AndyMilonakis said:Amen...and my reply post to salt was made in that spirit.
If people have a problem with stuff that is posted on an internet forum, that's fine. But arguing on the internet is ******ed. Such energy is better spent fighting causes like Save the Dolphins or Americans Against NAMBLA.
salt, you don't need to apologize for anything. everyone is entitled to their beliefs and the great thing about America is that we have the right to disagree. and if you want to come down hard on me for making fun of special people, by all means go ahead.
Yeah, you're right. It was ******ed for me to say that you have no right to judge...
Um dude, if I wanted to challenge issues directly, a stupid forum is the last place I would do this. Seriously, nobody is gonna give a **** about you here. Get off your high horse. And your attempts to lay guilt-trips on people are pathetically lame. Oh no, this dude on SDN forum named salt said I was a bad person. Wah! I think I'm gonna cry to mommy now.salt said:When you lack the capacity to address challenging issues directly, delegitimize the venue and pander to bigotry by taking cheap shots at easy targets. Classy.
I hope you're feeling better about yourself, smart guy.

But that's the thing...it's not gonna stifle discussion and fun. OK maybe if like multiple people started preaching, that would be one thing. But this is coming from some random dude who nobody knows and rarely visits the forum. A few posts (that really stick out like a sore thumb from the majority of posts you see on SDN path) about how insensitive, callous, intolerant, and classless some of us are will not have earth-shattering effects.yaah said:Preaching about lack of understanding and class doesn't help matters and only serves to stifle discussion and the fun we have here. Your points about insensitive posts are noted.
Oh, I wasn't implying that. I was being sarcastic.yaah said:Yeah you're right. I didn't mean to imply earth shattering effects.
Well, agreed. Some people have thicker skin than others.yaah said:I just meant that some people might get turned off if they see someone is watching to police everything they say and criticize them for it.
yaah said:I'll bet you don't even know what sarcasm means.

That possibility of misinterpretation is as usual due to the gross under-use of the hyphen. I read it as there being a hyphen between the words "people" and "person".bananaface said:That could be interpreted 2 ways:
1) The wearer is antisocial
2) The wearer likes to screw things other than people

This is a complete sentence. It begins with an adverbial subordinator, "when," which introduces a conditional adverbial phrase, itself concluding with the adverb "directly;" this is followed by the sentence's subject, an implied "you," which establishes an imperative mood for sentence overall; the sentence continues with two successive present-tense verb phrases, connected by the conjunction "and," each containing a distinct direct object, the second being a prepositional phrase headed off by "to" and ending with the object of the preposition, "bigotry;" finally, the sentence concludes with two additional prepositional phrases, the object of the first being an embedded gerundive phrase, namely, "taking cheap shots," and the second propositional phrase consisting of but three words, beginning with "at" and ending with "targets."When you lack the capacity to address issues directly, delegitimize the venue and pander to bigotry by taking cheap shots at easy targets.
Thank you Nana. Is there a male equivalent? (i.e. in the context of - what do guys shave?)bananaface said:
Guys here don't typically shave much but their faces. Or, some shave their heads if they are going bald anyway or if they just think it looks cool. Every once in awhile some guy will shave/wax a super hairy back or something. And sometimes male swimmers will shave their entire bodies to cut down of friction in the pool. That's about it.deschutes said:*getting the hell outta the way of the grammarfest*

bananaface said:Part of growing up is learning that not every person who acts in an obnoxious manner is sincerely obnoxious. Some people do it to entertain themselves and others. Life is boring if it's constrained by political correctness 24/7. And even if one were to strive to live that way political correctness is transient, subjective, and quite often repressive.
Let go of the desire to fit everyone into the same mold you put yourself into and you'll find that different is not always a bad thing. Respect diversity in opinions and actions. Work on your own growth and be an example. Don't just nag at other people. It's annoying and it accomplishes little, if anything. You are the person who matters most to you. Focus your time there. And, when you venture out, try to make it via positive interactions. The manner in which you approach others is often the determining factor in whether or not they will accept your ideas.

You made an interesting comment, which is that your moral stand is ill placed. The fact of the matter is that the current administration and the media have worked together to generate alot of hatred. Not only is throwing a temper tantrum on an internet forum not going to change this, but the attitude with which you do so alienates those you are trying to win over and is in fact counterproductive. I'd agree that your moral stand is ill placed, and add ill delivered. Those two concepts are intertwined, as the better your people skills get, the more often you can take a stand without people thinking your actions are malplaced.salt said:What is one to conclude from this montage of stale fortune cookie quips, drossy Dr Phil pabulum, and dribs too drab for any chicken soup book?
That it is childish, or at least not grown up, to admonish words and actions one finds obnoxious or offensive? That its OK to be obnoxious, cruel, or bigoted as long as its entertaining? That Im somehow stunting my own growth by taking a moral stand on something (ill-placed though it may be)?
Perhaps I should surf the net for pictures of butt plugs and dog crap, post a few of those; thatll surely fecundate some self growth. And, hey, its entertaining.
Life is boring if it's constrained by transient and subjective "political correctness"? Its telling how often anything even wispily critical of bigotry or prejudice is summarily discounted by a labeling with those two words, rather than addressed directly.
Respect diversity in opinions and actions? Does that mean one should never speak ones mind if theres any chance ones remarks may be interpreted as challenging or critical of anothers words or deeds?
Who is being repressive here? Who is trying to fit whom into a mold?
It's the psychology of the thing, as Poirot would sayAndyMilonakis said:who cares? he's not that important.

Don't take things here so seriously.
And, when a roomful of people tell you that you are over reacting, consider the possibility.
