^ hell yeah The Ranger's Apprentice books. I used to read them but then they got a bit childish to me.

^ thank you, man. I couldn't agree more.
Exactly. People mug, so you shouldn't walk streets with a bad reputation at night alone with clothes screaming "I'm rich". People kidnap, so you shouldn't accept an offer for a ride home from a stranger in a white van. People rape, so you shouldn't get blackout drunk when you're surrounded by untrustworthy people. It's not your fault they're assholes, but it is your responsibility not to make yourself vulnerable to assholes. As man said, it's only common sense. Now you've learnt not to trust people, why make up a phenomenon instead of accepting that some people are just assholes?

There's the matter of talking about it immediately, why is obviously hard, and talking about it some time later. If you can't talk about it even after some time, then it's bad coping. Until now I haven't told anyone except my mother and my best friend (for a different reason than not being able to talk about it, I simply don't want people to see me as a victim and lose my other traits in their eyes), but if I was asked by a psychologist or someone like that to describe what happened, I'd have no problem.
There's an easy solution for this, and that is don't fucking drink! Yeah, people are assholes, are you so surprised by that? Of course what they did is wrong, but they were obviously not to be trusted in the first place.

No it's not, nobody can describe the situation better than the one who's been a part of it, and "muh feelings" is hardly an excuse. It's surely a traumatic event, nobody is denying that, but if you can't talk about it, then you need to see a psychologist to help you with coping with it.
"Victim is shamed"? That's because by your definition, the word "victim" has too broad of a span. Hell, you count girls who got drunk at a party and then slept with someone but regretted it as "rape victims", and then call everyone who has the guts to call on the girl's bullshit a sexist pig. There've been many cases of men being arrested and imprisoned because a bitch called the cops on them because her drunk ass can't handle responsibility for her own actions.
And get real, nobody does the whole "so dress more modestly" thing anymore. And who does is a retard, honestly.

>men
You obviously didn't read the previous comments, did you?
Ya know, like the one when I say I sympathize with the victims because the same thing happened to me, but I still think that the whole rape culture thing is retarded? Because I often get the impression that 90% of you feminazi sjws use other people's cases to justify your bullshit spewing while not even regarding the opinion of those who actually went through this kind of stuff. So, I repeat: rape culture does not exist. It is messed up individuals who make this happen, just like all other crimes in the world, with the exception that petty theft can sometimes be justified. Do we have a "murder culture"? A "thief culture"? (Well maybe in Riften they do, amirite) Rape culture is not a thing, nobody is encouraged to rape anyone by any means. Boys nowadays are discouraged from touching a girl unless she allows it, and rape is considered one of the most messed up crimes. What more do you want?

Yeah, makes sense.

K then. New Zealand just has the most kinds of birds, I guess, since the island separated from the original megacontinent Pangea very early on, and so the birds diversified into predators and prey, just like the marsupials did in Australia. We had a Kiwi teacher tell us about this, that there are half a metre tall pigeons, turkey-like birds with no sense of fear as they had no natural predator until the humans came and they were almost hunted into extinction, cassowaries which are really badass...so I guessed it was NZ.

Oh no, I totally understand you. A hardworking person is often percieved as more valuable than a talented one who just gets everything right without even trying. One should find a balance between being able to improvise and work hard to reach some results.

Hardly. I'm in a class of 30 people who were chosen from hundreds of candidates. I wouldn't call that a low standard. Would you?

IQ is an indicative of problem solving skills, that's true. That is also why I wrote that it's not a determining factor. And yes, even not very intelligent people can do well in school if they study hard, the thing is I almost never study and have As/Bs. Combined with the fact that the tests for the school I'm on were both problem-solving and knowledge based tests, I suppose it's safe to say I'm at least slightly above intelligent. I don't know what's problem with "realizing how dumb average people are". Although I hate bragging, I have proof of higher intelligence, and I think there is nothing wrong with having a healthy self confidence. I used to be extremely shy (well I still am quite shy) and underestimate myself a lot. I never participated in any contests because I thought I'd lose. It changed about two years ago, and since then I did well in almost everything I participated in. So, in my opinion, it's not bad to say something good about yourself, provided you have proof.

My IQ test, I suppose. That in itself is not a determining factor, but also the fact that I've been accepted to a selective high school a few years ago, also I was chosen to represent our city as an exchange student to the US last year... It's also been proven that everyone thinks of themselves as above average, so maybe it's just that.

Yeah I figured out as much, it was a joke about your username.

I guess stoners don't care about society amirite (just a joke, don't get offended)

The opinion of the public is still important for our social lives. Realizing how dumb the average people are, and that a half of them are even dumber, it's sad to see that these people control the world because they're the majority. And they're also annoying.
