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.
Must have been on “Double Secret Probation.”
If that were true, rape victims would simply get punched in the face.
What’s the matter, you don’t like pretty gals????
No. To take the most intimate part of a person aqainst their will is a totally different level of violation.
I pray to be raped (by a woman) every single day.
Travis and I are friends IRL, he ain't likely to be your hall monitor. LOL
That was just stupid. LOLAY
You too, eh? This person has no place being a mod IMHO
(by the way, Napoleon just farted)
Upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely
he's lonely still
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago
Oh yeah
I kept getting logged out, too. I thought it was a computer problem on my end, LOL.
/naive
I just realized I am old enough to know what that picture is, and who the leg belongs to.
Here’s to you, central_va!! ;)
Be careful what you wish for.....
Well, how else does one determine the guilt of a female without a picture?
Besides, if you ban the only form of legitimate guilt determination for a female, then next thing you know FR will be forced to revoke the rule that pictures of Catherine Zeta-Jones MUST be posted in any article that mentions Maureen Dowd.
Apparently Vanities are now News/Activism.
You don’t know Laz. He prides himself on having no standards. Grin.
My personal favorite.
Good to see you back.
Now, about that thirty year old rock video you posted........
Not your computer. Kind of odd though, you started posting after the post restorations.
IS somebody less of a man than you if they DON’T want to be raped, by anybody?
My ex-sister-in-law was repeatedly raped by family members. She became a slut (behavior-wise) because she thouqht it was the only thinq she could do “riqht”. She joked about sex, but it was a cover for very real pain. Sometimes sex hurts, even when we lauqh about it.
But this is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let’s not arque and bicker about WHO KILLED WHO...
