> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > 1. Really you are just using the word “rational” to indicate whether you agree or not with someone else’s decision (ie, the exact thing I’m accusing you of doing). That is, if someone maes an agreement you wouldn’t make, then by that fact alone you believe they are acting irrationally. That sounds like the opinion of an expert. ---

Thanks for the reminder. So, Dio, if you told your wife that you were going to quit your job and move to a kibbutz to live by yourself, and she and the kids couldn’t come with you, your wife would be cool with that and wouldn’t divorce your ass? ---

Highly ironic to belch about “typical idiotic comments” coming from me when in the same post you 're actually eating crow for one of your usual rants. ---

I tried to tell my wife about this and the other thread, thinking she would get a kick out of them. She just told me to “shut the fuck up, and get back to your chores”. ---

Thanks for pointing out the misspellings, everyone, super! :rolleyes: > [@Soliloquy](#): > > I’ve won more than one physical fight, sans weaponry, against males who outsized me. > > I’m just gonna stop there. Seriously not worth arguing… All of his 24 years of wisdom (not to bash those as young or younger who actually DO display wisdom) might crush me. Strange, no one ever wants to fight me, I’ve actually never been in a fight. One time some stupid kid tried to steal my bike, and all I did was pull back my fist and he goes running to mommy. That was 14 or 15 years ago, now it’s very evident that my size is not to be tangled with. In fact, it would be most unwise to shoot me, better make sure I drop with the first one, ‘cause you won’t get a second chance…just sayin’. 😉 To me, you are all vultures, since you can cowardly hide behind your computers, you don’t feel threatend while picking on someone. I for one will stand against the numbers, even though that makes me the bad guy, I am not a coward, nor a stone thrower. Do any of you personally know **Brazil84**??? If you met him and got to know him you’d probably think differently. My motto: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all…I think that was a line from Bambi. Why don’t you ever take sides at least, am I truly the first to defend him? That’s sad. I guess no one challenges the norm anymore, you all just willingly submit to Hollywood’s influence like mindless drones. Women are not superior as the movies claim them to be, they are, in fact, equal. (yes, Hollywood has everything to do with this discusion, mostly because we wouldn’t be talking about this if it wasn’t for the media) 🙂 (I put a happy face at the end of my posts to let everyone know I’m not at all enraged or angry, just stating my opinions) 🙂 ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > I don’t follow your logic. You don’t seem to be aware of the difference between partnership and subordination. There is a humongous difference —but both do indeed restrict your autonomy. Also, on the topic of it being irrational to give away your autonomy, I think anyone who has ever experienced a civil war would like to talk to you. ETA: are all the accusations against **Bosstrain** about road rage related to some old thread I’ve never read? Just curiosity. Also, to **Bosstrain** : doesn’t it strike you as a little pathetic to say, “If we lived in a world that we don’t live in, I’d be really attractive!”? ---
