Serving in the military doesn’t make you a hero. That term is used far too often, in my opinion.
I am an atheist, and I say "merry christmas". It's not an affirmation of faith, just a fancy way of saying hello 3weeks out of the year. If someone was offended I would say happy holidays/happy new year to them specifically, but I don't find the phrase out of context offensive.
Both theists and atheists have expressed their dislike for me for having this differing opinion. To me it's like hating someone for not being a vegetarian, you can't help it if you don't find something offensive.
The only reason Doctor Who is still going is because the studio was smart enough to change their product from pandering to nerdy middle aged men to having a younger hip cast that appeals to teenage girls.
In fact that works for every nerdy product including super hero movies. As long as they have lots of hot man chest they will do well.
We're making the world too controlled and safe. Especially for kids. Like yeah do what you can to make sure they don't die, but they need a bit of a rough and tumble every now and then.
Reddit will probably agree with me, so I guess the people who would get angry at me are the overprotective parents. There's a way to put boundaries on a kid that doesn't stifle them. Let the kid do what he wants. Let them climb up that tree, let them play some full contact sport. Let them FUCKING lose a game, less of this "we don't count the score" bullshit. You know what kids hate more than losing? Being made to feel like little kids. I'd rather lose after trying than have some bullshit rule that just makes me feel like I'm being patronised.
"Oh don't worry John, they might have scored 3 more goals than you but we're all winners!"
No. John is the fucking loser. Let him cry if he's a little bitch about losing. Let him realise that his little world doesn't bend to his whim. Because it sure as fuck doesn't bend to him in the real world.
I'm just sick of seeing kids being mollycoddled. They cry over nothing and then grow up to be entitled little bastards. Like Jesus Christ John, its not your fault that you're broke. No way, all you do is laze about all day and complain there's no jobs. It's definitely everyone else's fault because you're a perfect little princess.
Fuck you John.

Mozilla's CEO: I lost my job (caught opposing gay marriage)
— NowThis News (@nowthisnews) April 3, 2014
Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich resigns over Prop 8 controversy.
Mozilla is a web browser, like Internet Explorer and Google's Chrome. Between you and me, I hate Chrome, but that's not what this post is about.
From an Andrew Sullivan Post...
It turns out that Eich (Mozilla's CEO) might have saved his job had he recanted, like all heretics must. But given the choice of recanting, he failed. Hence the lighting of the fires:
Throughout the interviews, it was not hard to get the sense that Eich (Mozilla's CEO) really wanted to stick strongly by his views about gay marriage, which run counter to much of the tech industry and, increasingly, the general population in the U.S. For example, he repeatedly declined to answer when asked if he would donate to a similar initiative today.
He did not understand that in order to be a CEO of a company, you have to renounce your heresy! There is only one permissible opinion at Mozilla, and all dissidents must be purged! Yep, that’s left-liberal tolerance in a nut-shell...
This is a repugnantly illiberal sentiment. It is also unbelievably stupid for the gay rights movement. You want to squander the real gains we have made by argument and engagement by becoming just as intolerant of others’ views as the Christianists? You’ve just found a great way to do this. It’s a bad, self-inflicted blow. And all of us will come to regret it.
The in-tray is inundated with your dissents, which we will air in full tomorrow, since it will some time to find the strongest counterpoints.
