I don't understand the need to invent many confusing and vague words to mean "treating each person fairly"(or not).

It's funny that you(she) mention(s) a "fictional world where genders are already equal". Because in her "Tropes vs Women" videos she is arguing that even in the fictional worlds, there still exists a wedge between the genders (as seen by the use of tropes). So which is it? Single-dimension...

So to recap, we have lawyers, briefcases, suits and all, sitting around, arguing whether Submariner is a mutant or not, what technically is a mutant, which continuity is the cannon one etc etc. Am I the only one that wants to see a case like this make to court? Judge: "This is Baloney...

Heh. Sorry about the misleading post title. I (think) I fixed it. You know, I sort of expect one or two wise-asses to ironically ignore the OP, but this is too funny. Thanks Escapist, made my day :D

You know those posts where the poster reads skims the topic title and posts, without really reading what the original post is all about, and disregarding the discussion up until their entry? That should be put to an end. It's annoying to constantly come across these one post wonders, they...

Way to ignore the discussion that took place. You know, OP has since changed his stance and other people have brought up other arguments for and against.

Every older generation thinks the youngings are good for nothing whipper-snappers? Sounds about right.

The issue isn't that the police officer shot the dog. It's the circumstances. See my above comments. And my issue with you isn't that you'd rather have a living policeman and a dead dog. It's that you're suggesting that giving the man a "better" dog is sufficient compensation for the loss of...

Abrahamic religions: The original humans were perfect. They sinned. All humans after them are sinners who are born of sin, snowballing the sin factor into the next generation. Sin being the natural state of humans only grows with each generation. Hinduism: we are living in the time of Kali...

Erm.. pelase clarify. I don't think I get what you're trying to say here. And what's the point in seeing film that way? We don't care about flickering pictures on screen. Only when they start to tell a story, when the actors in funny suits become dear friends and bitter enemies, when your...

Reading comprehension failure. OP has stated this: That means he's not talking about respect per se. He's using that word to mean a more complicated thought which I can't find a word for either, but the OP states the intention explicitly and it is there in the original post if you take the...

Exactly my point ^^ I was thinking about it though... what did happen to the domestic abuse household?

How about showing some benefit of the doubt to your fellow human being? Discussions go nowhere when you nitpick what was said rather than try to infer what was meant.

It's no fun playing a game when you think of it as a bunch of transistors that either get an electric charge or not. Only when the pixels become dear friends and bitter enemies, when the controls become the extension of the thought do we find pleasure in that silly past time of ours...

But we're talking about an internet forum discussion. What the OP shows is just one example that was sitting at the top of their head, and the OP posted it to see if other people have similar experiences. I'm sure the OP is drawing upon a larger base of experiences, but you know, how many can...
