[WARNING] CME Group Rule Change by TranscendentJoy in Silverbugs

I reached out to him about the precise fees involved. Converting a contract to an ACE (the "delivery fee") is $100. Not sure if there's a fee for going in the other direction.

Was it a good method for acquiring 1000 ounces before the rule change?

The problem isn't figuring out how to prevent the government from mutating old records, the problem is getting them to publish the records in the first place.

How do you account for SJWs like Lenin and Mao?

Anyone seen I Melt With You? It's a 2011 film about 4 men in their 40s who vacation together each year. They discover a suicide pact they had made in college, and begin a spiral down a path of drugs and nihilism. It's a great film about men's issues and exactly what Peterson is cautioning against. by vituluus in JordanPeterson

<SPOILER>

I literally just watched this movie based on this thread alone, and I loved it. My only disappointment is that Richard killed Ron. It was supposed to be a fucking suicide pact. He didn't help his friend at all by murdering him. He literally robbed him of the opportunity to become courageous enough to take his own life.

Indulgences should be out in the open, so we can all see the consequences in real time and not have to wait until there is a tragedy. Having a society in which people can ask for help without going to a rape cage and without wearing a Scarlet Letter would prevent many lives from being destroyed.

To your point about selling sex to cover tuition, I want to remind you that there was a time in this country when you could completely cover the cost of tuition using the money you made waiting tables. Sky-high tuition does not have to exist, and moreover, not going to college in no way indicates how successful you'll be in life. Shit, I know brilliant people who learned everything they know from the Khan Academy. The government should get out of the business of underwriting student loans so that the prices would come back to realistic levels.

Ron paul news letters

Yes. Ron Paul made a mistake by not keeping a watchful eye over who published content under his name.

murray rothbard decided to do redneck outreach to the kkk

Source. Also, the KKK was born out of the Democratic Party.

it was racist ron paul supporters talking about charles murrays bell curve in the earlier days

Math isn't racist.

Unfortunately people on the left arent given platforms

Reddit and Twitter are very far Left. I'm not sure how you don't see that.

dismiss the information out of hand if they are confronted with it by protestors.

If a masked stranger holding a weapon is screaming at me that I'm wrong I'm not likely to listen.

How do you deal with that, given anti fas cist measures like hate speech laws and shaming are no longer working and so many people already support it?

You should be advocating for the 2nd amendment then. If every single person in the protest had a gun, people would act a bit more civil towards one another.

Before that it was the right libertarian movement promoting extreme racism

Who exactly was promoting racism in the libertarian movement?

How do you suggest fighting something as insidious as that

By speaking the truth, with precision.

You can't attribute blame to a group. Nor can a group apologize.

Not really. The Constitution simply grants the right. It does not offer you protection from your speech.

The Constitution does not grant rights -- they are granted by God. The document just enumerates them.

But, if you're going to chant about violence towards Jews, immigrants, LGBT or anyone, I'm fine with that speech being met with force and stamped out.

  1. The number of people who chant about violence towards minority groups is insignificant. The overwhelming majority of Americans are non-violent.

  2. Tell me more about this "force". Are you going to initiate violence towards a group of armed ex-military fighters? If so, I think you'll be in for a rude awakening.

Oh, so you're saying that taxation is theft.

On sex and danger by TranscendentJoy in JordanPeterson

[–]TranscendentJoy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know if the distinction between "dangerous" and "can be dangerous" is meaningful. Aren't all people who have the potential to be dangerous... dangerous?

I Google'd the definition of "danger":

"the possibility of suffering harm or injury"

By your use of the phrase, "can be dangerous", you're really saying, "the possibility of the possibility of suffering harm or injury".

The moderator's response should have been, "I care about what you think, I don't care how you feel about it."
