Quote:First off, I don't give a fuck what you feel over it - if you are so petty and rigid as to be unable to take a few insults peppered among logic, then I feel quite justified in saying the internet, human society and rational discourse with anyone except for those who agree exactly with you is not for you.
Your rage is awfully cute. You're the one sitting here getting your panties in a knot over the fact you've been disproven by people who know better than you, I suggest you take your own advice.
Quote:This is an internet forum. Get the fuck over it.
Practice what you preach.
Quote:Are you sure you live on Planet Earth?
Quite sure.
Quote:People also get upset when they stub their toes, have their dog die or be the unwilling strawman of an opposition so intent on being right that they've lost all perspective.
That last part-no. See, when people know they have nothing to prove, they don't tend to get that upset. Look at me-I've been doing exactly that.
Quote:Your hatred is pretty toxic to me, as for others, I wonder if they feel the same.
What hatred? Exactly what about my message screams "hatred" to you? The part where I'm rationally making points and not cursing anyone out or calling anyone names?
Quote:It was cited as an example for society to focus on in order to reduce the risk of others performing rape. Goes to show you cannot grasp the how these systems interact.
Then it was off-topic as our discussion was about the victim, not society.
Quote:Lock the door. Know your neighbors. Consider that criminals will do anything to get in. The possibilities are boundless - there are always things you can do to make it more difficult for a criminal to get what they want, and most criminals cannot be bothered to crack a tough nut.
Most of those "criminals" are people you know. What's locking a door or knowing your neighbors gonna do against a relative that you live with?
Quote:LOL wat?
Figures you wouldn't get it.
Quote:Then you have no sense of perspective. Thank you for clarifying.
I'd say the same for you seeing as how you can't seem to understand that some, not all some things (such as rape) are a matter of black and white.
Quote:Many people speak ill of the dead all the time. People hold funerals to grieve, not because the dead person is getting their jollies from beyond the grave.
Only reason one grants dying wishes is to make those last moments of that person bearable, doesn't mean you have to do it, only give the appearance of it.
And those people are often vilified, what's your point? Exactly, the person isn't getting their jollies from beyond the grave, but you still grieve anyway, meaning their honor matters whether the corpse itself cares or not. And no, it's not about making their last moments bearable since plenty of those "dying wishes" are things the person won't even live to see. My grandmothers' was for my mom to have children-she never would see it happen, but my mom did it anyway because it matters, whether my grandma can see it or not.
