Yes I am. :-) 100%

How about for trade?:-)

Your a girl, too?

fair enough-
my husband would say-there are no coach purses in the Gulch. lol

Good man! My husband always gets me something nicer than what I get for myself. Like a pair of Jimmy Choos. Drool.

We would indeed fight over purses. I convinced my wife that my choice for her most recent purse (a smallish red Coach purse) was better than hers. She (sitting next to me) confirms my choice was more suited to her real tastes than her more conservative, formal choice.

Which is exactly the type of person they look to recruit. They play on the persecution complex, the "unfairness" of their circumstances. This leads right to getting back at those perceived to have gotten the upper hand, who somehow did that person a bad turn. All bs, of course. But ripe pickings.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that saw the humor in that. :-)

Hahaha!

"expresses femininity" probably good friend material. how feminine though? would we fight over purses?

Define extremists.

This is just banning "Islamist" groups, which means extremists. It doesn't ban Muslim orgs. It's fine to ban extremists groups on campus, but it won't stop them from going off campus. They need to promote non-extremist religious orgs. People have trouble in life, and they look to religion. If they find an extremist religious org, it's dangerous.

lol

I think the war has already been declared...On America... we're just ignoring it as if it hasn't been declared already.

While I agree that banning Muslims may sound good on the surface where does it go, who gets banned next? Anyone willing to give up (or take away) a bit of freedom for a bit of security is worthy of neither.

If this war, we need to declare it. If its not we need to drop it. Half way doing something is like not doing it at all.

I have a small farm (side business) in hay and cattle. The idea that animals do not think is something I believe to be untrue. Most learn not to touch the electric fence in a week after you put it up, but every year their is about 1 of 10 yearlings that just keeps hitting it over and over again and cannot learn it hurts, do not go that way. A lesson that a much larger percentage of humans seem to fail to learn as they repeat bad behaviors over and over again and get the same bad results.

Our minds are more complex and theirs very simply, but they do learn, the do have personalities and they do think.

Just as a side note, the dumb one that cant leave the fence alone, he goes into my freezer first. It just tastes better when you know it was the one that kept making you chase it.

I think someone got a button pushed. :)

Hay I have my hot button issues too.

Speaking as a man, I see it as a sign of strength and self esteem when a man expresses femininity. A man more capable of expressing femininity than myself is probably more intelligent, more creative, and more charming to the fairer sex. He earns my envy, not my disdain.

I won't claim to be a typical male specimen, but this particular "instinct" to which you refer is not something I ever recall feeling.

Trying to imagine it from a more primitive, pre-language vantage point, I think I would feel that a male behaving according to cultural norms for a female was primarily scary. Perhaps after a period of observation, and examination of his musculature, I might decide he was weak...

Gut instincts?

My ears are bleeding.

Forethought.

Don't piss off a woman.

Logical and true.

I agree. I never hear anyone that has a European background saying they are French-American, German-american, etc, etc.

Lol!
