The world would be a safer place if someone who is the recipient of an initial physical attack could defend themselves to the nth degree with impunity.
Once that jackass politician touched the kid, all bet’s are off, he should have handed the guy his own liver.
I take it we’re still pushing the “kid” angle? :rolleyes:
Dumbest idea I’ve heard all day. All a guy would have to do, a guy with murder in his heart, would be to provoke someone enough so that they try to punch you, and you can kill him. With impunity.
It’s that “Might makes Right” mentality, which usually runs hand-in-hand with “I needs to defend my Honor!”
I’ve seen that work in a lot of westerns.
I don’t hate Rand Rover.
He’s guilty of not being as funny as he thinks he is, though,.
Rand Rover? Never heard of him.
Even in the Pit, there are limits. That was Ed’s whole point with the “cunt rule”.
And, by your own summary, you admit saying you bet his daughters are sluts. When you learned that you’d wagered on young children being sluts, you amended that to say you think they’ll grow up to be sluts.
In the Book Of Oak, that’s over the line. In real life, I’d consider it an invitation to violence. On a message board, it’s inappropriate. I’m not nearly as controversial as you are, but it’s fair to say I’ve had my share of heated exchanges here. I don’t like Dio, as I mentioned above. I doubt he’s my biggest fan. We’ve argued in the past. We will likely argue in the future. But at least I respect him enough as a human being that I’m not going to insult his children. That’s just wrong.
And we’ve reached the core of our difference of opinion. A person with Dio’s political beliefs deserves no “respect as a human being.” He’s gutter trash.
Look in the mirror, precious.
And that is why objectivism will always fail. You guys always let your inner self peak out from behind that facade of reason.
I did. I found a person who likes to order his affairs with other people based on exchange for mutual benefit, not someone who wants to take from others by force but is too cowardly to do so himself.
My inner self? I’m someone who wants to benefit others instead of take from them. How’s that a bad thing?
That is not the inner self you let slip above, junior.
So what is it?
This reveals who you really are. You are incapable of reasoning with your politcal adversaries, so you dehumanize them in a vain attempt to avoid confronting them.
It requires no further explanation. But it is why you will always lose.
You really think someone that disagrees with your politics deserves no respect as a human being?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I reason with the likes of Dio all the time. It doesn’t do any good, because they aren’t interested in reason. They are interested in violence.
I didn’t say that anyone who disagrees with my political beliefs deserves no respect as a human being.
Is this still going on? Sheesh.
It’s long since ceased to have anything to do with the OP.
It’s all about a troll and the people who feed it.
For those not paying attention, Rand Rover, political hack and shit stain of a human being, is the troll.
