If correct, maybe make a character and play it secretly never use voice on that toon and don't tell people who you are. Meet new people, establish new relationships and enjoy p99 whenever you feel like it without any weirdos bothering you.

What a great nuanced idea... one I definitely couldn't have thought up myself and one that I am definitely not currently putting into practice.

Also, dunno what the hell Kerbey's damage is with me. I think we've communicated like once ever in game at a Venerate Rustle raid. I was not stepping on your mod rods, ok.

Anyway....

Exactly. Feminism means equal treatment, not "pretend both genders are identical". Now to be fair:
...
Same thing with maternity leave/paternity leave. No feminist is saying "men have to push a baby out, they need time off". They're just saying "hey, there's a lot more to this whole baby-rearing thing than just the 'pushing out' part, and men should get the same opportunity for involvement in that as women".

Right, yes. Not specifically related, but more as a broad statement to a lot of the comments in this thread: If I were to take the first stance mentioned above as a feminist, and aim my ire at say Men's Rights Activists, I'd label them as chauvinists, bigots, sexist, dramatic, etc. etc. But I, a self-identified proud feminist, understand there are extremes in all groups whether it's a political party, a religion, GAMERS, etc. I know MRA has some reasonable demands (paternity leave, fairer custody litigation that doesn't automatically favor the mother, having a choice over their bodies [circumcision].) Feminism is VERY reasonable. Equality is the foundation. I acknowledge extremists exist that quite frankly, annoy the shit out of me, too. They may be the loudest but they are not the majority.

Can anyone do the math to determine what the numbers are per capita?

[loramin]

Last I checked most Jews were white. But more importantly that is clearly a biased list, as I don't see lots of recent accusations. For instance:

• Blake Farenthold (Texas Congressman, white)
• Morgan Spurlock (Movie Director, white)
• Tavis Smiley (Host on PBS, black)
• NFL Network Analysts Marshall Faulk, Ike Taylor and Heath Evans (Black, Black, White)

Finding those took like 2 minutes of Googling. I'm sure I, or whoever compiled that list, could easily have found a ton more ... if they weren't specifically trying to compile a list that made Jews look bad that is.

uh, ill pass on cancling LCK's new tv show in the name of protecting these people.

Also side note, 300 employees that were hired to work on that show lost their jobs.

The best part is, in 4 years, LCK will be back on the top, and those 300 employees will be where they were the day they lost their jobs, working hard for their living.

So all you did was make 300 employees lose their job with this *fox* outrage... you didnt harm LCK, you didnt change anything, all you did is harm innocent people, and then the person you think you harmed will be back on the entertainment map once its all blown over anyway.

If hally berry can hit and run murder people and still get movies, LCK and anyone else you think you dethroned will too.

Who said anything about LCK or rich people? Fash posted an anti-semitic list (also of rich people) and I posted some non-Jewish examples that weren't on the list.

And whichever show the network decided to replace LCK's show with hired 300 employees who got jobs they otherwise wouldn't have. There might even be some overlap between the two groups. That's life in TV production, shows get cancelled.

I'm not usually one to pick on spelling, but the word is faux; fox outrage would be something entirely different ...

While I can't speak to his actual mental state (since I don't know the guy), I'm pretty sure LCK isn't exactly loving life right now.

Also, why are you arguing with Louis CK himself? Even he said he did it, and he said it was wrong:

There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. ... The hardest regret to live with is what you’ve done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them.

did I say that his list was of not rich people? all the people ALL the people your ilk talk about are rich people, im calling you out and saying I dont, nor does america, care about rich people. The same way you dont actually care about poor people. its obvious your feminism is coccodyle tears to help your own rich people get payed more and have more leave of absense when you have a kid, but you wont be helping a single mother fucker that works at waffle house. Youre greedy and corrupted.

And whichever show the network decided to replace LCK's show with hired 300 employees. That's life in TV production, shows get cancelled.

no man, the show was cancled cus your ilk made it seem like he was the devil, not cus "life in TV" the show wasnt being cancled until your ilk made a mountain out of fake news.

I'm not usually one to pick on spelling, but the word is faux; fox outrage would be something entirely different ...

no its FOX because fox news is all you talk about and its ironically all you listen to, only its got a differnet name VOX or CNN or MSNBC etc etc

I'm pretty sure LCK isn't exactly loving life right now ...

did I say he was? NOPE! did I say he would be in 4 years when hes back on top and you have all forgoten about your outrage? YEP!

You said he wasn't harmed, I was replying that I do think he has been harmed (although not by me, despite your pronoun usage).
