Allow me to sum it up.

Our government is presently murdering people overseas in an offensive war while saying that we should trust them with our safety.

They're saying that we can't trust citizens with military weapons, while they go around murdering people with military weapons.

Muhammad's rifle seems to be pretty good at hanging in there against drone strikes.

Right I forgot about all those drones that were shot down by AK-47s.

The point is that they're still around.

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the people must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

This is actually a quote from Karl Marx.

*drone strikes*

Cletus' semi-auto rifle is definitely a good deterrent to drone strikes.

I guess maybe you guys somehow think because they chose foreigners this time that they view you any differently. Like they won't kill you at a moment's notice.

...I don't get how you think THOSE SAME PEOPLE should be in charge of your safety.

"You civilians..."

*shoots children*

"...cannot be trusted..."

*drone strikes*

"...with military weapons"

Bloodborne is not easy mode....

It was one of the best games I played in a while and didn't really feel like it dragged on

Also the DLC was godlike, I got it for $5 and was not disappointed at all. It definitely takes a while to get used to. I almost gave up after dying to the very first enemy in the game a bunch of times but glad I stuck with it

I didn't say it was a bad game. I just said it was easier than the other games.

Other games being Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3.

It is very forgiving in terms of damage received, your character reacts quicker than other games, health is instantaneous, stamina drain is super low compared to other games. You don't need to level up endurance at all.

I know this expressed views counter to my own here, but this is a great video regardless.

I actually worked at a rehab center for troubled teen girls. We did everything we could to help them.

It was an absolute failure, they all went back to their old habits the moment they got out.

Maybe it failed 'cuz you were working there?

I was doing my job according to the program given to me, and I did a great job following it.

Comparing to Europe is not fair because Europeans are genuinely better people than Americans...

(No it is not because of their policy. It is not the government's job to fix people, it is our job as citizens to fix ourselves)

Which we already know is a complete ineffective deterrent because historically even harsher punishments didn't deter criminals.

Then they get what is coming to them.

Zeus posted...

What you've described aren't "objectively bad people" but just "objectively guilty people." Guilty and bad aren't necessarily the same thing. Many criminals merely made really stupid mistakes and are capable of reform. Others are more habitual criminals who require far greater efforts to reform them.

Plus it's objectively bad to promote the use of torture as a form of punishment.

In this hypothetical situation, guilty and bad people are exactly the same thing.

Because everyone is capable of not doing bad things. Don't want to get tortured? Don't be a bad person. Simple as that.

It's funny, because this is the complete opposite of true.

The more prisons focus on rehabilitation, the lower their recidivism rate. This has been observed all across the world and the US is one of the worst at realizing exactly how much money they're wasting by clinging to the "punishment" model when there are much better alternatives available.

You're supposed to rehabilitate yourself. It's not the state's job to mommy you.

darkknight109 posted...

I also like how the TC apparently thinks that the only thing wrong with torture is that the courts aren't 100% accurate.

You know that's not why torture is considered unethical, right?

Why? They're bad people who cares?

Bloodborne IS easy mode.

It is the easiest game in the series.

Islam isn't a race, you ignorant peasant.

Arabs are.

I remember you clearly said you didn't like Arabs.

Most Muslims are not Arab FYI

we'd have people committing crime as a cry for help.

Why weren't you helping them in the first place?

Because I have better things to do.

Lil69Leo posted...

What would be the worth of doing this though? Just rehabilitate the ones you can and the obviously fucked in the head ones just put to death. I'm talking the serial rapists/murders.

Prisons are meant to be punishment, not rehab centers.

It is your responsibility not to end up in prison to begin with. If we turned our prisons into rehab then we'd have people committing crime as a cry for help.

human rights only apply to me and people I like

In this hypothetical situation, human rights don't apply to objectively bad people.

But let's not get into an "Is there such thing as objective morality?" nonsense please.

False convictions were 100% impossible, and it is somehow impossible to use the law unethically against ethical citizens. Every single prisoner in the system is a bad person.

In this case, would abusing and torturing prisoners still be unethical?

I don't date religgos.

This poor guy is terrified of religious people.

Nope. He just sees them for what they are and he doesn't like them.

*tipping intensifies*

I am surprised how many said no. Like, won't even give them a chance.

I think Sunny is really nice. Idk why so many people dislike him.

I'm more attracted to foreign women

Islam is a foreign identity? You can be Muslim and not from the Middle East...

By "foreign" he means "exotic"

To answer the thread, I am not opposed but she has to accept me for who I am exactly as I am. Same as anyone else.

Huh. Rarely see his posts. On rare occasion since I joined and possibly before. I just mean I didn't see anything suspend-worthy in it... Unless it was longer than the quote that remains. Though I can see that convo spiralling out of control if he hadn't been.

I quoted it exactly as it was. There was nothing suspend-worthy in there.

I always thought Janway was a woman...

So a dude advocating to enslave women, wonderful.

I was gonna criticize this topic but it got Janway suspended, so Im okay with it.

I swear it was not me who marked it. I am not so pathetic to mark people for disagreement.

Muslim women shouldn't be "dating" in the conventional western sense, much less dating non-Muslim men.

Well thankfully not all Muslims are like you.

Only the good ones are. Frankly the few Muslim women I've seen who have dated non-Muslims are the most miserable and slutty ones. Really applies to any Muslim woman who "dates" in the western sense.

Thankfully most Muslims are not like this and their values don't bend to the whims of liberals.

Yeah being sold is so much better than getting to know the person you're spending the rest of your life with.

I've discovered this as well.

When it's too cold, I play a video game.

InfestedAdam posted...

Religion tends to be the last thing on my mind when deciding if someone is date-worthy or not. I'd imagine at some point it'll come up if we start dating at which point it might affect future dates.

Islam is particularly contentious due to its tendency towards conservativism.

why

I make a thread addressed to literally everyone except one person, and you tag that person in.

It's certainly up there. I wouldn't say BEST song.

Let's assume on the offchance they're okay with you being you.

Would you be opposed to dating them?

So is the site actually shutting down now or are droves of people leaving?

People left in droves.

It's not shut down yet as far as we know.

Poor leadership and drama made it implode on itself.

I'd be mad. Not necessarily at not getting free money, but because I think it's the role of a parent to make their kids lives as easy as they can.

I'm fine with them not giving a kid anything while they're growing up and making their own way in the world, but once a parent dies that kid should already have that kind of work ethic/lifestyle instilled in them. If they don't, that just means you fucked up as a parent.

Off the topic, I think making your kid's life easy is a mistake.

Your parents are multi-billionaires. They love you, but they insisted you live a normal life so you don't have access to any of their wealth or connections. They raised you, fed you, kept a roof over your head until you were 18 but that's all.

Would you be upset if you were not included in their will, instead they are choosing to donate their fortune to charity?

freedom of speech only goes so far

nope

Seems like reviews are pretty decent

Since the fall of the USSR and the rise of capitalism around the world, world poverty has been in free fall.

Lokarin posted...

Communism is just the best word we have... what would be a better word for a totally decentralized economy focused on workforce independence and self-sufficiency?

The entire principle behind Communism is a centralized economy.

Zeus is right, what you refer to is Anarcho-Capitalism or some other flavor of Capitalism.

let's get one thing straight

Any sort of "moral" nonsense justifying war in Syria is 110% BS. The entire reason why we want to invade Syria is because Israel wants to keep the area unstable, and because Assad said no to the US putting down a pipeline that would bisect their country.

...would the Holocaust and other abuses of human rights on the German people be a good enough reason to invade Nazi Germany?

So...working for the government basically

No because they're making the country a better place.

I don't get it.
