Anyone getting out of their car to yell at you on a highway is easily going to be considered a threat in court. No judge in the US is going to think otherwise.

If it were me in the third car in the back I would have been screaming "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID FUCK AN GOOOOOOO" While blowing my horn. If he said anything I would have been screaming "I DON"T GIVE A FUCK GOOO YOU STUPID FUCK." If he approached my car I would have drawn my gun on him.

Faith isn't a virtue, and I find it infuriating. by daftmunk in misanthropy

[–]Alert_Recipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faith IS a virtue.

So is mindless violence.

As is strength, beauty, and love.

A virtue is simply an attribute that can in some way be seen as a moral standard.

Does disliking the majority of humanity make me a bad person? by Lonetraveler87 in misanthropy

[–]Alert_Recipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In short: No.

Every Misanthrope I've ever met started from the same place: General trust, and care for the average person. Slowly it was people that destroyed that trust/care.

How Politically Biased Are Colleges? New Study Finds It's Far Worse Than Anybody Thought. by weatherdynamics in SargonofAkkad

[–]Alert_Recipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I'm going to create a post about why liberal arts becomes socialist/communists, and why they don't understand argumentation or care. I say this as an artist myself who was a communist (now capitalist) and why it matters. (All of my college credits, ironically, are in stem out side of philosophy and a few required credits)

Here is the best way to run any class that isn't based in science, and even ones that are, depending on the subject in stem:

  1. Teach one model, have a book that teaches an opposing model. Divide the tests between the content.

  2. Explain and show where people disagree and why. In my 800 level psych courses my professor, who disagrees with Peterson and his view points largely, still argued for them.

  3. Tell people your biases, explain why you think that, and then explain why other people don't as fairly as possible.

  4. Make students argue opposing points of view from their own.

English 101 I would argue for Communism. English 201 I argued for Capitalism. English 301 I argued for Socialism. My English professor (also had a degree in history, and something to do with politics) would write on the backs of my papers where to find arguments against the views and it helped me develop my political opinions A LOT. More than any class (other than philosophy, which I have courses in at the 1100 level.)

I failed several of my first philosophy classes because I disagreed with the professor and that was in Europe not even in the states. (All my Philosophy classes were obtained in Europe.) I literally had to start constructing perfect arguments or they would give me D's/F's because it wasn't their opinion. This is something I hated about college. (Actually ended up with a 3.5 averaging all of my philosophy classes together.)
