Downunda 10-22-2002 05:00 PM

Not only will it leave more time for us guys to watch the footy but...

Quote:

Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada, offered a solution to today's scandal-riddled world: women leaders. "The qualities that are defined as masculine are also the same qualities that are defined as the qualities of leadership. There is virtually no overlap between the qualities ascribed to femininity and those to leadership." Yet in several studies, Campbell said, "results show that when you have a critical mass of women in an organization, you have less corruption." Peru and Mexico have even implemented initiatives based on such thinking. And Campbell warned that "lest you think that all we aspire to for the world can be accomplished by male-dominated organizations, I have only to say to you: Enron, Taliban, Roman Catholic Church."

LOL. DONT let them see that downunda ;) they might get ideas [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehe, no, just look to the drow if you want to see where a female thingy doesnt work ... (grins, well BG2...) [img]tongue.gif[/img] *runs*

Who is the leader in New Zealand? (admitting to great great ignorance of the world at large} My favorite govenors in Texas have been female. According to some people the leader of my country (George W. Bush) is a woman. Does that count?

WillowIX 10-22-2002 05:12 PM

Yes itīs an interesting point Downunda. And also one of the feministīs slogans. Now I donīt quite agree with the statement. Itīs my belief that itīs power that causes corruption not gender. Queen Elizabeth I was quite ruthless, as was Catherine I of Russia. Now it can be that women are more gentle and sensitive. Hormones have been found that cause for instance maternal instincts in females, whereas the same hormone has no effects in males.

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.

Consider this: men have a surrender reflex; women don't

women are ruthless in a fight. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Bruce The Aussie 10-22-2002 05:47 PM

my oppinion: women should rule the world 'cause they have the boobs. :D

being serios though my favorite leader (bill clinton) was my favorite because of the corruption and womanising. so a woman just couldn't fill his shoes (not that george w does)

Timber Loftis 10-22-2002 05:56 PM

Oh my god it's happening. They've finally figured out that they don't need us. :D :D :D

There's still doubt as to whether she is a woman and if you want her Pauly, she's all yours. ;)

[img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] You mean that they don't already? Seriously, how about Margaret Thatcher, whom you lefty types (you know whom you are :D ) loathe? And my favorite Senator, Kay Bailey Hutchison? And Condaleeza Rice? Women can be quite as stern and power-using as men.

YOU HAVE NO PROOF THAT EVER...umm nevermind :D

fat men don't really have boobs they just have mounds of fat. only women truly have boobs. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Sir Goulum 10-22-2002 06:14 PM

Ugh...Kim Cambell. She was the Prime Minister of Canada for about...6 months [img]tongue.gif[/img] Anyways...I agree with Willow...its the power that corrupts. But then again, that was in a Tzarist and Monarchy rule. They would have absolute control of everything.

Johnny- My..god.. :D :D

pritchke 10-22-2002 06:29 PM

I really disagree, I believe we are what we make our selves. As far as men being more corrupt I don't really believe that at all. I am sure there are more Martha Stewarts in the world. I think we will see more, and more corrupt woman as females are placed more and more in positions of power. Are men generally more greedy or power hungry? I don't think so, men don't go after chicks with money the same way woman do. "Gold diggers". A 20 year old guy is very unlikely to marry some 80 year old just so they can have them pop off and gain their inheritence. These are things that wemon do. So woman are no better than men in being pure. Thay are often more crafty and sadistic in achieving their goals if anything.

i'm inclined to agree. we are what we make ourselves. I myself am corrupt. or at least i try to be if at all possible [img]tongue.gif[/img]

That's two names isn't it? Hillary and Clinton? Or does it count as one? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Attalus 10-22-2002 07:27 PM

LOL, Khazadman, you are a good one with a phrase. But, Willow is right, if you go back and read the women's sufffrage crap, though I do believe in women's suffrage and equal opportunity and all, women like Emmaline Pankhurst wrote that when womenhad the vote, wars would be obsolete because no woman would vote to send her son or husband off to be killed. Nice prediction, Ms. Pankhurst. :D

SpongeBobTheDestoyer 10-23-2002 02:04 AM

I don't know about women ruling the world, but my wife does rule our home. And here she comes, I better log off. ;)

</font>[/QUOTE]What are you talking about Downunda. Women already rule the world.

The hand that rocks the cradle.......

WillowIX 10-23-2002 05:08 AM

But why are there so few female leaders in todays countries? Is it because women are not that interested in politics (it is in my case :D ) or is it the old holding the strings theory? Now imagine the USA had a female president at the moment. All sheīd have to do to finish the trouble with Iraq is to call Saddam up. You know "If you scratch my back, Iīll scratch yours [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] ". Problem solved [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Now back to the no wars thingy. In the old matriarchal societies men were burned at stakes to increase the fertility of land. Who was the greek god of war? I definitively think men finds it more interesting with guns and such though. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
