Now you have resorted to what the right resorts to. Lies. Now I know why you like to be apart of them.I flagged you for hate speech.

Because Nobody on the right has a basket of deplorables.
I know where you stand and what you tolerate or might be apart of. The right is filled with white nationalists but you stand by them. I would consider them deplorables but you don't.

What does free speech have to do with the issues you brought up?Trump is doing something about it. Haven't you heard about Trump pulling federal funds from Universities that shut down free speech?
Universities of course having a vested interest in shutting down free speech as it could expose their ponzi scheme.
Oh so it doesn't but you still attribute it to the same people who do this "ponzi scheme". This is a claim that you don't have proof for. I guess you must believe in the conspiracy theory of George Soros. Come back to me when you can prove that the same people that do this "ponzi scheme" care about free speech and are actively trying to stop free speech.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
you made O.P. and topic neither of which had anything to do with his change my mind videos, in fact you specifically gave time points of a video which is very specific and again had nothing and no mention of the change my mind videos.
You asked for my specific dislike for him. I mainly pointed something else I will add to the list. I wasn't here when he started those videos so I couldn't post them when they were new. They are still relevant but old news compared to this.
So you've gone from be offended by a sexist joke he made and wanted everyone to watch to now bring up his change my mind which he has done on many different topics. Pivot, change direction from the original post/topic of his sexist joke (a specific thing) to a general vague criticism/attack on his various change my mind videos.
Who was asking about what I thought about someone not relevant to the topic at hand? You said:
What about the guy on Saturday night live that made fun of the congressman who lost an eye in combat?
You pivoted and I brought in extra-information to debunk your pivot. Stop pivoting then you won't be annoyed. Okay? If you don't think this is a pivot then you don't know what you are talking about. Instead of calling it pivot call it whataboutism.
and again you won't denounce making fun of liberal tv making fun of a veteran wounded in combat with a permanent disability.
The guy is far-right figure and won't denounce for a comedy skits doing what they do. People don't go on SNL for the latest breaking news they go for the comedy. Steven Crowder is a political commenter when he spends most of his time talking about the news instead of making jokes.
This is what hypocrisy is, you've shown a great example of it.
No you are the hypocrite and you can't even admit it when I called you out. You make excuses for Steven Crowder but not for SNL when they were making a joke. It is called the special pleading fallacy when you have different standards for different people.

This skit alone would have had Carlin roundly and thoroughly crucified on the altar of PC non-comedy.
Intent matters which is why George wasn't revered back then and the left dislikes people like Ben, Steven and PragerU now.

@Greyparrot
George Carlin was not a bad faith actor like Steven Crowder. The left didn't crucify him because he meant no ill will behind his comments and only wanted to make people laugh whereas people like Steven Crowder spread false information in order for them to vote for Republicans.George Carlin fortunately died before the left could crucify him.

@Greyparrot
Sure I did.
No you didn't.
1) People pay to get their children rubber stamped (Varsity blues scandal)... but that's been going on for decades with Alumni support.
Which is bad and I hope Trump would do something about it. Oh wait he doesn't.
2) Affirmative action awards people higher on the intersectionality hierarchy scale. That is textbook arbitrary decision making since science hasn't proved that being a light skinned hetero is a genetically weaker and inferior lifeform on the planet.
Which is also bad and I thought Republicans disliked Affirmative action and would do something about it. Guess that is not the case.
3) 500% increase in tuition with declining benefits to marketable job skills. Most Universities have gender studies as a field of expertise. Nuff said.
Yes tuition is a lot. A University won't have a course like gender studies if people did not attend. Are you for regulation of Universities?
4) All accreditations are done with other Universities participating in the scam. That is textbook ponzi scheme with the students ultimately paying for the fake accreditations when they find that the 500% tuition debt hasn't translated into a 500% increase in employment opportunities.
Do you know a place where there is real accreditation?

So you can't actually defend what you said when I rebutted your claims? If someone is does not favour naturalistic arguments they don't use it. If Ben truly thought that he would never have used it but he did.I've already quoted what each one said and explained why I said what I did, go back an read it.

Pivot? What didn't I answer? Do tell. I didn't move the goal posts. You didn't know where my goalposts were to even make the claim I moved my goalposts.so the new pivot is his change my mind videos, well ok, where are the goal posts going to be moved next?
and a pivot away from liberal tv making fun of someone's injury/disability with an unrelated video about a tweet he made. I missed your threads of your outrage over that. rock on.
Guessing you must really like the pivot word even if the person is pivoting. I can't help you understand where I didn't pivot when you haven't even clearly laid out what I supposedly pivoted on.

@ResurgetExFavilla
Are you one of those people who think that Israel gunning down the lifeboats of the USS Liberty or selling American military technologies makes them a less than stellar ally?
I didn't know that.
Or do you for some reason think that Crowder is an astroturfed shill for a deeply entrenched American oligarchy?
Don't know his true intentions.
Do you have a problem with Prager U, that bastion of fearless American conservatives, fiercely defending our great traditions of predatory usury and low corporate tax rates?
Yes they spread false information.
If so, you can just get out! America, love her or leave her baby! Thanks to Prager U and Mr. Crowder, I can sleep soundly knowing that our child drag queen strippers will be paying the lowest personal income tax rate in recorded history. BOMB IRAN BOMB IRAN BOMB IRAN BOMB IRAN
Okay?

@Greyparrot
Yes the cost is bad but you haven't made an argument against the arbitrary credentials you just called it arbitrary. My point was to point out PragerU does not even meet standards the Universities have like academic research and giving people the opportunity of degrees. They spread countless misinformation on top of that.All Universities are fake with arbitrary credentials. You would think the current Varsity Blues scandal along with the 500% increase in tuition has exposed that ponzi scheme by now where arbitrary universities race to authenticate each other.

I'm not sure what kind of sheltered life or bubble you live in, but there are TONS of youtube clips from comedian specials that aired on TV with much more offensive statements and language.
Wasn't it clear that he is popular? That is why I target him more than no-bodies like BakedAlaska, Brittany Venti.
What about the guy on Saturday night live that made fun of the congressman who lost an eye in combat? What do you think about that?
Oh wow. The right use the defence they are jokes but when someone who they disagree with does it. Oh no we have to be hypocritical. Thank you for this and how incapable you are of actually thinking for yourself. If I was a non-hypocritical right-winger I would say it is just a joke but as someone who is not a right-winger I understand that SNL is making fun of politics. Whatever it maybe. Steven Crowder is not doing the same with his Change My Mind segment. Crenshaw the hypocrite. Do watch if you can since I think you like confirming your biases not watching something you disagree with.
you are sounding like a snowflake, don't be so fragile and thin skinned.
Call me what you want. I don't care as long as if it is true. Insults can be annoying but I can take it. Am I still a snowflake?

I never thought attacking women on the basis of being a woman was considered a joke to you.these attempted attack posts on conservatives is elementary school level.
You see grown ups do make jokes like that, joke as in they don't really mean what they are saying.
Are you Religious? Is this why you take the unlikely positions that his claim was a metaphor to some other thing you conjured up to make sure he can still confirm your biases?
The leftist don't have a sense of humor because they can't because of their hypersensitive emotional states.
It is called caring about the people around you. Shame Steven Crowder couldn't joke out of the public eye but he had to do it on screen or maybe I can take the position that he didn't know that he was still live and him saying that thinking he wasn't live goes to show his true feelings instead of what he conjures up on set.
Just relax and don't takethis stuff so seriously, it will make you happier.
You have got to be a Republican at the very least. You don't understand when a joke goes too far and default well it is only a joke. Do you have the same stance at joking to Jews about concentration camps? How about calling an African-American the n-word?

I don't know what specifically mean but I will respond to what I think you mean.
Yes Steven Crowder is a joke to people who understand he doesn't know what he is talking about but to people who take him seriously which I think a lot from this Change My Mind then there is a problem of false information.

@Greyparrot
People watch him and take him seriously. He covers politics which is why this is in the political section. You saying he is a comedian disregards what else he does on the show. Which is be a political commentator. Just see his Change my Mind videos where he barely is comedic more so a political commentator. That also just so happens to be his most consistently popular series.

You don't know what you are talking about.
Saying you are not a huge fan of naturalistic arguments for Religion means you don't want to make it if it isn't necessary. By Ben defaulting to a naturalistic argument shows that his Religion is an appeal to nature not something he can actually make a good argument for.
Don't know how you missed out he was talking about Religion.

A fake University. Anti-intellectuals. One such example of how bad they are is the graphs that they love to use. Not a labelled y and x axis while also not pointing to a source where they got the graph they drew up.
Here is videos to watch if you actually want to know how bad they are. Not for people who liking confirming their own biases.

I have lost really badly so it doesn't matter now. I'll complain the next time a vote of mine is taken down. I don't think it would be the case because I am going back making bsh1 or Virtuoso read an entire story before not removing my vote.You are always free to voice objections to particular rulings or to ask for review of the ruling by the mod who made it.

I entered the contest late and thought I only had until the end of the day to vote on the debates. I didn't and then bsh1 took down so many votes of mine down. I knew I was going to lose even though I disagree with most of what bsh1 removed as my not so sufficient voting. I do feel like I was done dirty. Partly my fault and I partly blame bsh1. I don't blame Ramshutu if he thought I blamed him.

The title should be 207 Killed In Sri Lanka. When further information is released then SupaDudz should have added that in as the people who were responsible for it. I don't see the point in being reactionaries when you can simply wait for official statements to take place in order to find out who done what.

You said this:That's disingenuous, and I think you know that.
I had at least one user ask for this kind of functionality already on DART.
I got this:
It takes one person for you to take something seriously?
Don't see how this is disingenuous when you said 1 person asked for the functionality and then you decided to vote on it.
The second point you raise is not really coherent. If anything, democratic fora such as this prioritize the majority, and since there is no way of knowing what the majority wants until you put it to a vote, interpreting your remark as prior to the democratic process makes no sense either.
Okay.
Then it would never be possible to finally arbitrate anything. The whole notion of consent is that you accept the risks. If I consent to accept your decision, irrespective of how you reached it, there is no possible grounds for me to legitimately complain, because I have accepted the risk that you could act in a wholly capricious manner.Someone who opts out is doing just that: accepting the risk that any voter could vote in anyway for any reason. Accepting that risk means that no outcome could be legitimately objected to on the part of the accepting parties.
Okay.
That's a wholly separate and tangential issue, and is not germane to answering the question at hand.
Okay.
I am not going to judge the specific users, but I think the argument for the policy change is extremely reasonable. Just as there's a reasonable argument to be made for the status quo.
Okay.
Yes. But that has nothing to do with the opt-out.
Okay.

Why don't you target the verse? Simply having an anecdote by one scholar doesn't mean the particular group that did said thing did it because of that one scholar. You would require a testimony from the person in order to make that claim.I said when I am discussing Islam, I do not only quote the quran but Islamic scholars and academics etc
If I am "misrepresented" by the likes of you I will let you know and have let you know.
I didn't say me. I said in general.
Show this forum right now where i have said "muslims" had anything to do with the Sri Lankan attacks.
Where did I make that claim?
Let us all see your evidence where I have said "muslims did this". Come on, right now!!!
I already did but guess you didn't read it.
So what is this?
They just know how to integrated and appreciate the western country that has over 4 million muslims; don't they?
Not a gross generalisation?
it depends on the density of the reader.
If I am so "dense". Why isn't everything you say to me bold and underlined as well?
You accused me of accusing muslims for the attack in Sri Lanka.
When?

I had at least one user ask for this kind of functionality already on DART. Just because it is the desire of a minority does not mean it is unworthy of community discussion and analysis.
1) It takes one person for you to take something seriously? 2) By prioritising the minority the majority would have to wait until what they want is heard through a democratic vote.
and understood to be open to renegotiation in a way that debates are not.
So it is not final?
It would be intensely unfair of me if, after the three of you reach a verdict, to then complain about it.
No it isn't if you have found something that changed your idea of initially allowing me to reach a verdict.
And that is why the argument that "you failed to actually read the rules, and so you can't complain" is only mitigating.
Why not find a better way of presenting the rules in order to mitigate it even less by first finding out if this is a common problem with people on this site?
That doesn't imply agreement with those argument.
I know but I wouldn't deem most of the people wanting a yes to number 3 being reasonable.
RationalMadman said no. Ragnar said no. Me no. Alec said yes. Ramshutu said no. Speedrace said no. Our_Boat_Is_Right said yes. SupaDudz said no. Greyparrot said no. Swagnarok said yes. 3RU7AL said yes.
So out of the yes people I would consider Ragnar as the only reasonable one I can find. I don't consider Alec or Our_Boat_Is_Right reasonable but I don't know enough about Swagnarok or 3RU7AL to deem them anything. You might say why does this matter? I would say since a democracy is not a good way to provide what is best for the site. I would say the best way to make the best case for either side is with a debate. This can be pre-planned in the forum page and you, Virtuoso, Ramshutu, RM, Debateart.com can be the judges. With this people can see both sides of the argument while also seeing from the people in charge who made the most compelling case and who was more justified in their position.
A yes or no question. Would troll debates counts towards the leader-boards?

I am always quoting the quran. I quote many Islamic academics
How is quoting the Quran the same as quoting Islamic academics? If I am wrong which one are you doing more?
They are my words. I won't tell you how to write or what to write so afford me the same fkn courtesy.
So you don't care about your work being misrepresented or lose what you had in mind when using generalisations like Muslims did this and that?
STAY OF MY THREADS AND DO NOT REPLY TO WHAT I WRITE ON ANY OTHER THREADS IN RESPONSE TO ANYONE ELSE.
Don't think you should be on the internet before fixing what is going on in your life. It does seem like you vent out your frustration on this site and show it with capital letters and swear words.
I stick to what the quran states too, but apologists for islam like yourself don't like that
When was the last time you used an Quranic verse in a forum post you have typed?
So tell me buffoon, has it been discovered yet who is responsible for the Sri Lankan attack on Christians at prayer on the holiest day of the Christian calendar? because I don't know and HAVE NEVER SAID I DID KNOW.
Who said I said that you knew?

@Snoopy
Stephen in order to meet my criteria is to do this:
X amount of Muslims from X region have these views. This has been linked to X event occurring (linking a reliable source as evidence) in the same region. X source (also a reliable source) states the leading cause of X action is X thing. This should be addressed as a problem and I offer X as the solution. This solution has worked in X scenario (giving evidence of this occurring as well).
Haven't seen too much of blamonkey but he does source which is a step up from Stephen.
