I think where our lines are getting crossed is yours is an American perspective and mine a British one.

That's Bullshit. I'm British too and I share a similar mindset to Gaffer. (Although he can express it better than I can)

Damn, "You Just Don't Understand My Cultural Perspective" card fail. ;)

Hey It's Me, I don't think any lines are being crossed, but I do think you keep missing the points Gaffer is trying to make by a hair or two.

Example:

Hey, it's me. said:

What I'm trying to convey is that not every character conforms to the sexist stereotype your alluding to. If you grow up and mature into an adult and are convinced through so called brainwashing as a child that women are weak and only care about flowers and shit then your a weak minded fool. Women are mentally and emotionally stronger than men are and that is a widely held belief in the UK. So bearing THAT in mind, what are you trying to say?

One time when I was kind of young I was helping my grandfather put in a sprinkling system. I was in the market for a new BB gun at the time, and earlier in the day he had been explaining to me that a longer barrel means your BBs will go farther.

Hours later, we are digging holes in the back yard and installing sprinklers. I asked him another question about BB guns regarding barrel length and distance, and he responds that that really has no bearing on the distance and that how far it sprays is determined by the water pressure more than anything else. At this point, I was talking BB guns and he was talking sprinklers.

This conversation keeps reminding me of that.

Much like my little childhood story I just shared, the above quote from you has practically zero connection to anything Gaffer has posted, unless I missed a post or two of his.
