    facts don't matter, only who says it matters?

    If the person has proven themselves to be duplicitous, I'll have a hard time believing them. Whether they're lying at this particular time doesn't matter. What matters is that they have previous, and as such they are not trustworthy. If they provide source material or proof of something, then...

    facts don't matter, only who says it matters?

    If a liar tells me something, why should I believe it? I'd rather hear it from a credible source as opposed to a person who has proven themselves to be untrustworthy.

    Trolls Face Two-Year Jail Terms

    Not really. I checked my own IP address on various IP checker websites. Two said my IP address is in London. One says Hull. One says Torquay (which is close, but not quite). One says Cardiff (which, for reference is in Wales, a different COUNTRY). The exact same IP address is shown on each...

    Trolls Face Two-Year Jail Terms

    RE: Web Trolls To Face Two-Year Jail Terms ...and yet when I was attacked in my school with a wooden bat, my attacker was forced to write an apology letter. Making threats is one thing. Carrying them out is another. And at this point, it's starting to seem like you get off lighter if you do...

    I tripped over when I was about 5 and went headfirst through a plate glass door.

    Religion now allowed!

    I think it's because nowadays, science can prove things that in those days, nobody could. What is that big yellow thing in the sky? Why do old people stop breathing? etc. Now of course, we know the answers to questions like that, but back then they had to rely on something else. So they...

    Online Stalker

    A couple of teenagers took a liking to me on a flash gaming/social website, and made mimic/troll accounts of my username. It ended pretty quickly , due to a little techno-wizardry and a little help from somebody who knew them but wasn't into the whole trolling thing, I simply announced their...

    There Is One God....

    The one thing I find odd, mostly with Christianity but to a lesser degree other religions, is that their followers tend to do the opposite of what their holy book tells them to. A lot of religious people absolutely love telling other people that they are religious, that they are correct, and...

    Women as Background Decoration: Part 1 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games

    I'm pretty sure this is the woman who had a Kickstarter and got people to donate money so she could play videogames in the name of "research" into feminist issues. Very passionate, that she wouldn't do it unless she got paid to. Also, I say this whenever someone uses the "videogames cause...

    St. Louis Rally

    We are not our forefathers. They are not their forefathers. The owners of the stores they looted most likely had done nothing wrong to any of them. The owners of those stores didn't chain the looters up, beat them with whips and force them to pick cotton. Probably, the owners had never even met...

    Ferguson Protesters Raise 'Black Lives Matter' Banner At Rams MNF Game

    So. To protest against racial profiling, they commit crimes which further enforces the racial stereotyping? Sounds like one step forward, ten steps back.

    Girl, 5, made to sign contract promising not to kill anyone

    I imagine they'll just pass it off as some form of homework, or other bullshit.

    Ebola Virus

    So I guess zero. Compare ebola to... just about anything else, and I guarantee the odds are stacked that the other thing is more likely to kill you than ebola is.

    Feminist declares ISIS videos fake

    Additionally, in most cases maternity leave is 12 months. On the flipside, the father only gets 6 months for their paternity leave. Female children are also completely legally protected from genital mutilation. Anything down there is safe unless you plan on breaking the law somehow. But...

    Feminist declares ISIS videos fake

    Is there such a thing as a meninist? Y'know, someone fighting for male rights. Because there are rights that women have which men don't, which means neither males nor females are equal. Come to think of it, why not scrap feminism and pick something less egocentric? "Equalism" perhaps. 100%...
