Rokcet Scientist "66% of Claimed Rapes are false"

[thesummerqueen]

Okay, I'm much more awake now and waiting for the bathroom to heat up so...

You defended someone who was a complete neanderthal in response to one tiny word I said.

Actually, her responses to you were so much more intelligent than yours that much of what she did flew over your head. So if that's Neanderthal...good lord, are you an amoeba?

I believe you are either with or against our species, and if you dont care about talking about important topics like extending human life or progressing technology/evolution, you are just as much my enemy as religious people and can fuck off.

Again with the religious sounding language. George Bush said something similar. Funny you're having this discussion with me when I have fucking "Humanistic" in my religious views. What you forgot (again) is that other people might have other opinions on exactly what constitutes better living and progression. I don't want a stream of explanation back telling me what YOU think it is - I don't give a shit at this point, though I might have at an earlier one. You just seem to have a problem realizing that whatever YOU find reasonable and logical might not be what OTHER people find reasonable and logical, nor do you have the politeness or respect to find out.

I called it depressing that you old women didn't care, sure, because you sounded like my grandma who recently said about the NASA situation last year "Who needs Nasa?" hmmm, but then again you'll probably die at the very beginning of the technological age of dominance so I guess its ok to be bitter if you're an older woman...

First of all, sonny, I would guess I'm not much older than you, so whatever tech I miss you're sure to miss too. Get over yourself. Nor did I say anything like your granny, because I'm very much in favor of science and so is Shell. We just didn't feel like talking science at the time. Sorry if not wanting to talk about whatever YOU want to talk about at that minute is "old".

I, in fact never said you did, and on the flip side I dont have to give a fuck if you give a fuck. I can make a statement that you are depressing fucks who like to discuss the same old mundane shit everyone talks about at the water cooler. How fucking interesting and deep you must be to not give a shit about the future, artificial evolution or space. Tell me more about you and your plants...

I do believe I managed to say that we are not obligated to give a fuck without disparaging on your interests, which I actually admitted to having an interest in. I just didn't fucking feel like talking about it. So we're in agreement, but only one of us is being insulting here.

Only I get to use life extension programs in the future? haaa Did you not read that your future offsrping will in fact be using the technologies of the future? I think I may care just a tad bit more about other people since people in the future far outnumer anyone living today and if we dont progress soon we will go through primitive problems again like overpopulation and famine etc.

I care enough about the future to be interested in botany that might help feed the world, imagine that.

You're more interested in becoming a cyborg, and that's cool. I hope they develop all of that a lot more quickly, or neither you NOR I will get to see it.

If it's not important enough to even discuss on a fucking chat for 2 minutes of your lives, then that's sad and pathetic. Believe me, I'm so sorry it may have took up a few minutes of your fucking life to discuss one topic that effects everyone. You must be so burnt out from your busy life of chocolate and reality shows or whatever stupid shit the co-operative masses do to keep from going crazy.

I was sharing my joy of something non-forum related with people I consider friends. You were complaining that people on the internets - girls on the internets, specifically - didn't want to talk with you. Who is being the more sad and emo person here?

I'm bored now - the more you talk about it, the less it sounds like interesting technology and the more you sound like it's becoming a practically religious conviction.

Sad, really, because a guy on a skeptic e-mail list I belong to began discussing the same topic with me but he made it much more interesting. Mostly because he sat down and explained it and then let it lie - he didn't try to shove it down my throat.

summerqueen has raised an important
point here about what one might regard as
as logical and reasoned : and I always assume
I am referencing something that I believe to be so
that no one can object : so there are times when have
been ripped to shreds over this and hopefully come away a
tad wiser : no one has a monopoly on wisdom and although we
all strive to seek truth we are not immune from error : this is some
thing that can take a while to sink in : I am quite old [ forty seven ] but
even so make that mistake : never the less is good to be taken apart : one
of course always respects the individual but the ideas they hold deserve nothing
of the sort least not till they have been analysed : so a big up to the humanistic one

I find it difficult to give a fuck about peoples opinions who devolve the species in general religious or not, almost like a bastardized version of social darwinism/evolution. I dont think human life is sacred and I sure as hell dont have faith in anything, the strong and smart survive to pass their genes. And again, no its not just for me or just my opinion.

First of all, sonny, I would guess I'm not much older than you, so whatever tech I miss you're sure to miss too. Get over yourself.

Wow, the first reasonable thing said to me yet.

I do believe I managed to say that we are not obligated to give a fuck without disparaging on your interests, which I actually admitted to having an interest in. I just didn't fucking feel like talking about it. So we're in agreement, but only one of us is being insulting here.

To get real for a minute, you can technically be a cyborg today. We had a cyborg in office, Dick Cheney had a pacemaker, our vice president didnt have a pulse when he was in office.

I'm bored now - the more you talk about it, the less it sounds like interesting technology and the more you sound like it's becoming a practically religious conviction.

So sorry you feel like that lassie but a little news flash, people can be emotional about topics without it havnt religious undertones. I didnt grow up in a dogmatic house, my mom was basically a deist. Yes, I'm a little bit more harsh then most about wanting evolution to happen faster and progress faster because I dont want to die anytime soon and I dont want anyone else to die young either. I in fact want to live a long time before I go, and if that makes me religious to hound on people about this topic then fuck it, where do I sign up to join the religion of technology and science?

Sad becuase a guy on a skeptic e-mail list I belong to began discussing the same topic with me but he made it much more interesting. Mostly because he sat down and explained it and then let it lie - he didn't try to shove it down my throat.

The fuck?... I didnt didnt even get a chance to get into anything, it was about 1-2 minutes before I got my head chewed off by whats her name who you said was going over my head because she was basically trolling me... wow, how cool and socially advanced that is, too bad I'm not in on social faux pas and arent a fake smiley person who kisses everyones ass. The original conversation would've been over if it had ended more politely in the fucking first place, obviously. Thats why you two are getting backlash from me, I feel I was wronged and I spoke up.

[thesummerqueen]

So you hate the human race as it is now and you also don't understand what it means to have a nearly religious-like attitude towards a topic without it actually having anything to do with religion.

We gotcha. Movin' along.

No one asked you to kiss anyone's ass. It's your continued ability to find insult in just about everything that pisses people off - the original point of this thread being one. Your pissiness at my sexual preferences for another. Your irritation that two random women on the internet not wanting to talk about your pet passion being another. I'm sure others could list more. It really is breathtaking - and this is coming from the daughter of a lawyer and a Jewish mother...I thought I knew something about people being able to twist shit around. I stand in awe of you, sir. (Where's my sarcasm font, Tib?)

Also, she didn't chew your head off. She let you run around in circles like a dog chasing your own tail.

You have things to say, and you have passion, and I like that in a person, but sweet pea...ain't no one gonna care if you keep looking for the negative in every fucking discussion.

[Shell B]

I'm closing this piece of shit. Cosmic, please learn how to debate without getting pissy. As Summer said, you seemed to have promise. Loads of us have a bit of a temper on us. If you can learn to control yours, I think you'll be a nice addition. If you can't, I'll be happy to help you fuck off. We don't need threads like this that are particularly to call out other members. This is not that kind of place. If a thread has worth, it's worthy. If it's a pissing contest, it belongs elsewhere.

Summer, I'm having issues closing this thread, would you be a peach?

[thesummerqueen]

On it.
