Well, given that you're attributing claims to me that I blatantly did not make (the bolded part), you possibly may. And since you used plural, it's kind of obvious that you meant Bruce and me (or possibly Bruce and a bunch of imaginary enemies lurking around who happen to believe the thing you accuse them of believing and also read this topic). The jab against my "vocabulary" is kind of funny in light of the level of reading comprehension you just demonstrated, though.

I have a hard time imagining any context in which calling someone a "fat disgusting pig" is a value-neutral statement of fact instead of the nasty ad hominem it is. And attacking a woman's looks instead of their viewpoints is fundamentally sexist. Arguably ad hominem? Yes. Fundamentally sexist? No. If you can't even understand why that'd be unequivocally and without a shade of doubt an ad hominem, I'm not gonna waste time on advanced concepts like "what's sexism".

Sandman was published by DC. As for political content, you'd be hard-pressed to find a much more left-leaning publication than Hellblazer. Granted, DC isn't continuing either now. Also relevant.

*shudder* ...Let's not ponder such terrifying prospects, especially after dark.

*checks watch* Shouldn't Volo be an evil sjw nazi who is EVIL by now, then? No? Aaaaany moment now...

Yet the two terms aren't interchangeable.

This is the downside of no level scaling, yes.

Tittoos?

The complaints about purple prose definitely ring super weird now.

You misspelled "having tentacle sex".

Does this invaluable pearl of wisdom also apply to women? Just as no man can have female friends, no woman can have male friends. The sooner we accept this fact, the better people will get along. Reasoning? Sexual dimorphism manifested through masculinity and femininity, which leads to friendship between sexes impossible to be at the same level as within. ...Because...?

No as my opinion on this is shaped by 20 years of mistakes, regrets and wisdom Sorry but if you are happy to let your wife sleep with someone else then your marriage is dysfunctional Again, you're repeating a values judgment without attaching a reason to it. Why is it dysfunctional to not care about the sex life of another person? Are you asking me why I think its wrong for a husband and wife to be fine with the wife sleeping with other men Obviously.

In the defense of the Pillars writing team, I think, in the long run, they aren't going for a story about finding out that gods aren't real; they're going for a story about what happens after. How does that revelation shape the world? Instead of being the dramatic climax of the story, it's just the beginning.

What strange mirror universe have you come from, and how can I get there?

Bruce, you do realize you're basically saying "I'd never do this because it's dysfunctional, and it's dysfunctional because I said so", right?

Not even close to being new. And it will never go away because there are more than a few politicians and pundits who depend on it. You misspelled "a lot of people feel the issue is relevant to and resonates with the reality of their daily lives" Unfortunately I believe too many of them only think that because they are told it is, not because their experiences show them it is. I don't know, if people were easy to influence, wouldn't you expect to see more libertarians around? (Not a dig against libertarians. More like... one would expect people to naturally gravitate towards what works best for them. You assume that being a libertarian is what results in the best quality of life for most people, therefore convincing people that being a libertarian is good for them should be easier than convincing them of being something else. Thus, if people were easy to convince, you'd expect them to convert to libertarianism in greater numbers and libertarians to retain more adherents than other philosophies.)

If obvious hyperbole wasn't obvious, the hypothetical self-interested white might even have a point. https://youtu.be/SYkbqzWVHZI?t=120

It makes sense as an elaborate piece of performance art intended to underline the fact that nobody should have to justify why their lives matter specifically (ie. why "All Lives Matter" as a reaction to "Black Lives Matter" is absolutely wrong-headed and tone-deaf). Is it an elaborate piece of performance art intended to yadda yadda? I'm not convinced. But it would make sense.

Vintage Mesh: "The problem with speech inciting genocide and racial hatred is that we don't have enough of it in the mainstream media! The solution is simple: we should give Nazis a voice! They've been oppressed for too long, I say!" ...and you didn't even watch video. Not once does he preach for genocide. Neither did I claim he did?

It's not like you can verify the falseness of that hypothesis, however. Shootings and bombings weren't a particularly favored pastime before the recession hit, AFAIK. Either it is true for all unemployed, downtrodden youth in all of Europe and we would see Greeks and Spaniards blowing **** up (http://www.statista.com/statistics/266228/youth-unemployment-rate-in-eu-countries/), which hasn't exactly happened, or we have to accept that the underlying problem is something more within the community itself instead. This is where the article fails, it just scratches the surface. Or maybe you're looking for an AND, not an OR clause, and the problem would be solved by having jobs.
