  1. Lying in bed having people tell me my writing is good and not believing a word they say. I wish I had more straightforward friends. Not the ones that soften shit up because they think you can't handle the truth. My friends and family have always had the tendency to put me on a pedestal and they get upset when I fall from it. Does this sound egotistical? I dunno. Maybe this should be in the vent thread, but it technically is on topic.

     

    Also, I'm eating ice cream (at fuckin 2AM)

  2. Love the song, love the video:

    My mom had the most extensive collection of Sheryll Crow when I was a kid, and that song is so hardwired into my brain that I can't help but smile hearing that. That video was great.

  3. I kinda stopped believeing in god because when im the kind of person who the bible is agaisnt.

     

    Remember, the Bible was written by Medieval monks. It's a tad biased. If you're talking about homosexuality/ sexual deviance, you have to moreso look at the community and people in the church itself as opposed to the book it is based on. There are numerous gays at my Uncle's methodist church. Many Christian churches tolerate and love people of any sexuality. God isn't about what some dusty old book says you should believe. God is about what you believe based on what you see around you. One shouldn't release faith because of what they've been taught of the faith. Your faith or lack thereof should be dependent only on your own inner feelings and thoughts, not those that others press upon you.

  4. Again, you absolutely disregard the concept of training. To pass US Army basic training, you have to run I believe 2 miles in 15 minutes with a 50 lb duffle bag on your back. You also have a weight lifting routine you have to do.

     

    And in case you weren't aware (considering the "let alone legs..." statement), the lower body strength of a woman is typically MUCH greater than her upper body.

     

    You're also making a lot of hollow statements with no backup:

    It is not the appropriate place for a woman. What the fuck, you look at a battle field, lets say in the harshest conditions like Stalingrad or Leningrad and you think women should be fighting there? The fucking dogs don't even stay there. You can look at Iraq and think a woman could fare well in there, but war is hell.

     

    What does this prove? Absolutely nothing. War is hell, yes. What makes that unsuitable for a woman who wants to be there? How is any of that statement true? Prove me wrong. Use some actual evidence.

     

    You have it in your mind that a woman just isn't capable of going to the bathroom in public when it's necessary. Why? Is she mentally incapable? All women are too shy to relieve themselves

    in front of someone else? How can you even begin to prove that?

     

    All in all, that counterargument you used there, no matter how many swears and rhetorical questions you use, was unbelievably idiotic. You sound like a toddler who was just told Santa Claus isn't real. Your spewing illogical garbage at me after I gave you factual information. I'm no feminist. I simply believe that any person who wants to do something should be allowed to do that so long as they are physically and mentally capable. You obviously aren't close with many women, because I think you'll find they're much stronger (both mentally and physically) than you seem to believe.

     

    By the way Vap, I thoroughly enjoyed reading that post. It's always mentally refreshing to read something produced by someone with good debating skills and an intellect to match.

  5. I don't see a problem with it. She would have the exact same character she has now, not some shell of a character only there for political correctness. And, I mean, there's no problem with having a little diversity in the show.

  6. It’s not something we were supposed to talk about but back when I wrestled for a short while in high school we had a “boner jar”. Had to put a dollar in if someone ever noticed you had a boner.

     

    Never had to put in a dollar which, one day, lead to a couple of kids accusing me of being gay for being able to control it (I still don’t understand the logic) and one of the other kids just goes “and you fags won’t shut up about his dick, are you going to ask him out or what”

     

    And now, I aspire to be like you, forever and always.

    Dear god, Harshwhinny's facial expressions were hilarious. IT'S LEVIO- SAAAUUUUUOOOHHH!

     

    Awesome episode. One of my fav CMC eps. Song was pretty darn good. The lesson was good. I liked all of it a bunch. I give it an 8-9/10

     

    It was nice of her friends and Rainbow Dash to come visit her at the orphanage to cheer her up.

     

    I wasn't the only one thinking that haha!

     

    Also, I can't help but feel that with how insanely fast Scootaloo is able to flap her wings, she's going to be one fast mothafucka when she gets skybound. Dem wing muscles gon be nice and strong!

     

  8. Another thing I would add is that there are physical differences between men and women. Men have more upper body strength. Adding women to the military would require lowering the standards of men. In a combat situation, if someone is hit by a bullet, it is required that he is carried out. Most women can't carry a 190 pound man for 100 or more yards. This lowers combat effectiveness, and would result in more deaths. Also, in the army you have to dedicate in front of others, in bags and bottles. Very difficult for women. Women are only good for defensive combat, like the IDF.

     

    I can't agree with this. Upper body strength is not required to carry a person. You "fireman carry" a person (over the shoulder) so all the weight is on the back and legs. Considering military personnel are thoroughly conditioned and trained REGARDLESS of sex, a woman in the forces would easily be able to carry someone. 100 yards, by the way, is nowhere near how far you have to carry a downed soldier. You simply have to get him to cover, continue the firefight, and wait for a med evac.

     

    Also, I'm a man and I have less upper body strength than a lot of women, but I have very strong legs (squat 450+ lbs).

     

    As far as your second to last statement, I'm assuming you meant "defecate," and that's just ridiculous. Unless you're in a multi-day battle, there are portable bathrooms at any and all bases. And when it's THAT necessary to relieve yourself in the field, no sane human would have a second thought about dropping a load wherever needed.

     

    Honestly, what you wrote there comes off as VERY sexist and ignorant.
