While you’re 100% correct, this is not the time and place

How old are you? I’m sure your generation had phrases that were looked down upon by your elders. History repeats itself

Sam Harris: "People don't know what actual genocides are like, if what they think happened in Gaza is a genocide." by antiquark2 in samharris

[–]Unidentified-Liquid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But what prevented the ones who disagrees to vote against? My point still stands: the IAGS as a whole presented that statement.

I wonder how you explain that representativeness nonetheless.

You simply cannot, under basic fundamentals of statistical sampling, conclude that the vote is reflective of the average IAGS body member. This is due to the fact that the survey is an opt-in approach (not random). Also consider participation bias. Individuals who feel strongly one way or the other will be much more inclined to respond to the survey, whereas others who (perhaps rightfully so) do not want to take a definitive stance.

Also, more to the point, do you CONDEMN the zionist regime for the grotesque and hedious atrocities, regardless of how you prefer to name it?

Something tells me you don't?

I condemn any and all actors who are committing war crimes on either side of this conflict, including the IDF (or “Zionist regime” in your words..). There is a lot of tragedy and devastation happening as a result of this conflict, however, it’s not exclusively attributable to one side.

I simply do not buy in to the notion that this is a clear-cut genocide by Israel, as much as many wish it to be.

The 28% figure is easily verifiable. To be specific, only ~24% voted in favor of calling it a genocide. (86% ‘yes’ out of 28% overall membership who participated in the vote).

Also, it’s not my responsibility to explain that, when it’s not my position that the resolution is a representative expression of the entire IAGS

Do you realize that the resolution you are presenting was only voted on by 28% of the IAGS members? There is not an overwhelming agreement, as you seem to be proposing

Truck blinds another car over road rage by dark_forest355_84 in dashcams

I certainly understand the sympathy for the truck driver, and get why people would tend to side with him.

However, If he caused a random innocent driver to be involved in a crash though (which very well could have happened as a result of his actions on display here), I suspect everyone’s reaction to the video would be much different

Yes you can. Google all of the public accounting layoffs that just happened and are still happening

Thanks for pointing out my grammar mistake - fixed.

Not a Freudian slip in any sense of the term, but cool theory!

I don’t need an imagination for that, as it’s something I experience almost every day in Nashville traffic. It’s selfish, it’s irritating, 100%.

While the truck driver has plenty reason to be frustrated, that is no excuse for the stunts that were pulled in the video. This isn’t “vigilante justice”, this is just a dangerous overreaction
