[Platt] Yes, we know you have the patronizing attitude that blacks are victims unable to fend for themselves and must have whitey's "help."
[Arlo] Moronic rhetoric. [Platt] Yes, we know. The other recourse is to treat blacks like other peopleof goodwill -- as equals. [Arlo] Let me know when this will happen without affirmative action laws and I'll lead the charge to abolish them. [Platt] That's what I said. You are in the postmodernist camp that advances its ownconcept of truth while simultaneously denying there is such a thing. [Arlo] Yep, happy to be in Pirsig's camp. [Platt] Name the qualified scientists who continue to argue the world is flat. [Arlo] Not "qualified" to you, of course. But to people who want to believe the world is flat, they are unbiased experts fighting an ocean of round-earth propagandic bias. [Platt] What's your point? That scientists can make mistakes? Scientists can support a political agenda? I agree. Global warming is a great example. [Arlo] What percentage of the world's scientists support global warming? Oh, wait, its a conspiracy of evil, deceptive libs. [Platt] You accept the science that supports you agenda but reject the science that doesn't. I see no difference between your "evidence" and mine. [Arlo] There is far more evidence demonstrating the social-construction of fear rather than "I hate blacks because I am genetically predetermined to do so". [Arlo previously] No, you are evil for your continued use of distortive and vile rhetoric. [Platt] Now your use "inane dichotomies" you constantly preach against. [Arlo] What "dichotomy"? Now you aren't even making sense. [Platt] Your attack on individualism is self-evident. And you put words in my mouth never said. Talk about vile and despicable rhetoric. [Arlo] What words did I put in your mouth? And as if one cue with another vile rhetorical trick, you present the notion that the ONLY consideration of "individualism" is the simplistic and idiotic position you espouse. No, I've long argued for rising above the moronic dichotomy of "individual" and "collective" and instead focusing on the activity-embedded "individual-in-collective". But since this assails your moronic notions of the Lone, Heroic Individual battle the Evil Hordes of Leftist Collectivists, of course you have to make ongoing moronic statments like "your attack on individualism". [Arlo previously] Don't say moronic things like you just did above and I won't have to. [Platt] Why do you "have to" if it's self-evident? Sometimes, Arlo, you reallyare hilarious. [Arlo] Okay, you got me on this one. I don't have to, but I am compelled to out of shame and embarrassment. Now, honestly, take the last word, I am done with this thread. Arguing about the genetic origins of racial hatred and rehashing your Holy War for the umpteenth time is something I have overdone, and in the process lost some of my own Quality. I am going to devote more time to finishing Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. A good book, if you haven't read it I recommend it.
