Opposites
John Butch Preston
My name is Ned. We went in opposite directions yesterday; she went one way and I went the other way. This serves to define a word we often misuse. To be rich is not the opposite of being poor. To be educated is not the opposite of ignorance. They simply differ in degree from one another.
Opposites can be competition and (can also be complementary.)
Day and night are not opposites. Apples and pears are not opposites. Male and female are not opposites. Two fully evolved males are opposites, as are two fully evolved females. A red pear and a yellow pear are opposites. A moth and a crow are not. The Old Testament and the New Testament are opposites. Muslims, Christians, and Jews are not. A strong man and a weak man are opposites, as is a pretty woman and an ugly woman—again opposites can be competitive or complementary, and they don’t necessarily attract.
So if males and females are not opposites what are they? At base, they are simply two entities of the same species, in other words, co-humans of equal validity, though physically, sexually dissimilar. While they sometimes look at life differently, they share practically the same values. So why do we, as a rule, continue to put males in front of the room and females in the back, placing them in unnatural opposition? It beats me!
Once again – pure dumbass
that’s not nice
Sir, with all due respect, I have no idea what in the world you are still doing writing for any paper. I cannot fathom why anyone would desire to keep you as a writer. This makes a grand total of zero sense. One thing I’m glad to see is you didn’t specifically target the president here. This is good because you are clearly listening to my replies to you.
It is comical however, that when not writing about him, your work becomes even more disconnected which also proves me right. This short read, seems to really use the term “opinion” to its fullest. I would argue that opposite sexes are indeed opposite. You would argue they are merely the same species with different attributes. I understand where you’re coming from, but it still is complete hogwash.
I would highly suggest seeking medical help for your condition. I understand losing ones mind to be horrible and it affects the older population sometimes. But there is help.
I really feel horrible for those students you taught (if you really ever taught anything). What kind of brainwashing did you try to conduct on them I wonder. Did you fail them when they didn’t agree that a Penis and a Vagina were opposites? Did you mark off points when they told you they didn’t agree with Karl Marx? For your own good, please stop writing before you ruin what little respect you have left in your family.
for someone who hates this writer you sure follow him a lot if I didn’t like what he wrote I would definitely stop reading it
in laymen terms if something bother me I would quit it
I firmly believe Charles is the same person as the writer. I believe this because you didn’t start commenting until the comments continued against the written pieces.
For your information, I respond to the writings to give people not only a dose of truth and reality, but to show that there are still sane people left in this area, that they’re not all addicts abusing drugs, or liberals feeding on the system, all while screaming how bad that system is.
John, AKA Charles, has a serious issue with writing pieces containing zero factual information. This is what is wrong with our society as a whole and with our education system. People stopped teaching the truth, and started teaching opinion. I have no issue with opinion, so long as it is honest, thoughtful, and educated. This writer checks none of the above mentioned boxes. He can’t even keep a single coherent thought together unless it’s “orange man bad”. It’s a sad testament to this area really that this passes for reading material.
I wish People like myself could write for the Lazer. But the issue is that people who want to be engaged, or are intellectual, or have some semblance of knowledge on a subject, and aren’t crazy have jobs, jobs they could put in jeopardy by speaking the truth because inevitably someone would have hurt feelings. In place of that, we are all seeking someone else to write and speak for us, yet we are stuck reading this sorry excuse for an opinion piece.
you would be better fitted for Fox or maybe Facebook
That actually explains a lot. First, you clearly are John Preston “Charles”. Second, your snipe about news agency or social media tells me you believe that this “news” agency should be reserved for liberals apparently with no pushback from any other points of view. This is directly in line with the Democrat parties standards. Only you are allowed to have opinions right? Other opinions need go elsewhere because if they don’t, everyone will see how ignorant, uneducated, and ridiculous the liberal opinion is.
Lazer: let me know when you desire real opinion, supported by fact and the majority of this region.
the facts would be the top priority not conspiracy theories
Please send your name, address and a short resume if you want to start writing for The Lazer.–Editor
Where in the world did this come from John Butch Preston? I’m confused. Is this your way of coming out?
Charles,
That’s correct. Facts and truth should lead the way. Which is exactly opposite of every single post posted by “John Preston” AKA Charles.
is Mexico going to still pay for the wall ?
Everyone who believes Mexico was going to write us a check was foolish. But I’m analyzing the decrease in illegal immigration, the increases in trade agreements, and the increases in Mexico stepping up security with man power. They indirectly have already. 70% decline in crossings. We stand to make a killing on the USMCA, etc.
Did you never read his book the Art of the Deal? Always start from a position you can walk back from. Something impossible to attain.
going to pay the debt off in 8 years
Lately, most posts by “Charles” are actually by KAG. If it sounds intelligent and has punctuation, it is truely Charles. If it looks like a third grader wrote it and has no punctuation, it’s KAG.
