Here's something else that popped up this morning for those who don't recognise the differences between men and women:
“ …. men account for 99.9 per cent of combat deaths, 94 per cent of workplace deaths, 76 per cent of homicide victims, 75 per cent of successful suicides, 71 per cent of homelessness….”.
Bet the girls won't be putting up their hands for some of that.

Answer- Here's some pages that may back up the above.

Men Dominate in Workplace Deaths

So, we have worked this out. We only want successful people in parliament. Therefore male suicides victims make the best candidates 75%. But for Prime Minister a woman is ideal, as men are very bad at dodging a bullet 99.9%, but 76% of men will bump off someone from the opposition, and 94% of male members will stab themselves with a paper clip in the chamber and that will be the end of them. BTW these guys were in action in the Liberal Party room just the other day, there was blood on the floor. And come the next election 71% of Liberal men will find themselves homeless.

Issy, obviously this Misses Man type uncle of yours needs to toughen up! Tell the fella to get a grip on it, and go down the pub when the kids are a commen'.

//Men in general are far better leaders than women// not so runner, Moses led the Israelites into the desert, which is about the size of Hyde Park, and he couldn't find his way out for 40 years. What kind of leader was that. Unless he was a Labour/Greens/Liberal type, given he got around in a dress and sandals he could have been.

CM,

You clearly have an enquiring mind and you are capable of looking things up for yourself, unlike many posters here who are always demanding references (which in most cases will receive as little respect as the opinions of those from whom they demand 'proof’). My opinions and comments are not based on any of the references mentioned by you; there are oodles of them, and I have no obligation to cite anyone else when expressing my opinions. I have given my reasons for not adding a lot of red type to my comments: people who choose not to agree with me (or anyone else) are not going to agree with my/their sources either. There are posters here who think that citing other people proves their own comments, when all it does is show that somebody else thinks what they think.

I read widely, all the time. I decide what I believe and don't believe, and pass it on for other people's consideration. Those people can agree or disagree, or they can ignore me.If they aren't sure, they can do a bit of research, just as you have. They can do a bit of research, just as I do. What they cannot do expect is me, or anyone else, to do it for them. We are expressing opinions, here, not running the country. In closing, I advise that I NEVER bother looking at references provided by posters because I assume that they will refer only to information that supports what they think and, if I don't agree with their opinions, I am not going to be swayed by someone else who thinks the same as they do, am I?

Whether the topic is politics, sport, television or
stamp collecting, make sure you are informed -
especially on the latest developments. An
imperative point to remember is to always know
your topic. Personal experience in the area is often
helpful in making you sound knowledgeable and sincere.
Also using evidence and statistics (preferably real,
not imagined) gives an element of authenticity
to your opinions. Providing a link to back up your
assertions always helps - and adds more credibility.
Then readers can make up their own minds as to what is
being said - by the evidence being provided.

ttbn,

The giving of references is to back up what you say, save people time and is a mark of thoughtfulness and politeness.

Is Mise,

“Politeness”? As in your refusal to answer my question?
