I'd like to hear why you believe women shouldn't be in combat. Historically, beyond the physical strength issue, women have been excluded from combat because a tribe can replace men killed in battle more easily in one generation than it can its women. One man can, after all, fertilize many women, but if you lose your women it becomes difficult to repopulate. That doesn't seem to be a big concern these days, but maybe it is to you. You mentioned a mother and the needs of her children--if a woman can't or doesn't want to have children, would she be an exception? I'd just like to hear your reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-16072831877350500132007-11-30T19:43:00.000-08:002007-11-30T19:43:00.000-08:00November 30, 2007 3:31 PMI agree, but that also go...November 30, 2007 3:31 PM<BR/><BR/>I agree, but that also goes for the males as well..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-38852840107800280442007-11-30T15:31:00.000-08:002007-11-30T15:31:00.000-08:00For tose that want 'equal rights,' its 'equal resp...For tose that want 'equal rights,' its 'equal resposibility.' <BR/><BR/>But never special rights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-75850921270363591772007-11-28T04:24:00.000-08:002007-11-28T04:24:00.000-08:00i believe that for jobs like firefighters and poli...i believe that for jobs like firefighters and police officers that u cannot discriminate by hgt., wgt., gender, age or physical handicap. As long as they can do the job. the same amount of push-ups, sit-ups etc. if my house is on fire and they send in a person who can't get me out because he or she is not strong enough. because they need to fill quotas or can't discriminate is ridiculous. i am a police officer and much of the job is reason. u talk people into handcuffs. if you are a moron, other cops will recognize this and be reluctant to help u because u will get them hurt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-27241752397126292422007-11-27T16:29:00.000-08:002007-11-27T16:29:00.000-08:00Paul,I understand your angst, and I agree with you...Paul,<BR/>I understand your angst, and I agree with your mindset, but this is the way of the world now. They trained her to be a killing machine, she stepped up to the plate, and I have no doubt she will kill with the best of em. I must confess, though, I also find it a bit arousing; the thought of that gorgeous, warrior princess on that Gatling gun. Up on her tippy toes, hanging onto that killing machine, mowing down ragheads left and right, burst after 1000 round burst. Smoke hanging in the air , up to her shins in empty shell casings, Intense-focused. I can almost hear her as She mutters under her breath: "thats rights mutha f---ers, you want some more, I'm right here for ya, bitch, mommas goona give ya sume more", As her "gat" begins to glowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-756491229684694522007-11-26T16:29:00.000-08:002007-11-26T16:29:00.000-08:00Danica Patrick does something every bit as dangero...Danica Patrick does something every bit as dangerous as a police officer or a warrior and for a much more frivolous reason --- Money! Why? <BR/><BR/>Because people want to watch her drive fast and they are willing to pay for it. Her chances of being horribly burned, maimed or killed on the track are as good or worse (depending upon your point of view) as the female warrior's and in her case it's all in the name of entertainment. Is she and her popularity another indicator of a failing society?<BR/><BR/>You're swimming against the tide of current society Paul and as antiquated as the hoop skirt and steam powered locomotion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-87047943513871200382007-11-25T20:09:00.000-08:002007-11-25T20:09:00.000-08:00While I agree with your stance, I think that if yo...While I agree with your stance, I think that if you asked these women who volunteer for these dangerous jobs what they think, they would probably call you a male chauvinist pig and tell you to mind your own business. I've worked with a number of female state troopers over the years and can tell you that a few could whip both our azzes without really trying. I think some of these women have more testosterone flowing thru their veins that most men do. We are not "sending" them into harms way. They are asking for the chance to do these jobs and know the risks in advance. It still doesn't sit well with me, but I respect their wishes, and would only hope that those with small children think twice about what is more important, their kids or their jobs. Now, there are women who are police officers who are ultra feminine (like the girl in your pic) who may be good at what they do, but probably shouldn't be doing it. It's such a waste of a beautiful girl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-90293288794024967232007-11-25T09:18:00.000-08:002007-11-25T09:18:00.000-08:00There are some great and courageous ladies doing p...There are some great and courageous ladies doing police work or are in the military. Many are well qualified for the task but that does not change my opinion. <BR/><BR/>I hated seeing Chicago police officer Irma Ruiz on the medical examiner’s table more than all of the dozens of male cops I’ve seen in that condition in my lifetime. Her children needed their mother more than Chicago needed this great gal working routine patrol. <BR/><BR/>It’s just uncivilized sending women into danger when we really don’t have to do that.Paul Huebl Crimefile Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841397705805774698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19929098.post-80418216389885678872007-11-25T09:08:00.000-08:002007-11-25T09:08:00.000-08:00what?!?!?!?
