Thanks! It's nice when someone respects your opinion, instead of trying to shove their own down your throat.zehydra said:and of course the scientist will then proceed to say you are irrational for not accepting what many of them treat as "proven".smudgey said:I don't believe in either the Big Bang theory or Creationalism.

I admire your position.
Scientists do not claim that nothing existed before the big bang. Although Hawking said that it is possible that something can become out of nothing I don't believe that though. I'm more inclined to believe that something always did exist. What that something is I have no idea. I don't believe in god so whatever it is that existed always in my opinion isn't alive, it could be just energy. Life is a different phenomenon that occurs in very specific conditions.smudgey said:Thanks!

Your right!! there are exceptions to what you just said. For the guy part especially. I've noticed that lesbians, the butch kind, are a LOT more manlier than me.will1182 said:Biologically, it's more difficult to be a girl. Socially, it's more difficult to be a guy. Think about it.
Girls have to deal with menstruation, pregnancy, child birth, more body maintenance (makeup, etc.) all while generally being shorter and weaker than men, on average.
Guys are expected to appear confident even if they're not, never cry or show emotion openly, are often responsible for initiating a relationship (as well as propagating it), compete with other males to be the "alpha male", and automatically lose any court case involving rape or child custody.
Disclaimer: This was all IMO. I realize I made generalizations and there are exceptions to everything I just said.
