Serious / Re: [Psykana] Hyperbole and a Half - Depression
« on: September 22, 2014, 09:43:55 AM »
Yeah I don't get it. Unless it's some sort of mental disease and changes the balance of chemicals and doesn't allow you to feel certain feelings or any at all, seems like a bunch of babies.

Because I've lived through a lot of shit, and I've never felt like that. I just don't understand it.
Depression affects some people more than others and in different ways.

It's incredibly surprising I got depression, and yet it was different to the way most people seem to experience it.

Basically, I think there is some sort of neurochemical imbalance which can make people more or less prone to it.

Serious / Re: Do you hold your ideological and practical views separate?
« on: September 22, 2014, 09:39:26 AM »
Yes.

Despite being something of a conservative, I still have quite radical views on a lot of things (such as the abolition of prisons). I try to channel these into practical and gradual considerations (such as a the decriminalisation of victimless offences).

Although, some radical principles which have stuck with me (socialism, to a degree,) I keep more separate.

Orally.

Typing as you think can be really quite unclear. That being said, if I face a challenging question, I usually take a bit of time to think about it.

Serious / Re: Why do you hold the political/social views that you do?
« on: September 22, 2014, 01:49:35 AM »
I'm fairly neutral when it comes to a lot of social issues, which is exactly how the government should be.

Although, that's not to say neutrality doesn't come with its principles. I think a strong judicial system from the government, along with healthy respect for the government from the citizenry, are the two most important points of relation between the public and the State.

While I've noticed myself becoming somewhat more conservative socially, it's actually led me down some rather radical paths. I'm disgusted by the conservatives who advocate for a tougher war on drugs (or a tougher anything really), since it seems altogether hypocritical to be sceptical of government and yet eager to use it.

I suppose I follow the "British tradition" of classical liberals, who emphasise respect for tradition and empiricism. Essentially, the two main points of my social views come down to gradualism, and whether or not it works.

Probably a bit of a ramble, but oh well.

No, animal testing should be limited to scientific and medicinal purposes. Non-essentially testing should be via human volunteers.

Yes. The intellectual, moral and emotionally capacity of humans far outweigh that of animals. Although, the great apes and dolphins should be afforded the rights of personhood on account of their extraordinary intelligence.

No. The question of animal rights being as important as human rights is a subjective, moral question but must ultimately fall to jurisprudence. A society cannot properly function is people are, on the whole, not considered more important than animals.

If you two don't finish your petty little argument in a PM I'm going to ban both of you.
He blocked my PMs.

I'm also not even arguing with him, I just want to know what exactly his problem is with me. But whatever, I don't give enough of a fuck to get banned over it.

Are you honestly this butthurt?

You must pull that stick out of your ass and stop taking everything so personally. It genuinely is a problem.

Says the guy that called me a fucking moron.
And you flew off the handle at me, assumed I don't care about animals and called me a fucking dolt because I was defending the rights of a mentally ill woman.

I really don't know what your problem is with me. Everything you accuse me of you're also guilty of to at least an equal, or usually greater, extent.

I don't want this to be a thread which turns into a shitstorm, and if a mod wants to lock it then fine, but Deci has blocked my PMs.

Basically, in a Srs thread, Deci was calling for the collective action of males against violence towards women. Far enough, I challenged him and then for some reason he brought up an instance a year ago where I called him a horrible person for saying a mentally ill woman should be executed for killing a kitten.

The thread got derailed and locked. Now, Deci is just posting in response to me this video essentially expressing the fact that he isn't sorry and doesn't give a fuck, even going insofar as to PM me and then block my PMs afterwards.

I'm here to ask him to take a step back, look at what he's wasting his time doing and respectfully asking him to stop.

Serious / Are mentally ill people morally responsible?
« on: September 21, 2014, 08:18:40 PM »
Let's assume that a psychotic depressive woman is suffering from a psychotic break and, in her delusion, microwaves a kitten.

A tragedy, of course, but is she morally culpable.

Spoiler
No, of course she fucking isn't.

Although, I actually want this to be a serious-enough off-shoot of the moral responsibilities of mentally ill people in general. From paranoids to (if you consider them ill) psychopaths.

I'm calling it. You're a dense motherfucker if you allow a psychopath to live. Don't come crying to me if you ever get attacked by one someday, because I won't even be there to say "SEE? I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!"

And if the dog is really fucked up beyond help, what choice do you have?
First of all, not all psychopaths are violent.

Second of all, the woman wasn't a psychopath.

Here's the thing. That mental woman that microwaved a woman, yeah. I'd say put her to sleep so she won't harm another animal or a human being. That makes me a horrible person?
You called for her execution. A punishment for somebody who cannot properly be considered in control of herself. She microwaved a kitten while in a psychotic break.

Quote
You don't even have respect for fucking animals you dolt.
Yes I do. I don't know on what charge you can call me uncivil when you're calling me a fucking dolt alongside false claims. I have a pet cat and a pet dog, of which I very much enjoy the company and affection of. Would I want somebody to be punished if they were harmed or killed? Yes, obviously, provided they were morally culpable for their actions.

Quote
and you're even worse for defending a fucking psycho that murdered a kitten that did NOTHING to her.

She was psychotic, not a psychopath. She literally did not know what she was doing. I've had depression, and I know that's bad enough without having to suffer from psychosis on top of it.

Quote
Because it's NOT JUST A FUCKING CAT!
What's the matter with you? Calm down. That person wasn't just a "psycho" or a bitch who killed a defenseless kitten. She was a person unfortunately afflicted with a very serious mental illness, who could not, in any way, have been responsible for her actions at the time. It's a tragedy that the kitten died, it really is, but it's an even greater tragedy that this woman wasn't properly serviced in the way she could've been.

I'm seriously questioning your moral capacity considering you call her a "mentally ill fucktard". It's as if you lack the capacity to understand the meaning of the term "mental illness", let alone "psychosis".

I think you need to go to bed because you have school tomorrow and sleep deprivation fucks you over.
No, I'm fine. I only usually get four hours' sleep a night.

So, go ahead. I'm still waiting for you to point out where I said science is funded primarily by savings.
I disengaged from serious discussion when I called you angsty. I mean the whole thread you sort of missed the point that I was advocating capitalism, yet you still argued with me over the whole thing.
I got that you were suddenly sympathetic to capitalism, my annoyance lies in your repeated asking of questions which I had answered simply. I wasn't arguing with you. I answered your query as I understood it and you kept questioning me.

Would massive redistribution of wealth hurt scientific advances? That was your question, essentially, was it not?

Okay. I just attempted to be civil with you. It didn't work. I'll just leave this here because it is the only thing your simple mind will ever understand:
You didn't attempt to be civil with me at all, you arrogant fuck. I challenged your wild, hare-brained assumptions and you just immediately brought up the one time I called you horrible FOR SAYING SOMEBODY WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS SHOULD BE EXECUTED.

How are you this dense?

I wasn't even vaguely uncivil with you, either. It seems your only problem is that you couldn't properly answer for your claims.
