[St8arrow]

"You cannot gather information forever. Ultimately you must act."

A good example:

You can't spend your whole life gathering information about how to be a good mother. Ultimately you must act.

Why are men better than women?

Because it is better to give than to receive.

[Warmsoul/Jeanie13]

Why are men better than women?

Personal opinions are welcomed. LOL.

[St8arrow]

Why are men better than women?

Personal opinions are welcomed. LOL.

But Warmie, it is not a personal opinion it is a fact. It is not my intention to get too graphic here, but when a child is being created, it's the man who is giving and the woman who is receiving. Oh, oh, I hope this submission doesn't constitute grounds for me being ejected for (objectionable conduct.)

[Warmsoul/Jeanie13]

St8arrow,

Fact?? For real??? Says who, you????

I am very much aware of how a child is 'created'. Do you honest believe I don't understand the beginnings that brings a child into the world? Note: Not always consenting on the woman's part, so that doesn't float.

I have given birth, proud in being a mother, a wife. I ran the family business for a good while, which is still going strong, fyi. Own my own home, my own car. I make decisions. I can think, talk and walk all by myself. Without a 'man' telling me what to do.

I took care of my husband for over ten years with a dreaded disease that took him from us. In that period of time I put two of our children through college, worked, maintained our home and was there for him. Making sure he got the best medical care I could find. No I am not 'bragging', I am in fact stating that 'fact'!

Yes, I have taken this personally and I don't appreciate the put down. It was you that typed it, not I. If you felt, oh how did you state it?

Oh, oh, I hope this submission doesn't constitute grounds for me being ejected for (objectionable conduct.)

Then why did you post it?

Being a 'man', that particular sex, does not make you better than the woman. You are what you make of yourself. I am a child of God and you know what? In his eyes we ARE ALL equal.

From St8arrow

Well, humor certainly can become complicated can't it. I know that the sexes are equal and at no time was I putting the female sex down. In my other submission in a different thread, I make that perfectly clear.

From Warmie

I have given birth, proud in being a mother, a wife. I ran the family business for a good while, which is still going strong, fyi. Own my own home, my own car. I make decisions. I can think, talk and walk all by myself. Without a 'man' telling me what to do.

From St8arrow

If I carried my "give and receive" comment further, it becomes obvious that a woman "gives" a man a child and so one could say that such a gift makes a woman "better" than a man. I believed that you would see through that issue and not decide that I was putting women down. Actually, life would be pretty dull and of course it wouldn't even exist without women.

Because of our extensive communications in the recent past, I believed that you knew me well enough to realize that I understood the basics of this situation well enough to know that men and women should be treated equal. I think the humorous banter between a man and a woman is one of life's special treats and I hope that you concur in that belief also.

Cheers to you, and thank you for letting me know that my original message contained meanings that I did not wish to convey to you or any other reader of that submission. By so doing, you gave me a chance to tell you exactly how I feel about this situation.

From St8arrow

Good for you. Not everyone could have shouldered so much responsibility in such trying circumstances as successfully as you did.

From Warmie

Yes, I have taken this personally and I don't appreciate the put down. It was you that typed it, not I. If you felt, oh how did you state it?

Oh, oh, I hope this submission doesn't constitute grounds for me being ejected for (objectionable conduct.) Then why did you post it?

From St8arrow

The objectionable conduct that I was concerned about was the explicit sexual content in the message; even though I did not use any vulgar language to express it. It never occurred to me that you would take my comments so negatively and so personally.

But at the same time, it has given me a chance to explain myself more completely on this subject. If there is still some kind of resentment on your part concerning the ideas that I have expressed in this submission, please let me know what they are and I will do my best to answer them as honestly as I possibly can.

From Warmie

Being a 'man', that particular sex, does not make you better than the woman. You are what you make of yourself. I am a child of God and you know what? In his eyes we ARE ALL equal.

Warmsoul

I agree completely.

[Warmsoul/Jeanie13]

Because of our extensive communications in the recent past, I believed that you knew me well enough

Apparently don't know me well enough. Nothing more to say about this. My thoughts are posted above.

[St8arrow]

I think I know what is really bothering you Warmsoul but as you said, --- I'll have nothing more to say about this.

[Warmsoul/Jeanie13]

St8arrow,

You do not know me, so don't say you know 'what is really bothering' me. You have no clue about me, so stop.

Conversation has ended.
