Nutella is fucking disgusting. And then there's people that just eat it straight out of the container? eugh

I believe stereotypes are based off truth.
Gone Home is a game, and not the worst one out there.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;45733159]Some are, they just get taken too seriously and are usually exaggerated as fuck.[/QUOTE] That's true, some people can't tell the difference between acknowledging stereotypes and just being plain ignorant. However it's almost downright impossible to be completely open minded, we'll always subconsciously judge people off stereotypes before they get a chance to show us who they really are. Such is life.
Don't let Facepunch talk about black teenagers getting shot down. They'll find out the poor bastard robbed a bank that day.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;45729080]Weddings, funerals, baby showers etc. are a waste of time and money.[/QUOTE] Weddings and babyshowers no, funerals yes A funeral is the act of spending tens of thousands on a service to nobody's benefit that nobody wants to go to. I've already left instructions to cremate my corpse as cheaply as possible, mix the ashes with tar and strong rum, set the whole mess ablaze and use the money meant for the funeral service for whatever.
Kotor 1 is a classic, but its ending was a mediocre copy of Episode IV's ending. [QUOTE=asteroidrules;45733161]Gone Home is a game, and not the worst one out there.[/QUOTE] Home (2D side-scrolling, mystery/thriller-esque) is also a game, but it's fucking boring.
Pinkerton was 100% better than Blue, purely because of Tired of Sex. [video=youtube;cu2Dsnvk6M0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu2Dsnvk6M0[/video]
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;45729997]So let people do what they want and judging them for spending it even on one in a lifetime occasions is [B]pathetic[/B].[/QUOTE] Sheesh, man. I like to argue things because I get to talk to people and understand their point of view - you don't have to act like that. I'm not judging people as stupid - I just see the social norm itself as stupid. The problem I have is that the social norm for a wedding is to make it "the best day of your life" and to blow all kinds of money on that. Maybe the wedding [I]shouldn't[/I] be the best day of someone's life, or maybe it should but not because of atmosphere or anything. You know what would be cool? Spending that money on travelling. That'd be awesome. Or, hey, building a future with each other! Anything, really. The wedding itself has been glorified as the one most important day of a person's life, and I'm not seeing it. Then again, I have a problem with the idea of a big... anything, really. Not that I have a poor self-esteem or anything, but I don't see the importance of making a big event around me and whoever I'm marrying. It's a big deal between us, yeah, but that's really where it should end. I don't need to crank out the doves, dress my entire family in tuxedos, and take over an expensive ballroom to announce to everyone that I love my significant other and take vows for her. I've always lived my entire life with people who struggle for money - both in my family and in my community here in Vegas - and I just don't see that money going to good use simply for one day. It's one day out of one's life, but that doesn't mean you need to spend a fortune on it.
Sensitive people shouldn't have things sugarcoated for them, they should get the harsh truth like we all do, they need to learn and grow.
It depends on what it is, an you have to remember the effect you can have on troubled people.
I don't like to call people ugly. Insulting people for their genetics is kind of shitty in my opinion. (I will still call people who have plastic surgeried their faces to shit like Mike Jeffries and act like assholes - again, like Mike Jeffries - ugly though)
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;45731952]The problem is that the radical left doesn't exist in either the US or the UK. I wouldn't call the Republicans or UKIP 'radical' right but I would consider both extremely far right. As a result of the left being a non entity, there is functionally no benefit to fighting/arguing against it[/QUOTE] theres communists, anarchists and that in the united states but thankfully they've never gotten much power or influence. i don't think they've managed to get very many elected representatives, if at all, and they haven't been a force in pretty much any social movement.
Soccer moms are a bigger scourge to society than the WBC or KKK could ever be.
I've found that having a radical opinion isn't really bad, it's more of how that radical opinion is expressed. I like certain political aspects that aren't necessarily liked by the general US (certain aspects of communism and socialism), and I test as a radical liberal.

I am not unbearable to be around.

I've already left instructions to cremate my corpse as cheaply as possible, mix the ashes with tar and strong rum, set the whole mess ablaze and use the money meant for the funeral service for whatever.[/QUOTE] A funeral ain't the most fun thing in the world to go to, but you're paying your respects to a dear family member or friend who has died. I will agree that the prices for a funeral are insane (I think we had to spend around $10k when my Nana passed away in February), but insinuating that it's a waste of time? That's just offensive if you ask me.
People that live nowhere near the whole Ferguson thing that are getting involved with it are idiots. You can't do anything other than blog, tweet and post your hate against the police which does F-A. You need to stop.
we're only expressing opinions
[QUOTE=AcidGravy;45733137]I believe stereotypes are based off truth.[/QUOTE] this confuses me to no end if something is not based off truth it's not a stereotype (a stereotype is just a terribly oversimplified, often offending view of a group of people, but still based on truth)
99% of teenagers lack the ability to grow decent facial hair, and thus would look so much better if they were just clean shaven.
The internet aristocrat is worse than thunderf00t.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;45738560]The internet aristocrat is worse than thunderf00t.[/QUOTE] ah, that beautifully written description of how they're bad has completely persuaded me to agree with you. Also is the internet aristocrat really meant to be taken all too seriously? It just sounds like he's fucking around and having fun with his videos. I mean he starts off pretty much every single one talking about how he's is an evil oppressive white man.

And he and the people who watch him certainly seem to think most of his shit should be taken seriously.
