I think you can stop with the chauvanistic bullshit, Brian. It's getting old and it's really grating on my last nerve.

I don't care if I finish off your last nerve. I had been joking most of the time on the boards until now. With the exception of me talking about the cooking of the dinner (:: Has learned most females can't cook anyhow::) I meant what I posted. I know there are exemptions to it since I have ran across a few women I wouldn't want to mess with.. Call me chauvanistic on this subject because I am. I don't care that women are in the military, but on the subject of them doing all the fighting.. I just don't see it happening.

::Raises a brow and then simply shakes her head:: Brian I know being a solider and all you see a lot of things that would lead you to believe that some women could not handle or be able to fight. There are women I have met that I wouldn't mess with even if you paid me.
As for cooking. Maybe you just don't the right kind of women. I can cook like there is no tomorrow and Shari can bake like the devil. ::Dreams of her cookies::
Brian ya know I love ya to death but the only thing a man can do that a woman can't is write their name in the snow.
::Pets Shari:: So um when are you baking cookies again? ::Tried being all diplomatic::

Okay okay.. look.. can't we all juss be nice? Brian.. I don't know you all that well.. seriously. But tone down on the whole joking thing. It's not turning out to be a funny thing. Espcially with the bashing of women. -- I can cook. Maybe you need to get out more, or get better cooking girlfriends. Whatever it is.. stop with the whole cockiness. It's oddly enough annoying.. -like me-

*pets Ashley*
I can't cook and if you were to hand me a gun and tell me to shoot someone, I'd probably prefer they shoot me. There are reasons why I do my rescuing over a telephone rather than out on the road. When I went part time, a lot of people asked me why I didn't just try to go out on the road. Never wanted to be a police officer.
I could also try to be a firefighter or paramedic, but I'm squimish about blood. I've really considered the paramedic part too, but... no.
I actually want to be a teacher. I will be, eventually, when I get through school. There are women fighting in the war and I think Brian underestimates us all, truly. I'm not an example of a gender just because I'd be useless in a war and can't cook. What I do do, however, keeps things so that the soldiers have a place to come home to. I deal with a lot of BS at work, but I've also saved lives. Whether that be giving CPR instructions over the phone or just being a voice that cares when someone calls because they want to end their lives. I'm young and I sound it, but I've been able to convince a mother that her child does need her, I've found a location when most of my coworkers would have already given up and I've been the only link to help when someone hears someone breaking into their house. You're right, I wouldn't be a bit of use on the front lines, but if people weren't here being mothers or fathers, doing their every day jobs or simply keeping their friends strong of heart, then there would be nothing to fight for.
My brother said before he left that we have the hardest job here. Y'all are there fighting, but you know whats going on. You know as soon as it happens. It's the people you left behind that have to doubt your safety, that have to wake up every morning and wonder if you are still alive. They are also the ones who have to find the courage to understand why when they find out their loved one isn't coming home. Play all you wish Brian, but don't mistake one strength for being bolder than the other. Not until you've had to be in the shoes of someone watching their loved one walk away and knowing they won't get the chance to see them again for a long time, if that. The country is at war, that means all of us for good reason. I doubt you'll find anyone who hasn't been affected in one way or another.

All I had been talking about was if women were in total control of the war and such. I know I should watch my mouth but reading or hearing certain things can set me off easily than normal. I apologize but I can't guarantee I'll stop until I have some kind of a life again. I suppose being stuck around people all the time keeps my defenses up and around here I can speak rather freely.. I'll leave the boards for now just so I don't say something else that you all won't like.

Brian no one is saying to stop posting...Just think of others feelings before you post something...You have to remember the kind of women that post here are very strong women...Well at least some of us are...So we are easily defensive as well...I can not even begin to imagine what your life must be like over there...So how about we all retract our claws and enjoy the new year...

Agreeing with Dasi mun. I like hearing what you have to say... gives me a little bit of hope really. We keep missing my brother's phone calls. He said the sunset in Kuwait was beautiful... and still it makes me want to cry to think of it...
Even if what you say comes out as chauvinistic () : )
Then again, my being a "strong woman" goes off and on. I can typically be the quiet, observing type. I do like my character does and hush up in large crowds.. then again, every character takes something of the mun along with them. Lavi has my tendancy to throw things when angry and Nym has.. a lot more than I realize at times. She's kinder than I am.
My outspoken female tendancies only really come out when I'm talking to people on 911 that call for ridiculous reasons and then want to scream at me. I'll talk calmly for a while, trying to get them to listen, then I'll yell at them to quit yelling at me/calm down and then my voice goes back to sweet, reasonable lil' ol' me. Talk about multiple personalities there....
