Transmissions from the Bunker: Send in the Poles
If falsehood, like truth, had but one face, we would be more on equal terms. For we would consider the contrary of what the liar said to be certain. But the opposite of truth has a hundred thousand faces and an infinite field.

You say women don't make sense, and women will say that men don't make sense. We view situations differently. Lines get crossed. If you need to understand someone else's point of view, you need to apply their words and actions to their thinking style. If I wanted to understand you, I'd think in terms of war analogies. Applying those same analogies to someone who doesn't think that way won't work. Your biggest problem is that you don't step outside your own thinking style.
I think I could analyze the situation you mentioned, with the women who has roommate issues, if you explained it without the damn battle references. There's some logic behind it, I'm sure of that, it's just not the sort of logic you use, which is why you're clueless. You started off with seeing her as the "bad" person in this, which was your first mistake; assume neutrality to see her perspective. Hell, from her end, she's doing what she thinks is right. You need to find out what her motivations are. And for cod's sake, PAY ATTENTION!

I am not trying to think like a woman. I am trying to apply the principles of rationality and common decency to the female mind, which, in the examples I have given, has failed. I pass judgment on a situation once I have seen it, heard it, and thought about it. So I can say that objectively, the actions of the girl in the roommate situation were wrong by standards of ethics and common decency. Should you choose to deny these principles, I can see how your points would stand.
Unlike yourself, I do not hold with subjective, shifting scales of right and wrong. Things are good or they are not, to degrees based on the ultimate Truth. So I will not see things from a way other than that, as it is just a way of making excuses for the moral, social, and personal failures. Things are as they are, they have definite rights and wrongs, purposes, and codes to be observed.

Second, in response to the meat of your argument: A) no I don't, B) you deny said reality and decency on a daily basis by your own admission, and C) you proved my point by this, as you have given females their own set of rules and logic under which you are understood, whereas, by normal standards you aren't.
So, despite your pointless, baseless, and just plain wrong assessment of how I view you, thanks for the post and the proof.
