In reply to the discussion: Do any of the rest of you feel like this? [View all]MrSlayer
(22,143 posts)40. No, because I couldn't care less about what people think of me.
On an anonymous message board. I say what I think most of the time, the rest of the time I just erase what I wanted to say to avoid being kicked off. I think people on here are way too sensitive and love to make mountains out of molehills. The whole boobs thing on the Oscars is a prime example of people just looking for an excuse to be outraged over absolutely nothing.
All I know is that I'd hate to live in a world where everything is watered down and homogenized to the point where you can't even make jokes anymore.
If anyone remembers the society portrayed in the so bad it's good Stallone movie "Demolition Man" you know what I mean. I feel like I'm Dennis Leary's character around here a lot of the time.

There's not much purpose in alerting unless you just want to prove the double standard exists

right, if you don't say anything you have nothing to offer except snark and "harmful images"

Part of the reason I picked this particular username, is because I recognize that to some extent
