You seem to have some sort of crusade thing going on. Try to keep it impersonal.

In order to make a point in any argument, it is often necessary to generalize. One can always find exceptions to the rule but that does not defeat an argument that is based on a generalization.

Any substantive demographic analysis of our recent presidential contests will show that single women overwhelmingly vote for the candidate that is the most socialist.

It is true that nearly all women are bred and raised to seek a provider (it may even be a natural instinctive trait) and when they are unable to find a provider in a man, they almost invariably look to society to provide for them instead.

Even when a woman is able to build her own career and provide adequately for herself, she is often still on the hunt for a provider. This may be an unconscious (and instinctive) desire to have an option in place to provide housing and food should she become pregnant and have to stay at home for an extended period of time. This could be a man, family members, a tribe, a community or the government. Women are simply not wired to be truly independent and office-seekers often play on that vulnerability in order to get themselves elected.

None of the above is meant to portray women negatively. But in order to be intellectually honest with ourselves, we must cast political correctness aside and see things for what they are.

Men, of course, are wired just the opposite. Generally speaking, they are bred and raised (and may even have the instinctive desire) to be providers. Men tend to not only go it alone when the going gets rough but they tend to refuse help even when it is offered to them. However, in this respect, we are beginning to have a sea change as men become more and more feminized by our culture. This is why our government is moving quickly towards socialism and totalitarianism. Up until recently, there were always enough men to offset the female votes for socialism but now that many feminized men are now voting like women, we have reached the tipping point.

No I’m not fascinated with Susan Boyle. Have I mentioned her before to you? As far as old and ugly - you and I are the same age but I haven’t needed plastic surgery and you have, and my husband is younger than me... Enough said

The press making someone's life a ruin is personal, at least to them. I feel sorry for the poor lady, to be honest.

Sorry to see you can't muster up the same level of compassion for her, but judge her as mentally ill without having a clue as to what she's going through, but what's being reported about her. That's not fair.

I was going to stand up for you because that was such a horrible thing for the other poster to say, but uh...you do just fine on your own. ;)

I have no love for the MSM, that's for sure.

She’s so predictable... claims she doesn’t care, isn’t the least bit interested in what any of us say, yet won’t let it drop..... she’s like a cat, fun to play with, but not very likeable.

Fame is horrible. It’s not for everyone. Maybe this is the only way she can get some peace and quiet for the time being, but I hope she gets it together and records a CD.

I know. She could end up in a locked ward, completely out of it on a dreadful cocktail of psychoactive meds.

You still have that thing going on, the post was a report of what the papers reported. And they are doing the same thing today. She will succeed in her niche market, she will not be another Tina Turner! etc, etc, etc!!

Please don't bring cats down to that base level! I have a Russian Blue and he's a loving bundle of fur. He's never insulted anyone on our forums either.

Actually there is a more appropriate word, though I dare not say it, I'm a member in good standing here on FR and I'd like to keep it that way (grin).

I’m pretty sure that the psychs she’s had contact with prior to the big night, have already done some damage.

She looked awful the other night. I could tell that something wasn’t quite right, and then I read that she’d been seeing some “doctors” in the days (or weeks) leading up to the big show.

I had my own brush with psychs many years ago, and learned firsthand that they don’t have the first clue of how to help anyone’s mental condition.

If you don't like Susan Boyle, which appears to be evident, that's fine, but you can't prevent other people from liking her, sticking up for her or appreciating her talent.

As for performers having mental problems, I think most of Hollywood qualifies. Their lives are a complete mess.

Trying to make things personal!!! And you followed up with a post doing the same thing again. I'm not required to like are dislike anyone. The woman will not make it in the general world of entrainment. But she will do will in her niche.

Let me be honest: This woman was not that great a singer. She lacked control over her vibrato, among other things.

But the gap between her looks and her sound are great; thus the interest in her.

I wouldn’t buy her album. She’s got an annoying voice, like Adam Lambert’s screeching voice. Like singing on MSG — startling, but you just can’t take too much of it.
