    #MeToo and Cancel Culture: Friday is bring your own torches and pitchforks day!

    All, I hear is someone wanting to be treated unequally and believing in the use of violence to secure this unequal treatment.

    I disagree, I don't think that is the case at all with him. I don't think he is being authoritarian, either it is as I think or it is genuine belief and certainty of wrong-doing on Cosby's part.

    #MeToo and Cancel Culture: Friday is bring your own torches and pitchforks day!

    The accusations are clearly untrustworthy, a mixture of clear extortion, bandwagoning and revenge. This is the exact same bullshit that has been deployed against Republican politicians and appointees to poison the well for them, and also men like Gian Ghomeshi, that comic guy that women are...

    I think you have proven my point. You literally want someone harmed because of accusations. He wasn't drugging them, he was trading sex for drugs. This is entirely different, and an abuse of the definition. Trading sex for drugs by nature is scummy, it is by definition not drugging someone. The...

    Could you just admit you are wrong rather than trying to grasp at straws? It is pathetic that people won't admit they took part in a mob lynching of an innocent man.

    There is something inordinately funny about the whole thing to me. Possibly the absurdity of the whole thing. Though I guess such things would even out the differences quite a bit. And might make the fight fair-ish. You know, I actually find bringing back dueling to be less barbaric than the...

    Possibly. I might have been going too far in the first place, but traditional dueling was limited and did satisfy honour. And was controlled, it would definitely be an improvement over informal fighting, especially if it someone jumping another person. Though we ended dueling for a reason...but...

    Or actually restore the other social controls on such things. Didn't they have some interesting ways of dealing with gossips back in the Middle Ages? Edit: You know what...some ways are too interesting. Maybe just public rebuke and chastisement, and some other minor punishments would be...

    I think he is being honest, and any cherrypicking is unintentional. Basically, he found something he believes is a logical error he can exploit. The sort of thing we do in a debate. We probably shouldn't continue this digression, and instead create a new thread of the actual topic, where you two...

    No he didn't. You put those words into his mouth by cherry picking a religious argument.

    That isn't mutually exclusive. I am merely taking about what someone does after they shoot themselves in the back of the head, or drop a weight on their neck before they are set to testify...that sort of thing. Though I am sure there are other things that such people can do after their suicide...

    Either way, many people are going to neatly cut themselves into pieces and then neatly put themselves into bags and then neatly toss themselves into an alleyway or such.

    Don't worry if Aristotle is right, after a time of tyranny, we should return to the proper forms of government, maybe we can try to avoid the degeneration again and stick to the right form of the rule of many.

    If the year is starting to turn around, I can take weirder. The absurd is better than the abject wrong.

    I just realized that this means Justin Bieber is contributing to real reform of our current accusation laden culture. If he can set the precedent, then he makes it at least some degree harder to simply toss allegations about wildly.

    Ah, I forgot to reply. I guess I should. Indeed, it is a horrible idea, you always need to be able to defend yourself, because even if you are beloved by the world, there will always be someone who will you ill. Always be someone who will try to harm you. You can't hug your children with...

    You probably don't. What you want to do is have enough people in the population who are virtuous or have their head screwed in right, so they make the right votes. Which is the point I am trying to make. In any system there will always be those who are not virtuous or outright depraved, but they...

    Well, there is a reason why I believe in the Republicanism of old. They had strong traditions of citizen virtue, of course the franchise was limited, but if we can make sure that the same people that would be virtuous under those systems are virtuous and bring in some others. we'd be able to...

    Remember, that Vic is equally Christian as them. So, you shouldn't let people like them push you of a faith, it should be your own personal feelings, and if they are a problem you should also take people like Vic into account as well in your calculation. Also this is why so many allegations...

    No, some religious types were protesting a convention and he confronted them, and had words with them.
