Who said anything about animosity? I think it's totally awesome to judge individual people based on what groups of those people do and have done for hundreds of years. Yup. Nothing wrong at all about making vast, overreaching statements about groups of people based on a mix of pre-conceived notions of how those people are and individual events involving some people within those groups.

Who said I was judging individuals? I was making an observation about groups based on what groups of those people do and have done for hundreds of years. How do you form an opinion about a group - based on what they intended to do?
 
The line of reasoning for your "observation" is the same type of reasoning that leads to someone making statements like "brown people are terrorists."

What percentage of individuals throughout history that identify as a member of an Abrahamic religion actively endorses wholesale "intolerance/opposition" to other religions?

If 99 people in a group of 100 are criminals, is it okay to assume the 100th person is one as well?
 
Does the hundredth person share the same metaphysical belief system as the other 99?

Then yeah. If we're putting money on it. We're talking people, not coin flips, so elementary concepts of basic probability and independent events don't work here.
 
Wow... come in here for some piping hot prejudice.

By these standards, GitMo was okay, as most of those guys were criminals and they all shared the same religion?
 
Your hypothetical did not account for anybody who was not criminal. You don't get to add qualifying information that you did not provide in your original scenario in order to say someone is wrong or put words in someone's mouths.

A: Is going to the public park okay?
B: Yeah, I think so. If the weather is nice.
A: SO YOU THINK IT'S OKAY FOR MURDERERS TO NOT GO TO JAIL?
 
My hypothetical did not account for anyone sharing the same "metaphysical belief system" - you added that in to attempt to justify your prejudice mindset.

And yes, the hypothetical *did* account for the possibility of "non-criminals" as the question was clearly "is the 100th guy a criminal?" meaning his status as a criminal or non-criminal is undetermined.

Solid proof of media disinformation:

(Article dated Aug. 17)

On the ballot Romney remains in a strong position. He leads all candidates with 36% of the vote. However, Perry, making his first appearance in the NH Journal poll, debuts with a strong 18%. Ron Paul continues to impress despite relatively little media attention with 14%. And Bachmann earns 10%. All other candidates were in single digits.

shrug. maybe you're just looking for an internet fight, I dunno. As a Ron Paul supporter, you certainly aren't afraid of embracing some quack-ass conspiracy theory.

But here's the thing: I'd love for the media to focus on Paul. Get Paul and Gingrich and Bachmann out there as the top three GOP candidates. That would be a wonderful, epic shitshow. Shotgun blast after shotgun blast of eyes-buggin-out-of-your-head-like-a-tex-avery-cartoon crazy coming from those three.

I'm not interested in silencing Ron Paul. His supporters never want to admit this, but he's incredibly unelectable. He's batshit insane and his ideas, philosophies, and policy proposals are such an incredible deviation from the status quo that he has no chance of enchanting the fickle idiots we call "swing voters." So any media conspiracy theories must certainly not be geared towards blaming us on the left. We'd love to have him as an opponent. Because he can't win.

Yes, he's anti-abortion. But he wouldn't legislate against it. Same with same-sex marriage. And he wouldn't kick out illegal immigrants, just stop giving them benefits (which is part of why they come here).

He actually supports quite a few traditonally left-wing views, but since he's out to destroy their sacred cows of income distribution, forcing everyone into a single social class, and propping up every poor/vulnerable/suffering country around the world no matter what the situation is at home, well...

I agree he's unelectable, but not on a basis of support. As there's no way he could ever have a landslide victory, a close finish can easily be turned against him via rigged electronic voting (standard preemption - get out teh box o' foil, Billy!).

Many support this VERY flawed system because of the chad-punching incident, but why not just use paper & pencil? Canada (a socialist paradise, even with a "conservative" government) does. :whistle2:?

Which is fine if you're from liberal Taxachusetts because laws there won't apply elsewhere, but if you're in Texas where he's from, you better not want an abortion or gay marry because he'll hang up that noose before he lets rape victims get abortions and dem queers ruin the sanctity of Christian values marriage.

I saw a Soviet Flag flying in Winnipeg once. There's a restaurant here that sells books promoting every form of communism ever known. Jeff Daniels said Winnipeg's "like Buffalo, except communist". Huge downtown poster and annual stage play promoting the infamous 1919 Winnipeg General Strike, which was organized by communists. Every public library here's got a very prominent shelf of very communist graphic novels. The U of W, which is filled to the brim with very stereotypical young lefties, is spreading like a disease across the downtown. At least half of the buildings downtown are either occupied by a government agency, were built with help from the government, or contain businesses receiving government subsidies.

ETC. :evil:

P.S. I hate capitalism too. I tried discussing Social Credit (an inflation-proof, barter-like economic system) on here once, but nobody was interested... :/
 
I can admit Ron Paul is unelectable, but he's also the only candidate in my adult life that I've been close to excited about.

It's hard to convince 300+ million people that have dined on feces their whole lives that it's not good for them and there is something better - until after they get sick. I'm mostly resigned to wait until that point.

I know well enough about the social construction of the DSM; us liberals have long decried the DSM's inclusion of homosexuality as an illness. Though we must thank its legacy for introducing us to the need to challenge authority and question experts.

Szasz does not oppress; another free market wanker who sees the state as the sole possible source of oppression.

Now, if you want to compare Ron Paul and Paul Krugman as a means of saying "well, insanity is relative," I've got news for you. One of those two people believes that nation-states arguing for austerity policies in the light of economic woes are wrong-headed, pointing to economic data from nation-states currently practicing austerity as a means of supporting their evidence. The other believes in the "NAFTA Superhighway" and the secretive, pan-state collaboration of several North American countries to develop one currency.

Just saying.

The main thrust I'm getting at here is that you made an enormous, unqualified statement with huge implications (Canada = socialist utopia) and then backed it up with "I once saw a red flag and have met a bunch of wannabe commies at college parties".

You later throw in a token reference to "health care spending", but fuck, seriously? Think a bit harder about your surroundings before you go and use them as the basis for such absurd assertions.
