Comment Attacking me now are you? (Score 0) 1097

Oh so I've got to "correct my worldview" with some random goatse link or something instead of expressing freedom of speech - funny how libertarians do that when someone wants to say something other than propaganda they want to spread.

This thing in Texas was a deliberate case of shouting fire in a crowded theatre - you can do it but consequences should be expected.

It may not be hard to do, but deliberate trolling is definitely what is going on.
It looks like it's counterproductive and just adds more fuel to those who want to recruit more radicals. "See this thing in Texas kids, it means all of America hates us - so sign up now to teach them what we taught the Russians in Afganistan". That's how it goes. Stupid in every level (especially the bit about the Russians but they do believe it) but still just adding fuel to the flames for a bit of personal publicity aided by useful idiots.

Then join with me in BBQ pig in a synagogue. Surely they'd be no reaction to that? I may not share beliefs with them but I can recognise deliberate pissing on beliefs to draw a response when I see it.

That's the level of deliberate stirring we're seeing and it is designed to get a response - bbq in synagogue level squared. If I was in law enforcement in that place I'd make them have their international trollfest way out in the desert so bystanders don't get killed if someone takes the bait.

You clearly know almost nothing about him

NOW; WHO THE FUCK ARE THE FASCISTS

He's definitely one, the others are something else and something worse because they are prepared to murder him just because he is spouting his beliefs.
Happy now? Or did I disappoint you be being a real person that thinks both sides in this issue are deplorable and not a handy strawman on one side or the other?

"You cannot possibl(y) be so stupid" is not actually an insult is it. I am accusing you of posting as if you are far more stupid than you actually are instead of accusing you of stupidity. Comments such as the following are obviously far beneath you:

I think perhaps the goal is to change STEM into another version of the veterinarian field, where men are becoming pretty scarce.

So if you want to pretend to be an idiot you should be able to put up with a mild rebuke as a consequence. In you don't like it then there's an easy fix - stop pretending to be an idiot just to try and turn a storm into a teacup into some kind of insane global conspiracy.

As for your anecdote - yes high school was a shitty time for anyone other than the head of the football team - so consider your anecdote and have some empathy with the girl who posted the story because she was picked on a bit more due to a teacher's fuckup. That's all there is to see here - no global conspiracy.

Are you really telling me you can't tell the difference between this fuckup where the teacher made things difficult for the girls in the class and that?
You can?
Then what is the point of posting it at all? It has fuckall to do with the post we are commenting on.
This is not about images of naked women in modern society, this is about kids acting like little shits in a high school class fuelled by a teacher's idiotic fuckup.

Which was in 2007, and his day job was an economist in the finance industry while he was writing those.

Edge cases were considered in science long before an economist picked a new name for a gross oversimplification of old ideas. He's very much an anti-statistician and calls them "pseudoscientists".

What is the motivation of your little luddite sig? To say that the views of any expert are worthless and thus climate science if worthless - or is it something less obvious that makes you want to challenge the authority of anyone with a clue?

and runs the whole stereotype of men as misogynistic pigs.

The boys in that class probably were (think back to your schooldays) so the search for something that was sourced from a centrefold is a fuckup on several levels.

Did a shock-jock eat your brain? No? Then lay off with the ridiculous over-reaction that insults the intelligence of everyone that reads it. You cannot possible be so stupid as to connect a complaint about porn in the classroom with a vast social conspiracy - shock-jocks had to destroy their brains with years of cocaine abuse to get that far.

True enough By pointing out how a picture of a woman that is rated G

A centrefold with nipples on show rated G in the land of the massive outrage of a nipple at the Superbowl? Not a chance of it being rated G. Mild or not, it's still porn in the CS class and the boys went into Bevis and Butthead mode which upset the girls. It was a fuckup. It's as stupid as rolling out the porn at Sunday school.
