Ben Franklin was the nation's first DJ

[backbreaker]

yep. right there in black in white. you'd be suprised what you would learn if you picked up a book from time to time and learned to read between the lines.


Like many here, Mr. Franklin was born with a ****load of disadvantages. the youngest of 15, broke and overweight. the only thing he was born with (like many here) is he was smarter than the avg person.

He meets a woman he falls for, and then decides to up and leave and go to europe to screw any and everything that could walk (his words). When he comes home (if this isn't DJ i dont' know what is) and lives with a woman for damn near half a freaking century and never marries her lol. you know what he said about marriage?

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards

He was no fool when it came to women.

I went to school and i like you probably learned about ben franklin as the guy that did some **** with the lighting rod or is that the wrong guy lol? you learned that he was thomas dogood and that he had a printing press. you even learned that he wrote poor richards alamanic. But if you ever actually picked it UP and read it, man there are some gems in there that would fit right in the DJ Bible

All thesea re quotes from Poor Richards Almanac

In success be moderate.

A man should strive to have no problem with the opposite sex. he should not strive to **** every living creature that has a blowhole or he will become consumed by it.

Look before, or you’ll find yourself behind.

pay attention to these woman you are looking at or you will wind up in oneitis, paying allomny for years and years with kids, or worse.

By diligence and patience, the mouse bit in two the cable.

Everything will come in due time if you just keep trying and be patient. Stop loooking for the easy route. put some work into you. Become the better person and you will eventually get where you want to be with the opposite sex

He that goes far to marry, will either deceive or be deceived.

This is basically talking about the women we chase. If you do not date a woman on your terms, the relationship will not work. The tiem you are spending coming up with new ideas to woo her, is time you are missing figuring out who she really is, and even if you get here, she probalbly isn' the same person you had pictured. but you would not know becuase you never paid attention

Good wives and good plantations are made by good husbands.

aside fromt he slavery analogy, men are supposed to lead. not follow.

A woman will be a good wife if you are a good husband. By good I mean fulfilling your rolls in the relationship. if you are whinging crying ***** your wife/gf will act accordingly.

Three things are men most liable to be cheated in, a Horse, a Wig, and a Wife.

Ben Franklin knew that most women aren't cracked up to be what most think they are. go into all relaionships with your eyes WIDE open

Marry your Son when you will, but your Daughter when you can.

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING.. WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. Ben Franklin got it before it was there to be got.

WE spend pages talking about the whole women decline in age and men mature in age, and ben summed it up in one sentence.

men do not rush to get married. do not rush to get married. do not rush to get married. the more you wait the more the getting is good.

You cannot pluck roses without fear of thorns,
Nor enjoy a fair wife without danger of horns.

you are not the only one that realizes you have a piece on your arm. Any beautiful woman guys are going to try to ****, rather you are there or not.



He talks about marriage as well and while I agree with him I won't post it here for the ****storm it would cause.

 

[Amazing]

Marry your Son when you will, but your Daughter when you can.

awesome.


why do you think bride's parents give things to the guy who will be marrying the chick, to make the deal fair.

Ben Franklin was the Pimp of his day allright.

Check out this essay (not really an essay, more a letter to a friend):

....

But if you will not take this Counsel, and persist in thinking that Commerce with the Sex is inevitable, then I repeat my former Advice that in your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. This you call a Paradox, and demand my reasons. They are these:

1. Because they have more Knowledge of the world, and their Minds are better stored with Observations; their conversation is more improving, and more lastingly agreeable.

2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Man, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a thousand Services, small and great, and are the most tender and useful of Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an Old Woman who is not a good Woman.

3. Because there is no hazard of children, which irregularly produced may be attended with much inconvenience.

4. Because through more Experience they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your reputation; and regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be inclined to excuse an old Woman, who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his manners by her good Councils, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.

5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part. The Face first grows lank and Wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower parts continuing to the last as plump as ever; so that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old one from a young one. And as in the Dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of Corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal and frequently superior; every Knack being by Practice capable by improvement.

6. Because the sin is less. The Debauching of a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her Life unhappy.

7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend making an old Woman happy.

8. 8th & lastly. They are so grateful!!!

Thus much for my Paradox. But still I advise you to marry immediately; being sincerely

Your Affectionate Friend,

Benj. Franklin

Franklin was certainly an amazing polymath - the first media mogul, dispensing philosophical wisdom and titillating gossip, a true scientist whose discovery was on the path to unlocking the mystery of electricity, and then a statesmen to carefully guide the revolutionaries, a diplomatic genius to get the French to assist in the war, and then at the end of his life, a wise elder to get a good solid Constitution drafted. He was easily the American of the 18th Century.

Of course, it is because he is held in such high esteem that biographers tend to be hush-hush about his private activities. He was a cougar chaser in his youth, and then hit up the debutantes in Paris in his later years.

Most of us have heard the saying "A jack of all trades is a master of none."

And the vast majority of the time, this is true.

With the noteable exception of Ben Franklin. He was a prolific author, statesman, inventor, scientist, philosopher, businessman, seducer of women, and I'm sure there was more. He not only had his hand in everything, but he was also a leader of everything in which he was involved.

And of course, he was a Master Mason, like me.

 

[Jitterbug]

BB, I like your threads, but please learn how to write like your hero Ben Franklin. Your spelling and grammar is atrocious.

 

[backbreaker]

As I stated, I don't come here and take myself all that seriously. I'm not a DJ intellectual lol. I t ype right at 95 wpm and I don't bother to spell check, nor do I really sit down and give a **** about my grammar. I'm not at work and there is no one here to impress. You get the message. If you have that big an issue you are more than welcome to not read what I type.

Master mason???? Anyone can be a master mason these days. Back years ago one had to demonstrate enlightment (manly p hall) nowdays just donate $$$$ to freemasonry.

How are you at all qualified to talk about freemasonry? If you were a Mason, you would know better, and you wouldn't shoot your mouth off. We perform the same rituals that were being performed in the day of King Solomon, and enlightenment is still the goal of freemasonry, as it has been since our dawn. *I have disclosed nothing you couldn't see on the History Channel.*

In addition to being a Mason, I am also proud to be a Shriner, the charitable, "relaxed" wing of the Masons. It is my profound honor and joy to contribute to this charitable fraternity, our network of free children's hospitals have an operating budget of $910,000,000 for fiscal year 2010 because of the efforts of my fellow Shriners and the contributions of esteemed citizens.

What are YOU doing?

No, you're just a loser with no esteem in your community, in all likelihood you live in abject mediocrity and oblivion. Your name is "I'm wanting" but you can't play in the man's game, so you stand on the sidelines and criticize the winners.

 

[Tiguere]

Freemasonry is heavily compartmentalized. You will never know what the above degrees are up to. You are in the lower 97% . The top 3% is something you will never reach.

My friend who is a Mason laughed when I told him some dude posted this on a forum. His quote is "a lot of dudes will join then feel special, making the whole thing look stupid"


And yeah I've been in your halls. It looks like you are doing mostly good things - charity, helping others. Who can tell me what else is going on, otherwise it looks like another charity group

I threw a quarter in the bucket of the salvation army guy and then posted on a msg board that i'm an esteemed citizen part of a great organization and claimed all their accomplishments as my own like a 3rd string player on a super bowl team.
