people that think there should be no form of justice, fine, take them all with yourselves and go live somewhere else as a big happy group
They should be subject to the laws of the land as spelled out in the US constitution.

Do you have vengeful emotions?

Don't know what your answer had to do with my post but most men who are afraid or women use the term "girl" instead of the word "woman"....makes them feel better.

Well, son, a girl might be less mature than a woman, but not necessarily.

Personally, I've never liked the term "woman" for general use.

The only time I use it is to differentiate a person from a man.

In the case of the Ft. Hood shooting event, Kimberly Munley was either an "officer", or she was Officer Kimberly Munley of the Army's Civilian Police Force.

But none of this changes the fact that, generally, women do not handle high caliber hand guns as well as men.

what do you think?
ever had a daughter raped??
But she is the hero, she was willing to testify before the grand jury
and re-live the horror so the son of a ***** would go to prison
what did he do??
He ran and hid afterward for days until his mother was arrested for obstruction
if I got my hands on him there would be no way he would rape again
because he would have nothing to use, got the idea?

Well, maybe the girls could use 9mm and the guys, .45.

Course, Sgt. Munley would have lost the fire-fight against Hasan if that policy had been in place.
My Thai wife all 5 foot and 95 pounds seems to handle my 1911 with no real issues. I know quite a few women that handle the 45 acp no problem.
I do agree with many tho. The 9mm is no match to a 45acp for stopping power.

So, Dad, you call all men "boy" until you see how they've matured?


"""generally, women do not handle high caliber hand guns as well as men."""



"generally" is NOT always ...and is NOTHING without facts.

Something I've never liked about the English language is that its nouns are not gender-identifying.

But, then again, what if "officer" was a masculine term?

I have no idea what post you're addressing because you quoted mine but didn't address anything in it.


Why do you need gender specific nouns...isn't the world sexist enough for ya, Gramps? Base EVERY judgement of a person on their sex? Sex is that important to you???

Have you ever thought of judging people as ...oh, I don't know...maube as PEOPLE...INDIVIDUALS???

On their own merit rather than their sex? Or is it just laziness that makes sexism easier and therefore more useful to erroneous ideas??
