You should both see Xanadu.

It's enough to scare you both straight.  I'm completely serious about that.

So it's like Tough Love?

Did you know that I own that movie?  It happens to be one of my favorites.

I agree wholeheartedly, and would like to add that it is even more annoying, nay, downright frustrating when even despite evidence contrary to the narrow-minded viewpoint, the holder of such a viewpoint still wishes to judge those whose views run counter without merit, and not only show themselves in a negative light, but also misrepresent the views they hold and indirectly indict all holders of such views.  This is most common in debates concerning religion (or the absence of, as there are quite a few unreasonable atheists as well), and it really is a shame that narrow-minded "my-way-or-the-highway" types exist that steal the spotlight from reasonable debaters.

What is especially frustrating, however, is when these types of people hold power enough to impose their narrow beliefs upon those who hold principles against such beliefs.

My gears have been sufficiently ground, and a recent argument that I had brought this frustration to the fore.  I know many reasonable Christians, but this guy made me doubt their existence temporarily.


I get to witness this every week from the same person.  This person seemed to have been shown the error of her ways, but alas, she insists that (while we accept her point of view and passion for the topic) we are wrong.  That we know nothing because we disagree.  For her it all goes back to agism, and it doesnt matter if agism is relevent to the topic at hand or not.

Sluts are all the people who won't have sex with you, aren't they? Everyone is a slut!
