Thank you very much on behalf of the species.

Maybe, if just ONCE I had been treated with a little of that decency and kindness that women are alleged to possess, things would have been different. But, if being required to: buy cocaine for them, let them get falling down drunk every time we go somewhere, co-sign loans for them and having them walk a few months later (and quit paying on the loan), let them sleep with my freinds and brother and swipe money out of my wallet is the normal and accepted way to maintain a relationship I don't want any part of it.

Have yet to meet a woman who isn't a materialistic, whiny selfish jerk who isn't already married. A mans tolerance for asshole behavior only goes so far. I let it go far enough as it is.

Dude it isn't women, you are just a push over wuss. I have a feeling if you were a chick men would be doing the same exact thing to you. If you let a women (or a series of women) do that to you how can you expect them to respect you? Not trying to be mean but sheesh. Google David Deangelo, he gives pretty good advice and will help you recognize certain "red flags" to where you can bail before stuff like that happens. I am not being a smart ass, I am actually trying to help. I was never in your situation but confused enough to where that stuff helped me out when I needed it and maybe it can help you too.

Good luck (seriously)

vevolis: I'd let him file my income tax.

While you're wasting time having him file legal documents for you, I would like to enjoy some sexual relations with Mr. Bale.

/if is wife doesn't mind, that is

Maybe she's a white trash cow that's barely worked a day in her life and has a drug problem. I wouldn't give her money in that case either. I would love to see these assholes prying into these people's lives for this ridiculous "news" all dropped into a pot of molten lead.

PhotoCindy This thread needs more pics.

Would... umm... ride it like an angry god. What exactly is the fem-equivalent to "hit it"? Whatever it is, damnit, I'm there!

Cutting out greedy people from your life is sometimes the best thing you can do for your well being, this includes family members.

Now instead of being denied once, the coont will be estranged. Good work.

I'm getting a kick out of all of the people using currency converters here. The fact is that using the dollar-pound conversion rate of the moment isn't going to give you any kind of picture of what the house is worth in local terms. It tells you what YOU would pay for it, but that doesn't do anything to place it in the context of the local economy.

It's a bit like saying "I own a 2000 square foot house built in 1995" and using that information as a basis for pricing without taking into account that the price of a house with those characteristics is going to vary a great deal depending on whether it's in Omaha or Miami.

Was it the Emotion Police that arrested him in the first place?

Dad??

All women are whiny and trade money for sex. Don't kid yourself. Some are just more tolerable than others.

/and than there are the sluts.
//mmmmm...sluts.

Let me get a taste of that.
/ Mmmmmmm bitter. Just like I thought.

Actually, I think it's the poster of this little crabby rant. I think he's the problem. What self-aware man would allow himself to get involved more than a week with a coke sniffing alcoholic money stealing woman? I think you need to surround yourself with better people and get a backbone.
If that is all you've seen, that's all you know - but blanket statements are a really weak argument.

Oh, and I would ask Mr. Bale for $200,000 just to have him slap me around the a little while. Mmmmmmmmm......been hot for that man since I first saw Newsies when I was 13. Yum.

I dunno, if I had as much money as he does, I'd probably have already set my family up well without them asking. It may be a little douchey to ask, but unless this is just the most recent of a number of times they've asked for money, he's a little bit of a douche himself.

Don't know if this has already been said.. but giving money to people who aren't smart about money actually does MORE harm than good in the long run.

Why is it that something like 80% of lottery winners are back to where they started within 10 years of winning the lottry (irregardless of weither they won 3 million or 300 million)?

It's because if they were smart with money.. they wouldn't be spending 20 dollars a week on lottry tickets. So one in 50 million people get lucky once in a while and win and suddenly have more money than they ever would have otherwise.. and the instantly know how to invest and hold onto it?

It's also the failing of welfare and any other handouts. Human nature is why work if someone's giving you something for free?

I have a sister-in-law who is horrible with money. I would never in a million years loan or give her money under 99.99% of most circumstances. If I did.. it wouldn't teach her anything.

THE ONLY circumstance I would loan money to family or friends is if they had a huge run of circumstances that they couldn't control. IE.. lost job, followed by house burning down, followed by car accident and $50,000 worth of hospital bills.. then certainly.. I would help them out. But I wouldn't give them a loan.. I would just consider the money a gift and if they pay me back someday great.. if not.. so be it. If they are supposed to pay you back (and they most likely never will) it will be a constant source of friction.. so just consider it a gift.

Things like this is why money (lots of it) can sometimes be more of a curse than a blessing.

djmaverick: £100,000 "to help her raise her children?" What is going on here? Why do these people suddenly find a need for Gucci prams and diamond studded pacifiers once they think they can squeeze it out of somebody? Had she asked for £5000 she might have had a reasonable plea, but her demand for more money than most people in the world will earn in a lifetime confirms her status as a greedy, materialistic biatch.

True

FLMountainMan: TheGrayCat: GoddessPrime: Given that their step-mom is Gloria Steinem, this doesn't surprise me.

All sex is rape and any time a man doesn't give you exactly what you want without complaint, he's abusing you.

Citation, please. Steinem wasn't the one who said all sex was rape.

Sssshhhhhh.....let the misogyny flow. This is Fark, after all.

I wouldn't call that misogynism, talking shiat about one batshiat crazy biatch is not misogynism

Deathfrogg: GoddessPrime: All sex is rape and any time a man doesn't give you exactly what you want without complaint, he's abusing you.


Exactly right. The modern woman in a nutshell.



/threw up his hands and walked away 20 years ago

Now that, that is misogynism

Lot's of pity to Bale though. That dog of a sister on one side, Gloria Steinam on the other? No matter how good you've got it in other areas, annoying relatives are always there.

/loathes people who fake rape
//also loathes Gloria Steinam for being one of the people who discredits feminism
/// Even though she didn't say that

I came for the pics.
Thank you, fellow Farkettes.

FZ6: I just keep telling her that her family's going to hate me when we get married. As long as I have a mortgage on my house, I'm not going to let her keep buying stuff for other people's kids just because they think that they are entitled to it.

Good luck with that. For years my wife felt compelled to buy her nephew everything she bought our son. More than a few arguments there.

Me: "He has parents, let them buy him that shiat!"
Her: "They wouldn't buy that for him."
Me: "So? Why should I have to, he's not my kid!"

Don't get me wrong I like the kid (now grown) but why should I have to spend double on every occasion because his gainfully employed and fairly well paid parents would snort the cash? Ahhh...nevermind.

If only someone would repeat the same puns with his name 753x for this thread and the original. If only.

WTF does Gloria Steinem have to do with this? Also, that is Andrea Dworkin's quote you're mangling, not Ms.Steinem. You flaunt your ignorance.

FTA : "Jenny Bale lives in a modest £275,000, detached house in Southbourne, Dorset. .....
.....Sharon Bale - who lives very near her mother in a £240,000 semi-detached home"

WTF?
In England, a 1/2 Million dollar home is "modest"?
And yelling at a sponging relative is "assault"?

//And, seriously, the "loaning" his sister £100,000 isn't a loan, it's a gift.

FAIL. Gloria Steinem married Christian Bale's father about 5-10 years ago. I believe the father is deceased now. I doubt Gloria Steinem has anything to do with this bullshiat.

Man, some people will use any excuse to go all Limbaugh in a Fark thread.

Does anyone else have the problem of watching Batman and randomly thinking about Christian Bale running naked with a chainsaw?

/Yah, he will forever be "that guy" from American Psycho...

seadoo2006: Does anyone else have the problem of watching Batman and randomly thinking about Christian Bale running naked with a chainsaw?

I just have the problem of envisioning Christian Bale running naked all the time.

All I have to say is dear god, thank you. I must be alone now....

ESXgoddess If you helped to create a child you are responsible for it too. No negotiation.

Then I get some say in an abortion or don't have to pay, right? Didn't think so.

Well maybe if you ditched these women the minute they turned out to be greedy shallow whores instead of allowing them to walk all over you you'd be able to find a decent one.

Stop blaming my entire gender for the fact that you're too much of a doormat to break away from a toxic relationship. Learn a little self-respect, stand up for yourself, and stop putting up with horseshiat. Learn to say no and walk away and maybe you'll be happy. You're better of alone than with a coont, thats for sure.

ami5000 - Didn't Bale admit that a few years ago he almost went bankrupt and wasn't working enough to support his own family? He's probably playing it safe with his money now and giving money to family members is always a poor investment.


Yes, he did. He let it slip in an interview that back in 2003, he had to foreclose on his house. That was one of the darkest times of his life.

Now, if the guy is smart, which strikes me that he is, during this current time of plenty, he's not going to be throwing around his money. Batman money isn't going to last forever. Who knows what the future may hold. And if, heaven forbids, his roles dry up after this and the Terminator franchise, he will still have a nice nest egg to fall on.

That is, unless his family doesn't bleed him dry.

His family asked for 200 grand THIS TIME. We have no idea how much they have asked for in the past.

Bale has own future and family to think about.

And you can tell things are not good in the family, when your mom and sister just crash your hotel room to ask for a large sum of money out of the blue. Rather than asking Bale to come to their house, have some tea and discuss money issues.

Oh don't worry - it's a constant struggle. And I don't see it stopping anytime soon. I just could never see myself being okay with someone constantly buying things for my kids. That would pretty much drive me nuts. It's a different mentality though.

And that sucks...But yeah, that "Ahhh...nevermind" probably came in at a good point in that statement. :)

I'll have to write that one down.

Juniper Jupiter: Where are you GETTING these shower pics? Are you his personal stalker or something?

I can't reveal my sources. Let's just say, I didn't have to use a zoom lens.

/you're welcome!

hockeychick: Me too. Sorry for the rant. I just get really peeved at people who sit around and expect their every wish to be granted because they are female/male/white/black/purple with pink polka dots/ect. I worked my arse off to gain respect in my field (all 1200 acres of it). You just kinda came off like one of the uber-feminists, or at least I read it that way.

Glad to hear you work in IT. That's a tough world for women. Hubby is a network engineer and actually prefers working with women. Says they have a greater understanding of the big picture and not their small part of it.

No worries at all and thanks for the compliment from your hubby. :-) BTW, I happen to agree with you about people who expect preferential treatment based on an arbitrarily defined (and therefore uncontrollable) "difference". I just include men in there - lol!

I also have worked very hard all my life - I put myself through university then went back to upgrade and I'm the primary wage earner in my family. I have also almost always been the only woman in the room. And from my experience, I have found that people work best and are at their best when both genders are present.

And, SaltyDonnie, I find it hard to believe that you are a lawyer when you say things like :
You[r] worldview is that things are biased for men. While that was certainly true years back, and still is today in certain areas and to some degree, it does not justify tilting the law any direction.

Yes, it does when, for example, a man cannot be charged with rape if the victim is his wife. Sadly Canada had to wait until 1983 for this to be considered a crime.

The law applies to everyone equally. You don't get to screw men over as reparations/payback. Where is the "middle" you seek to reach and when would you realize you past it, and now the issue favors women? Would YOU scale back, or keep going? Would you realize it if it happened?

I'm surprised that you think that changes to laws are specifically designed to "screw men over". Laws evolve over time to reflect the changes in attitudes of the people whose behaviour they are meant to control. Naturally as more women become a part of the system overtly sexist and discriminatory laws are set aside.

Does that apply to decision making in abortion? If I can't walk away from my child (and I wouldn't) "you" can't either. Men don't get two bites at the apple like women get. (Choice to have sex and choice to abort). One spill and we're obligated.

Well, I would hate to seem reasonable in your eyes but that is a question for which I have no ready answer. Sometimes I feel that the father should have some say and other times I don't. I'm sorry to say but men have a long history of scampering once things get serious where for a woman it's a lifetime commitment to that child. There's only a short window of opportunity to abort and it's a life-altering decision regardless of which decision is made.

As for taking this personally ... well, I point to the familiar meme about arguing on the internets and the Special Olympics. So, I declare I am a feminist and will be one to the day I die and nothing typed on a webpage is going to change that. :-)

fark it, he should have loaned her the money and over reported it to the tax system. fark her come tax time.

I'm sorry, but I am thinking you may need to find a new circle of women to hang around. Or, you may possibly consider moving a few hundred miles away. If that still doesn't fix things, than I am sorry friendo, it's really just you.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility.
