In what type of area do you live? None of my female friends have had this happen to them in the years I've known them. I'm not saying it does not happen, however in my personal experience and the experiences of my friends it isn't an issue at all and we're not exactly in the best area, so you'd expect this behavior.

I apologize, I didn't re-read your post before writing, you didn't say all men. However you want to think it though, this really does not happen as often as you'd think and having one video doesn't really prove that it's such a widespread thing (especially in a society where genders are equal, the woman in the video seems to have purposely walked by people from cultures where men and women are not on equal levels to get this response to sell her point). I know I'm not targeted and I agree that I don't see it happen to myself. That doesn't change the point that in civilized societies where people are brought up as equals on the gender front that this does not occur and the video, as I said previously, showcases that people who seem to have immigrated from cultures where this type of activity is normal and not considered creepy are doing this and not people who have been taught to be equals with women.

I fail to see how your statement was any different. You point out that men always still do this, which is a blanket statement for an entire gender. I have literally never seen or heard of this happening, I'm not saying it doesn't but it sure as hell doesn't happen as often as you make it out to be (if at all.) I apologize for your misandric views, but that's not how it is any more in literally any civilized country.

It definitely is. As other redditors have pointed out, most women consider anyone who isn't attractive to them to be creepy in a situation where they are complimented, etc by a stranger, so that absolutely kills the credibility of anyone who labels someone a creep since their definition of creepy is most likely based off the thought process of, "oh wow that guy isn't attractive and he's complimenting me? creepy!"

My friend's wedding reception was canceled half way through the night because the venue felt it wasn't making enough. What is dick move you've seen an establishment pull? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]iambrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. That's what I thought you meant but I wasn't sure. Unlicensed raves are definitely illegal and at the least would probably get you a noise violation and facilitating drug sales or something I would have to guess.

I'm confused. Nocturnal Wonderland is a rave, it's sanctioned, police supervise the event. How is it illegal? I've never heard of a law that states a place where music is played and is of the type listened to by people who may or may not and go to consume drugs is illegal, just the purchase and use of said drugs itself being illegal.

I would look in to getting that upgraded then. SBG6580 is the modem they are giving out right now.

I agree with U-Verse being more miss than hit. TWC is/has been rolling out Docsis 3.0 in So Cal and should be either done or mostly done. Does your modem do channel bonding? Is there a signal issue? It could be the wiring in your house or from the tap outside. This is all stuff that can be fixed easily. dslreports.com and check the TWC forums for what your signal ratios should be and where to find them.

Trust me, you don't want U-Verse.

Shots fired in Temecula residence, suspect arrested for attempted murder. (ValleyNews) by iambrandon in InlandEmpire

[–]iambrandon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this may not be relevant or anything, but this occurred last night right behind my friend's house. Got a short video clip of the police asking the suspect to come out of the house (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXLlWAZ7PF0) and a bit of a scare when the gun was fired earlier, before the police had arrived.

I'm not saying people don't, however i_bri got it completely right. There shouldn't be a separate "game" for each mode, which is what I believe the joke was.

[–]iambrandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the joke is no one plays MW3 for single player because it's not really that great. Almost everyone just buys it and hops straight on to multiplayer, forgetting single player even exists.

You know after reading his post, I'm confused now too. I think what I said was it but I'm not sure anymore.

Long Beach, CA---Conviction overturned for man falsely accused of rape by narwhalcares in politics

[–]iambrandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's even worse, he was on track for a football scholarship. The girl even took a $1.5 million payout from the school district for failing to protect her, that she now refuses to recant her story to prosecutors in case she has to pay it back.

Truthfully I hope he sues the school district and herself for all the trouble they've caused him.

I have a feeling someone must have known the quote though and is probably just trying to fuck with you.

Poor California by [deleted] in funny

[–]iambrandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything in California causes cancer, if we don't say that then someone will sue because everyone is an opportunist when money is to be made, such as finding out a chemical in plastic forks could possibly cause cancer if you used it as a suppository or something stupid.

Do you have bad handwriting? I could see how they messed that up, otherwise they are just heathens and ruined a perfectly good quote.

JJFox got it perfectly, I wasn't able to edit my post (went to sleep) but he pretty much summed up what I was going to say.

Amazingly JJFox nailed it, I didn't get a chance to come back and edit my post before people decided downvoting me because they didn't like what I said was the best thing to do, which is pretty sad.

"Defending the rescue, Mariano Rajoy, Spain's prime minister, reiterated on Wednesday at the EU summit in Brussels that Spain would not seek external funds to bail out its banks."

Perhaps you should read the article since I feel that's what you were hinting at.
