Have you seen this comic floating around lately? "The Friend-Zoner vs. Nice Guy"
http://imgur.c
Well, to be frank, it's pretty retarded, and honestly fills out the stereotypical Tumblr attitude. Thankfully, a kind and understanding soul over at Reddit offered a rebuttal.
"The Friendzoner vs The Nice Guy is a cheesy web-comic strip that has been circulating around the internet for at least a year if not longer. Sketched by a feminist blogger on Tumblr, it portrays a nice guy being friend-zoned by a girl he had strong feelings for and a close friendship with. He flips out, presumably because he has faced this situation many times before, like a lot of guys have, and the whole thing blows out of proportion as they don comic book superhero spandex and duke it out with physical violence and insults being thrown at each other. In the end she wins and literally cuts him off as a friend because she feels like she doesn't deserve him.
Due to the way the comic has been written out (with the Friendzoner winning the bout, the Really Nice Guy having nothing to combat her words with, and the Friendzoner having the last say); it implies that any man who reacts badly to rejection is an asshole, not really a friend and is a bit rape-y in their intentions. However, this entirely misses the male argument of the whole friendzone debate.
1) Society's view of relationships and how they form may not tell the full picture:
Why did the nice guy pursue this woman? Why did he see his closeness to her - the fact she'd often come to him to talk about her problems whether it was her breakup, complaining about boyfriends or maybe (the last point is a mostly-baseles
Various forms of media have taught us that romantic feelings and relationships start from moments of emotional intimacy whether that is helping somebody in distress, becoming emotionally close in friendship, or both.
I'll give many examples of anime, film and television series that have featured this in some way, shape or form. Beauty And The Beast, Aladdin, Pokémon, Suzuka, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, One Tree Hill, The O.C., There's Something About Mary, Love Actually, Hitch, The Waterboy, Sonic The Hedgehog, Back To The Future, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles, Fairy Tail, Dragon Ball, Shaman King, Chobits, Love Hina, Tenchi Muyo, Harry Potter, Shrek, and many others.
It is even the central theme of a book called South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami in which the protagonist has a close female friend in the form of Shinamoto and bonds with her because he was asked to help her at school over her leg condition. Despite being really close friends, they drift apart when attending separate high schools and he only meets her again once successfully running a chain of bars in Tokyo and happily married; forcing him to make the tough choice of whether to cheat on his wife or not.
Then there's many examples in video-games...
Saria from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a huge example. She is the only one to really befriend Link after he was left to the Kokiri as an orphan. As such, she develops a crush, much to the jealousy of Milo, the Kokiri village chief. This is not only implied through her friendly interactions and genuine joy to see him, but by her conversation with him when he leaves Kokiri Forest. It is later confirmed by Milo after Link rescues her from the Forest Temple.
As for other games with romantic elements that revolve around this? Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, Phantasy Star Universe, Second Sight, Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy IX, the Mario series, Castle of Illusion, Persona 4, The Sims, Tales of Symphonia and dare I say it... virtually any romantic visual novel or dating sim. You get the idea.
I'm not calling any of this misleading. But considering how romance is very-well present in the entertainment industry, can you blame men for wanting this to be a greater reality than it actually is?
2) The Friendzoner is a bona fide bitch:
As ridiculous as this seems to argue because of course there's going to be fighting; they are portrayed as superheroes, let's list some facts about what the Friendzoner did:
She provoked him by taunting him about being friend-zoned because he dared express his dismay at being rejected, presumably for the umpteenth time. Whether she did this sarcastically, as a form of exaggeration or because she's sick of hearing the friend-zone argument thrown around once again herself; it doesn't matter. She shouldn't have escalated the issue and provoked an even angrier response from him.
She assaults him. It is unclear who lands the first hit here. While it looks like she was assaulted first from what looks like her parrying a hit with her arm and circular lines of motion around his arm, the nice guy's posture in this panel doesn't seem to indicate that he actually made a swing for her and if he did, it was in the worst way possible. Rather, he is stood, tensed up, yelling his point to her. But then again, maybe it is useless to argue this because this is merely used as a metaphor to illustrate their shouting-match
She refers to herself as a bitch. While this was most likely sarcastic and to parody how women like her are portrayed, it still raises a valid point due to how she is actually acting.
She accuses him of being an asshole and verbally mauls him apart out of disgust that he was even interested in her in the first place.
She kicked him in the head while he was down. Again, this could just be a metaphor but if literal, that is a highly dangerous situation that could have caused at least ABH (he also caused it too if you look at the bruise he made by punching her in the face but only in retaliation to being kicked in the face.) Somebody I knew from school died after attempting to break up a drunken argument, being punched to the ground then repeatedly kicked in the head like a football. The guy who did it is in jail for murder.
She spins every argument against him. More on that further below in Point #3.
She ends her friendship with him. More on that further below in Points #3 and #4
3) Etiquette is improperly viewed as a manipulative sexual strategy:
"What about that time you got wasted at a party!? Any other guy would have taken advantage. But I drove you home safely instead!"
"You don't get fucking brownie points for not raping me!"
So it is wrong to be a nice guy all of a sudden? This is certainly what The Friendzoner is implying.
When we are taught from the point of childhood to be nice, morally respectable and law abiding citizens else face punishment whether by our parents, our teachers, our supervisors, the police, etc. When we get rewarded for doing nice things in many different ways, is it not surprising that men have made this assumption that being nice and befriending a girl is the best way to eventually form a romantic relationship?
When you are a child, you better obey your parents and stay out of trouble or else you'll probably get grounded or worse. Likewise, if you do really well at school, you'll likely get rewarded through them buying you something nice or through them taking you somewhere nice.
The same goes in schools. Good behavior is rewarded because they act as an incentive while bad behavior is punished because punishments act as a deterrent.
It similarly goes for law enforcement. Criminals are punished and sentences are often seen as a punishment. While some systems focus more on rehabilitation
How does this link back to relationships? Simple, romantic relationships are often seen as much stronger, more significant friendships where a degree of physical and emotional intimacy are involved. Being an asshole and doing things like cheating generally lead to getting dumped.
And what about being rewarded? Look at Valentine's Day, one of the tackiest, most over-commercia
Technically, aren't men manipulative assholes for buying women romantic presents in the same way that some men try to woo women by treating them like close friends and putting them on pedestals? Oh wait, they get a free pass because people who buy valentines day presents tend to be attractive, already in relationships and are buying material presents instead of just being nice.
And single people without a partner on valentines day? Like marketing departments seem to imply by pretending they don't exist, they can fuck off!
4) The Friendzoner heavily downplays the significance of her friendship with the Nice Guy:
When you broke up with that douche! I was always there when you wanted to talk!
I thought that was because we were - I don't know, actually friends!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let's cut the crap for a second. If you confide your desires for a nice guy and your complaints over your boyfriend being a complete dickbag to a guy-friend of yours; is it not surprising when he'll interpret that as interest in himself, especially considering how much she likely emphasized it? In fact, I'm pretty sure lines like "I wish there were more men like you" or "I wish I could find a guy like you" came up. I mean, those are some pretty big compliments and you don't just say that stuff for no reason.
Sharing stuff like that isn't what you do with 'just a friend.' That's at least close-friend level, if not future-boyfrie
This stuff certainly came up about 80%+ of the time I was friend-zoned by a close female friend who I later developed feelings for. In fact, especially when they made compliments about me and my personality, I felt like I was being led on and for good reason. But of course if I express that, I'll be called the asshole.
Sorry that my friendship is a crappy consolation prize!
That is not the point. The man is clearly feeling discontented because he had his heart broken yet again. The hypocrisy that people would shower a girl with their sympathies (whether in film, television or in real life) should they be rejected by a guy while if a guy did it, they'd be seen as losers, manipulative assholes or even sexual pests in some extreme examples, is mindboggling.
Do you even know what friend-zoning is, douchelord?
What you just did to me.
Sure, but what assholes like you actually mean when you say you've been friendzoned is "This bitch won't let me put my dick in her even though I treated her like a human being."
Friend-zoning is when somebody shoots down your romantic advances and declares you only a friend, likely out of a lack of sexual attraction. It's not gender-exclusi
And she downplays his generosity and friendly nature as 'treating her like a human being'? Technically any action from good to bad to downright despicable counts as treating her like a human being. So no, being treated like a human being is a bad term.
5) The desire for nice men is actually an oxymoron:
Well, I don't fucking care. When you girls are bitching and moaning about how you just wanna find a nice guy, I won't feel sorry for you. They're all in the friend zone where you left them!
This is a very valid point. Why should we continue to be close to women when that is clearly misinterpreted as nothing but friendship and not what women look for in a guy?
Why is this guy speaking so much truth?
That is because the desire for nice men is an oxymoron, a statement that contradicts what women appear to really be attracted to. Confidence, status, physical attractiveness and material possessions. This has been developed through millions and millions of years of evolution. Attractiveness helps determine a mate which can produce healthier offspring, confidence makes up part of what a male should be and is often a trait picked up by women that makes them initially attracted to jerks (as many of them display confidence), material wealth is dictated both by Western consumerist society and evolution and status is very important too as humans are social animals."
About gender
Male and female isn't defined by genitals, it's defined by gametes. Males produce sperm, females produce eggs.
Suck on that Social Justice tumblrfags.
"The prison industrial complex is a system situated at the intersection of government and private interests. It uses prisons as a solution to social, political, and economic problems. It includes human rights violations, the death penalty, slave labor, policing, courts, the media, political prisoners, and the elimination of dissent."
And now Brian and teen Stewie.
"Male disposability.
Throughout all of history women have been protected and cherished, cared for, prized and glorified. Men have been killed, tortured, sent to war, etc.
It has long been considered wrong to fight a woman, wrong to make them go to war.
Their value was based on their ability to reproduce. If 100,000 men died, it wouldn't matter if there were women and just a few dozen men were still around to create the next generation.
This practise still exists today. Men are homeless, fuck them. Women are homeless, God help us we must save them! Men and women on a sinking ship; women and children saved first. Men must not hit women (because they're weaker?) but strong men hitting weaker men is ok (logic?).
Women are given a place in society automatically because they are valued intrinsically, whereas men have to earn their place with their deeds, skills, etc. Men do not oppress women, they have a natural instinct to protect and benefit them.
Women are given much lesser punishments than men for the same crimes across a range of offences. Especially violent and sex related crimes.
Men and women ARE fundamentally different and the cross over between skills and abilities is actually fairly small. Men are significantly stronger than women, their intelligence is significantly more reliable than women's (because hormones mostly). They typically have much better analytical skills.
Women have a much greater ability to raise children, have typically better fine detail hand-eye co-ordination and a bunch of other stuff.
Expecting women and men to be treated even equally is ridiculous. Neither should be mistreated because of their gender but there are some things, like men need more food, that are simple facts. If food is short and is rationed equally, men suffer more than women. There are plenty of other examples.
Feminism has a solid premise that no woman should be mistreated because she's a woman, but you can't logically argue for that without arguing the same for men."
Somebody posted this blindingly stupid propaganda:
Day 1: mommy, I am only 5 inches long but already have my organs. Your heart beating is my favorite lullaby.
Day 2: mommy I'm a girl! I hope that makes you happy mommy. I like it when you're happy. When you're sad, I'm sad too. Stop crying mommy!
Day 3: mommy, I got my hair today. It's very short and fine, but there will be a lot of it. I learned to kick, too.
Day 4: mommy, I have hand now, and I can't wait to see yours and hold you too
Day 5: mommy, you went to the doctors today. What's abortion?
Day 6: mommy, why are we with the doctor again? I don't like him he seems cold and heartless. MOMMY, SOMETHING IS INTRUDING MY HOME! IT BURNS MOMMY! NOOOOO...
Day 7: Mommy, I'm alright, I'm in Jesus' arms. He is holding me. He told me what abortion is. Why didn't you want me mommy?
REPOST IF YOU HATE ABORTION
This is the response that was made:
Day 1
Overmind, I am only 8 feet long, but I have all my organs. I love the sound of your drones. Every time I hear them, I wave my claws and legs. The sound of the hatchery's heart beat is my favorite lullaby.
Day 2
Overmind, today I learned how to slash my claws. If you could see me, you could definitely tell that I am a Zerg. I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here.
Day 3
You know what Overmind, I'm a Zergling!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don't like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too, and I cry with you even though you can't hear me.
Day 4
Overmind, my scales are starting to grow. they are short and fine, but I will have a lot of them. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my blades, and stretch my claws and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too.
Day 5
You intercepted a transmission from Tarsonis today. Overmind, they lied to you. They said that I'm not a Zergling. I am a Zergling, Overmind, your Zergling. I think and feel. Overmind, what's extermination?
Day 6
I can hear that marine again. I don't like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The marine called it a gauss rifle. Overmind what is it? It burns! Please make him stop! I can't get away from it! Overmind!! HELP me!! No . . .
Day 7
Overmind, I am okay. I still managed to hatch and my brothers and sisters rushed their base. Ke ke ke ke!
So, just an explanation why the first part of the post is tripe;
Day 1 - 7, congratulation
Ugh, so much nonsensical claptrap. Also, unborn and unbaptized babies don't get to see Jesus, they get to spend all their time in Limbo.l

God is said to be omniscient and unchanging. But what are the implications of these characteristic
1) Stupid people cannot learn
God cannot learn because he knows everything.
2) Stupid people won't change their minds
God cannot change his mind because he has a perfect plan. If he changes his mind, his plan would become imperfect.
3) Stupid people cannot make decisions
God can only do what is in his plan and nothing else. All God's decisions are predetermined by his plan.
4) Stupid people can't make plans
God cannot have made his plan because if he had made it, there would have been a time when he didn't know everything so he would not have been omniscient. But God cannot change so he must always have been omniscient. Therefore, the plan must be older than God. Therefore God cannot have created his own plan.
So we have a God that functions like a computer program, doing exactly what he has been told to do—no more and no less with no intelligence required. Is there any point in praying to such a God for help? What do you think?
Of course God is not really stupid because God does not exist. But the men who invented him, now they really were stupid.
I wonder how many millions of people would have lived longer, happier lives if it were not for the invention of the Abrahamic God?

A world that turns when you're in control
Means we're bound to stand on ground that's unshakeable
"Don't say another goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as bubbling tears of pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth."
"I would rather listen to Gilbert Gottfried reading Nicki Minaj lyrics to a howling feral cat in an out of tue windchime factory."
I went to Walmart and the gas station today and while I was walking through the stores, I noticed that a LOT of people were giving me the dirtiest of looks. I couldn't figure out why, so I simply smiled at them and said 'Good morning'.
Almost every time, these people seemed shocked that I could talk, much less be polite. It wasn't until I'd gotten home that I realized that I was wearing my shirt that reads, in extravagantly large letters 'THANK GOD I'M AN ATHEIST" all down the front.
The funny thing is, no matter how much those people hated me for my shirt, my purchase of this article of clothing did more good for mankind than all the prayer in the world because the proceeds were donated to helping feed the homeless.
Slowly it waded through the decay, what was left of the once flourishing wood. Trees stood stooped, curling their gnarled, broken arms around their naked bodies in shame, leaves lay molded together on the floor, the water stood still-careful as to not disturb the iron curtain that shadowed the wood. A sharp snap of underbrush broke the silence that it savored more than flesh.
"You'll lose your way, soldier, just as many have. You'll lose your way and I will find you. I will peel your flesh away from its harbor. I'll take your eyes and replenish my lost sight. You will cry out for aid, scratch at my body like a screaming child begging for mother's milk, and drown in your own vitals. I'll leave your tattered body at the edge of this cursed forest of dead things for all to see. Warn them so I may die, as I've prayed for so many years."

Common aluminium myths and questions:
MYTH 1: "The risk to infants posed by the total aluminum exposure received from the entire recommended series of childhood vaccines over the first year of life is extremely worrisome”
Actually no, the risk is extremely low:
http://www.fda
MYTH 2: "There haven't been any studies done to evaluate whether the amount of aluminium that an infant typically receives when completing the full AAP recommended vaccine regimen is actually safe."
There have been, for example: http://www.ncb
Also, the FDA conducted an updated analysis of many studies regarding the safety of aluminum adjuvants and found that the maximum amount of aluminum an infant could be exposed to over the first year of life via vaccines would be 4.225 milligrams (mg). They found that the body burden of aluminum from vaccines AND diet throughout an infant’s first year of life is significantly less than the corresponding safe body burden of aluminum, based on the minimal risk levels established by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. http://www.ats
http://www.fda
MYTH 3: "I just don’t like the sound of aluminium. Hasn’t it been linked to Alzheimers, breast cancer and brain damage? I can control the amount of aluminium I consume, so I want to limit the amount my baby receives from vaccines.”
You can control the amount of aluminium you consume or use in skin products to some extent, but it is everywhere in the environment - the air, soil and water - and is largely unavoidable. http://www.ats
So, avoiding vaccines is really going to do diddly squat towards avoiding aluminium exposure.
Aluminium does not cause Alzheimers or breast cancer.
http://theconv
To cause neurological damage, you would have to be exposed to enormous quantities. Vaccines just don’t qualify. The potentially toxic effects of very large quantities of aluminum are encephalopathy
Aluminium toxicity is usually only found in patients with renal impairment. Acute aluminium toxicity is extremely rare, but it is possible in people with impaired kidney function. Damaged kidneys and PN – or parenteral (intravenous) nutrition products - are the risk factors for developing acute aluminium toxicity. Despite having those risk factors, most patients with acute kidney injury who require PN do not receive excessive exposure to aluminum from the PN formulation. http://www.ncb
So, is acute aluminium toxicity likely in a normal, healthy baby receiving vaccinations? Really, it’s not even possible. What about in a premature baby with kidney dysfunction on parenteral nutrition receiving vaccinations? It's not very likely, but if you are concerned, you should discuss it with your pediatrician. http://emedici
MYTH 4: “Dr Sears says that the amount of aluminium in vaccines is more than injectable aluminium guidelines. He says that the FDA advises premature babies and any patient with impaired kidney function shouldn’t get more than 10 to 25 micrograms of injected aluminum at any one time, yet the total dose of aluminum can vary from 250 micrograms at birth (Hep B) to 295 - 1225 micrograms at 2, 4 and 6 months. He is a medical doctor, and he is worried that these aluminium levels far exceed what may be safe for young babies.”
There is a glaring error with Dr Sears aluminium information that would likely go over most people's heads. Vaccines are what's called a biological product. They have a different guideline to aluminium levels in food and a different guideline to aluminium levels in continuous nutritional intravenous products (parenteral nutrition).
Dietary aluminum is in such small quantities that it is not a significant source of concern in persons with normal elimination capacity. Premature babies do not have a normal elimination capacity, so the IV nutritional guideline needs to factor this in.
Dr Sears compares aluminium in intravenous nutrition products for preemie babies to aluminium in intramuscular vaccines. He is comparing the level of aluminium in vaccines to the wrong guideline.
Anti-vax sites are notorious for making this same error eg. they will compare environmental mercury from drinking water (a guideline determined by the EPA) to thimerosal in vaccines (a guideline determined by the FDA - for biological intramuscular injectables)
Here is the correct value:
Chapter 21 of the US Code of Federal Regulations [610.15(a)] limits the amount of aluminum in the recommended individual dose of biological products, including vaccines, to not more than 0.85-1.25 mg per dose.

MYTH 5: “But injected aluminium is different to ingesting it”.
Not really. With aluminium, absorption is extremely low from either route.
Ingestion via the gut IS different to
Injection IM - into muscle (vaccines) is different to
Injected IV - intravenously (directly into the bloodstream)
But you also have to consider how often you consume or inject these substances.
Water and food, which we ingest several times a day every day of our lives will *always* have a lower safety limit simply because we use them so often. It's really the aluminium from food and water that we need to watch. Even though very little retained, it can accumulate because we consume them daily, several times a day, over time. Vaccines are spaced out over months, so the aluminium contained within them do not have much of a chance to accumulate - the amounts are so small to begin with and the majority is excreted.
With the food and drinks you ingest, your gut mucosa filters out a lot of harmful substances and prevents them going into the bloodstream. So most aluminium that you eat, you would excrete before it even enters the bloodstream. That which does enter the bloodstream can also be excreted via the kidneys--> urine and bile. Less than 1% of the aluminium that you eat is absorbed by the body.

Even less is retained (in the tissues and skeleton)
Much of the injected aluminium from vaccines enters the bloodstream, but only a very, very small percentage of that will be "dissolved" in the blood - it's in the form of precipitate and is bound to carrier proteins (transferrin). Approximately 98 % of aluminium in the blood is excreted in the urine, and to a lesser extent bile. The unabsorbed aluminum is excreted in the feces. A diminishingly small amount may be retained.
We're talking about a minute fraction of two hundredths of bugger all.
Aluminium given intravenously (via continuous nutritional products for premmie babies - which is the guideline Dr Sears uses - ) has a much higher retention and accumulation value. Of course it does, because it goes straight into the bloodstream and the IV line is continuously there, feeding them all day long. And these tiny preemie babies have underdeveloped kidneys.
When determine the safety of aluminium in vaccines, ingestion of aluminium from food PLUS injection from vaccines is all factored into the formulation and regulation of vaccines when determining safe body burdens.
The amounts in vaccines fall within recommended guidelines when you compare it to the *correct* value.
