| Topic | Under HW Bush, America blew up an Iranian civilian airplane,and he said this. |
| ssjevot 12/02/18 8:12:14 AM #62 | Sativa_Rose posted... ssjevot posted...For the record I don't care which of them could or couldn't be convicted as war criminals because they're all people who actively worked to make the world a worse place for the benefit the US and did not care about who had to be harmed to do it. I pointed that out in my own post, so why do you think I didn't know that? His policies, including those in Kuwait which he originally was not interested in doing anything about until convinced by the UK, were all based around advancing American interests. This is typical of most heads of states in most countries, but this is the attitude that leads to policies that actively harm countless people all over the world. Just ask yourself if the legal enviroment in the US was the same as other countries how much of our lifestyle would even be possible? We live our lives by exploiting the legal environments of other countries that we ourselves would not tolerate at home. But again at no point in any of my posts have I said the Gulf War was unjustified and pointed out how it was less deserving of being called a war crime than many things Obama did. So if you want to justify the Gulf War more please argue with one of the many people in this topic calling him a war criminal for it instead. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 12/01/18 11:43:45 PM #60 | Sativa_Rose posted... ssjevot posted...Obama's actions in Libya, Syria, and most of the Middle East are far more worthy of being considered war crimes You never convinced me any of those are less worthy of being considered war crimes than the Golf War. I never claimed any of them were. This topic is predicated on claiming people are war criminals not actual people convincted of war crimes. You can claim anyone or anything is a war criminal (which many do because they disagree with something as you point out). My point is that HW Bush didn't really do things that could be considered war crime level in the Gulf War that weren't matched or exceeded by Obama. The premise HW Bush was a war criminal and Obama wasn't is what the post I responded to proposed. For the record I don't care which of them could or couldn't be convicted as war criminals because they're all people who actively worked to make the world a worse place for the benefit the US and did not care about who had to be harmed to do it. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| Topic | Why is it that when non-whites "race mix" its usually with whites? |
| ssjevot 11/30/18 6:51:03 AM #92 | EliteC posted... Some of the concept of race is biological: there are 3 main races, white, black and Asian. No. You are conflating a continuum of genetic variation with the social construct of race. Genes vary across and within populations. That's biology. The categories of race are entirely social constructs. There is no biological relevance to it. You can group clusters of genes together that many people in a geographic area have and call it a race but it's arbitrary. There is relevance to certain gene clusters, especially for medicine, but again it's the genes that matter, not the race. In the US race is almost exclusively used to refer to cultural groups. Which is why African immigrants often aren't considered black. And why someone could say act "white" when obviously you can't act a set of genetic traits. These things are all derived from culture. Skin color is just often a prominent feature of a cultural group in the US. But as you can see from people saying things like Clinton was the first black president, it is primarily culture, not genes in the US that we associate with a racial group. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

They didn't need one prior to the war. A lot of Jews are leaving for Israel due to rising anti-Semitism globally. The thing that people thought they needed a country for after the war due to the Holocaust being the end result of rampant anti-Semitism (though many, many other similar things happened in other countries throughout history just on a much smaller scale). Seems disingenuous to act like there was no reason to make Israel or for it to exist.

Why people in this topic act as if both groups haven't done incredibly horrible things to each other is beyond me, it's probably why issues surrounding Israel and Palestine can't be talked about since one side is sugar coated and the other side is demonized I think people naturally want to take sides and frame things as black and white.

I actually think context can help strengthen your narrative. That said JP is just awful whether he is claiming to be a scientist or a philosopher. If he is a scientist he is making far reaching claims the evidence doesn't support as strongly as he claims, sand sometimes he makes logical leaps that are just not acceptable to do in science. As a philosopher he employs a lot of logical phallacies in his arguments, so it's just hard to think highly of him either way. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

That we would categorize people as one gender or another based on what their brain looks like would by its very definition be a social construct. This is especially problematic because you are giving two categories to a continuous variable. Brains vary such that you will have a number of people right on the border of wherever your arbitrary cutoff is. It is also extremely reductionist because you are ignoring all the different sources of variation and reducing it down to one overall variance ignoring the potential roles individual area differences may or may not play in gendered behavior. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

Many different disorders or similar disorders with different causes can be helped by the same treatments. There really is no justifiable reason to refuse a treatment that evidence suggests works for individuals with a specific set of behavioral symptoms just because their brain scan didn't meet your criteria.

Two clients can have similar symptoms, but if scans reveal different biological mechanisms in play, we need to take that into account for optimal treatment. No one objects to using that as part of a treatment, though the way you are talking about it is a bit strange since there will never not be different biological mechanisms in play (the question is the degree of difference, how to interpret that, and how much we actually understand how they contribute to the end behavior).

Secondly, output of a system can be produced by many different ways, 1+4 = 5, but so does 7 - 2. Understanding the underlying biological mechanisms will lead to better more precise treatment. There is no way to use electrodes on human subjects outside epilepsy patients. PET is even more expensive and hard to get permission to do because of the radioactive isotopes involved. And yes fMRI is an extremely crude measure. I combine it with EEG at the same time to deal with issues in the temporal resolution, but it's nothing close to what you can do with electrodes and the data analysis is messy by requirement.

If you believe your brain gender is incorrect (i.e. many people who are currently trans), you can get that checked out through an eval and an exam that will do MRI (or w/e) and look at your brain and see if your brain doesn't match your physical sex, which does happen for some people, causing their emotional distress/confusion. If it's not matching, you can be relisted as MF or FM (where your brain is switched to one that you feel / the exam identifies as being valid). Yeah man you totally weren't trying to gatekeep who can be trans with fMRI. You might want to read your own posts in the future. And we have a current way to classify GD, it's using behavior.

Your entire premise is to use fMRI to gatekeep who can and can't be trans for no reason other than to justify your bigotry. There is zero reason to do it. No one in the field wants to do or would do what you are saying so the whole thing is idiotic. It's as dumb as using hippocampus activity to determine if depression is "legitimate" or whatever. You can't use a crude measure of brain activity to determine the legitimacy of complex behavior. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

Is there an alternative that you are suggesting? Try reading my post where I describe how neither EEG or fMRI can possibly tell you enough to diagnose such a complex behavior. I literally study color processing in the brain and we can't even figure that out in detail. What makes you think we can look at some scans (nevermind the immense cost) and diagnose something as complex as GD? --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

It was originally just for describing grammatical gender in language. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

| ssjevot 11/27/18 10:21:39 AM #23 | Fam_Fam posted... A reason why people have GD is because their brain does not match their body. Seriously, stop inserting your political agenda into this. Some people with GD have brains that look more similar to a typical brain of a biological female than a biological male in some regions. This is not a diagnostic criteria nor should it ever be. Brains vary dramatically in many ways and fMRI and EEG do not capture much of that variation. It's obvious your entire goal is to justify bigotry against trans people, and attempting to pretend you know more about the science than the people who actually do it isn't helping. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |

It would recognize that this IS a legitimate issue that people have, and would allow people to be identified properly. Please check the DSM entry for gender dysphoria. There is nothing about brain and body mismatch. Stop trying to redefine medical categories to suit your political agenda. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss |
