Comment Re:It's to bad (Score 1) 546

So I was watching a hot rod video yesterday with my son. These two guys rented a Lambo and a hot rod. What they were surprised at, and what I was surprised at was that women were much more interested and gravitated to the hot rod over the Lambo, and men were more interested in the Lambo than the hot rod. We had a discussion in the house about it and decided that it was because men were interested in the engineering, power, and general sexyness of the lambo, and the women were interested in the ruggedness, artistic nature, and individuality of the hot rod. Also my wife said the guy with the Lambo probably has a small penis, but that's out of the context of this conversation.

Here's the video.

Am I the only one that things genetics, and the way our brains work has some angle on this? I mean, just watching my kids grow up you can give my son a stick and it's a gun, a bat, or he will combine the sticks with other sticks to build a fort. Give my girls a stick and they will break it and make candles for a cake they made out of sand. Granted the girls are willing to sword fight with the stick too, but they don't hold the long term interest in it that my son will.

Sexual tendencies don't mean sexual discrimination. Personally I'm hoping my girls will go into some sort of higher education type field, but if they are happy in life to be a mom and raise great children then who the fuck am I to get in the way of that dream.

We have a play room for my son and two daughters, who are only a 3 year spread apart. I try to teach my girls building and whatnot, but they will straight up take the Lincoln logs and make a cake out of them, or cookies. My littlest girl does nothing but talk about being a mommy to every doll, stuffed animal, or whatever. It's not like there isn't at least some genetic angle on this.

With that being said my girls are very creative with drawing, and enjoy building sand castles, and whatnot. But my son gravitates to trying to take my drills and hammers and do stuff.

If they write the website themselves, and have some sort of advertising for income then 2000 is fair. It doesn't have to be some big corporate conglomerate professional website. Sometimes doing things on a shoestring is a good way to start. Why burn a ton of cash if you don't get the people contributing the way you thought you would?

The job of a bank is to make money, as with any commercial entity :). Lending money, an screwing depositors is just how banks usually go about it, but sometimes they can foreclose on a well paid on property and jack up the legal fees to eat all the equity, so they do have other nice little streams of revenue :P
