370,000 babies will be born today

The most surprising thing is I don't think anyone is supporting you. Normally one or two posters will support any position no matter how contrary it might be.

Truest words in the thread.

Lancer, I think the Karen Mills project was noble, and that it was done for the right reasons. I have serious misgivings about all these marriage proposals. So please don't go and bring up how it's either one or the other.

For one thing this is the 'gay' Civ site and after Asher went to WPC and trolled me there

UNBELIEVABLE!

I went to WPC to help raise funds for my own house I was building for poor Filipino brethren.

You act like you have a monopoly on raising money to build compounds in the Philippines.

Apolyton: The Gay Civilization Site

Lancer, in all seriousness I've never had a problem with you. I remember years ago I actually quite liked you. But honestly, all of this Filipina-pimping just seems a bit over the top. Look at it objectively. A 50ish American living in the Philippines with a Filipina bride, who is actively trying to hook up his younger relatives-in-law with American husbands whom he met on the Internet. I'm not passing judgment, I'm just sayin' - look at it from an outside point of view, ya know?

[Al B. Sure!]

Dave:

I know it's creepy with it being the internet and all but take out the inherent creepiness associated with the internet...

Basically, I think he knows his relatives-in-law... like a nice, upstanding 18 year old girl or something, is going to have a tough time finding the right type of man in the Philippines. But the men on Apolyton are a relatively well-educated, overall good guy sample of the American, etc. (yeah I said etc. on a website founded by a Greek and a Canadian) population. And there's enough nerds on here and nerds seem to like Asian chicks.

If you think about it, why wouldn't he try to use this resource to make sure his relatives-in-law have good mates?

[David Floyd]

The obvious answer is, because people like me are on here.

Although I am against giving money (I'm kinda weird about "addressing the source and not the symptom"), I found the OP insipiring. I have no doubt that when more people speak in such terms, with such emotion and about such things the world (and yes, even apolyton) will be a better place.

I will try to be a better person, or at least think about it for a little bit, thanks to the OP. In fact, I feel a little guilty for the way I've treated some people (no, not the axis of evil - they can rot in hell).

Just to note, I am for giving time and I applaud those efforts.

[David Floyd]

Can you give me some time, and clean my apartment? Also, my sheets need washing

[Ecofarm]

Do I also get an all-access pass to the Austin nightlife? If so, deal.

If I lived in the Philippines, I'd do everything I could to help my family get elsewhere (if they wanted). Just like I don't blame Mexicans for doing everything they can to get into the US.

That said, yeah... there's a creep factor but Lancer seems sincere.

[David Floyd]

Done.

[Ecofarm]

Woo-hoo! Army days are here again!


Ok, here's the plan:

We get in with a group of chicks... drinkin, dancin, talkin, whatever. Let whichever of them is most interested make the move, and don't be picky about which one it is. Then, after she has an amazing night of lovin', she tells her friends about it, and they (being bar/club sluts) all want to try it too. This is how we rack up many scores over short periods of time. After we've been through the 2 or 3 groups of women at one place, we move onto the next. Of course, we can bounce around to different places but I don't want to miss any of the groups. You probably already know this, but I want to make sure.



ps. Sorry, Lancer. That was totally inappropriate given your nice and sincere OP.

Thank you Ecofarm, for your supportive words.

[Asher]

You gonna apologize for destroying my effort to build a home in the Philippines, Lancer?

[David Floyd]

Ecofarm, your game sucks.

Lancer, I'm not bashing you by any means. I'm just pointing out perception.

[Lancer]

No worries David Floyd, nice to see you posting.
