That you're gonna get hammered for lack of punctuation and capitalization. Then there are those who will feel insulted by your misnaming of Hatrack.

We usually do give non-native speakers of English some slack. I didn't realize conan the buff was a non-native speaker. His post read more like one of the ones we get from people who care little for spelling and grammar around here.
Sorry if this upset you. I was trying to poke a little gentle fun at the thing.
Mainly because I didn't take the question seriously.
I still don't. It's not a question I would spend much time thinking about. I don't believe there IS a war between the sexes and I'm instantly "turned off" by anyone who thinks they are engaged in one. It's a lot of petty non-sense that, IMHO, perpetuates negative gender stereotypes and, at least on a public Bulletin Board, is most likely to generate a bunch of tired one-liners with an occassionally funny sarcastic comment.

I'm sorry I didn't really pay attention to the registration date or the "warm hello" in your post conan.
Welcome to hatrack. I'm sorry I picked on you first thing.
That was very rude of me. I apologize. If it's any consolation, I treated your post like I do all others. I am apologizing because if I'd realized you were a new member, I probably would have been gentler and certainly not made fun of your spelling or grammar.
That comes later. And usually not from me.

New sn. But I've probably only made two hundred posts in my history on hatrack. So I'm reasonably new. I notice there's a certain sense of community here that I don't feel like I'm part of yet. By the way, if cheiros is trouble to remember, just call me Mitch. My name means Ender smells. i created this email adress to get rid of some annoying old friends on msn and at the same time to be my official one on hatrack.

Is it "Ender smells" (as in he gives off an odor) or "Smells of Ender?" (as in the scent of...)

i think it's both. I'm still learning. But it's meant to be construed as Ender smells. And it's "de", not "do". My mistake but no point changing it now, sorry.

Hey guys thanx for the appoligies, no english is not my first language as you can well see but i do try im sorry if i offended you with my spelling and punctuation im actually Africaans. The Awnser to my question is that males should think of females as the dominant sex and visa versa then we will all get along. I am new to Hatrack and i will try and improve thanx.

Africaans! I had a good friend/coworker in NYC who was from S. Africa. He had the coolest accent ever. Women certainly were attracted to him for that and his startlingly good looks (not that I notice that kind of thing in other men, of course).
So, welcome. And I kind of like your answer to the battle of the sexes question. I prefer that my partner and I strive for equality and that neither seeks dominance.

Here's an edit, to the best of my knowledge:
Hey guys. Thanks for the apologies. No, English is not my first language as you can see. But I do try, I'm sorry if I offended you with my spelling and punctuation. I'm actually Africaans. the answer to my question is that males should think of females as the dominant sex and vice versa. Then we will all get along. i am new to hatrack and I will try to improve, thanks.
I won't say anything regarding you're topic since we see eachother all the time, <grin> but I'm sure someone else will have by the time I've finished posting this.

Hi conan the buff. Sorry I didn't welcome you in the other thread, but... I can't remember what was keeping me occupied at that time.
I'm gonna have fun on this question anyway. Even though I like your answer.
Battle of sexes:
If you're looking for a non-complicated answer, then Men. Due to the fact that we are less complicated and have less issues than the opposing gender. Not that my past is riddled with females with issues or anything....
However, cheiros do ender had it right for the "sexies."

I agree with Conan. Let's turn it all over to the women and stay home. They'd do a much better job, and if they don't, we get to bitch about it!

Hey, English isn't my first language either, but you don't see me whining about it. And even in German, which I speak only a bit of, I would at least make some kind of attempt at proper capitalisation and punctuation.
On the other hand, it's perhaps just as well that the form obscured the content, because it's a rather immature question. Better at what?

Better in general. And if you can only "speak a bit of" German, it's not really your first language if you think about it.

Okay, I'll rephrase Conan's question myself: Which sex do you believe is better in general and why?
And what's your point anyway when you're the King of all mankind and he's a 16yo afrikaana in Australia? I don't think that's really a fair match.

Oh, and obviously women are better. They've got less hair. Also they weigh less (well, except in America) so they consume less of the Earth's resources. In fact, a world with just me, and the rest of the population women, would be a superb thing. Well, maybe some guys to play wargames with. On the other hand, in a population of 3 billion, there's bound to be enough gamers to put together a small group.

Women don't consume less. They just do most of their consuming in a different form: With our credit cards.

This makes me giggle, since my husband spends FAR more than I do.

Asking which sex is better in humanity is like asking which atom is better in water. I'm partial to oxygen.
Single oxygen atom seeks attractive hydrogen atom for a radical relationship. Let's do some bonding. No deuterium, please.

I don't know if I'd agree with you that oxygen ISN'T better than hydrogen. We do breathe it, after all.

Not really. Without oxygen we'd probably have about 4 minutes to live, and that's only if you can hold your breath really long. But if the sun ceases to exist we still have about 15 minutes to live. So I stand by my argument that Oxygen is better.

Ridiculous. About 80% of your body is water. Without hydrogen, that turns into raw oxygen, which instantly reacts with the carbon in your body; you'd be left as a vaguely human-shaped heap of ashes, or maybe a wisp of C02.

Wow...oxygen vs. hydrogen...spelling and grammar and punctuation oh my! I would have to say that I don't use Kwea's credit card... I spend my OWN hard earned money, thank you very much....and I have seen many men eat 4 to 5 times the amount that the women around them ate at one sitting.... on more than one occasion.( And to answer the inevitable question.. no the women weren't models or picking at their food, they ate normal, healthy portion sizes and did not over indulge!) My cousin, Heather, loves to play war games! Why would you think that only men like that stuff? (Heather got a high powered hunting rifle for her birthday too! It's not just for guys ya know.)
quote: Oh, and obviously women are better. They've got less hair.
I have more hair than Kwea...of course it starts at my scalp and goes down past my backside, but I still have more hair than him!
As for an answer to the original question: neither, we both have our foibles (spelling?) and our strengths, we balance it out pretty well I think.....except when they think they are the only ones allowed to have possession of the remote control! What is that about anyway?

I should like to draw people's attention to the last sentence in that post :
quote:Originally posted by king of Men On the other hand, in a population of 3 billion, there's bound to be enough gamers to put together a small group.
But women are, in fact, pretty rare in the wargaming community; at a rough estimate, they are outnumbered 20 to 1.
