Capitalism Rules, Socialism and Communism Suck Thread

BAN

Are you asking for it? 'Cause I can do that for you, ya know?

Should I remind you that you and I operate under absolutely different rules, here?
Because you're here at my leisure, not the other way around.

Great debate tactic stalin

Is there rational content to that string of words?
Are you asking me to debate you on the topic of banning?

That's really close to you trying to push my buttons, now isn't it?

This is the game you're choosing to play?

You seem to be the one hungry for a game. So....your move.

You've led this conversation by the nose. Don't pretend I'm doing so.

I called you out on your response to the Yale research. I walked you up to a rational response and you turned away.
You said things exposing you don't know what science is or does, and I've corrected you, as a professional scientist whose studies the philosophy of science and the soft underbelly of consensus that rests on the foundation of careful effort. You choose to remain ignorant on that. OK. No longer my problem. I've offered you a rational path, and you once again turn away.

You then brought up this topic of banning. Though I'd twice already said, let's not. Rather, let's just be friends. Just don't push buttons and everything will be great.

Now you're pretty much pushing my buttons by bringing up the topic at all. Calling me stalin over some fantasy of a debate and all.
This is a path you're laying out brick by brick. If you want to change the subject, please do.

If you want to be treated with respect then treat people with respect.
You want me keep posting, here? Deal with me slinging poo while you rebuild the trust between us that you've shattered by your own actions.

Or are you just looking to burn another bridge and blame the bridge for being flammable?

My advice to you is to drop this conversation entirely. It only ends in you getting banned.

I explained this to you twice, and so did poop. The yale guy can't know the number of crimes. The data he needs is illegal to collect. Believing him, would be IRRATIONAL.

as a professional scientist

You blow up soda cans.

Just don't push buttons and everything will be great.

It's impossible not to trip over a button with your sensitive ego. Im not even gonna try.

Now you're pretty much pushing my buttons by bringing up the topic at all.

Do you begrudgingly accept that walls work? Or do you find fault with the methods of the heads of border patrol?

You want me keep posting, here?

After you tell me whether you begrudgingly accept that walls work....no I don't.

rebuild the trust between us

Wut? Why?

My advice to you is to drop this conversation entirely.

You're the one who keeps posting about it.

You said, "ARGH ARGH ARGH, My gut doesn't like it." That's not explaining anything but your gut.

Yes, and I countered that you both made arguments to discredit his conclusions without investigating his methods.
If you're prepared to throw out the 25M number because you're discrediting his conclusions, that's rational.
If you're prepared to accept that whatever the rate of crime among illegal immigrants is half because you accept his other conclusion about the 25M, then that's rational.
It is not rational for you to pick and choose which conclusions which you accept based on how you feel about it.
Poop accepts that. He's a rational person.
You didn't. You're not.

You blow up soda cans.

I know! It's awesome!
I get to teach people about Maxwell's Equations and show them that there are so many cool and interesting and often really fun consequences like blowing up soda cans or playing with a Tesla coil.

Living the dream. Instilling joy in science in the next generation.

What do you do again? accountant?
I bet that's just great for you.

It's impossible not to trip over a button with your sensitive ego. Im not even gonna try.

At your own risk.
I've never done anything without a perfectly clear warning about the consequences of repeating it.
I've never been called out by anyone but you as to the respectable way I moderate the forum.
If you feel disrespected, it's because you're being disrespectful.
Change, and see change.

If you want to apologize for the way you've treated me and this forum, that'd be a good way to open the conversation without pushing my buttons.
You left here a total asshole. You came back after being banned and acted deplorably. So deplorably that you got ong to ban that account. ong who was never in favor of you getting banned. You burned that bridge.

You want to come back here like nothing happened?
Sorry, but no.
You treated us all like shit, and that has consequences.

So frankly, fuck you and any notion that you should be allowed to waltz back in here as though none of that ever happened.

Do you begrudgingly accept that walls work? Or do you find fault with the methods of the heads of border patrol?

Walls work at what, exactly?
What is the work that walls do?

After you tell me whether you begrudgingly accept that walls work....no I don't.

Good riddance.

You're the one who keeps posting about it.

I'm responding to your questions and other statements which are clearly directed to me on this topic.
and I've repeatedly advised you to drop it, as it's a dangerous subject for you to broach. Partially because you can't control your emotions. Partially because you've already shown me that offering you any leeway in good faith is a mistake.
