Shhh! If you let him in on the joke then it doesn't actually count as laughing behind his back!

I know. Laughing in someone's face is so much more fun!

Wait, did you just admit to admit to having an ideology that resulted from misunderstanding and misapplying the theory of evolution and which only enjoyed a brief stint of populatity among 19th century slave owners? Seriously?

He did. And as someone who argues for sport I'm grinning ear to ear.

No, I noticed and I agree with you.  I was just being a dick.  Plus I love referencing 19th century naval terminology in modern usage, I get a kick out of it.

This thread is like watching a wolf fighting a bunny.

[AmstradHero]

More like a wolf pack versus a bunny. Also, I think the bunny is now dead.

Anyone who pass high school statistics would cry when they see all these arguments that redefine the concept of 'average'.

Anyone who has any knowledge of 19th century English naval terminology would cry any time they see the term "second rate" being applied to something that was bad, incapable, or below par.

Definition doesn't make it true, it just makes it accepted.

So words mean whatever you want them to mean?  I usually never have to say this, because so rarely does it apply, but our views are therefore incompatible.  In my world, words have specific meanings.  They do so that we can choose from them precisely which ones express the ideas we want to convey.  If you can choose that pretension means what it doesn't, we have nothing more to discuss.

I'm going to assume you said Fascism? For some reason it was blocked out. Personally I'm not a Fascist, but I am pro eugenics. I think there should be an IQ requirement for voting, and you should have to pass a test on the nominees.

However I disagree with Fascism in that we should dislike the inferior. We should pity them, and do all in our power to raise them up. I'm quite fond of the concept that with great power comes great responsibility. However, we shouldn't lower ourselves to their level.

More like watching several wolves lead by their alpha wolf fighting a bunny.

So you're not a fascist, but you happen to embrace what is quite possibly the most reprehensible part of their ideology? 

This thread is soooo getting locked.  Sorry Sylvius.

Eugenics is and always has been a joke. There's no science behind it. It's like evo-psych; mostly a bunch of just so stories with no real data or theory to support it.

So you're a bit like Spiderman Hitler?

So, does this mean that Tony would find Jeff Koons' artwork inferior because of his inexplicable popularity with MANY rich art collectors, or would he find his work superior because MANY art critics hate it?

*** And yes, I'm being snarky. I also don't particularly like Jeff Koons' work (feel free to Google him).
*** EDIT: WOOPS - fixed wording.

Actually I was busy in another tab, then read the thread. I expected the hounds to pounce, but I am surprised it was so fast. When confronted with their inferiority, people get very, very, very defensive. The fact that so many are "laughing" only proves my point, and tells me I'm doing something right. 

I will say that of all the wolves you are the smartest, and you should be proud of that. Though, that's not necessarily good. The smartest idiot is still an idiot.

Yeah. Our bad. We shouldn't have encouraged him to keep speaking by granting his posts a response.

You've fundamentally misjudged the tone of the discussion.

I'm on the offensive.

You say reprehensible like it's a bad thing. A century ago interracial marriage would be reprehensible, and in Yemen children marrying adults isn't reprehensible. 

Just because society scorns something, or someone, does not make it or him wrong. Indeed, I've found that if society scorns something then it warrants further investigation into it's merits, as again, society is average.

You're just adorable. All big and insulting and stuff. It is just too cute.

The greatest defense is a good offense, and the opposite is true too. You're hostile, and that is the point.

And you aren't. You're too busy being right to be hostile.

This has nothing to do with anything.

This is a truism and also has nothing to do with anything.

Sense this makes not.
