I also want a severely limited government.

Ok Pinkie.

Do I have to get a sex change operation now, because I also support the right to choose?

Sadly, I don't. I can only support it if the woman is in danger. I can't bring myself to support more, sorry. As for legislation, I have thought about it plenty over the years and the more I think of it the more I'm convinced that is a bad idea so I don't really care to fight for such a thing, but I can't support the act either, sorry.

S'rly, Henrin: you should eavesdrop on a Republican Ladies' Luncheon and then tell me, all American women have some defect in their voting that all American men do not share.[/COLOR]

Well I never said men don't share the same views because its pretty clear many of them do. I was just talking about in general how I think women approach politics and why I don't really agree with it is all. Many men approach it a similar way and perhaps exactly the same way but the angle they go about finding that view is drastically different. Perhaps you're different Pinkie or perhaps I'm just wrong about my observations, who knows. Still, I'm not inclined to say such a thing outright. I have done a great deal of reading posts of women on this forum and talking to women IRL about politics and I don't feel great about where they are coming from to form their arguments and I don't like what it usually means to their overall argument.

As for republican women, I don't know what to say about them.

There are no reliable generalizations that can be made about American women voters, Henrin, anymore than there are about American male voters. Nobody votes with their gonads, not even us "overemotional" girlie types.
 
Don't ask questions you don't really want the answer to. That lesson's a freebee.

Tigger, this is either a massive joke or a severe mental illness.

Have you ever told this blather to a doctor?
 
I'm on record of being in favor of limiting voting to those who can demonstrate basic knowledge of our political system with a simple poll test. Simple stuff like "what are the three branches of government".


As for women :shrug:. Well, look what happened after we passed the 19th Amendment. Stock Market Crash, Great Depression, WWII, Communism.... I mean, it didn't go very well, did it? :mrgreen:

Yeah, but look at what we had before.

Depressions, recessions, WWI, Communism... And slavery too.

All that didn't go very well either.

On behalf of me and my foremothers, shall I apologize now, or wait until you get back from the kitchen with my sammich?

I'm sure there's a way to blame this on women voters as well.
 
A paper on Tigger?

Oh please.

I gotta finish my dissertation ~"... technology dissemination..." It'll require 6(+?) months.

*Cuddles*

Someday, that'll be behind you, and you'll be a PhD the rest of your life.
 
A paper on Tigger?

He's an acolyte in search of a cult leader, would be my guess.

LOL - there are whole entire books already out about his type. . .

One's called 'Why Does he Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men' . . . and another 'In Sheep's Clothing - Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People'

Two very good books on the psychos and the nutters that breath among us.

But I think he just says **** to try to weird people out - which is why it just lost anything with me . . . I know he just wants attention because 1/2 the time he contradicts his own claptrap ****.

Simply not true. Women are more responsible for the care of their dependents both in family and the work place. This comes off in their usual agreement public social spending be it public education, assistance through college, Social Security, or Medicare, or support for UHC. Historically speaking public education, Social Security and Medicare have all experienced major support from women. They have also all experienced more support from women than their male counterparts historically speaking. The same is usually true for most social issues that come up that involve children. I am throughly convinced that women are more collective minded than individualists and I believe the stats and most of the experts agree with that view. It is not attack on women really and I'm sorry you are taking it as one.

Hmm - Those things tend to be aligned conservative/liberal. . . I think all of that means less than the fact that a lot of women find republican women to be the utmost in ignorant disgust. Nay - the entire republican party is the utmost in ignorant disgust. . .As if republican women somehow have become 'gender traitors' or something by holding conservative values - you know, us stay at home moms get it rough . . . and so does any female who opposes abortion and who might choose not to vote - and so on.

Look at the biting comments towards Ann Romney - Palin - and others from women who were on 'the other side' (either libertarian or liberal, etc) - I think that's pretty dominating.

It seems as if they assume everyone who's a liberal supports women's rights and those who are not liberal don't support women's rights . . . which is just absurd.

I don't joke, remember. It's been told to a mental health professional before. We both agreed there was nothing he could do to change (he used "help") me so we went our seperate ways.

No. More likely the other way around.
 
Who is Arnie, and why's he laying around if he's supposed to be stepping and fetching my sammich?

LOL - his 'get to da choppa' line was from Predator - Arnold Schwarzenegger.
 
O! I may not have ever seen that movie. Creature features aren't usually my thang, Auntie.

*gasp* - So, cheesy sci-fi flicks from the late 80's don't swing for you, eh? :D

I've actually never really watched the movie, either - it never interested me. But my husband says that line all the freaking time - anytime he sees a helicopter or Arnold Schwarzenegger. LOL
