This thread is a perfect example of what happens in a effete culture lacking any meaningful Rites-of-Passage for males. One might characterize this posting as a demonstration in the shallow masculine. An authentic Rite of Passage are those wherein one's life hangs in the balance and the outcome not known in advance. Like those found on a battlefield, on top of a mountain, or in the middle of a desert. Character cannot be found putting all your little duckies in a row.
What this thread so aptly demonstrates is the life of a domesticated male who moves from his Mothers house by marrying someone who fulfills the same role and function that his Mother did when he was a child. Essentially, she wipes his nose and powders his rear end, and so forth. These types don't want relationships with the authenticity of a true partner, they want and desperately need mommy to care for them the rest of their lives.
What could be more pathetic than an emasculated male and trophy hunter?
What a steaming load. Your attempt at classifying people into neat little catagories is bizarre, but funny. Please continue. No trophies, but great photos this time. The east cape of Mexico was awsome fishing. Day one, I hooked a 200lb marlin that beat me up for 45 minutes before relenting. He's in the freezer. Most fun I've had with my clothes on. Day 2 was another marlin (released), 2 dorado, and 6 tuna. Day 3 was a huge rooster fish and another half dozen tuna. Granted, it was pathetic, but the tequila was plentiful, the weather perfect, the fishing spectacular, and I have a boat load of fresh fish.

Buteos, Do you consider a modern Male meaningful Rite-of Passage to those who have mastered the Current Pottery Barn Catolag or can name the fragerances for relaxation from Bath Body and Beyond?

Perfect! There is simply nothing on Earth as beautiful as wild game. I've got pictures coming this week of fishing in Mexico. What a hoot! I'll be back soon. Los Cabos airport could be the most screwed up cluster**** I've ever seen. Security? LOL!!! "Senior, what's in the big cooler?" - "fish" - "OK, you may go". Didn't even open it. Skipped my luggage too.

Poly, I think that is the basis of anything I've noted on this subject. Since you have spent years in a monastary, I know, you know, what I am talking about. After I completed my military service, I spent two years in a Jesuit Novitiate before leaving both the Jesuits and the Church forever. Anyway, I am due back on planet earth. |

Golly, All these references to war and playing soldier. Here I thought we were talking Hunting, fishing and Male rights of passage. How's your mastery of the Pottery Barn Catalog Coming. Can you get a merit badge for that? I have no doubt that the time I spend with my father and Grandfather in the woods had a deeper influence on my core then one would guess. The lesson I learned are easly transfered to my current conservative values.

Hey man, don't knock Pottery Barn. I have two houses to decorate.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

But my desk top is repleate with the finest catalogs containing anything from those decorative bottles with inedible fruit inside to hand crafted bedroom furniture from the sweat shops in China. Hell, I had to buy a metal rack to put them in.

I'm not attacking anyone's sexuality Chris, I know that you and I are both comfortable with ours. In fact, I'm asserting my right to shop at Pottery Barn and be an interior decorator while at the same time being a sensitive heterosexual who would be unafraid to share a Jacuzzi with you and Logan, as long as it was big enough that we didn't have to touch and there was cold beer.

I was.  quote: I find those who need to attack difference on this subject, to be repressing their own homosexual tendencies and desires.
That is quite a liberating admission from you. Hat off to you. Knowing is half the battle. Clearly you were first to bring up "male" rite's of passage, obviously we need to further break down those "male's" to those how engage in Hunting and Fishing to those who don't.
