Stop! You all are scaring me! My daughter is only 9 months old! I'm still enjoying the baby phase!
I have been assured by a very knowing acquaintance in London that a healthy young child, well nursed, is at a year old a most
delicious, nourishing and wholesome food, weather stewed, roasted, baked or broiled; and I make no doubt that it will
equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.
yeah me too... i hate how companys make their product look so classy and great and then it is a peaic of crap sortof like with the ipods people are constanly going upo to me and sayin that their ipod is better than my "plam pilot" first i tell them that it is a windows based device that has hundreds more functions and that the only thing there ipod can do is play music....and break.....and cost lots of money filling up with songs. they then come up with some stupid come back at wich point i say "shove it!".........

chris
being windows based aint such a great thing either
women? men? equals? I have to say no. Realistically looking at it women and men are built differently, both physically mentally emotionally.... I know that you would agree that emotionally men and women ARE VERY VERY DIFFERENT. some of the other stuff could be argued but lets move foward with my thoughts. (you know the circle things you learned in math, you know the one's that overlap,) well men are in the right one and women arre in the left one. Some men and women are almost equal(obvisiously women have bigger ta tas so the two aren't equally)to their conterparts and they would go in the middle. But the majority of men and women are different from each other.
Do you remember the court shooting in atl? the one where some guy shot up the court(killing a judge a cop and another)? He was alone in a room with a female cop. the female cop lost and he escaped. I heard somewhere that in the same situtaion women cops are 60% more likely to shoot someone because intimadation, fear,...
I'm not saying that women shouldn't do this job or that job but I truly do believe that women are more suited to certain jobs and men are suited to certain jobs. Men and women aren't equal, and no one is better than the other, We bring different things to the table. it would be like trying to compare ferrari and lamborgini, one's faster one corners better, but it's very very hard for one to beat the other consistently.
another thing. WHY can't you women make up your minds? red dress? black dress? white shoes? black shoes? Women's rights? having a door opened for you? ???????? you can't have it both ways, make up your minds.
2. youngens today.
here is the perfect example. this past's american idol.
America's Idol is illiterate, was a pregnant teen, dropped out of high school,...... This is america's idol. FOLKS come on, people would like to blame it on the young people today but I have to say it's more so the parents fault than the children(although many of these parents in question helped the Idol(whatever her name is) and many other dumb masses). You guys don't put these children in the right direction, you don't teach them life skills, you don't spend enough time with them, you don't educate them on simple stuff(the stuff that the government schools teach and don't teach). you pretty much leave government schools to educate your children on life skills.

I remember that when I was in 4rd grade, I wanted to go to an electronics class, but the problem is, there is no electronics class in 4th grade! My solution was to just get out the breadboard, set it on the table at home, and let it be the teacher. In the end, it worked out great. Now, I can design electronic circuits like a pro, because I am, essentially, a pro. I have done the same for Linux and PCs. And I have found that experience sure is the best teacher.

And I think that there are a helluva lot of men who aren't suited to the jobs they hold. In fact, I'd wager that any day of the week I could show you examples of more men who were utterly and catastrophically incompetent than women. At all levels of jobs from the police, to lawyers, to teachers, to corporate executives to politicians. There is absolutely no field at all that can be imagined, that there isn't some bonehead guy who hasn't screwed up royally and spectacularly.
I'm a guy, but I find it utterly insulting to my intelligence to say that just being a guy automatically makes me better at anything than some woman. I don't care what the job is, I know with absolute certainty that there is a woman who can do it better than I could. I'm not an athlete. An athletic woman could beat me at just about any physical contest. So why on earth should I have any opportunity that a woman would be denied simply because she is a woman. That is so completely stupid it defies imagination.
You bring up the court shooting in Atlanta. OK, a perp got away from a woman cop. But perps get away from male cops all the time. Your example doesn't prove a statistical point, it shows that you can have boneheaded women in a position of authority who can't do her job, just like a boneheaded man. Up until a couple of decades ago, all escapes from custody were only from male police and guards.
It would certainly be true that not all women are qualified for the jobs that some men are qualified for. But then again, not all men are qualified for those jobs either, including some who get them. Do you really believe a woman should be kept out of a job no matter how good she is at it or how hard she tries? Because that was the reality 30 years ago.
JMJSelect.. I agree with the first part of your post.. men and women can never be “equal”. I honestly believe that men are better at certain things and women are better at other things. There are exceptions, but exceptions can never be examples. I mean no disrespect to either gender. Its just how us humans evolved.

Even if you except that as 100% true... It's still no excuse for selling them 'cheap pink s***' (stuff) that promises to make them happy if they behave just like everyone else is supposed to. It's noast just girls toys. If you buy This it will make you happy. If you buy that it will make you better as a person.
These companies don't care about developing children, or making our lives better. They just want us to buy stuff. And as long as we keep being good little consumers they are happy.
Ok OklahomaMama you had your rant, and there was mine

thank you for understanding precisely what was ticking me off :approve:
In all fairness, I also noticed a lot of gory, violent toys geared toward little boys... it's like the toy industry keeps perpetuating this gender stereotype.
*sigh*
I guess it'll never change
Well said, Frankenbike! :approve: Rumor and anecdotes provide rather poor bases for judgments when compared to critical-thinking and data that are collected in methodologically sound ways.
Differences tend to stand out over similarities. We tend to notice them more and give them more weight in making judgments. Similarities may outnumber differences by quite a large margin, but our perceptions may lead us to believe otherwise.
Also, what do we mean by "equal?" Do we mean the same in every way? If so, that is clearly incorrect because there are demonstrable sex differences beyond the obvious anatomical ones. Too often equality is used as a way of suggesting that one is better than the other or somehow more worthy. I don't buy that.

I suppose I should clarify my "equality" rant...
for too long women were (and in some places still are) treated as inferior to men. I completely realize that there are differences between the sexes and vive la difference! that's what makes the whole yin/yang thing work, right? ;)
I like the Spongebob episode where Spongebob is teaching Patrick how to open a jar of pickles. When Patrick finally gets it open, he wails "I broke it!"
Oops! Am I off topic?

did you read my whole post? or did you stop at the "men and women aren't equal"?
it'll explain my feelings on the subject if you read the whole post.
as to the atl shootings. what if a man cop was guarding the perp? as reports said she didn't even put up a fight(it was that bad) and do you remember "world's scariest police chases" the one where the guy easily knocked out the women cop?
I bet that if you looked at stastistics it would show more escapes from women than men. more shootings than men. more injuries/deaths than men......
Look if you're a female cop and a guy 2ce your weight over takes you your in serious trouble. now think if it was a male cop, would the bad guy have even tried?
and what about bouncers? are women really suited for the job? any women should be able to do that right.
oh and I do agree with u on the Imcompotent male issue. There is alot of men out there who shouldn't be doing what they're doing. women too.
