   I'm afraid that's not significant either, since we have   
   shown in numerous occassions that it takes only little   
   pressure to make us go back doing them again. And when   
   we do, we are constantly far worse then any of those   
   "barbarians" we so enjoy to despise. Hypocrisy is so   
   far the only true heritage of your White Male Patriarchy.   
      
   But maybe the females will have more success...
