...This from the dumbfuck who has resorted to changing people's text without notation.

You dishonest piece of human garbage.  I'm not shocked that you have a soft spot for objectivists.  They're really your kind of people.

Lie one, there was notation.

Misrepresenting my posts, now?



You useless piece of shit.

Not in the least.  I should really make a thread devoted to all the lies you tell about people you don't like.

Honesty is important Roger.

Yes, yes it is. So why don't you admit that you are a know-nothing? I mean, seriously, Roger made a plain statement about Objectivist beliefs. You couldn't grasp a simple statement that everyone else understood completely. Sorry, but honesty is important. So's intellectual integrity.

No, he flat out lied on Objectivist beliefs, and lost his shit when called on it.

[dared to question it when I made shit up.]

I'm going to take a break and KMFMS for awhile until I can post without being a complete fucking prick.  I may be using this place as an outlet for misdirected anger that is, while a bit cathartic at the time, completely unfair to everyone else here and certainly won't win me any friends.

-Pickle, going back to being a ghost.  And maybe posting good music.

Pickle,  you come across as a bully here.

Requia and I are relatively unpopular, so you unleash on both of us with full vitriol, swearing at us, calling us stupid, etc etc.

Roger, who is both popular and likely to retaliate several times over says similar things and you back down.

I didn't really have a problem with you before but this really bothers me.

Other people give me shit because they have a problem with what I am saying or because they don't like me personally.  You are doing it because I am an easy target and that's some bullshit.  If it was actually a problem with what I was saying you'd have launched into Roger the same way.

I must say, I am a little disappointed that DP won't go toe-to-toe with me over this shit.  It's good for the digestion.

As for Requia, EVERYONE bashes on her.  You can't help it.  She's an utter snot, and she's ALWAYS WRONG.  Hell, she dared to question it when I made shit up.

I was gonna go off on you, too, but you at least had the balls to post the above.

FIXED.  Honesty is important Roger.

So who wants to put down money that the anti birth control fundies will think its ok for a man to use this even though female birth control is wrong?   

I'll take that bet.

TGRR,
Knows the fundies oppose condoms, too.

I'm aware.  I also don't think they'll be able to pass up a chance to be hypocritical as fuck on the issue.

George Takei does the smackdown on Tennessee.

Are these your personal rules, other people's rules, or observations about song lyrics?

Also, an exception to number 1 if its the last one: there's a song, All of California and Everyone Who Lives There Sucks.

Good question, the site I got the key article off of has a nasty paywall if you aren't VPNed through a university.

It's     Valuing thoughts, ignoring behavior: The introspection illusion as a source of the bias blind spot. Emily Pronin, Matthew B. Kugler 2007, Journal of experimental psychology v 43 issue 4 if anybody wants to try their luck.


Or I could just try google: http://cbdr.cmu.edu/seminar/pronin.pdf

Study 5 is the stuff about eliminating the bias blind spot.

So I'm sure it will come to no surprise to anyone here that people are shit at recognizing bias in themselves, even when they're fairly good at recognizing it in others.  One of the more interesting things pulled up by studies of this is that people actually use different strategies to try and recognize bias in themselves than others.  For other people we tend to use naive theories of bias and so forth, for ourselves the default technique is introspection.  We use our access to our thoughts feelings plans etc to make decisions about our own biases.  This doesn't appear to work at all.

Well, I just found something really interesting digging through papers on that effect.  Apparently telling people that introspection doesn't work for recognizing self bias actually increases their ability to recognize self bias.  In fact it can outright eliminate the bias blind spot.

RPG Ghetto.  And yes (Though I don't think the mafia variation has been used, mostly Werewolf and Spiders).

Question: Why does Neil get so much crap over the dwarf planet thing?  Wasn't that some major vote?

Apparently, Rand is really interested in making the gun lobby happy, not trying to block the Patriot act.

I debated with myself on whether or not to even respond to this post.  I don't yet hold the sort of vitriol you get from others on this board, but you're doing yourself no favors ITT.

You apparently didn't read the link I posted originally, or the one in answer to Lord Snatch.

Oh, and forget entirely that The Washington Post would NEVER deliberately leave out the other amendments he's trying to get added and only focus on the one that would get a liberals' blood all a fiar.

Nope, would never happen.

They can remove liberties as long as they get those nasty people who want to have guns too, right?

They did in fact mention the other amendments.  I fail to see why changing the Patriot act to better reflect what he wants is worth a damn though.  Hell, even the ammendment that seems like a good idea, the one to require a judge's signature on the NSLs, moves it to the goddamned FISA court.

dislike him for his other positions, but he seems to be the only one on either side riding the correct motorcycle on this one.

Which is a great indicator of just how screwed we are.

Ron Paul is an excellent political barometer, if he says it should be done it will never happen, ever.

This isn't Ron Paul, this is Rand Paul.  Ron's son, who had his security beat up a woman journalist.

Whoops.  I'll retain some small measure of hope then.
