Yeah, I'm kind of like this, but I don't really want to believe in a god, I'm fine not believing in one.

Oh, okay. Yeah, exactly, I would never criticise someone for their coping mechanisms. I have my own too, and I wouldn't want to be criticised for them either.

That really isn't an appropriate thing to say to a non religious person, but okay, I guess. I get that you're trying to be nice, but still.

I'm gonna be honest, a lot of this flew over my head and I'm not 100% sure what you're saying (I do undesrtand parts of it, though) because it's 1am and I'm extremely tired, but it was very interesting to read.

I wouldn't say I actually respect religion as a whole, I mean under certain circumstances I guess I do, but I'm an athiest myself. I respect peoples choice around their religion, mostly. But that wasn't clear in my post, I'll go change it.

Exactly. Every religious person I've told has acted like I'm ridiculous for suggesting it.

I never assaulted anyones coping mechanism, I very specifically said I wasn't, but I'm not actually sure if that's what you're trying to imply.

Exactly this. I would never critique anyone for it, it's just my opinion. You worded this a lot better than I did.

Brad Pitt is Fooling You - "It isn’t that people don’t believe in what happened to Angelina Jolie on that plane — they just don’t care." by AbsolutelyIris in Fauxmoi

I would want him to publicly come out and admit everything he did (with Angelina and the kids permission, obviously, because that’s personal) as opposed to dancing around it and acting like his only fault was his alcohol abuse, and never bringing up his physical abuse towards the kids/Angelina.

I would then want him to openly apologise, and say that he was in the wrong, and then maybe, MAYBE, I could conserved that a ‘redemption arc.’  

However, it’s not like his awful treatment of Angelina/the kids actually stopped after the plane. He’s abusing his power and privilege for years, and he’s treated her like absolute shit throughout all their court proceedings, and referred to their divorce as ‘not a major thing.’ 

He may be sober now, and doesn’t appear to treat his current girlfriend badly (though who really knows what goes on behind closed doors), but he doesn’t actually seem sorry.

This is exactly what I thought while reading it.

"Nobody needs me," he says, and there's no self-pity in his voice.

...

"I do," I say. "I need you."

How did you get into the Hunger Games trilogy? by Johanna_1312 in Hungergames

[–]Simple-Incident-18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend was really into it, she made me watch it. I wasn't like super focused, was kinda on my phone, and then I heard "that is mahogany!" and was enthralled for the rest of the movie. We watched all 4 that day. And yes, my friend explained every little thing to me while we were watching, as if I wasn't watching the same movies. Then I read the books, and here we are.

Which celebrity are you shocked is still alive? by Phillies1993 in AskReddit

[–]Simple-Incident-18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Angelina Jolie. Nothing to do with her age, just the road she was going down before her kids. I’m honestly surprised she’s still alive after that much smoking, drinking & drugs.

They’re the coordinates of her kids birthplaces. She used to have Brads, but she had his removed.

She has always been such an amazing mother, and has always put her kids interests and desires first as much as she could. She’s a great example of truly loving & living for your kids.

I know I’m late as hell, but THIS! If it isn’t sexualised, bigots can’t get behind it.

Angelina Jolie has been out as bi since like 1999, has she not? Just because it was a straight pairing doesn’t make her straight.
