I knew it!

The rest of us have seen enough of her posts that we’re fairly sure they’re not.
Cruz Bustamante was such a wimp in his campaign and his ads (vote no on the recall, yes to Bustamante? There’s an enervating message) that it seems pretty clear that one of the reasons Swarzenegger was elected was machismo. Maybe even sven overstated her point, maybe not. And for the record I do know people who vote for one candidate over the other because one seems spineless or less aggressive. Like it or not, Ahnold seemed to embody something that our culture values.
The flaw in her argument is that Arnold doesn’t have a particularly large penis. Check out his nude scene in Terminator. Not that it’s not a respectably-sized penis, and in fairness he may be a grower, not a shower, but it’s really not anything to write home about.
This is what I get pitted for? Not the fact that I’m a raving loony broke commie who hated “Gladiator” or something?
Okay. I guess I should point out that there is nothing wrong with penises (I’m known to have fun with them every once in a while) but I just don’t want to have to watch one on TV all the time.
We maqy hqave to disagree, Otto. True, it’s not freakishly large, but that doesn’t appeal to me anyway. Arnold has quite a nice-sized Little Arnold and it would definitely get my attention at the gym.
Actually, a lot of people share your opinion about that movie.
Anyway, this is a first in that I agree with a post you made. The rhetoric used is a tad silly, but your essential point that Arnold was elected through dazzling the gullible public with movie star machismo and star power is absolutely right. People voted for him because he’s Ah-nuld, not because he espoused sensible policies. The content of his speeches were chiefly rehashed oneliners from his movies: “Hasta la vista, Gray Davis. You’re terminated.” But not one voter can say that they knew what exactly Arnold planned to do once he got in office. They didn’t vote for ideas, they voted for celebrity.
Didn’t you see that Rolling Stone cover?
Threatened? No. Annoyed by the innanity of it? Yes.
Dickweed.
If even sven meant her posts as humor I’m sure she would clarify it’s meaning for those who have taken her seriously. As it stands I’m more inclined to agree with posters who find her views not very insightful or enlightening on this issue. Penis envy indeed.
You’ve already been pitted once this week for being incredibly stupid and obnoxious about genitalia. That should have made you think twice before posting a criticism of someone else’s more intelligent (whether credible or not) application.
I could have lived my WHOLE LIFE without that mental image.
Rysler- A nitpick, for sure, but are nipples technically genitalia?
I find then hot,… Oh, never mind.
Perhaps someone feels threatened by Arnie’s enormous man-boobs?
Ummmmm, Man-Boobs…
Being a Gemini, my genitals never know what to expec—
::ssssssgg::
I burning your penis??
It’s quite bovious that all your penis are belong to us.
<Wolfcastle>They know you’re talking about them…</Wolfcastle>
Nah, we already know who had the bends.
What led to the OP is no big deal anyway. Just more of even sven thinking that the way to demonstrate her maturity is to say “penis” a lot.
Makes her sound more like a 5-year-old who’s just discovered a naughty word.
If this were a true statement then don’t you think Mr. Gore would be our president right now?
even sven needs to Spiro Agnew. That’s all there is to it.
