He basically mocks whoever he wishes to mock and then acts like it's completely ok. It's completely hypocritical to mock people whenever you feel like it and then preach that "hate speech is wrong". If you want to be against hate speech, then mocking people (often for no reason at all) is going to be contrary to your message.
You're more than welcome to throw your 2 cents into that thread as well. Gives it a better punch than if I do it myself.
It's better to be upfront about it than hide it here.
Yeah, but the only reason I was not going to is because I feel like my previous spats with blake would make people like I'm biased. I may clean it up a bit (I don't want it to sound like I'm bitching) and then add what you quoted.

I think Debbie's got you beat as she's already 25.
Damn. Oh, well...lol
Hey Sam you've got four years on me. Tbh I always assumed you were around your late 20s, not mid.
Also, yeah, I saw that. Every time I see one of those threads I automatically assume him to be sitting on his high horse looking down at all the peasants. He puts off such an air of arrogance, of self-righteousness and it really just gets under my skin.
So I'm going to Dragoncon tomorrow and it's a big nerd convention. It's a few days long. Gonna have a blast
So it's like an anime con? or gaming? or comics? What kinda nerdy stuff?

I get that a lot, lol. When I was 19, I had one other younger guy who thought I was 30. I wasn't sure if that was a compliment on my maturity or an insult to my youth.
carl, why'd you delete your post in the racism thread? It was a solid post...
It's okay.
Like I said I'm 21.
People assume I'm like mid-late twenties, I know how it goes :haha:

All of the above and more. The website's down, but whenever it gets back up, you can Google it

There was nothing particularly embarrassing about it that made me delete it.
I just had an instinctual feeling that I was going to regret it later, since I pretty much avoid those debates now.
I've been more vocal about racism in real life which is way more effective anyway. Some people are impossible though. I've been more willing to stand up to people which is working out well so far, and I think there are people who I've legitimately altered the opinions of in a non-brainwashing manner.
Some of my methods are probably inappropriate though. For example I often pretend to be gay to combat homophobia. (due supports me doing this, although I hate to name drop).
