Maybe poor reading skills is a symptom of being a libertarian.

What the hell has it got to do with anything I just posted?

Victus is declaring he speaks the truth because he says so, just like many of our theists posters do.

Victus has a position different from yours and because you don't have a strong argument for your position you have decided to marginalize him. You seem to think the best tact is to compare him to a Christian, and ironically end up looking like one yourself.

psychopathic personality disorders do experience and 'have' emotions - they get angry, sad, upset, jealous- they are lacking in the ability to see others as more than objects to fulfill their desires / emotions and often dismiss emotions in others as unworthy of their attention - what they do lack more prominently is empathy - or being able to keep others 'in mind' as real people and not just as means to seek their own ends.

Am I wrong or is the argument from some here that Victus has no empathy? I must stop jumping into arguments with my willy waving.

A mental health professional's willingness to diagnose someone they've never actually met probably says more about them than it does about their target....just sayin.

I've always acknowledged that you, Victus and Brick have a different position from me, and I've explained innumerable times here the basis for the positions I hold.

Get it straight, ubs: I am not marginalizing him, you or Brick. I am disagreeing with you all as vociferously as you disagree with me and others here.

There's nothing ironic about that. It's par for course amongst folks who disagree. There really is no need for you to keep pulling out this martyr schtick every time someone doesn't see the world through your prism. Or Victus'. Or Brick's.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that the three of you don't actually share the same brain.

You missed the joke, dude. He's talking about you socialists.

WTF?

Are you trying to say that all of those taxes I paid DIDN'T get put to good use? No way!

Way?

And I'm just fucking with them, because they are both assholes. (UBS is a trouble maker, but she does it for entertainment, and I like that.)

Someone step forward and agree to take the MPAA position, dammit!

...and in Russia, toilet shits on you.

Victus, what is your position on IP?

I think limited IP might be worthwhile in spurring innovation in at least some cases, but for obvious public choice reasons, IP currently covers far too many sectors/things and probably has a net negative effect.

ubs · 02-17-2012, 03:06 PM

Cowards! All of you.

Somewhere sucking cocks in Hell, your mother is very disappointed at what an asshole you are, Victus. I just don't know how she can swallow it.
