      I'm probably a better shot than you are.

          You don't know your CUF history very well.

                  We all have opinions. Some of us have some experience to base their opinions on.

                    What's sad is that I was agreeing with you, and you didn't read what I wrote.

                      Waup, I actually like you. I like that you think that your intelligence allows you to know more than people experienced in a field, do about that particular field.

                      You're right about not realizing you were agreeing with me. I don't know what the "Clockwork Orange" guy has to do with the "If..." image, and what that meant.

                      I thought because you are a language professor, you were making fun of the conversational tone of my post.

                        I suppose you do. But rather than present your experience in a reasonable, rational fashion, you posted a highly sexist photo based on an offensive stereotype. It destroys your credibility right out of the gate. When Don't Ask - Don't Tell was being debated, did you respond with fag jokes?

                          Jeff, CUF is a very politically correct crowd.

                          I'm not very refined.

                          I do bring expertise in certain fields, and I believe my attitudes and mannerisms are representative of many in those fields.

                          I don't claim to be as educated as many around here, but I shoot straight.

                          My views may seem biased to you... from your biased opinion.

                            FWIW, I didnt understand the "IF..." post either. At the same time I think JL is overreacting to the demotivational poster you posted; while it is sexist, it makes the point you are asserting and while I wouldnt use it, I can understand why you did. Even granting all this, you still went too far. There is no reason to be sensitive about a topic you are perhaps most qualified to discuss here.
                            PLesa excuse the tpyos.

                                Somebody needs to tell the Isrealis that women can't serve in a combat role. They have been doing it for years:

                                I have an Israeli friend who met this wife when they were both doing their mandatory service. They were in the same unit. Seemed like a cool way to meet.
