[Discussion] Popular opinions/social issues that annoy me.

[Vilvake]

I have been annoyed by a lot of things in the past, but here are a couple I can remember.

1. This whole Jason Collins thing. I'm sorry if this is rude, but I couldn't care less if there is a gay player in the NBA. The way people are calling him a hero and praising his courage is baffling. The media has been begging for a professional sports player to go public about being gay for a long time now. Anybody who did this was signing up for a lot of publicity- a lot good publicity. Why good? Because if anybody says anything negative, they are slammed for being homophobic.

A couple examples- There was an NFL player who tweeted a joke like "I respect Jason Collins for being true to himself, but I don't know why people want to be gay. There are so many beautiful women in the world!" He was immediately slammed by the media, called homophobic, had to delete the tweet, and both him and his nfl team apologized for him being "insensitive."

Then there was an (I believe) ESPN reporter. He was asked the question, on air, "What is your personal opinion about Jason Collins being gay?" He answered truthfully by saying something like, "I respect Jason Collins as a player and a person, but I'm a christian and being gay is against my beliefs." He was also slammed for being homophobic and people immediately began calling for him to be fired.

I just find it ironic that people who are fighting for gay rights- who are literally fighting for people to accept their beliefs- refuse to accept beliefs that go against theirs. This is coming from someone that has no problem with gay people, and think they should have equal rights.

2. Feminism! This drives me insane. How this is still relevant, I don't know. It's getting to the point where males are the disadvantaged ones. My head literally blows when some women say things like, "I broke up with my boyfriend because I don't think he has the means to support me."

My reaction: you have fought for equal job opportunities and equal rights, but still you think you should be catered to! Most women, in my experience, still believe that it's up to their husbands to support them. You might say it's because they have to care for their children, but a lot of women don't have or even want children! And yet they still think they should sit back and be cared for! Also, I see women give this piece of dating advice all the time- "If he doesn't pay for the meal at a restaurant, he's rude and you should dump him! Don't even consider paying for half!" Oh my god. Kill me.

3. When people call heavier women "real women." If you look at an article with models in it, the comment section is always filled with people saying, "Eww! Look at those sticks! I prefer women who have more meat on their bones." It amazes me that people shun skinny women who make an attempt at being healthy, dismissing them as "fake", and then praise heavier women as being "real". What they don't understand is that not every skinny woman has an eating disorder, and throw up after every meal to shed the pounds. Some people actually have something called a "fast metabolism." People think they are taking the moral "high ground" by praising heavy women, but all they are doing is being insulting and ignorant.

I know, I'm crying, right? But I think these are pretty legitimate points.

What annoys you?

1. The guy has to text first.

2. Friends isn't the best show ever.

3. 2 Chainz and Chief Keef are good rappers.

4. Professional athletes aren't overpayed.

There's a lot more, but I can't remember them right now.

I agree!!! :I the world overrates too much

"You have to eat it up before you beat it up."

That's just not true.

 

[Fair Warning]

Girls who want equal rights, but not equal EVERYTHING


Like women want the same paid jobs, but arent willing to work the same as a man does. Ya know?

Or how they want to be treated as strong as men but cant do as many pushups

I just find it ironic that people who are fighting for gay rights- who are literally fighting for people to accept their beliefs- refuse to accept beliefs that go against theirs. This is coming from someone that has no problem with gay people, and think they should have equal rights.

There was this exact notion in the 1960s with Civil Rights for other ethnicities. Equality for homosexuals is now evolving to be exactly like the past where people just did not enjoy the thought of other ethnicities marrying other ethnicities, or just Caucasians, because it was in their beliefs. Can you see the problem with this argument, now? It should be wrong when people make fun of sexuality. Not that the tweets given were necessarily making fun of homosexuality, of course.

2. Feminism! This drives me insane. How this is still relevant, I don't know. It's getting to the point where males are the disadvantaged ones. My head literally blows when some women say things like, "I broke up with my boyfriend because I don't think he has the means to support me."

I half agree with you, but men and women are all different. Women should be equals with Men, but they aren't respecting their own notions if they push even farther than is equal.

3. When people call heavier women "real women." If you look at an article with models in it, the comment section is always filled with people saying, "Eww! Look at those sticks!

*nods* Since men and women are different and have their own tastes, it should be a given that the skinny and the stocky should be equal. So there are people that have their preferences: this isn't wrong; we can't take this as being prejudiced against the other party.

You must be registered for see images

I'm not gonna lie to you though bro I agree on every single thing you posted, Let's be fwiends

 

[Vincent Pryce]

2 Chainz and Chief Keef are good rappers.

Chief Keef & 2 Chainz 4 lyfe
Idc if they are good or bad rappers. Their music is good. Don't hate, but appreciate.

OT- Religious people are looked down upon by (some) atheists. That is f*cking annoying.

this right here!!!!!!

 

[Edo GwemBaba]

I agree man. I can't stand that some people can't just accept that people want to live their lives differently, for example Homosexuals, who have every right to choose how they live their life.

 

[Vilvake]

Equality for homosexuals is now evolving to be exactly like the past where people just did not enjoy the thought of other ethnicities marrying other ethnicities, or just Caucasians, because it was in their beliefs.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's right to make fun of homosexuals. I was referring more to the fact that if anybody says anything that doesn't praise gay people, they are shunned and ridiculed. Obviously if you're someone that is homophobic for no reason, and openly insult homosexuals, that's wrong. But I have no problem with someone not believing homosexuality is right, without being antagonistic, for a reason such as religion.

[-Phoënix Flower-]

Agreed U_U
1.I just hate the fact that behind every terrorist act,there's a Muslim :|
2. If people wish to live their lives according to their religion,they're narrow minded and sick people :sy:
3. What annoys me most is "hypocrisy" displayed by the super powers of this world U_U

 

[ballerjordan]

Girls who b*tch just about everything just pisses me off.

How drake is even considered a rapper, makes me want to punch a b*tch.

I hate annoying kids that think their good at ball, then they get ripped.

 

[obito777]

I agree with everything you said man. You hit the nail on the head, especially with the feminism part of your thread.

thanks. another point about feminism is that women fought for the right to join the military, and now can, but aren't required to sign up for the draft. you don't hear many feminist's angry over that "inequality." why would they? it benefits them.

I actually really agree with you. People are sheep these days, once one does something, they all follow in the same motion.

They are terrible rappers.

 

[King Of Crows]

That feminism part is something I completely agree on. If women want equality then that means they should disown any special treatment you would expect a woman to get.

" Feminism is equality for both sexes by focusing on only one of them"

1. The guy has to text first.

2. Friends isn't the best show ever.

There's a lot more, but I can't remember them right now.

That one annoys the hell outta me! I was grieving when a friend contacted me saying my now ex was annoyed at me for not texting her! I was like wuuuuuut, nice to know what you think is important!
