Posted 3 May 2014 Stereotypes hurt us all. It's easy to see a loose opinion and assume a stereotypical view of a person, but that's unfair on the individual, in this case you. You're a good dude with your own opinions. Me telling you my opinion is just hitting against a brick wall, because you already have a good and reasonable idea of what you want and how to act. Discussion helps us understand each other. Debate is useless when neither person is a bad person who should be changed. Your way of thinking has a place in society, and so you're not an undesirable person, and so you don't really need to be combated. This discussion has been a good enriching experience for me. Are you going to your party yet. Trying to purify your point of view to be extremely liberal is like saying a floor isn't clean because it's still got some dust or marks. It's clean enough, and trying to make people keep their floors as obsessively clean as I keep mine is unreasonable and unfair. You don't need to follow other peoples' standards because your own are good enough, and so you shouldn't be made to feel like you should. I say 'I' and 'mine' just for the sake of the writing. I think I'm pretty level headed about my opinions and their importance. At least I'm getting there. Chase likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 3 May 2014 Lol I don't have a party to go to. The whole day is a party for me! I'm going to dinner tonight with my parents and then later on maybe to a bar/club with my friends. I can't seem to draw myself away from this website. I've tried for the last, what, 8 years now and have failed every time lol. Jareddude likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 3 May 2014 I get the feeling this will be your 23rd birthday? I probably won't be doing anything for my 21st at the end of this August either, since, if I get into college, I'll be starting on the 1st of September; the day after my birthday. I'll probably be in Dundee with no people. Even my friends who live in Dundee for university go to a different place, and so they'll start back at the end of September anyway. I'll have an advance celebration instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 3 May 2014 my friend and I did pretty well today! We went to 2 different comic shops. the first local one, World's Greatest Comics was packed. Then we went right off of campus to the Laughing Ogre (love this store) and it was SUPER packed. Kids with face paint. People in cosplay. camera men. Damn it was crazy! My friend got about twice as many comics as I did. I was surprised. fun day. Teto likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 4 May 2014 I'm saying women are inferior to men. Don't be so pedantic, Max. History as a whole will show I'm right, not your current girl friends in the last 10 years Women, for THOUSANDS of years, been caretakers of the home and protectors of their children. It's not a lesser role. It's a necessary role for families to function correctly. A role that very few women are filling now. Just because we've started treating everyone with more "equality" doesn't mean we haven't also lost something (have you seen marriage/divorce rates?) Roles, rank, and respect are disappearing. Pride is a huge issue in our culture, largely with women. "I don't need no man!" is a piss-poor attitude when you also have 2 kids and a career. "You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing!" because it is a bad thing. What women have gained for themselves (careers, money, societal status), families have lost in a mother and caretaker. There is now no one to stay home and clean, so we hire a maid. There is now no one to cook, so we go out to eat and get fat at fast food restaurants. There is now no one to watch the children, so we drop them at daycares or hire nannies. I never said women were less intelligent than men (they aren't), or that women can't get jobs or do what they want to do. But there comes a point, in marriage specifically, when you have to choose responsibility over what you want to do. Women are VITAL to the success of their families, but instead they'd rather further their own interests than allow their husband any sense of manhood. What is a man, these days? You talk about women serving more purposes than bearing children, but what about men? What purpose do men serve, now, apart from planting children into women? Marriage rates are at the lowest they've been in centuries. A marriage to a woman is unappealing to men, and women are too consumed in their own careers to "settle." Divorce rates are at an all time high, and women tend to get the better end of that deal, too. Marriage has become a trap for men. I'd as soon stay single and avoid all the mess. And women have made that easy, too. Condoms, birth control, etc. remove the risk of any unwanted fetus and there are plenty of "liberated" females that are willing to have sex without any sort of stipulation. Slim risk of pregnancy, sex, no responsibility...why get married, again? Why monogamy, when you could have sex with many women? I mean, it just seems like you're reducing all human relationships to child-rearing. And there have been plenty of matriarchal societies around the world for thousands of years, I won't buy that it's just the way it is that men lead and women follow.
