And there's no stigma against mental illnesses? >.> I said I agreed with not jailing people based on thought crime. No argument there. I think you missed the point of that bit entirely. I wasn't calling you homophobic. It was more about how, in the past, people have tried to "cure" a...

No I don't see your point at all >.> Even working under the assumption that being attracted to kids is inherently evil and harmful to those around you, would you really try and remove all pictures of attractive teens and children from the internet? If not, I'm not sure what else you could do...

... how would sending caught pedophiles to therapy rather than jail remove any amount of stigma from from it? And what would a professional do? Cure him of his attraction? I suppose I'd better try and get my gay friend to a therapist as well so he can have normal turn-ons as well? The...

Yes it's a shame that they have to hide that even if they've done nothing wrong, but professional help? Maybe it's just me, but I get the idea that most people are able to control their sexual urges reasonably well, even if the urges are strange, and that it's a small minority that actually...

Even the meaning of "be yourself" is pretty hard to determine exactly. Act like yourself... it can realistically only mean one thing: Don't copy other people's ways of acting. That's kinda iffy. Learning from other people is pretty damn useful, and if something works then why avoid it? I went...

Huge rewards for getting killstreaks make avoiding death much more important than it needs to be, and being able to kill someone in half a second makes camping the most effective technique...

You think so? I feel like they spend more than a couple days throwing each episode together.

Whichever one is a hot girl.

My rule is that I'll only give them money if they're playing music that I find agreeable. That way if they aren't sincere in their desperate need, at least they've earned the money to some degree.

Hmmm? I don't hate the girl at all, she seems typical, I hate the song. That includes her singing, but not her as a person. Is that not what we were talking about? It really shouldn't come as a surprise to me that people may hate her personally, but the thought just never occurs to me.

It's not cyberbullying just because we don't like her. It would be cyberbullying if we followed her around and made death threats just because. While undoubtedly there are people doing that, the fact that we've generally agreed to detest that abortion of a song is not in itself bullying as much...

The use of caps to display shouting is woefully tacky. I weep for what the internet has done to society's collective writing ability.
