Are you really this loving stupid? This poor girl is trapped in a home where her parents are openly bigoted against her and you think her being upset about this makes the girl in the wrong? FireWorksWell posted:I agree about the latter but she needs to learn better coping skills quickly, because she's gonna became a hardcore heterophobe (is that even a term yet?) Of course it's not a term yet you loving bigot. At least this answered my earlier question. If you really can't see that this girl is making a point to her homophobic parents when she points out straight people being affectionate with each other, then there's no help for you. How are all the other students at Covington Catholic school?

kru posted:During Christmas absolutely yes I would be surprised - here in Scotland there is zero religious element to it. I don't pray, and it is awkward for me to do so. As I stated in previous post, that's why I would feel pressured, which I'm sure you agree is absolutely normal. Alright, and as a British person myself, how about if we say 'Christmas Eve midnight mass' or something? It's a religious ceremony. Religion gonna happen during it. As other people said, if you are uncomfortable with this, feel free not to go.

Dr. S.O. Feelgood posted:It's a religious holiday. You should not be surprised if something religious happens during it. Would you also feel pressured and awkward about taking part in a prayer before a Christmas celebration? That's a rhetorical question, I'm sure there's a ton of reddit posts about exactly that. Maybe don't invite atheists to your religious events and expect them to participate in the overtly religious parts.

Assuming that breeder post is accurate, gently caress her family. As someone who had a hysterectomy, and shouldn't have had kids anyway due to health problems who always wanted kids, that post hits close to home.

A lot of religious people don't seem to understand atheists and assume it's indifference towards religion, when it's usually a measure of discomfort towards it. (especially organised religion) Or they do, and it's intended to be passive-aggressive. (very common with certain kinds of religious people, ask how many open atheists get asked to say Grace. I'm one of em)

If it's "just words" and they don't matter then it's be cool if he said the 14 words when it's his turn next year, right?? He could choose not to go, but do you think that would make his GF happier or less happy? She's the one asking for advice, not him. So the question is: does she really want to insist on this to the point of excluding him entirely? I don't think you can say he is wrong for accepting an invitation with a condition that he not be asked to participate in this one part of the event, and if that condition is not acceptable, then she shouldn't invite him. If she invites him again and then insists on something he has made clear he is uncomfortable with, then she is definitely the rear end in a top hat. I've refused to do poo poo I didn't feel comfortable with at family gatherings and people gave me a little crap for it, but whatever - getting crap for it was less uncomfortable than doing it would have been.

FAUXTON posted:"AITA for comparing a Passover prayer to the 14 words" Okay, maybe the real issue is that words don't have meaning for you because you lack any reading comprehension. The point is that anybody saying "it's just words, right? It's not like they mean anything to him" is making an argument in bad faith to serve their own ends. They don't actually believe that words have no meaning. How do I know this? Because they get really angry over certain words! As they loving should! Because words do have meaning and the 14 words should make you mad. If they don't make you mad, there is something wrong with you.

If you believe - as I do - that words have meaning, then obviously the 14 words are very different and incomparable to a prayer. That is literally my point. That is exactly what I was illustrating. You keep repeating my point back to me as though I don't understand it. Edit: maybe this is more clear: Me: words mean things. For instance, we all agree that those nazi words are terrible. You: hey, those nazi words are terrible! Way worse than other words! Me: yeah. Duh. That's what I'm saying. We agree. Jimbozig fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Jan 23, 2019 |

r/legaladvice Small Claims Procedure Hi guys, tonight I got punched in the face! u/MrMcCJr quote:Today I (M21) went to a bar with 2 of my friends. The only thing that I remember about the incident was that I was told by a friend to "look out for that aggressive guy" and then I was immediately punched in the face. I filled 8 napkins with blood, and my friends sweatshirt too! My campus security spoke with me for a bit, before I spent time with the police and then the ambulance. My friends know who the girlfriend is of the man who hit me, but I want to know how I can best get justice for what happened. Who should I talk to tomorrow morning? Hey! Forgot to include that this happened in NY. And I dont know which flair to use :/

As someone who had a hysterectomy, and shouldn't have had kids anyway due to health problems who always wanted kids, that post hits close to home. Same. Not having/wanting kids is a perfectly valid choice to make. gently caress people that treat you like a child ("You don't know what you want") or degrade your accomplishments ("That's nice but the real best thing you can do is have kids, nothing else is valuable") because they live their lives differently. Nothing like surviving cancer only to be told "Its too bad you'll never be a real woman now since you can't have kids." Saying "I do not want kids" is not a personal attack and its not an invitation to change someone's mind about their desires in life. gently caress her family.

I think the Passover story really hinges on id he was familiar with the tradition and told beforehand that part of it is that everyone must read. Some posters seem to insist that he must have known, but I have never been to a Passover dinner and would have no idea. If nobody warned him about that and he didn't know, then he hasn't really done anything wrong. If she told him beforehand and made it clear that all guests must participate, then he was being unreasonable. Anyone from the broader American/European culture with no knowledge of Jewish traditions is likely to think that it is about as religious as Christmas or Easter is for Americas/Europeans, which is to say not very religious. My wife's family is Christian, and if they asked me to say grace I would ask that someone else do it because it's not my thing. If they then insisted I must pray, I'm not sure how I would react.

The first time I was like 'Wait, what? ME?' figuring I was gonna eff it up or something, but I felt like they were trying to include me. I did have a meltdown about it the first year, but only because I brought a pie for dessert and only later found out it goes against Passover rules.

But that’s the thing- most (I say most because I know some families who are super assholish about it) people wouldn’t force you to say grace. I’ve been to many Xmas and thanksgiving dinners where people pray and bowing my head for a minute doesn’t seem that egregious. It’s just common courtesy for the host. Likewise, people don’t say “but we didn’t pray!” when they come to my house. He knew the deal at Passover dinner. Is the family pushy and dickish? Yeah, a bit for having non Jewish people participate, but only the saltiest of atheists wouldn’t just read some words to be nice to the host if they knew in advance that was the deal. Getting surprised by it would flip the tables and make the family super assholes, but this guy knew the drill and still went.

If you're comparing saying "thank you God for bringing us out of Egypt" to the fourteen words there is no hope for you. That said, at most seders there's many things said that aren't prayers. The most important part of a seder is telling the story of the Exodus, which mentions God but isn't a prayer. If this guy were mature and willing to have a conversation instead of pouting I'm sure they could work something out. If even that is too much to handle then we've got bigger problems here.

No Pants posted:Maybe don't invite atheists to your religious events and expect them to participate in the overtly religious parts. I'm a big goony atheist who thinks all religion is dumb/evil/a scam, etc. I still participate in minor religious ceremonies and events for friends and family because I still possess some shred of tact and politeness. I even go to church with them sometimes for major holidays. I do it not because I want to be there, but because it is important to other people in my life and I care about them. Yeah, doing that stuff isn't really my thing either and I think it's a bit weird, but when I am a guest in someone else's house I will go along with their traditions instead of choosing to make myself the center of attention as the boyfriend did. Like I get not wanting to be forced to participate in events in general, but for this specific situation I think the boyfriend is extremely lame and needs to get over himself. That's how I acted when I was 13. edit: There were other atheists/non-religious people (including the OP) and non-Jewish people present who were fine with taking part, so clearly the issue there wasn't with "atheists", it was just this dude. wizardofloneliness fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Jan 23, 2019 |

We have amazing conversations, sex, and similar life goals. The thing is... I really want to have sex with a MILF. The idea of engaging in something so taboo and raunchy haunts me multiple times a day. The worst part is it won't be the same once I'm in my twenties to have sex with a 35 year old as it would be now. I want to feel like I'm finally man enough to have sex with one of my mom's friends. poor stacey
