Gotcha. Yea, I think you're right about that.

**Tim the toolman Taylor voice**

AR AR AR AR!!

I started with the thought of "Comfortably Numb"

Then I remembered "Wish You Were Here" (although it's played out)

And after reading everyone's posts I realized they are ALL so damn good!

Don't let this convince you that I don't agree with your post...I agree with your points of equality and individuality regardless of sex (gender is actually a social construct but let's not go there) Everyone will do what they do without restraints imposed on them by their gender.

However, the excerpt I quoted above seems a bit misplaced. To compare helping a fallen female comrade on the front line with intervening on a person's private life seems a tad off kilter. Again, I still agree with your main point though. And of course I do NOT condone spousal abuse or thug activities in any way.

When do you guys usually have games? And where?

Hahahahaha. Touche.

Debbie was there a response to my text that you quoted? All I saw was the quote.

Edit: Ok I see it now. You're right that it's not a steadfast rule. Those are just general observations of the average over a large number of men and women.

In specific scenarios there will be guys who are crybabies and women who can undergo all the torture in the world but still not break. But on average women kick a$$ at multitasking stress, and men kick a$$ at handling a huge amount of it before breaking.

Just generally though!

bad_girl - Please don't take this as an anti-women argument. It's not. If you ask me, most women have a stronger will than most men. Scientifically, though, the anatomical differences are proven. They can be overcome, and many women work hard and get themselves on an equal (or greater) level of strength with men. You are apparently one of those women, and that's awesome. But it still stands that women start from a physical disadvantage on average.

This is a fallacious argument though. To use outliers as examples of a rule is false. Generally speaking, the average male is stronger and better built for strength related activities than the average female.

The argument would be like saying that 5 year olds are better at reading than 25 year olds, simply because there was one child prodigy who demonstrated this.

**I still maintain my original answer for the overall question: Women should be allowed to fight, since they are able to be as effective as men (although only those that work at it...same as with men), moreso than some weak guys I know haha**

This is both true and false. Women will remain logical through higher levels of stress than men, who tend to react with a testosterone fueled angry response. However, women are likely to have an emotional breakdown at a lower level than men, ultimately.

SO basically while men can handle stree longer until their breaking point, women handle their stress better up until their breaking point.

Still not sure how states in the middle of the country can be armpits...are we viewing E-W as the vertical axis? Lol.

Moron is certainly not the term I would use, but I gotta say that claiming baseball is an easy sport isn't a very strong argument.

Isn't that exactly what he's saying?

Watch it!

(haha, seriously though I was amazed that Jersey didn't come up when the armpit joke got brought up...it's usually Jersey that gets called the armpit of the nation)

You can't prove a subjective notion like "which sport is the best" because that relies on opinion.

However, you can prove that it's hard...by looking at the required skills, or more particularly by trying it yourself.

Didn't read all the posts prior... but I've gotta say I know some pretty pansy guys and some pretty badass girls. If they wanna fight, more power to them I think they'll do just fine and I'll respect them the same as any other soldier.

Lilith - Don't ever give up! You've gotta have gumption. I know, I'm from Jersey.

Heh heh...smooth.

Fair enough. Although "one year" usually means 7 games for him.

He had a good season with TO, but that was back before he became a true pocket quarterback. His running days are over, IMO, and he doesn't seem able to adjust to a pocket game (i.e. waiting in the pocket while the routes develop...like Brady does). Instead, he always seems to see an open guy and just throw the ball immediately as hard as he can (usually into their feet).
