I've given up on trying to teach anyone here anything (They gave Socrates hemlock, now this guy.)

Posted on 02/12/2006 7:39:47 AM PST by a true thinker

There's no helping you. This site is now just a diversion -- like a train wreck. This site is inherently for and about raving egomaniacs, and Jim's site policies -- which amount to excluding reality and actual dialogue in favor of political/militaristic pornography -- is conducive to cognitive dissonance, which at the times your worldview is threatened leads you into psychotic breaks (on the political cognitive plane, that is, and just maybe in other realms too). Not to mention that your baseline politics is based in mythology about American demographics, science, economics, ethics etc. You spoonfeed each other in the first place, so rationality on FR is always constrained to small scope matters. (You try to make up for this by shifting rapidly to things on which you share prejudices.)

FR is a purist's dream illustration of Kant's opinion that "Most people claim to be thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices." The name of the site is an Orwellian joke -- the only freedom truly here is the animal kind the uncivilized insist on, the only 'res publica' of interest is of acting in conspiracy to screw the public good for private gain, the only laws and people you truly like are the ones that permit/protect the anarchy, parasitism, and thievery you prefer, and immoralism is the true religion you espouse. FR is a mismanaged zoo, really, and I like coming here on occasion -- the sights are alternatingly horrifying and amusing, but always a reminder of what the Enlightenment was a fight against.

Best wishes.

Sheesh! This is your first post and your calling others names and such.

You should have at least a few post under your belt so we have something to read other than your own (hopefully temporary) rantings.

Make some solid statements on the worlds current actions or something tangible so you can at least be picked on once.

Just not fair to play this way, and signing up today also...

Elitist leftist. Adults don't come here to be subject to "teaching." We come here to discuss and share views. The word "convince" would be more appropriate. You need to "convince" people of your views, not "teach" them. Citing philosophers doesn't make you intelligent. It just makes you a phony.

They just don't make trolls like they used to

I know. The Mod Squad has left this guy's account alone but still...not a peep. Trolls used to be so tough and resilient. I guess they fear the Kitties.

Honestly, the trolls HAVE to start getting more creative, they are truly getting tiresome.
