It’s because we’re men isn’t it?
Only the half or so who are. I’m quite sure I’m female.
Probably far nastier for one thing.
…yeah, but think of all those lovely cites…
Ah, yes… The Motto. You might notice that the OP (who is a new poster, btw) stared this as a pit thread. A serious post (one in which The Motto would apply) might have been started in GQ. “It seems to me that all men are children rapers, are there statistics that bear this out? And if so, why just men?” Then the answers you wanted would probably been given. As it is I believe the answers here rise to the honesty of the accusation.
Once again, the OP sincerely believes the news stories she has been hearing are typical of what’s happening. She is not herself exaggerating what she has heard. She does not deserve your hatred. The people who deserve your hatred are the cable news channels that deliberately distort the amount of crime in the U.S. to keep their viewers in a constant state of terror so that they will keep watching. Why aren’t you complaining about the lying cable news channels (and perhaps the lying newspapers) instead of her? You do it apparently because you would rather direct your hatred to a single deluded person rather than to a greedy corporation. Use your hatred in a constructive fashion rather than just wasting it on acts of nastiness toward a single individual who can’t do anything about the bad media environment.
I, for one, don’t treat ignorant people like dirt.
I treat ignorant people with dirt because they like it and think it tastes like lollies.
We do complain about the shallow, biased, incompetent media. Frequently. And it’s already been pointed out to you that if she’d wanted a debate this thread would have been started elsewhere. Why are you ignoring this? You’re doing it because you’d rather feel smug and superior rather than admit that the OP did an ill-considered drive-by post in the Pit and has no intention of participating further in this thread. Such things are worthy of mockery.
..and here we are on page 3..
Holy crap, who let the broads start posting??!
What hatred? The response was about as serious as the OP deserved, but dark-humored banter is really a far cry from hatred.
What, you think we’re going to leave you alone in here with all the children who may be lurking? Nice try, buddy.
In retrospect we should have just said
“Can you show me on the doll where the media environment touched you?”
This is an assumption not necessarily borne out by the OP.
oh shit
Its our own fault really. Not enough cooking or ironing threads to keep the dears occupied.
See my signature.
Now see? This is a great motto. One I can definitely get behind as enthusiastically as the behinds of little children.
It wasn’t started as a pit thread. It was started in Great Debates. Per Marley’s post:
Not much of a debate when the OP never returns.
