Frank Discussion on Hate

[Paul the Human]

We aren't talking about that hypothetical society. We are talking about our society. In our society, racist extremism is frowned upon, to say the least. You are creating arguments out of thin air by taking words and phrases and changing their context. It really does nothing to further the discussion. In fact, it clouds and derails and avoids the discussion.

Nor am I talking about a hypothetical society. In fact, there are some societies that outright shun technology... such as a number of Alaskan 'native's. "Our" society is a confused construct too... there are many societies to which I belong... and they are not necessarily the ones to which you belong. (And so on.)

Heheh! Okay Sae. If you say so, who am I to argue? All I was saying is that when someone makes a statement and you know perfectly well what was meant by that statement - what the point they were making is - it is nothing more than word games to take that statement, expand the definitions of certain words, alter the context of the statement, and then make an entirely unrelated (to the original point) statement in return. That is not a valid method of countering a point, in my opinion.

Of course... that would depend on my definition of 'valid'... and what I mean by 'definition'. Heheh!
