interesting. i think i found the 1 article he got his views from.

@Meryl.140.15 It wasn't the adrenochrome. It was your logical incongruity: "[insert group of people] are dangerous therefore I dont care about them"

That way of thinking is asinine.

Now you're just trying to insult me simply because you don't agree with what I said

Go back and look at what I said.

Its there. Here's a screen shot

where was the nonexistent logic

That way of thinking can be applied to _literally_ anyone

It can be spun in literally any direction therefore it is illogical

what are you even talking about

and?

what part of that is illogical?

You're a lost cause.

ok

that's respectful of you.

i just realized that you weren't upset about the adrenochrome comment, you were upset by the pedophile comment. I was so confused for a while there.

i had just assumed it was the adrenochrome comment.

I did exactly that.

@Meryl.140.15 I thought I said it in enough of a way for you to understand my feelings towards your comments. I'm glad you understand me now. I just couldn't stand repeating the same thing, for a third time.

Tbats what wore me down the most

not sure how the pedophile comment was illogical or why it was upsetting at all tbh

that part still confuses me but everything else makes sense now

Because that same way of thinking can be applied to anybody.

I can say "people who lift weights are dangerous so I don't have sympathy for them."

"People that had no father, are dangerous, so I don't have sympathy for them."

It's a list of any qualifier that is infinitely long. Therefore, is a generalization, and therefore false.

Thats why it doesn't make sense to put people in that kind of box.

It would be better to say, "pedophiles that act out on their urges are dangerous..."
If what the people in the TED talk are saying, is true, then yeah, try and get people the help they need, don't just throw them to the wayside. It can't be all of them.

pedophiles are dangerous.

since when are weight lifters and pedophiles equivalent

i mean some pedophiles might be weight lifters

okay, i agree with both of you. generalizing people is bad, and not a strong argument, but pedophiles in general are bad and dangerous. @kriegor191 isnt trying to argue that pedophiles are good/safe people, kriegor is trying to argue that using that argument isnt strong and shouldnt be used if you want to make a good point, @Meryl.140.15. does that make sense/accurately describe whats going on here?

it's not really an argument that's just my view on it

I just, can't. No harm no foul, @Meryl.140.15 but I cant explain it any better than @Wardog did.

alright, im not trying to put words in anybody's mouth, and im not trying to twist either of your views or what youre saying, im just trying to find some common understanding about WHY this argument is happening, since it escalated earlier.

And now my Bluetooth isn't working

I've explained my position from the get go, it hasn't changed.

we just won't agree on this subject and that's fine.

No, we wont.

find it odd that someone would start being insulting to someone for saying "pedophiles are dangerous" but i guess ill never understand that
