[QUOTE="Cliff, post: 3259512, member: 98606"] [b]Man arrested for 2x4 labeled "High Powered Rifle"[/b] These are the sorts of things that don't get said in face-to-face discussions because they're so ridiculously offensive and liable to provoke a fistfight. And no, saying "I didn't mean you specifically" doesn't make it any less offensive. You know what? You are male. PEOPLE LIKE YOU RAPE WOMEN. PEOPLE LIKE YOU KIDNAP LITTLE GIRLS AND ASSAULT THEM. That's the equivalent of what you're doing. Do you go up to Muslims and say "people like you fly planes into buildings?" I hope you don't. Do you routinely tell your martial arts instructors "people like you exploit your position of power to molest children...now I'm not saying YOU will, but PEOPLE LIKE YOU do." At that point the "people like you" is a meaningless throat-clearing kind like telling someone "in all due respect..." before slandering their mother. We all know exactly what you're saying. It's offensive. I give up. [/QUOTE]
