Hmmm, thats sexist unless you can back it up with proof...8O:cool::angryfire::canada:
lol Smoking began as early as 5000–3000 BC.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_smoking#cite_note-Gateley2004-0 Many civilizations burnt substances during religious rituals and the practise was later adopted for pleasure or as a social tool. Now, as the vast majority of religions were patriarchal, it's pretty evident that the religious rituals were performed by men.

It would have been better if you had provided a likk to a reputable site such as wikipedia: Smoking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , however on behalf of all men, I'll hang my head...

I guess you could interpret their behaviour as gloating, but I thought it was more like celebrating a victory. I saw more lack of sportsmanship in the U.S. team's collective behaviour...they looked like a bunch of poor losers, in spite of the fact that they won a silver medal.

.

What do you expect for them to do? Do cart wheels for Team Canada? Do you expect them not to be sad?

Getting a medal at all would seem to me to be worth a "WOOT!", let alone second best medal.

So your better than us in hockey. No surprise there.
Out of all the people you guys get to choose athletes from in comparison to us, I think it's pretty good. :) How many hockey teams do you guys have? 24 out of the 30 pro teams? lol

No, not cart wheels. And I think winning silver isn't a bad deal, but they looked (to me) like someone just ran over their puppy. I think they could have looked a bit more "not so sad" but I'm not a hockey player so maybe I don't take it as seriously as I should. :-|

And with the nice comments the pres. of the IOC made about women's hockey, I guess the only 2 medals that count are gold and silver...apparently the other countries can't be seriously involved. So maybe it was just between the 2 countries and thus, the U.S. team would consider themselves to be "the losers", vs. the winners of the silver. I don't - I still they won second place and silver is not that bad a color. Besides, with a 2-0 score, I don't think it could be considered a crushing defeat anyway. A "nice tight game" would sum it up for me.

And just for the record, I ain't no "America basher"...just commenting on a hockey match.

Native elders puff away on ceremonial pipe sometimes. I don't see teen natives taking the practise up. And if anyone should get praise and acquire admirers, it's the elders for their wisdom. lol

So far, your posts make sense to me. :)

I don't know why they do, but i take it. Anyways elders get respect when they can show me they earn it, plus there old enough to puff..

And just because I don't see gods doesn't mean there aren't any? lol

I try to make my post easy and get to the point as best as possible. So you understand me better.

LOL, in my experience, pimples always disappear....

Really now you want to check the mirror? 8O
