this is silly. in order to make reasonable comparisons you must hold
certain factors constant, or it's apples 'n oranges time. sure, a 110
lb. woman who's a blackbelt could whup any number of larger men, but
i doubt she could do the same to a larger man who -also- had the 
training.

the only way martial arts comes into strength/power differences 
between the sexes is if one gender has an easier time learning them 
than the other. this is not the case, so invoking an extraordinary 
level of training to even things out doesn't even begin to disprove 
the original assertion: that woman are, on the average, not as 
physically powerful as men.

that said, it only means that the vast majority of women are not
suited to be combat grunts. research shows they -would- be effective
fighter pilots (better tolerance to G-forces, etc).

admit individuals on a gender-blind performance standard and leave it 
at that.

concerning the recent thread about how you met your SO, many people 
said they met through the net.  well ladies, here is your chance.
five years of college (going on six) hasn't helped me; neither have church 
activities.  the guy/girl ratio in my classes dwindles with each passing
year, and i'm not much for the bar scene.  so let's see who is listening
out there.  

save me from my lonely life and prove to me that nice guys don't always

It is unforuntately not to tough to believe that things like that happen.
I have minor experience in the military (9 years in the CF(Res) currently
a Captain). It has been my experience that it is the part time military
that try to be 'more military than the military' That includes the level
of inappropriate behavior. 
I try to teach the people under me that the rank and position carries a
level of respect that lasts about 10 seconds after that it up to you to
earn it. That goes both up and down the line. Looks like this Col wasted
his 10 seconds. No price is to high to pay because, romantic relationship
or not, respect is all you have at the end of the day.

That's not strong, that's stupid.

 What I Learned On My Christmas Vacation
	by Sarah Johnson

Sometimes there are things in life that you simply can't change.  Sometimes
people can't be helped just by loving them.  Sometimes decisions aren't final.
Sometimes choices have to be made.  Sometimes helping someone means hurting
them.  Sometimes loving someone isn't fun.  Sometimes pain comes from too
far down to reach, and hugs just aren't enough.  Sometimes icky things happen
to real people.  Sometimes people change, in different ways.  Sometimes you
have to say goodbye even when you aren't ready.  Sometimes life plays mean
tricks on you, and you can't pretend anymore that it'll go away.

Sometimes love is all you need.  Sometimes hugs are better than doctors.  
Sometimes teddy bears are enough to keep you going.  Sometimes a smile can
turn your day around.  Sometimes things can change for the better.  Sometimes
a hug and a smile can make a friend for life.  Sometimes the beauty of the 
sunset makes you forget about all the rest.  Sometimes the stars will remind 
you of why you still smile.  Sometimes the rain the night before wakes you up to
a whole new world.  Sometimes memories are enough to keep you trying.  Sometimes
love and happiness and friendship come from within, and it's all you need.

Sometimes things are both good and bad.  Sometimes a smile isn't happy, but it's
enough. Sometimes the cloud *does* have a silver lining, even if it's only 
silver-plated.  Sometimes all you need is an excuse to be content.  

As long as I can still laugh and cry, smile and hug, and forgive, I'll keep 
trying.  

Not an easy lesson.  But a memorable one.  

Keep on smiling!!  
*HUGS*

Just make sure I have a little bit less than you gave me at the LAST

you to HAVE to do that so I don't fall down.  Very unladylike.
