Because not everyone just believes what their parents tell them. Some people come to conclusions on their own.

But you're only looking at one side of the equation. You're not even attempting to be serious about this question.

I think you need a study to prove that it has more negative effects than positive ones. Sounds like an empirical claim that needs evidence to back it up.

I think the belief that the world exists just 'cuz and that all of the human experience is just combination of various chemicals is madness. If something's beyond your comprehension, how could you ever hope to have proof of it?

I think it actually makes more sense than the idea that religion creates evil.

Can you keep your atheism out of my life too? Please? Why are you allowed to prattle on and on about your atheism but I have to keep my faith in said flying spaghetti monster to myself? Sounds like a double standard, no?

I'd like to see that empirical study. You got a link?

Misogyny is actually really funny if you think about it. Like people in the 21st century still believe in the myth of the succubus (metaphorically if not literally). People actually believe that the way you gesture or your favorite alcoholic beverage is an indicator of what genitalia you have. Lolwut?

In print the most economical issues are "The Essential Spider-Man" though they're in black and white. If you live in anything resembling a big city, your library almost certainly has them. Digitally, I think they come with a Marvel Digital Comics subscription. There's also this if you have an odd affinity for CD-ROMs.

If you want to read Spider-Man, really you should just start at the beginning, all the way back at Amazing Fantasy #15. Stan Lee's still the definitive run for him.

Don't you ever talk shit about breakfast.

First of all, any time you say the phrase "their inability to behave like normal human beings", you're already on Problem Road. Who are they? Every person is different. Right now you're operating under a tautology. "The people who behave like assholes are assholes." I'm not talking about people who cross the line into…

I can and do. Why is it so impossible for people to understand that you can make an argument for someone that's not yourself?

Learning how to spot them is basic social survival skills.

There IS no "immediate friendzoning" when one is first meeting someone. And that's what so many guys are whining about - i approached this woman and got friendzoned.

You mean to tell me that if a guy buys you a bunch of stuff (like concert tickets) and goes out of his way to do all sorts of things for you, and you suspect that his intentions aren't just "He's the nicest most caring person ever" even though he's too chicken to ask you out, you're not going to still let him do all…

I think it's usually exactly that. "Stop majoring in all that shit with words in it. You're just letting China win. Why study humanity's greatest cultural traditions when you could be a computer programmer!?"

The brain is the largest erogenous zone. Any guy who doesn't find a woman's intelligence sexy is stupid. I don't understand what's so insane about the idea that a dude wants to see you naked AND gives plenty of flying fucks about you and your thoughts. I'm trying to determine if your thoughts are worthwhile. Mind,…

Maybe the stupid ones do. I don't. Take your lumps and move on is what I would say. Guys who are offended about this shit ARE stupid and entitled.

Because dudes be tryin' to fuck. Always. That's the nature of having a dick. That's not the only reason we're talking to you, but almost every time that's one of the reasons. We extend to you the same courtesy because we assume you are also sexual creatures with similar levels of wants and desires, as opposed to some…
