Proof?

You sound like a sociopath. I never said you had to use emotions in either case. I pointed out which would make more sense. I enjoy my emotions, especially in certain situations Wink Shades not so much in others.

Again, is there some list of "bad" words here that I am not privy to or are you generalizing? The reason I ask is that I cannot really participate in this conversation until I know what you are bitching about. Smile

Actually, you don't have to use emotions in any of those cases. You either spend time with the person or you don't.


And "Actually", her emotions dictate which decision she makes, it is not a question of whether or not she spends time with someone, but whom she chooses to spend time with out of a myriad of options, her desire to experiencing pleasurable emotions and the relationship of the people in question with these desires are paramount in making the decision.

I'm sure she has lots of options of people to choose, but she doesn't need emotions to make the choice.

Of course they do.

You could possibly express that mathematically if you knew the values of every single member and how they relate to the words in question but that is a ridiculous thing to solve for.

Calling you a "White Dickhead" is not mathematically provable to be harmful.

I'm actually quite picky. I prefer using my emotions to make the choice. It makes the effect so much more fulfilling. For example, say I had to choose between two men to go out on a date one night (I realize that makes me sound vapid. I have never had to make such a choice. This is for the sake of argument). If I choose not to use emotion to make the choice, I could wind up with a total putz. Even if I do use emotion, I could wind up with a total putz, but at least there was something about him that I enjoyed.

It doesn't matter if math can prove it harmful. Say he was particularly sensitive to slings regarding his race or his dick and it made him depressed. There you have harm. Things like race, gender and white penises Wink Shades are not something a person can opt out of much, can they? Therefore, it is assholish to sling insults regarding these things. Yep, that's emotional. Nope, it can't be described by mathematics. Either way, you are subject to those rules. Tough titty.

Very close, but I'm much to smart than to go killing people even though I have no shred of respect for anyones pathetic emotions.

So?

Oops. I must have confused bad words with "bad" intended phrases.

Sociopaths are typically pathetic, but that's okay. They also don't always kill people.

You are still being entirely unclear about your gripe. Did someone piss in your Cheerios? Are you unhappy with the language you are expected to use around here?

Catch-phrases and thought-stopping phrases don't work on me.

You and all of the atheists here are no better than those religious idiots. You all go for emotional reasons whenever it suits you.

No? Name me one other reason she would choose to spend time with one person over another that does not reduce to emotions.


Quote:Duh Not objective.

I never said they were. Experience IS subjective, what did you expect?

Quote:Calling you a "White Dickhead" is not mathematically provable to be harmful.

Then why the fuck did you ask for proof to begin with?

And while you can't mathematically prove that a certain word is harmful you CAN determine which words to permit to appease the most people, it is a function of the number of people, their values and the words in question. It's much the same way two people decide what Pizza to get.

Oh, I see. You're just being a cry baby bitch. Here, I thought this was a serious conversation. You know, sometimes I get awful tired of trying not to insult flaming jerks like yourself when all you spew is this bullshit about how you're repressed and everyone else is emotional and bladdy, blah, blah. Yeah, people do what suits them. It's called being human. I sincerely doubt you are this nonemotional Patrick Batemanesque character you seem to wish you personify. If you were unemotional, you would hardly bother flaming this forum.

Only because you have been brainwashed by society. I'm sure sociopath do not understand emotions and possible mathematical reasons which accompany those emotional ones.

Example.
I can't say "

" without getting the ban hammer.
End of example.

Here, people actually listen to whatever I have to say no matter how radical or unpopular it is.
