A strong kick? Girl, where? These are about as "spicy" as wearing baggy striped pyjamas to bed.

Also why does this bootleg chocolate spread smell like nachos?

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

@paulopablo, *Deidre*
To me that's typical of many forums that focus on topics that allow or facilitate a special kind of elitism. They attract a specific type of personality, users - often men - who always know better and try to demonstrate their superiority or status by adhering to some fundamentalist position that sets them apart from others, especially newcomers. Real examples I experienced, only very mildly exaggerated
- On a classical music forum, the discussion was about the Mozart piano sonatas and someone relatively new says that they like the recording by such and such. Invariably, some guys, usually men, will say, first of all, you have to play these things yourself to understand them at all, but if you absolutely insist on listening to recordings, such and such doesn't know how to play, none of the new recordings are even worth considering compared to the one Rachmaninov himself recorded on dusty wax tablets in Moscow in 1903.
- On a DSLR Forum, some noob asks for advice what telephoto zoom lens to buy for his Canon D-something. Typical responses would be like, "ok, if you actually want to take sharp pictures, you might just as well throw away your camera and save a coule thousand for a real one with full format. Then learn how to photography, and maybe in a few years, we'll talk about whether you really need a telephoto lens.
- On a hobby astronomy forum: I'm really interested in SCs, in particular the new Celestron C9.25. Does anyone have advice? Response: If you insist on mirrors, buy a Newtonian, Schmidt-Cassegrains have no contrast at all, noob! But I have a one inch APO that cost more than my house, and no mirror comes even close except my hand carved 2 meter dobson. But bright images are for noobs anyways, as an experienced astronomer, contrast is all that counts. My 1 inch APO can separate double stars at the end of the universe. What was the question?

Disgusting. Deplorable.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
