Nothing. So if you say dumb shit, you get called an idiot. And that's what happened... A famous person did it, so it gets retweeted and posted by entertainment press that covers social media.

There is literally nothing more to this, except when jealous alpha-wannabes try to make a bigger deal of it.

which feeds into the argument whereby everyone should be on a level playing field - everyone takes whatever substance they want

of course, we can never do this as the health detriment is significant, but it's an interesting thought.

i certainly don't want someone winning due to an unfair non-natural / non-hard work advantage

Well, with this getting so much exposure, we might see some controversial articles come to light

HAHAHA...

the irony...

her husband looks like such a fucking wimp of a man. How could she even put her husband in the spotlight like that with such disregard to HOW THINGS ACTUALLY ARE LOL. Just fuckin LOOK with her eyes lol.

She's gotta cast abraca-pullherheadouttaherass, she's in too deep with her kiddy wizard stories.

It feels like if this over the top extreme libertarianism continues... we're eventually going to head into some age of cross dressing transsexual, mad max, anarchist, circus like, delusional individualistic pride parade.

living in vancouver i feel like we're almost half way there.

parades of delusions, praised by the vanity of individualistic pride. insanity collaborating with insanity.

to get attention and start controversy, you just have to poke at a topic where the social justice warriors and white knights will swarm outta their hives in swarms... in desperation to adhere to and uphold western libertarian ideologies, which have been force fed to them since they were young.

everyone is fucking special, no one can be labelled anything. definitions and meanings suddenly don't have any value when examining a human subject. as if they were some kinda fucking god outside of normal perceptions and judgements. that they can define their own self, as if their thoughts were divine objective reasoning outside of other human observation and thought.

yes, like skinnypupp said, you can't avoid the consequence of saying something stupid. But furthermore, you cannot avoid the consequence of physical appearance by a magnitude of 10,000 fold. Looking a certain way, has a higher consequence than speaking any word.

she doesn't look like a man.

she's just not attractive. just because she wears a tight dress to show off that rapper booty doesn't mean she's hot.

if you're into muscular girls, go for it. i'm not, most guys aren't and that's just the way it is. just like how we're all wired to go after younger women.

who the fuck is anyone kidding? serena williams isn't on anyones top 5 list of celebs i'd like to fuck. i'm sure i'm racist but she isn't some black sexual icon. she isn't halle berry.

This stuff is getting so out of hand.

My sister sent me a screen cap from her mommy group on Facebook of a lady who was posting for support because she was sobbing at home due to the fact an employee at a community centre called her 5 month old baby chubby (ie: "Look at that chubby little baby!") and she couldn't believe he was already being body shamed at 5 months old. True story.

Even worse? At least 40 irate mothers in the group were asking for the community centre employee's name and which centre so they could petition to have the girl fired for saying that.

Crazy... people are just cray everywhere you look nowadays.

Pics of the baby.

If the baby is chubby, then there's nothing wrong with what the employee said. There's nothing wrong with having baby fat. What health choices does a baby have? If the family has a obese favoured lifestyle, then isn't the family responsible?

This guy could be replaced with Bill Gates. Maybe he doesn't give any fucks on how he looks. And he's married to fucking JK rowling.

I'm not taking sides, but bringing personal shit into this is pretty low.

Often people on either side of an arguement can cherry-pick images to suit their argument. A picture is just capturing a moment in time. It doesn't give you much more beyond that. You could do a photoshoot with the most beautiful person on the planet with the intention to show that beauty, but it can go all wrong if mess up timing, angles, distance, lighting, etc. There's a reason why people, especially those who consider themselves photographers, will take more than one photo before they get it right.

Furthermore, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What you percieve as beautiful or feminine or attractive, someone else might perceive as the opposite. Its up to you if you wish to beleive someone's words expressing perceptions different from your own as stupid or dumb, but I prefer to reserve those terms for people who hold an opinion in opposition to undeniable fact.

The issue is with the way society is going, we are having to self censor for fear someone might take something out of context or take offense. The repercussions have gone far beyond the initial actions or words. Even on RS we have to sensor ourselves to an extent because of the threat that advertisers might take away sponsorship dollars, or having the site shut down. The government may protect our free speech (for the most part), but private businesses get to censor you through capitalism. PC culture is another threat to free speech and social media has made it an even bigger threat.

It's funny that people are all, omg! So easy to make comments anonymously on the internet tough guy!

Then dummies with all their information completely visible go make comments, which probably shouldn't be an issue but people want to go into hero mode and roast someone and it turns into shit like this. As far as I'm concerned you're insane if you have any personal info or even your real name on social media. On things like Instagram you can't even make a comment which is true/critical without people personally attacking you and going through your pictures making comments etc.

The less info out there on you the better, especially if you have a unique name. And it's not even so much because you are going to do/say somthing that is wrong, more about people taking somthing the wrong way

Yeah, I stopped reading there. Not saying they're all the same, but I've lurked some of these 'mommy groups' and I swear they are just a hive of socially challenged basket cases. They think that by being online, they can save the world, one keystroke at a time.

These people also seem to have the mental mindset that they are above everyone else because they have a child. Newsflash, cunt, there are many people who have children and don't fall off the hormone highway.

Looks like we've gone from old grumpy men sitting on shopping mall couches to young angry women complaining through their computer. The irony is the self-entitlement with the latter group who is raising the NEXT GENERATION of people who will inherit the Earth.

Just send me to fucking Mercury....

One good example is, whenever Donald Trump is mentioned, instead of talking about his views on immigration or the middle east, people simply say "Oh but that comb-over!"


In our image-based society, looks are nearly everything.


One of the only reasons I have fucked hundreds of women in Vancouver is because I'm 6'3 and have a little muscle on me. If I were 5'3 and skinny, I would be absolutely invisible to the hotties of this city.

I had the experience of going from overweight at 210lbs and 6' tall to being 170lbs with muscle and meeting by chance a couple of the exact same girls who never gave me the time of day before having them approach me suddenly a year later not realizing it was me and delightfully being able to tell them to go fuck themselves.

Interesting how every single girl pulls the holier than thou "superficial" card on guys but stuff like this happens or they always say the thing they value most in a guy is his "sense of humour" whenever they get an official survey in their face. BS. At least dudes are honest.

Anyone who has ever witnessed puck bunnies at work, the shit girls comment on the pictures of not even famous guys who are good looking and followed a lot, Japanese girls break down crying seeing Prince Charming at Disneyland or watched a bunch of women come out of a showing of Magic Mike knows what's up lol.

I suppose. But there are outliers.

Like the guy with tats but hella cool, or the guy that looks like an average dude, but connected and balling.

What women find attractive, that's a different story.

Few years ago, I didn't even know that all babies were born with blue eyes. It's news to me. All babies are Michelin men, then I don't see what the problem is with the employees' comment. Moms got some crazy maternal protection mentality.

He's getting a lot of shit recently about his comments about immigrants. To the point where people aren't doing business with him.

Only squabbling bitches discuss how a person would look over what someone does. As per that puck bunnie comment that 68style posted about.

On the other hand, I agree looks do matter. No one is going to take anyone seriously dressed like a hobo.
