Welcome to Gaia! ::

I suppose it's like dead skin.

Yep.

Or what about this? What if everyone in the world spoke English (note that doesn't mean forced)? And what if the universal system was the metric system?

Makes a lot of sense. I think over an immensely long time everyone's accent would become the same. Maybe, maybe not.

Do you think it would be beneficial as a whole? I think it'd be morally wrong of us to force everyone to learn it or even some people because you know there are going to be people that will absolutely refuse to learn it. But, I think in the long run if everyone learned English, or French, and just had one universal language things would work a lot better. Maybe it'll contribute to world peace. Although, the cost would a lot, I would imagine.

I doubt that a unified or standarized language would ever take hold. Look at Esperanto. People feel a unique sense of pride in their own language. Hell, it's one of the things that defines a culture. I believe that if language was unified, you'd still have people preferring one person's English over another, and everything would go to hell. Good in theory, probably ungood in practice. Like communism.

As to being actually sexist, that's something that only each Peabody could answer individually. As a group though, we do love the controversy of the matter.

As for me well.. I suppose in actuality I'm probably the least sexist of the Peabodies, (though I don't generally know the actual opinion of women that the others hold) as I'm only in it for the humor. Do I really hate women as much as I claim? Probably not. I mean, I even have some female friends, and am not constantly spouting chauvinistic philosophy 24/7.

I suppose what I am mostly against are:

Feminists and Single Mothers.

Feminists because they are demanding more rights than even men have, without the responsibility that men have in society. And single mothers because I generally think that children who are the product of single mothers are less disciplined and more inclined to be criminal. It's the feministic single mother that I hate the most, as they claim to not even need men to raise a child. I believe that the presence of a father is important in the raising of a child, as the father figure is often the one who can discipline a child effectively, as well as other various important life lessons.

Do all women have bad personalities? No. Are they all after money? No. Are there women who I have actually viewed as more than just 'sexual objects'? Absolutely.

What I do on Gaia, more often than not, is a cruel form of social satire against people. I blatantly expose those issues which need to be addressed in the manner in which I do, because if I didn't, no one would take note. Satire is all about getting people to take note of what you say. If I presented ideas in a 'friendly' everyday tone, people would over look me. Case in point, often times when I give scientific answers to things/friendly advice/good advice/supportive advice, my posts go overlooked. But when I say inflammatory things people take note and get offended, which allows me to make whatever point I wanted to make, with the assurance that people are listening.

Am I as big an a*****e in RL as I am in Gaia? That depends, I suppose. Interacting with the other Peabody Pirates, absolutuly. Outside of that sphere, not as much. The people and the location determine how I act, mostly.

I sort of figured that was the case. I could give you a few hypotetical situations but I don't think I really need to. I just get a bit tired of seeing your sig as if it were directed at me. But thanks for that.

Well about the single mother thing. Not all single mothers choose or plan to be. Some wish that their significant others had stuck around so I don't think it is always their fault. More of a case by case basis.

As for feminists most of the time I think they are wrong as well but it would be nice for things to actually be equal. If that stat about women making 80% of what men do is infact true then it's a piss off but a lot of women just want the good without the bad. I would be happy to take both and get the gender issues over with. It's a tired battle.
