It's All Her Fault!

Nation: Lately, More Ills Of The World Are Blamed On Women

Is it just my imagination or are women wreaking more evil than usual these days? We all know the reason boys don't read is that female teachers assign books about girls, and girls have cooties; and the reason half of all marriages end in divorce is that women have outrageous expectations, like that their husbands should talk to them; and the reason the Democrats lose elections is that they pander to female voters instead of being manly and tough. Oh, wait a minute, the Democrats won the last election. Women aren't just evil, they're powerful.

Here are some other things women are responsible for:

Rape I know, I know, it's an old charge, but Australia's top Muslim cleric, Sheik Taj Aldin al-Hilali, has managed to make it new. "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden, or in the park, or in the backyard without cover, and the cats come to eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat? The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred." Because veiled women are never raped, at least not as long as they stay in their rooms. Sheik al-Hilali later said his remarks were taken out of context — he was only talking about prostitutes.

Gay Preachers Pretty women may make men rape them, but ugly ones are even more powerful: They turn men into homosexuals! Here's Pastor Mark Discoll of Seattle's Mars Hill Church blogging about the downfall of evangelical preacher Ted Haggard, purchaser of gay sex and meth: "It is not uncommon to meet pastors' wives who really let themselves go; they sometimes feel that because their husband is a pastor, he is therefore trapped into fidelity, which gives them cause for laziness. A wife who lets herself go and is not sexually available to her husband in the ways that the Song of Songs is so frank about is not responsible for her husband's sin, but she may not be helping him either." Gayle Haggard, mother of five, must feel pretty silly for contributing a chapter to her husband's weight-loss manual, "The Jerusalem Diet," in which, according to Publishers Weekly, "she urged women to accept their bodies and be gentle with themselves."

Iraq And you thought Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and those other neocons were in charge! Not so, according to the American Enterprise Institute's Michael Ledeen, quoted by David Rose in the November Vanity Fair: "Ask yourself who the most powerful people in the White House are. They are women who are in love with the president: Laura, Condi, Harriet Miers, and Karen Hughes." Ladies, you had the President's heart in your soft little hands, and you blew it. Now all those Iraqi children are dead!

I don't mind women in power, I live with two women and they know every position, being over powered can be fun too.........

Before it's over, Nancy Pelosi will be villified just as much as Hillary was as First Lady...men can't stand a woman with power, particularly men who didn't have a good relationship with their mother. I hope she is strong and effective because she is going to have to do the job of three men just to stay in position...every little thing she does is going to made the most of by jealous and threatened men...and by women who love to back-bite. Get ready, Nancy!

I think women, particularly American women, have been negligent in staying true to their natures and instead have found power in emulating men instead of enjoying their equality by embracing their nurturing maternal nature.

[catt42701]

If people didn't really believe the rot it would be funny. Unfortunatly once men felt threatened by women's strength they started blaming them for everything that does and could go wrong. Someday men will clain responsibility for their own actions instead of trying to blame women. I don't think I'll be alive to see it but I wish I could be. I had a college history professor say once that sooner or later women will come into power and that he hopes that they treat men better then men treated them. I'm a little for the vengence part but like I said, I will be dead before women come into their own.

To the person who asked: "let me ask you if the person who created the earth and everything in it who owns everything wants to destroy his things?"

Remember that big portion of the bible that dealt with Noah and the flood? Remember what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah? Remember that part that talked about a 'vengeful god'?

Your answer is yes, and often.

and to finish my earlier statement regarding that protestants dont serve the same God as catholics and muslims ask a muslim if he believes the Bible he will say no and then he' ll tell you about the quar'an and the god of the quar'an and the catholics will tell you about the Bible which only the priests are allowed to try to understand and read in services and if you are Bill Gates you are pretty well off cuz you can buy your way into heaven by making a very large charitable donation for a certificates of forgiveness and if im not mistaken those are still used in the south american areas

[Jasonian18]

And regarding your comment of His 'inexistence' when you go to heaven to be judged why don't you ask Him yourself ask him how he can judge you if He and i quote 'is not real' when simply you can't prove evolution occurred either, it has more proof disproving it then it has proof supporting it and in that proof supporting it almost all of it has been disproved or is based on circular reasoning also evolution goes against so many fundamental laws its aggravating because it disproves itself even before anything to it is said for example and i quote 'everything is mutating becoming better' ok there Einstein how is everything moving towards a state of entropy like the second law of thermodynamics says! or how about the natural law that stats that almost 100% of mutations are harmful! so how on earth would this world wit so many creatures exist if by mutations that are harmful and a world that is decaying and now becoming better oh let me think oh i know God made it it is His and we should ask His forgiveness for our own stupidity.

[Jasonian18]

Ok dude how dare you say that this bloodshed is carried out in my God's name or in the name of the Holy Ghost seriously dude muslims and the catholics and the protestants don't serve the same God protestants serve the God of the Bible which is merciful and just and let me ask you if the person who created the earth and everything in it who owns everything wants to destroy his things? exactly my point it wouldn't make sense but stupid mankind which is sinful in nature kills their neighbors and continued on and so forth

[tibu987]

Yep, it's all my ex-wife's fault.
'Nuff said.

[marcodele]

Ya gotta snip the females too. Even if you neuter all the male cats, the females will fight all night and keep you awake. Trust me, I know.

[macusweil]

feral cats mating in the street a problem?.. simple- neuter all the males end of problem

[marcodele]

Scary, isn't it?

I also think the whole world should start protesting female castration such as in India.

Why is it the most bloodshed, the most oppression, the most pain, is always carried out in the name of a religion and a holy spirit that nobody can verify?

[adventurepa]

This goes back to Adam and Eve in the Bible.
Probably in Muslum Koran too some where.
Eve ate or picked the apple and brought sin on mankind.
This is why women have been blamed for most things and have not had equal rights.
Religion can be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Actually still practiced in some religion's that women are not equal to men.
In America, women only began to be able to vote in the 1920's. That's just 86 years ago or so.
46 years ago they were burning bra's.
Not that long ago if you think about it.

Yup, and these characters want to rule the world, but then, they are the same ones that rioted and killed over some cartoon characters. Man we are in for a long and difficult struggle, as moderate Muslims seem to not care and very time the media gives these people a forum to spew their BS.

[tdiky]

On behalf of my wife of 25 years, two daughters and four sisters, only the totally ossified brain of a complete moron would buy any of this garbage about women.

[wolf563]

Asmart child would threaten this man .

[cathaleen]

Anyone who agrees with this idiot is probably
slightly above moron. Most men who feel that way toward women are very stupid and backward. Smart women threaten stupid men. It's not even debateable.

[bluestardad]

Women will soon be required to register for the draft then equal rights and responsibilities will be a reality.

[akarsno]

Women are getting smater and better than men in what they do. Firstly they think before they act on it.
I'm all for women lib!
Go Girls!

Do not reply or respond to Bushrocks1 or agnim, neither are worth the trouble
