The Cranberries prior posting about the gal singer who assaulted the flight attendant and cop was the last stupid straw about posting about guilt based on looks. (Note I am not a big Cranberries fan, I have no dog in this particular hunt - it's just an example.)
I am not against posts that discuss a person's looks per se. Particularly if it factors into the issue being discussed. If it's relevant, it's relevant.
What I am objecting to are the stupid inane posts that add nothing of value to the thread and detract from the reputation of this site as being a far better place than any liberal discussion site out there.
I am just so flipping tired of idiots claiming to be conservatives posting comments of absolutely zero value about the guilt or innocence of - almost always - a female person, based solely on her looks.
It's stupid. After being done a billion times, it's not even funny. Why so-called conservatives here think this is appropriate every time a female is in a news story that has potential criminal/illegal actions, what it really is is just tiresome. It adds nothing substantive to the thread. It makes the image of this place look crass.
And it makes light of actual crimes committed by people based on if they have breasts and vaginas. And it's entirely one way. Note we do not have thousands of post replies over the years discussing the guilt or innocence of male criminals based on how good looking they are. The female conservatives here (and the pervy guys who post all the time about females) have somehow restrained themselves from any posts of this kind, yet they cannot help themselves to go this way when there's a legal controversy with a female. Then it's find a photo, and let the idiotic guilt or innocence comment postings commence.
Can we just try to keep it classy here? Do we always have to devolve to appeal to the lowest common denominator of gutter humor here when women make the news for bad behavior/crimes? Don;t we have better standards as conservatives? Having a sense of humor is important, but why is it funny that a woman is innocent or guilty because of her looks? What makes this funny? Because ugly women deserve to be locked up? Because hot women can always get out of crimes or bad behavior and ugly women can't? This is the funny stereotype these comments are playing off of?
And when the crimes are sexual crimes, as they often are, in the articles these comments surface in, why should this be made fun of? Because there aren't any negative consequences that occur to a young boy or girl when an adult female decides to satisfy their sexual urges with usually an underage boy or girl? The same stuff isn't treated lightly or humorously when an adult male does it, in fact death threat statements and the like are posted. But it's all fun and games and smart-ass humor when a woman does it.
What makes it wrong is conservatives ought to know better. They do know that there are negative consequences to teens who have sex with adults, BOTH men and women. It's not victimless only if a woman does it. It screws up their viewpoint of sex and male-female relationships. In both cases these posters KNOW that it's wrong to have an adult authority figure having sex with kids they are in positions of overseeing. It's wrong for male and female adults to look at students as potential personal sexual conquests.
This is sick behavior for a site supposedly made up of conservatives.
Not necessarily. As my Imam wrote me:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Remember, this ilm is deen. Polygamy is halal, but to marry a non-muslim is haram. When one performs the nikah, one must get the woman a wali, and perform Sufa three times. Then you are purified.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
Imam Haradi Saheb
Don’t know about that. I prefer commando, so the magic undies are pretty much out for me.
Go looking for a fag in merry old England and you’ll be pointed towards a tobacco shop or the chemist’s shop.
Language cab be quite queer at times.
Actually, I think nerf guns might be offensive to some...
I cannot do 'commando'. I end up with it coming out my pant leg and dragging down the street behind me, then the dogs start trying to play with it, and the cats chase it and pounce on it, and it's just awful.
I have it on good authority that Laz never uses anything short of a .454 Casull. Preference is the S&W .50.
Okay, that was something about Paula Deen and klaatu barada nikto, but I’m lost. Guess it’s no on the pioneer dress, yes on the burqa.
Dammit, you owe me a keyboard. I was literally laughing out loud.
Yeah, well...that magic underwear isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, so I hear.
No magic underwear under a pioneer dress. Hmmmmmm.... this is getting interesting.
;-P
Self-censorship is totally different than imposed censorship. SAM is asking for self-censorship. You know, like when you don’t tell your mother-in-law that she’s a fat slob, like you’re really thinking...
There’s a whole principle with this: Not everything I have the LIBERTY of doing is wise or good to do. A free and good society depends on the people in it making not just POSSIBLE choices but GOOD choices. It’s why the Founders said that a democratic form of government could only succeed with a moral populace. Democracy doesn’t work with Islamists.
Those who wish to mock the stupidity of the society who lets the beautiful/powerful, etc get away with everything can perhaps find a way to make sure that the stupidity of it is what resounds from their posts - ridicule/humor is fine, especially when it is clear exactly what is beinq ridiculed.
Lighten up, Francis.
Shaped foam dispensing devices.
Yes it is. In fact, you have a MORAL OBLIGATION FROM GOD to do everything you can. EVERYTHING.
I don’t mind men havinq a “coarser side”. I like men who are men.
I do mind when they act like boys should just LOVE it when they are forced into sex by an adult.
If the jokers here are tryinq to MOCK that attitude, I understand that but the sarcasm doesn’t seem to be communicated clearly, because even Freepers on this thread are actinq as if a “real” male would enjoy beinq raped...
Bloody fewmets, Laz. I wake up to a thread like this and knew from the beginning that it would be made worthy only by your attention to it. *grin* Been laughing so hard I haven’t had time even to go get the coffee -and good thing, too! I would have been one of those who needed another new keyboard from spitting up all over it with some of the comments here. :)
This is Front Page News? You’ve been here a lonng time - maybe too long. Grow a sense of humor or go over to DU where humor is unknown.
Hell, I pray for this, every single day.
Exactly.
There's a right way and a wrong way.
You don't say to the MIL "You're a fat slob."
Instead, you say to your wife "You're a fat slob, just like your mother."
The MIL will getthe point, unless she's a *STUPID* fat slob.
Good Pic. I wonder if the offendee would be equally upset at what a pommy refers to as the last bits of a smoked-out ciggie?
The term is: “Fag End”.
Seriously, mate.
