I'm a fluent welsh speaker, and when people come to my country and go to lessons or whatever to learn a bit of our language, some stupid fucks laugh at them for their pronunciation and shit, which puts a lot of people off from learning any more of it. It's so dumb because they constantly talk about how our language is dying..

EDIT for anyone who would like to be able to swear a bit in Welsh: http://www.youswear.com/index.asp?language=Welsh http://www.rhegiadur.com/

[–]Baastrami 2252 ポイント2253 ポイント  (60子コメント)

I work in kitchens. When I was about 19, my head chef was Colombian, and I always teased him about his accent and his pronunciation of English words. He finally looked at me and said "I speak two languages. You're going to make fun of me when you only speak one?" It was that moment that I realized I was an asshole.

Edit: Thanks for the Gold! To everyone asking: I did apologize. We had a great working relationship after that, and I actually quit the job when they fired him.

[–]Hazzdavis 165 ポイント166 ポイント  (18子コメント)

Did you at least then apologise?

[–]Baastrami [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

Of course. I've since worked with others who speak English as a second language, and I'm far more helpful. I'm also the first to tell someone else to knock it off if they start mocking someone.

[–]mrgonzalez [スコア非表示]  (12子コメント)

No, he realised he was an asshole, accepted it, then embraced it. His ability to be an asshole has improved drastically since that day.

In Welch Welsh:

[–]sotonohito 404 ポイント405 ポイント  (13子コメント)

It's a little known fact that the original inhabitants of Wales didn't actually come overland from the rest of England, but rather sailed there from across the Bristol Channel and the Irish Sea. This was, at the time, a hazardous journey and regrettably most of their vowels fell overboard on the trip.

I took a welsh class at my college, and its such a fun language. The pronunciation's the best part!

[–]IPoopOnGoats 128 ポイント129 ポイント  (5子コメント)

This is always the case with communities, particularly small communities. Some people look at the community and think "wow, what an awesome community, we should let more people know about it and become a part of it." Others think "wow, what an awesome community, we should keep it pure so that it stays awesome." You hate the people who scoff at bad pronunciation because you're in the first camp - while they scoff because they're in the second camp and derive a lot of their self-identification from the purity and exclusiveness of their little community.

I think yours is the far better approach to life, by the way.

[–]crack_on_draft 178 ポイント179 ポイント  (27子コメント)

Exactly.

I get the same feeling watching the news. When they report on something I understand very well and I see how wrong their reporting is, it really makes me question their coverage of anything else.

They should either get rid of innocent until proven guilty or start adhering to it.

The moment someone gets arrested they have their name plastered all over, especially if it's higher profile. It's starting to affect juries, and that can affect outcomes of trials, leading to mistrials and appeals being granted.

[–]BloodyUsernames 123 ポイント124 ポイント  (24子コメント)

Serious question. If this were the case, what about things like wanted pictures? Should the media be able to show pictures if the cops are trying to find the person? Obviously this doesn't apply if the person has already been arrested, but since your argument ( to me at least) extends to the media treatment before arrest as well it just seemed like a sticky point.

[–]Davecasa 142 ポイント143 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Picture, name. Police are looking for this person. Said person is/is not considered dangerous. Please contact this number if you have any information.

[–]corby315 670 ポイント671 ポイント  (124子コメント)

Well arrests without names or mugshots plastered all over the paper. I've seen cases where people say they just look guilty. What the fuck does that even mean?

[–]quentin-coldwater 333 ポイント334 ポイント  (105子コメント)

How do you think we should accomplish this without harming freedom of speech and freedom of the press?

Publicized arests and trials are a byproduct of an open justice system. The alternative is a system where the government is allowed to arrest and try people without the public knowing.

I wouldn't want to live in a country where secret arrests and trials were the norm.

[–]NicoUK 975 ポイント976 ポイント  (158子コメント)

Agreed.

Until someone has been found guilty, it should be illegal to report that they've been arrested.

[–]InfamousMason 1581 ポイント1582 ポイント  (109子コメント)

The problem comes when you don't publicly announce that you're arresting someone and people just start disappearing. You've just created a secret police.

[–]NicoUK 308 ポイント309 ポイント  (67子コメント)

There would still be records for the arrests, which would be accessible via Freedom of Information acts, and if the person is found guilty, then the press or whoever can go nuts.

[–]KarmaTroll 173 ポイント174 ポイント  (18子コメント)

The moment someone gets arrested they have their name plastered all over, especially if it's higher profile. It's starting to affect juries, and that can affect outcomes of trial

Honestly I'd say if you want respect don't show disrespect.

A slight difference but it means that you should always start by respecting someone until they give you reason not to, rather than only respecting them once they prove worthy of respect.

[–]cherak 65 ポイント66 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I was literally just about to comment this. For some reason, I have a deep, powerful disgust for this behaviour in particular. I don't even have experience with it, it just makes me so angry and disgusted. To do such a selfish, emotionally-destructive thing is fucking abhorrent.

[–]BaneOfWindmills 316 ポイント317 ポイント  (82子コメント)

For me, it's because I've never seen an ethically justifiable case of someone cheating.

If you're dating someone, you're trying to see if that's the person you'd be willing to spend the rest of your life with; who you would swear to be closer to than anyone else. At that point, you've traditionally not made any true vows. Therefore, if you're unhappy you should either break up and be done with it, or have a serious discussion about the boundaries and expectations you have for the relationship. Easier said than done sometimes, but necessary.

If you're married or otherwise sworn to someone, you should not be breaking any of your vows EVER if you want those vows to mean anything at all. If you're unhappy with something in the relationship, you owe it to the person you swore to be with and love forever to tell them. Either you'll work together to fix it, or you'll decide OPENLY to end it. Anything else is either a messy legal/medical situation or ethically wrong.

[–]why_is_stuff 245 ポイント246 ポイント  (50子コメント)

One person is emotionally and physically abusive to their significant other. When that SO attempts to end the relationship, it is met with physical violence, emotional battery, and threats. The victim seeks refuge in an intimate relationship on the side.

That, or some variation, is the only exception I can think of.

[–]BaneOfWindmills 203 ポイント204 ポイント  (18子コメント)

It's certainly a good exception. It comes down to semantics for me really. Personally, the moment abuse gets put into the mix, I consider the vows broken. Any attempt to get out of that relationship from there on is therefore not cheating because you are actively attempting to end the relationship. That said, it is a rather blurry line and absolutes don't really apply themselves well.

[–]el_monstruo 375 ポイント376 ポイント  (128子コメント)

As somebody whose wife cheated on him and whose mother cheated with my friend's father earlier in my life I'd just like to say fuck all cheaters. They are some of the most selfish and despicable people on the planet.

I remember discussing this with some family members like 2 years ago and they were like "shit happens" and "some things you can't explain" and so on.

FUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKK YOUUUU!!!!

There is absolutely NO excuse for this bullshit because not only does it fuck over the SO who is being cheated on but it also fucks over the kids (if there are any) family members of both people, friends, etc. it creates a lot of fucking bullshit because somebody wanted to be super fucking selfish.

Fuck cheaters!!!

EDIT:

People seem to think that I hate cheaters because of my post. That's not the case. I try my hardest not to hate anybody but I don't have much respect for people who choose to take such actions and I don't like it when people try to justify those actions, that's what I mean by "fuck them".

[–]wittyrandomusername 199 ポイント200 ポイント  (35子コメント)

I know a guy who is on the sex offender list because when he was 19, he had sex with a 16 year old. He was actually in a relationship with her and ended up getting her pregnant. Her mom was totally cool with it until one day the girl decided she didn't want to be with him. So the mom pressed charges.

Fast forward to now, the guy is almost 40, and has three kids with his now wife (different girl). Plus he has a baby with her, but nobody believes it's his kid. Now this is a very abusive relationship. She has literally beaten him and he refuses to fight back. Partly because of morals, and partly because she has a big family that would kick his ass if he laid a finger on her. She's kicked him out multiple times and even tells the kids what an ass he is. She parties all the time, and he's the one who usually gets the kids up for school and all that. She has threatened him multiple times telling him that if he tries to get a divorce, she'll claim that he molested the daughters.

Now I'm not saying cheating is right, but honestly I wouldn't look down on this guy if he did.

They're more likely to get a fine and a ban from keeping animals for 'x' amount of time (how that's even enforceable I don't know) than a prison term or anything else. I don't know what it's like in the rest of the world.

At least in the US we also have a huge problem with puppy mills. Wish we could regulate them significantly more. The horror stories about dogs from mills are frightening.

All expression is acceptable because all expression teaches us something.

The negative expression (racism, sexism, homophobia, bullying, etc.) serves as an example for us to shy away from and grants us an opportunity to relearn the meaning of human dignity.

I once heard someone make the argument "We don't need these ideas because society has absolutely nothing of value to learn from them"

The problem with that logic is society is not in a static state. It is constantly renewed with new generations and humans have a tendency to forget important lessons without a constant reminder.

We need the terrible ideas to inspire the wonderful ones and we need to see how ugly humanity can be in order to fuel our growth of beauty.

I think parents who don't vaccinate their children must be punished.

Heard a good quote a few years back in Government class.
"You are free to do whatever you want in this country, as long as it doesn't violate the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of another individual."

So sure you have the "right" to make your own personal choices, but the second it violates your child's "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness," your personal choice doesn't matter.

I think it's a huge problem where parents act as if their children are their property and that they can do what they want without regard for the childs future.

[–]untaken-username 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's tricky with kids. Arguably, punishing a child - be it corporal punishment or even just being grounded or put in timeout - restricts their liberty.

They only real solution is education, because punishment will only introvert them from reality further.

That feminism is wanting gender equality, and being a feminazi is something else entirely.

[–]Block_After_Block 47 ポイント48 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I have to remind people sometimes what feminism actually is. I am in favor of equal rights between men and women. I am a feminist. Sometimes people I know will refer to some outspoken asshole that they met as a "feminist" sort of in a disparaging way.

It sort of reminds me of when Michael Scott asks if there is a less offensive way to refer to someone as "Mexican" and Oscar asks, "how is that offensive?" Just replace Mexican with "feminist."

[–]Deggyy 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Exactly! I consider myself a feminist, but I also think men get the short end of the stick in many situations, and we should be fighting gender stereotyping and laws on both sides. Only by helping everyone does anyone make progress.

Electronic music takes much more skill and technical accuracy to produce well than many realise.

This is actually different from the usual mumbo jumbo I hear on opinion threads.

Yeah, I like this one. It seems like many people on here think their opinion must seem offensive to be able to post it. This is a nice change.

I agree there man. But as a guitarist, I would also say the same about metal. Sone people still can't understand that something like "through the fire and flames" isn't just random strumming.

[–]mstrdpncks 164 ポイント165 ポイント  (38子コメント)

Yeah, I see irrational hate on metal, too. People declaring songs as bad when they just don't like them. Music elitists piss me off, I would never describe a song as 'bad', when there is an obviously amount of effort behind the song.

[–]Pixelwarlord 365 ポイント366 ポイント  (24子コメント)

I disagree.

Music is subjective, ofcourse, and so there is no such thing as bad music. However, "effort" should never factor in the quality of the final product. The maker and the made are two seperate things.

If I played piano with 4 fingers instead of 5, I would never consider the music produced to be better than that done by 5 fingers just because of the extra effort.

I would rather appreciate one who delivers quality than one who delivers anything but with effort.

To add onto this: "electronic music" is so vast and varied that almost any generalisations made about it cannot possibly apply to everything. People think that "electronic music" is Skrillex and Calvin Harris, but there's so many subgenres and different styles that I think anyone could find a type of electronic music they like

[–]Joedirt112 196 ポイント197 ポイント  (93子コメント)

Absolutely. One of my biggest misconceptions growing up was that electronic music "wasn't real music" and that "all they do is press buttons on their computers." Now, as I actually attempt to produce electronic music, I realize how wrong I was.

[–]macros-the-black 354 ポイント355 ポイント  (22子コメント)

It's sort of like saying pianists just press buttons.

It's not even real music, the guitar just makes sounds!

[–]Sylaris 147 ポイント148 ポイント  (63子コメント)

One of the things I have against it is repetition. I get that it is very hard to make/produce, but you only have to get it right once. Once it's finished, as far as I'm aware, that's all that needs to be done, and you could put it away for twenty years, play it at a concert and no one could tell. With instrumental music, you have to be able to get it right every time you play it, even if that is years after recording and production.

That being said, I have very little understanding of the production of music, electronic or otherwise.

There's no such thing as a 'Friendzone', she's either interested or not not.

Edit: I'm a guy.

[–]NegligibleSenescense 262 ポイント263 ポイント  (56子コメント)

The way I've always understood it, a girl who wants to be friends with you is not "friend zoning" you. That's just stupid. The friendzone is a rare occurrence where someone knows that you're interested, and uses that to manipulate you by giving you false hope that they could also potentially be interested in the future. I've never had this happen to me; I've never heard of this happening to anyone I know, but I don't think I could confidently say that it doesn't exist.

So many: Lobbying shouldn't be allowed. Companies are not people. Companies shouldn't be able to fund government campaigns. Government officials shouldn't accept any money to run for office, there should be a rule to make it the same for all candidates.
