Cainehill, þe Divine herself had seen no such malice in my innocent words; as such, thou can only be wishing for discorde within þe peaceful Arrynesque Order of Priests and Assorted Minions. Consequently, thou art hereby declared a suspicious fellow, and þe wisdom of þe Silvery Lady shall measure thy worth.

NTJedi, may I offer my services for your funerals? Such words can only bring the wrath of the Lady upon your shoulders, and once it does, you will realise the errors of your ways. Believe me, I happen to have made the same mistake of offending Arryn, and have been rewarded with a virtually eternal office as "faithful minion, with eventual promotions as pet or even sidekick".

Incidentally, does anyone know which one of "shalth" and "shalst" go for "you" and "it"? Or was it another form for "it"? Google cannot find an answer here.

Just stating some facts. My air and forest domes have been casted too.

ehh, rationality is in such short supply that I doubt we have a sufficient sample size to determine it's relative apportionment between the male and the female of the species.

If men were more irrational then many inventions throughout time would be by women instead of men.

Isn't it sort of hard for women to have invented anything since for thousands of years (until the advent of ladies like Madame Curie), women have been forced (by men) to spend all their time in the kitchen, in bed, or tending other such "womenly" chores, and deprived of formal education? Do you happen to see the irrationality of such traditions and policies? Perhaps not. You are, after all, just a male. Your fragile male ego would rebel at being told that women do better in academia than men.

What men excel at is inventing (and using) war toys. Oh, and erecting monuments to their vanity. (Which I find amusing, since men think women are vain, and not without good reason.)

His dome of air is in reality smog. I'll decline to mention what residue comprises his "forest dome". Suffice to say it is often found in the wake of cavalry.

Not true. Rational people avoid politics and pollsters like the plague. And women are too busy with the important things in life to waste time answering silly questions. This perfectly accounts for the skewed statistics.

EDIT: important things like shopping or getting a facial, etc.

Ahhh Arryn, you saw me coming and headed my comment off at the pass. While men are indeed more violent than women it all seems extremely rational to me. We wage war and commit violence upon one another because we want what others have and (often mistakenly) believe our lives will be better if we try to take it by force, women on the other hand often seem content to live in silent misery themselves before attempting to assert their wills on others using force. Men are often stupider than women, but its comprehensible stupidity due to hubris.

To me the subjugation of women throughout the greater part of human history makes perfect sense... Who doesn't have a part of them that would greatly enjoy having total control over members of the opposite sex? Without the social morality that's now (hopefully) instilled in us at an early age and the existence of efficient means of disseminating information on how truly brutal said subjugation becomes in actual practice it would be alot easier for those with the power to oppress others to justify the oppression. It makes perfect sense to me although hopefully I'd be intelligent and empathetic enough not to do the same thing were i put in that position.

I think we are geting more and more off-topic here, into the foggy realm of feminism and antifeminism... My point was that no matter was that bloodslave "he", "she", or "it" - that human was a hero, and has earned the right to be recognised by his God. Anybody objects to this statement? >

[Zen]

I believe that most blood slaves are female for only the reason that you evicerate them, pour their blood onto a pyre or brazier and chant at it until something big, ugly, and built for killing happens to wander over with a cartoonlike waft of the smoke and pledges it's undying service to you.

Seems to fit both ideals to me.
