Female comics suck. En garde!

Female comics are actually highly trained crypto-communicologists, they have been trained to use a form of speech that communicates high concepts of comedy, culture and commentary on life in a manner that only those who have been trained in decoding these messages would find amusing while also forming a disarming stereotype that keeps the male hegemony from digging deeper and cracking the code.

tl;dr...when you watch it with your male gonadotropins, you see a floundering, helpless female failing in a man's niche (oh god that sentence is rife with weird metaphors) but I see some funny shit.

Except Kathy Griffin...no one thinks she's funny.

Or Sarah Silverman. Bloody hell.

What are your feelings about abortion? I think it is murder.(And Im not just saying that)

You thinking it is murder doesn't really say much. Does that mean you're pro-life? I've known people who thought it was murder but were pro-choice, because not everyone thinks the same.

I guess you're trying to debate OP but still...I'd like to learn more on this topic and challenging my own thoughts is the best way to do so, since I've never really met anyone against it.

I am pro-Life. I believe in Freedom and I wish the government had less restriction on people (I am somewhat of a LIbertarian) but you don't have the "freedom" to MURDER someone. It is just as bad as having the baby then suffocating it because you don't feel like taking care of it.

OK, time to bring out the mid-flamers.

Religion as a tool for manipulation of will?

+
Girls pretending to be boys on the internet and vice versa.

Religion was originally used to stop angry rapist murders John to stop killing everybody
so small skinny non-rapist Dave said "hey John if you stop Raping and killing everybody the great Shoo Shoo in the sky will give you cake.But if you Don't stop you will be eaten by Shoo Shoo.
Ta-Daa the invention of religion.

I'm actually of the opinion that religion was created out of tall-tale-esque stories that eventually people took as fact. Taking Jesus as example, he was probably some guy who went around spreading alot of new ideas. He was probably killed and some of his followers stuck around. Some began exaggeration of events regarding his life or used metaphors to help spread his messages. What originally started as some stories to take morals out of (Like Aesop's fables) people began to believe really happened. Add in several more generations as well as persecution of those who realized Jesus was just a nice dude with a message and now you have a religion. (Not these are just my theories on the subject)

Religion isn't just Christianity you know...
But yeah, I agree that Jesus was probably the right man, not son of god, in the right place.

And actually the early pagan religions are born of ignorance of the world (lightning must be a will of god) and fear of death.

Where's salad has she fled?

 

[dkyros]

Go ahead, I double-dare you.

Don't feel like debating,so I'll ask a question instead: Why are all the girls I know with nerdy tendencies either not cute, not straight, not interested, or more than one of the above?

I may not be a salad lady but I have known some hot nerdy chicks. The problem is that the hot ones don't last long on the free markets so you have got to make moves early on.

Well, current abortion law limits the time you can have an abortion as to limit the suffering of the fetus. Note I say fetus, not baby, because at that point the things is just cells, has not nervous system and no self awareness. Although that is really beside the point, as I also believe taking life is wrong. What I am interested in is your opinions with unjust pregnancies. Like say a woman is raped and gets pregnant. She would be forced to have that baby. Teenage mothers? Ever statistic in the world shows that teenage parents have a significantly worse life than those who have children later. A pregnancy isn't just about the baby, it's about the parents too.

What Christianity isn't the only religion? Great Scot, when did this happen?

That too. Certain religions were also born of people explaining the world. Although I think that they developed in much a similar manner as to how I described. Some kid asked his parents why the sun rises and sets each day and they make ups some tale to answer it. Kid takes it as fact and several generations later everyone believes it.

Well what do hermaphrodites think?

P.S. if you didn't know it's an innie and an outie.

 

[Simriel]

Why dont you have a penis!?

Also, Coke or Pepsi? Apparently Coke is winning for some reason and I think it may because of you stupid women!?

ALSO, do you like My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic because I just watched the first 21 episodes and found it delightful!?

Number one: Pepsi, coke is for making bad well drinks. Number two: what is this I don't even

This is almost exactly what just happened in this picture. Also, in what expansion did you Magic the Gathering become lame, and in what expansion did it peak. I believe it peaked in Urza's Saga and became lame during Odyssey

Magic has yet to 'Peak' or become 'Lame' therefore your argument is invalid.

I still think we need a thread like this every now and again to get the derailing and prating around tendencies out. The fact the OP got flooded with questions then jumped ship to watch ponies makes it golden.

Fa/tg/uy by some chance? I've been looking for a decent 'tactical genius' pic for ages so stolen!

Nah ED, Know your meme and a 40k nerd so maybe I should be there... I love that image, I tend to overuse it though.

Shhh everypony, we need to cover the last pages up with serious stuff so as to avoid suspicion!

Uh... except for this post.

Quick, quick everypony act natural

I think killing a baby is like killing an animal because that is all it is at that point.
Sure it has potential but like living in a dictatorship as long as you not aware of what its like where the grass is greener you won't be upset.I'm not sure if i believe in freedom thought because its not really apart of nature, i guess i believe in chance and as i said as long as your not aware or "freedom" you won't care(e.g. bred into captivity.
Although if i had my way I would allow all the battery chicken and hormone shit that goes on in farms these day's.

What's your stance on resurgent nationalism in the Western world in the wake of recent troubles in the Middle East?

Nationalism can be a good thing when used to the betterment of a nation and its people, this is not how we're doing business right now. It's being used (AGAIN) to fear-monger and manipulate people into supporting things that will ultimately hurt them...but will be profitable in one way or another to those doing the mongering. To spice it up, I blame the republicans.

Interesting.

I feel that nationalism isn't something that can really be forced on people, it can be encouraged by the media but the media will often take it's cue from the people's mood. I personally feel that nationalism is a legitimate human reaction to external pressure, that we are fundamentally 'us versus them' creatures and that given a 'them' that opposes us we will automatically begin searching for others to help form an 'us'.

I don't think that nationalism is entirely a government tool so much as a natural reaction within society that the government cannot really stop or start, but must simply channel. Imposed nationalism feels absurd, but failing to address concerns that society generates will not make the problem disappear.

I agree that nationalism fits nicely into humanity's tribal mentality. This tribal mentality arising in part because we think humans tend to see things in binary terms. Your either "us" in "our" tribe or nation or whatever, or you not and your "them" and a foreigner. But also consider "good and evil" and "masculine and feminine" as other examples of binary thinking.

What i would point out though is that many states, unconsciously or consciously, do reinforce nationalism through education and in some cases the media. When i was at school, i learnt "British history" and when i went home to watch the news, i watched the British Broadcasting Corporation. Most news-outlets, either public or private, are nationally orientated. Plus, government administrative bodies, such as the postal service or whomever manages taxation, do also indirectly foster a sense of nationalism.

If it occures from rape AND they do it before the point when all the organs are developed it is up to them. Teenaged mothers should not murder their fetuses. They made the choice unlike women who are raped. Also even though it may not feel yet you are stripping it of the ability to grow and eventually feel. It is only slightly less terrible.
