Before you read my response, note that I grew up in the inner cities slums of New Orleans and Baton Rouge. My sister and I were once the only white kids in the entire elementary school, and our hair was always oily from all the kids touching our fine hair from behind. It was irritating.
Wow - sounds like you had it really rough - what with them black folk touching your hair and everything
You sound to me like a borderline trustafarian - over here the PM's wife (aristocrat Samantha Cameron), used to make a big noise about when she used to hang around with Tricky - back in the day, when she'd slum it as a student in the wrong part of Bristol. Tricky has to this day never heard of the woman - let alone played pool with her
I tried to have many friends who are black.
Yeah - and I tried to have some of my best friends as gay
As George Carlin says, "I'm tired of these rock stars dealing with their cocaine guilt by saving a forest somewhere", arrogant white people are dealing with their socialism debt and colonialism guilt by saving nature (of races). It is just more irrational bullshit. What they are really saving is their socialism system that enables them to have their cake and eat it too (but this is coming to end with $150 trillion global debt). The socialism is going away folks, and you are too. Reality check.
You really need to educate yourself buddy. Have a look at Adorno/the Frankfurt School and the "culture industry" - you might then have some understanding of why the patronising ramblings of egotistical rock stars have absolutely fuck all to do with socialism - and indeed, if you are able to make the connections, why in turn socialism has absolutely fuck all to do with the US driven debt problem.
We recently had floods in the UK due to a shift in the jet stream and exceptional levels of precipitation. I suppose this had something to do with "socialism" as well, right ?
My Great Aunt Minnie just found a hair in her soup - them bloody socialists at it again I'd say
A longer penis means the women were having sex with more men, as the longer penis would have a better chance of depositing the sperm deep and greater change of spreading the male's genetics.
Hold on a minute
Wouldn't this mean that the women would have had to have had sex with fewer men, not more.practicaldreamer is apparently too dumb, obstinate, or lazy to understand the linked math.
- and you are surprised that I don't have the desire to engage/play the game ? I'd much prefer to let you play with yourself, so to speak
FWIW I read the article - you were, as indeed I was, educated to first degree level (to a greater or lesser extent) in Mathematics - nothing more than that. So I understand the language, if you like. But all I can see is a disjointed rambling, without a clear or cited aim/intention - the majority merely describes what we already know, but attempts to link it altogether in a way that is clearly tenuous and over ambitious.
In short, I'm not sure there's many here has the slightest idea WTF you are going on about. It doesn't help that you bandy about terms such as "contentionism" - a term that yourself and Coincube only dreamt up together a couple of weeks ago (you aren't the same person are you ?) and yet today seem to think that everyone is au fait with the term. You can see the problem can't you - you are making utterances in what is essentially a private language - it won't wash I'm afraid.
Its all well and good all these types of threads - I mean, its quite a spectacle and everything - but I do worry that people new to this forum will view Anonymints voluminous postings and think Bitcoin is some kind of cult, its forum populated by whacko's.
Still, I don't feel good about keep butting into his threads like this - if for no other reason than I'm merely feeding the troll.
Looks like the ignore button might be the only option left here I'm afraid. As William James said in the Unheresy link, The essence of genius is to know what to overlook.
