Margarine is a grey colour before they dye it yellow. I had a friend who worked for one of the marg factories as a chef.. it was much better when he worked for the bakery! i hate margarine. I'd rather have butter and even then I'd rather use apple puree instead.


And Saya you haven't seen the new Battlestar? Man it was great. The spin off series Caprica was okay, but I loved battlestar.

I love the fact that the whole of Battlestar (the initial mini-series plus all 4 seasons) is available for online streaming and is included in the $8 a month NetFlix membership, as well as all 9 seasons of Red Dwarf, 2 seasons of Hyperdrive, 4 seasons of Lexx and 3 seasons of Primeval, plus every episode of The X-Files, Buffy and Farscape, lots of Doctor Who ... and much more.

So, that's a lot of sci-fi goodness!

Putting the "Man" back in manners - part 1

1. Honor your word

Seriously. Don't be a douche bag. Nothing will betray a person's confidence in you faster then being a flake. It's really easy, actually. Don't make a verbal offer or agreement that you don't sincerely wish to follow through with. If you have an issue with helping someone or a responsibility that you don't want, then be a man and FUCKING SAY SO. It's especially important when interacting within a group dynamic like work. All it takes is one fire to burn the bridges that you labored to build.

2. Hold the door

It's really not a hard concept. Opening the door for a woman is nothing more then a basic gesture of respect. It's also an alright opportunity to scope out her ass, but that's beside the point. Do it for every woman so that it becomes a force of habit, rather then something special, because it's not. And don't be butt hurt when a bitch ignores you, or scowls like they don't need any help. Like I said, it's not about anything but a basic gesture. Yeah, you feel stupid when there is a second set of doors. Honestly, I'm not sure how to get around that one. I think I mostly rummage for my cell phone to look like I don't see the second set. I think angry man-haters invented the second set of doors. Well, fuck them! Punch them in the face when you see them.

In addition: Pay for everything. It's a personal gesture that people are more valuable then dollars. Offer your jacket when it's cold, offer your seat when you see a woman standing, and for fuck's sake, pull out her fucking chair before you sit.

3. Quick to apologize, quick to anger

There is a distinct problem with back-bone in our society. When you are wrong, admit it. Fuck. Being stubborn or indignant doesn't help you with anything but looking like a jackass. Saying "You know what? You're right," however, shows class that will elevate you above your common man. So check your ego when you have to.

On the other hand, if someone slights you, call them on it! If you would apologize, then there is no reason someone else shouldn't. It's just fucking disrespect. Most of the time people will tell you to fuck off, but that's alright! It serves as your opportunity to get loud and make sure EVERYONE around you knows EXACTLY what happened and who the douche bag is. Social scorn is more then enough to get your point across.

Damn, I have very manly manners. I am fucking awesome, just never knew it. Versus I agree with you here, too many people have lost respect for their dignity and the respect of others.

I also don't know how to deal with the accursed double door entry way, but usually women are just glad that you made an effort to make the gesture of kindness. Now a couple times the girl stopped and held the second door for me. What the hell are you supposed to do in that situation and still come out with your manliness.

I KNOW! The second set is the most annoying fucking thing EVER!! It's either close the gap to catch up and open the second set, or let them open it for you! Maybe trying holding the door above their head when you catch up? It should work if you're not short like me and if you don't have B.O.

I think I would not advise a lot of men to be quick to anger. I get the intent of that one, but there's too much of that in our society now. From road rage to spousal abuse, anger spurs too many of the inappropriate responses to many of the problems of the day.

And you can call someone on being wrong without being angry about it ... it's almost always better if you do it WITHOUT the attitude.

Honestly, anger has nothing to do with being manly. In fact, it's a crutch and a poor substitute for real strength.

Versus, what's the delegation of dude's view on women who expect, demand and create drama about a guy paying for everything? I'm not talking about paying for a first date and such like, I'm talking about women who demand that literally everything (dates, clothes, shoes, make up etc etc) they want is paid for by their bf.

That's terrible. I mean I feel that I should, as being a responsible boyfriend, pay for the expenses of a date, but I refuse to be taken advantage of and have gone through a few girlfriends because of that issue. Am I wrong?

I ask based on the fact that one of my younger sisters is constantly telling me I pursue my relationships in the wrong manner because I don't take guys for a ride and make what I see to be, outrageous demands for things being bought for me all the time. It's nice to be treated nicely but seriously, is she wrong or am I?

I can't speak for women, but as a guy, that would piss me off. I would probably be resulted in verbally slaping the shit out of her. Not physically, I could never bring myself to cause physical harm to another person intentionally, let alone of a female, but my verbal assault would feel as a slap of tremendous value.

Anger is a man's default and only emotion. I'll get to you when I get home from work!

That really depends on the individual relationship. Some men don't have a problem with it, others won't tollerate it.

Personally, I think you have to look at the give and take of a relationship as a whole. If, for example, someone doesn't have any income, it's implied that the other be expected to pay for everything, to include all the bullshit that a lot of women buy. That's fine under the condition that they contribute in other aspects.

If someone (man or woman) is just being a gold digging leech however, they deserve an uppercut.

Nope. You should open the door for all women if you want to meet the chivalry standard. Whether you want to do it for a guy is up to you, but it shouldn't be exclusively for smecks. If you did it just for people you want to see naked, then it defeats the purpose. Unless the purpose is smecks.

I open doors for everyone, I also always walk ahead of boyfriends, so I end up doing it before they can even reach the door handle.

Whoever has the least amount of stuff to carry gets to open the door, which is usually me as whenever we have a bunch of stuff Jake insists on loading up like a pack mule in order to carry as much as physically possible. Personally I think he looks like an idiot trying to look around a stack of boxes or having 6+ grocery bags hanging off of him while I’m walking next to him with my purse and perhaps a water bottle. I bet our neighbors think I’m a spoiled princess (Okay so I am a spoiled princess but that has nothing to do with this).

If you get to the door first you open it and hold it open for anyone else coming through, unless you have an absurd amount of stuff bogging you down at which point you laugh and sort of wobble/move your head to request some assistance.

Just say "Thank you" - because that's manners right? I like it when people hold the door open for me, mainly because I'm either pushing a pram or towing a toddler and it makes my life easier.

But then I always say Thank you to people who give way to me and let me go first.

Versus - i agree about calling people out, but anger is not the way to do it.

These are the rules I generally go by. If some one gets to the door before me, I make sure and say thank you and smile the biggest and prettiest smile I can muster.

Ah Sir, sometimes you make me regret my gender...

That reminds me of something.

On army posts, pedestrians have the right of way. Like, if you're driving and you see someone who obviously wishes to cross the street, you are required to stop and allow them to cross even if you're not at an intersection.

Well it fucking pisses me off when I walk somewhere and stand there for 10 minutes because someone thought the traffic would be alright when you pack 80,000 soldiers and tell them to come to work at the same place and the same time. Thus, when someone actually does the right thing and stops, I give them the "thank you" wave and jog across the street.

Another thing that pisses me off is, when I'm driving and I see somebody who intendeds to cross, they don't even acknowledge that I stopped for them and take their sweet fucking time across the street. Or the arrogant douche bags that don't even look for traffic before they start to cross.

FUCKER, I WILL RUIN YOUR DAY. PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION.

And stuff.
