VPNs and proxies are so freely available these days that it's a very difficult problem stopping people who are dedicated to online abuse. I freely confess to being a multi-accounter myself, and although I find it tempting to argue it was a reactionary behaviour because people were doing it to me, in reality I don't have any excuses. If it's wrong for one person to do it then it's wrong for everybody to do it.In a debate based completely on theory I would probably argue that extreme free speech is a much better alternative to extreme censorship, but I have seen the results in practice here, and they are not good. Short of calling in a tech to improve site security, Create Debate is going to remain crippled by trolls who think they have the right to sabotage all attempts at reasonable discussion.Just read through the debate list. It's really not indicative of a healthy place.I feel for Andy. I really do. I completely understand why he has all but given up. When someone has literally nothing better to do with their day than figure out ways to abuse a social platform which would have been a dream come true to people living just 50 years ago, there aren't many options. You can either give up or stoop to their level and waste your own time (not to mention money) installing countermeasures.Unfortunately, it is the behaviour of people like these which has resulted in the era of mass censorship which has now engulfed the major platforms like Reddit. A few bad grapes can quickly turn the whole bunch sour. They won't ruin Reddit because Reddit has the infrastructure and finance to stop them, so instead they come to places like this. They come here to take advantage of the fact that CD is a one man operation without the resources to prevent them poisoning the site with hate.I for one am angry at the ingratitude. They could easily live somewhere or sometime where their opinions are repressed. Instead, they are given remarkable tools to communicate and discuss affairs and all they want to do is use them to attack each other.
In my opinion, I believe capitalism nurtures and rewards the feeling side of the brain. The part which is irrational. In most people (perhaps all people) the feeling side of the brain is the dominant side. This has the added benefit of explaining why socialism, a system founded in reason, does not perform so well in practice.Of course, scholars and philosophers have been warning against being dominated by the feeling side of the brain for at least ten thousand years, but let's not concern ourselves with that.
This kid needs a forced psychiatric intervention. He/she literally needs to be restrained, sedated, and then moved to the nearest secure mental health facility. FromWithin is next level crazy.
A photography project has highlighted the extent of ice loss from Iceland's glaciers.A team from Scotland and Iceland compared photographs taken in the 1980s with present-day drone images.They focused on the south side of the Vatnajökull ice cap, which covers about 7,700sq km of land.Dr Kieran Baxter, from the University of Dundee, said: "We saw a staggering difference in a very short amount of time."https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-50160039
Iraq protests: 24 dead as mass unrest descends into violence.At least 24 people have been killed in Iraq during a fresh wave of anti-government protests that have descended into violence.Two of the dead were reportedly hit by tear gas canisters fired by security forces in the capital Baghdad.Reports say half of the victims were killed while trying to storm a militia group's offices in two southern cities.Hundreds of people have been injured in nationwide protests that erupted on Friday, reports say.Protesters are demanding more jobs, better public services and an end to corruption.Similar protests earlier this month were brutally put down by security forces, leaving nearly 150 people dead.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-50181212
This is an absolutely fascinating conversation, which I believe is thanks to Firas having a lot of patience with Joe. Firas goes into depth about the history of philosophy on a number of different issues. Joe frequently tries to object because of his own conscious biases and/or ego (which is what Firas is trying to explain to him in the first place) and unfortunately ends up looking like a bumbling idiot completely out of his depth. Firas ends up looking like a wise zen master.
I mean, the green skin was unfortunate, but not an absolute deal breaker. I don't remember her being attractive by the time Dorothy turned up. Sad what a lifetime meth habit can do to your face.
I wished him a nice day and he tried to burn me with his eyes. Birds fell dead at his feet. Thunder sounded in the heavens. I shut my door and went about my day, thinking him rude and confrontational.
This is a new breakthrough interpretation of quantum mechanics which the experts are now calling bipolar theory, where it is postulated the ultimate nature of reality is to contradict itself so many times it eventually implodes and creates a singularity.Long time Create Debate member Mingiwuwu is credited with the mathematical solutions which derived the new theory and is expected to win a Nobel Prize for his breakthrough.
In a debate only they can comment in, so they can pretend to each other that they understand what they are talking about without being corrected. Both of you are seriously mentally ill.
Apparently, that doesn't mean, "There is no point in being a centrist as it's more or less the status quo".Apparently, it means "There is no point in being a centrist because the centrist position is fruitless in modern times".Ahahahahahahaha!What a goddamned complete idiot.
She makes me uncomfortable and her angry, abusive tirades are extremely threatening and unpredictable. It is my right as an American not to feel threatened, so I am well within my jurisdiction to put a bullet in her from close range. God said so and I completely agree with him.
She was babbling erratically and making very threatening hand gestures. Feeling that my life was under imminent threat I took the only sensible course of action and stabbed her in the eye with a butterknife. This ended her violent melee but unfortunately I think I hit an artery and she left quite a mess.Could anybody recommend a good cleaning service please?
I have explained to her many times that, as a Satanist, it is part of the tradition of my religion that we eat the raw meat of Christians. She REFUSES to permit me to do this peacefully, and CONTINUES to harass me and undermine my religious rights.I have the right to practise my religion and she is interfering with that right. Therefore, it is only fair that we throw her down a mine shaft.
1) "Iranian bombers".The men were not Iranian and they didn't bomb anything.2) They owned a "bomb factory".No bombs found. No evidence found of any bombs being produced. No charges filed.3) It was a "Hezbollah owned facility".Four residential properties in North West London. Ordinary houses.Every time I bust the clown for lying he bans me. Every time.
If you've ever read about chaos theory you'll know that slight variations in a system's early conditions can lead to vastly disparate outcomes. I like to think that in our alternative timeline Trump washes cars like Biff did in Back To The Future. George Carlin is still alive. He's president, in fact. He won on the back of his pledge to build more mental institutions to put all the religious people.RIP George.
