Most chimps are more clever than most humans. Most humans could not survive in a chimp’s environment without clothing and tools. Most men could not survive in a woman's environment with clothing or tools.

lol yes I really do now see the connection between strength and fate. Pfft. Don't you see that your 'Fate' argument is 'cancelled out' by an equally powerful argument (i.e not powerful at all) the other way: a weakling is unable to save a crushed otter, who, had it been saved, would have gone on to warn the villagers of an impending Tsunami, thereby saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Of course 'doing more' could have unpleasant consequences. Just as 'doing less' could have unpleasant consequences. While we cannot flawlessly predict the future, we do try to assess the moral consequences of a particular action, and make a decision - whether to do 'more', or 'less' - based on our particular value system. And such an assessment is not usually just a wild stab in the dark, unless the assessor is utterly thick, or there is simply no background information to help him. Either way, would he be any better off as a weakling? An individual armed with the capacity to perform tremendous feats of strength is in a better position, with regard to manipulating the world in the way he sees fit, than a weakling is. I'm not saying all feats of strength are morally desirable. I'm not saying all strong people make moral decisions I agree with. I'm saying strength is better than weakness, in the same sense that a Pentium 4 is better than a Pentium 2 :(

But the question is, just because one is able - just because one has *options* - is that "better"? Whether the man chooses to lift the tree from the dying children, or not, he still feels the burden of the choice when, years later, one of the children kills 7 nuns and an ice-cream vendor. Perhaps the man should have instead saved his drowning wife instead of the children? You may begin now to see the connection between "being strong" and Fate. The perception of strength gives some the percerption of choice, but really - does either really exist? And so he bleeds.

Dovina my first marriage did'nt work, because I married for all the wrong reasons, Being she was going to have a baby, and I thought that was the right thing to do shiiiiit! my father use to say do you love her? is it your baby? or you for sure.If not go see dana that was his word for D.N.A. but I would'nt listen come to find out it wasn't mine. so this wasn't for better or worse it was for worse or better.

Not bad, not bad, but I have some edits to suggest: 1st Stanza-- Devil, Devil, hear me pray, listen close to what I say. 2nd Stanza-- I would pay you to tempt me with your clever little lies, offer me your cruel malice wrapped up in a cherry pie. 3rd Stanza-- Devil, Devil, hear me pray; keep my sobbing eyes at bay. 4rth Stanza-- I would beg you to smite me As only Lucifer himself could. I deserve to suffer much more Than merely being understood. 5th Stanza-- Devil, Devil, hear me pray; teach me the wisdom of your wicked way. 7th Stanza-- Devil, Devil, hear me pray; take me, take- take my spirit away: 8th Stanza-- If I can not make you do to me what you must, I'll offer my soul to you with a single direct thrust. Consider them if you feel so inclined. Blessed with seven.

Does the strong man crush the delicate china teapot when he picks it up? No he does not. For he is not compelled to use his strength inappropriately. Some strong men do use their strength inappropriately, but that is not an innate characteristic of strength. And yet would the weakling be able to heave a fallen tree off the crushed legs of some dying children? Or even his own crushed legs? No, because he is weak. And is only capable of weakness, regardless of whether or not weakness is appropriate to the circumstances. Jesus wept.

"I’ll bet I am more spatially aware than most men, and can run farther and faster than you can." I suppose you take pride in the fact that you can outrun and out-think a handicapped. Sure I may be incapable of attaining high speeds in my Wheeled-Chair, and I may have difficulty parking owing to my unbelievably appalling spatial co-ordination, but at least I haven't turned this debate into a 'personal' debate. When I said what I said about womans being worse than mens, I did so out of a pure intellectual curiosity. I bring no hidden agenda to this discussion; no shameful prejudices about women being jolly good at embroidery etc. I do not seek endwarven one particular sex beneath another. I seek only the truth. And to point out that not only are women generally weaker than men, but also that it is less convenient being a woman because you have to menstruate once a month. Men don't have to menstruate any times a month, unless they're gay :(

"A strong man is not compelled to use his strength inappropriately": False; you fail. I'm sure even this version of you can understand the flaws in that near-statement (and the converse). Maybe you don't really understand the concept of "strength" - or will sarcasm or wit take the place of an answer? That's what I predict will happen - the True One would have the proper response - but not "you".

(a) Do you believe that for men to be better than women every man must be better than all women?(b) Do you believe humans to be cleverer than chimps?
Re: a comment on In Answer To Your Question by Dovina	Dovina 205.184.71.11	29-Jan-05/11:35 AM
Your ridiculous assertion contradicts itself in concluding that men are better than women after saying that “on average . . .” I’ll bet I am more spatially aware than most men, and can run farther and faster than you can.
