<Beating Sobolewski to the punch> WOW! RAOTFLMAO!

Women are free and equal and doing all sorts of *** that they used not
to be doing and they own guns to shoot men with and all that ***...

????? I'd like to suggest that the more we evolve (provided that men
won't blow up the friggen planet)

Which friggen planet is that?

The only one we're presently on.

The astronomers seem to find a new one
each year, but I don't remember any of them being named "friggen". If
you're talking about THIS planet, you're always boasting every time
some female chief of state takes office. Would you feel better if a
woman blew up the friggen planet?

Let me know when there is enough female representation to accomplish
that.

that the more women will have
opportunity to do all the things that men do....incluing shooting guns,
but that doesn't mean that women will CHOOSE to be as violent, and I
don't think they will (but that's just my opinion).


You must be in a somber mood today. When did you ever acknowledge
before that your opinion was just your opinion?

I do so frequently. You do know the difference between facts and
opionions, don't you? Think of it this way; the FACT that more women
than men are in college these days is a FACT. The FACT that there are
more and more single mothers today is a FACT. The FACT that men
prevented women from voting based on sex/gender, is a FACT. Now, I
have lots of opionions but all of them are based on the facts I know.
:-)

...and they're held back by FEAR OF TESTING?????????????????

Sure. Women are more cooperative than competitive; it stands to
reason that they might fear testing more than men.

RAOTFLMAO con BRIO!

???? Well, if you really want a good laugh, it appears that men fear
telling the truth more than women. :-)

But they're not HELD BACK BY THAT, are they, Puke?

Sure they are. Their EQs are also challenged because of it. :-)


They don't allow it to hold them back. Your principal complaint is
that men aren't held
back enough.

Men hold themselves back Dave Sim cockpuppet; just consider why more
men aren't entering college these days; it has nothing to do with
women.

I don't believe that what you just said is true, anyway. Women have
been lying to themselves for years now.

Now, that's an opinion, and one made by a man divorced by Deni Loubert,
a man who wears penis coated glasses.

If women fear tests, then the tests have to be eliminated in the name
of "equality" because the tests make women unequally situated. Right?
Right?

I don't think testing should be "eliminated" but already colleges are
placing more importance on actual academic contributions than on
testing.

What's that supposed to mean? What are "actual academic
contributions"?

Well, we are paying less attention to SATs and placing more attention
on grades, which tend to show the caliber of the work done.


How can people be in a position to make them until
they are allowed to enter college in the first place?

High school activities and grades.

It seems to me that some rudimentary testing should be
applied before one could ....say...become the president of the United
States. I mean, it would be darned nice if our president could parse a
correct sentence together, don't you think?


There's an old Doonesbury strip from 1980 in which George Bush the
Elder is pushing his prospects in the Republican primary. He boasts
about being an Ivy Leaguer and asks his interviewers, "Theodore
Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and John F. Kennedy were all Ivy Leaguers.
Do you know what else they had in common?"

Someone asks, "They got us into war?"

"Right", GHWB announces proudly. "Those schools don't produce wimps."
But all of those presidents could parse a correct sentence together.
Woodrow Wilson was a professor at Princeton.

So, it would seem that you believe the test for being president should
rely more on how easily the person can engage us in wars? Interesting.

The tests aren't really testing true cognation tho. What if the person
being tested was raised by gorillas....do you really think that person
would test as highly as one raised near Stanford? :-)

It would probably test more highly than one raised near Aromas. How's
the poor abused David Scott Hemingway doing?

I don't know. Why don't you look him up and ask him?

You don't KNOW? When was the last time you saw him?

You pretend to know so much; you tell me. :-)
