Can you imagine me getting involved?...It's all way above me but what I do wonder is how on earth the innocent people are coping living day in and day out like they are..It must be terrifying and I feel for them

Oh lordy, here goes...................

Far from it. There is a long history of female warriors, terrorists, murderers, psychopaths and even despots (by way of marriage I will admit, although I will include Thatch under that heading).
Children of single parent males are more likely to succeed than those of single parent females in my experience. I know of several such family units and without exception the male led units do better. Just my experience.

If a female can achieve the necessary levels of aptitude and follow orders instinctively why shouldn't they. They should not be there just to meet quotas though. It will not doom mankind. I'm not a sexist by the way (just a bit blunt).

Should I get my coat?

 

No Longk - it's your coat and you are entitled to wear it,
just as I am free to wear mine,

When I was a younger man about town, it was extremely common to see a fight break out in a club or pub on a friday or saturday night. It is my experience that fights between women were more common than fights between young men, the fights involving women were often more vicious (literally no rules, whereas blokes would at least usually not try to pull hair out or scratch eyes out), and where it was an all male fight, more often than not, there were female 'supporters' of the combatants while males would be trying to break it up.

This is not just my experience. When I was a regular about town, I got pally with several of the bouncers, who would often whinge about the same thing. I knew big giants of men that actually dreaded the daily fight between two or more young women. As one bouncer told me, its easy when lads fight, you just prise them apart, hold them til they calm down, then throw them out and watch them for a minute. Women on the other hand, before you can prise them apart you have to untangle them first so that as you seperate them, they don't take pieces of each other with them. Vicious things them womenfolk.

 

So very true! And woe betide you if you tried to break up a "bitch fight" - they forgot their fight and both turned on you!
Why Bitch fight? Because the first the pub/club knew of it was a scream of "you (insert crude swear word) bitch" before all hell let loose.

Talking of supporters, I got in a fight once (not mine, but a mates) and when it all died out I was sat on the pavement and my girlfriend of the time bent down and asked me if I was ok. Being full of ale I said "of course I am", at which point she stood up, stamped on my goolies, said "lets hope that hurts then" and huffed off! Some support!

 

Yes, we have. Just say it. I may agree or disagree, but I won't be offended.

 

I had a bit of an epiphany fairly recently. I realised that no matter what you say, there are people that will take offence. If you decide to stay quiet, there are people that will take offence. So I realised that while we should of course all try to be a bit considerate of how what we say (or don't say) will make others feel, and try to frame it as best we can, at the end of the day, best just say it if you want, or keep quiet if you want, but don't worry too much about how people will take it, because if you true to yourself and considerate of others, then the only people that should take offence are the ones that are waiting to take offence anyway, so not your fault

Yes.

 

I totally agree @clueless1 .
The absolute fact of it is that whilst freedom of speech allows us to say what we think/believe, it also contracts us to listen to the points of view of others. Kinda why I broke my pledge not to comment any more on this thread.

 

Woo...you have just written my post for me...my thoughts exactly...I rarely watch the box but did so on this occasion and now all sorts is buzzing through my head..it saddens me to see/hear people chanting in the streets that children are dead (after the school bombing) and actually look pleased about it...what is this world coming to....I'm very ignorant to all this but ignorance is bliss from where I'm sitting...
