To Do or not To Do 11 years, 3 months ago
A big red button in front of you. You know with certainty that if you pushed it…people would stop believing in Gods … (though some would still believe in woo of all sorts). Are you tempted … to say “yeah…let’s push it”? Would you? What would keep you from pushing it? What would the world be like if someone did push it?

To Do or not To Do 11 years, 3 months agoI agree. Prejudism is a learned trait whatever the subject matter. I was just trying to clarify a confusing statement 🙂

Davis replied to the topic The outing game in the forum
To Do or not To Do 11 years, 3 months agoI understand what he is trying to say. You cannot choose to be gay but you can choose to be a homophobic-homosexual. You can choose to be an activist against racism but you can also choose to be a secretly-racist activist against racism. The first part in each phrase doesn’t matter…it’s the latter part that does. The difference (per the first…[Read more]

To Do or not To Do 11 years, 3 months ago@Davis. Re your huh?, I was also busy huffing, but I had another read of Unseens comments and I realize he is simply pointing out that racism and being gay aren’t comparable in that we believe we are born with our sexual orientation, whereas we learn racism.

To Do or not To Do 11 years, 3 months agoAny attack based on hypocricy is ipso facto an ad hominem tu quoque. In other words, “You say one thing but do the opposite.”
No…this falacy applies to debate on a particular topic (which is not under debate here). It does not apply when considering the weight of someone’s opinion in a decision making process, as a leader or as a rep…[Read more]

Davis replied to the topic The outing game in the forum
To Do or not To Do 11 years, 3 months agoJust read Davis’s reply to this, and he brought up some scenarios, completely different from outing a hypocritical bible thumper (the situation I had in mind when I wrote the above), where outing is not only appropriate but downright necessary (e.g., exposing an enemy agent of influence in your ranks).
And so…outing someone who works against y…[Read more]
