So that allows you to ignore your responsibility in our exchanges? And so what you are saying is that I am the only one that has given you "A-Dog-Number-One-Crap" from me to you??? And so you don't think that I have not also judged people how they treat me, based solely on disagreements in political or current event issues?

I'm very honest. I KNOW I'm a hothead. Also, I'm not dishonest (read: phony) and expect all will be forgiven if I just brush some nicey nicey juice over all the right people, or paint the floors a lovely shade of chartreuse. I never shirked responsibility. I react how I react. But merc, if it makes you feel better, I'm sorry that you got so offended that you think I wasn't being responsible.

n-b-x-s, I wouldn't moderate your ass out of a paper bag. Have you been nominated yet? Go back to happy land. This whole thing started a long time ago because the faint-hearted liked to faint instead of using the ignore button. "Quit giving so much attention to those who argue because it's making me sad as I give so much attention to those who argue by whining about the arguing instead of ignoring it." Yeah, that makes sense.

I'm no wolf. I'm no mod. Nom-nom-nominating me falls under joke noms. I respectfully decline the nom.

And with that: I feel better for having this honest discussion. THanks, even though uncomfortable for some probably, sweeping under carpets just makes my carpets lumpy and insanical.

crassic: ow, my feelings. I'm so offended. Seriously, sticks and stones. And you really actually have to give a fuck about what someone thinks for them to be able to hurt you. Big Vajajay, you are a prime example of the fake sincerety gushers that have overwhelmed this board, no wonder you can't see the problem. Dana, you cunt. Shawnee, you slapper. Merc, you jerk. did I miss anyone? I nominate Pico.

Maybe this explains a lot about our differences...

I dont get why everyone is finding that so funny. It's just more of the same bullshit about males and females, based on the usual stereotypes and pseudo scientific understandings of gender. Most of what he says about men can equally apply to me and other women I know, and what he says about women can equally apply to many blokes I know.
I am perfectly happy doing nothing. I am quite happy seeing a guy do nothing. I can go off for fucking hours and not be able to tell you what thoughts have been in my mind. The more work is done on how the brain develops and functions, the more we see that elasticity is the key factor. Though there are differences between 'male' and 'female' brains, few of them are innate (born into) many are produced by the way our brains develop according to our upbringing. More and more, neuroscientists are able to show that there are often greater distinctions between individual brains regardless of gender than there are between the sexes. On top of that we have begun to understand that it is not as simple as man=male brain and woman=female brain: but rather that we all exist somewhere on a scale with 'male' and 'female' traits in both. From an article about recent work on the subject: Quote:

Hmmmm.... I guess we just have different experiences in life. Because I find it to be pretty accurate. Guys keep things separate. Women do not. IMHO. I have heard it over and over all my life. My wife was in a predominately male dominated job the first 10 years we were married, I am in a predominately female dominated job and specialize in womens health. I find it to be pretty accurate and so did my wife. Men and women deal with conflict very differently. Men compartmentalize emotions more often. But as I said from the outset, we may have just had different life experiences. It does not make either one of us wrong.

Sorry. I just get pissed off by some of the scienctific studies that get trotted out around this stuff, that basically try to suggest these differences are all innate. They're not. They're a product of environment. Which means that they are not universal. It strikes me also, that if you are in a predominately female profession, then it is a profession that will naturally lend itself to a particular skill set which we nost normally class as feminine: consequently more traditionally feminine women are likely to be in that area of work. By the same token, if an occupation is predominately male, then it is likely to make use of, and therefore attract a traditionally masculine skillset and therefore will be full of traditionally masculine men. Steroetypes often do apply, that's how they become stereotypes. But they are exaggerated to the point where they become a lie. Large numbers of women and large numbers of men would find themselves somewhat excluded from those jokes if they were told to a truly representative segment of gender character types. I just get a little pissed off. I get this shit fed back to me by people who genuinely believe that women are less capable of reason than men, because they are more emotional creatures.
