You people don't understand. Whoever gets elected is just a puppet either way. They are just a figure. They have the same people to listen to, they have to listen to all the corporate lobbyists and everyone. Nothing will change because the entire system is a mess. Understand that.
-
@renovatedkitchen I somewhat agree.
-
@renovatedkitchen That's why whenever I'm asked who I think won the debate, I just say, "Not you."

@renovatedkitchen We understand, but we like to have someone to blame should something go wrong.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 22:42:01 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I like to blame blac- no. I was going to say something that might be considered racist
-
@renovatedkitchen How is that MIGHT. It blatantly IS.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 22:43:57 UTC from web-
@nixter I don't consider much to be racist. If people of color can play race cards in court and everywhere saying "you_______because I'm black" then I see no reason to not be racist. If a white person can't do the same, then that is racist.
-
@renovatedkitchen Reminds me of some woman who are all pro-equality but won't hesitate to say "but I'm a woman" if it gives them an advantage in a situation. Those people annoy me so badly :/
-
@omni I'm reading a book called female chauvinist pigs. It's written by a feminist and talks a bit about how women are screwing themselves by doing that kinda stuff
-
@renovatedkitchen I hate feminists, they claim equality yet they only wish to make women better, they fail to see we males statistically take 40% jail time for equal crimes as females, we still have genital mutational at an age we cannot choose (circumcision at a very young age) and other stuff, true, women have been treated poorly, but if they truly wanted equality, they should promote having no gender specific things. Also, they disregard evidence that's right in their face, which annoys me. There is nothing wrong with wanting your gender to become equal, but when you disregard that there is bad things to both sides, that isn't being equal, that's wanting your gender to be in a better seat, which is fine, but don't lie and state that they want equality.

@nixter I have a feeling you're generalizing feminists like most people generalize vegans as PETA-supporting freaks. Have you ever met an actual feminist?
-

-
@nixter Hmm, I see. I personally haven't met any yet, but most groups (including bronies) have this "the idiots are yelling loudest" issue, which is why I always try to make clear to people I'm not a good representative for any group, but many of the loud people think they are (while they're not).
-
@omni Yeah... But the very name feminists suggests they don't give a flying truck full o' fudge about males.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:07:40 UTC from web-
@nixter Names can be misleading, though, but I understand where you're coming from and wouldn't be surprised if you're right, but I want to be careful with believing or making statements on a group of people of whom I never met a single one.
-
@omni I see your point, and it's a very good one, too. But if you constantly get stabbed by people named, "The Stabbers" Would you trust that you'll not get shanked after the 100th member?
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:15:41 UTC from web-
@nixter Generally, I try to do it this way: If it's one person of the group who leaves a bad impression, I try to give others the ability to make up for it. If I've had the same bad impression with several others, I just assume the group to be bad until someone proves me otherwise (like I did with Christianity, until @pony and @whiterose proved me wrong there).

@nixter Fair enough, practices told me enough about PETA, for example (there are surely nice people there, but the ones in charge are doing their stuff terribly wrong).
-
@omni Following someone who stands for what you do but does it terribly wrong isn't a good spot to be in, so, that group that has a different mindset should for a different group, eh?
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:23:17 UTC from web-
@nixter Clearly, but often you don't know about alternatives. For example, I've seen Microsoft as a pretty awful company but didn't knew there were other OSses until I was 13 or so :x

@omni Ah it's fine, we all have opinions and options, we just choose what tailors to each person, so it's all right. :)

@omni I am sorry, I kinda had 'friend' problems irl so that was why I took a break. It is true friendships are hard, but worth fighting for.
Saturday, 03-Nov-12 18:48:52 UTC from web-
@whiterose I know exactly what you mean with your last sentence... Hope the situation improved? :x
Saturday, 03-Nov-12 18:49:58 UTC from web-
@omni It has, she still is kinda smothering me and wants me to be her best friend. I keep trying to tell her we are just plain Jane friends, but she is still very clingy.
Saturday, 03-Nov-12 18:51:31 UTC from web -
@omni she also keeps trying to make me jealous. It bothers me some, but the fact I realize it means I am growing and will learn to better handle it with time.

@nixter kinda what that book says. She also talks about how women use their sexuality to persuade men to do things for them. How women don't want equality but to be above others.
-
@renovatedkitchen In their defense, everyone wants to be on top.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:03:34 UTC from StatusNet Android-
@redenchilada Now that's true, but when you claim equality and use equality as a big factor to show independence or something like that and blatantly lie in front of everyone, that's not okay.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:06:04 UTC from web -
@redenchilada then they shouldn't say they are fighting for equality.

@omni my sister exactly
Monday, 29-Oct-12 22:52:43 UTC from web-
@mushi I'm really glad my owner doesn't do that (to be completely fair, I use the "but I'm the girl" argument way more often than she does, albeit being a guy myself).
-
@omni also, she is like "genders are equal, but men are ****"
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:04:56 UTC from web-
@mushi Both man and woman are equally awful, up to the point where my owner is ashamed to be female and I'm ashamed to be male.

@zeldatra My owner, A.K.A. my partner (Note: not all pet/owner relationships have the owner be the partner as well) is a girl from Germany whom I truly love and trust completely. She's also one of the low amount of people who really understands me and takes the time and energy to put up with all my flaws.

@renovatedkitchen I don't mind racist people, but I'm not a racist, though. I don't like when they use their race to an 'advantage' either. And it makes me hate those people like you said that pull out the race card and not tolerate being 'punished' if they are being 'rewarded' if you catch mah drift.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 22:50:08 UTC from web-
@nixter I would say I am slightly racist to people who are idiots. I don't mind black people who aren't part of a gang. I also hate immigrants who think this is their home country. I've seen Indian women driving into oncoming traffic because they don't want to sit in traffic. To me, those kinds of people are some of the worst.
-
@renovatedkitchen Yes, those people are idiots and don't deserve to even been in the country to begin with, and don't worry, you aren't being racist, you're hating idiocy, which is fine, but due to the heavily pseudo-non-segregation mentality you have been thought to be racist simply due to the fact they aren't your colour. Which is sad, really.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 22:59:35 UTC from web-
@nixter they really don't deserve to live here. But no, I can be racist too.
-
@renovatedkitchen I make racist jokes all the time and I sometimes use it to taunt them but I don't consider myself to be a white nationalist or something. :P I'm fine around any race, but that doesn't stop be from using that for a laugh or to strike them where it hurts.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:04:03 UTC from web-
@nixter then I'm not really racist. Rarely will I actually purely despise on a certain race. I love racist jokes though. In Canada apparently we can say them or anything publicly because of some freedom of speech laws that were passed not too long ago.
-
@renovatedkitchen Doesn't mean you should scream it out, though... I ain't trusting Omar around the corner likes jokes about how he's good at basketball because all you gotta do is steal shoot and run...
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:08:57 UTC from web-
@nixter I don't scream anything out loud. I'm not planning on joining the !kkk or something. Just little inner hate is all.
-
@renovatedkitchen Mm. Inner hate is best left on the inside.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:16:01 UTC from web-
@nixter it all comes out eventually.
-
@renovatedkitchen And that's the time you're going to be far, far away from other people.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:20:40 UTC from web-
@nixter or close.
-
@renovatedkitchen :/ That wouldn't exactly be good.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:23:33 UTC from web-
@nixter I don't mind it one bit. I just don't even care anymore.
-
@renovatedkitchen Um try not to get raped in jail, then.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:25:51 UTC from web-
@nixter I don't understand you.
-
@renovatedkitchen >Explosive personality towards a race or something >Goes to jail for hate crimes >Not a fun time
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:30:43 UTC from web-
@nixter hate crimes is different. In Canada you can say something racist in public and it is now the law that it is okay. Also, I'm not that racist. I just don't care about people in general.
-
@renovatedkitchen Really? I can say racist stuff! Whoa. I-I need a moment.
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:35:02 UTC from web-
@nixter because the liberal Michael ignatief wrote a racist article about Ukrainians and passed that law soon after so that he wasn't punished for it. Guy is a total moron. But at least he passed this law.
-
@renovatedkitchen That guy dodged a bullet there, didn't he?
Monday, 29-Oct-12 23:38:33 UTC from web-
@nixter ya. Everyone hates him though. And for good reasons. He made he liberal party look like trash and was just an insult to Canada.
-
@renovatedkitchen Truly a blunder on the human race, I see.
