No, the argument is in regards to your opposition to multiculturalism. Which is about control and forced assimilation.

Not a strawman.

I don't care about intelligence. Too many counter examples to what you say for me to think it makes a real difference. Too deterministic. You can cut out half the human brain and the skull will fill with spinal fluid....and due to plasticity of the brain it will barely lose cognitive ability, just (some) motor skills.

Your premise of bigger=better is laughable and more useful in a conversation about penis size.

No, it doesn't have anything to do with what I've typed. You've gone on a tangent about what it means to be American or something, I'm not even sure you've read what I typed.

You're not even good at sophistry!

I was responding to the multicultural cartoon that prompted this conversation, not the derailment.

I can see your mix up. Or you're just being niggardly with your wits.

I don't know why you would back track to that silly image.

It started this conversation. That is what is great about you conservatives...you'll believe the same thing on Wednesday as you do on Monday no matter what happens on Tuesday.

I respect the tenacity.

I'm not a conservative, there is nothing [left] I would want to conserve.

You support patriarchy, racial hierarchy in civic society, are against welfare, against immigration, against multiculturalism, believe in essence (and you call me a sophist ), are for heterosexism, don't seem to care about the environment and probably claim global warming a hoax, support aggressive foreign policy (I think?).

Seems like a laundry list of what would be in a right-wing conservatives platform.

Could this be in your top right box in the old Johari Window?



Move it on over to the top left!

/e oh, forgot about belief in an international conspiracy involving a cabal of Jews. Can't forget the cabal of Jews!

I believe in making liberals mad, with all of those things. LOL.

From a utilitarian perspective, qualified with the consideration of continuation, i.e., preservation of the society, nation, etc., they all make sense too. A few of those you threw in there just to impress your sociology professor, I'll ignore them as they have nothing to do with anything I've ever brought up.

I lost it at “heterosexism” especially.

Is there anything you won't try and put a villain label on? Starting to think slippery slope isn't really a fallacy,

Preservation of society? Lol. The quality of life for everybody has been increasing since the progressives and liberals have taken over.

And I'm waaaaaay done with sociology classes, that was early undergrad times. Still have my books and notes for when I need them though. I tend to use my notes from law and econ classes a bit more while I'm here.

Yes, which has nothing to do with slut walks or pride parades.

Quality of life has risen greatly since the industrial revolution, capitalism is villainized for its success, sound familiar?
