To me, it doesnt matter that it's an uphill battle. Letting people away with it means that they still get away with it and nothing is accomplished. It's a big problem that isn't just going to go away. I'm obviously not being taken seriously by a lot of people, and I half expected that. I posted not to get revenge or have people get their comeuppance, but to voice my opinion. It's too bad that some people are proving me right, here. | ||

btw, this is the internet, there are no girls, and everyone knows when someone isn't around you can talk about them however you like. | ||

Perhaps just make use of the Starcraft resources and avoid the General Forum and Blogs. I'd probably be a lot happier if I ignored everything offensive. Unfortunately you can't ignore something that smacks you in the face everyday and is hurtful to you as a person. ..and I'm not just talking about TL here. | ||

Also, don't describe something as an economic theory when it's not. perhaps i should have said communism, not socialism, but either way neither of them are economic theories, although they derive much of their justification from the economic theory of welfare economics. nub | ||

I have this one that sits next to me in Calc, she consistently gets like 10 points lower than me on tests. btw, this is the internet, there are no girls, and everyone knows when someone isn't around you can talk about them however you like. There are a lot of girls on the internet. Most of them just don't stand up for themselves. You can see why, by the negative posts in this thread. Just because something is a social norm doesn't mean it's okay. | ||
