Gbola5: I know all this. Im asking how you came to know them, since you're show only, and non of them are in or have been mentioned. Another game of thrones forum. A book reader used it as a point that the freys are d1ck riders for favour. No honor or code. I think robb's mom tried to warn him too. |

Gbola5: He was. Though he didnt have the better army when he went campaigning(some 20,000 out of the North's 40,000-50,000) . Quality beats Quantity in this case. So, in your opinion, did Tywin stand a chance against robb as at the time of the red wedding? And why do you think so? |

BraniacX: Wrong @ the bolded, at that point in time, he stood a better chance at victory than rob stark, tywin only made one mistake, he thought rob a greenhorn despite the many seasoned campaigners he had among his bannermen and dismissed him, he deeply regretted that afterward, tywin was playing a waiting game because rob had the only thing tywin valued as much as his family name and that was jamie his son, true they supposedly had both stark girls but to tywin and even to rob their brother, they didn't have same negotiating value. With jamie as his prisoner, rob went ahead and bled lannister armies until only tywins main force at harrenhal(which later went to kingslanding at the battle of the blackwater) was large enough and strong enough to face rob, but tywin couldn't or didn't face rob because he couldn't predict rob and had come to respect him as an adversarý besides he i think had come to realise that rob would be more easily vanquished away from the battle field and he was right, he looked for the chink in robs northern ranks and found a ready made one in the far reaching roose bolton who deliberately orchestrated many losses of northern forces (mostly soldiers of other northern houses) when rob garrisoned him against tywin at harrenhal and went west to ravage the western kingdom of the lannisters and this and i think with tywin's connivance and this much was evidenced during boltons journey from harrenhal to the twins to attend the wedding where he tactfully betrayed non bolton northern troops by ferrying his troops across first and leaving the rest to be massacred in an ambush led by gregor clegane the mountain and rob stark didn't help matters much by beheading rickard karstark his bannerman to whom half his army owed their primary fealty and loyalty causing the loss of half his fighting forces. Am not much of a reader, sorry, didn't read all that. Don't forget that robb wasn't fighting for the iron throne. The Lannisters could barely get by the Baratheons if not for tyrion's genius and robb had a better army. Was robb not also termed a master planner? Seriously though, a lot of game of thrones forums online say the same. |

Gbola5: How do you know this, if it hasn't been said on the show ? Its not mostly Targs though, the Frey's name their kids after a member of any house they want to curry favour from. Just two Freys are known to have Targ names. You know I haven't read the books, but just going by what you book fans know since this price of info is actually useless to the show. -Aegon Frey, also known as Jinglebell -Aenys Frey -Aegon Frey, an outlaw named Aegon Blood born -Rhaegar Frey, a pie -Ser Aemon Rivers, a bastard shows at least 5 freys named after Targs. |

Gbola5: Tywin was smart alright, but he didnt plan the wedding. The twelfth son of Walder Frey, Lothar and Roose Bolton did, Tywin only gave them a thumbs up and a go ahead, also a promise from the crown that they would not be persecuted and instead offered rewards. It was Walder's idea to sew Greywind's head unto Robb's. Walder Frey is a peevish old man who lives to handle his young wife and brood over all the slights he's suffered. I have no doubt he hatched this ugly chicken, but he would never have dared such a thing without a promise of protection.~Tyrion.
Tywin's plan was to be an arrow or poison. He planned to get rid of Robb through political manuevering since he couldn't defeat him on the battlefield. That's were he can be considered smart, but don't give credit for the wedding. What Frey is named after a Lannister ? Edited it. Brain fart I guess. I think Tywin deserves more than 50% credit for the red wedding because he gained more and lost less. He was able to take out his greatest opponent he stood no chance against, and also distance himself from possible fallout in just one stroke of genius. |

simdam500: I'm a newbie here and I just started the series some weeks back, though I didn't like it at first but I finally did. I'll be starting Season 4 soon and it hurt to loose Robb and Cat to that Lord fray just because he didn't pay his debt of marrying one of his daughters, that is not even the scary part but killing his pregnant wife 
Reading the thread have spoilt a lot for me but I'll keep going on.
About the book, I'll read it when it comes my way... great series!
Are u guys saying season 6 will be starting next year 2016 If that is true I better hmmmmmmm The red wedding just shows you how genius Tywin actually is. The red wedding happened because Tywin Lannister wanted it to happen. But the freys agreed to it because of what Robb did. The Boltons agreed because they are treacherous bastards. It was easy for Tywin to convince walder [s]because the freys are like Lannister wannabes. They even name their children after Lannisters children.[/s] because of what Robb did to him. Now, I say Tywin is a genius because here you are blaming walder Frey when it was all tywin's doing. Edited** They were named after famous ppl in Westeros, mostly targaryens, not Lannisters |

gmyguy: To find the black box and investigate the cause of the crash. So as to see how to improve air safety for those of us potential customers The black box data will still be recoverable but it might not be locatable. This is because the beacon runs in batteries that last 24hrs or so and has a short detection range. That means unless the black box is located physically by luck, finding it is almost impossible. |

Gurgle: I used the man and wife point as an example. Anywhere where a man and woman are concerned, the same issue will arise
I don't see how its not a feminist point. I didn't say men and women need to do exactly the same thing for each other, just that they are equal.
Submission to a man doesn't mean that a woman is not equal to him. And not submitting to a woman doesn't mean the man is better than she is Actually, it does. sub·mit/səbˈmit/ verb 1. accept or yield to a superior force or to the authority or will of another person.2. present (a proposal, application, or other document) to a person or body for consideration or judgment. You only submit to someone of superior force or authority. |

From your tone it doesn't seem like youre open to this debate so lets just agree to disagree You Provided it as a point to prove the bible was feminist and I am saying that if you can't say the same to a man, then it isn't a feminist point. That aside, all your points were for man and wife relationship. They weren't points of feminism. |

Husbands, love your wives as yourself. (and wives submit to your husbands)
If a man were really to love a woman that much, would he want to stop her from achieving her full potential in this world?
We can extrapolate all the info we need. That's why Scripture is always timeless 1. Has nothing to do with feminism 2. Will you tell a man to be submissive to his wife too? Don't you know what it means to submit to someone? 3. Yeah, what about a woman that is not his wife? Does feminism apply to your wife alone? And please don't quote "love your neighbours as yourself" 4. The new testament doesn't address the issue head-on. Don't try to bend words to suit your argument. |

passey: "my people talk am say even for beer parlor Oga dey." " There is hierarchy even in heaven" Having said that, respect for women is desirable, compulsory and good but feminism got it wrong when it says the man and the woman are the same! They are not equals, they are complements! A man can never be a woman, he was not made to be so and cannot be.. gays are idiots. A woman can never be man, she was not made to be so. Two people cannot both drive a car at the same time! So the woman and the man must understand their role and places in the marriage arrangement. Any attempt at exchange of roles will definitely lead to disaster and unhappiness. If the man is equal to the woman, na gay marriage be that o. Afterall no woman wants to marry a sissy man and no man wants to marry a fellow man or even tomboy. The religious arrangement of God being the head of the man and the man being the head of the woman in a relationship predicated on love is a perfect arrangement and so far the best. Feminism na trash. I want masculinism to start so that woman go dey toast man, pay bride price, protect, give man belle, tolerate nagging etc Feminism doesn't say men and women are equal. It says give them equal opportunities and chances. |

Freemanan: Not necessarily love. you see, the legalization of gay marriage in America is justice served for homosexuals but imagine the hurt the parents of these gays will feel knowing that their country has allowed a union to their own type. So you see, Justice and equity is not happiness.
I think Feminism in Africa should focus more on things that will bring happiness to women rather than fighting a lost course for equity in gender. I might sound Chauvinistic but That's the realistic truth. Legalisation of gay marriage means that gay marriages are valid in the eyes of the law. It means that the laws of heterosexual marriage such as divorce, prenuptial agreements etc now apply to same sex marriage. Gay ppl have been getting married for centuries but it wasn't a valid union in the eyes of the law. Your parents not being happy about your choice of life partner has nothing to do with justice and equity. Justice and equity brings happiness.. The gays are happy, the heterosexuals are happy The men are happy, the women are happy |

Let me ask you this question.
Do you think women and men are given equal opportunities to prove their worth Looking at history and today?
If your answer is yes, then you must be living under a rock.
If your answer is no, then answer this next question.
do you think it's fair that they be given the same opportunities?
If your answer yes, then that is feminism
If your answer is no, then you are part of the problem in today's society.

Timbuktou: 1. That was a matter of economic-efficiency. Only poor or illiterate men didn't send their daughters to school. The men so sent were expected to, in fact, train up they're younger ones through school and cater for miscellaneous needs. Does it not occur to you that these men sent to school were being groomed for a life of servitude? Sent to school only to provide money for their younger ones? Bottom line, every one has/had a role and responsibility to fulfill.
2. Who's stopping women from stepping up? Aren't there women in all conceivable professions already? Any school depriving females admission on basis of gender?
3. Oh, really? You said feminism is about equal rights for both genders; now you say men should shut up? Which is it, mister? Is feminism for women alone or for both genders? Or are you saying women are to be more equal than men? If not, then, what affects a woman should equally affect a man, should it not? Abo, wetin be the meaning of equality?
4. Refer to point 3.
5. Wrong. Wives are taught to submit to their husbands. There's a distinct difference. Is Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala going to submit to Emeka the vulcaniser? 
6. I would like proof of this having easier. Thanks for your cooperation.
7. And that makes it right? That only highlights a flaw in the system. Nobody should be racist to anyone else. Duh.
An oppressed person does not need to become an oppressor to seek redress. They might get restitution if it's practicable, otherwise, they could put an end to the oppression and move on.
