| I think too many people define themselves based on what they don't do. It's always "I don't drink", "I don't do drugs", "I don't eat meat", "I don't follow a religion", ect. Personally, I'm not impressed. I want to know what you DO, not what you don't do. Not doing things doesn't help other people or further civilization or offer any benefit to me. It's those focused on doing things that make a difference in the world. | | |

| Why is it that every time there's a post on xanga about issues within a religion, people feel the need to profess the fact that they don't believe in a god? That's like if two co-workers were talking about issues with their workplace and I contributed to the conversation by saying "I don't work there." Nobody cares that you think god is fake. and even fewer people care about why you think god is fake. It doesn't make you smarter than them. You're not some prodigy, clued in on some hidden secret that these other people have never been exposed to. You're just another average person with a different world view than some other average people. Get over yourself.

| In response to some of the comments made on a recent Mancouch post:
Why exactly is it so wrong for men to stand up for who they are? Anytime a man tries to call out the bullshit they're expected to put up with from day to day, they're berated by women (and other "men") and called "assholes", "douchebags", "pigs", and other such things. Well, forgive me for thinking a man has his own value beyond servitude to women. And because of that value, I have the right to be the way I am. I have the right to prefer a beer and a movie over a night out at a nice restaurant. I have the right to think about muscle cars when my girl wants to talk about dresses. I have the right to spend my afternoon playing Call of Duty without being disturbed by things that aren't pressing issues. These are things that I enjoy, things that make me happy. I should not be expected to turn my back on them for no legitimate reason.
If I'm expected to accept all the things girls like that don't really give me any pleasure, then it's not out of line to ask them to do the same. If you disagree, then I'm glad to hear it. Now I won't have to worry about accidentally wasting my time with a spoiled brat like you.
And to the guys who join the women in their bashing of man-spirit..... we all know you're just doing it to impress girls. You can go ahead and stop fronting. Unless, of course, you feel strongly that's it's a fair trade to give up your balls for a kiss on the cheek.

| I've been really bothered by a concept I've been seeing a lot lately. People love to talk about overcoming oppression because of the way they are, but then proceed to do the same thing to a different type of person. If you're fat, don't raise your self-esteem by bashing skinny people. If you're gay, don't throw stones at religious people to make yourself feel better about being made fun of. If you're nerdy, don't boast yourself by demeaning athletic people. And if you're a christian, don't try to justify yourself by talking down to atheists.
I think the majority of us would agree that it was never okay for anyone to attack you for these things in the first place. But, by employing this kind of tactic, you accomplish nothing more than to become just as bad as those you hate.
