I lived in a public housing complex from age 1-8, during basically the entire 80s, as a child of a single mother with a father that wanted nothing to do with me, and whom I've never actually met despite the fact that he lives like 25 minutes from me. Nearly all the other people in the public...

Counterspells aren't even that good against modern combo decks. Discard spells are better. It's a little weird.

Inkmoth Nexus, Mirrodin Besieged (MBS) Price History I doubled my money, and I could have doubled yours.

I haven't been having any of those problems at all.

I need to post in the magic thread, let me the fuck out of here.

Sounds like the dude tried to fuck an underage girl and jizzed his pants before he got the condom on. Pwnt.

What about the jews?

This site is so dead without my contributions.

Everyone should go make fun of astro in the GoT thread.

jews did 8/11

Let me out so I can discuss this NBA rape culture. Also lol bad day for black people.

Petition for early release.

Someone ban khorum for me.

Do not rob me of my last remaining joy facsimile.

I feel rehabilitated, let me out so I can argue with khorum.

Someone tell the Diablo 3 thread it's up. Or unrickshaw me.

I like how frat boys (all sophomores and higher) are 'children' that should be excused for their behavior, yet freshman college girls are 'adults' who don't need their sexual autonomy protected. Sweet double standard on this board.

So all those rape chants that people have recorded frat boys chanting don't exist? I mean it happens every fucking year.

A lot of it is, sure. The rape culture apologism really particularly disturbing to me personally, though.

You mean they get jobs in corporate America, and corporate America already controls so much of what is considered acceptable speech.

You keep coming back to this same stupidity, as if I it's my decision. What matters is the court of public opinion. We went down the rabbit hole of talking about Overton Windows a few days ago. If the SJWs drag the Overton Window on acceptable speech to their side, and your only...

That's precisely my point. My point is that if that "massive civil disobedience" comes in the form of banners that say "LET'S HATERAPE [ALL THE PEOPLE WE DON'T LIKE]" you're going to fucking lose. You're going to actually need to come up with worthwhile speech to put up on those banners.

I agree that the corporate-ification of American society is likely a larger threat to free speech than SJW backlash. But god forbid the two start teaming up meaningfully, and we're already seeing that happen. You'll have to do a lot better than planting your flag on Roosh V's hill of shit if...

I have no idea. I've spent so long trying to crawl out of a pit of suffering I've literally forgotten what pursuing happiness is about. Schadenfreude is a good replacement for joy in a pinch though.

I swear like a sailor and I'm pretty fucking racist. But I don't think that's an acceptable public discourse. You're missing my point entirely, as usual. If 'free speech advocates' keep pushing the envelope on what level of inciting or hateful or otherwise degrading speech is acceptable...

Another person who just plain fails at reading comprehension. I'm talking about changing attitudes for what's acceptable public discourse. Remember bathroom stalls? Back in the 80s and 90s, or before that if you're old enough. Literally wall to wall vile shit. And then some miracle...

The reason I don't like SJWs is because they are reactionaries also. They display all the same behaviors. Progressives don't act like this. Progressivism has always been been incremental, about laying the social groundwork for change before pushing policy, and then trying to make sure the...

I have no down the school will deal with them. They have to keep theirstudentscustomers happy.

Maybe if people didn't act like absurd reactionaries all the fucking time, and actually tried to aim down the rational center of an argument, it wouldn't be.

People love porn. Hate, not so much.

Okay, so you at least see the fucking argument here.

No one has to decide anything, I'm not talking about changing laws, I'm talking about changing attitudes. If you spend all your time defending vulgarity and hatred, people (very organized people with sympathetic ears throughout the fourth estate) WILL use that opportunity to try to take your...

I believe that he was duly punished for the crime he pled to, and served his time according to the law, and reformed given the avenues available to him. And also that WotC is an evil corporation who only cares about their bottom line. I make money off of MTGO, but I don't give WotC my money...

So you're willing to endure the backlash of a generation of censorship if it means 'winning' against the SJWs in the end? You really think that kind of dramatic pendulum swinging is preferable to the restoration of civility in public discourse?

Slippery slope arguments work because, despite the fact that they're LOGICALLY unsound, most human beings aren't particularly well known for their logical reasoning skills. Slippery slope arguments work because that's how human societies work, political biases work in terms of pendulums with...

You get to pick your battles and you ultimately get to pick the hill you want to die on, metaphorically speaking. I don't understand why you choose to plant the flag on top of a pile of shit. There's plenty of offensive speech out there with real social value. Go pick those hills to make your...

Oh I can distinguish perfectly fine. All of you keep making that mistake, as if I'm too crazy to understand the different. I understand the difference just fine. I just don't know why anyone would waste their time defending valueless speech.

The castration/murder thing was fucking irony, idiot. You idiots will go out of your way to defend people who spout vile, hateful, and violent threats, until those threats are turned against you. In fact, everyone in these gamergate communities is so vehemently in favor of free speech until...

I just knew that was the best way to get rickshawed.

I've tried to kill myself dozens of times. It never works, at least from my reference frame. I blame subjective immortality.
