How do the rankings change?

AA, love your bod, but this isn't the recipe for dating success at BYU. Unless you want to marry a member of VOICE.

Nobody who knows me at all would ever accuse me of cowardice when it comes to the way women are raised and treated.

Don't assume that I am sexist just because I think your argument sucks.

Yet here you slide into being slavish and devensive as any mullah when the culture is critiqued, to say nothing of your weakness for tawdry apologetics. Waters nailed you. Cut you to the quick. This inner tension couldn't persist in anyone for a lifetime. Someday you'll be found running down a beach naked or the like. It's the most tightly wound ones who crack most spectacularly.

Once again, I'd be thrilled to have all of my debate opponents "nail" me as well as Waters did. I'd never lose an argument.

As for the rest of the dribble you've thrown out here, I'll make you a deal. Post a poll. Ask if I "slide into being slavish and devensive as any mullah when the culture is critiqued," or if I show a "weakness for tawdry apologetics." If even a mere quarter of respondents to agree with you, I'll leave. You'll never have to wade through my slavish defense of tawdry apologetics again.

They won't, of course, because with but a few exceptions, most people here recognize that you're full of crap. There's nary a shred of substance to either your accusation or Mike's.

Only on cougarguard can a thread about football rankings turn into an argument about Mormon academic apologetics.

Meh, you didn't start it. SU instigated. Not a big deal, just having some fun.
