I wonder when the open join us here invitation to 500, Bob, Comicdonna and my main man Randal is going to come to fruition.
Some real interesting open dialogue can result.
A Banner invite is optional. Tfitz, someone else can invite him. I pass. Useless. He never says anything that would produce interesting open dialogue.
Comicopolis cracks me up. Hair up his azz still, all these years after I presented a case for requiring cyclists to have the same insurance level and requirements as an automobile. The guy went berserker. Never interacted with the fellow otherwise. Well, not quite true. I had his posts removed a month or so ago. I said so, though, so what the heck? I try to be honorable. I will tell you I am doing so and not hide it.
It should be a standard rule that if reporting, you have to publicly announce.
I publicly and openly told moderation they have standing permission from me to state publicly every time I reported someone and why.
So, come on over, fellows. Here is your chance. You would be welcome.
OK, OK, I guess Tfitz can come over and play. I want to be fair.

I've never seen someone who's so proud of being a dirty button humper What else do you do for fun, sit at your local stop sign and call the cops on people who don't come to a complete stop?

You would be welcome. OK, OK, I guess Tfitz can come over and play. I want to be fair. I'm in a PM exchange with ttfitz. He won't come here. We've pretty much stopped talking because he thinks I'm biased and taking Cuomo's words out of context because I said that Cuomo was pivoting when he said that they can't wait for a vaccine or herd immunity and need to reopen NYC.
If that isn't a pivot I don't know what is.
The irony is that literally every single CGC chat forum member who is opposed my posts, your posts and the posts of others who are more moderate still don't believe that Fauci said not to wear masks on March 8th 2020 on that 60 minutes episode and then backtracked on his word even though it's clear as day.
It's not only clear to anyone who is unbiased, EVEN ALL FACT CHECKING SITES AGREE THAT HE SAID IT and contradicted himself.
The main problem presented by Tristan Harris in The Social Dilemma, an ethics expert in the movie about how social media is corrupting society, is that people disagree with each other so much that the average IQ and problem solving capability of society is being reduced to a level that is crippling society.
And it's happening because people can't be honest with themselves or are willing to entangle with anyone with an opposing view point with any real, intelligible discussion.
If we can't agree on simple, black and white, clear cut things like Fauci opposing himself even when fact checking sites agree with it then how can we agree on more nuanced things like discussions on public health, human suffering and how we feel about each other?
People like that are only interested in opposition and winning...and none of them would join here because
A) the don't have CGC moderators to tie one arm behind the back of anyone they disagree with and B) there are no numbers to hide behind
That's exactly why jsilverjanet hasn't returned since I challenged him to 'man up' and just speak his mind.
I'd have no problem discussing anything with them but it's impossible to do when moderation has a target on my back.
Most unfortunately, what they see as victory by silencing a few people is a huge loss for everyone. Not only does it not fix the root problem (the disagreement) it makes it worse because nobody changes their minds, people get entrenched deeper and nothing gets solved.
It's like they believe that censoring the right in the US is going to stop the right from pushing back. Nope. It's only going to get more ugly and lead to civil war. Life always finds a way.
Ridiculous. And more importantly it's saddening.

You are biased. Who cares? What a petty complaint. I know I've lost a few IQ points reading your posts. I know you lost a lot of IQ points over the years🍺 You need to post something intelligent first. Another pathetic and disingenuous supposition. Wrong.
Wrong again. Ignoring the attention whore works better than engaging him.You could try following the rules?Silencing you would be a huge win for everyone. Then you should give up your Quixotic quest. It's sad how much time you waste on this stuff.

And Dr.F suggested for everyone not to wear masks at the start because there was a shortage and they were needed more desperately by first responders,medical staff et al. Roy how can you be such a hippy dippy but seem to have such right leaning American political ideas ,ideals?It's a farking contradiction of self. It really seems you love the want to be cult of personality and I just don't get it. barry!If that's who I think it is what's up folenfarkin friend?

It really seems you love the want to be cult of personality and I just don't get it. barry!If that's who I think it is what's up folenfarkin friend? Yes, we know why he said it. The point is many people still say he didn't say it or that it was OK for him to lie about it (which he did - lied about masks not being useful for the general public and then he reversed his stance). So my point is that if he'll lie to you about one thing he can lie about anything.
Society is so funny. They think they catch one person in a lie and they crucify that person forever more if they don't like them.
But if they like the person and that person lies, it's not only accepted hook, line and sinker they actually try to cover up the lie and elevate them to some God-like status. That's what hypocrisy looks like!
------------
But to your question, where is the contradiction? I'm neither a liberal nor a conservative politically. In fact, I've been apolitical my whole life. I only care about what's true not which side is in power. Anybody who blindly worships one political side is the problematic one because they're so biased they'll never see straight. It's a fact that you need a balance between both sides for society to flourish just like your brain needs a balance between left and right sides for your body to function properly.
I spent 4 years talking about how many exaggerated lies Trump told (but we couldn't talk politics on the CGC forum so nobody heard it) but now that he's out of office there's lots of Liberal stuff to talk about between Biden and Trudeau. Those two are both career liars with corporations that they answer to out of the wazoo and what the liberals are pushing publicly I believe is destructive for society. In the US the left controls the majority of all media. That's not a good thing.
Most people can't see past their own personal politics (and I mean that sincerely about MOST people) because most have never challenged themselves on it. They just accept what feels good blindly.
------------
As far as Jordan Peterson goes, I think he's a brilliant guy who has his ducks in a row and his facts straight. What don't you like about him?
Most people on the left say they 'only use the science' while at the same time they are changing the science so as to eliminate traditional science from universities. Isn't that a contradiction?
I've listened to plenty of debates between intellectuals and I have yet to hear one that really has anything concrete and scientific that opposes Peterson's ideology.

So you'll just choose whatever side you can argue with folks about to get attention and talk about how great you are and what quasi celebrity you had a degree of separation from at some point.
Does tth2 know that you're broadcasting his private name on a public board?Wasn't it agreed that that was in poor taste,here or there?While I'm sure he and I would not gel in a person to person situation,other than at a con,I'd rather have a phone conversation with he than you.He at least admits he has a sense of elitism rather than talk circles and somehow fit in something he hopes will make folk think he's cool or 'woke' Anyways,I came by to see if peeps were talking comics,see if there was a coles notes of the drama next door but it's just a lot of hogwash wahwahwaaaahmbulance of how you're mistreated....and that Hitler shìte? jebus herbert crisp-do you not see how bloody offensive that was in hindsite?What were you thinking?Never mind,I don't wanna know,but I'm sure there'll be a wall of text if I check later. I've spent the last few months catching up on as much of the last thirty years of Marvel and DC thanks to the dollarama now having trade collections for three or four bucks.Get's to be an expensive buck stop when they have forty to fifty different books.Anyone know what's up with that?Gob,I've read SO much Superman and Batman..ugh..but some of the art was just fantastic. And Wonder Woman rules! Sorry stevedanslaville,besides two 1000 page Best of,no Archie-oh and some sci fi cover stuff I found last time we weren't in lockdown.I'll try to get pics for you 💙 Stu,if you see this,I'm gonna message you soonish!I have a gift for your boys if you want

A lot of people like Peterson at some point, but start to dislike him over time because he isn't spreading plain facts and information but rather using seeming facts to spread ideologies and beliefs (in my experience, at least). There is an important distinction since there is a lot of research out there able to support nearly any opinion. So, when people say that he is publicly sharing cutting edge findings I'd have to disagree. Just an example of this is how he (has) talks(/ed) about IQ and personality traits, sometimes on gender basis, where he neglected to mention the very important nuance that both IQ and formal scientific personality classifications are determined in highly biased manners in most cases, which is often by the mere fact of how psychological research is conducted. Peterson's popularity is a symptom of a generation of young white males born into a world that does not hierachically favour them. I wont clean my room, we're not effing lobsters!If the blacks in the civil rights movement were taking more time to worry about cleaning their rooms,getting their houses in order than demanding the right to vote or other civil liberties,where would we be now? I mean as long as his lectures spark and intellectual appetite for Nietzsche and Dostoevsky he's not so bad,but his there's no white privilege crap he can shove up his arse.

I mean as long as his lectures spark and intellectual appetite for Nietzsche and Dostoevsky he's not so bad,but his there's no white privilege crap he can shove up his arse. OK, but you've conflating several things at once, which people commonly do when in fact you have to take each point on it's own and establish it's veracity.
I'm not saying he's the 'be all and end all' but I've spent a few years listening to a lot of debates between him and opponents, so I feel like I'm getting a good 'breadth' of Peterson exposure and not just a biased one where he is always right, and honestly I never find anyone able to pick apart his science and shred him on it like you would in some debates.
I'm aware of the difficulty in separating nuances in any line of thought. I've spent my entire life on the boards trying to explain that to angry board members who hate be because they want simple explanations when there aren't any in real life.
As far as Lobsters and cleaning your room, you're again not keeping them in the proper context.
He never said cleaning your room would bring about reparations for slavery, but what he did say is that if you take the time to take care of your own surroundings first, for yourself, and remove clutter and disorganization, you then reduce your own energy drain and stress which allows you to go into society to be more productive. How can you possibly disagree with that? That's a principle that ANY motivational speaker or self help worker will teach you.
And as far as lobsters, he's saying that evolutionary there is a hierarchy built into nature that dates back to before humans, for millions of years. So you can't remove 'hierarchy' from nature. In fact, if you remove one hierarchy, another replaces it. Again, true when you take his message and keep it in the context that he uses it in.
Civil liberties? In the West, despite what's happening on public media and the narrative being pushed, we live in the greatest time in the history of mankind. We've done more for civil liberties in the last 50-70 years than in the previous 10,000. Now people want to erase the last 70 years and they think they can just 'create' this uptopian society out of thin air? It will never work. It took us millennia to get this far. You can't create a millenia of work in just a few decades and build something completely different.
I think you don't like the direction the narrative goes with his thinking and resist that in spite of all the evidence that he seems to be correct in so many things.

You literally make no sense to me.
I don't need attention and I never talk about how great I am but if people take it that way, that's their own insecurities and perceptions speaking to them.
You've obviously got some pent up issues with me and that's fine, but it would be way cooler if you actually quoted something specific and addressed it respectfully the way it's supposed to be done.
I was angry at tth2 and moderation because there were about a dozen board members who talked about me incessantly even when I wasn't there. It's dishonorable, it's shallow, it's cowardly...but if you respect that sort of behavior then it's your choice. I don't. I've edited out his personal name.
I don't think I'm cool or 'woke'. In fact, I have huge self esteem issues from my upbringing and past and struggle with it every day, as well struggle with our own mental illness issues. Nobody is without huge burdens to carry, but every day I wake up and try to use my powers for good. I have friends who regularly have to remind me of my own value because I don't see it. That's what friends are for, right?
No, nothing is offensive about historical lessons. Everything I said was factual, it was a useful parallel and it's entirely acceptable to talk about such things. Nobody was insulted, nobody was attacked and nothing wrong was said.
Amazing how you can feel so much about a random person on the internet you've never met. People who meet in person feel entirely differently than they do about people on the internet.
I pride myself on being as authentic and transparent as I can be in every aspect of my life. Sorry you don't feel that way.

Also, I've listened to Slavoj and I've addressed exactly what he's talked about in my own life a long time ago.
Sometimes i feel like I've lived 3 lives already and I respect and value my experiences.
Personally, I think most people have no clue what he's talking about.
