The Oldiesfreak Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts III

Metal usually sounds good, so obviously that song's not metal...

He's right.

QFT.

[Keystone Phil]

Metal either sounds like someone mowing the lawn or some little kid throwing a temper tantrum by banging on silverware.

You misspelled 'emoviolence'.

Girls, girls, let me solve this: both suck.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

As a whole I agree, but I've heard some good metal here and there. I've never heard good emoviolence.

The first isn't bad, but it still isn't good either. The second is awful.

Band known for very complex song structures. Great rebuttal to anyone who calls emoviolence "just noise". Of course that's also the band that epitomized Tumblr leftism so strongly pre-Tumblr they used "Humyn" in one of their song titles.

I was baptized and confirmed in the Greek Orthodox Church, which apparently means I can visit Mount Athos if I want to (restricted to Orthodox males over 18).

Are cell phones allowed there? If so it'd be a great place to play Ingress.

[Zanas]

Sorry bro but I have to do this. I know you would do the same for me.

How so, exactly? To the contrary, I'd think that if a prostitute has the possibility to denounce her clients and pimps, this can put her on a much stronger position against potential abuses and mistreatment.

[Lief 🗽]

ummmm

Tin-eared white people at it again in this thread.

It's outrageous to think that the Civil Rights movement was about "ending racism", it was about dismantling structural barriers that created a racial caste system. Only a fool would think that racism can be ended or eradicated, especially when we have a incarceration system that systematically imprisons African-American men and a state of political discourse that allows racial caricatures to be deployed whenever necessary.

When will you admit that you’re a Latino supremacist?

[Ban my account ffs!]

He's a Lapremacist.

He's a Lapremacist.

Copyright that right now .

I really doubt he's a "Latino Supremacist".  Probably just sensitive to what he perceives as borderline white supremacy.

The concept that white people cannot talk about race is racist in itself. It shuts down debate, and he has time and time again defended his arguments only on the basis of his skin color. If that’s borderline white supremacy, then I can’t fathom what 2011 actually racist Sanchez was.

I don't think this nor understand where you picked this up from: I don't think white people on this forum or in broader society tend to have any real comprehension of how racist our society is nor do they want to admit it. If you actually attempted to refute my assertions with anything of substance, you'd realize this but apparently you're too busy shedding crocodile tears.

basically just screamed and yelled about everything and thought everything was tyrannical and opposed war before supporting it

I get the sense that if I pretended I was white my posts wouldn't be as infuriating to Republicans...

It would actually be even more infuriating. Hypocritical white assholes who get on their soapbox to lecture people who have more important things to be thinking about as to how they should be sorry for their 'privilege', when of course the very same people will most likely have lived the same privileged existence. Take some advice, if people from minorities find this sort of thing 'tin-eared' and hurtful, they should grow a thicker skin and stop whining. It is perfectly acceptable in our society to insult a ginger person for 'having no soul', or to insinuate that every Roman Catholic is a paedophile who lurks in a confessional box waiting to molest choir boys. Blacks, homosexuals and other 'oppressed' minorities need to grow up and realise that, yes, people can be insensitive, or deliberately hurtful, but that in the end that is not and should not be a crime. Threatening someone is, blackmailing them is, but not making an insensitive joke or a slip of the tongue. Do you really think racism (and sexism and all the other 'isms' and phobias) will be reduced by having a hissy fit every time someone makes a comment like this, a clue: no. It will be reduced by not forcing people to constantly be on edge, fearing that they will lose their career and prospects and then held up to media ridicule if they make an insensitive or hurtful remark.

Now, I'm a very privileged person, at least by global standards. But I'm not shutting up because of this.

List of my top three favorite things the internet has invented:

1) gifs
2) white tears
3) high definition streaming pornographic videos

white tears were not invented by the internet, silly

Wow. Those poor white people who "lose their career and prospects and then held up to media ridicule" for being racist... It's so sad.

[Cassius]

White tears? Really? That's a pretty weak joke.

Anyway, to Mr. Cavaliere, it is sad that people lose their jobs over a few ill-chosen words. I don't really see what is so terribly controversial about that.

3) high definition streaming pornographic videos

Where do you get high definition ones for free?  I see mostly rather fuzzy ones.
