How very... sheepish of you. But it's o.k., we all mature at some point.

In New York City, you can get your neighbors to hate you if you fumigate your apartment, because all the nasties escape to the neighboring apartments.

Yo! Its been

Hummmm.
Anyway, did you have an opinion Suzianne?
What do you reckon: wouldn't policies be more thought out if the decision makers where evenly mixed by gender?

Nice bending of the facts.

It is the conservatives who are so obsessed with regulating people and freeing corporations. The liberals want to regulate corporations and free the people. You do know the difference, don't you?
Corporations are government constructs.

They are like mini governments that raise their cash for elections and fuel their economy..

They pretend they are "private" but when they go belly up we know better, don't we.

The terms "conservative" and "liberal" have lost their meaning over the years. Today, the GOP champions big government abroad and small government at home while the DNC champions big government at home and small government abroad. But at the end of the day we get both every damn time.

And why not? If you create Frankenstein he goes where he bloody wants. After all, who's gonna stop him?

Simple. They know who he is, in there, and don't put up with his nonsense, like they do in the GF. So, for him, it's not a zero sum game like it is out here in the GF, more like a negative sum game, and so he stays away. Too bad we can't get the same in here and in Spirituality. Maybe then vilification of normal people would stop. Yeah, I know, I'm dreaming.
I would imagine your reasons for not posting (much) in the Debates Forum are more or less the same as mine.

What about the thread topic, though?

Would the inclusion of more women in positions of power and leadership perhaps lead to better decision making and less corruption in the management of our public domains?

I wonder if in your vilification you include bullying persons by using their personal
and panful life stories and dead relatives, plus the spamming, copy pasting,
hollier-than-thou arrogance, and non-stop hypocrisy.

Or am I reading you the other way around? Er... am I, in you eyes, one of the
normal (aka "goodies"😉 or one of the vilifiers (aka "baddies"😉.

Yes, I think if the US elects Hillary she will bring peace to the world and end all corruption in the US federal government.

What about women more generally speaking? I am not so interested in discussing your views on US retail politics or your preferences for the US presidential election.

What about them?

I see no greater or less virtue based upon sex, but it seems you do or you would not have created the thread.

So how did you come to this conclusion?

Where I live, women when they are organized and when they get to participate in decision making and leadership at the grassroots level clearly have different priorities. These priorities reflect their different perspectives on what is important in everyday life. They also arguably buck the trends and bad habits of a system totally controlled by men since the year dot. I am not convinced that we can judge what women would offer to the political domain merely on the performance and character of women who fight their way to the top of a male dominated political culture on the male political culture's own terms ~ like Hillary in the US.

see that guys just buy lots of beer and arrange a place where they can relax,
drinking it all, eat grilled sausage, watch sports, and then fall in drunken stupor.
Instead, ladies buy cider and a little beer, some wine, finger food, napkins and the
rest of the implements needed. They also confirm several times so the guests
arrive on time and properly attired. Music is always present, not to low but not
to loud, to allow social interaction, and condoms are readily available... unless,
of course, the men attending are not losers and the ladies, a bit over thirty, can
hear their biological clock ticking with the subtlety of a machine gun.

Is this a "new crap thread"? If not, do you have any on-topic comment about the OP? 🙂
