What makes you angry?

People who thank me for doing things that I am legally obligated to do as though I had a choice

That's just polite, like saying good morning even when it isn't or hello even though you already see each other.

Autists who get mad about common social conventions make me mad.
 
The prison abolitionist movement. I hate the whole "poor baby, it's all society's fault that you do bad things" mentality. To the point that they'd rather blame society, gloss over violent criminals and the unrepentant, pretending they hardly exist and just toss some therapy for the victims. I'm for revising the prison system to prevent rapes and abuse and giving second chances, but people also need to face consequences for their actions and acknowledge that they had a hand in what they did by their own choice.

Oh lord, I hate that, too. The prison system in the U.S. is deeply flawed, certainly, and I loathe the "for profit prison industry". ...But that doesn't mean the whole thing needs to be abolished. It's a poor over-simplification of a complicated issue.

:powerlevel: But I majored in criminal justice and I love to read about true crime (books or articles and court cases).:powerlevel:
Make no mistake, there are plenty of unrepentant people in prison who didn't give a fuck about their crimes, who they've hurt.
 
I'll tell you what makes me angry... that crippling disabilities like cerebral palsy and severe autism exist, and the stigma they attract.

Are you saying that you want to make the people with the disabilities not exist of that you want to cure them?
 
When people try to get away with uploading episodes of tv shows and movies with "this is for educational purposes" bullshit
It doesn't make me angry, but it is extremely retarded. Or when they have that fair use copypasta. "blah blah blah fair use includes use for educational, critical or entertainment purposes" No, no it doesn't.

I mean, I don't care if you're violating copyright, go ahead, be my guest. Just quit trying to pull the stupid loophole shtick. It isn't real and it doesn't work.

It's like those people who were posting that shit on facebook that forbade facebook from using their material without their permission. People are dumb.
 
Wait so it's just a copypasta not something real.
Are you asking if people do actually try to pull the "entertainment = fair use" bit? Because yes, they do. I've noticed the same spiel on quite a few videos, so that seems like a common thing people slap on their videos to invoke some sort of non-existent loophole on copyright.

Let's see, this is the one I see a lot:
Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.

There's that very convenient comma between "non-profit" and "educational". It should be "non-profit educational". Another one you'll see "for entertainment purposes only, no copyright intended!".

It's on par with prostitutes asking their johns if they're cops.

Fair use is indeed a real thing. But no, entertainment isn't an exception. Neither is the fact that you're giving it away for free.

That's especially stupid because Facebook TOS which you have to click through to even use the site explicitly gives them those rights. If you don't agree to that, technically your use of the site is fraudulent and, in theory, prosecutable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

If want to know something, I think that adoption can work. However, my main problem with it is that the institution essentially adheres to the just-world hypothesis; that everything is sunshine and bunnies, and everything happens for a good reason. If you wind up in a good family, you're blessed. If you don't, He moves in mysterious ways. The hard reality is that we don't live in an ideal world. This doesn't mean there aren't good people willing to adopt and love a child as their own, don't get me wrong.

Another thing that pisses me off about the pro-life movement in general, including prospective adoptive parents (PAPs for short) on the libertarian right, is this rabid distrust of the government. I agree that the powers that be are full of shit; like diapers, they need to be changed regularly. However, the libertarian PAPs seemingly want to do away with background checks by either minimizing government involvement in the process or outright privatizing adoption, period. Seriously, if you think that you're fit to raise a kid, then why the hell do you freak out about the authorities digging into your past in an effort to prove your case?

You start by trying to look sane and then you post utter lunacy like this.

Holy fuck you are right back to the batshit insanity of your anti-adoption shit.

WHICH IS BUGFUCK CRAZY AND EVERYONE HAS TOLD YOU THIS.

The only advice any well-intentioned advisor could possibly give you is to get the fuck out of here, quit this shit, and move on with your life.

This is why I'm just posting this shit you sent to me because I have no fucking idea why you sent it to me, and you're right back to acting like a lunatic anyway.

How could I possibly not post this to this thread?

Are you utterly fucking retarded? How can you not have figured out this site to this extent after all the times this has happened to you?

Why do I feel guilty about posting this?

I wrote that adoption post here before I messaged you, and by the way, I don't notice anything remotely anti-adoption about it. I said it could work. I sent you a PM out of kindness. I even posted a comment on the profile of @Phil Ken Sebben because I like his avatar, and I wanted to start some kind of conversation with him. I was intending to do the same with you, without any sort of ulterior motive. You want to know how Phil responded? He called me a faggot without any real provocation. There's a lot of hostility and vitriol on this site.

Get it right Connor. I called you a "colossal faggot" but using the term "faggot" in a non-sexual way you know how you might call somebody you know.

The point was, you started this off not on a PM but on my wall with, "still using the same avatar I see..." which totally lacks any kind of context. So I respond in kind. You get what it is you sow. Had you wanted to start a kind of convo you should have started it in a PM. You could have opened with an inane remark, led into how you like the avatar and then go from there. But no. You chose to be a faggot and here we are.

Don't blame me for your inadequacies. Now if you'll excuse me, it's 8:30 in the morning, my GF has finally woken up and we're heading out for breakfast. Laters.

The problem is you don't want friends, you want someone to constantly kiss your ass and tell you how wonderful and intelligent you are. Real friendship involves give and take.
