You know what really grinds my gears? Emotions. Guys don't have emotions. Girls have emotions. Therefore, Guys who do have emotions are actually girls. Syllogised!
If you're a man and you think it's okay to cry or whatever, then you're sorely mistaken! You're actually a girl, and you belong in the kitchen! Now where's my sammich!

Summarised: It grinds my gears that people think it's not fair for me to use prejudice to mistreat people I perceive as bad.

You know what grinds my gears?

People who go through life with a profound lack of empathy for other people's situations and assume the position of judge and jury over every little thing that neither concerns nor affects them.

I know this thread's purpose is so people can complain about things they don't like, but please tread lightly if you're going to bring up such sensitive issues as disputed territory, party politics, or gay rights. This is Court Records, not a Yahoo! comments section. We don't want feelings to get hurt. I'm not going to hand out any punishments or warnings over these recent posts, but only because no one's complained to the staff about them as of when I posted this.

This goes for you, too, Blak. Not everyone is as good at spotting satire as I am (and I don't exactly pride myself on that particular skill in the first place). Saying something as a joke is no excuse if it hurts someone's feelings.

Now before anyone gets pissed off, I'm not anti gay. I'm just against having it as a "lifestyle".

It's a sad day when a word is made taboo, we're still having problems with the black community taking a word and identifying with it, The Gays don't need to take "queer", "fabulous", "homo", too.
Just stick with Gay and Candy-Ass (and fag when you piss people off)


Good lord I sound like my drunk of a father.


*sighs* I guess it's too big an issue for one man to think he knows everything about it. I'll admit my position may be weak, but It's just how I feel, if I'm wrong then so be it, you're still human to me.

(But you furries and Pot heads need to get a life, the gays still deserve a happy endi-*banned*

But you know what, Pierre? I've seen many gay men (can't talk about lesbians, I'm not knowledgeable enough about them) who act perfectly "normal", or at least what society considers normal, and sometimes even manlier than many straight men. The ONLY thing they have differently is that instead of kissing a girl they kiss another man.

That said, we have many straight people with different ways of acting and mannerisms, so it's only logical we'd have gays like that too. I am also very bothered (You know what really grinds my gears) by gay people that shake their hands, talk loudly and call everyone a darling like they were in a theater play, but it's their way of being, we must learn to live with it.

I am against Gay Pride however, because gay people should - and want to - fight for equality, not exclusivity, and things like that just creates more disparities.








Okay, moving on then, before this thread starts to become a human rights forum...

You know what really grinds my gears? People judging someone else's problems merely on that person's age.

A thirteen year-old might just have as much reason to hate their life as someone in their forties. Just because your childhood was harmless, doesn't mean everyone else's is. Telling someone with a shitty situation at home (which they might even blame themselves for) that their problems are insignificant will only decrease their self-esteem even more.

Well what about thirteen year old kids who have a decent enough home, but still say they hate their life?

C-A

SP wasn't saying that there aren't whiny, bratty pre/teens who thinks their life is terrible when it isn't, but that not every pre/teen complaining about their life is just a whiny, bratty pre/teen who thinks their life is terrible when it isn't.

...I think.

And stop with that "Gay Pride" stuff, if we're allowed to advertise our fetishes like that I'm going to get "Pegging Anal Pride" Decals on my car.

I was going to just post a "well gay pride is different" post, but after some thinking, I think I figured out a bit of why it's different.


It's because there is discrimination and prejudice against gays, and so they're fighting for equality. But the reason they have to bring it out into the open with gay pride is because, unlike most other things that are the basis of discrimination, the fact that they're gay is something that can't be understood just by looking at them, but is also something that they probably can't hide forever. (I mean, yes, you could hide the fact that you're gay from everyone at your workplace or whatever forever, but... what if someone asks about your wife? Or asks to come over to your house?) In contrast, someone can tell if you're a woman or black or whatever just by looking at you (for the most part), and there's no reason your fetishes ever have to leave your bedroom.

...so yeah

(I mean, yes, you could hide the fact that you're gay from everyone at your workplace or whatever forever, but... what if someone asks about your wife? Or asks to come over to your house?)

If they're so fine with being gay then keep it to yourself, you don't see me walking around talking about how much ass I don't get.

Easy, you can simply way that you "don't have a wife" or say that you are "single".
Or you could be the type of person who says that they keep their work and personal life strictly separate - the type who might go out drinking or something after work with some co-workers, but doesn't hang out with them on weekends or introduce the other people in their personal life to them.



Heh, makes me think of Stewie from Family Guy.
"I'm not all in your face with my hetero sexuality."

But I guess being gay is like having a penis, religion or practically anything else that is important to you.
It's fine if you have it, just don't wave it in my face or shove it down my throat.
I seriously don't care if the person I'm talking to is homo or hetero sexual. If they're homo sexual and want something from me, then I'll tell them to back off.

C-A

That's just the thing, it IS something that can be kept just at the home. The exact same way other people are promiscuous or Eunuchs, These people don't need to feel like everyone else is OK with it, so they keep it to themselves.

They take symbols, they take words, they even take certain styles away from the rest of us just because they want to be different.

Look at it like this, during the existence of the USSR Red wasn't a color REAL AMERICANS weren't supposed to like. We have a period of history called the Red Scare. Anything having to do with this outlook on life was highly scrutinized.

Or how about the Nazis? You can't even have a certain type of moustache without being called one, and a perfectly harmless symbol of good luck was made taboo.

Now imagine stuff like this but with rainbows and "looking trim" unless a man is super gruff or practically covered in women there's always the question that a good looking man is gay. Fuck that, a man can't look good anymore without being seen as gay. I'm not a homo but I want to look fabulous

While we're on the subject of homsexuality: You know what really grinds my gears? Being called gay cause I watch MLP:FiM. Why does the age recommendations affect my sexuality? I don't see kids playing CoD or any M game for that matter being called adults, but if I watch a show (kinda) aimed at a younger demographic that makes me either gay or a pedo, or both. If we go by this logic: Older women that watch GI Joe or Transformers are therefore butch child molesters!

I'm sorry bro, that's just fact

While we're on the subject of MLP.

It really grinds my gears seeing how bronies have infected the web, it seems I can't go two feet without stepping in some MLP variant of something I like and groaning at how cutesy it is.

<< Doesn't see the difference in MLP fanart between other types of fanart.

You know what really grinds my gears? Memes. A part of me dies inside when I see the repetitive "You mad bro?" "Shut up and take my money!" macros over and over again. At least MLP fanart takes some kind of artistic expression to create where as memes you can just go to a website and get a picture to have a stupid memetic phrase on it. It's even worse on my Facebook.

I don't see it enough for it to be a problem. I only see the outright hatred and flaming. The lessons learned here: Take things in moderation, and don't be assholes who believe another human being should kill themselves for liking a show they don't agree with.

Yeah, just because someone likes Twilight (Or anything else that is popular and overrated) doesn't mean they should be put down for it. I say let the Twilight fans have their bloody fun and I can go back to doing whatever I like doing.

I think the strangest part about this is that they're implying that gay people would automatically like something cutesy and girly like MLP. I have a few gay friends who are EXTREMELY anti-pony. Gay people are going to have different likes and dislikes, just like any other subgroup of people.

This logic is also sort of implying that being gay is bad.

I know I'm backtracking but it's not my fault you guys start discussing ponies before I can reply Dx


Rather than blaming the gays for "taking" the symbols/words/styles, I think you should be blaming the society that prevents you from being "fabulous" like you want without being accused of being gay.

(also a guy secure with his heterosexuality would have no problems being fabulous~)
