I pledge... Do you?

[Panzer_God]

There are commercials on the U.S.A. network where people talk about their reasons to fight against discrimination. I pledge because no one deserves to be treated badly for something they can't help. Do you pledge, and if so, why?

 

[grimsprice]

Oh god. Seriously? This better be a joke... but an 800 post history tells me you aren't trolling or bullshiting... gaaaaaaah.

people shouldn't have to pledge to fight against something that is inherently wrong.

Yeah but wat if the 800 post count is actually all bs'ing. honestly I just thought that commercial was amazing. I know it's kinda useless but it's a good sentimint

sounds like something I once did. but including blood. and if you failed, you died. and it wasn't on the escapist.

do I have to? it won't matter when Terra is united anyway...

Everyone does.

Directed towards the OP: Do you honestly think America would be as powerful as it is without Discrimination?

 

[APPCRASH]

No, I'm busy fighting world peace.

Fighting hippies and emo kids can be boring. At least Nazis and those people at the KKK seem like better sport.

not a chace, the only reason we have an economy worth speaking of is our former reliance on slave labor.

I pledge that I will laugh at you and mock you incessantly if you tell me, with a straight face, that your contribution to improving the human condition and the elevation of the species to a higher state of being is to make pledges against being mean.

They are also much better targets. Max: I am not suprised

Former reliance?

They (And England) still rely on it, the only difference is that now we pay our slaves a pittance to do the shit jobs that keep society going.

I honestly would not be able to keep from laughing if I said that.

Which technically means that they aren't slaves.

Yeah they shoot back instead of just harmlessly throwing flowers and passive aggressive remarks.

I prefer to use own brand wood-polish, such as Mr Sheen.

i pledge just to not look like a racist, baby eating, neo-nazi.

seriously though, i pledge because it makes me feel like i might be doing something not racist.

 

[KingPiccolOwned]

I don't know what it is, so I am pretty sure I don't do it.

 

[The_Echo]

It's human nature to put others down in order to feel superior. I won't pledge because it's impossible to get rid of. I won't participate in discrimination, as it's just dumb, but I don't start fights I can't finish.

I agree with this here.

On so many levels this is true.

I could be a jackass and mention that you made no distinction beyond implication as to what kind of discrimination you are against. Last I checked, being able to discern distinctive qualities of different individuals and objects is a sign of intelligence.

I won't take that route though, instead suggesting that you be more specific.

What pledge are you talking about? Are you pledging not to be racist? No sexism for you? Are you against all forms of discrimination? Is it the violence that you are against?

There are plenty of reasons to be against hating someone because they are different than you, but the whole pledge thing just seems childish and pointless. Kind of like this comment.

Ah well, at least I answered your question.
