Buy a lamb… slaughter… profit?!?
Buy a smaller cow… slaughter… really profit?!?
Throughout my life we’ve done both… cow only a few times… lamb 3-4 times a year. And during hunting season… all sorts of deer meat.
to whoever said masculinity was innate, no, its always evolving, like our society. This video argues the danger of the media that transforms violence as the cultural norm. Especially for Blacks and Latinos.
You are all there arguing over the internet in a comfortable chair saying how you fighted all your life like a warrior and how life is fight or flight and blowing your ego.
Then on another thread you are talking about playing video games
You are a REAL MAN, you fight relentlessly.You are the real deal. You are really successful and everyone should acknowledge you. and after you go do your little visit to T-Nation
lol
Go on, fight other people all your life for your interest, for your mental image, you’ll really get there. You’ll get on the other side of the river where things are soo much better. The grass is always greener on the other side. You are so special someday in the future you’ll be happy and your self-centered grim and petty life will get everyone to recognise your grandeur.
I say that as long as you can live your life without problem and with some free time you are alright.

You dare say that video games aren’t manly? Shunned!
In addition, I usually don’t act like a grammar nazi, but how can you type ‘fighted’ and not think that something doesn’t flow?
P.S. I feel a lot of confusion could have been avoided in this thread if somebody just dropped the word ‘assertive’.

LOL.
What is there worth fighting for if you never enjoy any of it?
Food costs were one of several reasons that I moved from the city to the ‘country’, with country emphasized because its really just the outskirts of a large city. I own 10 acres where there are practically no zoning laws and I can do whatever I want.
Anyway, I keep 24 laying hens, six pigs, and 1 cow at all times, generally splitting everything fifty-fifty between personal use and selling for profit. If you have the freezer space, I absolutely recommend purchasing a cow and having it butchered.
There have been spikes in community-supported farming and the ability to purchase farm shares, which basically means that you and several other people all purchase shares of meat (or produce or both), and when that animal is ready for slaughter, the farmers deliver your portion of meat to you. This is mostly risk-free, and the effort involved is as simple as writing a check. If you go this route, just make sure you find out what the animals are fed and if they’re given antibiotics. A good farmer will have the space and resources to feed their cows off of hay and grass, and will avoid medication.
Do you live somewhere that will let you keep chickens? They are virtually maintenance free, they just spend all day sleeping or waddling around the yard. Fresh eggs last about six weeks sitting on the counter, and they have so much flavor compared to store eggs. Aside from that, 24 laying hens can make you a $60 - $70 a month, which will put a little more beef on the table.
Go hunting if you can–stalking and killing your meat is a lot more fun than trying to navigate past clueless people in Sam’s Club. Venison jerky smoked over a hardwood fire is incredible.
I was kind of fed up with the meat thing as well and decided to get stuff like beef, chicken, and lamb from local farms. Most have a website and price list you can browse, just to give you an idea. Once month I drive out to the farm with a large cooler and ice, and bring back around 28-30lbs of frozen meat, already cut. Costs me around 300$, but it’s grass fed organic. I figure if the stores are charging 14$/lb, why not at least get good quality meat. Don’t really know your income situation, but as a student I could not of done this, but once I got settled in the $300 a month was easily manageable.
oh hey im going to make my own beef jerky from 1.88$/lb roasts on sale tomorrow. I figure i can eat around 1/3lb a day of it and that adds 100g protein to my diet (its dried so it weighs less). On top of that ill eat ground chicken and ground turkey, and 2-3 times a week ill have a decent cut of steak.
Why does not being a pussy automatically mean being more violent? I didn’t really read most of this thread

…Because all of the pussies get really intimidated. If someone walks in the room with more confidence and accomplishment (whether that be physical, mental, or educational accomplishment), they make all of the unaccomplished feel very inadequate. Obviously the solution for a society where the majority seem to be more docile than ever is to ostracize all of the people that make them feel self conscious.
Therefore, big muscles, big money, big attitude and big personalities get shitted on. The last thing we need around here are free thinkers and over achievers.

Same reason why being violent makes you a pussy when there is no call for it. Any normal idiot can be tough and aggressive, actually there are more idiots using violence to solve problems then there are intellectuals solving problems. Using aggression to solve large problems is using your emotions such as anger, hatred, and disgust to guide you on your path. We as a male species need to let that aggression out (one of the reasons why I and most of us go to the gym.) But not to the point where we alienate our friends and family.
We all obviously want to be the best at something (Gym, Financially, School etc…) But there seems to be a trend here of people whining how no one is the same as them. As soon as someone is different from us, we call them “general” wimpy population. We hate on young kids who had the fortune of growing up in a good family, we call people with good genetics that only worked out half as much as you at the gym to be on steroids, we say people use drug money to buy expensive things when their education level is not as high, and so on. We ourselves actually hate as much as they hate on us.
They hate us for being different, and we hate them for being the same. But we are all flesh and blood.
X, When has someone made you feel inadequate when you stepped in a room? I have had people ignore me when I was trying to be friendly, but no would put me down in front of my face. You also mentioned how everyone is more docile, can you clarify that? When you push someone, do they just walk away instead of shoving back at you? Could it be because your size of being able to intimidate people? I don’t believe bodybuilders have ever been accepted in general population, yet you seem to think that there use to be an imaginary time and place where everyone was accepted for what they believed in.
Every great leader has stood out by blending in until they came into power; Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte… Face it you are neither of those, but luckily we live in a country where if you have a great idea to improve something, you are heard and everyone around the world can hear your message.

Why don’t you do exactly that, than?
Stop smiling if you don’t feel like it.
Kick people that need kicking.
Help those in need of help, will you?
And speak your fucking mind whenever possible.
If you can’t shout, be acerbic.
If you can punch, punch.
If you can break bone, break bone.
What’s the matter with you?
Fucking pussy.
Seriously, just be for real, people.
I don’t see the point. When someone gives you flak, act accordingly. Sure, you can’t beat your boss to pulp and I wouldn’t want to beat someone to pulp unless your life’s in danger. So don’t go on a killing spree only to say “But FF said so, officer!” in the aftermath. Thanks.
There’s (almost) always opportunity to communicate what you think of people if you really need that. You just have to find the right tone. Sometimes it might be a punch, sometimes only a punch line.
Just. Act.
Start today.
Hell, I’ve broken other kids’ noses, jaws and ribs in kindergarten and elementary. Almost offed someone in grammar with my bare hands. Until I had learnt the power of the word. Maybe that’s why I’m so peaceful right now.
I don’t know if you guys read my posts. Masculinity is inate. Violence and crime is in fact masculine (related to testosterone) I said masculinity does not always=good. You can channel those same simple instincts (for example in animals testosterone = nothing but kill other animals) in humans you can direct that same aggression into say lifting, creating a country etc.
Masculine again is not always good neither is feminity but they do exist and the good parts should be celebrated. There are cultural aspects of masculinity or feminity (clothes, cigaretts, hair length etc.) but the majority can be related to testosterone. I am aware that there is a whole science created to say that this is not true, womens studies etc. Just because they have a psuedo science to back it up doesn’t make it true. Just do the research offexts of prenatal, early postnatal and pubertal testosterone and estrogen.
The people who beleive this are not liars at first it was intellegent to realize that there are many things related to masculinity that are cultural they only missed the fact that that does not mean there is no inate masculinity.
You will notice certain aspects of masculinity pop up in all cultures, for the most part those are innate and related to testosterone.
Check out the will smith video for an example of aggressive positive masculinity (top of this page).
African americans in the history of this country had tougher more dangerouse living conditions. This conditiions increase and require more testosterone (masculinity). The culture simplply reflects that.
Just please please do the reseach on testosterone it is not rare or unknown at all. The sociology explaination is extremly outdated.

I swear to god there has to be some kind of secret agenda, where they are recycling media and slowly lowering the quality of it in order to destroy your memory span. Then the vegetarian fucking agenda promotes a lifestyle and diet that destroys the male species and turns them into pussies, removing the most physically capable individuals. They put fucking flouride in our water so we are docile. People fucking suck. Why is it that the skinniest little fucking teenage faggots in the gym take the most time at the water fountain? Why dont they let me take a sip before they take 10 god damn minutes to fill up their water bottle? I imagine smashing their faces into the spout every time i have to wait behind these motherfuckers.

I did. The book was about a society that encouraged promiscuity, lack of commitment, and lots of drugs.
Sounds pretty fun, actually.[/quote]

Wow, you sure do live in a bubble. Some of us can use that same “aggression” to drive us to perform better, to work harder, or to simply achieve more than average. Without extreme motivation, there are no extreme achievements. Some of us do not want to be average.

Who here is doing this? I think you are confused as it is usually very average people saying those things about us. I’m a big guy. Do you think most people immediately give credit to ny hard work? of course not. They immediately jump to the conclusion that I was always big and always stronger than average. Who the hell is saying people are using drug money simply because they buy something expensive?
You have been asked several questions by many in this thread that you have avoided. Why?
You were asked about how the hell some Ferrari ends up in your possession and how that has anything to do with guns pointed at your head and friends dying.
I don’t know if it is because English isn’t your first language or whether you are just slow but something is wrong with you.

Half of this country is on anti-depressants. the other half seems all too willing to give up freedoms for some false sense of security from the rest of the world. I would call that docile. People get lawyers now. They don’t face any immediate consequences for their actions. If this is the sort of world you think screams “masculinity”, again your perception is quite different than my own.

Wait, where the fuck did I write anything like that? Are you just arguing with yourself?
How about you explain the fucking Ferrari and how you afforded a machine like that.
What? Power to you is only demonstrated by being a ruler over a country? Your senator has more political “power” than you. Your local newswoman has more “social power” than you. How old are you?
The ‘pussification of men’ does have at least one potential upside, depending on how you look at it. It allows masculine men to stand out and makes them into novelties. Most of us who are disgusted by the anti-masculine mentality actually get a lot of satisfaction from defying it. If you carry yourself right I think you can ultimately benefit from the trend more than you have to suffer from it. But then again I’ve never been over 210, so I’m sure the really big guys attract more bad attention than I ever have.
