having more intelligence

of course I think Edward Norton hugging meatloaf's man-boobs is a nice way to end a post.

so what do I know

 

Stupid is universal.

it's just I realize it and you don't.


a whole lot of people thought charlie manson's "teachings" weren't stupid to them

but, guess what. they were.

 

thank you lol

 

She's arguing that I'm being shallow because I'm arguing that all people are not equal because people who are RADICALLY mentally retarded are not intellectually equal to people who, well.

aren't.

and that makes me shallow.

I'm sorry, I'd say that's a metric fuckton less shallow than using a picture of oneself to "sign off" every post.

 

I dunno...
you measure worth by intellectual capacity?

 

No, I measure intellectual capacity by intellectual capacity.

worth Is not equal to equality.

we do not give mentally deficient people the right to own guns, we do not give mentally deficient people the right to vote in some states

And you're telling me equal?

Mentally deficient people cannot be tried for certain crimes BECAUSE of their mental deficiency

that is not equal

saying we are all equal, and all created. born, with equal chance to learn, and equal capacity to learn, is bullshit.

it's being PC

and so many of you who bitch about how everything is too PC are unwilling to actually examine this?

I call bullshit

and then I'm told that I'm the one who just repeats back whatever he hears.

THAT is insanity. and if you were not for the most part inside of it, you would recognize it, of course. it's not fashionable to say that retarded people are retarded. because they have vibrant spirits or some shit. (which, really, no more people in any community have Vibrant spirits, or any quality beyond minor drifts associated with economic, and not statistical correlations)

 

He isn't measuring worth, just intellectual capacity.

 

yeah dave, we get it.
retarded people are retarded.
mentally deficient people have a different set of rules to play by because they are mentally deficient, not because they are worth less, or are not of equal worth with someone who is not mentally deficient.

sounds like a value judgment to me

 

I see where you're coming from in a way but I don't think you needed to bring it into the picture. You're better than this.

What is this forum becoming....?

 

You know what this is?

it's CRAP

and I refuse to stand in it. so, if I have to be an asshole, to try to make the newbs, and the dilettantes pay attention to what this place COULD be, I'm okay with that.

I do care about what RT has the potential to be, we have enough good people here, we just need to climb up out of the cesspool we've made for ourselves sleeping in our own shit day after day, and start making it a forum worth posting in again.

Yes, I am better than this, and I look forward to enjoying my posting again, as a reasonable poster, until then. We have to fix what we have broken.

 

I want to, too.

I'm cleaning up a bloody mess in the Dreadlocks forum right now.

I'm feeling really down about this entire site right now

Skip won't respond to any of my emails and I'm a damn mod.

 

it'll all pass
ride it out with me
you'll see

sad thing?

he doesn't know who any of us are. He can kick you out of here without a second glance at all the intelligent and useful contributions you have made here.

maybe he wants to destroy this place. that's his prerogative I suppose.

 

wow... how naive of you to say.

and if it's not naivety... well then you're pretty damn inconsiderate. A lot of us really like this place... or at least what we know it can be.

 

I think that you are losing it big time.

 

yeah i like it too so whats the big deal here? hes taking shit out of context
