What is the question?

"Man is the sum of his parts."

That's a vague answer.

Men and woman are different. I believe world would be a better place if woman ran the world. Woman would think more about sending sons and daughter to war. I believe. A interesting poem. Open the door to a wide open discussion.

Exactly, thank you Coyote, that was my point in the discussion I had last night...!

[khalid]

may i comment? ok..if so, if woman has the power to do that, what stops her? if she can lead the world, she must do it, not wait for permission!

[Frieda P]

There's too much testosterone in the atmospheric pressure.

[khalid]

oh really? i think this is only in the spot where you are sitting, try to change where you are..you will feel better. its so fresh and breezing here, i provide you with a tube of fresh oxygen if that helps

[Frieda P]

geez...who peed in your frootloops today?

[khalid]

im sure it wasnt you..

[Salar Majak]

ok this is soooo very confusing, i do agree with coyote anf Frieda though, i mean yeah the world would be a much better place if ran by a woan ;)

[Frieda P]

Welcome Aurora, and go you! ;-)

[Salar Majak]

hehehehe go girls ;) and Coyote :)

[khalid]

i dont care if i face many at a time, im always used to that. what i want to say is, if woman wanna lead the world, she is said to be half the population, she can do it..does a leader need a permission to lead??

[khalid]

if she is too weak to lead, then she will be always led..btw, i respect woman, she is mother, sister, daughter, friend...but really she must be strong enough to lead..im waiting to see what she may do!

[Frieda P]

How many world leaders are women compared to men, would be one helluva takeover....we're still second class citizen no matter where you live, we earn less, do 3's the work, yadayadayada....

[khalid]

yea girls can go but till where? the best people in all life aspects are men. even in cooking! i wait to see a female president of USA, isnt it strange the most democratic country in the world never led by a woman? who elected all those men?havent women shared in that?

[Frieda P]

'the best people in all life aspects are men'!! bit your freaking tongue!

[khalid]

you prove what i say! why does woman accept to be 3rd class? if she wanna lead the world, she must do something

[Frieda P]

I dare you to be a woman just one day, even though we have bigger kahunas than you, it'd still be near impossible!

[khalid]

shakespear is a man right? prophets were men, right? who is your favorite actor?singer? arent they men?armstrong?me?haha..but women are still good since you are one of them..(as i think)

[Frieda P]

Okay that one was below the belt khalid, I'm more woman than you could ever handle. First off this was not a question of women taking over the world, you went off the beaten path to make this a pissing match. Obviously we all know you can aim further than I can, that's human Anatomy and Biology 101. That just makes us different which is what I was stating in the first place with my first rather obnoxious opponent in this debate.

[quinfinn]

you mean to tell me that the great spirit isn't female? hmmm, makes no sense, since propagation of life requires ova....

[Frieda P]

blahblahblahblahblah....you better be on the side of the ovaries ;-)

[quinfinn]

oh, i learned long ago that woman is not only the deadlier of the species, but also the stronger and smarter.....allay your fears....i am your humble servant

[Frieda P]

Wow, and I didn't even have to get my whip out. ;-)

[quinfinn]

please no, not that....

[Salar Majak]

Marie Curie, Helen keller, Ann Frank, Emily and Charlote Bronte, Jane Austin, Amilia Aerheart, mother Teresa, Juane of arc, queen Zanobia, Cleopatra, shall I go on? there is an old arabian saying: ''behind every great man there is a great woman'' so stop saying that women can't lead my friend for we already do.

[Frieda P]

not to mention...Joan of Arc, Marie Antoinette and Annie Oakley

[Salar Majak]

yup yup, wonderful write Frieda!

[Salar Majak]

yup yup, wonderful write Frieda!

[Tarry Franck]

Guess that stopped him in his tracks...way to stick together ladies and Quinn - thanks to you too for taking one for the ladies team. :)

[Tree]

The world may be a better place if women had more of an active role in shaping policy, I believe that. But complaining about men and their "inflamed" hormones won't get us there. Action will. I for one would like to see that take place

[Tarry Franck]

Why is there a deleted post?

[khalid]

i didnt say that woman cant lead, i said since she can, why doesnt she? if she says that is because man doesnt allow her, it means man is stronger then. and again let me ask, who elected all the men presidents?havent women shared in it? let me confess, if there are two candidates, a man and a woman, im sure that men will choose the man even if the woman was better..do women do the same? if women can lead, they better feel self confident in each others abilities..anyways, statistics say that 65%of female employees prefer their boss at work to be a man..check it!

[Coyote Poetry]

A good example of a good leader. Hillary Clinton. She fixed Korea and was the key person in the Middle East. When she leave us. A great woman will be missed. I believe Hilary was the President. We would have no debt and less war. She had respect. Our male president had little. There was a female woman in Jordan. She held the country together. Woman are far from perfect. But better to lead with your heart then soldiers and guns.

[Tarry Franck]

Very well said :)

[Sheila Kline]

OMG! Talk about delving into a controversial subject!!

Hummmm, so where do I stand in all of this - do I stand, or do I sit? First of all, I absolutely adore men - the "all" of them, and as a girl raised by a very traditional, southern mother it is difficult for me to veer too far off the beaten path.

As far as leadership, I think women are as capable as men and I often quip and say we need a "Patricka Henry" to run for office in our country today. There are countless women who are/have been magnificent leaders, and in some cultures hold as much power as the men. In the Native American culture, many women are heads of council, chiefs, etc. And then I think of Evita, and Benazir Bhutto, Indira Ghandi, Queen Elizabeth, and on and on.

Many of my writings focus on the power a woman may have over a man but I also write of what a man means to a woman. I believe women need men, but it must be the right match. When the match is a good one, the sky's the limit as to what may be accomplished with such a force of love!

So, let me really go out on a limb here and say that I, Ms. Lady of Love, adores men, and am not intimidated by them, and is one who wants and needs the leadership of a man. I have been alone and in being alone, much prefer the advice and counsel of a man. Maybe, I am old fashioned with many modern views, but let me be my man's kitten! Let me be the one he adores, and just can't live without!

In summary, we gals just have to know how and when to use the power we have over a man, but use it with discernment. "Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly"!.....lol

[Frieda P]

Oh listen to you ya sexy p***y cat...MEOW :-P

[Sheila Kline]

It's when I growl that he knows he's in trouble......Hugs!!

[Frieda P]

RAWR!! hahah xo

[CS]

I just wanted to pop by and say hello. Doc said there were sign-ups for the feminine mafia here...

[Frieda P]

That seems to be the rumor going around...

[Amandaaa Caroline (:]

Hahahaha, yes, you have definitely started a debate that could last quite a while :P it's an interesting topic of discussion though, haha, I like this poem.

[s y e]

Well havent you started a debate?! Lol.

[David Scott]

No person is only the sum of their parts...
It is how the assembled creation chooses to use it's power that defines one.
It is plain to see in the imprint of one's actions just what they are.
Thanks for the mental spark.

[DrD]

It's when you are a sum of my parts that there's the real problem. Even so, I liked it.

[David Scott]

Sorry to "butt" in...
Ha ha he he!!! That was funny! Too freakin true! Ha.

[DrD]

It's okay. We have to stick together against the WC feminine mafia

[Gray Witch]

Am I being obtuse....? Well it's PART-ly because I don't know what "WC" stands for ...

[DrD]

It's not Water Closet, dear . . . Writers Cafe.

[Gray Witch]

Hmmm. . . well. you never know given it's you writing ... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I think you just have started a debate that could last an eternity.

[That_Girl]

Hmmm what parts? Maybe not all count... I know some parts are damn useless. ;) ahaha jk

[LA Lorena]

LOL! I can see a continuation of heated discussion coming on!

[Frieda P]
