Women may be catty and bitchy, but they seldom wreak the physical havoc men do.
They don't run out and build bombs capable of destryoing the earth 1000 times
over the way men do in their civilized version of "my thingy is bigger than 
yours", "I'm the dominant buck, and I get to run the herd".
----------------------------------------
Why, you're right.....since women have never been in power, they haven't
had the opportunity to create these silly, scary weapons.  Can YOU guarantee
that if a women gets in power SHE wouldn't press the button?? I didn't
think so!!! So therefore, since we have a known now (men haven't blown
up the planet yet) it may be better than the unknown (a women with her
"emotion controlled" finger on the button).  Living proof, due to sunny,
that women should NOT be allowed in a position of power.  And I always 
thought she was a feminist.

And to think that the whole idea of world war III can be reduced to penis
envy?  My, god!! It's so simple and clear to me now...thank you sunny for
giving me this insight...Being logical, I never would have figured it
out for myself!  It must take a women's intuition to have such impact!

Why, she's right again!! Just yesterday I saw two lions sitting down over
supper discussing Hagle's Dialectic....what amazed me was that these wild
beasts were so interested in the ideas of their potential mate, and
were just as concerned as we are in the compatability of each other.
Amazing, sunny, how you must have witnessed this too to make such a
silly statement.

And once again sunny proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that men are
awful.  Please see my first statement above.

What's this??? Sunny putting in qualifiers about only some men??  She must
not be feeling well...

> Only by merging the roles more, can we achieve the necessary balance.
And attitudes such as yours which has "proven" the entire male race to
be responsible for all of our problems is really gonna help, huh?
What made you hate those of the male gender so?? What allows you to generalize
so?
  
I hope you feel better soon.....
