C0LDFusion's Journal: "Your IQ must be this high to debate ColdFusion"

The following groups are now on my shit list:

1) Fascists
2) Anarchists
3) Socialists
4) Communists
5) Marxists
6) Anyone anti-Corporation simply because corporations have money and they don't.
7) People who look at about 5 fraud-ridden companies and conclude that the entire private sector (composed of several million companies) is corrupt.
8) Anyone who actually believes that taxes against non-individuals are not REALLY paid by individuals (either employees of a company or customers of a business).

I now refuse to debate anyone of these ideological groups in politics or the economy.

I call this the "Your IQ Must Be This High to Debate ColdFusion" system.

I call it this because I've simply determined that debating with these people with logic is impossible. Why is it impossible? Because they have a totally separate reality. They lack concepts in their mind that are required for intellegent discussions. Like the concept of ownership. If a person believes that no one really owns anything and everything belongs to the state, you can't discuss economy in the context of who owns what.

I invite any of the above listed to tell me why (I double-checked. Comments are Enabled.) their group IS capable of debating logically. Maybe I got your group wrong, and your philosophical point-of-view doesn't directly clash with reality.

The Anarcho-Socialists

Those guys are the ones that really get me the most. They seem drawn to Slashdot, probably due to the GPL.

Of course. They are in for the "Free Beer", no doubt.

Wow dude

Just read your journal. Are you sombeody I know? It seems to me like you'd fit right into our social group right here at RIT. I'm totally with you on the IQ must be this high to argue. There are people here that argue for creationism of all things! Can you believe that? Of course, if you asked my friends I'd be the guy that you can't argue with. It's not because I'm in one of those groups on your list. It's more because I'm selective about which scientific theories and laws I accept as truth.
Oh yeah, I hate anime con ravers too. Otakon dances were 0wnzed by them, but we (http://www.rit.edu/~ritanime) might be doing to music at Anime Central, if you want quality you should head there.

If you were at Katsucon this past February, you may have met me. Were you there?

Through chatting with tons of Anime con staffers, I've learned what the deal is with the ravers.

I'll go into more detail on a journal follow-up, but basically, it's been a gradual evolution over the past 3 years for most conventions, where ravers locate which conventions are in town in their city. And it's not just Anime, it's in many other entertainment conventions (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.). What they do is buy a One- or Two-day pass for the day(s) con dances are on and they get the chance to dance in an environment that is usually accepting of weirdness (especially Furry cons and Anime cons), and don't feature many patrols checking for drug use (talked to some ravers this past year, it's becoming a problem in "rave" clubs where they get "harassed" by security making sure drugs aren't being used. I think it's a BS reason to fux0r our dances).

Tell me if you're going to Anime Mid-Atlantic, and I can roll out some stuff for it. I have good fun with "Taco Nights" (just one of many fun things I do at cons).

I'm invoking the system for you, for more than one reason. Here are my reasons:

1) You're apparently Pro-Marxist I've given my reason for not debating you guys.
2) You're an Anon Coward There's a reason I generally surf at a Threshold of 1. It filters you guys out.
3) You use "Franglish". The use of "ou" in words like "labor" to make them "labour" is relatively new to the English language and is generally inspired by a national identity crisis of countries that speak English, but wish they were French, something I just don't understand.

You also made some nice assumptions. Like that I'm a "rightist". If I haven't made it clear, I'm a libertarian that is overly pissed off by Anti-American lefties hijacking valid reasons for political positions to use for their Anarchist bullshit. It makes the rest of us out there who think the war in Iraq, or a specific government plan, or what else is proposed...it pretty much makes us sound like we're dumbass anti-responsibility anarchists, or like French people who are simply trying to cover their economic asses with other people's reasons for being against the war.

But I'm glad. Because I'm pretty sure you were drawn here by my revised .sig, and I am happy to see it's working.
