Double Standards

"Don't tell my parent's that I smoke pot, but I'm gonna let them think it's you every time they smell it".

I gave that bitch an ultimatum. I said bitch you tell your parent's or I will. I ain't gonna be blamed for you smokin' the weed when we all smoke weed here (except the parents or course).

(I come over to that house often because there is a woman I'm seeing there, the "bitch" I'm referring to is the sister, and they all live under the parent's roof, even though the 'kids' are all in their thirties.)

Or here is another double standard. This one is my personal favorite:

"I never smoked pot because of the potential damage to the brain, I like my mental agility" , my reply, "Isn't that a scotch on the rocks in your hand? What about the potential brain damage from alcoholism?"

People amuse me.
 
Two things I can think of that is a double standard:

Resident Evil 5, A lot of ppl took rise against the game due to the fact that two BSA agents have to defend themselves against a group of infected black Africans in Africa, yet in Resident Evil 4 where it took place in Spain? where an agent has to fend himself against the infected Spaniards and no one seem to complain. Hell I remember Kane and Lynch Demon days where it took place in China; having to murder a lot of chinese ppl and no one complains about it.

Bottom line its okay to kill Asians, Caucasians, Americans, Europeans but when it comes to killing a Black person it is considered racist.

Violence against women, seen a poster of it in my school and in my head I'm wondering why just the women and not the men? The word violence in itself is broad subject to tackle as it deals with all sorts of violence and its not like its happening only on women. I remember this reporter mentioning the violence of Grand Theft Auto and she only mention violence against women... -_-

Bottom line protect women because they are precious beings; sacred jewels to our society. Fuck men because they are filthy dirt farmer pigs; slaves to society.

This thread was always suppose to be about double standards. Never about how great anyone was.
But it does raise another double standard.

Women complaining about their problems, normal.

Men complaining about their problems, sexism.

Americans have been trained to have hyper sensitivity towards racial issues concerning African Americans and women with sexism. And there are many truths behind the sensitivity. But at the same time, it completely ignores other groups who have it bad. Native Americans have it terrible in U.S. history. But we rarely seem to talk about that. Women's rights are the best they've been in the U.S. But we never seem to talk about that. Unless we look at the full picture, things are only going to get worse.

Like one thing I don't like about the anti cop movement right now. Are that many people protesting cops are only against racism towards blacks. Rather than against all cop shootings or all cop racism regarding every race. Since I'm definitely not black, but I've had numerous bad experiences with cops. I'm definitely against profiling and racism. But at the same time, can't completely get behind the rhetoric that's being used right now.

And I think there is also an idea regarding both examples that if group A has it worse than group B. Then group B has no rights to complain or claim unfairness. But let's be real, white people can experience racism. And there are many places where it's much better to not be white. And the examples of men needing more rights in America is pretty alarming.
