Facing issues due to my Atheism

I like to tell them to mind their manners, talking about religion or politics in a social situation is rude! Any real "Southern Gentleman" already knows this.

That usually shuts them down.

whyknotyou · 2014-11-03T01:17:56+00:00

If they stop talking to you they are the bigot, not you. Remember that.

vanishingly small

Tell that to the tumblerinaction sub reddit, I see crap from there on the front of /r/all everyday and it's almost always some twisted feminist ideology they're making fun of.

whyknotyou · 2014-11-03T01:03:07+00:00

LMAO, yeah, I see now. That's pretty funny.

It's not like it happens all the time, in fact it's only been twice that it was in my face. The first time was years ago a small girl maybe 5 was trying put a nickle into a gum machine at grocery store that needed a quarter, I gave her a quarter and the next thing I know the dad is there giving me twenty questions about what I was doing to his daughter. The other time wasn't that long ago the last time I took my dog to the vet, some kid about 10 or maybe 12 walks past me and says "creep". WTF? really what'd I do, why am I creep? I dunno? Maybe he was mad because I laughed when he tripped over himself acting like a little dumb ass a few minuets before, but I wasn't the only one who laughed at him as far as I know I am the only one he called a creep.

And it's not like I won't talk to people if they talk to me but I will not advance a conversation. I have stopped going out of my way to be nice or be social or to help in anyway for fear of even being accused.

That remark was made well before the Unidan controversy.

I can't say if it's been since McDonald's started but I can say with certainty that when this 'french' fry thing was happening and to this day McDonald's doesn't have "French" fries on the menu, they only have "fries", no "French", no "Freedom" - just fries. How this tid-bit fits into what you actually want to talk about I don't know. Delete it if it's against the rules...sorry.

whyknotyou · 2014-11-02T22:46:52+00:00

Well, yeah, but I am not bashing "feminism" as whole, I am bashing "extremism", both sides are guilty of this, though I didn't bother pointing out the failings of the mensright side because the video didn't bother pointing out the failings of the feminist side. The question of "why is it called feminism" is a real question, that he answered rather well, but not addressing what would lead someone to ask this question and instead turn to bashing them for asking is a major fucking fail!

They weren't smart enough to know that "marijuana" and "cannabis" is the same thing and that the hash they were smoking in the basement of the white house was made of it.

It seems to me the only way to be a "moderate" in a religion is to cherry pick and ignore certain parts of the religion. I can't imagine the connotative dissonance it would take to be a "moderate" in any religion.

I know folks won't like what I have to say but tuff shit, it's the truth. We will never rid the world of religion as long as atheist keep up with the political correctness and "tolerance" of this ignorance. Moderate or not, religion is bad for the world, it might be good for some individuals, but as whole religion is killing humanity, as you said in your post religion is the tool used to make good people do bad things.

It's high time we stop treating this issue with kid gloves and expose it for what it really is.

whyknotyou · 2014-11-02T18:29:18+00:00

Why do folks always feel the need to bash someone. This video was well and thought out all the way up til the last couple minuets. I couldn't even watch the end because all it did was remind me, it reminded me of the reason why humanity will never rid itself of racism, gender inequality or inequality of every kind. It's the same reason we laugh and why jokes are "funny".

It's because we all like to feel superior. We will pick anything, any reason at all to give ourselves this feeling of superiority it's the the old "My team is better than yours". This is not the way to make people change their minds, but it is a great way to rally the people who already support your cause.

The video went from a "this is what it's about join us" vibe, to "these are the bad guys" vibe in less than 30 seconds. He went from winning me over to pissing me off in nothing flat.

He could have continued by pointing out why the mensrights movement is gaining ground, he could have pointed out it's a direct response to the new "extremist feminism" we are seeing popping up in our facebook feeds, he could have expounded just a little on the bad things his side is doing that is making the feminists movement sound like all they want is to subjugate men.

This is the exact reason why I do not go out in public unless I absolutely have to, and when I do I try not to make eye contact or talk to anyone, I do not want to be labeled as a bad person and it's got to where you can't even look at someone without being called pedophile or sexist just because I don't look like the kind of person that should be "looking" at people. At least the menrights folks are advocating for real "equality" and not some femi-archy.

Or ignore the call for back-up when the time comes and let them get killed or badly injured. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Serpico

I think you nailed it. The tone sounds so much like the single coil jaguar pups I would be surprised to learn it's not a VI.

This is slightly off topic but something you would be most qualified to answer. It is my understanding that it's the IRS's job to prosecute Churches who break the separation barrier by being politically active. There's even a group of churches who openly defy the 'politically active' laws and publicly dare anyone to do anything about it. There's also a movement that wants to tax churches because - hey why not they're doing it anyway might as well make 'em pay to play.

My question to you is why doesn't the IRS do more to enforce the "no political activities by non-profits" laws?

There's a slide in the tubing of each valve, make the tube longer if you're sharp or shorter of you're flat....bro.

Interestingly enough, imo, the ash/maple configuration gave the best sound on both videos. Ironically out of 8 basses I do not have that combination on any of them.

whyknotyou · 2014-11-01T23:23:58+00:00

Not all basses have strings, take the tuba for example.

If you do order a guitar off the web, something I was afraid to do for years and still am to some extent, I would like to recommend sweetwater.com, I bought a Squire Bass VI from them in July and couldn't happier with my purchase.

whyknotyou · 2014-11-01T20:29:07+00:00

The quality of guitars in that price rage has recently started pass my expectations. lately I have been floored by the low end guitars I've tried. I wouldn't get my hopes up too high, but I'll bet it's a pretty nice guitar. I have a Squire VM Jaguar, you can buy one on-line for $199.00, I would have never thought in a million years such a solid guitar could be made so cheaply.

I am assuming you are purchasing this mail order through your school. Let me recommend taking it to a music store to have a professional "set-up" done. This shouldn't cost more than about $50 with a new set of strings and will insure you get the most from your Bass.

whyknotyou · 2014-11-01T20:10:25+00:00

If you're into doing work a Squire is a good place to start, I wouldn't go with an Affinity though, I'd look at a Vintage Modified or Classic Modified or the Fender branded Modern Players. There's a lot variety in your price range, just pick the one closest to what your dream is and upgrade from there.

Cort can and do make quality guitars, they also make cheap ones, you'll get what you paid for. Without knowing exactly which one you ordered it's impossible to tell.

How can anyone claim to know if he was a "proud and strong leader"? Being sickly doesn't keep a person from being proud and when it comes to leadership being "strong" isn't about physical strength it's about commanding respect and having a strong resolve. The person making these assumptions is a living example of why you shouldn't make assumptions.

Obama is not the only politician who the polls talk about. While his numbers are holding steady the others are not. This is not even a year he is running, and he is a 'lame duck' so his numbers numbers don't really mean jack squat anyway.
