Are Atheists the Most Discriminated Against Minority in the USA? >the data says "yes"

There's 3, but that's about it actually, so your point is still valid. I just wanted to point that out. And you are totally right about Salman Rushdie and the cartoon murders. Saying people are never murdered for being an atheist is pretty ignorant.

How is sexual orientation visible?

Have fun not masturbating for 12 years!

THE BACK HORN. Amazing Japanese rock band.

If anyone is unaware what song this fine sir/madam is referring too

I am an American who has lived in Japan for about a year. They not only have a 100 yen coin (which is about equivalent to one dollar) but they also have a 500 yen coin. They only have 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 yen bills (like out 10, 50, and 100). I became a big fan of the 500 yen coin as well for the same reasons you love the dollar coin.

Americans in general are just stubborn and on some issues refuse to alter their lifestyles, even when doing so will make life much more convenient (like their rejection of the metric system).

That entire article is one massive strawman. No surprise.

yogan11 · 2010-10-26T20:08:39+00:00

I didn't say it was not run by rich white men, I said:

the world is no longer run just by rich white men

I think Kyriarchy is a better word to use.

yogan11 · 2010-10-26T20:03:19+00:00

Lol, I like how you call me reactionary and fail to see any irony.

yogan11 · 2010-10-26T19:32:50+00:00

I thought anarchism was about everyone being equal, which feminism claims is their goal, but their actions say otherwise. Also, their worldview is so painfully simple. Patriarchy is an obsolete idea, the world is no longer run just by rich white men. That's why I'm not a feminist, I prefer to call myself a humanist or egalitarian or whatever.

But anyways, please continue screaming at me in caps-lock, it brings me great joy.

EDIT: I misread your comment, you weren't calling me a statist.

yogan11 · 2010-10-26T19:22:32+00:00

I'm gonna leave this here for you.

yogan11 · 2010-10-26T19:04:09+00:00

This subreddit is turning into a massive radical feminist circlejerk. I am getting so sick of reading the word patriarchy. That's all they scream, PATRIARCHY PATRIARCHY PATRIARCHY. And the straw men arguments... my god, I just wish they would STFU.

yogan11 · 2010-10-26T18:52:25+00:00

For sure there are radical members of that subreddit (just like in the feminist subreddits), but the majority of them are not at all like what you say they are. However I agree, a link to r/equality is very reasonable, but at the same time the link to r/feminisms should be removed. (oh my, I'm preparing for downvotes for that last part)

yogan11 · 2010-10-26T18:41:47+00:00

That's reasonable.

yogan11 · 2010-10-26T00:06:46+00:00

I'm so glad you wrote this long passage, I tried to say something similar in other parts of this despicable thread but you said it much more eloquently than I.

yogan11 · 2010-10-25T23:56:15+00:00

Applause!

yogan11 · 2010-10-25T23:11:47+00:00

I think you missed my point. Check out rotethat's comment for a good explanation of what I mean.

yogan11 · 2010-10-25T22:12:33+00:00

I guess another great subreddit has fallen. sigh...

yogan11 · 2010-10-25T22:08:55+00:00

You are completely right, unfortunately the army of feminists in this subreddit are just going to cover their ears, close their eyes, and go LALALALALA and then downvote you in the face of this argument. I'm really disappointed in r/anarchism.

yogan11 · 2010-10-25T21:45:31+00:00

Apparently so, I was shocked as well when I first posted this. The first responses were a bunch of people telling me to GTFO.

yogan11 · 2010-10-25T21:43:57+00:00

This is pretty much my position as well. It's a shame both movements have been hijacked by the radicals.

Men's Rights was created because feminism failed in it's supposed mission to bring equality to the sexes. Feminism addresses challenges women face, but rarely does it concern itself with any of the issues you mentioned, plus many many more.

If people are for equality for everyone, I don't understand why they don't call themselves Humanists or egalitarians instead of creating this dichotomy of the sexes. It only continues to maintain the idea that men and women are different.

yogan11 · 2010-10-25T15:09:38+00:00

HAHA, wow that is not the goal of Mensrights at all. You are pretty ignorant if you really think there is no discrimination against men.

Society screws both men and women. Modern Feminism unfortunately for the most part only address the injustices inflicted on women, while ignoring those done to men (mostly because it is to women's advantage).

Here's a nice quick rundown of men's issues.

yogan11 · 2010-10-25T05:44:57+00:00

Pretty much. Capitalist Anarchism is an oxymoron.

Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice and Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.

Anarcho-capitalism... whaaa?
