Correct. Otherwise we men would be always telling women are using "that" as a weapon :-)

Pezz obviously thinks that if a woman's price is too high, or she simply doesn't want anything to do with him, he should just get what he wants anyway. I wonder if he knows what the word for that is. What if some woman he finds desirable doesn't want anything to do with him at any price? I suppose he'd call in the troops and do what he wants anyway.

I wonder if people with attitudes like that have trouble with voluntary relationships, which are essentially that between a man and a woman, other than in barbarian rapist instances.

Women are the ones who think of men as bearing weapons and all too frequently, that's true! It must be scary to have oil, and Americans thinking that oil is a weapon. "We are Americans and we've come to disarm you to protect ourselves against you attacking us with your oil".

Get it Pezz? Oil is not a weapon. If somebody doesn't want you to have their oil, even if they form an agreement with others who also have oil, then that doesn't make it a weapon. It just means you are not worth dealing with for some reason.

I don't usually carry on like this on a personal basis, but Pezz seems to like the personal attack style, so I'm happy to oblige - fair trading I guess.
