Things are definately messed up & topsy turvey today in USA. Other parts of the world are nowhere near as wierd as some parts of US society has become. I'll be teaching him all about the Founders, Constitution, history, and showing him examples from history Men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and all the Founders and men who fought and died for the freedom of USA. Those were ALL 100% real men Today too many American men are too focused on not offending anybod, like they are tiptoeing on egg shells or being metrosexual or trying to please everybody. Nobody likes a wuss or a kiss ass.
My grandfather was a professional boxer and taught my dad and I how to properly throw punches and fight. My lessons were given under the strictest of understandings that I would never use these skills to start a fight, only to finish them. I'm happy to report, that's the way it has been. I was also told that a gentleman never hits a woman. So back in my school days, when I was attacked by a fellow student in the locker room, I used my learned boxing skills to beat him up rather severely. A few days later, his girlfriend cornered me in the hallway and started a revenge fight. She spat, kicked, scratched, punched, and generally was much more viscous than her much more powerfully built boyfriend. I refused to punch back and merely attempted to block as many of her attacks as possible... but still got myself pretty badly beaten up. Even while nursing deep and painful scratches on my arms in the immediate aftermath, I felt that it had been the right thing to do to lose that particular fight. All the best, Andrew.
The current state of young American males is rather distressing and alarming. Millions of young men are either slackers, fat, lazy, drugged, drunk, ignorant, dont care or all of the above. I see these guys covered in tatoos, or walking around w their underwear sticking out, or whining about "Evil" America while wearing a Tshirt w some mass murderer like Mao or Che on it. WTF?!?! How stupid & clueless are these guys? One of the most powerful quotes I ever heard was by Martin Luther King who said, "Be ashamed to die until you have accomplished something for humanity" I dont know what I have accomplished for humanity apart from passing on my genes but I know I have accomplished an enormous amount for my extended family & business. Theres so much to do on this Earth. People to meet and help plus caring for animals and fighting cruelty. Right now I'm involved raising funds to send to Japan to help the people there Everytime I think I have problems I just think of the people of Japan who lost everything and all my problems just fall away like mist. Sometimes I just have to fight back the tears. Luckily I have a friend who is a Zen monk at an ancient Buddhist temple in Kyoto and we are working together to help rebuild Japan in a small way. I know the US military is there aiding Japan but I have to do something personally or I feel I'm shirking my responsibility to people in their time of need Then I think of the problems America has now and the economic problems that will only get so much worse soon and I try to find a way to help America back on the track our Founders set for us. Theres A LOT of important work to be done requiring real men to do it I suppose what I'm getting it is 1 of the hallmarks of a Real Man is that when it hits the fan they are prepared, ready, willing, & able to step up and meet the challenge and work to find a way around it. Real men dont sit around being fat, lazy, ignorant, stupid, dirty, whiney beeotches They go out and "Sieze the Day" As Julius Caesar said
If looking for what real men do, one place may start with the suggestion from Robert A. Heinlein in Time Enough for Love:
