I'm going to forward this with the statement that [I]I don't give a fuck what people eat[/I], I have no quarrel with eating meat or eggs or whatever shit, I'm only currently not eating them as a dietary tactic, not as a permanent lifestyle change or a political move or whatthefuckever other reasons people do this shit for, but upon the end of the timeframe I have set up for this tactic I'm planning on returning to my eating-in-all-food-groups diet.
[I]That being said,[/I] if you're arguing the rights of animals and talking about, "how wrong it is to slay innocent creatures for food, meat is murder, etc," I think it's [I]more[/I] twisted to not eat meat but stick to eating eggs. Again, I don't care what people eat, my wife was an ovo-lacto vegetarian before we started trying out this vegan business, and I don't get mad at her, I'm not mad at anyone in particular, I'm not mad [I]at all[/I], but just in a purely theoretical sense, I feel like it's pretty sick. Like if aliens came down and were like, "hey earthlings, we're not gonna eat you, but we [I]are [/I]gonna eat your unborn children."
The thought just popped into my head and it made me laugh purely because of how fucked up it seemed. I feel like the actual alien scenario would make for a pretty funny b-movie.
If you are too sensitive, emotional or easily offended, you shouldn't be using the internet.
Like people who get pissed at everything even though there's nothing wrong with it in the first place.(like that article where the kids got to choose their costumes and the one black kid choose the monkey costume and everyone spouted out on racist that was even though the black kid chose it).

lol eggs and human fetuses are not the same though since eggs are outside the mother's body so it's not like they're performing an abortion to get the egg. However if you are veggie/vegan for ethical reasons yea you probably shouldn't eat eggs/dairy either since conditions for those animals is generally still very poor.

Also, your post is sorta related to what I said.
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;46400011]If you are too sensitive, emotional or easily offended, you shouldn't be using the internet.[/QUOTE]
Sensitive people shouldn't be barred from using one of the most useful and important inventions of the late 20th/21st century just because a bunch of spoiled teenage boys can't stop being fucking assholes.
Allllso it's entirely necessary for doing schoolwork, getting a job, communicating with people, buying/selling shit, banking, emergencies (like googling whether or not the food your pet just ate is dangerous or something).
I mean like, it takes me [I]zero[/I] effort to [I]not[/I] go and troll some sensitive person who is in their own little corner of the internet. Like, I probably saved 3 calories worth of typing and clicking by not replying to some tumblr girl's post going "lmao get over it."
[editline]3rd November 2014[/editline]
also if you're just referring to social sites and forums that's also pretty fucking dumb because nothing about those sites is inherently offensive to sensitive people.

Silly thing to say with the amount of hatred people unnecessarily spread around each other over things that aren't even offensive or controversial in the first place.
They just let themselves get overtaken and start shitstorms over petty and trivial things then go on about how the world is a terrible place when there wasn't a problem at all, only the one they created onto themselves.
Maybe I'm talking more about stupid people rather then overall internet users.
Stupid people shouldn't use the internet.
And I pretty much don't need to prove my point when everyone jumps the gun on a simple opinion, we've seen that multiple times, so I don't really understand what's dumb about it unless you're just trying to get some moral high ground which is natural in this forum.
how bout people just stop being pieces of shit instead

You can try and convince them but do you honestly think that will ever work?
It's the pathetic reality that some people will be and will always be shitheads and unfortunately there's nothing we can do to change it.

You can at least teach the younger generations to not be absolute dicks to one another.

actually u can change it lol how defeatist. Hate is learned and it can be unlearned, and it doesn't need to be taught in the first place. People aren't "just assholes" or "just bigots" or whatever. It's taught every time.

Well, technically having your identity stolen is more of a crime of identity theft instead of cyberbullying.
I don't understand why people like Return to Castle Wolfenstein so much. I've played much better "retro" shooters and just better shooters in general.

It's not like people today know certain things are wrong but still do it. It's not about hatred, so I don't know where you pulled that out from but, yes, some people are just assholes and bigots "just because". If it can be changed, where is it? Where's the change? Aren't there hundreds of campaigns out there for multiple things, for example feminism, bullying, etc, how's that working out exactly? Look at how many people go to prison but still commit crimes after leaving it and just end up going back.
"lol how defeatist", uhm ok?

Ironic too coming from you, looking at the ban list.
People really need to stop invoking and making fun of tumblr instead of formulating actual arguments. And this is coming from a person that disagrees with most of feminism and hates quite a bit of tumblr.
I've no idea whether it's bannable for me to provide quotes of people doing that shit. But open any thread about feminism, racism, etc. and you'll find somebody satirizing tumblr stereotypes. I've probably done it a few times even.
It's not even really funny anymore, the whole "I'm a deerkin transethnic pan-religious system" has kinda been run into the ground.
I think the bullying that is tolerated or even encouraged among certain tumblr communities is way worse than the communities that make up ridiculous shit about being otherkin or whatever the fuck.

Because arguing with an SJW is a waste of time, even if you make a ton of points about something and make a logical argument they will never change their beliefs. You could argue with a wall for the same amount of time that you would argue with an SJW and you would probably make more progress with the wall.
It is just easier to associate them with tumblr because it makes them really uncomfortable, which is more of a win than a long spanning argument that leads absolutely nowhere.

Don't know why you are getting so many dumbs for your post, people need to get a fucking grip honestly. If you can't handle being offended on the internet you need to take a step back and realize that in life, wherever you may be, there will be somebody who is an asshole or somebody who will offend you in some way. If you can't deal with it on the internet I have no idea how you would be able to deal with it in real life. The fact that they are so easy to upset is probably the reason why there are so many people out there who do shit to purposely get reactions out of people.
[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;46401286]lol

This has been a thing for a very very long time. There will always be dicks no matter how much you tell people to be nice to each other, you just gotta learn to live with that.
[QUOTE=Samiam22;46400331]yeah fuck all this connecting-to-the-other-side-of-the-world business and data management and what not, stuff that our daily lives are now governed by every day[/QUOTE]
Then deal with the connecting-to-the-other-side-of-the-world business and make an attempt to not take things so fucking seriously. If you can't handle that then get the fuck out. Too many things have been ruined by people who are trying to make the internet into a place where nobody can be offended, which is completely impossible. What is possible is for people to stop freaking out over non issues, and stop giving assholes attention.
People just need to take a little more personal responsibility on the internet and deal with it.

If you can teach a child to hate based on gender or race then you can teach them to not discriminate. Do you even know how learned behaviour works?

The romance bits felt forced and annoying, but I liked the dystopian and rebellion aspects of the series. It's too bad that was mostly drowned out by the romance bits.
