"Guilty pleasures" is a BS concept

Uh, no, if I wanted to do that I'd make a thread called "What are your guilty pleasures?" and watch you sheep meekly stroll in and answer the question. I know it would work because it frequently does.

The point of this thread is to make you think, and stop being ashamed of liking things that you like because it's stupid to be ashamed.

It is not now nor shall it ever be our place to judge one another, but we should be willing to both offer and accept help. And help is not something that is simple. You cannot just do someone a favor and hope they land on their feet. Pay It Forward is not realistic.

I WILL NOT POINTLESSLY BICKER!

I disagree. Judging just for the sake of judging is an arrogant act, but judging for the sake of helping others or yourself is not. Like say in kung fu for me, when I'm watching two people spar I can judge their performance and think of how I can attach my criticisms to how I fight and take note so I can improve. It isn't that I think I'm a better fighter than them, but I still can see the errors in their style, and these are errors I may very well make myself. It's a learning experience.
If someone close asks for serious help in a relationship, you won't get anywhere without first judging the relationship and the actions of those involved. Judging doesn't always have to be an act of self-superiority.
While it very commonly is (oh my god, did you see the font she typed that comment in? She is such a drama queen), judging can be used without that arrogance or ego attached.

Pissing off Bleys generally only works if you have some kind of leverage on him. Leverage gained through the use of pipes, perhaps. Or something else! Frig, I can't remember.

This thread was pretending to have two pages (my pages are set at 30 posts)

EDIT: That's weird. Earlier, the Page 2 link brought me to Page 1.

Nice try, you smurfing bastard.

Some of the things I like are really just terrible.

I'm totally in the "it's liking things that are bad" camp. I'm not ashamed of anything I like.
