I take it that's why when he was to be put under arrest and brought to trial before the Galactic Senate he killed everyone in the room?

Literally one hit wonder the director.

I don't know if verbatim works as hulk

hulk is rage angry whereas verbatim is edgy angry

who here would classify as rage angry then?

That is different from person to person, and there are plenty of people who aren't religious who hate LGBT people and plenty of religious people who take no issue with it.
I met a vicar a couple of years ago who was perfectly happy to talk about boys with me.

I'd love for you to show me where I generalised all religious folk.

It's not just limited to religion either; people can be violent against something they really dislike.
A classic example would be homophobia or transphobia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bashing

Um, yes I'm aware.

This is bringing the discussion back to my original point though. Part of the reason homophobia exists is because of beliefs and stigmas that have been passed down from generation to generation, with a largely theological and religious backing to them might I add. Hence my original statement of "ideas are the biggest impetus of human behaviour"

Vegetarianism does not connote pacifism.

Extremist Jainism then.

You'd be really hard pressed to find a violent Jain considering how inherently pacifistic the religion actually is, especially the more extremist they get.

*coughs*

Islam is 1400 years old, and Islamic Extremism as we see now has existed for less than 30.

*coughs*

Um, what?

I think this article would like to have a word with you. Like I said, Islamic extremism wouldn't be a problem if the core beliefs were not inherently violent. Hell, the religion was basically founded by a warlord, and the Qu'ran is essentially the autobiography of his conquests.

Then why bring up economic conservatism?

I didn't bring up anything. Kupo made a generalisation on a specific ideology, I called him out for it, and now you're getting all pissy and defensive for reasons beyond me.

Quote

Well the way I'm seeing it is you assumed I'm against economic conservatism. I said "social conservatism is bad" and you responded with "well what about economic conservatism!? I bet you hate that don't you!?" How exactly do you want me to respond to that?

I said I'm a proponent for economic conservatism and how economic conservatism isn't necessarily bad. Then all of a sudden, you come up with totally unrelated points about how social conservatism r teh bad!!!11one. I said one thing and somehow you get all defensive and totally misinterpret my position. That's pretty much how it went.

What are you Dustbin?

>"he made a genuine criticism about me"
>"better call him dustbin ahahahahaha"

Quote

I didn't misunderstand you, and you didn't misunderstand me. You misunderstood Kupo, then went with the "both left and right are equally crazy" when left politicians are far more sane than right politicians in America. Then when I said its hyperbole, you keep sticking to your misunderstanding that he's being 100% serious and conservatism should be classified a mental disease. Instead of even arguing that point, though, you go on to say "BUT THE LEFT!" for some reason.

No, that isn't how it went. I criticised Kupo for perfectly valid reasons, then all of a sudden I'm getting notification left right and center from you going full liberal damage control. Are you trying to compensate for something or?

Quote

Sorry, but no. You don't get to come in here, misunderstand somebody, then make assumptions as well as derail the thread wand then act the victim and accuse me of being hostile and bringing up something irrelevant when YOU brought it up and made baseless accusations.

Pot, meet kettle.

He was just calling conservatives crazy and it was hyperbole. He wasn't making any generalization when the majority of conservatives are like this.

HAHAHAHAHA WOW. No, I was talking about how social conservatives are basically fascists, and YOU brought up economic conservatives when this entire thread is about socially conservative people. Don't want to talk about it? Make your own thread and discuss whatever the fuck you want to.

No, actually, you aren't making any valid criticisms about anybody here. Why you keep portraying me as a hysterical person spamming you with comments when I'm calmly responding to your posts with one post at a time is because you're trying to discredit what I'm saying by portraying me as some sort of crazy person. Isn't the first time either, and nobody's buying it. Read the thread, you can see I specifically said "social conservatives" then you went completely off topic about economic conservatives when we aren't discussing the economy. I know you struggle to keep up with even basic economic jargon in Meta's threads, but that doesn't mean you need to bring your ignorance in here and start talking about the economy in a thread that has nothing to with economic policies, conservative or liberal. In fact, there are Democrats who are in favor with conservative economics, because it has nothing to with Republicans or socially conservative policies or people. Again, stop derailing the thread.

The hypocrisy you're displaying right now, as well as how hard you're projecting really is getting sad. You spazzed out on Kupo who was exaggerating what he said and went for the bullshit "hurrdurr both sides are just as bad", and when I call you out on that and say there's nothing good about social conservatives anywhere on the planet, you literally say "well what about conservative economics?" What about it? We aren't discussing the economy here. At all. We're discussing people who would outlaw gay marriage and practically bring back slavery for black folks if they could. It has absolutely nothing to with the economy, so I'm left with the conclusion that you're trying to get brownie points with the few conservatives here for some reason, or you're really dense enough to I believe SJW's who hold no positions of power are as bad as batshit insane Republican Chrisitians who are actively trying to reduce the amount of equality in America.

Get back on the topic of social conservatives and discuss that or leave the thread and make your own about conservative economics. Because you're shitting up this one with your failed attempt at damage control when all anybody has to do is read brought the thread and see who started spazzing out and going off topic and making baseless assumptions.

Holy fuck, either you have a mental illness or you're the leftist equivalent of Kinder. I'm not sure if there is a difference actually.

The only person going off the rails here is you. Whatever it is you seem to think I'm saying about social conservatism isn't the case. Nobody mentioned it before you started spinning your little argument that had nothing to do with the fucking discussion at all. You came in like a fucking autist to a party that nobody wanted there.

"Yeah this is a stupid generalisation"

"NU UH WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL CONSERVATISM"

"What about it? Nobody is talking about that"

"HAHA WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE SO DENSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY POSITION AT ALL MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD HURR DURR"

What I was saying before you interjected, was that simply calling conservatism a mental illness is nothing short of a stupid generalisation that doesn't get us anywhere intellectually, then all of a sudden I'm getting strawman and false accusations put up left and right by you, to satisfy whatever stupid delusions you have of refuting this imaginary argument you've constructed in your mind. Nobody here is arguing with you. You have this really dangerous mentality of attacking positions which have nothing to do with what you're saying, or what the other person is saying.

Either you can't read properly, or you really do need to seek mental help. I'd suggest the latter just in case.

Idk if I can handle Mr Spock and Han Solo dying within the same week mang.

He's a strong case for conservatism as a mental illness.

Really?

Are we really going to go there?

Someone with his level of education and career should be above his beliefs given the factual evidence of which he should be aware by now.

It's almost like Rand Paul insinuating that vaccines cause autism. How can one even be qualified for their career if they perpetuate baseless objections inconsistent with the empirical findings of their own field?

Yeah so he's a retard then.

There is as much retarded liberals out there as there is retarded conservatives.

Sick rebuttal.

Fact of the matter is SJW's aren't politicians (thank gOD) but the majority of republicans are the Christian equivalent of the Taliban. 

https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/middle-ground

Yeah because Republicans encompass all conservatives right enough.

I'm aware they're are a fuckton of right wing jingos as much as anyone, but to suggest that conservatism is a "mental illness" reads like something from Jay's rhetoric. Lets not jump on the generalisation bandwagon, shall we?

I have yet to see where social conservatism has been good for humanity.

Obviously calling it a mental illness is hyperbole.

There is also a thing called economic conservatism, which in and of itself, isn't necessarily bad. In fact, I consider myself a proponent of it.

Yeah well, I'm sure if some random nutjob stabbed her kids in the name of "liberalism" and I came crashing into the thread demanding liberalism be categorised as a 'mental illness' I'm sure you'd find it affronting as well.

Oh boy, clap bait.

Here's the thing, I specifically said "social conservatism", because I don't disagree with economic conservatism.

Nah I'd just laugh at you for being a retard. Seeing how nobody has killed their kids in the name of "liberalism" let's cut the dumb analogies out of the picture and discuss the facts. We're talking about how social conservatives (see how I said social again?) are against equality. We're not talking about how some conservative nut job killed some random person and we're all in here attributing it to his conservatism. That'd be as stupid as saying someone's opinion on socially conservative people is biased and wrong and part of a circle jerk because they themselves have shown support for left wing policies and attributing that to them being fully in support of a certain left wing party.

Oh wait.

What the fuck are you talking about now?

Kupo jumped the gun and I called him out on it. My analogy was apt because I don't see how calling conservativism a 'mental illness' is any different than calling Obama the antichrist. It's just naked propagandism and the whole reason we have such a divisive left/right dichotomy in the western world that doesn't get us anywhere.

Simmer down. Nobody is even saying whatever it is you seem to think they're saying.

I'm not simmering brody, it's just funny to me you can't understand it was hyperbole then you make some bullshit analogy when nobody said anything even remotely similar to it.

There's nothing good about social conservatism and that's a fact. I'm not saying we should go to the extreme of "oh beheading is part of their culture", but social conservatism is no good. I never said anything about economic conservatism because we aren't talking about the economy here at all. Don't go off topic.

Yeah sure hyperbole. Whatever you say.

It's not me that's going off topic here. All I did was challenge Kupo's point then all of a sudden you come barging into the thread getting all histrionic and defensive with me, bringing up these obsolete points about social conservatism that was never relevant or stated in the first place. But yeah okay, it's me that's derailing this thread.

Atmospherically it's a great film, but it has a few plot and pacing issues. Decent start to the series no doubt, but I personally prefer Aliens.

Fuck man, when did Britain become such a pussified culture.

Probably around the time they lost most of their guns? Maybe even before that?

But France has a tight restriction on firearms and they don't tolerate this culture war bullshit either. I think it's largely due to the fact that progressivism has really taken a hold in Britain both politically and socially.
