I pray that your right. Although, it does make sense why it's overblown in the media. I may live in the south but there is no PC here. I guess what we see is the minority.
Sorry, while I was kind of insinuating what you thought I was, I was also trying to say everyone eventually makes that leap no matter how bold or courageous they're outwardly perceived to be
Look above
I watch everything from independent to mainstream. I try to get a broad understanding of what's going on. Sure I have my biases, but I want to look at everything so I can defend my arguments.
So every 13 year old kid who calls every one niggers on Call of Duty is going to prison then. "Stirring up racial hatred" is also not clearly defined, so even the most innocuous words or phrases could be construed as such. It's still all subjective.
I had started typing something earlier but deleted it. The Temp snuck it in as a draft that I didn't see though, sorry for the confusion
Screw you if you think privacy is moot. Also the nothing the hide is not an excuse. Most people break 3 or 4 laws a day without even knowing.
Later apparently meant in 5 seconds and in the same post, lol. That didn't take long. Or did you mean the link I provided? Confusing since you quoted the entire post... If that's the case, I'm willing to bet its because you know you're wrong. I can't speak for any other book, I haven't read them, but the bible is PACKED with condoned violence. TONS of it.
We are the United STATES of America. Our COUNTRY is made up of multiple states. Although calling it a state might be technically correct, considering USA is made up of 50 smaller governments / territories called (take a guess) STATES, anyone here would tell you that sounds wrong. USA is not a state, Massachusetts is a state. Texas is a state. I hope you get the point. If you call the entire USA a state, you're gonna confuse just about anyone here. I'm sorry, but when talking about USA (or other countries with states like Mexico) calling the entire country a state is wrong.
Eh, about a year. Little over. Obviously I don't know you well enough to make a claim like I did seriously, the point was more that you seem to like that website you linked a bit too much.
I did... I literally spelled out for you how the quote of mine that you linked the black-and-white logical fallacy definition to does not fit. If you really can't see that, good luck to you. It wasn't a matter of limiting the options I gave to make my argument seem more valid (intentional or not) there were no "options" at all. I gave a single example that you considered to be irrelevant information, which I do kinda understand. Still not a black-and-white logical fallacy, though.
That's not it at all. Id honestly prefer a "harsh" debate as things are often more clear when not sugar-coated. The reason I'm trying to put a stop to this is because I think it would be seen as "bickering" by most people and I don't wanna get either of us warning points or end up getting the thread locked or something stupid. Plus, its clear at this point that neither of us are going to see things the other person's way. That's fine and all, but it also means there is literally no point to continue arguing over it. No hard feelings or anything like that. Again though, If you really feel you have more to say to me on this, you can PM me, or you can open a blog about it if you'd like it to be public. You can get away with arguing in blogs as long as it doesn't get out of control from what I've seen.
The problem with that is that it is biologically impossible to grow skin impervious to everything said about us throughout our entire lives unless we also happen to not give a shit about anything. "Don't feed the trolls" is bad advice because the troll is very likely to a) try something else that will get under your skin such as getting physical or b) go after somebody else who will cave much easier than you. Some turds will keep hammering at their target until they crack, and they eventually will if the turd doesn't run out of things to hit them with (and if one person doesn't do the trick, grab your friends! I'm sure it'll be a riot!). No one is totally invincible, acting like we can be without getting rid of our ability to feel emotion period is nothing short of stupid. There is a reason we have laws and "common sense" and it's why lines are drawn because without them we'd have collapsed a long time ago, but so far they are ineffective because no one truly upholds them and humanity is only getting worse. Just short of removing emotion (and thought in the process), wiping out the human species is the only effective way to put a stop to this because we humans as a whole are not inclined to be kind even though we have the capacity for it. Being kind is largely taught from someone who is going against the grain (and in the natural world of kill or be killed/survival of the fittest, kindness is very bad at keeping us alive). Our base nature of survival, pursuit of power, and pursuit of pleasure above most else makes our species just shy of outright evil as it is primarily defined at best because it lends itself too much to virtually everything wrong with this planet.
Online though? Just get twitter or whatever to add an option to filter out comments from a particular user. Then you don't have to lay your tender virgin eyes on those terrible, horrible, deadly words. The person wont even know they are blocked because for all they know, you could be seeing it, but not responding. ....or you could just stop reading them. Herp.
.
You honest to god think that this issue is limited to the online world? Please. The truly assholish "trolls/bullies/spammers" don't bore that easy; there is literally no shortage of targets for them. "Trolls/bullies/spammers" don't stop being who they are because of a "lack of reaction" for the moment. They'll find someone else. And I don't care how think you think you can grow your spine, balls, or whatever. Stop acting like you can magically become some invincible superman that no one can touch. It's only by chance that you've never met someone who's willing to take it outside of the computer And if "mean" words shouldn't ever have some sort of impact on someone, than kind words shouldn't either. After all, they're all just words in the end. Only actions really should count for anything right?
"So you're right in a sense." ....in a sense. You can't even admit when you're wrong, lol. Also:
You misquoted me and spelled "you're" and "offense" wrong. Good job. You do know there is a spell check built into the forum, right?
That would be much easier if I had any respect for you, but as I'm sure you guessed by my comment from yesterday basically calling you an arrogant tool, I don't. I said I had no hard feelings toward you, not that I had any respect for you. So again, for a 3rd time now... I'm going to try to do the right thing here and ask that we continue this argument elsewhere if you really wish to do so. Or don't, I honestly couldn't care less. I will not reply to you here again.
Uhh, isn't this about online problems, though? That is what we are talking about, isn't it? 'Cuz I mean.... yea, you're right. Some people will take that into the real world, and at that point it becomes a crime. I don't think anyone here is trying to say otherwise....
lol, I think I already qualified for the "ass" position yesterday, but I'll keep your advice in mind, thanks. In my defense he is calling me pathetic in the quote. Ironic how pathetic it is that he can't tell a word is misspelled even when there is a little red line under it. This is why I asked him to move this elsewhere. It was eventually gonna come down to this.
