My neighbor apparently has an aversion to ducks.  I remember a couple of years ago he complained that one morning he saw a duck in front of his unit.  I can understand somebody complaining about a skunk (with good reason) or a snake (any snake if the person is ignorant and has a deep seated phobia of ALL kinds of snakes).  But a duck?  Go figure.

Mars, hope you stop by now and then and visit us here. And regardless of your feelings toward whatever country you choose to find a mate in, or whatever your feelings you hold towards certain members here in PL, I just want to offer you my honest and sincere, best wishes towards meeting and finding the soulmate, the partner, the lover and the best friend that you need in your life to make it complete and fulfilled. Each of us as men, women, or whatever, seek to find someone who will look past our weaknesses, respect us and want us, need us and see us for who we truely can be. And really they could be from any country in the world, regardless of color, race and creed cause human beings are versital and dynamic, and they all have one thing in common they need love and in a way we need each other.

This board may have just already served it's purpose in your life...It may have now completed that for you. And now as you travel down this road of life in a new relationship with your friend in China, I hope it brings your life joy and hope, as you reach for the need that is universal in all of us..The need for finding Love, after all that's what I think originally Planet Love was meant to be all about. Go carefully,

Zeb

MARS:

Many of you guys believe I am dirty s.o.b. but actually if any of you were in trouble, you would find me to be a steadfast ally. But like many people, I really find it distasteful when I see someone constantly barraging another over his/her opinion like they solely occupy some sort of moral high ground. Right or wrong...It really ticks me off.

STEPHEN:

But the posts you made over the last several days were those of a pushy, dirty, s.o.b.  You tried to shove yourself on other people.

You're right about being on the wrong board.  I think China is a good place for you.

for the most part.  In the end, perhaps you got a bit out of line, but I guess your back was probably against the wall.  I know alot of stuff you said is not popular or politically correct, but the truth is the truth.

Personally, I want to find a pinay wife someday.  I'm very much aware of the risks and will do what I can to avoid being burned, and fight like hell and am aware of many possible angles of attack in the event somebody does try to rake me over the coals.  

What irks me (but I'm used to it now) is when some self-righteous leader of the pack persistently covers up the incidence of golddiggers and green card sharks be calling anybody that speaks up about this issue as "racist".  That only serves to encourage such behavior.  Well, let me say this.  I have an older Filipino friend who belongs to the same parish as myself.  He's been in this country since 1957 (used to serve in the military) and he's proud of his heritage.  But he looks at the world objectively.  Yes it's hard to grapple with the fact that when looking for love in the Philippines it's a very high risk proposition.  But it's true.  When my friend took a biannual vacation in the Philippines this spring, I asked him if he could introduce me to single girls he came in contact with (showing me picture and telling about me).  He said he could not, in good faith, do that.  His opinion is that it was too high of a risk that a girl would just use me to get to the United States and then divorce me as soon as she could.  As a good friend, he wouln't allow anybody to try to do that to me and if something did happen, would not in any way want to feel indirectly responsible.  The point is that nobody can call him a bigot on the premise he acknowledges to prevalence of moral turpitude amongst the people of his country.  He told me that things will simply never improve (economically and socially) in the Philippines and that there'd always be problems because of prevailing attitudes, ethics, etc.  Having followed the sagas on this board for the past two years, indeed I have seen a few misfortunes.  The very thing any guy looking for love wants to steer clear of.

For all the bads about issues pertaining to seeking love with a pinay, there are good stories too.  I've witnessed in my social sphere happily married Fil-Am couples in healthy relationships.  Just on this board, I have special admiration for Febtember.  Her love for her husband shows and glows just by the way she posts on this board.  Sally & Jimbo are another fine example of a marriage based on love.  Actions speak louder than words.  Personally, I'm "casting my net" by sending letters to the Philippines.  My hopes and my prayers are that someday I will have a very special pinay in my life.  It doesn't matter whether I meet her in Rhode Island, the Philippines, or perhaps another country, so long as she can and will love me for what I am.

Yeah, kev, I must have had his back against the wall when he suggested my mother blow him. That was the 3rd insult against my family. Yeah, he was a real class act...

if I overlooked such remarks.  Until up to now, I thought Mars was a pretty decent, level-headed guy and "told it like it was."  The strings got so long, I skimmed alot.  I'm guessing too that he knew little about the people he was posting insults at or their circumstances.  In the past, he corroborated with me, in a respectful manner, when I had to say something that was unpopular.  When Howard was going through his ordeal, I thought Mars' position was very sound.  I personally beleive that Howard was misled by somebody he trusted (I won't say a name) in emotional desparation that things would be what they once seemed to be.  But look where it god him.  In deeper straits before he finally accepted the fact that he had to salvage his life and move on.

Hi Kev.

I figured you missed that. Knowing you, I don't think you would have sided with him, had you seen it.

As for the situation with Howard, I don't think anyone would mislead him. Maybe poor advice, but Howards a big boy, and made his own decision's based on what info was available at the time. Can't blame someone else for his problems. Howard doesn't.

I'm sorry again about my fart post before. Didn't mean to offend you. I REALLY though a fart video was funny , too. I wasn't laughing at you. I lost alot of friends over that fart post. I just had a bad morning that day.

Kevin: “What irks me (but I'm used to it now) is when some self-righteous leader of the pack persistently covers up the incidence of golddiggers and green card sharks be calling anybody that speaks up about this issue as "racist"…”

Really? Did someone say you were a racist? Who might this “self-righteous leader of the pack” be anyway? Do you think you could point out some instances where every time someone brought up the subject of gold diggers or green card sharks, they were called a racist? I don’t remember that Kevin. Are you sure that didn’t happen on another forum maybe? Or is that just your imagination running wild again?

Curious minds want to know…

DumB!! You know of whom Kevin's talking about(U have bullied him on this board for years, he has never done anything to You). I can say it Loud and Clear...Your the Bully on the Block. What you said in Your above Post about Mars disliking me blab blab is actual your own feelings toward me. Thats okey, I'm used to being unpopular here. Anyway, Mars and Filipinas from Pl has frequently emailed me, if He disliked me as much as You claim, then he wouldn't do it. Get Your facts straight before Posting such Negatives. Thank You

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your comments. Would you like to explain to us just how I am “bullying” Kevin? I only asked him a simple question. If Kevin can post insulting comments and accusations about someone here, then I have every right to respond. Why don’t you let Kevin defend his own comments?

I’m not playing Greg, but it seems that you are.

I was never good with my words..Some day Your gonna meet your match. At least I don't have to show any Intelligence..I can think of many Guys on both Latin and Russian board that can run You off with their Intelligence )

Don't play that game with me Greg. You never have any trouble finding the words when you want to insult others.

You don't have to be good with words to answer my question. Exactly how was I bullying Kevin? You made the accusation, now back it up and explain it to us.

If you're only trying to start a fight Greg, then go somewhere else. I won't play your silly game.
