I thought the funny part was about getting slapped back to the stonge age. That must be a real slap :)

For some of use it's that far. :rolleyes: Belly make noise, need food. :)

Well, the idea was that if the opposite would've been true, the shock/horror/etc. of the act would've far outweighed any humor than can found in that line. But anyway, I just always found that odd.

Yeah, if it were a guy slapping a gal back to the stone ages, then any decent guy would be tweaked about it :)

Ever wonder why it's considered funny for this, but if the opposite were true (man slapping the woman), nobody thinks it's funny at all? Yeah I know, I'm getting good at hijacking threads. :-D

Not terribly un-common in old slap stick comedy. There is a lot a slapping going on both ways. :)

That loses the humor element because the woman could sue the crap out of him. Whereas with the bitch-slap, only a doggone fool would waste money even trying to sue her. :rolleyes:

Pick a fight with someone smaller or weaker than you and you are a coward. Pick a fight with someone bigger and stronger and your a hero or an idiot. Generally men are stronger than women.

How old is old? We're living in different times now, and I'd wager the reason it's not considered funny now (by most) is due to this and the relatively recent change in social stature. All that notwithstanding, I thing I most find odd about this is how people can take delight in hypocrisy. Not, trying to be a spoil sport, etc. I'm just thinking about human nature here becuase I'm in a mood. :-D

Ok. I have to be anal here. :) Strength isn't the only determining factor to a fight being won, but if I get what you were saying then I totally agree with this. I find the idea of balance plays so true in so many aspects of life. And that's what I see happening in the scenarios you presented. Another example, people like to insult ego, pig-headed fools to bring them down, and people like to inspire and lift up insecure ones. This is all within reason of course, but it comes back to balance.

I didn't say that on purpose. I'm highly gifted in the ways of getting into a bitch fest it seems. :-D But yeah, that's one of the points I wanted to bring up. Assuming this is only the plane of physicality. But what really makes one weaker? Psychical strength? Long gone are the days where a club is the only weapon around. Why should strength be the determining factor when in fact we can easily claim brains over brawn (think about humans are dominant in the first place; we ain't the strongest creatures). And if it is the main factor, is it a residual thought process that was never really let go of from the olden days when women were meant to be seen as subservient? Anyway (ok I'm done rambling), but I see it's about balance. That ultimately weighs more on people than hypocrisy, etc. And yeah, I'm bored. :->

What's makes that cynically funny is it's so true.

I actually commend Josh for saying it (no, I'm not saying you do or don't either). Most people tend to think stuff, but never say it. Right or wrong, how do we expect to understand other people's viewpoints if nobody ever says what they are thinking because they may be taboo?

I was just thinking along those lines today, the new Survivor is apparently going to divide the group into "tribes" by race. In the promo ad a Hispanic guy says something about it being great to be all Hispanic in his tribe and they will kick ass (Hispanic power) and I was thinking the "white" tribe members couldn't possibly say something like that or they would be villified.

Yet another reason to avoid Survivor, on top of the many thousands that already exist...

I agree - having an insolent woman in the house is certainly no laughing matter. This applies to both residents and guests - no matter how highly stationed on the social ladder you are, ladies, don't think you won't feel my backhand for speaking out of turn!

Great Nish, why don't you just give my wife more ideas. If she ever sues me I will have you ...

So she's back and you've had to very quickly change your ways.

How many of you take a Bike (Bicycle) to work? I am going to try it tomorrow. Actually not purely a bike ride but a bike + bus ride (buses have bike racks).

I'd like but it's not an option for me: one minute after starting cycling I begin to sweat :doh: It would be very nice to see my colleagues and boss sawing me arrive to the office completely wet. :-D

Well, I can only speak for myself. I always ride to work when the weather is fine. In the morning, the way to my office goes downhills, so I don't need more time than the tram trains. In the evening, I need nearly twice the time to ride home. That's just what I need after a day on a chair at a desk. :cool:
