The problem is, years ago it was german shepherds that were seen as the bad dog, people who wanted 'tough' dogs got them. At that time, german shepherds had the worst record for bites. At various times the pattern has happened for doberman pinschers and rottweilers. Now pitbulls. So if you do...

Fixed, having a dog in your house capable of killing you (well, mine is 85 pound malmois shepherd mix) is about as dangerous as having a roommate. Less so probably.

Yep, this. One of the main contributing reasons to Pitbulls being involved in so many vicious attacks are the type of owners that are attracted to pitbulls. Every gangbanger and wannabe wants to get a pitbull. Go to any dog shelter in a city and 80% of their dogs are pitbull mixes abandoned...

So if Barristan is really dead, my guess is this was done so Tyrion/Jora are the ones that hold Meereen together while Dany goes joyriding on Drogon. Wonder if we will see Yunkai siege Merreen at all at this point.

If Sebudai is going to take a stand against Tanoomba's racism, then clearly he needs to be on-call 24-7 handling every incident of racism on rerolled or he is a hypocrite. Holy fuck Tanoomba is dumb.

He's tearing us apart, Lisa!

I mean, Tanoomba has it in him to be someone that actually is constructive in conversations. He used to be one of my favorite posters, even if I disagreed with alot of his stuff. After ever big thread where he got beat up though, he turned to more and more of a "just a devils advocate trying not...

I would say the hope is that yes, he stops shitting up threads with his posts and goes back to trying to have actual conversations with people. Now, you are having an alright one with him, but the minute he hits that thread he will immediately go back into AnitaWhiteKnight/Wu "everything is...

This makes zero sense to me. Saying someone has intrinsic worth, doesn't seem to imply at all that if someone has power over a person, they should be able to take away that worth.

Fairly tame picture, but still...

Between this and candling, I'm starting to think people are just looking for an excuse to stick shit up their kid's rectum.

Shit is fucking heartbreaking and makes me so angry at the people that push this shit. I get why the parents want to believe it, they are grasping at anything, but the charlatans that push it disgust me. Unfortunately, sometimes the charlatans and the parents intermix (like the father in that...

Is it ethical to introduce your fiancee to console gaming instead of PC gaming? Rerolled

You have convinced me. We really should be calling this something different than a game. My objection to rating it so highly is I don't think it is something that should compete with other Game of the Years. However, if you put it in best interactive story of the year, then it gets to compete...

I think the distinction about it being a game is kind of beside the point. The problem isn't Gone Home, which from all accounts is a pretty decent story or interactive adventure or game or whatever you want to call it. It is when you have game reviewers go crazy over it simply because it has a...

Should get her to play on a PC, she is probably more comfortable with a mouse/keyboard than a controller. Also, you know Tanoomba is going to throw shit all over you right?

I gotta hand it to you Lendarios. For page after page, Cad and Hodj argued back and forth and no one could get them to stop. Then you brought up TCM, such a horrible example of ethical medical practices that you managed to get them both to agree that it is clearly unethical. Good show, though...

Basic fucking ethics is not to harm or scam people with bullshit. TCM is overall a scam, is harmful and is bullshit. This is just scientific fact.

As usual, Tanoomba misses the ENTIRE POINT. Yes, ridiculing people will radicalize the crazies. Who cares, these people won't change their mind regardless of what you do. However, what it does do is make other people embarrassed to associate with them. It exposes other people to how silly...

Comparisons like this have been pointed out to tanoomba time and time again. I like the young earth creationists one though, as Anita really is trying to put her shit in schools. Tanoomba is immune to any of this though, he is far too entrenched in his own asshole.

Yep, if we had all just shut up and let her and game journalists dictate to companies what gamers are and what types of games should be allowed to be made, the world would sure be a better place. Oh wait...

Sure, of course they can replace meals. However, their many other claims sound like snake oil bullshit to me. One containing "lean muscle" capsules, ones that will make your skin glow, one with "fat melter" capsules. Whatever, if the SJW were attacking them for dubious supplement claims...

I'm pretty sure Cad agrees that there is a biological tendency towards a certain moral structure. I know Hodj agrees that there is a biological tendency towards a certain moral structure. So I'm not sure what the disagreement is really about, if we get past the strawman armies.

Gotta love how Tanoomba tries to point out similarities between Anita and Protein World, even though he has done pretty much nothing but defend Anita for hundreds of posts and immediately attacked Protein World. I am not sure this distinction exists. Looking at Protein World, looks like the...

Wrong sir. Science is about winning a debate on substance. Lawyering is about just winning.

You are being silenced because of this... Yep, jumps in and tries to go back to his constantly repeated point of "any attempt to protest idiocy inadvertently helps the idiots", again and again and again. Never moves on, will concede a point only to argue against that point the very next day...

You be craycray. Cersei is widely despised by tv show fans also and she is in some ways more terrifying in the tv show. Things like her almost just randomly offing LF in the show make her seem if anything, more unhinged.

Last few times I took weed, I got EXTREMELY paranoid. One time almost attacked a mcdonald's employee because I was absolutely convinced they were calling the cops on me. Maybe it was just bad weed.

Fraud confirmed.

Please post your SAT's also.

Pfft, go to grad school bro. Real work is for suckers.

You basically called him a liar about that, so apparently you do care. Regardless, triple majoring in very related fields is hardly that unusual such that the default implication would be that he is lying. It is really just about using all your electives on required courses in the other...

Anthropology is nothing but ditchdiggers putting on airs. Seriously though, studying ancient cultures is awesome. I really wish we knew more about the bronze age civilizations before the Catastrophe. Just so much of history is almost blank since they didn't have written history and/or little...

I took one course in intro anthropology (my "diversity" credit) and it was pretty cool. Filled with moral relativism though. Witchcraft, Oracles and magic amongst the Azande was a great read though and something every atheist who ever has to argue with theists should check out.

I'm just quoting this so you can't edit it later on.

There is pretty much fuck-all in common between someone choosing to be gay and someone choosing to murder or violate some ethical constraint on them. That you think people should somehow view both of these under some consistent lens is pants-on-head retarded. However, not shocked to see you...

Come on bro, you know no one is saying something like that. On the other hand, there is certainly a biological underpinning to empathy and protection of children (among others). Which could, indirectly, make a scientist stop doing research or make a culture decide collectively to stop doing...

They may be relative to a certain extent, but there is a strong biological underpinning to them also. That is what Hodj is arguing.

So finally I got around to watching the video Hodj linked on morals in animals. Pretty awesome. Some people believe strongly that only humans have ethics, morals, even a sense of fairness. This is pretty clearly bunk. Much like how people used to believe that only humans had emotions. Just kind...

Sitting in a faculty meeting for 3 hours because of a back and forth argument over one fucking sentence in a proposed new PhD track. The matter wasn't resolved and instead was tabled to next semester. At this rate, in 20 years the whole document might be complete!
