It sure as hell does not make me feel good! Feels like they are trying to bully their customers - especially at $38 a pack for their razors! It's like an anti-procreation video! If it weren't for pussy Gillette would be out of business! Shame on these people who obviously make too much money if they are paying for ads to insult their customers! Currently their new video has 220k thumbs down on YouTube and only 22k thumbs up, I guess most men agree with me!
I for one will have to start looking into another brand of razors... I will use the last of what I got and then switch. I don't pay them $38 a pack of razors to be mocked!
I didn't watch the advertisement, as it doesn't make sense to IMO. Besides, the two sides of the coin are in SELLC's & PowerStroker's posts !
Wilkinson or Bic are your next options SELLC lol !

Well in this case Rastus we are dealing with a conglomerate... So Proctor and Gamble is actually who is behind this if you follow the money trail... Prolly bought out by some Chinese government entity - like Nike, who spends this money to churn a ridiculous narrative to distract us from the real issues.... China and Russia.

Rex, do you long for the good old days... When a man could simply club a woman over the head, and drag her unconscious body to his cave by her hair, whereupon he would rape her repeatedly regardless of whether she wanted it or was even conscious for it?
Is this what is truly meant by "Make America Great Again" in your mind? I suppose it makes sense considering the phrase was coined by the same guy who goes around grabbing women by the pussy and bragging about it.
And here I thought MAGA hats were simply the reincarnation of KKK hoods. Little did I realize that what they represent is even more disgusting.

Good old days!? You make it sound like I was born in the 50's rather than the mid-70's!
I long for a good time, free of the stigmas that liberals impose on everyone for their own self serving wants, despite them being the biggest offenders to begin with!
Whatever happened to Weinstein? Don't hear much about him? How come?

Way too many famous quotes in the one post here...
A classic realism appraisal of the state-of-the-nation-consiousness from PowerStroker...( At least the greater voting majority for the moment ).
We have problems...But we also have Nancy...
Remember Nancy, 2020 !

Here's to 2020, & the new US-of-A !

60's 70's. Man we had the best TV, best music, we had it!
They were good days ! People not only settled-in to life after WW-II, but were living & enjoying the prosperous times too.

2 men can adopt, or they can use a female surrogate. What does this thread have to do with homosexuality? Gillette is simply stating that to be the best you can be, is to not sexually harass or bully people, and to intervene when you see such things happening. Do you disagree? Do you think we would better returning to the cave man days when you club a woman over the head and rape her unconscious body as a matter of routine?
Oh well...It had to happen at some stage I suppose...
Stellar has click-baited you again PowerStroker,( though you know only too well ), but it is good to have you posting once more !

Do you feel two people of the same sex, adopting - or even worse yet, using a surrogate is a good enviornment for children to grow up around? Were your parents two men, PowerStroker?
This thread has to do with homosexuality because Gillette is attacking toxic male masculinity... thus trying to change it's customers into something they are not. What business is it of Gillette to dictate what being the best you can be is? How about they just shut their fucking mouths and sell razors? Gillette at one time promoted toxic masculinity! So yeah I disagree! How do you sexually harass a woman that talks like a salor and uses sex as a tool to get what they want? There is an old saying that if you want to be treated like a lady, you have to ACT LIKE A LADY!
This whole cave man argument is not even valid... When you club a woman you have to drag her by the hair, not the legs! Otherwise they fill up with sand!
I think your response above just solidifies my need to vote a certian way on the 8th... I think perhaps people with your mentality on this topic are seriously fucking up this nations youth.

I think kids need a loving home regardless of what the specific family structure happens to be.

There are a great number of honorable conservatives who believe bullying and sexual harassment are bad too though. Perhaps neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic party suit you. Perhaps you should start a pro-rape party that you can mold into whatever you want? And if you get elected, you can ignore the real problems and spend your time passing legislation to make sure Gillette only airs commercials that fit your worldview. Hell, Putin does it so why not?

Stellar007 retort:What!? That's it!? You didn't even answer the full question! You have said MANY times in here you're a logic guy, and that you don't operate on emotion! What does your LOGIC tell you about where babies come from PowerStroker? Maybe you're not wired wrong after all! Maybe your logic is just corrupt! LOL

YES, Boys will be Boys! But Girls will also be Girls! It takes two to tango! I don't even want to get into how the act of making babies goes down in the mighty jungle!

Stellar007 retort:
Give me a break PowerStroker! I see Democrats bully people ALL THE TIME! Furthermore, sexual harassment is usually a term used in the workplace... for example some might say Bill Clinton sexually harrased Monica Lewinski... outside of the workplace it does not apply to prostitues, or women who publicly engage in sexually charged conversations... In other words, if you're going to play with the boys you're going to be treated like a boy. It's pretty simple!
I don't appreciate your suggestion that I would start a pro-rape party... that is not my thing, perhaps that would be better suited for guys in Jeffery Epstiens club? Who were those people again? Mostly Democrats, no? Oh, and a few Royals - my bad! Word on the street is Epstien was also a Jew! Didn't see any mass condemantion of Jeffery by the Jewish community... As a customer of Gillette for many decades, I'd think they should respect my overt desires to impress and seek the attention of women... or as they now call it "toxic male masculinity" They for sure shouldn't shit on their customers whom they themselves raised to be this way... The best a man can get! You seen the commercials, a clean shaven face with a woman rubbing it in admiration! Don't play dumb with me!
Monica liked it, so it wasn't harassment. For something to be considered harassment of any kind, it must first be unwanted.
This is what I was talking about earlier... when it suits you, you're VERY cavalier... Did Monica say she liked it? Or was she more or less bullied by the weight and prestige of the office?
How about Hillary, PowerStroker... did she like it as well?
Let me ask you this... if you ask someone for something and they don't answer - don't you keep asking until you get an answer? Someone who feels they are being harrassed at least has the obligation to speak up and say so, right?
Ask a girl out? lol... what are we in high-school again? That is not the way it works in todays world of swipe left and right! I myself like people with a little bit more brains than that! It's more complicated! What do you do when you ask a girl to have your babies, but you get no reply?
It's sort of like how when you ask your boss for a raise and he does not give you an answer! Do you keep asking? and if he still doesn't answer? Well, PowerStroker will just barge in his office in the morning, hop up on the desk, whip out his junk and start peeing in your Cheerios.
I'm actually somewhat relieved to know you classify most Liberal women supporters as the Monica "dirty girls"... perhaps I am going about this all wrong and I should just take the PowerStroker approach and whip out my junk? It worked for Bill Clinton! Did you ever get that raise, PowerStroker?
What do you do when you ask a girl to have your babies, but you get no reply?
Um, you should take that as a hard NO.

That's not sexual harassment, it's a salary negotiation.

I'm sorry, but absent a clear "fuck-off" or something similar I think you're wrong.
I didn't get where I am at today by giving up! Besides, the baby thing is just to convey the deep and committed nature of my feelings... I'd be totally cool "settling" for a good loyal internet friend out of the deal!
There is no question that you don't like kids PowerStroker! I feel sorry for any woman who might take a chance with you thinking you'll change your mind. You don't have to blame that on women or overpopulation... that's just the way you are! That's totally cool for you! However not everyone is that way!
Being up-front with someone your level of crazy is very important! This allows people to prepare for what they might expect! For example, if someone said "Hey I wanna make babies with you", most people would then think, okay... this guy is into raw dog, isn't fixed and probably doesn't pull out... most of your horror stories about people getting surprised in a relationship are because they were not up-front! I don't want to waste MY TIME with someone who is not willing to take risks with me, or trust me. It's an easy way to weed out the real from the fake.
Nobody want's to waste time and nobody want's to be bullshitted... wouldn't you agree?
Some people like the attention, and choose not to engage because they fear doing so would allow them to become hurt if things went bad! Some enjoy being chased as much as some enjoy the thrill of the chase...
Seems to me you like to give up on people too easy... unlike you, who claims to operate 100% on logic, I myself operate on an even 50/50 split of logic and emotion... however whenerver women are involved there is a 100% chance that emotion is going to kick logics ass!
I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world with the way-it-goes around either, so I haven't !!!
You would be very foolish, or uninformed ( read brain-washed ) to do so...
Parents spend their whole lives bullshyting their children that " you're going to have a wonderful life, & everything will work-out-fine ", & that sure isn't for me !
Most kids born today are generally accidents of some sort, & are lied to by everyone from their parents, to the gov't, & onto the church, & even so-called friends...
And as for some parents, hearing them say something like " He / she'll be alright, they'll work it out for themselves & get-by" isn't good enough imo.
I fully support PowerStroker & his decision.
* However, the world "is" changing now for the better, & in time, it will be a great place, as intended :) ! And with no more bullshyte from everyone !

I'd imagine my philosophy on life is not everyones cup of tea... and I appoligize if my philosophy angers you, or PowerStroker! It was not meant to do so, rather to convey my feelings on the matter.
You and PowerStroker aren't the only people I know that have no interest in kids, believe it or not. One of my oldest IRL friends feels the same as both of you! I still tease him from time to time but he has known me for so long that it doesn't bother him... if only because he was around to watch my kids kick my ass for the past 20 years! LOL, so all he has to do is smile and give me that look when I tease him about it from time to time.
I just want to be up-front...
The world is already a great place Rastus! If you're suggesting that by de-populating it will make it an even better place then I'd have to say your comments above are equally as terrible.
Bringing kids into the world is fine, & all I'm suggesting is that future parents need to scope-out the times, & see whether the moment is right or not...
I know of plenty of young parents, in the ages of say 18-21, bringing kids into the world...And yet at 18-21, you're still a kid yourself, just-out-of-school, no profession behind you etc etc
This is one example of where the "bullshye" cycle starts from the parents, & all the people around them, though it's a very complicated & messy subject, as everyone's circumstance & reasoning is different.
However, while we have a "scheme" in-place, where the "west" lies to its people via a failed money-generation-scam ( read banks / stock-market ), that preys on 3rd-world-countries via genocide to gain natural resources & war ( see Myanmar for example in real-time today ), I say it's not great to bring children into this world, until these issues are addressed, & equality + peace exists for everyone.
You have to also remember here Stellar, that our "leaders" congregate once a year, at the Bohemian Grove sauceage festival, worshiping & sacrificing before an ancient, evil Owl, whilst deciding everyone's fate via the usual tactic of fear & war-fare...
That has to stop.

Honestly though... I am going to share a little story with you that I have only shared with Desi...
I tell women that I want their babies because it's the most effective means of scaring them off without actually pissing them off...
For example, when I first met Brandee and we went on our first date to a bar called "The Tryst", or perhaps it was "Sneakies" at the time (Pogo's before that)... anyway, we were there at the bar playing pool and I was worried about scaring her off, because I really wanted to fuck her so bad... so I said to her flat out (and I was lying out my ass) "I'm not looking to get married or have kids or anything serious"... to which she replied with a great big smile, "Me either!". The next night I was cumming in her, and the rest as they say is history!
Now, imagine if I had looked her dead in the eyes and said "I want you to have my babies" LOL, she would have RUN like Forest Gump!
So I have learned that it's best just to be honest and up-front right off the rip! And it has worked like a charm for over 20 years!
Don't wear your wedding rings! I wore mine for many years on and off until one day a lazy employee was "supposed" to be holding a Mercedes steering gearbox steady while I lined up the bolts... needless to say he wasn't and the gearbox would have squished my finger real bad except at that time I was wearing it and the ring more or less saved me a pretty nasty finger pinching... I had to cut it off with a pair of diagnal cutters as my finger swole up quick and the band was acting as a tourniquet.
Since then I have not worn the ring daily because nobody will fix it... they won't fix it because they all decline to replicate Tiffany and Co's proprietary knurling on the outer bands. Tiffany does not want to fix it either, rather they want to replace it! But that just seems like losing a part of that special moment. To me I'd know, and it wouldn't have the same meaning...
What I have noticed is this... women will not waste time on an older guy if he isn't wearing a wedding ring... in their messed up mind an older guy without a wedding ring is either divorced, or was never worth a damn because no woman ever married him! LOL, it's totally true! I have tested the theory a few times by wearing the ring out with the cut portion facing down and any time you approach a woman with a wedding ring on she will automatically let her gaurd down and be super friendly to the point of almost flirting. It's almost amazing! Whereas without the ring they are quick to dismiss or ignore you. I'm not sure if the same holds true for women wearing wedding rings, but when I see them and they're extra flirty I just assume it would be a quick one night stand, otherwise (depending on the size of the rock) it could get messy... I find the bigger the rock, the more desperate they are for your attention, think yoga-pants, bleech blonde hair, makeup and enough perfume to ensure whoever you go home to thinks you just nailed a hooker... and that's just standing next to them!
There are lots of things you can do to keep yourself out of trouble while still having a good time... women are very dangerous and patient creatures.
I want to be clear that as funny as these things are, I only laugh about them because more often times than not, they are true!
It's not because I think I'm some Mack-Daddy or playa... these are real life events and experiences that I speak to!
I'm in no way trying to diss on any of the women whom I've suggested having my baby! Rather, like a Cobra that puffs up or a rattlesnake that warns off predators with it's rattle when they sense danger, the statement is made as a warning... a warning that my venom is potent and will swell her up for nine months and leave her reeling for another 18 years, if not for life.
Most of this stuff is known already anyway... we laugh about it because as funny as it sounds, more often than not it's true.
