"People go funny in the head when talking about politics. The evolutionary reasons for this are so obvious as to be worth belaboring: In the ancestral environment, politics was a matter of life and death. And sex, and wealth, and allies, and reputation... When, today, you get into an argument about whether "we" ought to raise the minimum wage, you're executing adaptations for an ancestral environment where being on the wrong side of the argument could get you killed... Politics is an extension of war by other means. Arguments are soldiers. Once you know which side you're on, you must support all arguments of that side, and attack all arguments that appear to favor the enemy side; otherwise it's like stabbing your soldiers in the back - providing aid and comfort to the enemy." -- Eliezer Yudkowsky

How is that the opposite of what he's saying?

the sock is lightsnake. I mean its seriously unfunny how non-seriously they sock.

If I ever get perma-bannt I'm waiting a month, then coming in as a newb starkiller fanboy ****ing everything up with poor gramar.

I then, like others before me, will slowly learn the ways of the debate ninja. like jason bourne, only I'd do it on purpose.

Rex, then don't. Make a few of us honorary mods that deal strictly with socks, and this won't happen 🙂

You know full well that ain't how that works.

Seeing that picture of me on a Banana Republic model is hawt. Someone put my face on Darth Maul awhile back. I demand more pictures for my amusement.

Because he's clearly not favoring it? As in, he is describing a situation, but not endorsing it? Reading comprehension, man.

If you click on the link I provided in the second post then you'll see how much he is against that particular scenario?

Just because I forgot how awesome this video was and it applies to everyone hereRed 😉

Reading comprehension? I highlighted what you posted and used that, and you KNOW that was the only thing that was discussed. Definitely reading comprehension RH, you're losing your touch.

Well then lets go with only what I copypasta'd.

Going funny in the head isn't something people advocate, so right off the bat he is condemning the practice.

I'm not really sure how his noting of "people go funny in the head" translates to him condemning the practice. As usual, you're reaching.

As usual, your a d-bag.

If you want to ignore the context of the article then go ahead. You've got an argument to type up anyway:

I'm pretty certain I was the one that put your face on Maul. In fact I think I put your face on Morgoth as well.
