How would you prefer to punish me for the crimes of other males--the guillitine, the rack, or just hang me upside-down for a few years?
Granted, historically men are responsible for the greatest-reaching evils we know. Even so, what was it we were supposed to learn yesterday about individuals vs their circumstances? Maybe being a male doesn't inherently make one worse than if one were female. Maybe.

I appreciate your comments on this thread, and most of your comments, at all times. You strike me as being a bit more mature than some of the other guys. Which is funny 'cause you consider yourself immature - not! Matter of fact you ROUTINELY make me question my own stereotypes that I hold on the male LDS mindset.

I have often thought that a sign of immaturity of young girls was when they kept bragging about how mature they were and how immature boys their age were. In actuality, I think the perception of maturity has a lot more to do with being able to communicate effectively. My guess is that I am not really that effective at communication (I've seen you badly misinterpret me a few times and vice-versa), rather I just get lucky sometimes.
I know I'm immature in many ways. I still think bodily noises are funny. I don't agree with all the rules of politeness and I will rebel at times when I think some rules are stupid (don't talk back to your parents even as an adult--if they don't want me to reply then they should NOT talk to me in the first place).
