FWIW, Velocity just posted something extra-dumb over there and thinks he scored a point. This is me, showing restraint and keeping my response here.

> If a Chinese restaurant serves stray dogs, and someone writes about it as such, it’s factual, unless you’re saying facts are racist. FYI there are still some people in Taiwan that as of recent were eating dog meat, although it is indeed an increasingly discouraged activity.

In the same vein, if Velocity fucks chickens and I wrote about it in Great Debates, it’d be factual, not insulting, unless you’re saying facts are insulting. FYI, there are still some people in the world who fuck chickens, although it is increasingly a discouraged activity.

You know, Velocity, **the racist joke had nothing to do with a Chinese restaurant serving stray dogs**. No restaurant IN CHINA serves stray dogs (that I’m aware of). Nobody has cited a restaurant in the US serving stray dogs. You’re throwing up a bunch of goddamned irrelevancies so you can smirk about how I probably consider facts to be racist.

If your nose was a chicken it would cluck a lot. But your nose isn’t a chicken, so let’s stop throwing out the stupid fucking counterfactuals, hmmm?
