Female President?

---

unfortunately, not nearly enough shit has fallen out of my ass compared to the likes of Bush

Isn't Hillary Clinton Running in 2008??

In reply to: The USA in general is a county that other nations look to. For what? Certainly not political leadership in the past decade and certainly not for moral guidance in the past 50 years. Financial guidance? Yeah, there are several countries which do that, basing their economic policies largely or exclusively around US economic decisions. But don't you think it's odd that virtually all of them are 3rd world countries, debts running into hundreds of billions of dollars, paying billions of dollars a month to US banks and companies in interest on government loans? In other words, they have no choice, economically speaking. The few who do this without being under crippling debt are the emerging economies, where the total wealth of the entire country is less than the personal wealth of the top 3 Americans on Forbes' recent list. For them, it's just easy. In reply to: I'm probably smarter than your partially aborted ass Maybe this is true but unless your posts are a pack of lies expressing sentiments you don't really feel, you're considerably less well-educated than he is and understanding virtually nothing about the way the modern world runs (except for the fact that women deserve to be treated equally) means that you'll probably never be able to contribute to (or even survive in) mainstream society once you're no longer being supported by someone else.

thanks buddy

If everyone votes for her, even if she doesn't run, she'll have won the popular vote... so what would happen then?

The chance of that happening is near zero. But if it did, she'd have the choice to serve. I don't see her turning it down in that case. But if she did turn it down, I suppose whoever won as vice president would become the new president.

If a female president ever runs they will automaticaly win because the majority of women will just vote for them because of their gender and not what they have to offer for the country (Im not saying all women would vote, just the majority). I dont think a women president would be able to cope, just like women cant be on the front line because they cant mentaly cope with it. Im not being sexist here I just think women are naturaly more caring and I dont think they would be able to cope with making decisions that could end hundreds of peoples lives.

It hasn't happened in the past. Polls cotradict you. It doesn't happen when women run for other political offices. John Kerrey (who ran against Bush in the last election) didn't get all of the Catholic vote either. Women aren't as stupid, or as thick as thieves, as you imagine them to be.> I dont think a women president would be able to cope, just like women cant be on the front line because they cant mentaly cope with it.That is not true. You can tell by the fact that women are getting killed in Iraq just as men are. There are politicians who want to pull woman out of combat, simply because women are getting killed and wounded in Iraq, and it's morally wrong for that to happen to women, but not men. Do you realize that there are women defusing bombs? Also, In WW II, there were a bunch of women journalists on the front lines, with the men. They didn't all run off crying.> Im not being sexist here I just think women are naturaly more caring and I dont think they would be able to cope with making decisions that could end hundreds of peoples lives.You are being sexist, and you're wrong. The mistake you make is bringing your biased views of your own experiences and prejudices the this discussion. You are obviously too sheltered to really understand. You haven't lived long enough, been around enough, or learned enough to have an opinion in this area. Next time you get on a an airplane captained by a woman, will you turn around and walk off? Will you turn around and leave an area with women in their police department? And would you hop off the operating table if a woman surgeon was going to work on you?Women are only good for nurturing? Are blacks only good for picking cotton? Both ideas are demonstrably wrong, but you attitude is short circuiting half of the population, a lot of whom might be better for certain jobs that what we've got. Your cynicism is not doing us any favors.Somone will ineveitably throw around the phrase "politically correct", as if something that is correct becomes incorect when it becomes politically correct. Politically correct just means "something that you believe that doesn't conform to my prejudices". Whether or not it's politically correct, 1 + 1 still equals 2.With one hand tied behind her back, Margeret Thatcher would kick you punk ass and wage a war. So would Golda Meier. Go learn who they were. So would a lot of women who are currently in the military. (So would most any roller derby lady.)______________In reply to:According to a 2001 Gallup poll, the U.S. public is split on whether women should fight on the battlefield, with a slim majority supporting the assignment of women to ground combat.From an article about women in combat.

"John Kerrey (who ran against Bush in the last election) didn't get all of the Catholic vote either."Huh? I thought Bush was the the one who appealed to Catholics.

I think he means the Independant party

Didnt a female try to run last election?

George W. Bush and John Kerry were the principal candidates in the 2004 presidential election. Neither is a women. Kerry, the candidate with the Irish name, is Catholic.Catholics have traditionally voted Democratic.John F. Kennedy was Catholic, and he had to overcome the prejudice of people who'd just as soon vote for Satan as for a Catholic. It was tough going in the South. That's why Kennedy chose a Protestant Texan as a vice president.

If youre saying women can do everything men can do thats BS and if youre saying men can do everything women can do that BS. My freind is in the millitary and there are a 4 women soldiers in his unit. They are not as physiclay strong as the male soldiers in his unit and get more emotional, he said they had an exercise where they had to choke each other and one of the females did it and he fucking laughed cus it was so pathetic (an this was in the USA military so you cant say its because englands lame or somthing like that). Im sure there are many women who can beat the shit out of me and alot of other men but all I'm saying is those are a minority. Women are not built to fight and kill. I have yet to find a woman who I fear is going to beat the shit out of me.>Next time you get on a an airplane captained by a woman, will you turn around and walk off?I have never been on a plane captured by a woman and I dont even recal a plane ever being captured by a women. But I would sure as hell rather duke it would with a women hijacker than a male hijacker (not saying I like hitting girls ).>Women are only good for nurturing? Are blacks only good for picking cotton? Both ideas are demonstrably wrong, but you attitude is short circuiting half of the population, a lot of whom might be better for certain jobs that what we've got. Your cynicism is not doing us any favors.If you read what I said I didnt think a women president would be as capable as a male president because of the psycological side. Yes some women have better jobs than I will probeably ever have and they are probeably better at them than I could ever be. Women are built differantly then men. Its like having a guy with no arms and a guy with no legs ones better at playing soccer the others good at playing catch. Just because someones differant doesnt make somone else better it just meens they are more suited to differant things.Politicaly correct is bull shit. Its just like this crap with dissabled people and everyone saying they can do everything than a regular person can. Well they cant, thats why they are called disabled. Everyone has certain groups of people have certain limitations but if anyone points them out they are said to be a racist sexist etc.

Next time you get on a an airplane captained by a woman, will you turn around and walk off?>I have never been on a plane captured by a woman.....He said captained, like piloted by, or flown by a woman. So a woman pilot flying the plane.

ha ha well i feel silly . I'l blame it on lack of sleep and not my lack of reading skills. I often get similar words mixed up, dunno if this is somthing to do with dyslexia or not :S

Women and men are not identical, and neither can do everything as well as the other. But I can't think of anything a president (or PM) has to do that couldn't be done by any number of women. We had at least one president in a wheelchair (the one who oversaw the WW II), so physical strength is obviously not a requirement for the presidency.

There are a lot of cases of men acting badly in times of crisis. If a woman acted badly, I can imagine what you'd blame it on. You need to at least learn about Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meier before you comment on this subject again.

As far as going into battle is concerned, quailified people (physically, mentally, and trained) should go into battle; others should not. Gender is besides the point.

There are a lot of female airline pilots. There are a lot of female doctors. There are also a lot of female terrorists, some of whom haven't hesitated to blow themselves up.

Already know about Thatcher who was a bruital whomen, i feel bad for her husband he must have had his balls ripped off daily! Just because someone is millitary trained doesnt meen they are capable for the job. Some of the people in the army are fuking morons. Did you ever hear of that black hawk chopper that gunned down a wedding of people be`cause they were celebrating with "happy fire" and they thought they were shooting at them. Personaly I find it hullarious but I'm sure it wasnt for them.

Already know about Thatcher who was a bruital whomen, i feel bad for her husband he must have had his balls ripped off daily!Right. A woman who's tough is a brutal bitch. The fact that she prosecuted a war, and won handily, is besides the point.> Just because someone is millitary trained doesnt meen they are capable for the job. Some of the people in the army are fuking morons. Did you ever hear of that black hawk chopper that gunned down a wedding of people be`cause they were celebrating with "happy fire" and they thought they were shooting at them.So you're saying that the military is poplulated by men who are morons? Anyway, I'm talking about the leadership. There are generals who turn out to have bad judgement, but by and large, they are quite capable, regarless of their gender.> Personaly I find it hullarious but I'm sure it wasnt for them.That comment was completely irrelevant to this discussion. The idea that a bunch of civilian getting machine gunned is not funny to a sane person. Is this part of the angry young mohawk guy complex?

That comment was completely irrelevant to this discussion.I was pointing out that just because someones military trainded doesnt make them at all smart or ready for battle.>The idea that a bunch of civilian getting machine gunned is not funny to a sane person. Is this part of the angry young mohawk guy complex?How is that not funny? You can imagine them all dancing around firing their guns and then this huge chopper appears and guns them all down. I mean how do you fuck that up? Oh no there are terrorists in wedding gear shooting at us! And before you question me I am not saying that all military personel are teen drop outs I also know of alot of adults who finished highschool and joined out of choice. Im just saying there are alot of idiots in the military.Dennis thature was definatly her bitch. I bet she used to dress up in leather and whip him!>but by and large, they are quite capableHave you seen the numbers of troups from other countrys american soldiers shoot accidently? All my friends who joined the army joined as a last resort because they dropped out of high school or had no money for college. My friend Jake said most of the people in his units were idiots, some guy got kicked out because they were throwing grenades over this wall and watching it thru the reinfoced window and he threw it and it landed ontop of the wall and almost fell back in!

men and women ARE psychologically different. It's an accepted fact (unless you don't believe in evolution). However, you are absolutely correct in that niether is more or less mentally capable than the other. The differences are also quite average in nature meaning that they don't reperesent hard and fast rules for every individual.I have no concerns about a female leader just like I have no problems reporting to a female mamnger (except she makes me sit on her lap during meetings)
