on other LuLa members.  It's OK to call others jerks.

Where did you find these policies?

to these four posts:

When I was an airman in the USAF, stationed in SAC in NY State, these were important things to a young 20-year-old GI would consider when asked to choose an overseas post.  No one cared about the politics.  All you thought of was how pretty the girls were, how cheap the booze, and whether you can get off base often.   I selected Japan and England and wound up in the former for two years. Poland wasn't even a choice at the time.  It was still in the Communist East Bloc. Of course, it was probably even cheaper if you could go; maybe you could afford to date three at a time.

Who would volunteer for Greenland where there's a girl behind every tree?

I am embarrassed for you.

I think Jeremy mentioned them from time to time.

At my current age, I'm embarrassed for me too. 

[digitaldog]

Where? And now he's gone, the status is?
