Liberals are so stupid!

I don’t know who’s more stupid: the teacher, the “brave” Navy guy, or whoever created this story up.

No… wait, I do know who’s more stupid: the person who created this story up. 

Everyone knows that it is a joke, right?

LMAOOOOOO I love this.

LOL THIS!

Douchebags need to realise that relationships and sex are not parts of a transaction. I treat my other half to meals out and movies and other little gifts because I enjoy treating her. NOT because I expect anything back. 

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they are 

I know because I watch anime so I’m an expert

Since when does Friendzoning mean “No sex”?

^What Felix said. I wondered the same thing last night when I first saw this, but I thought maybe it was just me. I think this is a misunderstanding of the term ‘friend zoning.’

Here’s a little Guy Talk 101: ‘friend zoning’ has little or nothing to do with sex, unless you’re with a bunch of douche bags/pickup artists (same thing IMO). There’s this unspoken rule when guys are in groups that you’re not supposed to talk directly about your feelings. When a guy says to his friends, “She put me in the friend zone,” it’s roughly the equivalent of saying, “She rejected me (and I’m quite sad about it).” It also doesn’t mean, as I’ve seen suggested in other places, that he doesn’t value this particular girl as a friend. If a guy has feelings for a girl, even if she’s his friend and he loves her as such, is it really that unusual for him to be disappointed that she doesn’t reciprocate?

And when said dude’s guy friends start saying shit like, “Forget her, bro,” and “Whatever man, you can do better,” it’s not because they really have anything against the girl. Again, guys in groups generally don’t talk about feelings directly, so this is the equivalent of putting an arm around their friend and saying, “Hey, cheer up. Plenty of fish in the sea. You’ll find the right girl eventually.” Just… without actually doing that. BECAUSE WE’RE MEN AND HEAVEN FORBID WE HAVE ANY FEELINGS. So we have to be tough and abrasive around each other. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s the way it is. There you have it. Guy talk demystified.

Sweet Disposition: Face The Fact: He's Just Not That Into You

sunshinebarbiefireandice:

I had a witty yet deep conversation with a good friend earlier about relationships, guys in general, their attributes and the like. This conversation led me to sorting out one of the best overwhelmingly mind-opening book-turned-movie (He’s Just Not That Into You) about analyzing truth about guys…

bless this post.

Agree with a lot of this, and it also applies in reverse. I’ve been with girls whom I loved with every ounce of my being, but who were just not meeting me halfway (or even a quarter of the way) in the relationship. I ignored all the red flags and ended up heartbroken. It’s the worst feeling in the world. It changed the way I deal with relationships forever. Save yourself the hurt and find someone who really wants to be with you.

Another Godless Goddess: Why We Need a Reason Rally

America is one of the most religious countries in the world. And if you are non-religious, it can seem that without religion you cannot be elected to public office, cannot be considered a moral or ethical person, or be considered a patriot. It does not appear to matter what religious beliefs you…

The Pursuit of Knowledge

I love learning for its own sake, even if what I learn is not of immediate practical importance to me. The problem with learning things that you THINK will be useful to you is that you cannot always estimate the future importance of something you learn. You never know when a subject that seemed completely unrelated to anything in your life may provide you with a novel way of looking at the situation you’re faced with.

I’m not necessarily saying that learning should be an insurance policy. What I want to say is that if you find learning fun, if you have a thirst for knowledge, don’t let people discourage you by saying, “Okay, but what’s the practical importance of this?” What you learned simply for the pleasure of learning could lead you to a groundbreaking discovery, whether to the benefit of your own life or to the benefit of all of humanity. It could allow you to change the world. Don’t be ashamed of your curiosity, of your quest for truth and knowledge. Embrace it. After all, who do you think advances the state of humanity? The willfully ignorant? No. It’s people like you.


Are you really surprised by the endurance of religion? What ideology is likely to be more durable than one that conforms, at every turn, to our powers of wishful thinking? Hope is easy; knowledge is hard. Science is the one domain in which we human beings make a truly heroic effort to counter our innate biases and wishful thinking. Science is the one endeavor in which we have developed a refined methodology for separating what a person hopes is true from what he has good reason to believe. The methodology isn’t perfect, and the history of science is riddled with abject failures of scientific objectivity. But that is just the point—these have been failures of science, discovered and corrected by—what, religion? No, by good science.

Tumblr Staff: A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs

staff:

One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech,…

I’m a little conflicted about this. Not on First Amendment grounds (I don’t think that necessarily applies here; Tumblr is a private blog hosting provider and can set its own rules about what you can and cannot post, much like an online forum), but because this simply means that people running self-harm and mutilation blogs will go elsewhere. At first glance, one might say, “So what?” However, the site people migrate to may not care as much or have similar help messages in the event that someone is searching for or viewing pro-ana content and the like. They may even move to a site that is sympathetic to the promotion of such ideas, making it even less likely that they’ll get the help they need. Food for thought.
