There is an Obvious Fucking Question here

[Red Nick]

If Real Madrid had held on to 30 August would the owners have sold Xabi from underneath Rafa?

[AmerScouse]

they didn't so why does it matter? quit stirring shit.

 

next you are going to ask if the owners are going to buy someone without rafa knowing

[Guest LFD]

they didn't so why does it matter? quit stirring shit.

 

Agreed.

 

Shit topic.

[Dante]

I often ask myself, if there is nothing outside of the Universe, what is it expanding into?

[Funkasy]

i ask myself why men have nipples because its for no purpose.

[Captain]

It's because your gender is decided later.

[RedinSweden]

It's because your gender is decided later.

 

Speak for yourself mate. God concentrated on my cock first.

[Cath]

Speak for yourself mate. God concentrated on my cock first.

 

You absolutely sure that was God? Did you ask for ID?

[Jose Jones]

It's because your gender is decided later.

 

Your gender is decided at the moment of fertilization.

It’s more that nipples are gender neutral I think – everyone has them. They aren’t a sex organ!

As women mature they obviously grow nice big mammary glands, and produce milk when they are with child.

It’s the female hormones through adolescence and pregnancy that cause the common or garden nipple to turn into a nice booby nipple.

If a teenage boy were administered similar hormones they could also grow their very own milky boobs. Maybe.

[Thants]

How many feathers has a purdue chicken?

[Jose Jones]

I wish my cousin Nag was here he knows these things.

[Anubis]

If a Merseyrail train leaves Southport at 09.34hrs travelling at 25mph, and a second train leaves New Brighton at 10.00hrs travelling at 10mph, which will reach Moorfields station first?

 

For the purpose of this question Hightown, Formby and Sandhills stations are all closed (just like normal).

 

Marks : 25

[hamstrung]

Nick, judging by your posts in the last few weeks, you really need to regulate your alcohol intake.

 

You're not a young man any more.

[JohnnyH]

If......

 

 

Oh yeah!

[WhiskeyJar]

Hitler had one testicle, does that make him half man or half woman??

[JohnnyH]

This is actually a fair enough question (certainly no stranger then plenty of other questions on here). It's just the fact Nick has asked it, a few people are pouncing.

 

The owners are in serious shite, and there are rumours abound that Rafa will have to break even on sales/purchases this year, so, it may very well be that the yanks would have pushed through the sale regardless. I think we could be in for another season of infighting that we have the pleasure off seen played out in the press.

[Antynwa]

I doubt it. I really doubt it, but this is LFC we are talking about so anything could happen.

[Monkeywool]

I wish my cousin Nag was here he knows these things.

 

It's ok, wikipedia to the rescue.

The phenomenon of male lactation in humans has become more common in recent years due to the use of medications that stimulate(often by inhibiting dopamine) a man's mammary glands. The increasing presence of xenoestrogens may also play a role, interfering with the hormonal system of males. Though boys and men have nipples, many are unaware that they also have mammary glands. In ordinary circumstances, there is so little mammary tissue that it is unnoticeable; if the male breasts develop visibly, the condition is called gynecomastia. Though the mammary glands of human males cannot produce milk automatically under natural conditions, with appropriate hormonal stimulus—mimicking that which human females produce naturally when they become pregnant and give birth—they can.[1] Newborn baby boys (and girls) can occasionally produce milk because of the intense hormones involved in their mother's pregnancy and the hours of childbirth; this is called witch's milk. Male Lactation can also come about via the use of physical Stimulus, like that as used in the process of Induced lactation, That is, if the male breast is suckled, or pumped enough Lactation will occur as a result.

 

Male lactation was of some interest to Charles Darwin, who commented on it in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871). Darwin noted that "It is well known that in the males of all mammals, including man, rudimentary mammae exist. These in several instances have become well developed, and have yielded a copious supply of milk. Their essential identity in the two sexes is likewise shewn by their occasional sympathetic enlargement in both during an attack of the measles."[2] He later considered the nearly perfect function of male nipples in contrast to greatly reduced structures such as the vesicula prostatica, speculating that both sexes may have nursed young in early mammalian ancestors, and subsequently mammals evolved to inactivate them in males at an early age.[3]

 

The phenomenon of male lactation occurs in some other species, notably the Dayak fruit bat (Dyacopterus spadiceus), and the lactating males may assist in the nursing of their infants. In addition, male goats are known to lactate on occasion.[4]

 

[edit] In humans

 

Male lactation is a side effect that may be caused by hormonal treatments given to men suffering from prostate cancer, or drugs that block dopamine receptors. Female hormones are used to slow the production of cancerous prostate tissue, but the same hormones also stimulate the mammary glands. Male-to-female transsexuals may also produce milk owing to the hormones they take to reshape their bodies. It can be a side effect of antipsychotic medication. Extreme stress combined with demanding physical activity and a shortage of food has also been known to cause male lactation. The phenomenon occurred in survivors of the liberated Nazi concentration camps after World War II.[1] Some American POWs returning from the Korean and Vietnam Wars also experienced male lactation. The phenomenon has also been observed in isolated cases in other parts of the world.[5]

 

In Why Is Sex Fun?, Jared Diamond reports of male and female cancer patients being treated with estrogen who proceeded to lactate when injected with prolactin, and suggests that mechanical stimulation of male breasts, by releasing prolactin, could result in lactation.[6]

 

Cases have been reported of men breast-feeding babies.[1]

 

[edit] Treatment

 

If desired, discontinuing the offending drug will stop male lactation. If it doesn't resolve, a combination of a dopamine agonist such as cabergoline or bromocriptine in combination with a SERM such as tamoxifen(often combined with an aromatase inhibitor), in difficult cases dihydrotestosterone may be necessary, applied locally. Treatment will stop progress but resolution takes months to years. Surgery is available in resistant cases but relapse can occur if not controlled. [7]

Thanks I still find it hard to believe how many people arent aware of the implications of what is going on at the club and this could be just the start of something much worse in the future.

 

I am very concerened indeed and the majority of fans dont seem to be.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Speak for yourself mate. God concentrated on my cock first.

 

From what I have heard, he didn't concentrate that much did he Jim?

We are concerned, we just don't harp on about it at every single opportunity.

 

Put bluntly, we are a week away from the start of the new season and we should be getting behind the lads to push on this season and win the whole thing after the disappointment last year of getting so close, not speculating on hypothetical shit to do with the owners as they already had enough air time over the past few years.

 

They didn't sell Xabi on the 30/31st August under Rafa's nose, end of story. Of course they would have, we all know this - so why ask the question and stir shit? Stop worrying about inconsequential things and ifs and buts and concentrate on supporting the team for once.

Thats a very interesting point of view not one I agree with. they are hardly inconsequential things they are going to have a major impact on the club and the reatlity is whilst fans take your approach the owners willl continue to bleed this club dry and next close season when its too late maybe the fans who just want to get behind the team will realsise action is needed but by then it will be too late.

 

As I said its your opinon not one I agree with.

[Barnesey]

Thread summary; we are suspicious of owners.

 

Enough said, move on

[Anny Road]

Quite frankly I am offended.
