Re: newhizzle tells the story of the missing 200k (brandi Xpost)
[ QUOTE ]
b) Who are you to say what is a valid belief and what is a misguided belief? Your post (although it doesn't directly state it) implies that you personally believe BluffThis is misguided... This is an example of intellectual arrogance. The prevailing view in society of correct beliefs and misguided beliefs changes every few decades and enforcing the current fad view is no different than supporting lynchings in the 1890s. [/ QUOTE ] this is kind of the whole point. a bunch of people express their opinions, and express their opinions about other people's opinions, and eventually maybe people's views are refined and developed and we all end up better people. my point was just that there was nothing wrong about those of us that thought bluffthis was being a dbag calling him out on it -- its not being overly pc or anything like that, its an attempt to refine our discourse [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] also, i disagree with the idea that there's something noble about expressing an unpopular view simply because it's an unpopular view. if it's unpopular view because it's repulsive, he doesn't get some sort of rhetorical gold star just because he "had the stones to say it." at least not from me.

The thing about bluffthis was that he was an idiot. If I really need to explain this to someone then youre probably an idiot too.
