"Young man" and "Young lady" are not equivalent.

"Young man" and "Young woman" are equivalent and anyone woman who takes offense at being called a woman has her head screwed on wrong.....it is NOT an insult despite what society tells you.
I've seen women take offense to female, woman, lady, not having gender mentioned...etc. Depends on the person I guess.

In the context..."young lady" was fine, he would have referred to a male as "young man" in the same context. The only way I'd see a problem with it is if he said something like "female officer" or "lady officer"... in a context where he would just refer to a male as "officer".

Those women hating islamofascists cheering this murderous palestinian terrorist wannabe will be ripping out their beards when they hear a woman took him down.
God bless her for stopping that rampage and a speedy recovery to her and all the wounded. God bless the victims families as well.

Oh well, as long as the people that make the drugs donate some of the profits to Congressional campaigns.

Also, why do't they allow people on an Army post to carry weapons? Never could figure that one out.

Sgt. Kimberly Munley, who lives in Killeen, Texas, has been hailed a hero by Fort Hood base commander Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, who credited her today with bringing the massacre to an end and saving an untold number of lives.

The military needs to go back to the .45 and get rid of that dinky little 9mm. instead of having him wounded, he would be going into the ground instead.

That would keep girls out of action for their inability to handle a man-sized kick.

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.

Do not - I repeat - Do not incriminate Big Pharma!

You are messing with something much bigger than you know.

Do you know what's going to happen to the stock value of the Pharmy making the drug the good Major was ON at the time of the attack?

Pharma is Allah!

Allah is great!

Pharma is great!

Now, everyone cover your as* with me, and repeat.

Oooooh, sounds like it really bothers you that a WOMAN, (NOT a girl), was the hero of the day.

She STOPPED him.


So she didn't kill him!

A. he's suffering

B. He can stand trial and pay the consequences.

C. He wanted to die and he did not get his way.





D. NOT all women are as wimpy as YOU would like to think. Haha!

my daughter was raped repetedly at gun point for hours by a man who had just raped another woman the week before
good grief
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
