The Truth is you must be Born Again to enter the Kingdom of God. We got into this 5 senses world by being born into it. Like wise we come into Gods world/Kingdom by being Born into it. The first birth is of the flesh the second birth is of the Spirit. In the first birth we had no say in the second the choice is ours. The first is temporal the second is for ever. In the first a human male is our father in the second The Holy Spirit [GOD] is our Father. Start by obedience to Romans 10:9 &10.

So, I will be glad to see feminists and every woman supporting those feminists, or should I say, unappreciative men bashers, forced into military service, even if they're not ready. Plenty of innocent, young boys were forced to serve their country on the front line. Many died. Some came home, screwed up in the head.

You ladies really should be required to see what horrors men are forced to endure, for your freedom and your lives.

In real warfare, like WW2, men are basically cannonfodder. We're pawns, trying to keep invading armies, like the Nazis from making things worse for the innocent people... which is mostly women and children. Do we get any thanks? No. We get treated like controlling scumbags for something that is completely natural. For women to be the last line of defense, like the queen on a chessboard, protecting the king. Only the king is actually the children of the house. That's how it should be.

If things got really bad, if our population was getting really low, you can be damn sure women and children would be forced as far away from the front line as possible. I don't think anyone would give a damn about equal rights.

This is science-fiction. We need to keep women alive. Even if they insist on making us men, us natural self-sacrificing protectors, feel like total crap for being men. I just don't understand why women today can't show our love and sacrifice proper respect.

See, what bothers me about all of this is what our men died for in WW2 is actually being pissed on. They died to protect most of the innocent women and children here, from possible invading forces.

Women don't seem to understand how important they are in the natural order. They are the nurturers, the protectors and guardian angels basically. Look at the nurses in WW2. They were cherished by most of the men.

Now, women are more likely to get raped than treated like ladies.

Want to stop all future wars? Make the rich pay for it. Anytime there is a war make them pay 91% income tax and 91% inheritance tax. Overnight!, no more war.

We need to add the children of the 1% and require them to fight exclusively on the front line. Let them die first since they get all their families benefit most financially from war and in the past have had to suffer none of the bleeding. Just ask George Bush how much blood he shed during Nam. Yet he started two wars! Draft the rich kids first! Or don't draft anyone.

Jodi Arias and a thousand more like her would end the "terrorist" troubles overnight. (If she really did do it)...lol
