    Poll: Your view on parents spanking their children?

    Violence is the resort of the unimaginative - and the lazy. There are other means to condition children, which are also doubly effective, and failure to research those means, or failure to recall/invent them, is not a justification for physical abuse. It's disgusting to act your impotence as...

    Most Shameful Example of Gamer Backlash

    Go ahead and deliberate there, that's fine - but, like I said, my personal thoughts aren't, and were not, on offer. I was honestly just criticizing the aggressive structure of your first post - that kind of thing deepens people's emotional investments in arguments which you know don't need any...

    The single most destructive phrase...

    Women are [insert literally any logically sensible word/words here].

    Most Shameful Example of Gamer Backlash

    "I don't like how the executive producer says that we are going to want to 'protect' Lara, nor the fact that they are using rape as a subtext for her character growth." Response: You might be overreacting. Social realities exist - if using a female character makes them more sympathetic, then...

    Poll: What is your nationality?

    >Belgium >Netherlands >Anglosphere How's academic geography in The Bahamas? Edit: I think this is the first time Belgium's been on a list without France.

    Poll: Daniel Tosh threatens Woman with Gang Rape

    "I, for one, DON'T find them funny", therefore: "rape jokes are never funny"? Uh, a crowd of laughing audience might have given you a, sort of, objective measure to the contrary there, madam. If it inspires laughter, it's funny. I don't get how you people believe you've the right to enforce...

    What does it take to scare you?

    Nothing, really. I don't mean that in a sort of 'No fear! Fight the Corpocracy!'-sense, but more in that I just get too apathetic. The only thing I'm really afraid of is something I do several times every day, and that's wasting my life, or doing anything that is second in importance to what I...

    Just because she isn?t saying no doesn?t mean she is saying yes

    You could help yourself a lot by doing some more research. These persons, institutions, you're naming, are not contemporary. I asked you to name any institution which was so active in having men elevated in their standing, and all made to wither under them. There's none of it, not any more -...

    Just because she isn?t saying no doesn?t mean she is saying yes

    They don't quite so much get the doors opened for them any more, though, do they? Who are these active campaigners for the progress of the straight white male, seeing to it that they get theirs doors opened wheresoever they roam? No one really seems to be capable of naming these institutions...

    what would you make Earth's official language?

    I'm with this guy, except don't call it Terran - let the linguists decide what to call it.

    Holy crap, folks...this one's a doozy...

    Back to the mother. What does the legal institution of parenthood mean if it can be overturned on a point of sentiment?

    When's the last time you had sex?

    Wow... It would be almost six months ago now. Fuck.

    She wants you. Get in there.

    Self Improvement, Sexism

    She's probably an idiot, like you suspect, but that's just going to leave the concern that you'll each believe you're smarter than the other. On another point, I worry you might have a skewed idea of what sexism actually includes. Socially reinforced, behavioural dichotomies do exist, and...

    Fictional Psychopaths

    ITT: No one has a fucking clue what a psychopath is, and people think a sociopath is something different, and then people disagree with me before checking any sources. 'Sociopath' is a colloquial term and its division from 'Psychopath' has never been decided, as the distinction is made...
