Comment on The flaw in “racial profiling” for terrorists by amerikanbeat

Duncan–Yes, “profiling” is a kind of “description.” (Duh.) So I don’t get your distinction there. Certainly, it isn’t clear how it contradicts anything I’ve said. (That is, it isn’t clear how it could be a response to anything I’ve said.) The question–rather–is whether applying this particular “description” in the way we call “profiling” is productive as opposed to counter-productive. I’ve done the work of providing an answer to that question. If you have a counter-argument, I’d love to hear it. But what you’ve provided so far is piss. Tell us how employing the kind of “description” you have in mind is actually worth the effort. Respond to the goddamned argument. Or fuck off.

If it walks like a duck……….You call it profiling. I call it a description. Wake up, sheeple.

Comment on Marxism (sort of) and “ethical” vegetarianism by amerikanbeat

@Marxist Hipocrisy 101 Let me paraphrase your position here: You don't like veganism nor Marxism. Fine; you've declared this. Can you argue for it? Interesting putting the "101" in the title--suggesting a lesson is to follow. But all we learn here is the contents of your mind. Nothing like *reasons* accompany. So I don't know what to do with this. It's interesting that you have these feelings on the matter, I guess. Thanks for telling me, I guess. But I'd love to hear something like a case made as to why these feelings have general merit. That is, why I (or anyone else but you) should give a shit. [But I bet it won't be good. (a) "Collectivist totalitarianism"? I don't think there could be such a thing. (Maybe that's your point--given the above, I have to speculate; but I bet you're just saying such a thing would be bad.) If it's collective, who's doing the "totalitarianising"--and over who else? And if they are, doesn't this mark a social division incompatible with what everyone has ever meant by "collectivism"? (b) Vegs and Marxists "turning on each other"? This implies there is, or was, come mutual affinity between the two. (You wouldn't say that cops and thieves "turned on each other.") I don't get where you get this from.]

Vegans are uninformed, hypocritical idiots, and it’s asinine to let sonmebody devoted to a genocidal and anachronistic form of feudalist collectivist-totalitarianism like Marxism dictate your morality for you.

Though it is amusing watching the vegs and marxists turn on each other here like the senseless animals you are, considering at the end of the day you’re all the same sort of propaganda-spouting, authoritarian shitbags.

Comment on Reflections on the National Socialist “Stand” in Knoxville by amerikanbeat

@Amalek:

(1) We both know you didn’t read this. There isn’t a single sentence in the post that aims to “debunk WN.” That simply isn’t the point of the piece. It’s about opposition strategy rather than reasons to oppose. The latter is just assumed.

(2) I’m as WASPy as they come. A real Hitler’s wet dream.

(3) Bring that round trouncing. I eat Nazis for a living.

Dude, you have put forth none less than a heroic effort if only by sheer weight of verbiage in attempting to debunk WN. Nothing that could not be roundly trounced in refutation I’m afraid, but kudos none the less for producing one cantilevered masterpiece of prolixity after another. This high-octane verbal turbine of yours, it wouldn’t be of Ashkenazic provenance, would it?

Thanks for posting this, bro. I wondered how things turned out. I enjoyed thinking through the practical and ethical implications of the various tactics you discussed.

Comment on A Critique of Behe, Dembski on “Irreducible Complexity” by amerikanbeat

It is more complex. I was responding to someone’s angle, so my response is equally “angular” (partial, narrow). Thanks for the reference; when my immediate interests swing back around to this issue, I’ll remember it.
