I don't wish to be inflammatory, though I undoubtedly will be.
America should move on. The world should move on.
By living in constant sadness and fear, you're letting terrorists win, you're giving them what they want on a silver platter.
The July 7th bombing in London, which was a much smaller terrorist attack, people were devastated, yet the next day people were complaining about the buses being late. I realise this may be a cultural thing, but at the same time if we don't learn from each other and embrace our cultural differences it's just going to lead to more hate and fear.
Complete and utter gits commit terrorist attacks, not Muslims, Christians, Jews or Buddhists, just bad people trying to manipulate people through fear.
Senapi [952164]I did find that russia being the one calling out the US for this utterly hilarious but honestly no, the US are removing terrorists, if they were very active in the UK and the UK did nothing about it, then when they were causing issues for outside countries they'd protect them self too. If syria was doing anything about it then i'd say the US is in the wrong.
To clarify for my own sake, if the country does not take action, then they are at fault? What if there is good reason why they can't? Reasons like endangering many more innocent people.
MachineGunSteve [184119]The USA should not be wasting any more of the tax payers money doing anything in the middle east... no drone strikes, no nothing. We should get the hell out, and let the nations of Europe handle the problem. Let the Europeans fix the problem that is on its door step with money from the pockets of Europeans.
And the same goes for Russia... let Europe fix the Ukrainian problem. When the Russians start trying to claim territory in the Americas then the USA can worry about it.
Well, the US is closer to Russia than a lot of western Europe, I would say that any issue involving Russia is on America's doorstep.
MadameButterfly [1035358]OK so this is a controversial topic (although in all fairness I always make controversial topics because I like seeing you all debate and go ape shit lol ) so todays topic is if a man sleeps around he is seen as "A stud" whereas if a woman does she is seen as "A slut" so is there any justification for that divide in genders? like is it more morally acceptable in your eyes for a male to have 20 sexual partners than it is for a female to have 2 or 3? if you are male do you blank females who have slept with more people than you in the past and if so why? if you are female do you have a filter that stops you dating a man who sleeps around a lot? Lets have a gender debate and get right to the nub of that sore spot, if anything it will probably teach a few men on here what a woman is and trust me they probably need that specific lesson lol
Hello!
Quick answer. Yes.
Longer answer. No.
I feel that 'slut' as a term in too deeply intertwined with women for it really to be applicable to men, however having said that essentially yes, a man can be sexually promiscuous something that if a women acted this way they would be a slut.
In the age of sexual enlightenment though the term is outdated, if you are using protection, are not endangering anyone and asking for consent, go ahead have sex with whoever you choose if not then you deserve to be called things far worse than a slut regardless of whether you or male or female.
Sadly it is one of those things that will fade with time, but at present it still seems to be an issue, much like racism in the 60/70's and today it's still present, but less so and whilst that's not the greatest thing, it's better than it was.
Zailemaos [936636]why werent you smart enough to grow a penis in the first place??? :O
Are you sure you don't mean "why werent you smart enough not to grow a penis in the first place???" in which case I'd have to ask why weren't you smart enough not to try be funny when you obviously haven't got a clue what you are trying to say and instead of sounding funny have just left a massive opening for me to point out your stupidity and ridicule you for it?
Screenshot because I'd hate for you to edit and deny others the opportunity to point and laugh too
*Points and laughs*
On topic, whilst I can't think of anything to ask, this thread is nice and a very interesting read. Not to mention most people seem to be being treating the issue with the respect it deserves.
Oooh! *puts hand in air* How often do you have to deal with morons who find pleasure in mocking you because you're transsexual?
John Milton once said that: "For Books are not absolutely dead things, but doe contain a potencie of life in them to be as active as that soule was whose progeny they are; nay they do preserve as in a violl the purest efficacie and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.
... as good almost kill a Man as kill a good Book; who kills a Man kills a reasonable creature, Gods Image; but hee who destroyes a good Booke, kills reason it selfe, kills the Image of God, as it were in the eye. Many a man lives a burden to the Earth; but a good Booke is the pretious life-blood of a master spirit, imbalm'd and treasur'd up on purpose to a life beyond life."
According to Nietzche "God is dead".
Could we assume that since Milton likens books to God that books are dead, and because a large portion of books are repositories of knowledge, that knowledge is dead? And as such is mans endeavour for betterment ultimately futile?
And that ladies and gents is why you can't have a philosophy conversation with the limitation of 140 chars.
