The control to spare a life, even knowing you are not in the wrong, is greater than taking that life. It makes you stronger to spare that life.

So tell me,is there ever a

certain gender ascribed

to such a thing?

[baaaaseball]

As far as I've seen, no.

Males may be more ascribed to violence, but when it comes to a matter like this, choosing life or death, it really does not have a gender stuck to it.

I think people have a tendency to think of it in male terms though, simply because we do fight more.

[hugmyscythe]

If letting one liveis a show of strengthand perhaps compassion and pity,would you then associate itwith a certain gender?

[baaaaseball]

Hmm, if you want to put it that way, let's see..

Strength is associated with males.

Compassion is associated with females.

Pity is from one human to another, regardless of gender.

So when you think of it like that, it really does come up as gender neutral. Both men and woman can spare a life.

[hugmyscythe]

Equally strong, equallyweak, I suppose.

[baaaaseball]

That's a good way to think of it.

[hugmyscythe]

Of course,not everyone thinksof that as the same. [ 'specially some on this community. ]

Different folks, different strokes. People just forget sometimes that despite our differences, men and women are still equal. If just in different ways.

An apple and an orange don't taste the same. And can't always be used the same way as ingredients. But both are still fruit.

And when eaten together, are absolutely delicious~!

[hugmyscythe]

...I do notneed to eat.

[baaaaseball]

Not even for recreation?

[hugmyscythe]

Recreation is nota need.

[baaaaseball]

Sure it is! Everyone needs to have fun sometimes. It may not be say, entirely essential for living and breathing, but I'm sure we wouldn't function half as well without it.

[hugmyscythe]

Then it is simplythat I do not consider eatingas recreationor need.

[baaaaseball]

Not even if it was a delicious chocolate sundae with strawberries and whipped cream on top?

[hugmyscythe]

THEY ARE AMAZING! A PERFECT BLEND OF SWEETNESS AND TARTS, ALMOST TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, A GIFT FROM HEAVEN ITSELF! GUYS WILL FIGHT FOR IT! GIRLS WILL BREAK THEIR DIETS FOR IT! DOGS AND CATS WILL EVOLVE THUMBS AND CAPABLE INTESTINES JUST FOR THE CHANCE TO TASTE IT!

WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!

That's why.

[hugmyscythe]

I pass, I pass.

[baaaaseball]

Oh fine. More for me then!

[hugmyscythe]

You may always choosesomeone else to sharethat with.

[baaaaseball]

I have plenty of people to share something like that with. I just think everyone who hasn't had it should get a chance to try it.

One should always take every opportunity to try something new. Whether they like it or not is a different matter.

[hugmyscythe]

Yes, yes.Try eating a rotting orangeand see if youlike it.

[baaaaseball]

Masato did that once. Poor guy was in bed for three days.
