Zinnia you are such an inspiration.....I definitely don't agree with some of what you stand for and believe....but you have power when you speak and you deserve respect. I love you:D -Jack

I have not watched all of ZJ's vids, and nonetheless my opinion is still unchanged. I did not delete my comment, its right there below for all to see. I am not the one who needs to call names to make up for a lack of reading comprehension. The real disgrace to humanity is those (including yourself) who can't draw the line between respectful criticism and hatred. I am sorry you have such a miserable life.

"Suppose I were actually a homophobic bigot, would I even try to watch this in the first place? "

are you retarded or something? have you even WATCHED any of the ZJ reads her comments vids?

your comment was shameful enough that you removed it... so the parts that actually were homophobic and offensive can be hidden...

you are a disgrace to humanity.

[landar73]

@Arteanor Suppose I were actually a homophobic bigot, would I even try to watch this in the first place? It would be lovely to think I'm just spreading my filthy ignorance across the web right? How self-righteous you are as you throw the first punch. Let me rephrase my point, which is not a personal attack: listening to the same noise over and over again is fun right? ..ok.. It is much more pleasant to listen to one speak with a hint of fluctuating emotion or through pattern, like a human being.

[Arteanor]

@landar73

and your comment has too much bigotry to be either humanist, or trans-humanist.

so fuck you! thought you needed one, your behind on your quota... you ought to be told off for your ridiculously homophobic views more often.

get bent asshole! just for good measure

[doublehanded]

Wonderfully inciteful perspective you have ZJ. It's always a pleasure listening to you speak.

[SatchmoSings]

You've made one very fundamental point among many; there is a big difference between schooling and education.

I used to know this gal who would tell me about how her grandson hated school and wasn't doing well; her grandson wasn't hanging out on the corner doing drugs and/or making mischief; he was teaching himself the art of doing very fine woodwork.

I don't how this young man ended up but while he didn't care for school he was ultimately doing something very positive with his time.

[landar73]

I want to listen to you because I know you are "intelligent" but your voice is just too dry and monotonous for my ears. You may be a transhumanist but your mixture has too much trans and not enough humanist.
