welcome to your indoctrination-have a seat

arekin says...

Sigh, this is stupid. Education is designed to forced subordination so as to make it easy to teach 20 - 30 kids without them running rampant. Output of information is retention of information. Granted there are people that don't learn to think for themselves, but these people would have difficulty doing this either way. Do we need to tech people to think for themselves? Yes. Is their some conspiracy to prevent it? No.

Female Supremacy

arekin says...

If men where to have a group where they asked for equal rights in areas they were not equal, it would be called misogyny, and immediately attacked for being anti female. Feminists are not asking for equality, they are asking for advantages. Feminists complain about being oppressed at the top end of the financial spectrum, but they have numerous advantages at the bottom end of the financial spectrum that they call equality. When huge numbers are in poverty (much more than those looking for executive positions), in numerous states women are able to get housing and food stamps, healthcare and welfare, all where men cannot in the same circumstance.

For me to support feminism, I would have to see them pushing for equality in all circumstances, not just "equal for me, fuck you for asking for more".

That's your argument, you say that it's oppressive to you as a rational person and then you present no evidence to that. Your argument isn't standing on anything whatsoever. You've basically pointed to "because this is how I feel about it." That's not convincing at all.

Haven't you ever had to make an argument where you've had to give evidence? I'm genuinely curious how "Feminism" as an idea can be oppressive. Especially when there is still a wage gap, and an underrepresentation of women in high offices.

I honestly don't understand this video or any of these arguments because you have not made your case at all.

Bill Maher Discusses Boston Bombing and Islam

arekin says...

The sad thing about Islam is that we really cant know if this is a fringe element that is violent or not.

"There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them."

Muslims can lie to non-believers with the intention to convert them, so saying "no most of us are peaceful" could well be another ploy to gain trust. We can't know and sadly even if a Muslim joined the argument right now and said "no, we really are peaceful" I would be hard pressed to believe them.

Unfortunately I think Bill makes the best point here (one brought up by Orson Scott Card in Shadow of the Hegemon). Islam is the only religion today that you are not free to leave without fear of death. If it is to be a free religion that is followed based on faith and not fear that must change.

Filtering the water out of Coca Cola.

arekin says...

done this before, you can do it with any active charcoal filter (I used a brita). The sad thing is if you notice its still has a brown hint to it and it tastes horrible. The filter does not remove all but the water, it leaves the acid taste. it literally tastes like you are drinking a mild acid.

TYT: Government Sneakily Repeals Its Own Insider Trading Law

arekin says...

I hate this guy, the stock act wasn't so much about insider trading, the stock act was an effort to prevent congress from voting based on the stocks that they held. The reason it made sense to exempt staffers from this bill is because THEY CAN"T VOTE ON BILLS. Why the hell do staffers have to report what stocks they are selling? And this doesn't prevent anyone from actually buying or selling stock, just means you can be held accountable for what stocks you buy.

Interesting, you immediately see it as a threat instead of a statement of fact. Short of actually visiting his jail, its hard to know.

Oh come on - a lecture is fine, but when police officers use anal rape as a threat, there is a problem. How can this be OK in any possible sane world?
