Actually, this movie looks kinda cute.

Haha, I don’t think they’re you’re sock puppet, partially because you appear to have a real sparse and reasoned comment history while they’re just tramping round comment sections trying to start fights with well known commenters/contributers, but mostly because dear god folk round here like to scream ‘troooolll’ at…

Nah I’m an inveterate lurker so I can dig it, you don’t know me from any of the possible crop of trolls that’s going right now. So if you were apologizing you don’t need to and if you did you didn’t need to :P

I think the primary issue is how he treated people, I think him wanting boob pics isn’t beyond the pale, consent culture and all that. But that’s my generic beef. Informed decisions is all I ask.

I share your viewpoint entirely.

A little context: at the time I was the late-night mod on GT and would set up midnight OTs so people could shoot the breeze about everything, just places to talk.

I’m not taking Islam out of the discussion. I am specifically, in this case, condemning the fundamentalist Islamist attitude that resulted in this girl’s death. But it is the Fundamentalist nature of the belief that is poison, not the core belief. I refuse to conflate “fundamentalist Islam” with “Islam.”

Yes. Just reading about the mass killer in Nice who it seems, surprise surprise, was apparently a wife and child beater. Who knows what kinds of tragedies could be averted if domestic violence were easier to prosecute and got the perpetrators serious prison sentences.

Except that domestic abuse in upper-class families all over the world is often invisible and overlooked. That’s the reality.

You are being more ridiculous than you might suspect. English is my second language and I was born in a third world country outside of North America. Whoa at your silly assumptions.

Uggh. Read my other replies for the sins of Christian Fundamentalism and the harm (and death) they both cause and condone on a daily basis.

Just typed out the same, and saw your comment.

How the fuck did you get there from what I said? Did you take a break after my last sentence and read some Trump campaign literature, and then come back? Fuck off.

Our patriarchal society and the idea that men “own” women stems from our own Judeo-Christian upbringing. I’m not saying that hatred of, or violence towards, women needs religion to exist, because clearly it doesn’t. But it is a huge factor in legitimizing it.

Is ANYONE really into old white guys?

I appreciate that he cares, and I’m sorry for his guilt and grief.

MISOGYNY is poison and it kills women by the thousands every day. Take the fundamentalism away, you will still have misogyny. It finds a different container (viz Atheist bros). MISOGYNY is everywhere in every belief and non-belief system. It’s bigger than fundamentalism by far. I’ll die fighting this war and it won’t…

Yeah, heaven forbid he should take a woman’s fears seriously. Domestic violence victims across the world are treated this way until the worst happens.

Fundamentalism, in all its forms, across religions and cultures both, is a poison. Fuck them all.

It was a really pleasant surprise too how many really great subreddits there are and how clever the replies and posts are, right?! There is hope yet for internet humanity
