"Now, before I go off completely on the sexism that exists in the US (We are the most sexist Western country)"<br><br>Well, I don't know about that one. When my mother went to England, she was surprised by how openly sexist many people there were. They flatly stated that a man doing the same job as a woman should get paid more because he is either providing the main income or supporting a family while the woman is just either providing secondary income or is unmarried. My mom then said something like "Well, what about the man? He may be unmarried too." Then they said something like "Well, uh, he may get married someday." Of course, that was a while ago but still. <p><img src="http://animeinn.hispeed.com/gallery/elhaz/elhaz012.jpg" border=0 height=140 width=140><img src="http://animeinn.hispeed.com/gallery/elhaz/elhaz031.jpg" border=0 height=140 width=140><br><img src="http://animeinn.hispeed.com/gallery/elhaz/elhaz140.jpg" border=0 height=140 width=140><img src="http://animeinn.hispeed.com/gallery/elhaz/elhaz151.jpg" border=0 height=140 width=140><br><br><br><br>Love has many ways of expressing itself.</p><i></i>

I can't really vote. I really can't say she's hot due to the fact I'm a female, but I do not believe she is mean or a beast.<br>I like Ryoko becasue...<br><br>1. She is related to Washu!<br>2. She loves Tenchi from the bottom of her heart<br>3. She's pretty {Washu's prettier though}<br>4. She one tough cookie<br>5. She's funny<br>6. She disses Ayeka<br>7. She's a diva<br>8. She's the most powerful of everyone {besides Tenchi and Washu}<br><br>That's about it. C-ya!<br>Tootles<br> <p>"No one can out-dance evil"-Washu-</p><i></i>

Post subject:  England sexist, well maybe

I don't know, in England now I don't think there are many cases when women are paied less than men just because they are women. I don't think of us a sexist country but we probably are, still we have had a female pirime minister so I don't think England is a particularly sexist country ^_^ <br> <p><HR><CENTER><IMG SRC="http://www.lindenssite.btinternet.co.uk/Images/Sigpic1.jpg"><BR><FONT Size=2> <B>"He is a couple of brain cells short of a pair" - Dominion Tank Police</B><BR><A HREF="http://www.lindenssite.btinternet.co.uk">Visit my Final Fantasy Site</A> ^_^</CENTER></p><i></i>

Saying that Aeka and Ryoko balance each other out is like saying oil and water can live together in the same bucket. <p><CENTER><P ALIGN=CENTER><img src=http://users.adelphia.net/~henheart/images/siggy4.jpg><BR><FONT SIZE="3"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman,Times,New York"><FONT COLOR="BLUE"><i><b>Please</b> .. don't force me to shoot you .. because .. if I do it's gonna really hurt!</i></FONT></FONT></FONT></P></CENTER></p><i></i>

I dont think Tenchi wants the middle ground either....In fact I think he likes Ryoko a bit more then any of the other girls. <p></p><i></i>

What position? Are you saying that Tenchi himself constitutes "the middle ground" between Ryoko & Ayeka. Perhaps so, but that doesn't mean he's looking for a girlfriend who's the same way. <p><center><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/ryoko2.gif" width="73" height="81"><a href="mailto:babelfisherperson@hotmail.com"><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/akaijuyon.gif" width="91" height="20" alt="Red XIV" border="0"></a><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi2.gif" width="63" height="95"><br><br><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi_ryoko_wedding.jpg" width="520" height="348"><br>The REAL Happy Couple</center></p><i></i>

If you're saying that by not coming out and choosing either Ryoko or Ayeka, Tenchi proves that neither of them is what he wants, you're way off base. Choosing the woman you love and want to spend the rest of your life with is a bit more serious than choosing whether to wear the black shirt or the tan one. Tenchi might not consciously realize how he really feels about them, but that doens't mean he's in love with neither girl. And even if he currently isn't in love with either of them, that doesn't mean he wants someone who's a "middle ground" between them. He also doesn't want to hurt people. And I'm NOT saying that he's refraining from choosing because he'd hurt the feelings of the one not chosen. What I'm referring to is that I think he doesn't want to rush in until he's sure how he feels. After all, think of how much it would hurt either Ryoko or Ayeka if Tenchi were to start dating her, and they later broke up.<br><br>Anyway, Tenchi shows plenty of affection to Sasami, but it's always the sort that a big brother has for a little sister. There's nothing romantic about his feelings for her. <p><center><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/ryoko2.gif" width="73" height="81"><a href="mailto:babelfisherperson@hotmail.com"><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/akaijuyon.gif" width="91" height="20" alt="Red XIV" border="0"></a><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi2.gif" width="63" height="95"><br><br><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi_ryoko_wedding.jpg" width="520" height="348"><br>The REAL Happy Couple</center></p><i></i>

Uh, not quite there yet Red. I am not trying to take a position on what Tenchi <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> FEELS</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> or <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> WANTS</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. Tenchi has not made a choice. That is my bone of contention - his choice, not his feelings.<br><br>If he has within him certain feelings, he loves Ryoko and wants to marry her, this is fine and I am going along with that. But if these feelings do exist <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> why does he not act on them??</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. That is what I am contesting, why does he not choose, why does he maintain the middle ground? <p><CENTER><P ALIGN=CENTER><img src=http://users.adelphia.net/~henheart/images/siggy4.jpg><BR><FONT SIZE="3"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman,Times,New York"><FONT COLOR="BLUE"><i><b>Please</b> .. don't force me to shoot you .. because .. if I do it's gonna really hurt!</i></FONT></FONT></FONT></P></CENTER></p><i></i>

Post subject:  Re: Who thinks Ryoko is a stupid whore

I already answered that. Because he's not sure how he feels yet. And picking a girl then breaking up with her would hurt her far more than making her wait or even not picking her at all. Like I said, this decision is a bit more substantial that what you're going to wear or what you're going to eat for lunch or something. <p><center><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/ryoko2.gif" width="73" height="81"><a href="mailto:babelfisherperson@hotmail.com"><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/akaijuyon.gif" width="91" height="20" alt="Red XIV" border="0"></a><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi2.gif" width="63" height="95"><br><br><img src="http://img2.ranchoweb.com/images/redxiv/tenchi_ryoko_wedding.jpg" width="520" height="348"><br>The REAL Happy Couple</center></p><i></i>

Post subject:  Re: Who thinks Ryoko is a stupid whore

Yup, it sure is a tough decision and it is best to get everything sorted out first. So I guess for now the middle ground is the best he can do. He can't stay there forever though, because the show will start to suffer (dragging it out) if Tenchi doesn't start to show some movement in some direction. <p><CENTER><P ALIGN=CENTER><img src=http://users.adelphia.net/~henheart/images/siggy4.jpg><BR><FONT SIZE="3"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman,Times,New York"><FONT COLOR="BLUE"><i><b>Please</b> .. don't force me to shoot you .. because .. if I do it's gonna really hurt!</i></FONT></FONT></FONT></P></CENTER></p><i></i>
