If Men Could Menstruate
by mrsjones5 inif men could menstruateby gloria steinem.
a white minority of the world has spent centuries conning us into thinking that a white skin makes people superior - even though the only thing it really does is make the more subject to ultraviolet rays and to wrinkles.
male human beings have built whole cultures around the idea that penis envy is "natural" to women - though having such an unprotected organ might be said to make men vulnerable, and the power to give birth makes womb envy at least as logical.in short, the characteristics of the powerful, whatever they may be, are thought to be better than the characteristics of the powerless - and logic has nothing to do with it.what would happen, for instance, if suddenly, magically, men could menstruate and women could not?the answer is clear - menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event:men would brag about how long and how much.boys would mark the onset of menses, that longed-for proof of manhood, with religious ritual and stag parties.congress would fund a national institute of dysmenorrhea to help stamp out monthly discomforts.sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free.

MrsJones5 Got a Joke for you......
WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE Barbara Walters, of 20/20, did a story on gender roles in Kabul ,
Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict.
She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind
their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, 'Why do you now
seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?'
The woman looked Ms Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation
said, “Land mines.”
Moral of the story is (no matter what language you speak or where you go):BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART WOMAN -

Life after death
by truthseeker ineveryone has different views about life after death and whether or not it is a possibility.. as jehovah's witnesses, we were always taught that there is no life after death, that this is the only life we have now and that the wages of sin is death.. .
what are your views on life after death?.

having a PHD doesn't make you right, smart or relevant.
Excellent comment EntirelyPossible....this also applies to evolutionists.
Nickolas....Scientific evidence that appears to be in support of some Biblical truth is given as the other side of the story. Scientific evidence that is given to support evolution is given and then used to say that other people are stupid, mind controlled and generally nut cases.
Why do evolutionists need to push their ideas this way? Because their ideas don't add up. So they have to attack people personally to make themselves seem superior.

EP not ALL scientists are evolutionists. Many are creationists or at least doubt that evolution is feasable.
I havent given up on anything....do you want to pay for the ticket?
Just so we understand.....these were some of the creationist or non evolutionist scientists that I am reaping the benifits from...these....and many many more.

Nick....I think fundamenally you don't understand where I am coming from.
Let me make my postition a bit clearer for you.
I do not care wether anyone here believes in Jesus or God. No one comes to the father except through him. It's between you and God. If you don't get it. That is not my problem. I am not trying to convert anyone to my beliefs.
Evolutionists are the ones who have a problem with people not believing their silly theory. Again...your problem. Not mine.
I am simply trying to nut things out so that I can get my head around them.
EntirelyPossible Short of buying a plane ticket and taking you to meet him personally. You have enough evidence already to be getting on with. Although I would enjoy the trip. I cannot afford it. I answered your question a lot more than you answered mine.

FAITH, the biggest excuse for IGNORANCE.
by nicolaou inwhen you claim that some impossible account from the bible is true are you doing so because of evidence and honest reasons or simply because you want it to be true?
if the evidence your claim is based upon ends up being proven false would you stop making the claim?.
if your claim is based only on wishful thinking then you are being dishonest with yourself.

ziddina....so what I am hearing you say is that because you have 50 years experience in this field...you cannot be wrong? And you know all? Have you ever considered that you have come to this conclusion because you based your reasoning on evolution being true?

Jgnat I was not referring to your management of your sons behaviour. To me that is a completely different issue. One that I am sure with your love, care and understanding manage very well.
