Oh, I know a good & controversial one.
Remember, kids, it's never, ever OK to hate someone for the way they were born. Even if you don't like the way they were born, there's nothing they can do about it, and anyway doing that is bigotry and can lead to things like the holocaust. Never do it, EVER...
Oh, except to paedophiles. Yeah, it's totally OK to hate them, even though they were born like that and there's nothing they can do. They're all evil monsters who need to die.
(Note to anyone who doesn't know: paedophilia is the term for sexual attraction towards kids, not for the actual molestation of children as much of the media would have you believe.)

The Retake Mass Effect crowd. A movement built and sustained on double standards.
RME: Everyone who disagrees with us is either stupid or bought by EA!
Person: What about the people supporting Retake who went and filed a complaint with the FTC, sent in death threats and demanded money they gave to charity back because it wasn't going to changing the ending?
RME: That's not fair! You're generalizing us like everyone else!
RME: The EA-bought media doesn't like the fact that we have a different opinion!
Person: Uh... I actually liked the ending.
RME: OMG UR SUCH A RETARD! I BET YOU LIKE BAY MOVIES AS WELL, COD-KIDDIE FAG!
RME: This ending ruined everything!
Person: What about the ending to *insert bad ending here* that you probably were mocking other people for getting upset about?
RME: Well Mass Effect was SPESHUL
RME: I can't believe some people are calling us entitled! How unprofessional...
Person: What are your thoughts on Bioware?
RME: BUCHA FAGGOTS CORPORATE WHORES CASEY HUDSON SUCKS COCKS IN HELL.
Also, the whole religion thing. Obviously. I recently learned that Catholic Civil Rights groups were an real, actual "no, we're not kidding" thing. There were no words to describe the facepalms... no words at all. Hell, any group with a persecution complex just pisses me off.

I believe I know why there is a double standard when it comes to sluts. It's easy for a girl to do it, and it's really hard for a guy to do it.Vault101 said:
That's why we (I hope it's not just me) use some toilet paper to clean that off the seat. We pee with the seat up though, so that's kind of beside the issue. I put the seat down out of habit, but how exactly is it smart to not look where you're about to sit? That's how woopie coushions became popular.Chemical Alia said:
Have you ever worked in retail? It's common for ugly girls to be walking through with their kids. Honestly, a woman doesn't have to be a 10 to get laid. They tend to be more selective though. Some girls unfortunately go for anything that comes along because they don't think they have a chance with most guys. Stop that. You're beautiful and don't let anyone tell you different. I know I almost went off topic but it was all in the point.Phasmal said:

Topic is about Double standards of all kinds, including how some people defend their beliefs.
It is apt to discuss these things.
Now you're confusing evolution and abiogenesis. Natural selection is what causes evolution, abiogenesis is a theory concerning the origination of the first lifeforms.Duskflamer said:
I don't really blame you though, it seems to be a common mistake, as well as one that unfortunately tends to start ridiculous discussions on it's own.
I'm not saying they have to be a ten to get laid, but people saying its really easy for women seem to think that any guy will be willing to shag any willing girl, which is just darn silly.TheMightyAtrox said:
Men have standards and preferances just like women do. Nobody is everybody's cup of tea.
At first, yes, but a lot of it ended up as just a pissing contest.malestrithe said:
Anyhow, as for the actual topic:
why is it okay for minorities to be racist?
Speaking more of this topic, in fiction, if a white girl is perfect in every way, she's a mary sue. If a non white girl is perfect in every way, she's a revolutionary character.
When women pee sitting down it's totally okay, but when I do it I'm a pansy?
Fuck you, it was designed to sit on so I'm sitting on it.

vile creatures. your move...
If you do get it working, here's my card...
Why are we even having a battle of creepypasta fan art again? Just asking
The universe came from a dot. Sure. Where did the dot come from? Science has no clue last time I checked, but that doesn't automatically make it god.theheroofaction said:
The "theory" of relativity is accepted not because it came from Einstein, but because it is easily observed in our every day lives. Without it, GPS satellites would not work.
I KNEW I wasn't hallucinating when the pot insulted the kettle. You raise a good point, we should try to stop our pots insulting all our kitchen supplies. Equality for all pots, pans and kettles!
Now to add one of my own. With siblings, sibling A can do something like, say, go out and spend a fortune in a club. Sibling B spends a little more than intended (and nowhere near the amount sibling A spent) and gets chewed out for it.
What kind of men have you shared a bathroom with? They need to get a laser sight attachment, because it's really not hard for me to aim the thing.Chemical Alia said:
A flashlight attachment would come in handy at night...
Unfortunately, there's a lot of double standards.
Frankly, far too many people I meet are perfectly okay with something if it benefits them, but utter hypocrites ten minutes later.
To be blunt, I see most of the double standards when I deal with women, though by no stretch of the imagination are any race, color, or creed innocent.
Controversial one?
I saw a group of 'african-american teens' gathered in front of my place of work, where Loitering is in fact illegal and posted so.
When I told them to leave, there of course was a storm of complaints and demands for explanation, and of course the Race Card. Thing is, they know it's not racist. They know it's nothing to do with it. They claim it as a cheap, bullshit power play to get their way.
Here's the double standard I hate the most:
"You can't judge me just by my chosen appearance and how I act!"
In the above example:
a) this particular group had chosen to dress and act as close to the media stereotype of criminals as they could.
b) they were committing a crime (Loitering)
c) due to a) and c) they are actively frightening other customers and their children.
So, Double Standard: No one can judge *them* by their appearance...but if you attempt to enforce a clearly posted law, *you* are judged as a Racist.

(I'm running out of creepy Adventure Time fanart! Actually, I have run out. Why is there such a deluge of MLP scary fan stuff, whereas the MORE messed up show gets barely any! Guess it's because of the innocence of MLP)
People who will go home after work or spend a majority of their days off watching hours upon hours of garbage on t.v.- but will tell ME I am wasting MY life because I play a couple of hours of video games during some of my free-time. Makes me feel all ragey inside.
I never said he took his social ques from porn, just that I wouldn't know how to respond to somebody who did do that. Get off your high horse.team star pug said:
