    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    ITT Why does she need all that money? It's not just women who are stereotyped, so like, why doesn't she do something else with her time? I mean, she's probably a slut anyway. The joke is, she no longer gives a fuck. You know what the benefit of crowd sourcing your funding is? You're not...

    Cop Tasers Fleeing Handcuffed Girl, Head injuries put her in vegetative state

    Statistically safest option my ass. She was already handcuffed. If he didn't have the taser, he would have resorted to a less violent means of detaining her. I have no idea how you calculated 'a million to one' as the probability of cracking your head on the ground when you're tasered with your...

    Cop Tasers Fleeing Handcuffed Girl, Head injuries put her in vegetative state

    Case in point; tasers can be just as lethal as firearms. This wasn't an inescapable accident. She was running away, high, in handcuffs. The cop could have judged that she wouldn't have been able to catch herself as she fell, but because the taser is being lauded as the "non lethal answer to the...

    If you were to worship a fictional God who would you choose?

    R'hllor's a massive douche nozzle. The weirwood's where it's at, girl. (Also, song of ice and fire, not game of thrones) #pedanticnerd

    It's only sexist when Men do it?

    He makes some interesting points, but he seems like he has a bit of a victim complex. "Do men have no rights?" I think true feminists and humanists would respect women too much to support this sort of behaviour. But the change has to come from women. His premise is the dichotomy of men...

    Vegetarians - why?

    Sorry, I was just responding to your patronising comments with my own remarks. I think I can see where we disagree and it's in your disregard for the suffering of animals. Just tell me you don't care and this would be easier to sort out. I think we can both agree that animals who are factory...

    Vegetarians - why?

    Wow, that's a lot of long words you used there buddy, did you bust out the thesaurus to write that one? The reason I'm not going through proper source citations is because I'm arguing with you on the internet, not writing a dissertation. You know exactly where your meat comes from do you? That's...

    Vegetarians - why?

    You're really an amateur. A patronising amateur that's just learnt what the word "straw-man" means and is in the practice of disregarding sources. What's wrong with you? "no cow has ever stood up", of course they haven't, because they're cows and can't talk. Of course I'm citing...

    Vegetarians - why?

    Yeah, because you just eat one cow a year and nothing else.

    Vegetarians - why?

    Sorry, but the person I was replying to wasn't talking about pest control, the term he used was "being run over by a combine harvester". The distinction I'm making is about regarding animals as property. Pest control doesn't fit into that category since there is still a degree of liberty and the...

    Vegetarians - why?

    Wow man, so you're equating unintentionally running over small animals with a combine harvester and keeping cows in cages or growing veal or grinding up chicks into feed? I know you probably pride yourself in being able to isolate your emotions where you can compare harvesting a plant and...

    Vegetarians - why?

    I imagine you hunt all your food, right? I'm fine with that. If you're living way off the grid and killing animals for food, then that's great. I'm not sure how you're using the internet, but good on you. If, and I suspect this is probably the case, you live in an urban environment, then that's...

    Vegetarians - why?

    Right on dude! A lot of the more cognitively dissonant people in this thread probably read your post and muttered something about bleeding heart liberals, but I agree with you all the way. Fuck those selfish assholes that would torture and end lives for a sandwich.
