More From Tom G. Palmer

Commitment is different in males and females. in females it is a desire to get married and raise a family. in males it means not picking up other women while out with one's girlfriend.
Girlfriend Mean Commitment
It is amazing to observe how many psychologists and psychiatrists have accepted this sort of propaganda, and have come to believe that homosexual males and females are discretely different from persons who respond to natural stimuli. instead of using these terms as substantives which stand for persons, or even as adjectives to describe persons, they may better be used to describe the nature of the overt sexual relations, or of the stimuli to which an individual erotically responds.

While i have often said that all men out to be free, yet i would allow those colored persons to be slaves who want to be; and next to them those white persons who argue in favor of making other people slaves. i am in favor of giving an opportunity to such white men to try it on for themselves.
Opportunity Men White Man
Like all xhosa children, i acquired knowledge mainly through observation. we were meant to learn through imitation and emulation, not through questions. when i first visited the homes of whites, i was often dumbfounded by the number and nature of questions that children asked of their parents-and their parents' unfailing willingness to answer them. in my household, questions were considered a nuisance; adults imparted information as they considered necessary.

You and i are forever at the mercy of the census-taker and the census-maker. that impertinent fellow who goes from house to house is one of the real masters of the statistical situation. the other is the man who organizes the results.

Certainly, last year we did an episode about the census and sampling versus a direct statistic. you just said the word 'census', and people fall asleep.

One of the most unattractive human traits, and so easy to fall into, is resentment at the sudden shared popularity of a previously private pleasure. which of us hasn't been annoyed when a band, writer, artist or television series that had been a minority interest of ours has suddenly achieved mainstream popularity? when it was at a cult level we moaned at the philistinism of a world that didn't appreciate it, and now that they do appreciate it we're all resentful and dog-in-the-manger about it.

But you could miss me with all that, diss me then crawl back. i really wish yall would fall back, but gettin rich suppose to solve that.

It's just like music when you reckon it up. it's like, listening to pavement, it's just the fall in 1985, isn't it? they haven't got an original idea in their heads.

There is much in american society which i admire, but i have long held the view that the absence of an effective safety net in that country means that too many needy citizens fall by the wayside. that is not the path that australia will tread. nor do we want the burdens of nanny state paternalism that now weigh down many economies in europe.
