]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> Hmm... well, the guy goes on a trip with "kids" (ie. multiple kidlets) who are apparently not only old enough to travel but old enough to be left alone in a motel room in the middle of the night while Daddy is out wanking the ipHOne.

Meanwile, the wife is at home caring for a baby. And apparently she's asked him before to have a vasectomy but he didn't think it was a good idea if he was only doing it for something as mundane as birth control. After all, who cares how many more kidlets one fathers, it's only the flashy new gizmos that register with Daddy (the living, breathing ones can just be left to their own devices in some motel room somewhere while Daddy's out chasing hot goodies). What difference is there between him and that guy who was gambling till three in the morning while his kid was wandering through the casino and getting killed? Only that this guy's kids didn't get loose.

Nobody in this discussion seems to have caught on to that aspect of the story. I guess it just takes a postmenopausal Mom to notice stuff like that.

(As for the rest--poor imperius, pulled his pud just once too often.)

I just think that the hubby in this story missed an opportunity - he should've been able to negotiate an iPhone, surround sound system, large flat-screen HDTV, and if the money was available, a new Porsche!

Sorta gives new meaning to the phrase, "low-ball."

@DestroyerMTL: You are too right...if it was a woman that had surgery done so she could get an iPhone, everyone would be screaming about her controlling husband!

And TY Jesus for thwarting the rant-fest...

richard8a

]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> This is only one more prove about how evil women are.
Firstly Obviously the money factor wasn't a problem since she knew getting a vasectomy plus the better version of the phone with 8g. would be allot more expensive than just the 4gb one. So starting from there thers a selfish behavior involved.

If you got the money and you know the poor individual drools at any iPhone ad, and it also happens to be the father of your children you shouldn't ask for his balls in order to buy him the phone.

Second of all, how can a woman be turned on by a guy that Rather's get his balls sterile for good in order to get a phone that's temporally the best.

So whats gonna happen is, she is planning on leaving the husband, but she needs to be sure he still takes care of the kids, and she also needs to make sure he wont have any kids with other women so he can still fully pay for child support without having to pay for other children that are not hers.

women care more about security than technology and she is probably on top of the milk man while her husband is playing wow on his new portatile device.

]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> First, I want to say I have been snipped for about 10 years. After watching my wife go through natural labor twice, I felt like I could take one for the team.
Second, after going on a road trip with my kids, I would probably volunteer for a snip job anyway, and if I could weasel an iphone (or anything else of value to me) out of it, I sure as hell would have.

And xtremecamera is stuck with male menopause due to a quacktastic doc. Sorry, xtremecamera, but as a female who has menopause to look forward to, I have a hard time feeling for ya. I actually wish all men had to go through what you have. Things would feel a bit more even then. Let's start with Imperious.

All of this from the iPhone? The mind boggles from the Freudian connections herein.

What I said:

"My views and opinions are not of ALL women. I do not claim that women or that a high percentile are as described"

Read much? LOL.

I am by no means saying most women are like this. What I am saying is that there are some women as described in my post, in this world. I could easily state that a woman didn't exactly read before she spoke, in this example. But meh, its fine.

To quote an article I read about womens logic. Anything that bleeds for 7 days and doesn't die, shouldn't complain about mens logic.

Imperius

]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> I disagree with a post some above, what is the point for depending on some fluids to be more or less of a man. I am pro-vasectomy, it will give you freedom and believe me, you will not even notice your little runners have less luggage on the back, that is the only difference, and the funny part, you will even be rewarded if you are lucky enough and have a comprehensive wife like this dud has. Go Vasectomy !!!

amgra

]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> I cant even begin to respond to the load of crap that Imperious dumped on us, but this guys is NOT living in reality. Not one of the misinformed, ignorant remarks he makes reflects the truth about most women, but I can see why the few desperate nutcase bitches might go for him. No reasonable, intelligent woman would listen to his brand of "logic" for very long. As for "doing a Bobbit" on Mr Johnson, from the story, its aparent that Mr Johnson had ALREADY decided with Mrs Johnson to have a vasectomy, but was procrastinating making the call to schedule it. Medical FACT: Vasectomies are cheaper, easier, less invasive and with a much quicker recovery time than a tubal ligation and CERTAINLY better than an unplanned pregnancy. If you are in a PARTNERSHIP type of relationship, you should look at what is best for BOTH parties. Kudos to the real MEN out there, but Imperious isnt one of them.

Now, if the iPhone had 3G, Flash, and Java support, and a better carrier like Sprint or Verizon (preferably Sprint, since their data service for smartphones is much cheaper and less-restrictive than Verizon), I'd be happy to get the snip-snip for one. (Besides, children are overrated... and get the hell off my yard!!)

Imperius...LOL you got dumped for a biker didnt ya? DIDNT YA!

twylight

]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> I want to be very clear on this. I don't want children in my lifetime. But I would NEVER get a vasectomy. It is not only because of health reasons but also pride. I would not let a stupid woman f**k with me down there. Lorena bobbit should have had a clitectomy and been burned alive. Any woman who does this to her husband for a "toy" should be shot. Now, i'm not saying this guy isn't an irresponsible jackass of a financial nightmare husband, cuz he is.

He is pussy whipped. Now ladies, listen up. All your little feminist groups are cute and all, but in this world, the Man has the last say.

Now, I am ALL for mutual understanding, mutual trust, and mutual decision making regarding marriage. A marriage is based on communication and love, but when women step over the line, its time to slap them upside their heads. I do not hate women, I hate bitches and those whom seek to dominate their man or have the "upper hand", no pun intended.

I am anti-feminist and just as proof that feminism is wrong, remember in the 1950's when women knew their place? When they kept their mouth shut, and only opened it to use it for pleasure? Well, back then there were no clashes of the sexes. Only until women got all bitchy, did problems happen. I am ALL for equal rights, but women need to know their place, just as Men need to know theirs and not abuse it.

Women can be strong, and independent, and work next to or above men on the financial or job ladder so to speak (ie: be a man's boss) and thats all fine and good, but the moment you play the man card (ie: men start wars, men are idiots, all men are jerks..ect..) then you frankly should shut it.

Here's the mystery of women revealed, so listen up guys. "What do women want". The answer is simple, there is no proper answer. Each woman is different, each womans wants are different. Now you think guys are the only ones who are superficial? Women for ages have been wanting the perfect man, and the perfect marriage. To be "deflowered" on a bed of roses with cherubs singing. They want their life to be that of a romantic novel, which by the way has polluted women's minds for decades. Sorry ladies, no perfect life for you, it doesn't exist. I suggest you watch the movie "hitch". Good example of what bitches SOME women can be.

My views and opinions are not of ALL women. I do not claim that all women or that a high percentile are as described. I am only speaking the truth, and fact, mixed with my views. I am not a homosexual (Thank God) nor am I a woman hater. Please note: I am well aware the possible first flame of me will be "boy, he's going to be alone for a long time." LOL. Nah, I've had nothing but good relationships.

]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> Vasectomies are great because they prepare you against the "oops" women, and give you the gift of no children. All I have to do is masturbate in a cup beforehand and my biological imperative is complete, eventually. But if many of you wish to hold on to it (even after having children) for some absurd, and incorrect, notion of masculinity, enjoy your accident children, I'm sure they will.

Hell if anything, the fact that he got the iPhone was more emasculating

qbrad

]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> the vasectomy was actually the best decision I ever made so far in my life. This was at 23 and I am pushing 40 now, so far no problems. But, on the other hand, at least one girlfriend was so hormone-crazed and/or out of this world at the end of the relationship, that she would have tried everything to get pregnant.

So, the only remorse I have now is: should have exchanged the vasectomy for an iPhone. But, I was 16 years ahead of my time...

]]> <![CDATA[Man Goes Through Vasectomy to Get iPhone]]> A word of warning my friends... I did the vasectomy thing in 1987, not quite year after my youngest daughter was born... fastforward a few years and my doctor is concerned that for some reason my body stopped producing the male hormone Testosterone ... hmm, must be a tumor in the brain.. nope, that's not it. Why would a 30-something man in good health stop producing this oh so important man-stuff?

Turns out the so-called doctor who did the snipping in 1987 snipped badly... the result being shots every couple of weeks for the rest of my life.

Worth an iPhone? In a word... No.
