I’m not ‘erasing’ anything. I’m clarifying. I thought it was a given that life experiences shape our brain. I have no issues clarifying. That’s kind of how conversations work.

I never said it was set in stone from birth. Only that his brain was fucked from birth. We have life experiences, too, which also go on to fuck people’s heads up. That still doesn’t mean that free will exist. The fact of the matter is that if you were born with Hitler’s brain, and had Hitler’s exact life experiences,…

I’m going to ask this sincerely: why not extend the same empathy towards people’s brains? The reality is that Hitler had a completely fucked up brain, free will is an illusion, and anyone that is ‘evil’ is simply evil because of processes happening in their brain in which they have no control over. His brain and dick…

Saintly?

Luckily (and hopefully) your son’s condition was fixed without complication so he doesn’t go on to kill six million people.

Your comment reads like a parody.

When I was about 9 or 10, I saw two male dogs of my buddy fucking like crazy, licking each other’s dicks, and all sorts of awesome stuff. They were utterly selfless lovers with no care as to the parts of the other dog. There was even a massive cum shot.

If you really believe that, you can probably find incredible odds on that bet. I think you're crazy.

Overwhelming respone? Get serious. I live in the middle of America and work for a place that is filled with conservative and white Christians (people I disagree with on nearly every topic), and I’ve literally seen or heard one person I know have any issue with Beoynce’s song/performance. The skit is funny, but the…

You’re the dumb and terrible type of liberal that seems to believe that the best way to solve the issue of privilege is not to extend that privilege to everyone, but rather treat the privileged in similarly shitty ways as the unprivileged. You’re basically saying that Darzin’s point is correct, but he should just shut…

You’re a dumb person, and your first paragraph confirms it.

Yes. The idea that a trade can only be judged by its outcome, regardless of the likelihood of said outcome, is really, really, really stupid. For example, if Pau Gasol had a career ending injury as soon as he was traded to the Lakers, does that mean the decision of Wallace was a good one? Does that mean the trade was…

Yeah, but no one thought that Marc Gasol would be that good at the time, not even the Lakers nor the Grizzlies. So, while history has shown it wasn’t a terrible trade, it was an absolute fleecing at the time.

More responses. We’re going for a record here.

So even after saying bye twice, with a sweet gif, too, you still had to come back?

So, you admit that arguments stand on their own regardless of merit, yet fell the need to claim all this stuff about your thesis, work in Kenya, and your credentials? Pretty telling, as it clearly indicates you didn’t think your ‘facts’ were strong enough to make your case.

“I wrote a thesis!! I’ve been to Kenya!! And because you can’t prove that a random internet commenter hasn’t done these things, anything I say is true and correct!! How dare you question my credentials!!” - Socks

Throwing a fit? That’s funny. If anyone threw a fit here, it’s the person pretending they wrote a thesis on something in hopes of it buttressing their argument. Kinda pathetic.

Fair points, but let me ask this: if Indonesia was largely secular, would we still see these practices? I’d venture ‘no’ very strongly.
