Eh! Frank posted:I wasn't going to post this in here, because I (normally) have a lot of respect for this person. But I need an outsider's opinion. I see what you're saying. I don't think it's a step away from "She was asking for it", that's literally what they meant. If that's someone you generally have respect for, they probably didn't get far enough to process that a bunch of adults are attacking this kid and calling her a whore... Or we can pretend they didn't read that far anyway.

 The text continues: quote:Tax all he has What do these even mean? Do they just mean sales tax? "Health tax" is in there, does that mean the tax that pays for our healthcare system...? "Mom stayed home to raise the kids." At first I thought that's trying to say that women are getting all uppity and the world was a better place when they stayed home and "took care of their responsibilities" but I'm guessing it's slightly more subtle - the country was better off when we were rich enough that women "could" stay home, because why would they ever want to go make something of themselves? They only get careers these days because they need the money I guess.

vaguely posted:Ah, this is always so telling about the people who say it. Women have always had to work if they weren't middle-class or higher; mum going off to the factory or the field or the whorehouse was totally normal for poor kids throughout history. It's just that these days we have a shot at getting some half-decent jobs instead of being relegated to the shitwork men don't want to do (or if you're one of the lucky few getting to yell at the maids all day) and that's what these people are always actually angry at. It was posted by a woman who has a good career in a male-dominated field (which presents a lot of sexism issues for her in the workplace) and she has always been enthusiastic about my own career/ambition and lack of "traditional values". I don't attribute the sentiment of that one line to her, but holy poo poo, why did that not set off alarm bells about the post? Although despite supposedly being liberal she is very "  welfare queens" and "people who do drugs don't deserve my hard earned taxes!" so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.e: clarity Curiosity has a new favorite as of 01:10 on Aug 11, 2013 |

My supposedly liberal friend who hates all those welfare queen poors commented on this somewhere and it appeared on my feed. Why was she posting on this Facebook page?? Ignore the timestamp weirdness, I had to screencap and paste the best stuff together so I may have gotten the order mixed up. e: Read the comments, I included them because that's where the idiots are.  I like the last comment. Highlights: -why should they make what I do when I bust my rear end obviously making below living wage and that's totally an ok thing -you must be one of them lowlife scum sucking people out there who don't know how to work -they have no right to anything more than what those low level skills produce -I made profit off welfare (???) something something -become a farmer and stay home to raise your children (?!?!)

I like to think the idiots on our Facebooks have their own thread in which they post screenshots of our comments and arguments. "Can you believe my relative betrays our country/religion/whatever by saying Happy Holidays? It's not about using a universally pleasant festive greeting, it's about making you think!!!!" e: they would also need to save and compress their screenshot.jpgs at least 4 times or risk being probated by their mods

AlbieQuirky posted:We did it in my elementary school (still remember facts about Phillis Wheatley, Mary Mcleod Bethune, George Washington Carver, Arthur Ashe, and Langston Hughes from my reports on them). Our town was, at that time, literally 99.95 percent white (one old white dude had a Filipina war bride). First of all I've never known you could find out percentages for a towns population... More importantly why is doing those kind of projects in a more racially diverse town more logical? A completely white town is going to have a bunch of kids who need to realise people of every race are just people, not some mashup of stereotypes and racist jokes. Spending time educating students about people from a group they might think is "different" is just as important in a town like that as it is anywhere else, don't you think? That's one of my biggest frustrations with the "white history month" bullshit. They excuse their racism with things like "if we're equal we should have white history month" but if everything were actually perfect they'd be pushing to make every month black history month (and "newcomer" history month and native american history month etc.) because it would always be everybody month and we'd celebrate one another and plant friendship trees and poop rainbows.

e: ^^ Woman's job is to resist sex. Man's job is to relentlessly seek sex no matter what the cost. Prehistoric women needed to resist sex to survive.  Is this his way of coping with rejection? "It's their job! It's not me!" Curiosity has a new favorite as of 19:54 on Dec 11, 2013 |

Mike the TV posted:My father-in-law sent me this video. Congrats for making it! Some students weren't as smart as others so they failed. Teachers/schools were flawless, it was the kids' faults. "...learn to deal with it..." No one was ever overweight because literally everyone was outside in the fresh air. All those broken bones just made kids tougher doncha know. Do these people seriously not want us to learn from our mistakes and losses? God this pisses me off. Also get vault boy the gently caress out of there. e: do not read the comments.

Tiggum posted:Also, for some reason my Facebook only lets me set my gender to "male" or "female". Is this change for America only or something? I think it only shows the choices if your language set to "US English" - it worked when I swapped to it. The UI is different for US users... is that a new/beta thing?

This is like something from a nightmare. I don't know why (?)he wants her to know he fantasises about assaulting her. At least she can consider it a warning. I wonder if she can get a restraining order based on that screencap...
