Atheist are more annoying than theist most of the time when it comes to religion. Most I've seen believe that they are always in the right and think they're superior to people who are religious or on the fence. They also tend to think they're on some mission to make everyone Atheist because "Religion is evil!" and "Nothing bad would every happen if we got rid of religion!"
By the way I'm not talking about agnostics, I'm talking about people like these

Yeah, silly misconception that atheism makes you smarter, lol. Being free of religious bias certainly makes you a little bit more open to new and different ideas which can enlighten your perspective, but being religious certainly doesn't mean you're automatically stupid and being athiest doesn't mean you're more enlightened and euphoric than religious people. Ben Carson is one of the most brilliant Neuro Surgeons on the planet, advances neuroscience field drastically; still a fundie nutjob
[QUOTE=Lysander32;50394618]People misuse the term socialism, but actual socialism is a legitimate financial model that has seen success. At its core, socialism is about eliminating financial hierarchies and making companies worker-owned. We have seen it work with companies such as Publix and Mondragon, these are very successful companies with multi-billion dollar revenues. Markets can still exist under socialism; market is a means of distribution, socialism is a means of control over production.
If more companies adopted Publix and Mondragon's models we'd see less wealth inequality and fairer wages without the need for much government regulation and perhaps better and less cutthroat business practices.

Try reading this for a very strong rebuttal against the cooperative argument. I mean, I would argue that this isn't really socialism at all, but instead a form of organising a business, and if you consider cooperatives to be socialist, then I think you're misguided (or maybe I put too extreme a definition upon socialism). You're simply transporting the role of the capitalist away from shareholders or super-managers towards workers.
The problem is that workers aren't very good at this.

The two best examples to counter your example of cooperatives are first from the above from Yugoslavia, and the second is from the Israeli Kibbutz.
[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;50394239]Shigeru Miyamoto is an influential person, and he has been responsible for creating some of the most beloved games and franchises.
[I][B]But...[/B][/I]
It is undeniable that he has played a role in the Mario series' stagnation in the past half-decade (e.g. the dumbing down of the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi games, making the story nearly non-existent in Super Mario Galaxy 2, the formulaic and increasingly gimmick-driven nature of the main series, etc.).[/QUOTE]
I don't get some of his decisions when it comes to trying to push a series forward. Star Fox Zero played it mostly safe except for it's controls.
The walker is just another thing knicked from 2. All that's really left to take are the map system and the two other pilots.

Riding on this sentiment. Youtube atheism is a blight in general.
Sargon. Armored Skeptic. Harmful Opinions. TJ. Oh god, its logic and reason bros all the fuckin way down.
Who ever prides themselves on "logic and reason" can fuck themselves and the enlightened horses they rode on in. One thng that bothers me is how anti-feminist they all are. Brogressives suck and those guys are the cream of the crop. They're supposed to be "free-thinkers" and all but create echo chambers of their own dogma and viewpoints exactly like, surprise surprise, religious people!

I'm not sure if I'd even call them brogressives; the only "progressive" ideas they have is atheism, but they turn that around be being not accepting of people with different religions. Of course, you have a conflict of progressives idea here (Conservative establishments of Christianity and Islam vs anti-sexism) but I think the best course of action is to address the problematic aspects of the religion and viewpoints as opposed to entire sweeping "RELIGION IS BAD"; we have LGBT Affirming sects of Judaism, Christianity and even Islam and this has only been getting better.
What is it with youtube athiests and feminism though? As far as I know I think it was largely because women wanted to participate in skeptic communities so they started trying to form ones that follow with feminist ideas, and these youtube athiests got outraged at some people trying to fit into their special club. It's strange, atheism vs feminism? What an odd battleground. It's gotten even to the point where someone like Richard Dawkins starts complaining about it, it's embarrassing.
I feel like I might be in some kind of beverage minority because I like soda water/sparkling mineral water, cream soda, tonic water, and gin.
I have no idea how unpopular this is but I find SFM porn to be just cringy looking, even if it's done very well. Even if it portrays subject matters I LIKE I still can't look at it, it just feels like I'm jacking it off to a Pixar movie or something. I have this feeling for 3D modeled porn in general, it just seems so strange and unnatural how its made and portrayed. I can enjoy 2D art and the real deal, but the medium between the 2 that is 3D model porn is just a no go for me. If you enjoy it whatever, but I can't get into it no matter how hard I try.
I'm the smartest at here's forums
tbh rust choosing your gender/race seems really silly
but what's even worse is the people who don't even own rust lurk in the forums, waiting for people to post about how they don't like the feature so they can tell them how much of a baby they are

I'm more annoyed that a lot of animated videos are using such a limited engine. Seriously, the engine came out in '04. Unity and Unreal Engine 4 are out now. SFM can't do much more than it's already done, even if some videos do look pretty good.

People vote mostly on the parties they know most about.
Being "On the fence" in elections between 2 radically different parties doesn't make you smarter, it just means you don't have a well constructed worldview to base your decisions on. I see too many posts where people lambast those who align with parties no matter what and how they're so much smarter because they "Aren't sheeple".

Or being on the fence could just mean you're uncomfortable voting for either. Hilarious that you're complaining about other lambasting people who support a party while simultaneously lambasting people for not doing so.

There's a difference between being uncomfortable voting between 2 parties, and thinking you're smart for being on the fence; which is what I was talking about. I'm talking about the superiority complex people get over "sheeple". Please don't twist around the meaning of what I said.

So why throw everybody who is on the fence into the category of thinking others are "Sheeple"? You said being on the fence means you don't have a well constructed worldview, which is complete bullshit. Many people are on the fence because they do have a well constructed world view and both choices stand against their views.

I don't vote on major parties because I don't want to be a "sheeple", I do it because I don't simple support them. And to be honest, it is a smart thing. The more perspective there is on society, the more methods and sollutions we find. Why do you think we need several scientific methods in order to confirm a theory? More opinions, more ways to develop; criticism is the key (no matter how right it look).

Choosing not to vote isn't a criticism, it's just abstaining from making your voice heard in the elections. If you want to criticise the political system or candidates, put some effort into it

In Sweden we have many parties to choose from. I believe the more opinions and worldviews we have, the more we can evolve. I support the swedish Pirate Party, but I vote blank because I don't believe that they're able to govern. It's important to question your own beliefs.
I rather blank vote (which is criticism; great democrative tool) instead of voting for a cheeseburger with cuccumber, or a cheeseburger with bacon. My voice wouldn't even count as I don't support those two major parties, because I want the BigMac. Either start one myself, or support a minor one that reflects my own views, or be active in community discussions to share and spread political influence.
I agree that not voting at all is retarded, and I completely forgot he said [I]"... being uncomfortable voting..."[/I]
I really don't get this "All opinions are valuable" thing. I would never consider the opinion of a Neo-Nazi or a Homophobe a valuable perspective. That isn't to say that I think they should be silenced, but I don't think their perspectives are valuable. There can be discussion made amongst those that largely agree within an ideology on how best to apply something. Otherwise, I generally try and align myself with what I find from science (Including social science and economic findings) and methodology that has had real world applications; Which is why I consider myself a market socialist, because it has been proven to work.
Now that doesn't mean, even if I mostly agree with them, the left is totally free of problems; I think their Anti-GMO stance, while noble in some ways, is choosing to ignore the science behind GMOs; being anti-GMO for all the wrong reasons. Golden rice is one of the greatest inventions to end world hunger, a very anti-oppression goal, but for some reason anti-GMO activists and Anti-Globalists dislike it? It confuses me. Their anti-nuclear stance is something I really dislike too. The left rags on about Climate Change, but they ignore one of the greatest ways to solve it! Nuclear is one of the safest, efficient and least environmentally and humanely destructive methods of energy, and it only gets better as the science behind it progresses. These are kind of some of the very few of ways I find that leftists largely ignore the science behind things.
i'd consider the opinions of bigots and scum valuable for the sake of understanding, personally. I don't expect to ever have the persuade me into their way of thinking, in fact I know I never will, but I always try to hear them out just to understand how some people come to such batshit insane conclusions. it also helps in arguments and when I want to get people on my side, I find.
