The Flood / People who are going to fight over pity deserve none themselves« on: January 10, 2015, 10:07:14 AM »
You've tried to make me look like the bad guy by saying I don't care about a fellow user who was going to go homeless. And they were absolutely right, I didn't care. That guy was a complete asshat. But now look at things: a user is now dying. And the people who defended the homeless one are now unleashing their wrath upon the dying one. Why do they do this? Oh, because he was an asshat to them.
Do you see what's going on here. You have no moral high ground. You were only ever looking after yourselves the whole time. You are not good people for defending someone who was going homeless, you are selfish people hoping on circle jerk train and completely abandoning your morality when Ktan shared his story. You guys know who you are, and you now know that you're miserable, despicable people. You're welcome. 213
Serious / Why did we evolve to have morality?« on: January 09, 2015, 08:45:40 AM »
I'm honestly under the impression that our species is going to die out and be replaced by another intelligent species. I really just don't see how morality is at all evolutionary beneficial. A Darwinist society would inevitably rise up and defeat a moral society for the simple reason that their power is not restrained by morality and ethics.
Am I right in saying this or am I looking at morality wrong? Animals of the same social groups have ethical codes too. They'll hunt together, share their food together, not kill each other. Their morality lies in keeping their 'society' alive. So if animal morality is any bit parallel to human, then our morality is exactly that: keeping society alive. And as we become more and more reliant upon each other and more and more globalized, our entire species becomes morally connected. I honestly think this is a much better explanation for morality than what I thought prior, that morality is merely idealism born from our emotions. 214

Serious / Ten policies I would immediately enact if I had the power« on: January 09, 2015, 04:17:00 AM »
1. Child collectivism
2. Increase domestic and international spying efforts 3. End democracy 4. Hand out free anti-depressant drugs to political enemies 5. Ban the discussion of politics from news outlets (the public can be educated on what's happening in the world but NOT in a dogmatic zealous fashion) 6. Make efforts to allow the free market to flourish 7. Go to war with North Korea 8. Within the government facilities housing the millions of children, those who cannot keep up will be ejected from the system 9. Legalize marijuana and give free samples to those on the NSA watch list to get them to chill out 10. All buildings are required to have solar panel roofs What would your list look like? 216

Gaming / I'm legitimately convinced Microsoft doesn't want me watching Halo Nightfall« on: January 09, 2015, 12:44:13 AM »
oh fucking god
So I start by searching for it on the Internet but the only versions I can find are extremely low quality. The only alternative was to watch it from Microshit's service. And I just knew they were going to make things as difficult as possible. So I go there and I'm not surprised to see that they want me to download shitty Windows 8.1. I just say fuck it and go through with it hoping it doesn't fuck up my computer too bad. So I allow my computer to do that for two hours and when I finally come back it then tells me to download some stupid Halo Channel App. That becomes a pain in the ass because it doesn't let me sign in on the account I want, it forced me to create a new Xbox Live profile which is just a long and tedious process. And once I finally have everything downloaded, I click the link to bring me to the first Nightfall episode and, who would have thought, it doesn't work. And that was it. It doesn't even tell me why it won't play, it just says to go fuck yourself. I checked to see if I could play some stupid Red vs Blue episode and that worked. But every single Nightfall episode that I tried to play would run for two seconds and then shut down. *sigh* I'm not even mad right now I'm just extremely let down over all this bullshit. I knew they were going to make things hard, but I didn't know they would have me go this far just to fuck me over at the last second. Fuck you Microshit, fuck you. 219
The Flood / Government uses chemicals to create homosexuals?« on: January 08, 2015, 11:10:45 PM »YouTube Could be possible. I'm only concerned about how it's even possible to use chemicals to turn someone gay. I guess it'd be easier to hide in the food and water supply that way though. I remain skeptical but the theory does seem a tad bit prevailing. 220

Septagon / I have an idea on pinned threads« on: January 07, 2015, 02:27:14 PM »
This might not be possible but what if there was an ability for everyone to have their own personal pinned threads, threads you could pin yourself and it would only show up as pinned on your screen. I think that might be a good solution for people who want to keep threads up for themselves (would be really useful for the UN games especially).

The Flood / Working on a project and need help [writing and humor needed]« on: January 07, 2015, 02:32:22 AM »
I don't want to say exactly what it is but it has to do with the forum. I'm looking for a small group of people who'd be willing to help work on it. The best eight people who post ITT who are interested will get forwarded a group PM on what exactly the hell I'm talking about. Thread closes at 10PM EST.

Septagon / What site features should we remove next?« on: January 06, 2015, 08:03:44 PM »
I'm all for removing the quote button. I see no reason why we need to keep it. If you want to quote a post you can just copy and paste it and put the formatting around it, it's not hard at all.
"It's convenient" doesn't count as a reason for why we need to keep it. And if no one can come up with a good reason then it ought to be removed. 230

...that there were only two genders. Is this what we've finally come to? Is it now an irrational position to use science to support your arguments? Well it might just be if fucking someone doesn't permanently DDoS Tumblr and kill the cancer at its black heart. I mean we've only been waiting how long for them to do it?

Serious / Does rape culture actually exist?« on: January 06, 2015, 01:25:42 AM »
Or have feminists just redefined the term to mean any kind of discomfort to a woman?
I don't think I have ever talked to someone who legitimately thought rape was okay, so why these people are trying to say the whole of society doesn't care, or even endorses it, is just grasping at straws. Though feminism in general is just that: grasping at straws. I don't take the feminism class they offer here at UConn, but some of my friends do and they're literally taught how magazine covers that portray racy photos of women represents rape culture. You read that right: looking at photos of half-naked, consenting women is now considered rape by feminists, and it's all our fault because the women in the magazine covers are just victims of society's demands. There are certainly some immoral things you can argue that society as a whole doesn't care too much about, but rape just isn't one of them. 233

Serious / What exactly are the main economic schools?« on: January 05, 2015, 04:54:43 PM »
If I look up this question on Wikipedia I get this giant list of terms most of which I'm not even vaguely familiar with (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schools_of_economic_thought).
So can anyone *cough cough* help answer a few of my questions on this list? 1. What exactly are the main economic schools within the US/UK? In other words, can you narrow down that list to something more relevant for us? It also might be helpful if you say how liberal or conservative the school is. 2. Do those schools contradict each other or do they explain different aspects of economics and society? And when they do contradict, is there any particular reason why (be that difference in morals or different logical deductions)? I'll have more questions whence come more answers (did I use that word right or am I being an idiot?). 235

Serious / What is the distinction between ethics and emotions?« on: January 05, 2015, 03:32:15 PM »
I generally dismiss arguments if I think the rationale is emotional. For example people don't like the NSA because they feel their privacy is violated. To me that's an emotional argument so I promptly dismiss it. But now I'm not so sure if that's the right way to go about it, because ethics and emotions seem to be closely intertwined. Would it be right to say that ethics are derived from one's emotions? And ethics are just ideals, virtues, that give life some kind of meaning and guidance.
If anyone wants to define ethics and state its relationship to emotions I'd definitely appreciate it. Also Meta, I still have more questions on objective morality, but I'm not as smart as you are and my brain needs to take breaks more often. Just letting you know I've got some more questions. 237
