  1. "I will do whatever I can to motivate my followers to vote against Trump because Trump is the worst" is, technically, a principle.
  2. Only those who prosper may judge what is sane.
  3. I think my total unfamiliarity with '80s high school movies has just saved me from severe SAN loss.
  4. It's not. The forum has one rule against harassment ("personal attacks that are intended to cause unwanted attention, embarrassment, or harm will not be tolerated") which has the clarity of a mud sandwich and is practically unenforceable anyway (how do you tell what a post was intended to do?). Nothing about bullying here The... cool cheerleaders bully the nerd with... D&D metaphors? I think you may have your labels switched there.
  5. c'mon KP, we all know it requires a special brand of idiot to stoop so low as to consistently refer to people they don't like by childish nicknames
  6. Poor WoD, always being cruelly and unfairly bullied by the world's smallest mob. Such sorrowful existence!
  7. So - to borrow D&D terminology - a level-appropriate encounter, basically.
  8. You forgot 'Christianity'.
  9. It's rooted down to basic biology. At the most base level, women are birth and life and men are war. Spoken like someone who hadn't had a biology class since high school. Spoken like a petty woman. Do you, or do you not have a background in biology beyond a basic high school education?
  10. It's rooted down to basic biology. At the most base level, women are birth and life and men are war. Spoken like someone who hadn't had a biology class since high school.
  11. we could always discuss transgender bathrooms I guess
  12. I see no inherent contradiction between "he is stupid" and "he knows how to play people in order to get his way through".
  13. There are many different kinds of intelligence; consequently, there are also many different kinds of stupidity.
  14. Top of his class, everybody!
  15. you belong in a more serious conversation
  16. "This is a loaded term, and not really applicable to the situation anyway, so how about not using it" is two arguments, technically. The fact that you don't find the first argument convincing (or, for that matter, find it to be counter-factual) doesn't make the argument disappear, but questions of whether it's flawed or not are orthogonal to the issue of whether it was the sole argument in favor of not using the term
  17. 'was an expression used' Seems you missed an important word.. and the article also points out how it was most often used in regards to sexual assault. so... "but it's certainly not an expression appropriate for this situation." Seems you missed an important statement as he is directly applying it in his lecture to Sharp_one. So... I think the gist of his argument was that - as Rosbjerg pointed out - there really are no victims here, at least not in sense victimology uses the term, so "victim blaming" makes no sense even if we ignore concerns of appropriateness or lack thereof.
  18. But of course Sharpie wears his ignorance and unwillingness to treat people with respect as a badge of honor, so it's certainly appropriate to the speaker.
  19. Out of billions of humans, I'm sure it's your genome they would be after...
  20. I'd say if people are gullible enough to take Breitbart at face value, that's on them and has nothing to do with "the mainstream media" or "the left".
  21. Just like Brexit couldn't have happened and Trump couldn't have become president, right?
