@Bill Cipher

Is this a serious comment?

Bill thinks it is.  Just run down some of his posting history.

Which makes this place a rich opportunity for a leftist to shove that crap down our throats.  A laboratory if you will.  It's like studying insects under a microscope.

Their ideology cannot afford to leave a single nook or cranny of doubleplus ungoodthink unindoctrinated.

I appreciate your intent here, but you gotta understand that outside of forums like this one your view of the world is constantly shoved down our throats. This place is a refuge.

I don't even post that frequently. The posts just tend to blow up when I do because people want to disagree with me.

@Cyber Liberty

Physical standards for women have already been lowered for women in the armed services.  There’s a minority of women bodybuilders who are abnormally strong, largely due to steroid use.  But those don’t seem to be the ones who want in to the service.  It’s the ones with something to prove.

That's the old "Chip on the Shoulder" thing?

These gals who want to prove something will pay for that with their lives if we're in a real shootin' war.

Thank you for proving my point for me.

Obviously I think I'm right. You don't? When you take the time to disagree with me are you not attempting to help me understand something I don't understand? I think you're wrong about a lot of stuff. It's not fair to get pissed off because you haven't been able to change my mind.

Maybe it's because we know you're wrong?

It’s obviously got some hyperbole,  but at bottom, yeah, it’s a valid comment.  Those who claim to “protect” women - or any other group - have a distressing tendency to do so in a way that, mirabile dictu, just happens to restrict their freedom and treat them as less than full adults. 

Every single apologist for the Muslim treatment of women uses exactly the same excuse:  it’s for their protection.

Well when it comes to population we are.

I don't think that's a relevant concern considering the national and world population.

@Bill Cipher

The two don’t go hand in hand, though.  It’s true that Muslims mistreat women and justify it as protection.  But the traditional male protective impulse toward women is a positive attribute.  And it just makes sense.

God knows my husband is protective of me, but he’s the polar opposite of smothering and abusing.  Same with the women in my family.  We’re talking confident professional women who enjoy strong protective men.


I say this to Beto fans, Trump fans, all fans of politicians: it is un-American, ridiculous, and dangerous to be a fan of a politician. They aren't pop stars. Support them if you agree with their policies. Criticize them when they go wrong. They are servants, not celebrities. —— Matt Walsh

I always consider the possibility I am wrong.  You obviously do not.  You lack a sufficient ability to doubt yourself, you mind is closed.  I don't give a shit if I don't change your mind.  You are what you are:  An amusement.

To clarify:  I don't give a give a flying bleep what you think.  That doesn't bother me in the least.  What does bother me is you troll this forum I administer.

You obviously do not.

My world view has changed drastically over the last 12 years. I want to be wrong, because then I learn. I think in politics between two people that aren't ignorant it's less of a disagreement about what's factually right and wrong and more of a disagreement about what's morally right or wrong. You think you've adequately proven me wrong however many times, but maybe all you've really done is state your own opinion. I don't always choose to continue engaging. That doesn't mean my world view has been proven wrong and I'm choosing to ignore it.

It is if you are a civilized society and don't want to be overrun with Vandals. 

But, I don't think you believe we're "civilized."  We're Troglodytes. *****rollingeyes*****

Well if they want equal rights, this comes with the territory.

You see, that there is the problem. The straw man, equal rights (women already have equal rights under the law), over common sense biology: that is the importance for mothers to rear their children (and fathers too, barring war).

No I don't, but if you want to ban me for my views now that you're an admin you should go ahead and do it now instead of slowly building up to it. I've asked Myst to ban me more than once anyway.

That's rich.  You never engage, you lecture.  Big difference.

I'm tired of this crap.  Go lecture somebody else who likes it.

Nope.  Banning somebody who disagrees is contrary to TBR policy, which is what I'm tasked to uphold as Admin.  Now, if I really considered you nothing more than a troll... :whistle:
