Understanding that this a vent thread, I'm going to make this post anyway:

We are all unique creatures that all have unique opinions and everyone's thoughts matters.
Quote:
I think is not true. Yes we all have opinions. Few people have unique opinions and not everybody's thoughts matter at every time. I think this might be part of why people call you controversial. You are strongly opinionated, which isn't positive or negative, but you occasionally speak your opinion when it isn't necessary or is irrelevant.
Response: What? I speak my opinion when the topic is being talked about, not when it isn't necessary or is irrelevant

This goes for American/Canadian Elitists.
Quote:
Is this actually a thing? I've only ever seen people defend Canada from Americans, never saying Canada is the best country.
Response: Google is your friend.

But don't try to stifle freedom of speech. Everyone is entitled to their opinion; regardless if you think they are right/wrong. Censorship is much a solution as closing your ears and shouting La-La-La over and over.

I agree with what serial said. I agree with this statement except I think you are missing part of it. EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion. That means, yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but if I disagree or get angry, I am entitled to tell you "stfu your opinion sucks", if that happens to be my opinion.
Response: Agreed

* I hate people that are close minded.
* I hate people who play the victim role when there are ACTUAL victims of more serious shit out there. People recently have gotten a sort of first world problem syndrome.

I have to say, this bothers me, and you are wrong. There's no arguing about it. What you said is very close minded. If somebody gets raped and has trauma from that, you can't go tell them to suck it up because at least you have food on the table. As somebody who travels, everybody, everywhere in the world, has different problems that all lead to the same mental anguish.
Response Part 1: I was referring to social justice warriors not rape victims. That's putting words in my mouth.

You don't get to live anybody else's life. That means that you don't know what they are going through. Attempting to cut their problems short will only serve to damage them more and reflect poorly on yourself. Don't confuse some people playing the victim role with anything else.
Response Part 2:
What are you saying? I can critique someone based on their actions. I don't understand what you are saying.
Quote:
Most of us have been through enough shitty things to tell you that you will be a victim of circumstances at some point in life. Whether you actually play the role of the victim or get up and do something about the situation is 2 different things.
Response Part 3:
I agree
