Obviously this is an argument I can only lose nowadays because it's really all about being politically correct and socially accepting. I want to go back to the days of extreme arrogance ♥♥
[QUOTE=FreddiRox!;44843529]No the idea of shoving something down someone's throat is the idea of forcefully making me accept their beliefs. What started this feud is when I referred to this guy as a girl, and he got verbally aggressive calling me insolent and arrogant [sp](I can see that to be fair)[/sp] for not being respectful of how he chooses to identify himself. I wouldn't care if he told me he chooses to identify as a boy, but I shouldn't have to identify him as a boy??? I don't know how to make that make sense - The same way I wouldn't tell a Jew to stop believing in god because I don't believe in god.[/QUOTE] Actually the way you describe it a better analogy would be you continuing to identify someone who converts from Christianity to Islam as a Christian. They're telling you how they identify, and you're refusing to acknowledge it.

[QUOTE=FreddiRox!;44843581]But religion is something you can change.[/QUOTE] Alright then would you prefer the "I didn't raise a gay son" analogy?
Freddi, what you have to understand is that gender is... personal. As in a person has their own gender identity, and that trumps their sex and also anybody else's perception of that person. So if that dude says he's a dude, he's a dude. And you don't have to have dysphoria to be trans, either. It's not a medical thing. Maybe this will continue to seem absurd to you for a while, but try to take our words to heart.

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;44843679]Ancient societies actually used the concept of a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_gender#History"]third gender[/URL] so you're wrong there.[/QUOTE] That's a good point. Another point to bring up is that western society and imperialism have enforced a gender binary that is not native to a lot of cultures. This gender binary is essentialist (in that penis = guy, vagina = girl), sexist in that it places roles on genders and also cissexist because it doesn't allow for nonbinary gender or expression. This has been going on for as long as colonialism started and has slowly crept into the world's cultures. It's a big thing, too - native populations across the globe have already had or are having their cultures squashed underneath Western imperialism.

[QUOTE=MrFishcake;44841516]Football / soccer is shit and I judge you if you like it.[/QUOTE] How can you judge someone(me) for liking football? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can judge a person for liking it. [QUOTE=isnipeu;44838097]I don't understand why people want to defend such a shitty religion. Just because lots of people that follow Islam don't follow the extreme things it says in it's holy book doesn't change the fact that it has that stuff in there, and encourages shit like [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1392286&p=44763583&viewfull=1#post44763583]sexism, violence, etc[/url]. But of course you'll just ignore that, give me boxes, and say I'm a racist for not respecting such a religion.[/QUOTE] You do relies the Koran is ancient and can be interrupted in many ways. Not all Muslims agree with things in the Koran, stop generalizing you ignorant bigot. My unpopular opinion is I adore sports, only really unpopular on here.
Spaceballs isn't funny.
[QUOTE=Outro-intro;44843965]Spaceballs isn't funny.[/QUOTE] I personally like it but I can see how the humor wouldn't appeal to some. It's very "zany".
I think Doom 64 is the best Doom game and it breaks my heart that nobody ever made custom levels for it after it was ported to PC.
I think 2001: A Space Odyssey was a laughably bad movie.
I think Game of Thrones is extremely overrated and I don't like it.

[QUOTE=FreddiRox!;44843411]I did a bit of research, I mean I have a tumblr account so that's close enough to it. [editline]18th May 2014[/editline] But there was nothing different about this girl who identifies as a boy, she has no hormone imbalances, [B]her only justification [/B]is '[I]I feel like I was born in the wrong body[/I]' or '[I]We shouldn't let doctors define who we are!![/I]' and nonsense like that.[/QUOTE] it isn't an argument - people who suffer from gender dysphoria actually feel like they're in the wrong body.
[QUOTE=Bonswazzle;44842413]I don't like the whole cosmetics, F2P, keys, and more that Valve is implementing in their new multiplayer games. I also don't really like Steam in general but I'm forced to use it because there's no viable alternative.[/QUOTE] You can mostly get by through a combination of other services such as Gog, Desura, and Gamersgate. There's still a lot of Steam exclusive shit though and apparently now you have to be careful with games like Tabletop Simulator which advertised having a non-Steam version then went "oh yeah, we're going to Steam only now" basically screwing over anyone without a Steam copy. (You can still use it but the Steam version is 3-4 updates ahead of the no-Steam version because they're not bothering to update it now. Which really makes no sense with their claim of not dropping support for the non-Steam version.) [QUOTE=FreddiRox!;44843349]we've been fine being either a boy or a girl for thousands of years so...[/QUOTE] As has already been pointed out you're outright wrong. Plus if your idea of scientific research is to go to Tumblr you're a complete idiot who seriously should just be completely ignored by everyone.
It's kind of pathetic when people take a blatant satire seriously just because it validates their worldview.
I don't have a problem with feminism and think most feminists have perfectly valid concerns and realistic understandings of what can/can't be done. I think that the extreme feminists are simply ridiculous and the overreactive mens rights activists (who usually seem to not give two shits about serious issues plaguing men and are just about reacting to feminists) are simply ridiculous, both sides end up fuelling the other sides ridiculousness. If everyone just got over themselves and accepted maybe they aren't 100% 'correct', maybe they could see each others concerns and work towards mutual understanding (and even maybe respect). I also think that the whole making fun of extreme feminists has been overdone to the point that we really should just literally ignore them. Not argue about how wrong they are, just fucking disregard them. Not to go off on a tangent, but I don't understand why when someone in many (mostly SH) threads says something wrong or dumb we have to clog the damn thread up with 3975089474 posts of people correcting them. Not furthering the point or introducing an interesting aspect that someone else forgot - but saying the exact same point just to tell them how wrong they are. Like fuck, someone already pointed out it was incorrect or a stupid reason, unless there's something else to add (eg an explaination of why it's wrong) we don't need you (or you, or you, or you) to post as well.
The new Godzilla movie was very very forgettable.

Equality is fine, i have no qualms with that and definitely support it but the domination that radical feminists want is absolutely ridiculous and they're delusional.

Regardless of what someone identifies as, if they believe women should be equal to men, they're a feminist. That's all feminism is.

I didn't really expect anyone to care, obviously I'm too arrogant and ignorant to accept this self identified gender thing, but I don't really care if someone does it. I thought I'd just share my private views.
I think The Amazing Spiderman 2 was an awesome movie.
Nintendo is fucking up in literally every aspect they can, aside from how fun their games are. It feels like they have no idea what their audience wants, and they just keep making bad decision upon bad decision. The Tomodachi Life thing was downright retarded.
