I am not the object of any discussion in here other that music and movies and I don't think you should comment on me as I should not comment on you.

What's a lot? I think a lot is a lot of those that wind up in the news and not a lot statistically.

I would guess 60 percent at least. There are no statistics of it, people aren't going around asking that culture and religion "hey if you could throw a gay person off a roof would you?'

I don't have a number for you, I am saying based on my own research that the number is larger than you think but it's ignored because people here are scared of being called an islamophobe when it's not even that it's just the truth. Just like how many catholic priests in the past and present have molested kids and been protected by it.

Well, I've known a few Muslims and their families and they all assure me that such Muslims are a rarity. My guess is that it's far far less than you describe. I'm going to guess less than 10% at the outside.
I've seen one estimate that says there are 1.8 Billion Muslims in the world. Another estimate said about 200 Million Muslim women have undergone genital mutilation. That would be about 11% of the Muslims. I would also assume that the tradition is dying out and it is practiced in less than 11% of the victims, currently.

No, I think the creators are really dumb though. Anytime somebody has tried to get political in an ad or commercial, it gets so many dislikes.

It worked wonderfully for Nike with the Kaepernick ads (just look at their recent financial results) - and we will have to wait and see how it works in this case. I suspect that it will work fine as well - because I believe the majority of people are good and would reward them because they now have an association with something that stands for something good.

You assert that men are snowflakes that will be offended by an ad that advocates people being decent. Time will tell.

Well unfortunately people are stupid and bought the Kaepernick shit and then started praising nike meanwhile the company donates to the republican party, so really they are just smart and fucked everybody. Gillette on the other hand is not nearly as big as nike and their demographic as men. Coming out with an ad telling men how to act is kinda ridiculous and it's not hard to tell. I get it though, the classic portland "progressive" forum saying this is such a great thing. Same old same old, whats new. This thinking is cult/religion levels at this point. Spot the connection here

by the way, this is just one of the topics, we aren't even talking about the women who are severely oppressed in the middle east who get beat and can't show their face. Also the amount of people over there who believe in killing gay people or don't believe in gay marriage at all, etc. They still stone people to death over there for fuck sake and there is a lot of weird incest that takes place as well. It's fucked.

I honestly think you are wrong about this.

The Kaepernick stuff worked because it was praising the right of Americans to speak their mind and advocate for something good - it did not work because people are stupid. Likewise, I suspect that the Gillette ad will work because it advocates for something good - which is that people do right by other people. Both associate the company with something people usually believe in - which is the role of advertising.

Time will tell.

It's not close to 20%.
No, whatever the percentage, it's certainly not okay. Why would you ask such a question?
I think I wasn't clear enough. I'm saying don't peg all of them when a small minority of them adhere to a horrible cultural practice.

Which makes the assumption that "men are bad". Specifically "white men are bad".

dude, you aren't even white, why do you care?

I self identify as a white male.

Seriously though, these crazy feminists when they are done with white males, they will go after all males who exhibit "traditional masculine" traits, mindsets and what not. They won't stop until all men are lumps of soy.
 
Spent decades trying to find a Gillette blade that worked well for me.

Finally gave up and tried the Schick Hydro5, wow, perfect shave everytime.

Yes they are spendy, but they stay sharp much long. The result is they are no more spendy than cheap blades with short lives.
 
Getting men to be little pussies actually makes my life easier.

Roll over them like a fucking freight train bro.
 
I wonder if Gillette will next come out with an ad for me, "The Best A Mod Can Be."

I liked the Sensor Excel, wasn't into these 3, 4, 5 blade bullshit.

I got sick of the costs though and I'm using Safety Razors now:

Amazon product ASIN B001G5HZCY
I buy disposible razors for when I travel though
