And sorry girls, but

However, if you look at pictures of female athletes who play sports or observe them on the playing fields, you will notice that many develop strong, muscular bodies. Female athletes also sneer, wince, push, and fight just like the men. I notice these things all the time in pictures in our hometown newspaper. The sneers are most obvious; they make young women very unfeminine. The masculine uniforms and sweaty bodies aren’t very attractive, either.
[...]
I propose that sports greatly hinders the development of godly, Biblical, feminine character. Parents today expend extraordinary amounts of time and energy taking their daughters from one sports event to another, week after week, even to the point where it exhausts the family and family resources. The fruits we see are that today’s Christian women are often ill-prepared to be Biblically obedient wives and mothers.

I also notice when driving by our public school grounds and sports fields another phenomenon taking place: the young girls are trained in sports right along with the boys. To me, this can only be degrading to the boys. In some cases, girls regularly participate on boys' sports teams, and therefore compete against the boys themselves. During the past decade, more and more girls participated in wrestling; since there were no girls' wrestling teams, they joined the boys' teams and competed against the boys. I read about one school where the boys refused to wrestle the girls and forfeited their matches; there could be no greater embarrassment to them than to lose to a girl, not to mention it likely violated their sense of masculine chivalry. So not only is female sports participation degrading the feminine nature of women, in many cases it degrades the developing masculinity in boys.

In other words shooting male players turns them gay

Ive not read much about taoism, do you recommend anything?

Ive looked briefly at Bokonism thats a very interesting religion.

Heres a really nice verse that I think says alot about nature:

Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand."

The idea of controlled anarchy leading from a lack of rules yet a total understanding of the world around you... was quite appealing to myself a few years ago (although the above statement makes no sense for various reasons); I spent some time trawling t'internet reading things on it, and even collected a book or two in the process...

To the point where I decorated my room with some of the below things: pic 1 is painted on and has a diameter of about 3 1/2'; pic 2 is a number of quotation cards all taken from 'the art of war' all stuck on a wall; and pic 3 is my personal favourite of the cards

Out of the major religions, I think the Buddhists have got it right. No gods, just the Bill and Ted "Be excellent to each other" approach. Save for the reincarnation bit.
