Sky News is a pretty unbiased news outlet. BBC tends to lean slightly to the left when reporting news apparently.
Slightly?

It's one big Paul Krugman circlejerk.

I was debating whether or not to stick this here, or the Serious board, but I want a general over-view of how people think and the information they approach. This isn't a discussion about personal beliefs or the validity of such, just your willingness to approach sources which may disagree with you (so things like newspapers, forums, magazines, videos, anything).

So, do you keep to sources already within your sphere, or do you look around for more perspective?

There are three immediate examples which come to mind for me: the BBC, the Daily Telegraph and Stefan Molyneux.

Inflation, at rates of 2-3% is superior to anything higher or lower.

The Gold Standard is dead, and let it stay that way.

The Flood / Re: Do you have sympathy for fat people?
« on: July 31, 2014, 06:04:19 AM »
I'm overweight myself, but not ridiculously so.

Do I have sympathy for fat people to any degree? No. Do I expect sympathy? No. Should people not care and let me live my life how I want to? Yes.

A fat person obviously has a value system where they judge exercise to not be as valuable as eating that food. It might be foolish to you, but who cares? People can life their lives however they please.

Damn, that guys face on the second row got fucked up.
I'm not even sure what's supposed to be going on in that picture for it to even function as a shock image.
The middle bottom picture looks tasty, at least.

You do show it off, a lot.

Essentially you come off as a very superficial and two-dimensional person, without much of a personality. I don't know you, of course, so that might be an unfair analysis but it's the impression I get.


Because I was excited as hell. I'm sorry it's a dream come true lol. I'm not showing it off. This community has been a part of my life for almost 6 years, I've shared all the good and the bad. So I don't see nothing wrong with being like hey, my life has been going good and my dream came true, so come look at this. Sure, I see how it can be taken as showing off but idk how else to say it without coming across that way. Everyone always jumps to that conclusion. If you actually saw my replies and other threads around the forums I'm not a pretentious asshole
I haven't made that judgement from a single incident of you sharing your nice car. I've seen you post for quite a while, and it's always so hollow. Like the incident where you got a girl pregnant, and we had a debate over the difference between a morning-after pill and an abortion and you didn't really seem to take it seriously at all, stating the fact that you're a Catholic as something even vaguely important. And then there's your tendency to try and come off as the nice, helpful guy who's always around to listen and lend a hand.

I'm glad that you're happy your dream has come true, who wouldn't be? But why should other people also be happy or even care? If you think you can post about how much you love your car - which is essentially a statement of wealth - without social repercussions then what the hell are you doing on the Internet?

Because I'm against abortion lol. And I did take it seriously, I was literally freaking out at that point. I felt like shit for making her take the pill to begin with.

And sorry

And I was saying there's no meaningful difference between the two.

You don't need to be sorry, either. We're all allowed our perceptions of each other, and I could very well enjoy your company if I met you in real life. It's good that you've managed to make wealth, and can afford the finer luxuries of life; the point is merely that people will always get pissed off when it's brought up.

I much prefer talking politics/world news/religion over video games and such. If it's handled better in it's own section, I'm all for it. I'll probably be most active there.

Get that fucking stick out of your ass Dustin, I already told you I didn't impersonate you AT ALL.
There were screen shots of you admitting to it in some PM.
I've explained this at least once to you before, but I guess I'll need to explain it to you again. There was a single screenshot me PMing the impersonator where I said I felt like joining in, and then he told me to look at the havoc he'd wreaked in Destiny.

I didn't actually do anything - seriously, you need to get over it.

It sort of reminds me of the George Carlin bit where he talks about infinite rights vs no rights.
I love that bit. He was essentially spot on.

The Flood / Six reasons murder should be legalised
« on: July 30, 2014, 03:33:18 PM »
Quote
1. Some people, like O. J. Simpson, are able to find good enough lawyers to get them acquitted if they commit a murder. This is an economic injustice which needs to be rectified. So murder should be legalized so that everyone, rich or poor, can knock people off without being punished.


2. The illegality of murder means that people are depending on the government, instead of on themselves, to protect their lives. Such government dependence is a bad thing, and would be eliminated if murder were legalized.

3. The unborn, since Roe. V. Wade, can be murdered at will. But protecting the lives of people after they are born is birth discrimination. Therefore, murder should be legalized.

4. ?Thou shalt not kill? is a religious commandment, and to enforce it as law it to impose religion on the public. Since church and state should be separate, and the imposition of religion by government is unconstitutional, murder should be legalized.

5. Government?s protection of people?s lives, instead of letting those who allow themselves to be murdered to die, weakens the gene pool. So we should legalize murder and let natural selection do its job.

6. The anti-natalist philosopher David Benatar has argued that it is better for people if they were never born. Legalizing murder will allow people to improve the lives of the victims.

Reading that gave me fucking brain cancer.

I've suffered from an odd sort of dysphoria, which is about as close to depression as I'll ever get over the course of my life.
