I thought you were going to try being a better poster? Using that kind of language against someone because of political differences sure makes it seem like you have not changed

yea, maybe you're right.

I'll delete it.

The random racist person somewhere threads as well

You think my thread was a "random crime thread"? 60 kids from inner city Philadelphia thought it would be a fun after-school activity to raid a local Walgreens. That kind of behavior doesn't fall out of the sky. People like @Jack V Savage advocate pouring more federal government money into these areas to try to prevent this kind of problem among others. In reality, this is a highly inefficient band-aid approach. The raid wouldn't have happened if the kids had come from intact families with good values. Culture dominates policy in this arena. That's the point.

Do you think I somehow excluded Sherdog in my comment about how anonymous online comments can show the absolute worst of society?

We're no 4chan /b (thanks to mods), but there's been some pretty dispicable stuff around here as well. What's sad and scary is that sherdog is probably an 8/10 on the not shitheads scale of anonymous online forums.

I've went on a few pbp threads for the UFC on the sports board on 4chan, definitely a whole different ball game. I remember following the pbp thread when Gus got KOed by Rumble in Stockholm, resulted in a deluge of interracial cuck jokes many of which would at least get you carded here.

Such as?

Blatant racism the most common. Calls of death for all Muslims. One of the very few times I've ever hit the report button was for someone sharing party gifs and Queen's "another bites the dust" on a story about a cop shot and killed.

LOL

Although this brings up the obvious paradox that even very smart people keep falling for, that if the truth is that the universe is deterministic then we wouldn't have control over our moral systems and thus the decision to hold people accountable is not in our control, either. It's an astonishingly simple error but very instructive, that we keep refueling our illusion of control at every refutation.

Control is the story your mind invents after synapses do whatever the hell they want with your body and then let you imagine it was your decision. Evil little fuckers.

the worst is when someone has been irrefutably demonstrated to have been mistaken, incorrect, or maintained a faulty position on a matter...rather than doing a mea culpa, they LASH OUT like a cornered rat.

And then they get so mad they try and dox multiple posters. <45>

Dude. You have an obsession. It is not healthy.

Ok, so assuming that is true, I’m genuinely interested in what kinds of government policies might help alleviate this situation. How can you legislate that families stay intact? Media censorship of the “offensive culture?”

I think mentor programs might be helpful. What else?

I'm not the one who tried to dox multiple posters on a karate forum.

I think this probably triggers me the most...

I don't know how any one can take satisfaction in a police officer's death.

I vaguely remember that guy. wasn't he incredibly anti-Semitic as well?

I feel like I'm missing the back story here.

No, but you follow him around and bring it up constantly

Thanks, guy who quoted me first and not the other way around.

So do you guys have this same problem?


I was watching Chernobyl the other day (fantastic mini-series btw).

I was able to stomach and see people die from horrific radiation poisoning, vomit on themselves, melt away...

however, I had to stop watching (for a bit) when the soldiers were ordered to kill the stray dogs lingering around in the villages and towns because they were radioactive.

I think it’s a vulnerability type thing. People get far more outraged at seeing violence against a woman or a child. The same applies to an animal that we befriend.

 

[Sycho Sid]

I literally have no issues watching animals "die" in tv or movies.
