Reasons why I learned self defense, #37:
The ancient art of debating, learned from my mother, and she from her mother, and so down through the generations to antiquity.

(14:31:03) Porter: Frug is back.
(14:31:03) Frug:
(14:31:50) (Semi-AFK Darrik): I dunno, I kind of like him
(14:32:01) (Semi-AFK Darrik): He is rocking a stylish moustache and tophat
(14:32:12) (Semi-AFK Darrik): I think he's a post who KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS IN LIFE
(14:33:32) (Semi-AFK Darrik): He's a post with gumption, with a clear sense of purpose and the determination to stand by his convictions
(14:33:39) (Semi-AFK Darrik): He is WELL GROUNDED.
(14:36:09) Saruna: he is also angry.
(14:37:32) (Semi-AFK Darrik): That's not anger. That's the Clint Eastwood 'Don't mess with me' squint
(14:37:51) Katona:
(14:38:02) (Semi-AFK Darrik): He's got a gun in his pocket and he ain't happy to see anyone messing with his business
(14:38:23) Saruna: man clint doesn't look like that!
(14:38:57) (Semi-AFK Darrik): Rewatch Gran Torino, and imagine a moustache and tophat on Clint.
I BEG TO DIFFER.
(14:39:35) (Semi-AFK Darrik): As to what I have been doing: I have been DEFENDING THE INTEGRITY of an AWESOME POST =D
(14:39:48) Saruna: I think you are ruining his rugged manliness with your depiction of tophat and moustache!
(14:43:18) (Semi-AFK Darrik): I think you are falsely interpreting an apt comparison in favour of the Awesome Post with some kind of attack on Clint, which is evidently fallacious given the context of my statements
(14:43:36) Saruna: I don't even know what I'm interpreting any more
(14:43:44) (Semi-AFK Darrik): Also evident =D
(14:44:09) Saruna: I CAN, HOWEVER, STILL TELL YOU TO STFU WITH CONVICTION!
(14:44:18) Saruna: there lay bare my capabilities.
(14:45:44) (Semi-AFK Darrik): You can. But you are asking me to STFU on the topic of highlighting why the post is awesome, which is dangerous ground to tread, for in doing so you are actively oppressing its rights to be accounted for as Awesome instead of being shamefully profiled as 'Bad' due to his choice in facial hair and headwear =D
(14:46:24) Saruna: I think you're disregarding his eyebrows on purpose.
(14:46:25) (Semi-AFK Darrik): And therein lies the slippery slope to extreme prejudice, my friend
(14:46:36) (Semi-AFK Darrik): His eyebrows convey an emotion without context
(14:47:03) Saruna: Then you cannot claim him to be awesome and not bad at the same time!
(14:47:11) (Semi-AFK Darrik): We do not know what has instigated the emotion. Right now that post is standing between bandits and his family, and he WILL NOT BUDGE
(14:47:43) (Semi-AFK Darrik): But those who immediately labelled him as BAD are guilty of prejudice, profiling him in a negative light without investigating the context of the picture
(14:47:46) Saruna: you made that up
(14:47:55) (Semi-AFK Darrik): I did, to illustrate a valid point
(14:48:18) Saruna: your point is as valid as mine
(14:48:48) (Semi-AFK Darrik): Then you agree with me that labelling the Post as Bad without context is not a good thing?
(14:49:31) Saruna: I think I messed up
(14:49:50) (Semi-AFK Darrik): =D
(14:50:17) Saruna: I think I should go to sleep before I dissolve into further bouts of random tiredness >>
(14:50:21) (Semi-AFK Darrik): Thank you for this debate. I'm glad we have cleared the Post from its negative labelling, freeing it to be judged on its merits and not its outward appearance
(14:50:29) Saruna: ohhhh fuck off
(14:50:36) (Semi-AFK Darrik): Muahaha
(14:50:42) (Semi-AFK Darrik): =^_^=
