I'd like to start by saying that this is just my personal opinion as to what a SJW is. I've come to notice that I have used SJW quite a bit on this spot and a few people don't know exactly what I mean by that. So I kind of thought it'd be useful to make this article explaining exactly what I mean when I use the term social justice warrior.
Before anything else; I intend no offense to anyone at all with this article. I don't hate social justice (not by any means), I think social justice is awesome. What I don't like is what some people turned the movement into.

First and foremost when I use SJW...

My friend, an evolutionist, and I, a Christian, always love to spend a few moments debating with each other about evolution, the "Big Bang" theory, and religion (mostly God).

November 7, 2008, he and I started at it again on Msn. He actually put my skills to the test, as neither of us have had no high school or college education on religion (so far), but I have gone to Church weekly, and will hopefully continue doing so. My friend, is frankly just extremely smart (I honestly can't elaborate on that....

Even the Joker's Had Enough Of This Bullshit
I believe in debate, discussion, and discourse. I believe in listening. I believe in multiple sides to every issue. I believe everyone is worth listening to. I believe there can be fault on "all sides," and that we can all be guilty of misunderstanding each other.

I do not extend these courtesies to racists.

Ideas are dangerous. They are wonderful and they are disastrous. They can be used and misused as weapons or agents of peace. But when you are met with a truly deadly weapon, giving it the benefit of the doubt and letting it do its thing will get you and many others killed.

When it comes to...

link, the only feedback I received revolved around definitions of racism. Sure, the concept of reverse racism was partially what the article was about, but it was also about what problems nonwhites have that whites don't face. It was also a list of grievances that need to be fixed. Those points were completely ignored.

When you say that reverse racism doesn't exist, white people completely ignore the problems you're saying nonwhites face and the changes you want to make to fight them. Instead, they do nothing constructive and just argue on behalf of whites. We - people on both sides of the debate...

Explaining What Makes America Great and Why We Must Protect It!

RUSH: Okay. Folks, let me get (for me on a Friday) a little serious here for a moment. I've had conversations in recent days, weeks, with liberals. Every time I mention this to you, I get, "Why are you hanging around them?" Well, you can't avoid 'em, and I'm not afraid of them. I like engaging them sometimes, because these people, many of them are just following a script. They've got their template, their narrative, and life is very compartmentalized and if something doesn't fit the little cocoon that they've woven for themselves...

While writing linkI became fascinated by school boards. I had been to school board meetings before the book was in my mind. They were meetings that were not too different from the one I described in fiction. They took place during the late 1970’s, at the height of a three-week teacher’s strike.

As a high school senior, I thought that the teachers were foolish for walking out on their students. I had the union president as a teacher; she used post-strike class time to pontificate the union position—and I resented it. I felt that I was being used to carry the union’s message to my parents....

I found myself typing a long reply to one of MajorDork74's comments on his link. If you're too lazy to click on the link, the image is a bumper sticker which says "If it's OK to call Bush Hitler, then I say it's OK to call Obama Muslim."

And the general response was, "Call him whatever you want, but this statement doesn't make sense... how is being a Muslim as bad an insult as being called Hitler? I'm sure you can think of worse and more accurate things to call Obama."

The Major returned with, and I quote: "Obama does a lot of things that people do not know about. How do you know he does not...

Okay, okay I admit so far communism doesn’t seem to have worked too well, what with Stalin with his work camps and his unrealistic 5 years plans or Mao with controversial philosophy and catastrophically cultural revolution. However firstly I’d like to argue that the models cited above don’t actually correspond to Marxism in its purest sense, at all. Mao’s theory, in fact has little or nothing to do with Marxism. Mao’s conviction is more about the population’s ability as a whole to achieve anything through hard work and determination has nothing to do with the conventions of communism,...

The origin of life: During reading an interesting novel about Dawkins and his theories on evolution, I discovered this particular bit. Dawkins has no solution for how life actually evolved, or arose. Dawkins says: 'It is a complete mystery' (if you wish to know more, read chapter 13 of The Greatest Show On Earth: the Evidence for Evolution)

I would like to point out that I have not really found a viable explanation for the origin of life, yet. I suppose that people assume it was the Big Bang and the consequential events following after, which caused life to erupt in the form of micro-organisms....

Idk if anyone’s noticed (lol) but I’m filthy mad about this election. Not just because of Trump himself, but because the whole thing represents, better than anything, one of the world’s most significant problem in recent years. We are moving away from our Enlightenment ideals - tolerance, progress, and liberty - with fanfare. Under the guise of saving western culture, we are threatening its core principles. We are neglecting the lessons of history that millions fought and died for: authoritarianism is a dangerous (yet insidious) thing, vilification of minority groups is wrong (demonstrated,...

John Oliver explains why the UK leaving the EU is a terrible idea, who's responsible for it, and everything it'll screw up. There's also a lovely little song at the end. Clip from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, June 19, 2016.

I see the concept for Schrodinger's Rapist getting a lot of flack. People, when confronted with this idea, say things like "This is stupid. Not everyone is a rapist!" or "This is just feminist propaganda meant to instill paranoia in women and make them afraid of men."

I personally think that everyone who wants to abide by the theory has every right to do so. Let me give you an example:

About two years ago I was seventeen and during Halloween break I was working in my Mum's office. But there was one day when my Mum couldn't drive me home and I had to get the bus. This was all fine - I was perfectly...

This is ALL made up but conversation is possable and in some cases has happened*


A woman was walking down the street when she saw a man reading the bible.


Woman:Why are you reading that?

Man:*looks up* Because I'm Christian

Woman:Why are you Christian?

Man:*shrugs* Because God is the creator of all things.

Woman:*smirks* Oh really? Are you sure about that?

Man:*nods*

Woman:*sits next to him* What about bananas? They are made by people.

Man:They are?

Woman:*nods* And our words, are the words we speak to communicate to one another made by him?

Man:No, but when I ment created all things I ment...

On July 11th, Fox News' Kelly File featured a focus group to talk about the Dallas Shootings, Protests, Black Lives Matter, Obama, Race and more. This was in direct response to increasing tensions between the police and specifically the Black US population. If you know anything about me, you probably know how important I believe it is that people keep talking in a constructive manner in order to come to real solutions. This is why I do not like hypocrisy when it comes to tolerance. I just happen to believe in beating fire with water, not with more fire as I believe it only fuels it and makes...

note: i put the word arab in quotations when i say -israeli "arab", and "palestinian"- on purpose. you'll see why when you read your way to the last myth

Also tell me if you spot spelling and/or grammar errors in this


Myth 1:“The Jews have no claim to the land they call Israel.”

fact:When the jews were kicked out the holy land by the romans, the romans weren't able to kick all of them out. also some jews did return to their home sometime after the diaspora. when the muslim empire conquered the holy land, it wasn't jew-free. many of the jewish people there mixed in the conquering arabs. then...
