Dinner

I'd eat it. Cute cat too. :l

Ewwwwwwww

You don't think she's hot? I'd go down on that as long as she reciprocates. :l

Really? Here? C'mon how is it inappropriate compared to any of the other stuff you see here? :l

What makes you think that "the other stuff I see here" is the right standard for me to use for what I believe is appropriate?

But also, the difference is that most of the jokes here are generalised and abstract. Not necessarily directed towards one person.

I don't really want to ruin this person's post (it's kind of a funny meme) by going too too far with an argument about taste and social boundaries etc in the comment thread, but just think about if you were her.

What if you were the young woman picture in this photo (regardless of whether it's the meme-maker or not), and your photo was online, and people were making sexual jokes about you. How would you feel about that?

If I were her I'd be happy that people think I'm beautiful and want to hook up. It wasn't a sexual joke, it was a sexual statement. I really would try and hook up with her. She's hot. She's also putting a cat on an oven in a pot and making the joke of eating it, so I don't think she has as many moral hangups as you do.

It's okay if you're prudish, but don't push that onto people and expect it to go over well. I mean, we have agreed a on a lot of stuff so far, and you're going to let this minor thing get you in a bad mood?

I have freedom of speech. That means I'm free to say what's on my mind or to express myself. That's why you see me post comments so much.

If someone is making a meme of the dead Syrian kid on the beach, I'm going to tear into them and point out that that is someone's dead child. If someone is picking on a person like Kim Davis who has the integrity to stand for what she believes in, I'm going to speak up. If someone is saying something stupid like vote for Hilary, I'm going to say my peace. It's the internet and that's a big part of it.

If you can't handle it, don't comment or ignore me. Or downvote my comments and memes. That's what the downvote button is for.

And again, I'm the kind of person who doesn't care what people think about me. I only care what my family thinks and what God thinks. And God forgives me for any sins I may commit because I'm also the type of person to do a lot for others. I'm also the type to welcome people who are attracted to me.

I don't know why you would resort to guilt tripping someone to get them to see your side of things. That never works. It jsut pushes people away.

And one last thing: a person should never water themselves down. People should be able to take you at full strength. If not, they're not the types to be around. :l

Free speech goes both ways. "Ewwwwww" was my honest reaction.

Please don't tell me I should not comment, or ignore you. It's not your decision.

PS. Asking you to put yourself in the other person's position is not guilt-tripping. That's just basic morality ("do unto others as you would have them do unto you"). You may come to a different conclusion than I do but asking you to do that as a way of explaining my position to you (when you ask for it) isn't wrong.

I'm not in a bad mood about it by the way (didn't mean to come across like that).

You're being hypocritical about it now. You don't want me to tell you not to comment or ignore me, but you don't want to tell me to not(or that I shouldn't) comment like I did in my OP?

And guilt tripping is the same thing as saying to put yourself in someone else's shoes. The definition of guilt trip = make (someone) feel guilty, especially in order to induce them to do something. You're trying to get me to see your side which is inducing me to do something.

I'm going to keep posting my way, you'll post your way. And if we butt heads on somethings, fine. I will still be me, you will still be you. But don't confuse reality if it get's pointed out to you.

And to assume that I don't have empathy and that I don't think about how others feel is asinine. I stood up when someone used a meme of the dead Syrian baby on the beach. I'm not some lost morally corrupt person just "perving" out on girls. But I am a heterosexual male and I will say what I think here when a meme has a beautiful woman in it. That's normal. And you can always downvote my comments. That's why it's there. :l

Just for the record, the "Ewwwwww" wasn't an instruction to you not to comment. It was my reaction to the comment (that I would have had if anyone wrote it, not just you), and you asked me to explain it.

And I can't artificially produce guilt in you. If you are feeling guilty about what you did, then you have the option of adjusting either your standards or your behaviour so you won't feel guilty. If you don't feel guilty, don't worry about what I'm writing. And once again, there is nothing wrong with asking you to put yourself in someone's shoes.

Okay soc, I;m talking about this part though:
"What if you were the young woman picture in this photo (regardless of whether it's the meme-maker or not), and your photo was online, and people were making sexual jokes about you. How would you feel about that?"

And I would think you were following that.

Look, deny all you want, you were guilt tripping me by definition. I'm not saying you intentionally did it, but you did do it. By definition of the term. You're starting to nitpick the comments and not really making a point. It;s making you look really arrogant right now. And I had thought you were one of the cooler users here up till this point. :l

I feel like if you got guilty from examining the situation from that perspective, that's on you, not on me. And maybe don't shoot the messenger.

But I think this is the best I can do - if you tell me specifically why you didn't like me asking you that, then I can try not to say a similar thing if another situation comes up. Because so far I don't get why you think it was something I shouldn't have said to you. I'm not sure what you are expecting me to say.

I see nothing wrong with asking you to put yourself in another person's shoes.

See? You're still doing it. You're misinterpreting.

I didn't say I felt guilty, I said that your action is to make me feel guilty by implying that I don't have empathy(putting yourself in someone else's shoes). And then I clarified by saying that you may not be doing t intentionally, but that you're still doing it through your actions.

You implied I lacked empathy. That was how you used a guilt trip unintentionally. But I don't want you to limit your expression by not saying things. Say what you think and feel because that's what I would want to hear.

All I can say to you is that you should be ready to see me post meme/comments on anything with a beautiful woman involved because I love the female form. And I'm a young male, so I am going to say sexual things form time to time.

If you can, look at my profile here and see how far it lets you look at what I've liked and what memes I've made. You'll be able to judge whether or not you want ot associate with me after that. :l

I didn't realise that's the part you didn't like about it (that you thought I was implying you lacked empathy).

I'll try not to do that in the future.

This is a long comment thread.
