Shrug. The same way any deviancy becomes legitimate to the viewer: that seed of doubt gets incepted into someone's mind, and pretty soon it becomes a growth of thought that becomes a stabilizing force for them. Hell, some people spank it to ponies out of spite at a world that doesn't accept them... true irony.

Shark chicks and ponies, wtf internet
It's too bad we don't have a secret subforum where we can coordinate troll attempts where only we can see so that we don't have to catch on because only one of us is an actual rocket scientist.
I am particularly interested in committing internet genocide

the data i wound up linking toI think we had this discussion and the conclusion was that unless you live in Africa and then everyone should be circumcised at young age you shouldn't do that to your infants, let them choose when they turn up 18.like if you have a foreskin i don't judge you for having it and cool on you if sex is better for you because of it (sex is pretty awesome without it so i have no frame of reference) but for people asking people to be more open minded about foreskin they sure don't leave a lot of room for people to be open minded about not having it.
was all from rawandan trials and my point insertion into the discussion was that there are populations where it's a potential life saver, so yeah.

*ahem*
Ladies and gentlemen,
I come before you today to ask something of you. You may consider it a minor thing, nothing more than a few minutes of your time, but to me, it is a great thing. I consider your time important, and I consider you important; it is with the utmost humility that I come before you today.
I want you to understand, this is just me talking here. I am no longer a man who enjoys making lofty speeches; they aren't as effective as some believe. Nor do I presume to think I know better than you; if life has taught me one thing it's that about the only thing I'm good at is making bad decisions. Besides, it doesn't matter if I make the greatest stump speech in the world, I'm not here to throw the system into chaos or make great socio-political changes or even for the lulz. I'm just one man trying to get his friend back.
Ben Gomes and I used to be good friends,
great friends... or at least I thought so, I do not know his true feelings on what we had. We would talk on any subject, from sailing ships and ceiling wax, to the darkest dramas. I still remember fondly how happy he was with his new apartment; even after all that has come after it makes me smile. Despite what others may have said of him and his speech, he was not an unapproachable person. Back then, his position was a stopping block but I had faith we could overcome it... as I said, I am pretty good at making bad decisions.
With time, you see, I started to notice a trend: questions I had weren't being answered as well as before, and some of his actions started to come staggeringly at odds with what we would talk about; he would give one answer then act on another. He used excuses, rather than answers, and I felt looked-down upon for not having a title; which was bizarre, because if it hadn't been for me handing in my title, I would have been of no use to him. A seed of an idea had been
planted in his head, that he was better than me for his position, and that caused me no end of grief... I'd seen that kind of addiction take hold before. I tried to warn him, oh God did I, I used anything from his Zodiacal sign to the good ol' drunkchat, but I just got accused of attacking him. He kept asking for time, time, time, always more and more time, and when I gave it to him our conversations petered out, stopped completely. My words that he used to claim to cherish became nothing but grease to feed his... well, I guess I have to call it his obsession. In the end, when I finally gave up, all I heard from him were the same old requests for time and more time, admonitions that he hadn't changed. Addict logic. Coming from a background of helping to treat addicts, it broke my heart.
Now, I know there are other reasons for wanting to pull him down: if you are looking to sow discord for the lulz, by all means sign the petition. If you are looking for internet justice to those who Ben
has wronged, sign the petition. Hell, If you want to help MTGSalvation, you should also sign the petition... the userbase desperately needs a strong voice right now, someone down there in the trenches to fight the staggering level of asshats on their own level, and Ben could easily be one of those voices.
But if you want to help me out, because you like me and want to see blatheration from a place of joy I miss like the dickens; or because you hate me and you want me to blather at Ben instead of you every once in a while; or just because you're awesome like that, I'd really appreciate it if you'd sign the petition. I desperately want to forgive the guy but can't while he holds that addiction. And even if we can't get over his past sins, that gives him a shot at meeting new people, better people than me.
Give Ben the time he deserves so much. Give him a chance to enjoy his apartment and use some of the cheesy-as-hell one-liners I fed him on girls. Give him a chance at freedom,
give him his life back.
Sign the petition.

All these images make it incredibly hard to keep tabs with this site in crowded areas.
You ever click a thread and a fat naked guy is front and center with 7 people withing 5 feet of you? I have.
Eric, Ren and Jensen were activists
Heads loaded with theory, their hearts are filled with passion
Shared the same left wing politics
Liked the same music, they were part of the protest movement
Now, Anna presented herself as a feminist
Studied the way they talked and dressed
Fashioned herself an anarchist
Eric fell in love with Anna at the meeting of the crime think conference
He didn't know it but Anna was an FBI informant
