that looks almost fun- it also reminds me of Dick Chenney for some reason.

[whowantsabighug]

rather live in ancient times, at least they had better doctors

Renascence water boarding

Tony, I love you but you do not make a very pretty woman.

[LordAzanko]

@whowantsabighug depends where and what time period because if its ancient india or rome your fine but if your in the dark ages or high middle ages good luck there lol

@IwillKillYourCereal Night and Day, as in Anubis and Ra? Believe me, I know what it means. It means a man getting murdered by his wife and the bitch walking off the stand--or he can be an indentured slave, like my father at the behest of my mother. Death for the man, Life for the woman. That is this "equality" you speak of. God knows the women are dishonest sorts and divorce overwhelmingly because they have no loyalty without fathers. It's factual. Look it up.

[IwillKillYourCereal]

@EvilsOfFeminism Obviously men and women are as different as night and day. I meant that in ancient Egypt women and men were nearly equal in terms of employment opportunities, claiming inheritance, and being able to get married/divorced.

@EvilsOfFeminism That is one emperor among many during Rome's 800 years of empire. The religious massacres of the Christians persisted through many popes, kings, archbishops & others lasting about 1,000 years. The 4th century C.E. was pretty much the swan-song for the Roman empire.

[EvilsOfFeminism]

@mmedefarge That's not true. Constantine at the council of Nicea in 343 AD ordered all the true Christians beheaded and enforced Sunday worship instead of the true sabbath from Friday sundown through Saturday sundown. You could be any religion you wanted, so long as you didn't follow Jesus. Little has changed, as we can see from the mess Christian churches are in today, as his most ancient tyranny still prevails.

[EvilsOfFeminism]

@IwillKillYourCereal Yes, all hail the eye of Horus...it just figures that feminist interests necessarily lead to the devil. Heck, I am of the opposite opinion: feminist tripe damages this otherwise good show. It was used on men and women who were disruptive. Even 500 years ago, the women tended to be disruptive individuals, and ill-behaved. Sound familiar? How in the hell you all got the "women equal to men" nonsense out of that is beyond me. How are two different things equal?

[IwillKillYourCereal]

@whowantsabighug And in ancient Egypt, women were nearly equal to men :)

[nickel924]

@marochima2 the royal crap surgeons, yes, they were butchers... but the 'witch doctors' actually knew what they were talking about... the women of the village that collected herbs, and fixed remedies that actually worked... their better then a lot of doctors nowadays...

[shcnoozlebop]

being dunked doesn't look like much of a punishment lol but it would've pissed off someone who's already angry about everything

[Strawberrykisses218]

"yeah im corrected" HAHA

[DrD0000M]

Notice it was a woman leader that increased the punishments against women.

[whowantsabighug]

@marochima2 Miles better than medieval medicine, and plus that comment was meant to be taken with a pinch of salt.

[marochima2]

@whowantsabighug what do you mean? they were butchers not doctors

[8malevolent8]

Consider the fact that no-one drank water in Tudor times unless they had a death-wish. Imagine a world in which everyone was drinking beer and probably half-drunk all the time, and now look at this punishment: this is the sort of thing that seems logical to someone who's pissed ( that's in the UK sense of ' drunk' rather than the US 'angry'). The whole village would be there, half-cut and laughing, men as well as women. Also remember that there were punishments for brutal husbands as well.

[yock1000]

@lisaannejane2 more than any woman in the history of the world? you must have a hell of a bunch of mates!

[yock1000]

@lisaannejane2 hahaha like as in any woman in the history of the world ? you've got a hell of a bunch of mates ill tell you that much!

[lisaannejane2]

@Kamikuru77 I know a lot of men who deserve this far more than any woman.

[Kamikuru77]

I know plenty of ditzy women that need this, they need to bring back this punishment! For the good of men everywhere.

[mrLizarda]

that would actually be fun LOL

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

ooo poor tony.

[longfootbuddy]

i know a woman that needs this

[Jcolinsol]

Hhm, I'm wondering if this "ducking" business isn't an imprint of their early experiences being baptized. Don't you think it's an interesting parallel?

[Jcolinsol]

@guysmiley00

No, no, no, they would have warmed his icy heart with a hot island beat.
