Is it just me

Or does that kind of look like JG?

Nepsotic 01-14-2013 09:51 PM

It is JG, that's why he hasn't been here for ages. He's been fighting for feminism.

That person in the photo is doing her cause more harm than good 'cause what she's saying is provocative. It's that way of thinking by some campaigners which makes me have mixed feelings about feminism - And I hate discrimination while supporting equality.

Bullet Magnet 01-15-2013 08:09 AM

Not a lot gets done without provocation.

DarkHoodness 01-15-2013 08:38 AM

... And this is why I'm mostly silent here. :P

True, but you risk damaging what you stand for when you act that way - Those who are clueless or neutral may even turn against you. It isn't a sensible way of doing stuff.

There's a thing in atheism going on between the sensitivity and firebrand, and it seems that there is room and need for both approaches. But no matter what you do you're never going to reach everyone and there are certain groups that you know you can write off as lost causes from the start. No matter what you do they'll be whining and complaining and there is simply no sense in wasting any grain of pearls on those particular swine.

the simple fact is, though, without provocation you are easy to ignore. And people will say "sure, we agree, we'll get to that" but nothing will ever happen. You have to make it consciously as much of an issue as it really is.

Self-righteous aggressive atheists are still as annoying as fuck though.

Vyrien 01-15-2013 10:17 AM

Self-righteous aggressive anything is annoying as fuck.

Bullet Magnet 01-15-2013 10:17 AM

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm in the firebrand category above.

Nepsotic 01-15-2013 10:19 AM

A self-righteous aggressive athiest?

Manco 01-15-2013 10:21 AM

Sounds half as vile as a pony fucker.

Nepsotic 01-15-2013 10:27 AM

:( That's Ponophobic. It's simply another sexual orientation.
Anyway, not all athiests are like that. I respect people's beliefs, even though they are fucking stupid.

STM 01-15-2013 10:28 AM

People should just not broadcast everything about themselves to people who don't give a fuck. To be entirely honest, I care very little about people I'm not friends or family with. Ergo, I don't give two shits whether they're LGBT, KKK, atheist or Zoroastrian.

Actually...I wouldn't mind hearing about a Zoroastrian.

Pretend he's joking even if he's not.

Manco 01-15-2013 10:43 AM

But he’s not funny.

MeechMunchie 01-15-2013 11:14 AM

I laughed.

But not in a good way.

OANST 01-15-2013 11:25 AM

I jerked off. In a good way.

Nepsotic 01-15-2013 11:37 AM

You like that stuff? I've got some material, if you're interested.

Freddie Mercury was one.

Nepsotic 01-15-2013 12:53 PM

Is it silly? is it as silly as Scientology?

Jordan 01-15-2013 01:19 PM

And there we have it, the topic is no longer about feminism.

crying tears of blood

I agree with hedjeroo, that girl is one special snowflake.

It's, uh, the oldest ditheistic religion in the world.

Manco 01-15-2013 01:28 PM

a theism to di for

Bullet Magnet 01-15-2013 02:05 PM

Zoroastrianism is as silly as Scientology insofar as all religions are equally ridiculous and the only difference that instils any sort of reverence is age. It's certainly more interesting than Scientology, which is simple and transparent from top to bottom.

But back to feminism.

Objection. Regardless of how they were founded, a religion is a historical expression of culture. The only thing Scientology is expressive of is a sort of collective psychoses brought about by a combination of ennui and celebrity worship.

Also, Professor of Philosophy, James Carmine, believes contemporary feminism to be a pseudoreligion.*

TANGENT RELEVANT

*I make no personal commitment to that claim.

T-nex 01-15-2013 02:47 PM

Uh... God.. I can't leave you people alone for more than a day, huh <.< Do go back on topic please. Otherwise I'll kill you all. Remember, there's plenty of room in Neppy's blog for spamming.

That's a different value judgement.

He lost me as soon as he went on his anti-PC rant, which bore all the hallmarks of a butthurt academe who was called out on some offensive bullshit that he thinks he should be able to say without any sort of consequence, personal, professional or otherwise.
