Over on mock_the_stupid,
pride_of_erin makes a post about her sister accidentally running off the road while leaning to drive. In the comments, people start discussing automatic vesus manual transmission, and
insanefreeek (with his scary icon) makes this post: http://community.livejournal.com/mock_the_stupid/2234525.html?thread=56240029#t56240029
insanefreeek: I think we've basically all switched to auto in the U.S. because of the people we post about in this community. Most Americans are damned retarded and can't pay attention to anything but talking on their cell phones.
As for the military switching, I think that's smart since it is harder to concentrate on gears and shifting while you are in battle and having bullets buzz around you.
A man that doesnt know how to drive stick, pump gas or change a tire isnt a man at all. Or a person. How does a person NOT know how to pump gas?
To which
vegged responds: Whats with the crazy double standards and sexism? Why is it ok for a female to be completely helpless, but not a male? I really have no respect for women or others who think women need to be taken care of. My vagina doesn't give me a free ticket to weakness and stupidity
And they're off. Highlights include:
insanefreeek: I'm sorry I live in a region where knowing how to shift, gas up and change a tire is a needed thing to be considered a man.
vegged: Wow, its so easy to be a man! I suppose if I crossed the border into your region then I'd grow a penis. Nice to know.
Dictionary definitions are invoked. Fun is had by all.
