I always find when people say that they’re neither pro-life nor pro-choice, they actually mean “I am pro-life except in these very specific circumstances, and even then the lady should feel bad and consider other options.”

“We don’t choose sides. Pro-voice is an alternative to divisive political rhetoric, and its home is in the grey area between pro-life and pro-choice.”

I, and all my siblings had them and I am a well-adjusted 20-something. Out of all the things that could possibly traumatize you during childhood, I doubt that is one of them.

lol why are you commenting on something I said nearly a year ago? I’m not even going to bother to respond your points, because I’ve had this conversation so many times before.

There’s definitely entitlement issues wrapped up in our modern ideas of success. I think it is very rare for somebody to be/become rich without having a strong sense of entitlement. Obviously this can sometimes be good, but it is so frustrating when that turns into haggling or harassment/abuse within a business…

Nope, you acted exactly like the girl I was originally complaining about. I have not bullied or abused you, I have criticised you for standing up for a powerful group while chastising the language of the oppressed group. You were not respectful. Being formal in your language doesn’t transform your rude behaviour into…

Look, this issue is, I already told you that it’s incredibly rude to try to control how the oppressed talk about powerful groups, and you continued to do so anyway. That is what's condescending. Rich people don’t need your protection. When someone is complaining and generalizing about an oppressive group (like the…

Thanks for enlightening me. You are incredibly condescending.

Yes if that’s been my almost universal experience with them.

Oh please, I'm sure their feelings can handle it.

Yes that’s what I’m most upset about. It’s just so unnecessary and not at all helpful for the plot. We know that Sansa has suffered, she was already becoming a stronger, cleverer woman because of it. We know that Ramsay is evil. Why is her storyline being “spiced up” and changed so much while Daeneyres is still doing…

Apparently so. Lots of rumours about it anyway, well, about an unnamed actress being written out, and then she was killed off and she seemed to fit the complaint.

She was such a useful character to have from a more mundane, screenwriting/technical point as well. She acted as a narrator and exposition, with lots of access to major characters without being important and having an influence on them. It felt like they cut their nose off to spite their face.

Even so, when you’re a young actress in your first major role, it’s not exactly going to fill you with confidence to say “No, I don’t want to do that.”

From what I remember, I just gave her a really long cold stare until she giggle nervously and then turned away. I though up a bunch of witty retorts in the shower later, but oh well :(

Yep, it’s definitely a behavioral trait that I’ve noticed, and undoubtedly does contribute to why some people are more likely to succeed that others, but that’s not really the point. There’s certainly an element of pulling the ladder up behind them, which is all the more annoying when you recognise that these are the…

Reaching the Impossible: How refusing to listen to others helped me get rich quick.

I’ve already dismissed a troll who completely missed the point and started telling me about how millionaires get their shoes repaired!
