    i feel we are
    since all humans have done for the planet is kill it
    we will be remembered more for what we destroy than what we make

    "only when we destroy this planet will we be given a new one"

    there's no one to give us a new planet. seriously, the people who stay behind in the decay and destruction will have it better off than the people travelling to a new planet because the same thing will happen to the old planet. perhaps the people here, after all hell has reeked it's havoc, will be able to pull it together and recreate the beauty of paradise on this planet. it seems to me that it would be better to live like savages than to live like technologically dependent, genetically altered, electrical outlets.

    The entire aregument about the smarter gender can be summed up in the ancient political views during the time of Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. During that time, they believed that certain things were rational and considered better than others. They beleived then that irrational beings were lesser than the rational ones. Woman, slaves, and animals were among those considered irrational. Now, even Socrates understood that there can be a clever slave with a dumb master, and so there is an exeption to every rule, but in general, because of women-folk's leaning toward the emotional side of intelligence, they became less rational. So, since men dominated the world, and woman were submittant (or something like that), woman simply had no reason to learn until recently.

    When men went out to fight the world wars, women got a taste of the freedom of working and learning that had been withheld from them for centuries. When men came back, there was no way we were going to give that back up and pretend it never happened. So we revolted. Now, men saw that women are just as capable as men are at many things, intellectually and otherwise. But, we still have a lot of ground to cover to completely create and equal balance between men and women because of the tradition that has been drilled into our heads by history and society.

    In the past, men were more intelligent because they were allowed to be educated. Now, men are still slightly more probably because there is still an imbalance. But just think how quickly woman have gotten since we were able to be educated! We learn much quicker and have immense capability. It won't be long until women surpase men in the intelligence sector.

    [Note: About the whole child bearing argument, that really doesn't have anything to do with intelligence, but it does play a vital role in the continuation of humanity. While I could argue that woman really only need to harvest men for their sperm and we could keep them in some underground breeding chamber; men could also argue that they could create test-tube babies... However, I've noticed that in general, men seem to have a NEED for the act of intercourse than women do. Or at least, we are much better at ignoring that need. So, if women wanted to control the world, all we would have to do is go on a world-wide sex strike. Men would either be forced to submit, or lotion and blow-up doll sales would go up ten-fold.

    I'd say that both sexes are equally as ignorant when they allow the destruction of the earths environment, resourses and extinction of millions of its animal species.

    i agree with cosmictraveler. i don't think either is the more intelligent sex, there may be more cunning members of each, but we still have the same problems with each. stupid people rule both sides so it doesn't really make much of a difference.

    Sex is very important, its just that us humans are quite good at ignoring biological urges, look at the number of women who put off children for careers. Or dont want to breastfeed, despite the clear advantages for everything from immune system to good nutriction. Is there any manufactured milk that is as good in every way as mothers milk? And as easily and cheaply available?

    there is a difference between being wrong and being ignorant.
    when someone is ignorant they can never become right on those things they have wrong.

    the paternal bonding of the mother to the baby through breast feeding is now seen to be as important as the anti bodies that are transfered.
    science is still a way off replicating such things.
    the decline in breast feeding could be a clear bumper for current health and disease explosions.
    what is intellegence .... ?
    how clever are women that they compensated by becoming more emotionaly orientated as more and more men were trained to have no emotions to be the ideal soldier.
    the gap is equal as is the share of blame because blame has no effect on the cure.

    Just for the record, a lot of women say that men are dumb and stubborn. The same way men say these things about women.

    Men are physically and logically oriented. Women are emotionally oriented. Men will strike with their fists. Women will strike with their words.

    Men get madder. There are more men that have anger management problems, thanks to our testosterone. Women get sadder. The vast majority of anorexic or bulimic people are women.

    Men are protective. Women are care-giving.

    Men have two heads, but only enough blood to power one at a time (I think Woody Allen said that). Therefore, their sexual urges are stronger. Women don't have this problem.

    It's not so easy to give a label of "Smartest Sex" to either. They both specialize in different fields of intelligence. So there!

    Btw, I realize that those were all stereotypes, and that there are exceptions to these generalizations. But that's what they are - generalizations.

    Bull. Have you ever seen girls fight and stab with broken beer bottles?

    Bull. How can you be care-giving and not protective? Lack of protection makes "care" something useless. How can you be protective without caring?

    Have pity on your girls....

    Again Truthseeker....just because you have a horribly eskewed view of a certain gender does not make generalizations true.

    You seem to think every man is a blotch on society with the exception of you, so your view will be biased.

    Unless you have met 2.9 billion males that inhabit this Earth those statements will remain generalizations

    Generalizations!? Man... men were MADE like this. Women were made to have a kid every 9 months and have the chance only once every month! Men were made to have a kid every 5 minutes or whatever long it takes, and men is ready to do it every second! It is OBVIOUS that men have a much more sexually driven life, which also makes us naturally more agressive! Those are not generaliztions, it is just obvious consequences of our biological structure....

    Oh yeah, sure... I represent 5% of mankind...

    Have you ever studied statistics? You don`t need to know all the population in order to make such a truth statement. I have met enough men to say that 95% of them are like that. And that makes a lot of sense when you consider the biological structure of our species.

    What backwards developed country do you live in? Are you being sarcastic? I certainly hope so.

    Quality not quantity.

    No, these are gender roles staring right in your face. Women get just as horny and are just as aggressive. The fact that you see men constantly ready to go and not women is because this is the norm expected from males and females. Men pride themselves in being sexually aggressive and women, only of late. have begun doing this too.

    Man sleeps around = Fulfilling his intrinsic desire to spread his seed....it is expected

    Woman sleeps around = She is a slut, whore, skank etc etc etc :rollseyes:

    see?....these gender roles and expected behavioral patterns, as outdated as they may be, influence every aspect of our lives.

    A woman was never allowed to explore her aggresive sexual side in societies of any developing nations due to large spread ideology like yours...."women only exist to bake the bread in the oven".

    No you represent the 5% of the unconfident kind who blames his lack of male appeal on other "jerk" males.
