  • There is no god (obligatory).
Except there is literally nothing factual about this and you're fucking retarded beyond belief if you believe this and try to instill this poisonous line of thought in others.
enjoy your schizophrenia

I've been to Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France. And the Vatican City, if you wanna count that.

Best time of my life.

Mary Jane, definitely. I'd prefer a short term, mild headache afterwards than vomiting for 14 hours.
I thought you could handle your liquor...
that's just what underage drinkers say

especially because 90% of them do it because it'll make them more gregarious, and therefore "cool"

admitting that you can't handle alcohol would be social suicide

Numerous psychology experiments actually proved that people do follow racial stereotypes at a subconscious level. Some people display more prejudice than others but essentially "Everyones a little bit racist."
precisely

38323
gender is staying though--definitely a social construct

do you think there's a rational reason why transfolk prefer certain pronouns over others?
there isn't--it's just psychology

38324
I don't believe that they are. I've never seen a person who wasn't a complete and utter retard claim that black people are faster because they're black. I've no doubt they believe that there is something about black people which makes them faster, as I described, but they don't assume that it is because of their skin colour.
welcome to america

i'll remove it from the list, i suppose, but this is the funny thing about this argument

what you're doing right now, essentially, is arguing for my point--that race is a social construct
because the point of contention is with the people who say correlation = causation

"they're black, so that must mean they're x, because they're black"
"they're jewish, so that must mean they're y, because they're jewish"
"they're chinese, so that must mean they're z, because they're chinese"

and while it's true that only retards may believe this, the human race is indeed comprised of retards, so
i don't really afford them much credit sometimes on these issues

but i'm just saying, denying that it's a social construct makes you sound exactly like those people
so... be careful?

38325
How come you guys hate on fat people so much?

Being skinny is just as bad as being fat.
who the fuck is talking about fat/skinny people

38326
I didn't say it was, but the claim that "black people run faster" is not a claim of causation in the first place.
you don't really believe that most people think in those terms, though, do you?

i would argue most people are making the causative claim
i don't have the numbers, but have you spoke to people about this?

38327
Black people, when aggregated, tend to be faster because of differences in bone density and limb length which shifts the centre of gravity.
what does that have to do with blackness

are dense bones and lengthy limbs an inherent black trait?
is correlation = causation?

i don't think so

if you put white men in the same environment as blacks have historically been for hundreds generations, i guarantee they'd evolve the same way

The value in your life is the amount of time you spent happy.
Fuck personal gratification.

38329
I don't really know what you mean, to be honest. Of course stereotypes and social prejudices can arise from objective and empirical realities.
while they can, they don't always

"black people run faster" is a baseless stereotype with no ground to stand on

you have to objectively show, through genetics, that there is a "black gene" that is exclusive to black people
that allows them to be more athletic

you aren't gonna be able to find it, because it doesn't exist

38330
Not being genetic =/= being socially constructed.
the point is that if it weren't a social construct, stereotypes such as "black men run faster" wouldn't exist

black kenyans aren't fast because they're black
they're fast because their ancestors had to have the right genetics to survive, and they passed them down

they just happened to be black, as a result of their environment

but it certainly doesn't mean that black = athletic
it's a social construct

38331
Also, race is not a social concept.
i agree--it's a social construct

there is nothing that would genetically identify you as "white" (that we've seen so far)

38332
Actually, define "intrinsic".
we're not contriving it
it's innate in reality
"suffering sucks"--it's written in stone

who wrote it? who cares
it happens, and it's the #1 reason why all actions take place in the universe, whether people realize that or not

that might be worth putting up there

38333
there is nothing intrinsically "male" or "female"--it's all in our heads
Can you name me a single thing which is intrinsic?
suffering

the sentient being's capacity to suffer is the only thing that has any intrinsic value

such that all other values are derived from it

it is the end value

38334
While everyone is scared of nukes - only US has used that weapon on civilians. Twice.
i don't think anyone denies that history

38335
however, i will put that gender (as opposed to sex) is a meaningless social construct
I take issue with that. The fact that something is socially constructed doesn't make it meaningless, and there is still evidence which suggests gender is at least partially innate.
it's a corollary to a previous truth statement made

99.99% of all notions of value are projections of value--not intrinsic value

there is nothing intrinsically "male" or "female"--it's all in our heads

38336
Everyone is born straight.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

no

however, i will put that gender (as opposed to sex) is a meaningless social construct
as is race

Good one.

Won't be adding it, but yeah. Fuck Dr. Who.

Religious organizations can be highly manipulative
Most Americans are highly influenced by propaganda
Mainstream American media is a terrible place to go for information
1. kinda goes in tandem with #1
2 & 3. most people aren't american

i see where you're coming from, and i agree with everything you said, but i don't think they quite belong on the ilst
