ozzz2002 Moderator Registered: Mon Dec 03 2001 Posts: 20912 Loc: Sydney NSW Australia	The Mayor of the town of Torredonjimeno has decreed that any male citizen found on the streets of his town must pay a penalty of five euros. This policy was designed to free women from domestic shackles and raise awareness of equality between the sexes. However, it seems to be unpopular with both sexes, and the Mayor seems to be on some sort of power trip. What do our FT members think? _________________________ The key to everything is patience.

Women do have power in the home: they shop, they buy their husband's clothes and choose what he will wear each day." Which for me translates as I am too lazy to even shop for my clothes and to choose what I wear each day, it is her job to lay my clothes out for me. Which might account for... Quote: There were two sides of the domestic violence coin, said a father of two. "People talk about domestic violence against women but we suffer serious psychological abuse from our women. Our wives abuse us psychologically in the bedroom. They won't sleep with us, so we have to go to prostitutes." I am not a feminist but comments like this could certainly give me pause for thought. I wouldn't sleep with the MCP either! Edited by sue943 (Sun Oct 05 2003 12:05 PM) _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

Perhaps the Spanish Football League could reschedule all games to Thursdays. _________________________ The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not smashing it.
