Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Babies are lovely. It always puts a smile on my face when I see one :)
this is the trashiest trent I’ve ever seen in a school. I really wish people would stop complaining about school dress codes, especially shirts like this. you should think of school as your work environment, and dress appropriately. most schools don’t ban tank tops, belly shirts or visible bras because it could be “distracting”, they ban them because it’s a fucking school. speaking as a 16 year old girl myself, I go out in shirts like this on the weekends, but I don’t wear them to school because its a professional environment. no work place would allow you to wear this, so why wear it to school. and it’s even worse when people try to turn it into a feminist rant or call it “slut shaming”. I understand you’re free to do what you want with your body, but it’s not unreasonable for a school to ask you to cover your undergarments. you’re representative of your school, and that’s why schools have dress codes, not to “oppress” you.

Stop generalizing Christians, please. There is nothing more frustrating than seeing a statement like, “Christians shove their opinions down your throat, hate homosexuals,” etc., etc. Because in all reality, it is essentially the same thing as assuming a Muslim is a terrorist.
Now, before you go ranting about how it is not as bad as it is with Muslims, let me say, I do agree. The worst we Christians deal with are statements like I mentioned above, while Muslims, as we all know, have experienced far worse. However, you are associating all members of a religion (Christians, Muslims) with a group of people that do not even contain a majority of the religion’s followers (Westboro, Al-Qaeda). So it is, basically, the same thing, just not as severe.
In no way am I minimizing the ordeals that Muslims go through—what they must deal with is truly horrible, and I do wish it will all come to an end one day. Christians have it easy when it comes to generalization, that I am sure of. But I do see many Tumblr users defending Muslims and speaking out against their generalization, which I think is great! But if you’re going to do that, at least consider the possibility that this applies to other religions, and not just Christianity. One does not equal all.
I don’t understand why one direction is hated much. I understand if their music isn’t your taste. but as far as I can tell they’re pretty decent human beings. they’re nice to their fans, and they haven’t done anything to seriously damage their reputation. while I am a fan of theirs, I feel exactly the same about other artists. I felt like this about Justin Bieber until he began making poor decisions. I really don’t understand what people find so horrible about most pop artists. it’s okay to not like their music, but I don’t see the point in the cold blooded hate most people seem to have for them.

Despite being a guy, I wear makeup. Not to be “edgy” or to break gender stereotypes or any bullshit. I wear it for the same reasons girls do- it makes me look good. My friends may ridicule me, but my smooth, vibrant skin tone looks a lot better than their dull, acne-riddled faces.
The opinion of it, I suppose, is that men should wear makeup too, and that it’s not just a woman thing.
Taylor Swift is the one artist today I respect 100%
She puts personal details about her life into songs and releases them for the entire world to hear. She dates guys and picks herself back up again when she’s heartbroken. She spends hours with fans to thank them for her success. She wrote a song for Ronan. She can’t really sing all that well but guess who cares? Not her. She manages to be sexy without going overboard. She can be gracious and silly at the same time. I think Taylor is brave, classy and beautiful.
You go Taylor Swift. You fucking go.
The main problem is that nothing in science says that “homophobia” is even a thing. It’s not listed among the actual phobias. It’s more of a slang term that gets used in popular culture to describe a huge range of attitudes, from people who have strong moral objection to homosexuality due to religious beliefs or upbringing, to people who physically find homosexual sex disgusting, to people who brim with an inexplicable rage toward gays.
Now that we’ve gotten that all people who are against homosexuality are not homophobes:
Let’s circle back to people who have a strong objection to homosexuality. Being a homosexual, homosexuality is just a fraction of your being, right? Then, people who are against homosexuality, are not against you, they are against a certain aspect of you.
People don’t have to love everything. No one is forced to be tolerant and accept everything. Being polite is certainly a must but if you can flaunt your homosexuality by wearing a leotard with the gay pride colors splattered all over your crotch yelling “I love butt sex!” all over the streets of California, I can say, “I do not condone homosexuality”
Given the fact that my generation is better educated as a whole than others, I’d like to think that we’re capable of solving some of the problems left by the previous two or three generations, but when I look at things like Tumblr, I realize that’s never going to happen.
You’d think the generation that grew up being told we could do/be anything we wanted, only to graduate college right as the economy collapsed, would be eager to roll up its sleeves and fix the grossly unfair economic system that benefits the wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
Instead, we have Tumblr… where every PC-Thug and Social-Justice-Tryhard is so preoccupied calling themselves “oppressed victims of white malehood,” that they can’t fathom banding together with their enemy, “the patriarchy” to cut the wealthy down to size.
Even when that idea is pointed out to them, they’re so distracted by the “race and sex” of the wealthy that they can’t understand that it’s irrelevant to solving the problem.
The solution is not to make more rich minorities. The solution is to make fewer rich people and enrich everyone else, white, black, man, woman, whatever.
Human history is one long struggle between the haves and have-nots, i.e. rich and poor.
The reason the rich stay rich is because they put all their effort into playing the poor against each other, just like here on tumblr: i.e. “You’re white, you have privilege. You’re straight. You have privilege. You’re male, you have privilege. You’re thin. You have privilege,” or even something as mundane as, “You like this, ergo I don’t like you. You hate that, ergo I hate you.” When the poor argue amongst themselves, fighting over who has it worse, who’s right or wrong, the rich just laugh all the way to the bank. Free tip, proletariat… YOU’RE ALL WRONG.
Wake me when my generation actually grows up and stops arguing amongst themselves about social justice, and starts focusing on the REAL problem: economic justice.
Tax the wealthy.
Stop government handouts to businesses.
Stop having kids.
Nationalize the energy and healthcare industries.
It seems like “fat-fashion” or “fatshion” is basically an excuse for girls to pretend it’s Abstract Halloween all year round.
I’m sorry, but whether or not you go outside dressed like that is irrelevant.
Does anyone in their right mind actually think this Jackson Pollack upchuck of colours looks “good” on this hipsterpotamus?
You look like a clown… and people are right to laugh at you.
Can you do whatever you want because it’s your body/your choice/your whatever? Of course… But that won’t stop people from looking and making fun of you if you post that shit online.
P.S. I do not have a problem with fat people. I am one. I just have a problem with the ones who dress like Divine.
