The 2nd Monday in August, a Rhode Island tradition. Known as VJ (Victory over Japan) Day until just a few years ago when the liberal pussies in the legislature changed it. It's now officially called Summer Day or some bullshit like that but everyone still calls it VJ Day.

I wondered why those bastahds in Exeter got the day off.

We were the last state to officially celebrate Victory over Japan, an era has ended forever.  :cry:

In western societies these days the general rule is:
personal happiness > making a move that will improve your family's station in future generations.

:huh:

There are more hot women than there are rich men, so it's not like they're turning down rich guys left and right.
Depends how you define rich.
Rich rich then yeah.
But there's plenty of middle class men and some hot working class women.
Indeed

That's because everyone else has realized that Japan ended up defeating us in the end. See: Lettow

On my Facebook page's right side among other stuff, came up a dude with an EU flag behind him.  I was like :wtf: who is this guy. First line was his name, then the second line read "*Martinus* is a fan"
And I was like "oh, he is gay"

Quote from: HVC on August 10, 2009, 11:28:21 AM
New money marries the hot ones, old money marries within class and keeps a hot one or two on the side.

From what I've seen of rich people the reality is more prosaic: rich guys, new money or old, simply do not associate with people outside of their class much; they tend to go out with people they meet socially; and they are just as concerned as the non-rich what their family and friends will think of their significant other.

That said, certainly some are willing to marry beautiful golddiggers. Though even in that case, the most common pattern is for rich guys divorcing their first wives to marry younger women who are, as it were, in danger of falling out of the upper class. Marrying women who have worked in the porn industry is I would think pretty rare.

If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

- Eyal Yanilov.

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.
