She’s a big 0 fan as well. I caught her on some talk show a while back and she showed a tattoo or two and that pretty much killed her appeal for me. Life is too short to worry about such.

I just think he may have realized that if he wasn’t careful, he just might get angry enough to say something “stupid”, which all human beings tend to do at one time or another, and thought it was best to shut down the account before it was too late.

Same thing with Katy perry. Used to love her stuff. Now knowing what I do, I cannot listen to it and enjoy it.

> I have no idea what guys see in Scarlett Johanssen.

She’s not appealing to me in the slightest.

I can think of only 2 reasons but her liberal bias is grating...

[Disambiguator]

Glad you appreciate her. You’re not alone.

I don't think she's all that, but others might, and I was simply pointing out why. :^)

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, you’re not the first person to mention those reasons.

She’s not alone in her bombastic Leftist beliefs as you well know, and they all grate me on those matters.

[DoughtyOne]

Okay I get it. She does have a following. Some folks like her look quite a bit.

Social Justice Warrior has become a term of derision. We, on the right, could make use of this backlash, but we probably won't because too many on our side are sissies or have a giant stick up the rear end.

The social justice warrior is a boor. He or she must turn everything into a discussion or critique to the one thing that they care about, and ignore all conventions of civil discourse to meet this end. While a predominantly leftist phenomenon, it is practiced by some in all philosophical camps.

Part of the problem is that the right has its own SJW contingent. They're just generally a smaller and less vocal group, but no less real. You can see them here on FR, just look for the tell-tale characteristics:

1) The person generally posts only on a single topic, to the point of steering other discussions back to that topic.

2) The person expresses disdain or hostility toward those who don't devote 100% of their waking hours toward the issue at hand.

3) Any disagreement with the person, even if it is simply on tactics with the same end goals, is met with hostility and an "I'm more pure than you" attitude.
