for starters, i dont even believe in "God" so have even more trouble believing that this being would have wanted all women to be homemakers, especially since people existed before homes did
also, women from "way back when" were not JUST homemakers, they were workers. They gathered food, they cooked it, they cleaned it, they helped the men, they healed the men, they had sex w/ the men, they had babies, they took care of the babies, they taught the children, they traveled w/ their families, they made the clothing, they made the dishes, they made the shelters, they fought off wild animals, they carried water...
nowadays, women no longer have to do most of these chores just as men no longer have to devote all their time to hunting, fighting, and making weapons. For this reason, they have just as much of a right and reason to seek out jobs away from home. The only thing which prevented them from doing this during the recent centuries was the misguided notion men have been brainwashed into believing that women are supposed to stay at home and look pretty, a notion which was popularized by the lifestyles of wealthy women during the victorian era
Unfortunately, I all too able imagine the reason why anybody could be attracted to the masculine, graceless, sexless pseudo-women who throng our colleges: Alcohol. This is the only rational explanation for the astonishing amount of drinking which goes on in our colleges.
EXCUSE ME?!?...what planet are you from?
first to clarify my viewpoint: i'm female and i am in college.
last time i checked in the mirror i was still feminine: my breasts were still there, my hair was long and blonde, my body slender (though i've never dieted), my face pretty...i've even done a bit of modeling (if you dont believe i'm pretty i can ask my fiance, Gary, to send you my pic)...i've also taken ballet, tap, jazz, gymnastics, and one of my majors is equine studies, which includes horseback riding, (the other major is computer science) these activities all require a certain amount of grace which i do possess.
However, i have no plans on being a housewife and i jokingly call myself domestically-challenged for these reasons: i cant sew, i cant clean, i hate vacuum cleaners w/ a passion, and i burn water/pots on a regular basis...
i enjoy doing things such as magic:tg, starcraft, chess, ultimate frisbee, playing w/ computer hardware/software, and animals. if i had to stay home all day i would probably kill myself before a month had passed. Gary does the cooking and cleaning, i keep track of finances...once i am done w/ college i will go at and work and gary will probably retire shortly after and start up his own home-based business. This is because he does not like working for people and I do.
There are tons of people like me and Gary: Men who want to stay home and women who want to work, and there is no reason why they should not be allowed to do as they desire
btw, i do not drink alchohol except on rare occasions nor do the majority of my college friends...the people who do drink all the time tend to get made fun of...drinking isnt a new or isolated thing either, its been going on since before farming. And where are these "pseudo-women" you refer to?...i cant recall any that i've seen recently.
"Your "civilizations" are whorehouses drenched in blood. You may keep them for yourself, I don't want any part of them. "
and what is america,...? every day, people are murdered, raped, abused, neglected, maligned, mistreated, aborted, cheated on, and so forth...and these things arent new nor are they instigated solely by pagans, luciferians, or other "evil" people...
plenty of people who were taught the ten commandments still do very bad things, sometimes they even believe they are doing it FOR "God", (getting rid of those horrible sinners, those blasphemers, etc.)
If a kid refuses to say the pledge of allegience they got rocks thrown through the window and hateful messages by mail and phone from all the "good christians"
the countries listed, and many others, qualify to be called "civilizations" just as much or more as america and the other so-called "christian" nations.
