No joke here. I just think stuff like this is interesting.

    Dude, your own example was wrong. I’m not going to go through every county you pick to see whether or not you are right this time. If you can’t admit you’re wrong, fine, but don’t keep wasting my time by not even admitting you’re wrong with your own example before moving on.

    But fine, I’ll prove you wrong twice. I’m sure you still won’t just admit you’re wrong.

      That’s fine, I’ll keep trying - because an absolute statement like “Every County in Every State has them” is just not something I can believe. I told you they weren’t popular, I’ve proven that. I told you that it stopped ages ago; I’ve proven that. But if you’re going to make me disprove your absolute statement, then I’m up for it.

        And now you’re just lying. This is what you said:

        This shit stopped ages ago. Dunno what bumfuck state you live in that still does these, but it’s not as widespread as you purport.

        You said nothing about popularity. You were wrong with both of your examples and you clearly didn’t even bother checking to find out whether or not you’d be wrong because it took me seconds of Googling to find out.

        People who can never admit they’re wrong even when it has been shown that they are absolutely wrong are not worth my time. I can’t abhor arrogance on a Donald Trump level.

          Meanwhile, this is all over me pointing out that more than half of Anime features sexualization of minors. Not dress-up contests, but actual upskirt shots and shit… and you’re over here absolutely losing your mind over beauty pageants.

          What the hell did you think “it’s not as widespread as you purport” means? You’ve linked me pages with at most a couple hundred followers; I’ve proven that nobody follows this shit. Of COURSE there are going to be grandmas and other dipshits that still want them to go on. I’m sorry that you’ve got a problem with your self image, I know arrogance is difficult to overcome, but I’m willing to work with you on it. Nobody goes to these things. Nobody participates in this shit. You’ve been linking me shit from facebook where like 10 people organized a thing and you’re claiming it’s everywhere like wildfire. I don’t know how to get it through your head that it’s just simply not a thing in America that people care about.
