what do u do when u get bored??

[bakofoil 27]

You're a research fellow at an Ivy League school and get off on bashing the English skills of people who aren't native English speakers and throwing in some Latin? Ok, you're furious but what you have in education you clearly lack in tack. I can see how this exchange could happen on a very controversial issue but over a sex toy? Not very classy and you're no lady.

She already apologised for that and therefore is very much a lady. I am rather sorry now that I mentioned it at all - especially since the OP is now using it in her own support and has failed to apologise for her racist and inappropriate sexual comments.

Read the thread before making comments like that. Elmcitymaven has certainly showed class where it is severely lacking in others.

maybe the fact that i know the OP personally is the reason i posted my comment.... and for the fact that i know the OP forgot to put "this" between been and wonderful...

:bonk:

Look, I do not care about other people's sex life - especially the one in public place. But....just imagine....if whoever got offended with the sex toy suggestion had thought that maybe the suggestion was made jokingly?

The same way that we are - who does not know the poster personally - expected to know that she "probably" does not mean what she wrote?

And we probably wouldn't have gone through the whole discussion about what most american prefer which I think is rude. My wife is from Indonesia (which means she is Asian) & I think she is great but my & her personal preference is no way representative of what most american men want.

Look, sweetheart, I really don't want to start flinging around my credentials here, but let's leave it at the fact that I'm a research fellow at an Ivy League university. I think I know just a smidge about reading comprehension, capiche? Great. Now let's dig in.

You say very openly, "my sex life has never been wonderful" (which, by the way, is WAY more than I need to know and WAY more than I have ever divulged about my own conjugal bliss). How is this not talking about your sex life in public? I now know that your sex life has never been wonderful, I am a member of the public reading about this on a semi-public website. Ergo, you are talking about your sex life in public. Quod est demonstratum, my dear.

Earlier, you said, "i rather have my husband's d*ck than using that st*pid toy!" Putting aside the lack of a verb and the poor sentence structure, you are actually drawing attention to your husband's anatomy, which frankly is a little rich for me at this time in the morning, when I am still working on my morning latte. Again, you are revealing your sexual predilictions in a public forum, which is frankly very bad form. Oh, wait, what was that you said this morning? Something about breeding. I would suggest that whilst ginger's original suggestion was a bit saucy, it wasn't nearly as sexually explicit as some of the things you have written. Just a tip, from one lady to another.

You're a research fellow at an Ivy League school and get off on bashing the English skills of people who aren't native English speakers and throwing in some Latin? Ok, you're furious but what you have in education you clearly lack in tack. I can see how this exchange could happen on a very controversial issue but over a sex toy? Not very classy and you're no lady.

I don't really see where maven has been tactless. Her ability to read was called into question, and she responded accordingly. Furthermore, she did later admit that she went a bit overboard in calling out the OP English skills. She hasn't attempted to defend the defenseless like the OP has done in this thread. Continually.

And if you think maven isn't a classy lady, you should really look into the definitions of both classy and lady. The OP is the one who has made several references to her husband's anatomy using an extremely vulgar term. Definitley not classy. Nor are her constant racist attacks ladylike.

i think these women just can't accept the fact that what i said about the divorce rate is true. Philippines doesn't have divorce but we do have annulment which is basically the same thing..but still compared to the ratio of the separation of couples nothing beats Euro/american people. accept it.

You really should show us some statistical proof that Philippine marriage annulment is less prevalent than "european/american" divorce. You are making an assumption and revealing a derogatory point of view towards people from those countries. If you have such a lack of respect generally, then why did you seek marriage to an American?

Ah, therein lies the (real) question!

And also hannyp, why you are 'finding facts' on the internetz, please do find us the rate of divorce among American men/Filipina wives. We are anxiously awaiting.

Here's a rather harsh article I found:

Any others ones I found were on filipina sites & therefore obviously biased.

Um, I believe the term is "tact," something you were lacking when you jumped into the thread over the UK forum recently, throwing brickbats about British food, people and architecture. Hello pot, this is kettle calling. You're black.

And, I'm not furious, really; I think this exchange is a hoot. I also apologised for the cheap shot I made, which may not fully compensate for my previous words, but it was at least an attempt to do so, which is more than I can say for some around here.

i would want to say something about how vibrator is connected to the divorce thing but that would be a nasty thing to say here on a public board. tight!

and i think now that these people know that i have a point, they now want to point out my english. but as always..nobody wins..not these people who are trying so hard to pull someone down not even me..but we do learn something here..

It must be said: Your attitude towards Americans and Europeans is loathesome.

The only point you have made here today is to point out how ignorant and racist you are.

i may be ignorant about vibrators, never tried it and would never try it.

if u use vibrators when u get bored, good for u! at least u satisfy ur needs!

and about being racist...if u call it that way..hey if it makes u happy FINE!!

but this is a free country..a public forum..say anything u want to say..i say anything i want to say! especially if im the one who created the thread!

oh! and thanks to u! this has been such an exciting day!!! B)

[filirican 3]

Sigh. Reason fails once again on VJ in the face of hypocrisy, ignorance and a whole rash of irritating smilies.

Right, back to the day job, working on improving international capital markets. Peace out, sweetie pops!

You just said it. Please don't take the moral high ground here.

Still doesn't negate the fact that you are the only person here who has discussed your sex-life publicly.

why some people just love to be hypocrites???

ooh, 3 typing as we speak. I can hardly wait for misued icon postings & anti-American statements.

[bakofoil 27]

oh ok, that makes sense

I guess we cured your boredom for a while. Your husband should thank us.

[filirican 3]

Hmmm... Let me channel the Amazing Kreskin here for a moment.

"Tight"

So, the reason why divorce rates are so high in the US is because American women are a bunch of vibrator-utilising slags, whose use of marital aids has left them loose-fannied? And then THAT leads to divorce because their husbands like it better "tight"? And because Filipinas don't use vibrators, they remain "tight" longer, which means that men want to stay with them?

Like, wow. If I had just dropped acid, I would totally love your logic here.

[bakofoil 27]

ooh, 3 typing as we speak. I can hardly wait for misued icon postings & anti-American statements.

What ultimately intrigues me here is the following question: Isn't she concerned that her American husband might divorce her? Especially after publicly announcing things aren't up to much in the bedroom department.

[no name 1]

tight!

what do you mean by that?

Yes, please tell us.

"This is not at all to say that Filipino wives of foreigners married them for the sake of getting the nationality but that there are Filipino women who are willing to do this to get out of the Philippines."

as quoted in the article...

such nice words from a classy lady!

[*julez* 124]

Typical. You love the freedoms this country has to offer, and yet delight in bashing this country's people.

Your "arguments" make no sense.

And in case you hadn't noticed, this thread stopped being about a silly vibrator suggestion a long time ago, and about your ignorance and racist attitudes. Get with the program.
