I don't understand this. "Don't go after the white folk racists! Them blacks is just as bad!" Why are we trying to shift the blame so that if some blacks call whites crackers and some whites call blacks niggers let's just call it even? How about we call them both out without downplaying one side OR the other. The "but they do it too" game is itself inherently racist because it detracts from the point that racism directed in any direction is immoral.

If a woman is outraged by Jezebel's content that proves that Jezebel's motives are to outrage. And if she isn't outraged then she simply isn't a liberal brainwashed sheep falling into the honey pot. You might just have an unbeatable argument there, were it not for the lack of supporting evidence (based in reality.)

Yeah I guess you're right. Let's ignore the word's history as a term of disparagement, accompanied with violence, because kids these days just stop short of carving the words 'faggot' or 'nigger' into someone's corpse.

How does one get into this collage racket?

But shower sex is aaaawweeeesome. So I've been told. By his wife.

It's not a non-sequiter. It's an apt analogy of the mental capacity of a suicidal person to escape their suicidal tendencies: very slim without outside assistance. In both cases there will be a helpless victim. If someone is troubled enough to contemplate and engage in suicidal behavior then they are far from mentally healthy. I think it's time people start caring about victims in both of my hypothetical situations.

I find your misanthropic attitude disgusting. What happened to caring about the human condition? What happened to empathy and sympathy? Saying that people who kill themselves are doing it for attention - why don't you pursue the cause of their seeking the attention in the first place? Could it be that they are hurting and feel alone (probably thanks to uncaring assholes like you)? I mean seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?

I have a gun to someone else's head. Are you going to tell me to 'shoot!', for teh lulz?

Or, I'm on webcam with a gun to my head and the hammer pulled. You think it's fine to type out encouraging remarks?

If you don't have a problem with either in the sense of "total liberty" then this discussion can't go anywhere. But if you think the former is not okay but the latter is perfectly reasonable, and it is what a rational person should do in such a situation, then recognize that the person in the latter situation is held hostage by their own mental instability, and the attitude that anything goes when someone is having their own life held hostage reeks of ableism.

The marketing person listening to that would recognize it as satire. The joke is that it isn't said like a joke, people in the audience get shock value humor (which was bill's schtick) from thinking it through, and they catch themselves identifying with this weaselly marketing exec slumping in his chair thinking to himself "I'll fuckin' do it!" But since there was no specific person in mind when he said that, just a stereotypical placeholder, of course he wouldn't be held accountable for any resulting suicides. It's reasonable to expect that when attending a stand-up act, offensive satire might be used, even in your direction, and to put your big boy pants and suit on and suck up anything leveled your way. But when an individual claims anywhere that they are depressed and plan on killing themselves, common sense says "Maybe I should leave this fucker alone or else he might just do that." Egging a person on to their demise isn't satire or humorous. It's just fucking sad and pathetic.

So as soon as he turns his deluded ire toward women, the whole aspect of him being mentally ill isn't a possible argument? Oh, because hating women is the sane thing to do! Carry on...

Ableist.

I think they are just made up to fit into our current concoction of equations.

Do you even understand the current set of equations?

In my opinion, our view of the Universe is simply wrong and the theories and equations need an overhaul.

See previous question.

but whether or not there is room for a deity in science.

What the hell does this even mean? What would a deity in science even look like, besides nonsensical and non-explanatory?

It didn't even make a dent in my agnosticism, nor did the nuns try to tear that down.

You mean 'agnostic atheism' or 'agnostic theism'?

Do I REALLY need to explain the meaning behind what I said? Of course I would, but you dipshit mods likely wouldn't understand anyway. Off-topic my ass.

Presuppositions all up in my cereal this morning. Pale, stale, fluffy, bloated, unnecessary presuppositions...
