TED Talk: Whitopia

Drachen_Jager says...

And your point is? You'll have to spell it out. Preferably without the hyperbole this time. What do you think the words, "Not entirely inaccurate..." mean?

"One white person is pleasant company; 50 white people are a lynch mob waiting to happen."...."Not entirely inaccurate..."

Your actual words and argument.

TED Talk: Whitopia

Drachen_Jager says...

Don't make a straw man out of me.

Take my actual words and my actual argument if you want me to respond. I'm not going to defend words I didn't use.

newtboy said:

Really?
You want to defend that?!

You honestly believe white people are all so easily swayed and ready to jump into racial attacks with no provocation that any gathering of >50 is just a mob awaiting a proper target, which is any non white?

Are you prepared to make similar insulting and divisive blanket racist statements about other ethnicities?

Here I was feeling bad I had called him out on what was possibly intended as a bad joke, then you come along to support it as a fact. *facepalm

Not entirely inaccurate though.

Except in some countries in Europe where the population is still over 90% European, what business have 50 white people got hanging out together without any visible minorities? Odds are they either self-selected into that group, or they live in a very white bubble. Either way they are likely mistrustful of people who don't look like them and could be swayed by one or two strong voices to persecute those they see as "other".

That's a pretty ignorant and disgusting, blatantly racist statement you made.

The Economic Collapse Of China! Signs Of China's Failing Eco

Drachen_Jager says...

Yeah, pretend to be highly intellectual by using an educated-sounding British person.

Maybe get a thesaurus while you're at it? Or at least learn the difference between things like "adverse" and "abject". Such mistakes show the lack of intellectual rigor here. And don't try to tell me it's on purpose, ALL poverty is inherently adverse, and "abject poverty" is the common phrase (also that's not the only screw up of that type).

Milk Is Just Filtered Blood

Drachen_Jager says...

"Just filtered blood" is misleading. It's filtered, PROCESSED, blood.

This is like saying plants are just dirt, air, and water. While technically true, the biological processes in plant growth (as with milk production) create complex nutritive molecules out of simple constituents.

Homeopathy Explained – Gentle Healing or Reckless Fraud?

Drachen_Jager says...

The core idea behind homeopathy is that water has memory.

So if you put Caffeine in water it "remembers" the Caffeine and when you reduce the amount enough, that causes it to become "negative" which means it'll put you to sleep.

So since all water on Earth has been exposed to other water that was once in contact with every conceivable medication, perhaps we should just drink water instead of paying for some magic water? After all, every bit of water you drink has some molecules that were dinosaur piss once upon a time.

The Nick Cage clip he pointed to looked like some sort of rubber mask or something, sort-of okay, but the facial expressions just didn't work somehow. We're not at the point where you can fake a tape and experts can't tell the difference.

Here's how Trump's nuclear "button" actually works

Drachen_Jager says...

Do you really think he could read out a long and complicated string of letters and numbers without multiple mistakes? He can't even read or write a simple, grammatically correct sentence.

Great. No one better tell "Fox and Friends". We don't want the president to find out.

Here's how Trump's nuclear "button" actually works

Drachen_Jager says...

Also from Vox, an interview with Political Science Professor Peter Feaver : https://www.vox.com/world/2017/11/17/16656856/trump-congress-nuclear-weapons-war

He says, in the instance that the United States is under imminent threat, the above applies, otherwise:

"The other scenario is that the president wakes the military up in the middle of the night and says, "Hey, I wanna do a nuclear strike," and in that setting, he would raise a lot of alarms throughout the chain of command. People would be saying, "Well, what is this? Why are we doing this?" It would require a lot more people to say, "Yes. This is the right decision." "

The Truth About Popular Culture

7 LIES You Were Taught At School

Drachen_Jager says...

This isn't accurate at all on Columbus either.

Every educated person knew the Earth was round, they even had a pretty good idea of how BIG it was. Which is why nobody was insane enough to try the trip to the East over the Western sea. It was too far, they would simply die.

Columbus was an idiot who got the math wrong and thought the Earth was a lot smaller than everyone else knew it was. He didn't even really convince the Queen he was right, she just had lots of ships and on the off chance he might be right, she gave him three because the reward was worth the risk.

He then went on to slaughter a few million islanders in the Caribbean because they wouldn't tell him where the gold was (they had no gold).

So... he was basically an idiot and a homicidal maniac, responsible for one of the largest genocides the world has ever known. Yay, let's celebrate a day for him, America! (oh and he also never set foot in what is now the United States AND the first Europeans to come to the Americas were several hundred years earlier).

The Violent Left EXPOSED!

Drachen_Jager says...

Yes, an alt-righter drove his car into a crowd of protestors, but THEY are the terrorists.

Uh huh.

You're the one who should be ashamed, @bobknight33 for posting this garbage again and again, then refusing to even attempt to defend it when others point out the obvious flaws.

Rubio VS Comey: The altimate summary to Comeys testimony.

Drachen_Jager says...

I think by "altimate" what @bobknight33 really meant to say is "alt-right" - AKA the bullshit propaganda he sees on Alex Jones etc.

I like how, massive scandal, obstruction of justice, possible treason, like god-damnit, it's possible that people at the highest levels committed outright TREASON and Bob's worried about semantics. Where was your sense of moderation for Obama, Bob? You were ready to hang him for enjoying spicy mustard (I know, that's so much more un-American than selling your soul and country to the Russians so they can bail-out your bankrupt ass like Trump, right?

So, I'll stop asking if you're getting tired of winning. Joke's growing old. Instead, I'll ask. Do you think this is winning? Do you think America is winning under Trump? Do you think Trump is winning? Do you think Trump makes your life better and Obama made your life worse?

I'm just curious to gauge the level of your delusion here, but I'd genuinely love to hear your answers. Not that I think you're brave enough to admit the truth, but it would be nice to get it from you at least once.

Atheist Angers Christians With Bible Verse

Drachen_Jager says...

The Bible can't even figure out what the Ten Commandments are.

I bet you can't find a single Christian walking down the street who can quote the ACTUAL Ten Commandments. There were two lists of "shall nots" and while it says they're identical, they clearly are not. The first, Moses destroyed, and the second is the only list referred to as "Commandments".

The Bible is wildly inconsistent, as anyone who actually read the stupid thing would know.
