Punching people kills people. So does shooting them. Both should be illegal.
Excellent, I'm glad that people who think like you live in america and not so much of you over here.
Many people in Saudi Arabia are similarly pleased they don't have to live with people who believe in religious freedom.

I go target shooting every week with the missus. Some people own golf clubs. Some people woodworking tools. Some people play cricket. All of these things involve items which can and have been used as a weapon. My hobby is no different except that when misused the items involved can be more dangerous than a cricket bat.
Just like your car.
Do you enjoy it?
I do not look at what I have and see them as a weapon. Just as you don't look at your car and see that as a weapon. You appreciate the potential for danger associated with it and mitigage it appropriately. The same is true with firearms. If you look at it and see it as a weapon, there's probably something more seriously wrong in your head.
EDIT: Unless you live in a society where there is real danger and you bought the gun for self defence. That's a different kettle of fish. What I have isn't exactly suitable for that kind of thing.
Yes, because I have the freedom not to worry about me getting shot as I go about my daily business, or my children getting shot at school, its the equivalent of living in Saudi Arabia.
Or whatever your point was. This argument is seriously stupid and is making me feel dumber just for partaking in it. Well done.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging you for owning a gun. I understand the hobby aspect of it. I do boxing and MMA for hobby, fairly dangerous is some situations. Have hatchets, throwing axes and numerous knifes too (plus a bow). Not exactly guns but they are still weapons. Also drive cars and a van nearly every day. Deadly weapons as far as I'm concerned.
Funny enough you mentioned woodworking - I do carving but I consider a regular screwdriver a lot more effective (due to the length of the blades). :-D
This is an interesting read about changes in corporate behavior, and may partly explain the origins of things like the Gillette ad. Or it may not...

If Wisdom is the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and its deliberate use to improve well being then how come "Ignorance is bliss"
Says it all..." are luring millennial workers ". Sound like the military's new recruitment campaign for millennials, just to serve as meat-shields.
I know.
But it's not about what you said or what you think, it's about what other people generally mean (or think they mean) when they say "Toxic Masculinity". I'm just trying to make some sense of their misunderstanding for you!
In that case, you will never get what you're after unless everyone agrees on your definition... which they don't, which is why there's a debate in the first place. There are too many nominalisations to make any reasonable consensus, which is why the 'toxic' term was created to address all the vague and wide reaching variables.
But they still punish the group (and the wrong one, at that) for the actions of the individual.
Stopping law-abiding citizens from enjoying their hitherto legal hobby, based on the actions of one criminal, while doing absolutely nothing to curtail the actual criminals?
It's both immoral and ridiculously backward.
I cited UK laws. There was never any right to bear arms in the first place... but lets not get started on the concept of rights, because you actually have none in the first place.
Aww, it's Friday, dammitt....
OK, while I'm around adverts a fair amount, I don't pay enough attention to remember much about them, so a quick Google will have to suffice.
Selfridges last year with their ultra-slim model, Cara Delevigne's Rimmel ad with the CGI lashes, Adaptamil showing boys becoming engineers and mountaineers but girls becoming ballerinas, Gap have done a similar one reinforcing gender stereotypes, The Agent estate agency showing a soldier who'd 'bought a kitchen for the missus', FemFresh got flak for over-sexualising and objectifying women... in fact, most fashion and make-up adverts play heavily on stereotypes and many have taken flak for screwing up at some point.
He doesn't even have to leave, though. I said father figure. That could be a brother, uncle, grandfather, family friend, neighbour, or whatever. I had several, none of whom were my own father as he was always away working... but to whatever extent, I still had some. That's what I'm talking about.
Why?
Is it not your choice whether you shave, then?
Tell them to 'toddle off' and worry more about their own beards!!
When I shave, my wife said it was like kissing a 12-year old boy... she prefers kissing adult men.
A range of options in how to deal with your periods gives you such choices... but you don't get a choice in whether you have periods with which to deal, nor in which of those options might not work for you.
Shaving, on the other hand, is completely your choice and does not generally impact personal and/or public hygiene if you choose not to shave.
You also won't get dogs sniffing your bits if you don't shave!!
To what end? What purpose? Surely you can extrapolate from my words as to precisely how I'd feel, react, etc?
The pressure of social conformity will generally force the latter into behaving like the former, especially when the more vocal and short-tempered among us will loudly insist she get up off that public seating, clean up her blood spills and take her leaking, stinking, lady parts off to the toilet to sort herself out.
Like I said, there's no shame in having a period any more than there is in taking a dump... but neither do you subject everyone else to it!!
Incidentally, I have had a very similar situation, except the person in question piddled themselves because they couldn't be bothered to get up and go to the public toilet. It took a security escort and a cleaner showing up to motivate them.
Sorry, but not only is that a touch toward an old-fashioned definition of what it is to 'Be A Man', it's rather vague and incomplete, and it's actually just a small part of what it takes to be a decent person. It's not actually gender specific in any way!!
Then don't overuse them... Real men know how much dash to splash!
The Lord Jesus Christ himself was given three gifts by some very wise men... two of them were essentially aftershaves! That's hardly unmanly, is it?
If you want to look at manly scents throughout history, you can either opt for the modern take, or go proper historical:

Military Operations Rule #1: Before you can invade a country, you must be able to spell it... lest you invade their neighbour who's actually your ally!
Oh, is THAT why there are so many people killed in car accidents?
Cor, I never knew that.
Oddly enough, in places like America where gun ownership is generally permitted, but some areas have quite strict laws on it, people from those stricter areas just hop over the border to get them.
In other places, where ownership permission and breadth of ownership are both roughly on par with America, they have ridiculously low murder rates... some even lower than our own.
No-one has the right to live. There are pieces of paper with words written on them that suggest otherwise, but that paper does not guarantee that right.
Back to playground level is/isn't, pencils can kill in the wrong hands - again - are we? Oh good.
Aliorum vitia turbaverunt me
The evidence presented in the factual documentary 'John Wick' suggests that would require the right hands!
I'll check em out.
Thank you for make it clear, make a lot more sense now.
It is my choice to do something with a natural process. I could leave it to be as it is but I feel socially pressured to tend to it. Same as...you know
Saying that would get me a permanent seat in the HR office. Thanks but no. Been told that I can make anything sound offensiveTell them to 'toddle off' and worry more about their own beards!!
And that is your wife's choice. My woman like my facial hair sorted.
Generally no. Subjectively it might.
In my experience the opposite is more true. Opposite as you're saying dogs won't sniff if you don't shave = dogs will sniff if you shave. Especially coupled with frequent and vigorous exercise.
Because the person could do it. Because wanted to make a statement. Because having a rainbow colored hair wasn't enough. I don't know, you can ask if you want.
I literally buy you a bus ticket to the next such event when a know, clearly non-conformist person will perform public free-bleeding just to see you making BuzzFeed news about how you oppressed that person. You know it would happen.
The only form of 'security' in a smaller office (50 odd people) is basically the HR personnel who actually applauded it for being brave and liberating...
I thought you wanted to hear non-gender specific
He also had three nails to hang ontodoubt he was worried about shaving and aftershave
Appreciate the offer, but if I CBA with modern, what are the chances I will with historic/ancient?
Technically they were given to his parents. One was gold - presumably to help them leg it and live in a foreign country while Herod was butchering the infants, one was for dead bodies to mask the stench of rotting flesh, and not something you'd wear down the local. The other people aren't sure about, but yes, probably perfume or spice of some sort.
Quite. And we don't know if the spices the women took to the tomb on Easter morning were the same as those given by the wise men/magi but of all going on on the Thursday-Friday whether he was or wasn't wearing brut was the least of the issues.He also had three nails to hang onto
