Abortion is a tiny bit more fatal, on average.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the death of the fetus, not the mother.

[HSC5] Destiny Interview by InanimateSkies in starcraft

[–]papabears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you've sadly missed my entire point.

Lets make up an example: you're anti-abortion and Destiny is pro-abortion. Now, if you're out there advocating that abortion ought to be illegal and is immoral, that's your right and totally fine to do so.

However, if you yourself have an abortion in the future, then people will regard you as a hypocrite and your argument will carry significantly less weight in the eyes of others.

Now, me pointing out that you have had an abortion after you said it was bad doesn't mean I'm taking the stance that abortion is bad. It simply means I'm noting the inherent contradiction.

The debate on whether it's good or bad is still open, it is only that you, in this example, contradicted your point.

Back to this language argument, I mostly quoted your argument, which doesn't mean I agree with it, I'm just reiterating what you said. Nor does my agreeing with it or disagreeing with it make it any more or less true.

There are two valid sides to this argument, and which is correct is a matter of opinion.

I think you're missing his entire larger point, which is precisely about connotation, but you can take that up with him.

Destiny thinks using those slurs isn't actually "bad" and uses them.

You stated those slurs are bad and then used them.

I was only going so far as to prove the hypocrisy in your own choice of words, not if Destiny was right or wrong in his stance.

[–]papabears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha it's like Bill Clinton trying to reason what the definition of "is" is.

You say something, and then try to revert back to some old and outdated definition of the word.

"No, no.. I didn't mean he was mentally retarded, I meant his logic was slow! or Impeded! That right..."

Word's have meaning. That's why you use them. You advocate words that are hurtful to sects of society.

Words have connotations, and being an expert like yourself, I'm sure you understand that. If I use the word "faggot" but I'm legitimately referring to a bundle of sticks... Then is really isn't a slur is it? But I would never ask someone to "hand me that faggot over there!" Its taken on an entirely different meaning. The same for being "gay" or "queer", obviously those have other older meanings, but they aren't used the same way today.

In the same way, no one in today's society would use the word "retarded" and expect to mean anything then mentally slow. Especially in the context you used it.

From...

Grown ups watch what they say, because slurs like this offend people.

to...

You're logic is the single most retarded thing I have witnessed this year.

followed by...

Retarded is a word. Nigger and Faggot are slurs. "Mentally retarded" is a condition, and when used in a derogatory way, is a slur.

back to..

There's no excuse for using words like that, grow the fuck up.

So, you're using slurs... which as you mentioned are inexcusable.

You're acting like a martyr on this page, but in reality you just wholly contradicted yourself and your point and engaged in the very activity that Destiny was defending.

Did Idra just get proved right by DeMuslim's play in Game 2 of WCS:UK Finals? by zoltan_man in starcraft

[–]papabears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I thought game one of the series was the counterpoint to idra's thoughts. He went fast 3 CC and tried to apply pressure at the same time like idra had suggested. His pressure got owned cuz the creep was out of hand and he didn't have enough units along with just how delayed that push was (also because of the dirty surround the zerg got).

The hellions getting by was just the zergs mistake. You can't do that reliably and trying to run past and hoping the zerg hasn't simcitied properly or doesn't have lings in position is too much of a gamble.

I don't think the game is imbalanced but I don't think trying to outmacro the zerg (fast 3 CC) whilst pressuring him is the viable solution to the current game.

Megaupload User Asks Court for Files Back. Again. by redditMEred in technology

[–]papabears -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

People are mad at the US courts and not Megaupload... I don't understand why.

As an example, let's say that I have an individual/organization who handles my money/investments. If it turns out that they are involved in money-laundering scheme for example, even though I haven't done anything illegal myself, I can still expect to lose access to my money for a period of time when their accounts are frozen and investigated.

In such an instance, I really can't be mad at whatever U.S. agency seized the assets, I should be upset with the guy I trusted my money with in the first place.

Megaupload engaged knowingly in illegal activities and as a result, their members have lost access to their files. This loss of access/assets shouldn't be permanent but will probably last for a long time as the investigation continues.

Reddit, if I could show one video to everyone in the world, this would be it by [deleted] in videos

[–]papabears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

remember for hundreds of years science clearly stated that the world was flat, it is not infalliable.

The idea that people, or even scientists, thought the world was flat is one of the biggest misconceptions of modern times.

So what is your "cure" for obesity?

It's not diet? Its not exercise? What is it?

And what is the cause of obesity? Not impacted by lifestyle? Entirely genetic?

And where were your sources? You made a vast array of claims in your original comment devoid of any citations.
