But I was born feeling like Overlord of Bark Scorpions. It's not a choice. I have a right to identify as ovelord of whatever kind of scorpion I feel like. Science might say technically I am a human, but how I feel is obviously more factual. Where is the line? This is a serious question. Where is the line where it becomes absurd?
LOL ok new topic: Discuss Thoughts about Rachel Dolezai
LOL Everyone, i do not identify with humanity anymore, because of its cruel … moreinhumane, ideals, so now i want to be a DOLPHIN Human. All my life, i never identified with humanity. I never felt right, until i was eight years old and played Ecco the dolphin. Then life just made sense. I was no longer lost in the shadows of humanity, and so now am changing my race to Dolphaneese. We are a proud people. We Swim in the ocean, and eat a lot of white fish. We make love in the sunset.
Do not discriminate against us Dolphaneese, for we are the FUTURE OF HUMANITY.
My theory is that it's backwash from the "unpopular opinions thread". The combatants ruined their old battlefield, so now they've come here to continue their endless bickering.

This is absolutely petty of me but I'm getting irrationally angry at birds.
They keep stealing all my dogs' food (I have to keep the food… more in the garden because the bags are ripped and would get the house dirty) and my dogs are too blind to see them when I let them outside. They shit all over the garden and no matter how much I try, they won't fucking leave. Now they even camp in the garden waiting for a chance to ninja their way to a feast.
I don't know what to do about this.

Personally i am like Tom Cruise when it comes medication. I… more believe people't need it, and no one will ever convince me that most of the medications people take are needed. People get addicted, physically, psychologically, whatever and start taking pill after pill after pill. Dr's are the biggest drug dealers in our country. I can't wait until robots replace their overpaid ass, but that is for a different forum post.
I remember going to college, not dealing with the adderall shit. Now who knows how hard it is, because you have all these kids abusing adderall just to pass a test. Its gone OUT OF CONTROL. When you got to rely on a amphetamine to pass a test, you got problems.
i remember when I even saw a therapist for a while. She wanted to prescribe me a drug called Zoloft, and i asked her if their were any side effects. She told me that it may lead me to… [view original content]
When you get into an argument, political, math problem, maybe a movie or something, and the person starts to make assumptions about you. If I for example don't support someone using their sex/race/sexuality/blah blah blah to, let's say, get their own room in a house just for the sake of their _____, I automatically am a sexist/racist/homophobe/blah blah blah. I don't support people marching in a parade (not like one of those ____ pride parades, they're hosted with the idea of pride of a certain group. I don't care about those), with the banners 'White Male' or 'Black Gay' etc., and I only mention one of the examples in an argument that I don't support and the person assumes I'm a racist or something. The more people act like these differences matter, the worse the situation gets.
Boy do I agree. During last year there was an argument I had with my friend about racism and stuff. He brought up Treyvon Martian and what's his name that were killed by cops, I disagreed that it was purely racism that did that nor was it an abuse of power. He started going around telling people I'm racist and I agree that black people should be killed...Asshole.
Ahem, but yeah, assumptions get worse if not corrected.
You know what I hate?

When it is registered as a disorder or not. As far as im aware there isnt a such thing as animal identify disorder, or overload identify disorder. So theres the line for you.
We could say the same about gay marriage could we not? I mean where is the line? Soon we will have incest marriage a sibling marriage legal right?

Wait a couple years, some quack doctor will write a book about people who think they're foxes or something like that and we'll be having this same conversation again.

Okay so logically what you're saying is peolpe shouldnt be able to choose there gender (even though most doctors agree gender identity disorder is a real thing and its just not one). Because one doctor in the whole world will say some humans want to be foxes even though there isnt any evidence i've seen wanting to be a different animal is a real disorder.
Now im not saying that a few people out there want to be animals, but its not a registered thing they have.

If you want to talk logically then people just are what they are born, so sayeth science. Until someone naturally transforms their chromosomes. I thought we were talking hypothetically. I'm not really Overseer of Bark Scorpions. And actually, George's post was about the white lady who says she's black, gender stuff has nothing to do with it.

I found something to complain about.
I was on Skype ... Minding my own business... When out of the blue I got a friend request. I was a … morelittle preoccupied so I didn't have time to look at it. I mentioned to ignore it but I guess I accepted it. Not today, this person starts to talk to me. At first its all cool like, "Hi how are you?". Then all the sudden she flips the table and is all like " you wanna fuck?" (I wasn't actually stated like that, but she did ask if I wanted to see her naked.) And, well I'm all for the ladies, but I'm just fifteen for heaven's sake. So I went through a thirty minutes of trying to figure out how to delete contacts and delete messages so my parents wouldn't see it. And now I feel like an ass because I blocked her. Well, let this be a lesson. Don't Skype and work at the same time. It doesn't work.
Agreed, but instead of venting emotions and problems (such as the firsts comments on this thread), people here now are venting political views.
So? Well... nobody is helping each other. One of the main objectives of this thread is to help one another, but the political views are just making it worse and worse with the never ending arguments. As I said once before on this thread,
I (and, hopefully, many others) tolerate suggestions to help out [...] I'd like to keep this thread with the leasts dispute
You know what's bulllllllshit? Nintendo keeps releasing new versions of their 2 year-old consoles and leaving other users behind. So they have to buy the new one again! How the fuck does that work?
Now switch this logic to a minority country who are having these complaints about a certain race Imagine if I went to their education system became a professor and stood up and said EVERYONE IS RACIST AND SEXIST ONLY PEOPLE LIKE ME WHITE MALES the minority here MAY ONLY BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK FIRST AND ANSWER QUESTIONS
Your response would be but that makes no sense everyone is equal in education no matter your sex. race or origin why should these uncontrollable details of myself from birth affect my education and put me behind everyone else, everyone has a right to speak that just pure racism and sexism that's insane does anyone see the Irony of this idea
Agreed, but instead of venting emotions and problems (such as the firsts comments on this thread), people here now are venting political vie… morews.

Bullshit (not you, the university policy), the whole point is to have a discussion about racism and sexism. While it certain is necessary to hear from people who have drawn the short straw of inequality, to alienate other parties hinders the learing process and is counter-productive.
Now to bitch about the forums - I feel like it's the same way as since The Walking Dead ended; whenever somebody says something heinous, rather than being continually called out for it, and a dialogue to begin about how wrong there are, too often the discussion is closed and the commenter banned. Racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia isn't combatted through silencing; it's combatted through information about the parties invovled and a critique of the rationale between the bigot's thinking.
XD someone made a comparison

Ugh, that doesn't solve anything. If students have something constructive to say in class, they should be able to do so, regardless of race or gender. Everyone pays (ridiculously expensive) tuition, so prioritizing one group of students over another is completely unfair.

If i wanted to be black would you have something against my decision?
Are you Black? I deal with reality, not fantasy. I don't care.
f you want to have a dolphin lifestyle then go right ahead i dont get why you have to be so rude though
if you wanted to be a dolphin go right ahead i dont care because it doesnt affect my life
What if it does effect your life, what i mean is; what if i became a great leader for my people, and waged war against our enemies the
Japanese. Our children will no longer be served as food.
If you want to have a dolphin lifestyle then go right ahead i dont get why you have to be so rude though
Its not like i got on the cover of Vanity Fair in my snorkel outfit. Aren't you the one who called me ignorant, this post was about Rachel whatever her name was, somehow it became about Transgendered people.
Kinda hurtful that you compare wanting to be a different race or gender to wanting to be a different animal, It's ignorant. If i wanted to b… moree black would you have something against my decision? Infact honestly if you wanted to be a dolphin go right ahead i dont care because it doesnt affect my life. If you want to have a dolphin lifestyle then go right ahead i dont get why you have to be so rude though. People who want to be a different gender cant help it, its what they desire and i honestly dont think changing genders or race is the same as changing animals.
I'd sue, and probably win. I would love if someone would do that to me, i'd sue the school, the professor, SALLIE Mae, anyone i could. Its the American WAY.

I love that drive by arguments. Old Family Guy is the best Family Guy.
People vent their issues. Seems on track...
Identifying with another culture is fine. Living a lie isn't.
But fuck it, go be a dolphin. Whatever makes you happy.

That's what I was thinking too, the arguments seem way too familiar :P
The problem is this forum has everyone from tumblr to 4chan so there are often arguments.
Usually forums tend to be right or left wing, its quite refreshing to have one more centralized

I despise those winged horrors. Especially seagulls.

Yeah I don't exactly come here often since I knew there'd be arguments.

A fair point, but I would argue that the backlash from these comments is far from a constructive dialogue. Usually, it goes down like this.
In my opinion, the ratio of enlightenment : butthurt isn't high enough to justify that ordeal.
Be careful, that stuff is dangerous. Anything that changes your brain chemistry, i might want to think about.
You need to get more desperate then. I want to see you doing things you will regret later in life. That is what life is about.
