Also on his day trips to heaven he has to look around at all the gays, feminists and atheists up there pallin' it up with Jesus who just gives him this disappointed look every time he catches his eye.

Hey, I'm tolerant of these people. I would never harass them, physically attack them, or anything like that. I'll treat them with the respect every human being deserves. That's tolerating them.

What I won't do is lend credence to their harmful, self-hating philosophy.

I've never seen it. However the internet has told me the following about it:

Best answer.

Hey yeah, I don't think I even saw Supernatural either! (I'm not a Supernatural fan myself, but man, you can't swing a dead LOLcat on tumblr without hitting some of that.)

I'm old school Who and Star Trek myself. I actually really like when I meet someone who's been brought in by the reboot, especially if they're interested in seeing old stuff too.

I met some girl on tumblr recently who liked the Star Trek reboot and was really interested in Kirk and Spock's relationship. I was like "Oh…

Yeah. It might have been referring to the super obsessed fangirls. But the fangirls who are really obsessed and spend all their time on tumblr are usually teenagers, because teenagers have more spare time than adults. Whether they spend it on fandom, video games, or...

Well, I'm not going to speculate on the author's intent. I'm going to go by their words. And these words do create equivalency. ("Equivalency" does not mean "blame." It means these two concepts that are not comparable are being compared in a way that makes them appear equal in kind.) That is simply what the wording doe…

"If Zimmerman’s phobic misreading of Martin was the first wrong turn that led to their fatal struggle, Martin’s phobic misreading of Zimmerman may have been the second."

"It happened because two people—their minds clouded by stereotypes that went well beyond race—assumed the worst about one another and acted in haste."

S…

Post away, credit or not, I don't mind.

Exactly...sure, it's true that you shouldn't escalate a non-violent situation to violence, (again, assuming Martin even was the one to escalate it to violence) but when you back someone into a corner (especially a teenager!) it really is not surprising that they might push back…

I am really bothered by the false equivalency this article makes of Martin's "phobic misreading" of the man following him late at night and Zimmerman's "phobic misreading" of Martin.

What Zimmerman did to make Martin suspicious of him: Zimmerman trailed Martin from his car, late at night. When Martin tried to get away…

Indeed. If Zimmerman had been black the story would not have gotten much coverage, but he most certainly would be in jail.

Oh man, that is awesome. Never before have I so badly wanted to be a big burly man instead of a teensy little girl.

Excellent analogy.

I'd add to that—any white women who don't understand why making it about us is obnoxious—how do you feel about men who interrupted the discussion around Stubenville to complain that they were hurt to hear women around them might be worried they would rape them?

The wouldn't have needed more than a bullshit reason if the media hadn't gotten wind of the case. Zimmerman supporters ranted and raved about the "liberal media circus" following this case because they knew that this death could have been swept quickly under the rug without it.

And then the end result was the same.…

They're confident that they've played the system well enough that it won't matter. And while I pray they're wrong...our government is fucked up enough that I can't blame them for believing that.

Probably something like "all this flirting with her and obsessing with her I do it really putting a strain on my marriage for some reason. Clearly I cannot stop and be a mature adult so I guess my wife is right, I should fire her."

Hmm. Point. It unfortunate that morality and legality, by necessity, have to be viewed differently. The whole thing really sucks.

It sounds like this could have gone differently if it were on the basis of sexual harassment...

That is an interesting point. I didn't know about at-will states. That really sucks.
