  1. How come there isnt a;

    "Watson did not back up this assertion with scientific evidence, so no reasonable conclusion can be made due to the lack of empirical , peer reveiwed proof."

    He's a scientist after all, who gives a shit what the great unwashed think.


    Oh wait, this is a hapaboy thread......................:D

    He would represent the great unwashed, except he's not so great:D

  2. What would the equivalent to abuse of a loved one or a disabled person be in this context?

    On an anonymous forum like this we're all just virtual entities - what repercussions have we to fear from our decision to participate or not participate?

    Besides, ignorant morons are people too.. and they're part of the mix.

    i know what kind you are. why don't you just open up a
    little and tell what you think about blacks and jews and
    arians? you and yours alike have learned to walk the thin
    line that makes your point shine through without risking
    a real debate on your real thinkings. do i do you wrong?
    i doubt it. but if so, just tell me what you think on races.
    in your words, not quoting someone. just yourself. are
    your superior to other races? shall a black man be
    allowed to marry a white, blond girl?

    and no, english is not my first language. i guess i am still
    more literate than most of your mental colleagues.

    one of the main flaws people make in statistics is mixing
    up cause and effect. if you compare white and black
    population with the same income you will not find
    significant differences in violence. so when you state
    that black people are more violent you are somehow
    right, yet very misleading, since it is their social status
    that causes the violence and not their race. now that
    is quite an important distortion, intended or not, since
    we are talking about prejudice against a whole race.
    and sorry, from a certain level of intelligence people
    are responsible for keeping up such distortion in public.
    and i dare say that happens not due to chance but
    is result of a whole mind set.

    hm. point taken. i admit that the thread is going in a
    certain direction, yet has not landed in deep brown
    zone as of now. i smell the guys when they creep up.
    it is a certain use of language. carefully chosen words
    they use, since they got caught so often when they
    really said what they thought. and they learned how
    to stay in the shadow, playing guerilla tactics, using
    the free speech claim and some other rethoric tricks
    that makes the innocent reader not see what these
    people are actual heading for ...

    and, in addition, be careful with those who claim free
    speech for ideas that are against free speech. all the
    revisonists love free speech and will get rid of it as soon
    as they can afford to do so. have no illiusions about that.
    and do not let free speech get jeopardised by people
    who abuse it in order to destroy it. in a weird way free
    speech has to protect herself against too free speech.
    and be sure, these guys have a lot of fun with people
    that defend their abuse of a good idea ...

    compare it do democracy. certain parties do not qualify
    for democracy, namely those, that want to abolish this
    very system itself.

    i think in recent years people with a more open mindset
    have realised that the values of present society must
    bedefended at times. against people with very different
    mindsets.

    nevertheless, Stealth Trader does seem to be a guy
    who knows how to trade and i did not find a racist
    record. so maybe i am doing him wrong. could be.

    Stealth, we can leave it like that. i guess we both sense
    that the other one is not backing down. let us not waste
    each other's time. good trading.

  9. True, but it seems we're always on a slippery slope; if we manage to scramble back up the one we're on we start sliding down the other side. We're doomed to forever claw our way around on the icy roof of fate.

    Alas.

  10. If by parties you mean political parties I have to agree with you. Those who declare themselves enemies of democracy should not be allowed to compete for power; their organization into official parties should be forbidden by law.
