God Damn You Charlatans

Social Identity, it’s a funny word. When ignoring one self in social situations your social identity becomes that of “low self-esteem” and you’re supposed to be pitied. If you’re confident then someone will find you to be an asshole because you won’t agree with everything they say. If you agree with everything people think you’re shallow and care ( Read more... )

I dislike it when you use foul language. And this is my own perception of what negative and violent language is. I asked you not to say those things around me because it upsets me. Now if you were to talk about me as a person and genuinely put me down, and genuinely mean to hurt my feelings.. then I would be offended ( ... )

Untrue. I would say that its is absolutely acceptable to be offended, "choose to be offended" as you say, if someone attacks an ideal or person you care about, or acts in a manner detrimental and derogatory to others. If I may twist your words, when you choose to OFFEND you lose yourself, becoming too caught up in your own selfish tunnel vision and the adrenaline you feel from getting a rise out of others that you become a hypocrite of the worst order ( ... )

Uhh, kiddo, social identity is one term, not two combined. And it's a theory poking at the idea of intergroup discrimination.

I love how you just manipulated a concept you have minimal understanding of. I'm not sure whether to laugh or applaud.

Probably just applaud, then laugh at how numerous people could contravene almost every defense you just tried to make. Most of which had little to do with social identity or group conformity.

With all sincerity, though, nice effort proving you're just another schmuck.

p.s. I just need to touch up on this part, because it is bugging the fuck out of me, and it seriously needs to be argued. Words cannot be trusted, for the most part. Words are used to gain attention and convey ideas, but sometimes the lanes are crossed the smooth and easy comparison of objective knowledge and logic are obstructed by the subjective view of feelings. Feelings like personal vilification and offense, like hate, and acrimony..

I could just as easily argue that words are not useless, however unreliable, words can ( ... )

Don't feel the need to rant on the subject like everyone else >_>

Just know that you can't justify being a douchebag by saying that it's the person's fault for being offended. You have the choice to use words and actions against people, and making that action knowing somebody is going to be offended is wrong =/ You're just being stubborn.

wait wait, I DO have something else to say.

I don't give a shit what your opinion is on the matter because if you choose to be rude and offensive and self centered, then that's just FINE because the only person you can really hurt that way is yourself. Nobody wants to be around somebody who doesn't give a shit about their feelings. So if you want to be that way, FINE, just don't come blubbering to me when you've got no friends and can't get a job because you're such an asshole that NOBODY wants to be around you EVER.

It only makes sense that you were such a terrible boyfriend, you just didn't give a shit.

That sounded slightly angry.

DAMN YOU, ESTROGEN MONSTER!

The argument stands, though.
