what freak made this.

@NICH0LASM

HELLO! :-D

[sstan1337]

Fuck Rebbeca Watson. I hope nobody ever asks her out again because she is a cold blooded attention vampire. Why does anybody think that someone has a right to live a life without uncomfortable situations? OH NO!! I WAS ALONE IN THE ELEVATOR AND I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE! Nothing happened! The guy found her attractive and THATS ALL! What an unstory. Fuck everybody who brought this to my, and anybody else´s attention! And fuck Bill Lane Craig for dragging this up! Fucking stupid kindergarden bullshit!

[Birdieupon]

@sstan1337

"fuck Bill Lane Craig for dragging this up! "

Actually, he didn't. ****I**** did, given that I made the video.

And you sound like one stressed-angry teenager who can't pop his pimples.

Given that you've so much contempt for so many people, and believe that nobody has the right to complain about anything they don't like...

...you won't mind if I block your sorry arse.

Ta! :-D

Nice.

[sooperfukker]

@reznor12 Yes,it's enough. BTW: Do you happen to know what happening Ms. Watson will attend next? I'd love to play a prank on her.

[sooperfukker]

@reznor12 That's the point - she never felt threatened - she just claimed that - to metamorphose from being a sexist paranoid screech into a poor little oppressed and endangered victim.

And I can prove it - in her reasoning, she selected only the favorable parts of reality which would seemingly support her position - and leave out all the rest of reality which would've immediately destroyed her argumenation. What a sham.

And that's why she IS responsible for the whole shitfest.

[reznor12]

@sooperfukker RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE! Why can't a woman dislike having a man ask her up to his room, without people like to saying she feared rape. I don't like men asking me to but them drinks, or cheeses chatlines, they make me uncomfortable (i'm gay). But i dont feel a fear of rape about it. Anyhow, i make a little comment about Dawkins, and its turned into Question Time.

Again and final

Rez out

[reznor12]

@sooperfukker They acted silly, but she did not. She cant conrol other peoples reactions.

[reznor12]

@sooperfukker The only thing that is comparable is the elevator. All she did was say it made her uncofortable to be propositioned in that way, other over-zealous people reacted like tools on both sides. You seem to be attributing everybodies reactions to her.

I thought about this based on ratio only - no emotions involved, because I really couldn't find myself giving a damn about some artificial boohoo. For your assumption - yes, he has shown interest in talking to her. The best way to achieve it ? Asking her about it. That's what he did. And given the circumstances, it was ok.

And I MIGHT be mistaken - but are rapists the guys who usually ask someone out? In my mind rapists are the guys who don't ask for a woman's opinion ?
