--- Quote from: McZealot on February 04, 2017, 10:33:42 PM ---This post actually made me laugh uncontrollably. Like, people aren't pissed over the tip. They're pissed because HE LEFT A HOMOPHOBIC MESSAGE AND SLUR OVER THE NOTE THEN PRETENDED HE DIDN'T TIP AT ALL AND BLAST THIS OVER THE INTERNET. What the hell?! --- End quote --- The gay dude who eats multiple black richards nightly left homophobic remarks on a receipt. Obviously it wasn't seriois, and I'd be more concerend with the tip considering my background as a long time waiter and bartender. --- Quote from: Doughboy on February 04, 2017, 10:55:50 PM ---who are u? --- End quote --- I'm the dude. |

--- Quote from: SeventhSandwich on February 03, 2017, 03:43:19 AM ---it's literally just as easy to pull up anecdotes about crazy things that conservatives/libertarians/greens/etc believe. The vast majority of liberals don't actually believe those things, and the people who do are confined to the ultra-liberal SJW circles that normal people can't stand. There are dozens of millions of liberals in this country, and it's statistically impossible that there aren't radicals in a group that large. If you're looking to confirm your biases against them, you will always be able to find anecdotes that support your beliefs. --- End quote --- As much as I generally disagree with you politically, that's a pretty great point. The entire left is not calling for assassination, etc. Not even close to a majority either. Trying to reaffirm an existing confirmation bias against the entire left via recent events is a shame because there are legitimate ways to deconstruct and destroy bad leftist arguments and ideas with logic. |

--- Quote from: SeventhSandwich on February 04, 2017, 10:42:16 PM ---See but that's not brown townogous. This would be like if a black person went online and trolled people by acting like a kool kids klub member/national socialist. It's not any less inflammatory, infantile, and stupid just because the hate speech isn't genuinely what they believe. --- End quote --- For the last time, no matter how loud you scream into your pillow everynight, milo isnt a national socialist, or any equivalent. But this groupthink mentality sure is interesting. --- Quote from: SeventhSandwich on February 04, 2017, 10:38:28 PM ---He probably doesn't mean it, but it's definitely evidence that he's just an attention-starved child in the body of a homoloveual man. --- End quote --- This is the same logic fat people give on why they think the "poster patriarchy" are so thin. 'Oh they're just anorexic' [proceeds to consume pastry isle]. 'Oh, he's just attention seeking' [proceeds to live lonely, antisocial life]. Maybe, just maybe, this is fun for a rich man to do? Visit and tour america while speaking your personal politics, and stir the pot and watch as people go loving full (ironically enough) fascist, and try to shut it down for no good reason. Sounds like one hell of a time to me. |
