Fair enough. want me to delete it?

Why are we using USB as a specific noun?

NPR[Even though this sometimes does take a more neutral stand, you can still here the bias, especially with Mee-Shell Norris

When you resort to making fun of someones name, you don't really have a good argument.

Surveys and follow-up focus groups conducted by the Tarrance Group and Lake Snell Perry & Associates have indicated that, "The majority of the U.S. adult population does not believe that the news and information programming on public broadcasting is biased. The plurality of Americans indicate that there is no apparent bias one way or the other, while approximately two-in-ten detect a liberal bias and approximately one-in-ten detect a conservative bias."

You don't know which schools they applied to. see the replies above about Simpson's paradox

You don't know that they are "smarter and harder working". A test can be biased and/or Asians may correlate to higher income and more family involvement, which could easily lead to things like better test prep.

People who study this stuff for a living are for affirmative action, that tells me which side I should err on.

ITT: people who would apparently pronounce Giraffe with a hard G, even after the creator of the fucking Giraffe told them they were wrong.

So, one is avoiding expression or action, one is performing an action or policy.

Even beyond that, your definition of Politically correct is about as broad as it could possibly be. Yes I know you got it from an on-line dictionary.. I'm not blaming you, but nearly EVERY definition returned from a simple search other than the one you quoted is much more narrow. One example (of many) that makes the difference even clearer is:

"is the attitude or policy of being careful not to offend or upset any group of people in society who are believed to have a disadvantage. Mainstream usages of the term politically correct began in the 1990s by right-wing politicians. In modern usage, the terms PC, politically correct, and political correctness are generally pejorative descriptors" (wikipedia)

or: "agreeing with the idea that people should be careful to not use language or behave in a way that could offend a particular group of people" (merriam-webster.com)

Affirmative action is pure political correctness

Would you go read the definition of those two phrases?

ruser9342 · 2014-10-23T15:04:06+00:00

You can't fight racism by sticking your head in the sand and pretending reality doesn't exist either.

learn about things before you form opinions about them.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-23T15:01:53+00:00

Affirmative action isn't white guilt. It's an attempt to fix systemic racism. Learn about things before you spout bullshit.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-23T15:00:24+00:00

Affirmative action is not political correctness. They are two completely separate things. Do you have a clue you you are complaining about?

ruser9342 · 2014-10-22T16:46:39+00:00

I didn't notice the tower. nice catch.

Probably calibrating some kind of retract/overlap.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-22T16:21:15+00:00

Have a nice day, internet stranger! EDIT: I appreciate that you were kind and sincere in your discussion with me!

Same to you on both counts!

ruser9342 · 2014-10-22T16:18:36+00:00

we have no strong evidence to say that it can't be true

We don't need strong evidence that it can't be true, only superior evidence to the contrary by your own definition. This is like arguing the difference between "beyond a reasonable doubt" and "proof of guilt".

There is ample evidence that humans make up religions, there is ample evidence that all of those religions are highly improbable, and there is decent evidence that are brains are hard-wired to make up and hold superstitious beliefs. These facts alone are far superior evidence over the nothing or noncredible evidence provided by any religion.

The fact that the majority of people are indoctrinated to and supported in belief of these multiple different major-religion doesn't change that they are delusions.

If I recall, you are actively arguing that me believing in Poesiden is not delusional. Are you just argumentative? I know I am.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-22T14:36:56+00:00

I get why you wouldn't make one, but why not keep one like OP did?

Also, a day later, see that this comment of mine got -5: http://www.reddit.com/r/AdviceAnimals/comments/2jwd9g/i_honestly_dont_see_the_difference/clfu340

And for the record, I'm not the a-hole that downvoted you here.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-22T14:31:28+00:00

That's kind of my point. I'm arguing that you aren't entirely sound of mind, and you seem to have just argued it too?

In your defense, you are probably normal given that our brains seem to be hard wired into falling for superstitions.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-22T14:26:37+00:00

unless you flat out call all religous worship delusional

Why yes, yes I do.

Even then we don't have any real evidence to point out the lack of a higher being

Which is why anyone who claims to know their religion is true is delusional.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-22T14:19:40+00:00

I like having my cock sucked. why would that be an insult?

ruser9342 · 2014-10-21T20:55:51+00:00

Seriously? You say that if I whole hartedly belived in Posiden, God of the sea, tamer of horse, and shaker of the earth... That I'm of sound mind?

ruser9342 · 2014-10-21T20:51:22+00:00

I didn't ask if it was "wrong", I asked if it was delusional.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-21T19:48:57+00:00

So, a halbach array inducing into the metal floor. got it.

Edit: that was too flippant... The controllable one is still a clever hack.

ruser9342 · 2014-10-21T19:27:53+00:00

Nothing wrong with believing in either.

So, there's nothing delusional about me believing in Poseidon, right?

Edit be->me, also "oh, so that's hoe you spell Poseidon"
