The SJW thread - Page 109 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I'm not talking about implicit bias. I'm talking about empirical evidence of real world discrimination. Some of it is probably implicit. Much of it is explicit.

Not denying racism is the first step in combating it.

The habit to treat it unseriously like the sushy joker all the time is helplessly transparent in short order.

White Americans are more likely to use drugs. Black Americans are more likely to go to jail for drugs. This is pretty common knowledge to people who pay attention.

there are no limits to freedom except when you begin to infringe on someone else's freedom. this is obvious and it's why i get frustrated when people go with "you like freedom bro? what if i want the freedom to murder my neighbor?"

there will be grey areas where it's not clear whether you are infringing on someone else. that's why we have courts.

i don't consider hurting someone's feelings as an attack on their freedom.

When you say "No limits EXCEPT" you realise you're making an exception, right? So I was right the first time round, there absolutely are some actions you want to curtail and that is, however you dance around it, a limitation on freedom.

And especially when you start talking about grey areas you're acknowledging that things aren't as clear as you first made them out to be.

I'm not telling you I'm pro-murder, or that you should be. I'm saying don't try to condense these things down into simplistic statements like "Democrats oppose freedom", because at some level that's true for everyone.

Great, this is huge progress.

So you think the research indicates one way, but you reject that research or its validity. That's good. But it does mean we're sort of done here since the only evidence I can provide is the stuff you've already rejected, and I'm sort of assuming that the vast majority of clinicians in the developed world have got this down better than you.

"Hey man I'm tired of this here penis, I think I wanna lop it off."

"Ok, I hear you but before you do that, talk to a therapist and/or counselor."

"Hmmm... Yeah, you're right, that's a good idea."

i don't! the opioid epidemic was caused by doctors and their inability to deny pain killers to people who are addicted.

i can't really comment too much on UK politics or the healthcare system. it's nothing like ours.

but i do know that the doctors in america have to tread very lightly. they can face lawsuits if they deny care in certain instances. i'm guessing they tread ultra lightly in cases where it's very likely any resistance will result in a sexism or discrimination accusation.

Seems like the developed nations' clinicians have a consensus that can't be explained away as them all having the same politics or cultural problems all at the same time. If it's just a US doctors being afraid of lawsuits then it doesn't explain the consensus elsewhere.

And IANAL but I don't see how you could sue a clinician for not offering a treatment that isn't recommended by the research.

Ugh, annoying that we have to do this one. I mean come on.

No, you may not kill and eat someone because they have the freedom to be not killed and eaten. This is where the constitutional government comes in. We can have government sponsored cages where we lock away those who want to kill and eat hearts.

No, NAMBLA may not molest children. Because the children have the freedom to not be molested. I actually support the right of self identified pedophiles to assemble and have some kind of therapy or support group, though. It would be better if we could just ship them off to an island but that would be a violation of their freedom.

I consider this a form of lying to pretend like you think the term "freedom" encompasses killing and molesting. don't be so dishonest.

Where do you traffic so that you're seen as the smart one?

it's really strange and bizarre how often the left blatantly lies. it must be unintentional and subconscious at this point. even the smallest point can't be conceded. "actually, bernie isn't a socialist." you have to be in the serious grip of ideology to say something like that. reality be damned.

he says he's a socialist, i think that's pretty good evidence.

You're ENTIRE THING HERE is doing just that.

Literally 1 sentence in between.

So, augie_, much more interesting that all this is why you decided to pick this weekend to bizarrely start trolling this forum.

I mean, you're obviously trolling so plz accept the compliment gracefully.

See how freedom works? you condescending dummy.

your version of freedom is to utilize the government to point a gun at anyone who would hang the NO BLACKS sign in their door. wow, you're so tolerant. how about you just don't eat there and tell your friends not to eat there.
