I learned that feminists go batshit crazy when you dismantle their points with logic.

It's their kryptonite. Same with PETA.

And Fox News.

And the Occupy Wall Street people.

...Pretty much anybody who's obnoxiously confrontational about their opinions.

Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten.

If you are going to replace the part of the piping for your house, don't dig out the pipes haphazardly, as some of the piping may still be good (I swear my uncle has no common sense).

Apparently, Touhou must have some male characters, and even more surprisingly, some fans who aren't crazy about yuri.

Nope on both accounts.
edit: Does cloud guy count as a male?

Well, presumably somebody in that camp likes straight sex, unless doujin artists were just trying to branch out to new audiences or something.

If no one ever complains then there would never have been change. We live in an era where we barely have come out of the civil rights victories so you can't understand the attitude of these people (I may be young, but I grew up in another country where you can still get killed for having an opinion), but without people willing to take to the streets for something, anything, this country wouldn't have progressed much at all. I may not agree with everything the feminists say and I may not know what the hell the Occupy movement stands for, but their strength of character to stand up and say something is noteworthy of respect, not disdain like you have shown for them.

« Je ne suis pas d’accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai pour que vous ayez le droit de le dire. »

One of my favourite Voltaire quotes.... It is still sad that those who seem to have the most illogical and/or simply untrue opinions are somehow able to preach the loudest....

How much of the Occupy stuff did you watch? Even if a few of them had nice ideals, the majority of those people didn't do anything the least bit courageous or worthy of respect. They had plenty of outrage but most couldn't even say what they were outraged at, and none of them had solutions (aside from demanding the federal government pay their student loans). A lot of those people were drunk or high while they were out there. They weren't affecting change. They were toting vaguely-worded protest signs, sitting in drum circles, making up a shitty pointless sign language, dressing up in weirdo costumes, throwing stuff through store windows and shitting on cop cars. They hurt a lot of businesses, pissed off a lot of people, and cost taxpayers a lot of money. That does not earn my respect.

Outrage just for the sake of outrage is pointless. It accomplishes nothing. Civil disobedience doesn't work when it's uncivil. They were out there hurting their own cause when they should've been discussing real helpful ideas. There are town meetings constantly; senators read emails from their constituents, and some of them would probably be game-changers if people would vote for them. There are so many possible avenues to make your voice heard and influence the government, the idea that they think wreaking havoc and hurting people is somehow necessary just seriously disturbs me.

So let's just be passive instead and let the government do whatever the fuck they want without so much as raising a fuss, is what you're saying. Complacency like this is exactly the reason that government can keep pushing their agenda and change, because people like you don't want to say anything in fear of being criticized over not having a perfect plan before going out there.

And has it ever occurred to you that the media, which is controlled by government, would cast these people in a bad light? Think about it a little deeper...

I learned that canned tuna is awesome!
Wait... did I really have to learn that? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The 99% is 98% idiots.

I learned that while doing a lot quality work does not compensate for not reading the directions

No.

As I said, there are plenty of avenues for change that don't involve hurting people and making an ugly scene we're all ashamed of. We've got enough to be ashamed of already.

We don't live in a locked-down police state. Opinions can be heard, and better yet respected, without raising a big stink.

Pretty much. The remaining 1% just sound like idiots, so nobody listens to them. Good ideas are never recognized in their time. It's usually because idea people are lousy PR people, and vice versa.

The events of the few past years tell me otherwise.
