So. Much. This.

Thanks for picking up the slack!

What is your "default" for "women?"

"General Hospital Psychiatry," get back to doing what you do best... studying the effects of multiple cases of amnesia on the complex romantic escapades of the socialites of Port Charles.

Oh, gosh. Misunderstandings all 'round. I'm advocating a Stephen Colbert-like approach, not bullying an individual. I tried to be careful with my words to avoid confusion, but wasn't quite careful enough- sorry!

Ugh- I was seriously open to having a discussion about this. But then you did this: "I agree with you that I seriously don't think peer pressure/mocking is gonna change anyone's belief system"

It's simple trickle-down sandwichnomics, really. We must support the sandwich-creators with incentives like varying mustard choices and a panini press.

Mayo leads directly to fornication. It's the devil's condiment.

Liverwurst, no condiments. Eat that wurst as is.

This subject needs further study. Might I suggest we create a subcommittee made up of you, me and a few other Jezzies of our choosing, to explore your alternative approach? We get the fancy cheese, embargo for the rest!

By giving them their "rivals" jacket, instead of any jacket, a potentially more cost effective or more weather appropriate jacket*, they are giving the homeless people something they think of as shit. The homeless person still gets a jacket, but to give someone something you consider shit to a human being you…

Is it naive of me to think that this will backfire and that people will start to see homeless people in CalTech gear and think "Hey, that CalTech is a pretty sweet school. Look at the good they do in the world... Why aren't the dirty assholes at MIT doing something like that?"

I would hope that there would be a moment of self-reflection or growth in there somewhere, otherwise no one's mind would change. If it's a belief true to the person's moral center, the jokes won't change that, and if it's something the person only believes because it's something they've inhaled all their lives, then…

You're missing the point by at least an AU.

Maybe I'm just in a foul mood, but I would really like to be appointed head of the sandwich committee, and then legislate all kinds of sanctions on sandwiches until congress can get their shit together about health care and a reasonable budget. like Lysistrata but with sandwiches.

Whoa... maybe you should examine the meaning of the word bigot before you apply it to people. It does not mean what you think it means.

Where is the line between being a part of a group and adamantly disagreeing with everything that group stands for? This is what I struggle with when a person says they are a Christian, that the Christian church (as we know it, as it exists in reality) is wrong about every action they are actively pursuing, but that…

I feel that it's actually important to mock these beliefs. A lot of bigotry is excused in otherwise decent people (or people who consider themselves to be decent) because everyone they surround themselves with is echoing the same belief system. They never examine their beliefs or what their beliefs do to other…

Nope. Those aren't bangs. She has long layers framing her face. They are lovely, and it looks good on her, but bangs those are not.

Hipster is like pornography... I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.
