Well, happy to be a monster then

Boko Haram and the kidnpping of the school girls
Could be. Looks good if the people of Nigeria are rising up against the scourge of Boko Haram, rather than foreign troops. I guess it'd just be information as they were warned in advance, and no risk of some US/British soldier dying or getting hurt so win-win that way.

Board has a lot of Euros, they eat that stuff up it seems. Anyway, the Internet in general has a lot of abuse, which in a way I don't mind - crap on a screen doesn't make me want to weep or feel dehumanized. But I guess the lesson is that some victims of it are more special than others.

Boko Haram and the kidnpping of the school girls
Meh, hardly reprehensible, nothing sacred about people looking sad and holding up signs. Though I suppose it was effective, leaders love good PR like saving kids. I did get a laugh out of a strip club closing in Toronto and a commenter posted "#bringbackourgirls :(", heh.

The Funny Things Thread.
Rough neighbourhood perhaps. Think the dog got put down, too, but I still wonder what ticked him off to attack the kid. Not a cat person myself, so all this cat praise in the news is irritating

Well people that will kill or have killed people are already handled by laws, so no need to handle that specially. Don't want to fall into some thought-crime type stuff where you look at someone and then say they will probably do something bad so better jail them first. I get the sense BruceVC would probably jail people who post sexist things online or catcall a woman on the street. I am not in the USA, am in Canada. But the US idea of free speech is nice, the state won't toss you in jail but the citizen next to you might take exception to your call to "hang the darkies" or whatever and tell you what for and that is fine.

And somewhere someone has classed you as the same that need to be "removed" from society. Price of freedom is hearing dumb stuff now and then, and all.

Wow thats an unnecessarily rude and dismissive comment Drowsy This whole thread is basically about social justice issues. If you really have an issue with someone indirectly responding to you than rather don't comment at all. You do have the rest of forum to discuss what you want. But on this thread we don't have an issue where someone challengers our opinion What's wrong with being rude and dismissive ? You're that way plenty of times - see the Ukraine thread.

Well then, no need to apologize. Not too sure of where you are getting this impression or what points I've 'intentionally misinterpreted' with respect to feminist arguments, but you can certainly labour under it.- Female gamers having a hard time in gaming communites
Uhm ok, what preconceptions do I have exactly from that post ? I never said anyone here said the argument, but it's what I've read in certain places and related to Bruce's post that Orugon01 was quoting in his response and to Orugon's post as well.- Female gamers having a hard time in gaming communites
Wait until they find the hot women thread....- Female gamers having a hard time in gaming communites
Yep, it's Bruce's alt. And I think Bruce is attracted to being a Social Justice Warrior (god, how I hate this term) because of his idealistic outlook, not out of any kind of man-hating. Yeah I definitley don't hate my own sex. I just feel we, men, need to do much more to address the scourage of abuse both physical and verbal that women are subjected to in many aspects of society I thought the whole point of women emancipating themselves was so that they would do all the stuff that we do. Either women and men are equal or do men have a privilege? Cause it always seem that the privilege conveniently presents itself to make up for some woman's shortcomings. Well, the argument goes that men will listen to men more than they will women so that's why men have to be, heh, "allies" and convince their fellow men to treat women in The Right Way, and so on. At least that's what I've read here and there.- Diablo 3 new patch
