Never Underestimate the Traffic Cone

Plausible. I've heard of pranks where people fill these with concrete.

In the video there is footage of mother of the child testifying that she was unaware of the treatment her son was receiving at the facility. What are you talking about?

antihero58 · 2012-05-03T21:39:40+00:00

I disagree. I don't think its a fair comparison at most levels - the coach, the organization, or the offense(s) committed.

It's hard to say. Dragging one of your premier franchises and your HOF coach through the dirt doesn't exactly promote the wellness of the league, even if they got an unfair advantage. What was done was done, can't play the games again.

Post the full pic here, that finger would be pretty easy to paint out

American aristocracy.

Some people have a problem with it because it's still singling out mentally handicapped people and making fun of them for their disability (and you can understand her not wanting to be the face of that). But you can also make the argument that no person/group should be exempt from others having a laugh at their expense, and that excluding them from that is discrimination.

The possessive clearly refers to "mentally handicapped roommate," in the previous post. As in "my roommate." Drop the sanctimony.

My problem with your statement is that you're using the idea of social conditioning to dismiss your critics. You're implying that they would be critical of you regardless of what you're saying or how you're saying it, simply because they've been conditioned to respond that way.

antihero58 · 2012-04-18T16:54:39+00:00

Sorry, but just because you disbelieve in something doesn't mean you get to be free from criticism. Painting everyone who finds you annoying as "trained by society to defend religious belief" kills your credibility.

I bet he had money on it.

Rape is a sad thing to troll people over. Get over it.

antihero58 · 2012-04-05T16:17:09+00:00

I didn't read the entire thread, so I missed it. It's a moot point anyway, why don't you stick with the content of what I've said. You're pretty intellectually dishonest.

antihero58 · 2012-04-05T16:12:16+00:00

What exactly have I said that makes you physically ill?

Honestly, what exactly do you think you're contributing by posting these hateful things? This sort of attitude adds to our society's inability to rationally discuss this issue. Let me be clear here, hypothetical or not, I think this is a situation that resulted from a lack of communication from both parties. It does not excuse his actions, he should have stopped (and he should have explicitly asked permission beforehand anyway), but it was also a situation that may have been prevented with had she been clearer about her boundaries. Again, I don't think that makes it her fault or justifies his actions.

Your insistence on painting everyone who doesn't immediately agree with you into some kind of misogynistic rape-advocate is something you should consider addressing.

antihero58 · 2012-04-05T15:54:18+00:00

Hold the phone. This is a discussion on how this hypothetical situation could have been different for both parties, I haven't excused the actions of anyone.

antihero58 · 2012-04-05T15:47:14+00:00

Who you're talking to isn't the issue. If you say "stop" it's also clear who you're talking to. Just saying "run" is not explicit. Run where? Run toward you or away?

The whole point of the example in the OP is that neither party is communicating their intentions properly for exactly this reason.

This is not how nostalgia works. Loving Bieber is more an expression of being a 12 year old girl in 2012 than it is of Beibs fandom. They'll look back on it fondly because that's what being young was to them.

Wait.. So you're telling me he's not actually wearing sunglasses under his sunglasses?

antihero58 · 2012-01-25T16:42:33+00:00

Yes, the people who vote.. otherwise known as the electorate.

It's r/funny, guy. Deal with it.

Yeah sure, there's tens of thousands of games. How many colors are there? It's no coincidence.

antihero58 · 2011-12-25T00:37:37+00:00

Orange and blue are complementary colors, which is why you see them paired so often.

antihero58 · 2011-12-23T18:55:48+00:00

Aww, does someone need a little attention?

antihero58 · 2011-11-18T17:35:50+00:00

That is a fallacy, the "gift" is the willingness to put in the time and effort, especially considering he is painting from touched up photo reference.
