If the strong harm the weak, the strong become evil, and the weak remain weak. If the strong protect the weak, the strong become good, and the weak become strong.
You remind me of a friend of mine. We had to come up with a new disease name to describe what he had, but he was eventually diagnosed with FIMD. Foot in Mouth Disease.
Co-ed high school wrestling. The girls would always win, either because the boys let them (in order to be caught between their legs) or because the boys would be so distracted they couldn't focus.
I am thouroughly disgusted by your comment, Rev Matt. The girls would win because A: girls are better wrestlers that guys, B: we girls have a higher tolerance of pain. If you guys stub you toe on a chair, you're whining aboot it for the rest of the day. We can break linbs and crack heads open, and we still retain our senses enough to make sure that other people are okay as well. HELLO! Don't come back to this website until you get those sexist comments out of your frickin' head, or so help me, I WILL TRACK YOU DONW WITH MY ARMY OF HOMELESS PEOPLE AND EAT YOUR SOUL!!!!!!!!! MWA HA HA HA HA HA!
i agree with izzy, i've cracked my head open atleast five times, (yeah, i'm reckless, blame the stairs and my moped) broken my arm three times, broke my hand once, dislocated my shoulder, broke my jaw, split my chin open, fractured my shin, and displaced my toes many times . . . not once did i cry or even complain. (I think i'm forgetting something) But neverthe less, i can tolerate pain very much.
There is a third option: The girls are bigger and stronger, and much meaner. This is high school, after all... well, for the first year or two that's an option, at least :)
@ 13, I expect it is not yet high school; however, I expect weight classes would obtain, and at what point would a young lady become quite disinterested in being identified by weight? on the other hand, she's got her rollicking hormones too, and might enjoy a rassle as much as any male opponent...
The Matts have it right, the boys don't stand a chance, the teenage girls are either bigger and meaner or too attractive to be beaten. Actually the only difference between adults and teenagers is that the women are a bit more subtle in their application of their bigger/meaner/too attractive superiority and the men have already worked out that they are beaten.
And can telling it how it is really be a sexist comment?
PS ; Izzy, if you are looking for my soul, you will actually need to track down my ex-wife, she got it in the divorce settlement with everything else.
From my experience? It depends on the weight class. The bigger and heavier the girl is, the less chance she has of winning for whatever reason. And I don't mean it as, like, fatter chicks are ugly and look more like guys or anything like that. I wrestle 189 pounds, and I haven't lost against any of the girls I've wrestled.
I'm a girl and I lift more than the school quarterback (190 lbs.). I'm linemen on the Powderpuff team. I've been asked to be on the football team and I'm a shot putter on the track team........AND I tried out for cheerleading and threw the girl so high she got scared... I'd agree girls are tough...
I've known plenty of very tough girls, and while it is true that females do have a higher pain threshold than males, I see nothing wrong with the Rev's take on why the girls won at his school - if the boys at that school "let" the girls win by being sure to be pinned between their legs OR if they were so distracted they forgot what they were doing, then that was the male reaction to the situation. It matters not if the girls would have won anyway because of their skill, toughness, or meanness. The boys were being boys. Not a sexist comment. I am female, btw, and not particularly tough or mean, but I do have a pretty high pain threshold. Just sayin'. Please don't send your homeless army to eat my soul, izzy. *cowering in fear*
A lot of comments on the likes of "I am a female, I declare myself strong, I declare that I can take the pain very well, I see boys winning, therefore females are stronger and more pain tolerant without doubt" ... Indeed, and that would continue to be fo ever because: "I am male, I declare that it is useless to try to change the mind of my wife (or any other female I have met on some level) with irrelevant trivia like medical studies and other scientific facts". Ok, I count on my wife not knowing that I had said this, also, that it is unlikely that a stronger female reading this would have a chance to find me and kick my man-butt.
I guess I must be getting old. Way back when I was in high school (the mid 80's) the male vs female wrestling was not an official sport and usually occurred in the back seat of a car.
Replace wrestling with Judo, which has always been co-ed. And hey, it can be fun to have your arse whooped by a girl. Just remember to tap-out (yield) before you pass out or have your arm broke.
my proposal, after many years of being beaten at wrestling by my wife, is that she smells amazing up close, is waaaay too soft and wonderful, has a mean scissors-lock, can absolutely kick my ass, and......she is the world's most unforgivable unrepentant tickler ever! i think that last little bit is what puts her over the top everytime...except the fact that my checkered past is finally catching up to my ailing health. any way you slice it, girls rock!

The comic is showing up now, Scott. :-)
EXCELLENT advice! I love how you've shown us an overlapping conversation, as well. Genius.
If the strong harm the weak, the strong become evil, and the weak remain weak. If the strong protect the weak, the strong become good, and the weak become strong.
Ok, antipaganda, but what about the cheesemakers?
such a genius! this is one of my favourites

Oh, Susan, Dr. Rob has already patented* that disease name and has diagnosed many with it.
(*Not actually patented)

"If you guys stub you toe on a chair, you’re whining aboot it for the rest of the day."
How's that not a sexist comment? Learn to take a joke.
@Laminar, I think that was hyperbole, or irony or something. Army of homeless people eating souls smacks of taking a joke.

Knowing that this comic is partly true makes it even more funny :D

I'm so touched that you guys would react to my comic. but i'm still going to eat your souls. Too bad, so sad, get used to it.
why do you think i'm on the run?
comment, comic, whatever
