There was this guy (I won't call his name) who was at a party with a Cadet.He asked her what he played and she said cymbals.He said-and I quote-"JUST CYMBALS?"<P>She smacked him.

hahahahahahahaha........was it you, david? you had a bad date with a cadet? hahahahaha. thats why you wont call the name, isnt it? too many harsh memories......<P>oh, hey you guys today at clarksville at our last game i went to pick up my tenors and i heard their band like "hahaha! a girl tenor player! haha!" hmmmmmm....... <P>lets just say i did some butt kicking tonight. our performance was absolutely awesome........and THEIR cymbal player came to tell us we were great.......heeheehee

No,drummerwoman,it was not me.It would not be a good move to call this guy's name,and I don't need any problems right now.Besides,like most men,I was raised to never hit a woman under any circumstances.He kicked her [b]butt[/b],from what I heard.Then again,hitting is illegal...so they were both wrong,I guess.

Whoops!I wasn't supposed to type out the "A" word.Sorry,General.

He beat her up for smacking him????????? Who is this guy? Ill give him something to hit a girl for........and it wont be a smack. He has no honor whatsoever........<P>ugh.....that disgusts me!!<P> [img]http://www.drumlines.org/ubb/smilies/cwm23.gif[/img] [img]http://www.drumlines.org/ubb/smilies/cwm23.gif[/img] [img]http://www.drumlines.org/ubb/smilies/cwm23.gif[/img] [img]http://www.drumlines.org/ubb/smilies/cwm23.gif[/img] [img]http://www.drumlines.org/ubb/smilies/cwm23.gif[/img] [img]http://www.drumlines.org/ubb/smilies/cwm23.gif[/img] <P>------------------<BR>I am drummer woman........hear me RRRROOOOOOLLLLL!!!

I see what you mean,drummergirl.But personally,I figure you have the right to defend yourself.Let's just say that some family members of mine were hurt,and I was totally powerless to do anything about it.That experience made me a mean S.O.B.(some of the time.)It's not fair for anybody to be beaten,abused,dehumanized,degraded,whatever.<BR>It goes against everything I believe in.<P>Bottom line:You physically hurt me or my family,male or female,I'll KILL your [b]butt[/b].<BR>Okay,I'm off the soapbox now.

hmmmm im just gonna make a little comment on this type thing...<P>ok, if a girl or woman hits you, you have all the right to hit her back, see woman have always strived for a more equal world, and i believe this works in the same case...if a girl punches yoiu in yourstomach, i think you can do the same back, maybe not in such a powerful way, but still, i think you have all the right to strike back if needbe.<P>but anyways, i laugh at your buddy their...he deserved that smack <P>------------------<BR>-Kevin<BR><B>NHS Percussion</B><BR> <A HREF="http://www.drumlines.org/nhsdrums" TARGET=_blank>www.drumlines.org/nhsdrums</A> <BR> punk@drumlines.org

even though i may agree with that i will say that it is still wrong because i know about 20 girls that i would be afraid to hit. Not to mention that a couple of weeks ago there was a fight at my school between 2 girls and the one shattered a glass bottle over the other one's eye. blood everywhere. but i dont think its right when the female gender complains about not having equal this or equal that but they (not all dont get mad at me) complain if a guy wont help them (as an example it isnt fair for a good male basketball player to play a game against a good female. people would complain that that isnt fair because the man would have the advantage)<BR>anyway... enough of that<BR>

Thanks for the endorsement,guys.I remember when I was 21 and someone said men are bigger and stronder,therefore a man and woman isn't a fair fight.I said,"Okay,that makes sense."But when people said you just don't hit a woman and wouldn't give me a reason that made sense I said,"What the #$%k?"I;ll follow a rule if I understand what's behind it.It's when you say because I said so or you just don't that I have a problem.Were any of y'all like that?<P>By the way,I made this an earlier post-how do you do the cymbal grip?

Okay, boys lemme give ya a little insight into this hitting a girl thing.<P>first of all, yes I know women strive for equal rights and all, but really that shouldnt have anything to do with anything. You guys know that everything we strive for we should be getting already. We're human too........voting.......political offices........ability to be in drumline.........(heehee-had to put that in there) etc, etc<P>Secondly, I dont think its right to hit anyone.........not just girls.........ANYONE. Thats just my own personal opinion. i think problems can be solved many other ways without violence.<P>Now to hitting a girl:<P>Physically:<BR>Guys, think about it. Youknow youre stronger. Its all because you have testosterone and we have estrogen. its a fact of life. Furthermore, we have babies. and our organs can be damaged very easily. Just because of that fact of life you shouldnt want to hit us. We're physically weaker (yeah.....there are exceptions, but thin generally). If you hit us in the stomach we have a chance of becoming infertile whereas you will just say "ugh.' and get on with it.<P>Morally:<BR>Isnt your mother a girl? How about your girlfriend? When you date a girl do you treat her just like one of the guys? No---you show her respect and try to be a gentlemen. You wouldnt punch her or anything. Thats just not very manly. So why are you gonna sit there and treat a select few with respect and otheres with none? <P>In conclusion, id just like to say that you dont have to feel the same way I do. If you think hitting a girl is just fine and dandy, then go right ahead. Im not gonna even try to change you. But lemme tell you........theres no way youd be husband material to me (and from what i hear.......there are a lot of men who wouldnt mind being my husband.....heeheehee........sorry for those who arent inthe chiefs club.....youre left out) <P>Its just not chivalrous.<P> <P>------------------<BR>I am drummer woman........hear me RRRROOOOOOLLLLL!!!
