Let me give to a tip here. You’re not getting anyone to actually argue the point, likely because you’re acting pompous and aloof. I do the same thing sometimes, and it’s as harmful to debate as cussing.

Tone down the high flautin’ lingo, and you’ll have a lot more success.

Truth. And also, it’s a fine place to bring questions Chordus- there are a LOT of intelligent, reasonable people that post here all the time. Sure, we have our trolls and general morons (noone specific that I’ve noticed), but overall, PK is a fine place to discuss something- there’s legitimate debating and discussion about everything, and sources cited every time provide new information for whatever you needed. So, please please don’t tell the readers and commenters here what to write- we can take care of our own business, and if you haven’t got an avatar, you probably don’t read enough of these comments recently to be speaking in an educated manner about it.

By: tyler

tyler — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:34:03 +0000

-sigh- Well maybe instead of slaying them, you can act just as “holy” and reasonable as they claim to be and watch them flounder once they realize they’re not the ONLY person intelligent enough to argue coherently?

Chordus- that wasn’t aimed at you, just a nice solution to James’ problem.

By the way, James, the score is now Applejacks to Water bottle and I’m playing with the paddlestick bandito mango-fruits, I’ve collected all three and am about to win.

dissimilitude — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:33:29 +0000

However, I maintain that this is not the place for this conversation.

Oh, are you a PK admin? No? Then don’t tell other posters what topics are acceptable for discussion here, please. Well, unless you want to start a debate as to whether the topic is appropriate or if, in fact, all topics are appropriate if there is anyone who cares to discuss them.

Look, we discuss a lot of different topics here; some political and many not. It keeps things lively. This one was evolution and altruism; sometimes it’s coffee, sometimes gaming; the next might be something as abstract as whether free will exists or as prosaic as whether ziploc bags are better than plastic wrap.

James, c’mon man- I know you’re better than this. Please don’t start the mudslinging contests, we both know that can’t end well, and Chordus, while his post may have seemed rude, just needs a little clarification/response from markus himself, that’s all.

By: tyler

Meh, to address James first, he’s usually pretty nice- I think you just got him a little angry with this one “He is bashing those who support evolution by saying that they also support the cruelty to those who are in some way incapable of benefiting those who make a less-than-average contribution to society.”
I mean, I can see why that would make him angry, but Markus was just wondering how people can both believe in Evolution and try to prevent Darwin’s Theory of Evolution from affecting humanity by helping the “weaker” members survive. He’s not right, by any means, for example- if money was a definite indicator of an advantageous trait, then he would be right in the sense that it would be *technically* the right thing to do for the species, but that doesn’t make it a moral code, and I think Markus knows that.

I know, right? My favorite part — “People who don’t understand an argument shouldn’t bring it up.”

Is this pinhead also against public education?

Better butthurt than than aneurysm hurt, according to the doc. I read an interview of him, where he said that he just wanted to die from that pain, called 911 and laid down to do just that–and woke up in recovery to see his former student. (couldn’t find a link for the Esquire magazine interview, but it was fun!)

Chordus — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:18:37 +0000

You are correct in saying that he legitimately doesn’t understand. And, in my original post, I did indeed put up some points that would perhaps get him thinking about the situation. To call somebody ignorant and then NOT give them the facts would be ridiculous.

However, I maintain that this is not the place for this conversation. There are plenty of science forums whose members would be more than happy to explain the situation, and in much better detain than can be done here.

I also maintain that, buy building a straw man argument like the one he did, Markus is in fact showing that he is ignorant of the position of those who support evolution. It’s my belief that people who do not understand an argument should not bring it up. I will concede that this is the one point of my argument that is opinion-based, and as such, I must apologize for what may have been seen as being too harsh.

James, however, is another story. By failing to address even one of my points, and instead throwing insults, I have to conclude that he is more interested in trolling than becoming involved in this argument.
