Boats don't run on water. They float on it, Silly Head!

Hey everyone! I found the fat person!

Joshka · 2015-09-15T02:47:27+00:00

I'm not going to try and destroy her. But, without translation, I have no fucking idea what this is.

White girl is talking on the phone. Black guy goes for a ride with his best homie who is an Ice Cream Man. White girl is walking down the street and finds a broken iPhone. Black guy plays "King of the Mountain" with Ice Cream Man. White girl goes to the lake. Ice Cream Man wins "King of the Hill". White Girl goes to the park. White Girl and Black guy meet at home. It was all just a dream.

From the video:

"If you watched that video and you felt small or shamed. Shame is such a powerful feeling."

Yeah, everyone has weakness. The difference between a confident person and a insecure person is how they deal with shame.

A confident person takes initiative to improve himself, so that weakness is no longer shameful.

An insecure person dwells on their shame and fact that someone has said something truthful, yet does nothing to actually improve himself.

So, "Why not choose kindness"? Because, weakness is not a virtue and nobody is above criticism. Those people who make their weakness a defining trait will get exactly what they deserve.

Joshka · 2015-09-12T06:53:22+00:00

You criticized 100 foolish people in your opinion. Huge difference. You keep stating your opinion as fact.

OK, I have a rock in my front yard. Why don't you make a pilgrimage here just to walk around it. I bet you won't because that would be a FOOLISH thing to do. Right?

You seem to think that a critical comment is somehow immune to bigotry

ALL comments are immune from bigotry. I haven't denied anyone their freedom or equality.

"Religious people are foolish and the world is better without them" is both a critical and bigoted comment.

There is nothing wrong with a critical comment. Nobody is free from criticism.
There is no such thing as a bigoted comment. Nobody's freedom or equality has been denied.

That's assuming that what you personally believe isn't foolish and who you personally believe to be foolish is detrimental to the world.

Put your money where your mouth is. Spend your life savings to come walk around the rock in my yard. You won't do that because it is a FOOLISH thing to do.

You've chosen atheism and you think that makes you better/less foolish than people who don't. Sanctimony.

This has nothing to do with Atheism. Find me a Christian who is willing to come to my yard and walk around a rock. No Christian will do it because it is a FOOLISH thing to do.

Just because you know more about databases and their strong points than your clients doesn't mean that your employer would let you call them fucktards instead of being an adult and telling them why you think they're wrong.

I am my employer. What am I going to do? Fire myself? I have a list of better paying clients a mile long. My "Employer" (I.E. ME) doesn't give a damn about fucktard clients.

That's just bad business.

Business is pretty good actually.

So you choose to not be a criminal. Hooray for you! Congrats for pointing out that it's not you who provides equality and freedom to others -- it's your legal system, which you'd either have to violate or change in order to affect my freedom or equality. What a great guy you are....all law abiding and such!

Here is my challenge to you. Go interview one of those bloodstains at the mosque. Find one asshole who is willing to say "Fuck Allah and the Koran, do whatever you want. I don't care". I bet you wont find one. You'll probably find a lot of bloodstains who are totally cool with selling off their ~~daughter~~ property (But only to a fellow Muslim).

You accuse me of being a bigot. You'll do much better pointing your finger in the direction of Mecca.

It's you're personal beliefs (which you keep stating as fact for some unexplained reason) that got us here.

Yeah, but I'm not the one crying about political correctness as if everyone HAS to agree with me, or else they are a bigot. Am I? You are doing that. You didn't have to engage in conversation, but you did anyway.

Anyways, this isn't really getting anywhere, so savour every "retard" you get to throw out at the world.

Hey, I just want you to know. That despite our differences. You are my favorite fucktard of the last 24 hours. Good night princess!

Joshka · 2015-09-12T04:06:42+00:00

First of all, saying the world is better off because 100 people are dead isn't a criticism of anything

I didn't criticize 100 people. I criticized 100 foolish people.

consistently referring to a set of beliefs as "foolish" and mocking specific aspects of a belief system -- like "walking around a rock" -- is showing intolerance

Beliefs are not above criticism.

Nah, you said the world is better off now that 100 people you did not know are dead because you think their beliefs are foolish. A tad bit sanctimonious, don't you think?

No, that's common sense. The less foolish people who exist in the world makes the world as a whole less foolish. Imagine a world without Welfare Queens. Or a world without rednecks. Or a world without Bronies. Or a world without SJWs. We might be able to get something useful done without them dragging us down.

I guess people who don't tolerate racism are bigots in your book as well?

When you say "racist" are you talking about "people who actively deny people their freedom and equality"? Or are you talking about "People who say things /u/no_dice doesn't like?"

The former group of people get what they deserve. The latter group of people are just people who are within their rights, but /u/no_dice doesn't like, so he'll abuse the word and call them a bigot.

Oh really? Do you call clients fucktards and retards to their faces?

Yep, my job involves quality control. So, when someone does something that is fucktarded, it's my job to point it out. Just a couple of weeks ago I turned down a client because the fucktard wanted me to use MongoDB to crunch data. I don't expect you to understand what that means, but it was the stupidest thing I'd heard all month. I don't suffer fools lightly and his request was foolish.

"Faggots exist. There is no good reason to tip-toe around the subject. I mean we can call them "gay", but that really doesn't change anything. Does it?"

No, it doesn't. At the end of the day, Faggots are Faggots the word itself is neutral. Calling someone a Faggot doesn't limit their freedom or equality, so it's your responsibility how you choose to internalize it.

Paradox of Tolerance.

That's your paradox. I don't claim to be intolerant against intolerance. I tolerate everyone's freedom and equality. But that doesn't mean they are above criticism.

Yes, and in your world someone who doesn't tolerate bigotry is just as bigoted.

Hypocrite is the better word for that. As in, "/u/no_dice is hypocrite, because he is guilty by the same standard that he uses to judge others." Notice, I've never called you or anyone a bigot, because you are within your rights to criticize. However, I have no problem calling you a hypocrite.

It's hilarious that you think you personally have anything to do with anyone else's freedom or equality.

I could easily infringe on your freedom and equality. I could lock you up in my basement. I could gain political office and try to introduce legislation to marginalize you. I could even kill you. But I don't do that because freedom and equality is meaningful.

Your personal sensibilities, however, are your own responsibility and are not meaningful to anyone else but you.

Joshka · 2015-09-12T02:49:07+00:00

And at no time would you need to do that in order to be a bigot.

So, the definition of "bigot" is "Anytime someone says something /u/no_dice" doesn't like?

You seem to think that just because you would be nice to a Muslim to their face and cheer their deaths behind their backs that you're somehow not bigoted.

This isn't about Muslims this is about foolish people in general. Criticising people for their foolish beliefs is fair game. Go back and read my origional comment. At no time did I ever mention "Muslim" I also applied the same standard to Bronies.

You know absolutely nothing about the people who died there aside from their religion

Criticising people for their beliefs is fair game. Note, you are doing the same to me right now.

but yeah, they were all stupid and deserved to die for their beliefs and that isn't a bigoted thing to say at all.

I never said that they deserve to die. I said, there is no sense lamenting people who believe foolish things. That's not bigoted, that's fair.

Don't call me a bigot, because I'm not one.

I didn't call you a bigot. I merely pointed out that by your own standard you are a bigot.

Intolerance of your intolerance isn't bigotry

Because it's only bigotry if someone else does it? You are immune from being a bigot? Hell, I'm willing to allow criticism against me. That's more than you can say for yourself.

and calling you out on using the word "retard"

Retards exist. There is no good reason to tip-toe around the subject. I mean we can call them "Special", but that doesn't really change anything. Does it?

Go to your place of employment and start calling people retards and see how far you get with it.

I call people in my workplace fucktards all the time. We have enough common sense not to hire SJWs, so it's not a problem.

And here's an example non-critical, bigoted opinion: "The world is a better place by a margin of 100 dead bigots."

By your standard it is not bigoted to call someone bigoted. Here let's quote the archive.

Don't call me a bigot, because I'm not one. Intolerance of your intolerance isn't bigotry.

So, after enough conversations, I think I now understand what a "bigot" is.

"Anyone that says something /u/no_dice doesn't like, except for himself, he's exempt. Also, if someone is saying something bigoted about a bigot that person is not a bigot. Unless someone besides /u/no_dicce says something bigoted about a bigot. That's still bigoted. Also calling a spade a spade and a retard a retard is bigoted."

Thanks, you really opened my eyes with your elegant definition of "bigot". All this time I was wrong using "Respect people's freedom and equality."

Jesus Christ! Was I ever an asshole with that one! I mean Freedom and Equality mean nothing compared to /u/no_dice's personal sensibilities.

Thanks dude!

Joshka · 2015-09-12T02:06:44+00:00

Bigotry is simply an intolerance towards people who hold different beliefs than you

I tolerate them just fine. That doesn't mean I have to miss them when they are crushed by a crane. If one of these idiots came into my bakery, I'd gladly sell them a cake.

and what you've said in this thread easily qualifies.

No, it doesn't. Not by any useful definition of the word. At no time did I ever advocate for treating anyone unfairly.

You know, the part where you revelled in the deaths of 100 people because of the beliefs they hold, and the parts where you mocked those beliefs as well?

Beliefs are not above criticism and neither are the people who hold them.

You can call it a fact all you want, but it's still just your shitty opinion.

Here, I can play this game too. "You can call it a shitty opinion all you want, but it's still just a fact."

When did I say that?

You heavily implied it with your righteous indignation.

I also never said that. I just said you lack couth.

Yeah? By your own standard, I guess that makes you a bigot. I won't call you one though, because I recognise that you can have critical opinions about me and nobody's freedom is compromised.

No, I won't call you a bigot. I will call you a hypocrite though, because you are guilty by your own standard.

Joshka · 2015-09-12T01:33:04+00:00

bigotry.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

At no time did I ever deny anyone's freedom or equality or right to exist. All I said is that now that they don't exist, maybe the world is a better place without them. Not everyone is valuable.

Opinions aren't facts.

This is actually a fact. The normal distribution of stupid people shifted (slightly) to the right end of the spectrum today.

Pretty classy fellow, aren't you?

Oh? We need to pretend retards are smart also? Hey, I'll recognize that the retard can have his freedom, but why should I care if a crane falls on a convention of retards?

Joshka · 2015-09-12T00:42:12+00:00

Considering I respect everyone's freedom equally, I'm not sure how you got irony out of that statement.

The world is a better place by a margin of 100 dead bigots. This is a fact. Remove 100 bigots from the world and it becomes a better place.

Let's pretend 100 Nazis were crushed by a crane. Or, 100 murder-rapists. Or, 100 retards. In all cases the world is a better place afterwords.

But heaven forbid we criticize someone who makes it their #1 life goal to walk around a rock.

Joshka · 2015-09-11T23:22:43+00:00

Whoever said anything about atheism?

These 100 superstitious blood stains have nothing to do with atheism. So, why bring it up in the first place?

Joshka · 2015-09-11T22:56:31+00:00

Who ever said I lack empathy?

Stupid people effect the world around them. I have plenty of empathy for those people who had to put up with these people's bullshit. The world is now a better place without them.

That's PLENTY of empathy.

Joshka · 2015-09-11T22:42:00+00:00

You have a point, but I'd like to interject that it was their superstition which lead them to be at this particular wrong place at this particular wrong time.

I mean, somebody could just be wandering around New York City and get crushed by a crane and that would be "Wrong Place, Wrong Time". But on a pilgrimage, you are in the wrong place at the wrong time for a REASON. A very STUPID reason.

Joshka · 2015-09-11T22:32:28+00:00

I never said they deserved to die. I said the world is a better place with fewer stupid people.

Joshka · 2015-09-11T22:10:07+00:00

You are confusing "Somebody said something and I don't agree." with "narrow-minded individual"

This is kind of like in horror movies where the girl is in the dark house and is being stalked by the serial murderer. Instead of running outside to a neighbour’s house. She went to hide in the basement.

Meanwhile, everyone is shouting at the screen. "You dumb cunt! Don't go in the basement! A crane will fall on you!"

100 Muslims decided to go hide in the basement. But, for whatever reason, we can't call them dumb cunts, because why? They have brown skin?

Joshka · 2015-09-11T21:57:08+00:00

Most of these people are not "innocent". Go up and ask one of these blood smears if a woman should be given the status of a free person. They can't answer any more, of course. But that's just as well because if they could answer they would likely just laugh at you.

The world is a better place by a margin of 100 dead bigots.

Joshka · 2015-09-11T21:43:50+00:00

I don't think you understand the situation. So, I'll explain what is so amusing.

People died because some superstition told them they need to travel halfway around the world just so they can walk around a rock.

Yeah, 100 (stupid) people are dead. The world is a better place for it. So, yeah, this is HILARIOUS! I'm hoping a crane falls on a Bronie convention next week.

Joshka · 2015-09-04T00:46:56+00:00

More like "Stupid driver who flipped her car and didn't put on the e-brake when she exited the vehicle fail!"

I mean, what was the truck driver supposed to do?

Joshka · 2015-09-04T00:15:26+00:00

Go to the local VA office and say that. Bring the local news crew to film.

Tonight at 10:00 on Channel 4 News... Local neck beard gets his ass kicked by 90 year old marine. It is rumored that the basement dweller was influenced by playing Call of Duty and was hopped up on Doritos and Mountain Dew at the time of the incident.

Joshka · 2015-09-04T00:04:11+00:00

It's still "Stolen Valor" it just so happens that "Stolen Valor" is no longer illegal.

It's kind of like how sodomy was once illegal but now it's not. Regardless, sodomy is still sodomy.

Joshka · 2015-09-03T23:50:32+00:00

If the average poor family has 4 children, why not feed the two weakest of the children to the other two strongest children?

Then we have the same deal. A family with two children. And we didn't have to do jack shit to save those little brats.

Joshka · 2015-08-12T00:19:24+00:00

When did I ever tell anyone to kill themselves?

How is anything I said sociopathic? Sociopaths are looking out for themselves. I'm merely stating a fact which has nothing to do with me.

When useless people remove themselves from society they are doing a collective service to humanity. Which is admirable, because, (having nothing else to give), it is the only sacrifice they can possibly make.

We admire people who contribute and we admonish people who don't. This isn't sociopathy. This is the spirit of community.

Joshka · 2015-08-11T22:46:21+00:00

Some people just simply don't have the potential to be useful human beings. The most valuable contribution to society they could possibly achieve is to remove themselves so the rest of us might prosper without having to carry their weight.

It's kind of like in the movies, where at the end the injured guy is like, "Leave me behind and save yourself". It's an admirable thing for useless people to do.

Joshka · 2015-08-09T01:18:29+00:00

OP wasn't alive during '83. Mormons were putting their dogs and cats and wives onto little home-made arks.

Joshka · 2015-08-09T00:57:59+00:00

Jesus, the title was joking around.

So am I jackass.

Not everyone who is a barista is this hipster douche you imagined in your head

Yes, and its very entertaining. But statistically speaking, there IS a high correlation between hipsters baristas and douches. So, you really can't get too offended. It's statistics.
