  1. Don't thrust the burden of proof onto others. When the argument descends into quibbling like this, it's over. At this point you have enough to look at for an alternative opinion. Hope it helps.
  2. You're trying to apply logic to an argument very deeply involved with emotion. Using Trump and ISIS as comparisons isn't valid because they aren't anywhere near as personal, that was what I was getting at. Forgive my poor wording if that's what you'll hold against me. The personal aspect is what makes the emotional damage so much more devastating and more important, there is merit to considering the larger picture but it is a dangerous thing that can negatively impact your mindset, which I think we're seeing here, and it also doesn't mesh with the smaller details of these groups of people. Seeing as your logic relies on horrendous blanket statements, let me posit that the ISIS forces have cooks. Soldiers have to eat right? Well, those cooks are supporting the soldiers efforts, yes, but they could have a myriad of reasons for doing so. Maybe it is faith, maybe they just want a job. Maybe they only know how to cook in that environment, who the hell knows? You don't, your logic doesn't work when you move along the scale. It's not so clean. Look closer at a situation and it just doesn't work. I know a lot of trump voters who decided he was the lesser evil because of what they have seen and head of Hilary. They judged that Trump was a safer bet than her despite the way he conducts himself. There's countless more examples but it goes to show that you can't just say these things unless you commit to going out there, talking to and understanding why those people do what they do. If you do that I will bet any sum of money that you will see that you just can't make these statements and believe in them so much.
  3. There you go, twisting things to fit your perspective. I didn't assume anything, I listened to what you said and factored that in to what I can understand, literally quoting you. You can have another perspective, you clearly do, I'm trying to put across another viewpoint for you to consider based on your words. I'm also not denying that Trump votes can hurt you. I'm not denying that, I'm saying that there is a difference between the two actions. Your assumption that I was simply proves that you're being hypocritical as you accuse me of doing the same thing. Surely that is another indicator that your thinking process here is flawed? You're not entirely wrong in that you have a choice as to what to do with your body but the consequences of that choice can hurt people in a more significant way than casting a simple ballot would, there is a certain notion that you owe those people consideration before taking action, at least, if not holding off for their sake as much as your own. and I'm sorry I understand what you're going for with the batman quote but... Batman? The only person you should really quote is Heath Ledger and that's mainly cuz he was a fantastic actor and a good impression of him only adds to the world.
  4. Well first, voting for Trump isn't even a proper parallel to emotionally wounding someone who loves you, you're clearly trying to deflect this into another kind of argument. Anyone with the ability to understand emotional context can see the difference there. Second, I don't know if you can comprehend emotional context if only the action matters to you, certainly you don't seem to be trying. You cannot understand someone properly without it, otherwise you just end up skewing things your way to fit your own perspective. There we see the loop connect back to how you seem to be caught up in your own superior opinion.
  5. You act as though people who voted for Trump factored you specifically into their vote. When I say you shouldn't hurt people I was pretty clearly implying the people near to you, not someone halfway across the country who has no bearing on you. You can't twist what I'm saying so blatantly and then expect me to take you seriously. The General idea when people disagree with you is that there is genuinely something wrong to be seen. Maybe you're so wrapped up in your opinion and adverse to other viewpoints that even after years of thinking you're incapable of looking at it another way. Either way, it's clear you're feeling defensive now and I can't say much more with a productive outcome.
  6. Yes, this four man game started badly but you know what WE BROUGHT IT BACK. Still wasn't an S.
  7. The meatspin is also an option. So is firing ping pong balls from down under. Sure, other people have done it but that is never an excuse for you to do it. That's just an excuse to save you from thinking for yourself as far as your right to do it. I haven't a doubt that if you thought critically about your life you'd find that the possibility of your life improving is a better bet than venturing into the next shitshow of the cosmos or that there is someone who would care if you were gone. If you hurt someone else with that act then you do have a responsibility to take care of yourself.
  8. Not drinking coffee entitles me to being smug when I keep pace with those who do drink coffee.
  9. Treat life like a game. The farther you get, the higher your score. I've heard rumours threw even a NG+ mode called Reincarnation. I can't say I agree with much of your conduct around reborn, you have an overwhelming penchant for pessimism I've rarely seen rivaled. But different strokes for different folks. At least you're somewhat open to discussion.

  13. Disclaimer, this was in another personal topic in the nightclub. Putting it here as an extra opinion for you to possibly consider in the panic. Ok, on second thought, I was going to leave it at that with a fairly blase hand wave to someone else but it would be irresponsible of me not to put down my thoughts on one of the most historic events I've been alive to witness. When I first woke up and saw the results my stomach fell away. I am a white man in the UK, as far removed from the damage Trump could cause as almost anyone could be. This says two things. Either the media has done a damn good job in painting him to be a threat or, this possibility trusts my sense of a person far more, he genuinely does pose a threat. If not to me then to people I care about. That said, there is two sides to every story. I have met many people I do not personally like but are still perfectly competent. I have been wrong many times about how bad a situation could be. I have seen moments of kindness fro people I didn't expect it from. Words are all too easy to doubt and I do indeed doubt what Trump said in his victory speech but if he can conduct himself as a gracious victor, something I never expected, then maybe he can conduct himself as a president should. I do worry for marginalised groups and I've been blase about the issues they face in the past but I do think there is considerable risk here. If not directly because of Trumps actions then indirectly by his influence. Riots caused by upset minorities, emboldened moves by bigots, a gentler social view towards prejudice. There is division in america clear even to an outsider from across the pond and that divide may widen before it narrows. Two things need to happen as I see it, putting aside where Trump may lead the country. The election system needs to change, it should not be so divisive. Next, we as a generation of people, everyone living right now, needs to learn to recognise that, as surreal as it seems, we are genuinely making history and a certain amount of seriousness needs to be brought to bear. Trump was dismissed as a joke for so long. He was very much underestimated. What if he had been taken seriously as a candidate earlier on? Maybe people would have looked at the other candidates more critically and maybe there would have been better people up to bat. Who knows? Sorry if this is perpetuating the repetitive drag of this topic but I can't just sit silent. As I said, this is a historic day. A scary one.
