Should Father's Day be banned?

[Andrew NDB]

Some people out there think it should.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Yes, it should be banned because all dads are sexist pigs who need to check their institutional privelige.

And once this is done, we need to castrate all men as that will permanently stop them from putting women in the oppressive and patriarchial state of pregnancy.

[Coola Yagami]

Wow... another example of 'just **** men over'.

I swear it seems the world hates men more and more as time passes. We are literally only good for what we can provide to society anymore, who cares if we're also people with feelings right?

[DarkFell]

Some people just don't have a Dad to call their own. If they had a Dad, then none of the upset would be a thing.

Most Dads are pretty cool. Therefore, they're entitled to have a day to enjoy.

[Sumac]

Some people had ****** dads and has become a lot like them as a result - hateful and stupid.
Its sad and ironic.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Have they ever heard of Mother's Day?

[Mayhem]

Only if they get rid of Mother's Day.

[Voltron]

Some people think that we should all drink poison in order to join our alien saviors traveling in a UFO behind the comet Hale-Bopp.

Why the hell are we even talking about this? No one in their right mind would take this seriously.

[Andrew NDB]

Why the hell are we even talking about this? No one in their right mind would take this seriously.

But people are.

[Voltron]

And they aren't in their right mind. Fringe lunatics thrive on attention, and they deliberately try to get under your skin to get their fix. Don't give them the satisfaction.

I wonder how many other bat-**** ideas have been floated that have been given WAY more airtime than needed?

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Yeah, and you know what? Let's get rid of Mother's Day too, since it's offensive to Fathers.

And let's not stop there. Let's ban birthday celebrations as well. It's offensive to people who are no longer alive.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Yeah, and you know what? Let's get rid of Mother's Day too, since it's offensive to Fathers.

And name days too. It offends everyone whose name isn't in the calendar.

[Sumac]

Like no-one took seriously idiots who said that people should start banning things, because, of PRESUMED offense and destroy statues, because, they don't know history, yet here we are: companies are banning and censoring things and crowds of retards are destroying statues.

The line between "fine mind" and not, is thin. When critical mass of idiots reaches certain point, idiots start rule the world. So I'd be very careful with dismissing them as powerless fringe lunatics. Especially nowadays.

Those people deserve pushback and ridicule so no-one would listen to them ever again. And this is why highlighting this idiocy is a good thing.

Yeah, these articles are not worth wasting your time or getting everyone riled up about it, IMO, but whatever floats your boat.

[IMJ]

Then, by the logic of the fool "feminist" depicted in the article, Mother's Day is also "offensive" to single fathers as well as gay men who are parents, and should also be banned.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I'm fine with banning both Mothers and Fathers Day. Shut Hallmark down. Birthdays and anniversaries are what matter.

Valentine's day should be the first to go. Lame holiday.

[Cure]

But people are.

What people? Can you link articles that aren't more than two years old and from reputable sites? Can you show tweets from people who are in support of this with more than a couple of retweets and likes?

[IndigoErth]

There's always going to be people who think crappy things. Though I'm not sure why we need to discuss them all.

Shut Hallmark down.
Now you're just getting personal.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Valentine's day should be the first to go. Lame holiday.

Absolutely. It's the trifecta of "buy cards and don't forget this arbitrary day, or you're a terrible person!" holidays.

Now you're just getting personal.

Someone has to fight the good fight.

[IndigoErth]

Someone has to fight the good fight.
That's my job you're talkin' smack about there, buddy, bring it. lol





Although I can assure that most people are totally into celebrating Father's Day, because my cards sold pretty well this year, esp at two of my stores. All the dad gift bags wiped out, too. Feet still hurt, but saved me a little effort on the post-holiday change over.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

That's my job you're talkin' smack about there, buddy, bring it. lol

:tlol: Then in that case, I'll settle for shutting down Hallmark's Valentine/Mother/Father cards, and leave them the birthday/anniversary/it's a boy/girl/graduation cards. Fair enough? :trazz:

[Galactus]

Don't be an instigator.

Did Andrew go though a divorce? He seems to be hard into MGTOW.

[IndigoErth]

lol Hmm... I suppose that would make the work easier and less frustrating with no more back breaking post-holiday changes...though on the down side that would also mean less paycheck.



Eh, they're a pretty decent company though. Far better than my last one. After having the greedy bastards at the top of my prior employer, I was rather surprised when the owner of Hallmark voluntarily took a pay cut due to the shut downs while at the same time giving us workers added pandemic pay (ending after next week).

I mean, no one has to buy cards and whatnot, but plenty of people still like to. Even if I myself tend to stick to the ones I stock at Dollar Tree.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Nothing to do with his personal life, Andrew makes joke threads all the time.

[TommyT]

Always with a MGTOW theme, apparently. But by all means, white knight for him.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

MGTOW? What's that?

Save me the Urban Dictionary search? :tlol:

[Cure]

Google also exists. You could have found out in quicker time than it took to write that reply to this thread.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Yep, I sure could have.

But on the off chance that I stumble across $hit my work machine won't like, this way, I gain superior knowledge AND no "site blocked due to workplace blah blah blah."

A miracle, yes? Such strategy.

But THANK YOU, Cure, for looking out for me. I can always count on you, dear brother.

[Galactus]

Basically red pilled guys who are anti feminism and anti women. Very incel-esque who advocate removing men away from an increasingly female dominated society.

[TommyT]

@Cylons If your book reads like this, don’t quit your day job, ever.

Oh Jesus, Kevin Smith? Yeah, ditch his ism’s while you’re at it.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Kevin Smith? No idea what you're talking about.

But seriously, dude, I'm not taking you home. You and me, together, it's never gonna happen. Sorry to do that to you.

But you can remember this time we shared, and beat off to it in the shower. No judgment.

Zero funny, and homophobic.

[neatoman]

Should Father's day be banned? Obviously not, that is dumb proposition.

The argument sound in that article, that it would be offensive single mothers, is silly. If that was valid, then wouldn't Mother's day in turn be offensive to single fathers?

[IndigoErth]

Didn't look at it, but if that is its argument, that it's offensive to single parents, yeah, that's pretty stupid. There is no point having an issue against one when the other exists for moms.

Come on, Father's Day (and likewise for Mother's Day) isn't even only about fathers... it's also about grandfathers, uncles, and any of the men in a person's life who may fill that roll, so even if someones own father isn't in the picture for whatever reason, chances are that there are other valued men in their life and is why "like a father" cards exist along with many general cards, not only the dad ones.

[Leo656]

My wife always wishes me Happy Father's Day because we're "parents" to our puppy dog. That's cute. :)

22 years ago-ish, the girl whose abortion I paid for used to also wish me a Happy Father's Day, because she had a dark sense of humor. That was.... a lot less cute. :ohwell:

[Leo656]

Condoms break a lot easier than you'd f*cking think, apparently.

Also, did you know some girls lie about taking the pill? Because SOME girls lie about taking the pill!

That was a helluva situation. She'd have gone to jail for committing a felony with a minor if we didn't do anything, though, and I wasn't about to let that happen, so... yeah. Is what it is.

But yeah, condoms break, and it's best to demand to see the script for those pills. Watch her take them, if possible. But don't take them at their word, that can be very expensive.

[Sumac]

Ban everything, it is the only way to ensure nothing is -phobic.

Zero funny, and homophobic.
So just like you? :lol:

[sdp]

Algorithms of your feeds whether google/facebook/etc see what you read or interact with and feed you more of that, that's how people become so polarized eventually all their feed is just articles they agree with or extreme examples of why the other things are crazy. Pretty ironic that in the age of information people are more uninformed than ever.

[TommyT]

No comrade, zero, as in the number of women you’ve slept with, the number of times your opinion has mattered, and rights you have in the Motherland.

[Sumac]

Oh, poor kid, speaks about his own experience again as if it was someone else's?
Typical.

[TommyT]

That didn't translate, misogynist. Have another shot of wodka, and go again.

Remind me again, is it one computer per family, or village? Is this state sanctioned trolling, or are you risking it all to lob lame insults at a Canadian.
I hear the wifi is better in the Gulag.

[Sumac]

Alas, Poor TommyT! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite dumb, of most excellent retardness; he hath biten my toe a dozen times; and now, how hilarious in my imagination it is!

I never got the impression that Andrew was making any kind of a stand with these posts nor that he was trying to illustrate that thousands of people are behind this.

I always got the impression that his real commentary was just to point out that these kinds of people are out there and that they are given too much credibility and too much consideration.

And I think that is just enough to make some people understand and others on the other side of the spectrum go apeshit with emotional reaction which is also commentary in it's own right.

[wpugh2424]

But people are.

Yea this extreme leftist movement to make changes based on their agenda is such garbage. There is typically no real basis for these types of arguments that gain steam via tons of media coverage and overhype.
Yea people can talk about it and take it seriously but this is really not the majority of the population. However, as I said above it seems like it?s more popular cause the major left media pushes so strong and we have so many weak minded people grab onto these ideas and try to push it.these are the types of people who think they can just demand things and believe they will happen

Example: comment is made, they say resign cause said comment is offensive, media pushes it, these weaklings latch on and boom its being talked about .

Crazy how this is happening on everyday events

Irritates the crap outta me and it?s such garbage
It headlines news everyday.
The extremes left acts so liberal and accepting but really they aren?t. You are the bad person if you don?t go along with their agenda. They aren?t making the world more accepting and free, they are ruining it
