A sound solution to bigotry

South Lizasauria
23-07-2008, 23:17
I have an idea that'll solve the bigotry problem. Build an artificial island out of all the extra trash mankind is producing then ship all the bigots there. I mean every kind ranging from racial groups to compensatory bigots. Then arm them all with basic medieval weaponry. After that helicopters with camera crews can tape the all out war. It can become a new tv program!

Better yet they should be placed in a maze and have robots that keep them in good health whilst having to wear protective armor that only the robots can remove, also all their weapons would be larp weapons that way the fights are longer and people would complain less about cruelty. ;)

We modify current hatespeech laws. Everytime you say something incredibly racist, sexist or homophobic the person you're talking to gets to punch you in the mouth, once, with no legal reprisal. If you punch them back they can still charge you with assault.

That way we still get free speech, douchebags still get to be douchebags, and we no longer have to fight our urge to sock them. Everybody wins!

I don't think homophobic is a proper term for the hatred of homosexuals. The suffix "phobe" implies fear. Lets just call the hatred for homosexuals "gaycism" *nods*

Compensatory hatred doesn't do anything but aggravate the situation, you can't convince them to stop hating since that is impossible, ergo send them elsewhere where they are free to hate without damaging us non-hating bystanders. Everyone wins. ;)

Well, you're wrong.

The suffix "phobe" implies fear.

First, while examining the meaning of the roots of a word can give you an idea of its meaning, it's not a way to attain the definition. "Philanthropy", "pedophilia", and "hemophilia" all make use of a Greek root meaning friendship or love, but the meanings in context are very different.

Second, "phobe" can also refer to repulsion ("hydrophobe"), which can be reasonably stretched to encompass dislike or hatred.

Lets just call the hatred for homosexuals "gaycism" *nods*

There are other terms if you prefer a different one (heterosexism, for instance), though the meanings are slightly different.

That's not a parody, that's a highly unrealistic way of addressing some problems raised by the object of your critique.

Indeed, if anything, it only works as a parody of people opposed to "compensatory" treatment: they fuss about "reverse discrimination", but their solutions are all pie-in-the-sky.

I know you're being facetious, but I hate that argument. Words adopt meaning through use; arguing the semantics of a word that's already been established because it doesn't make perfect historical sense is foolishness. Hell, if you're going to say that the -phobia suffix means de facto fear, aren't you going to have to go all the way and say that the homo in homophobia literally just means "the same?"

I don't think I like this idea. Because it has been my experience that people who complain the most about bigotry are themselves among the most bigoted on the face of the earth. And what's worse, they refuse to acknowledge their own bigotry as such, or if they do, they justify it somehow, they make it look and sound good, as if THEIR kind of bigotry is acceptable.

And when everyone on the planet has been in some way named a bigot, what then?

Exactly. QFT. As Archie Bunker said, "There's a little bit o'me in all a'yuz."

And he was right. As wrong as he may have been, and often WAS, about other things, he was right about that.

Eventually some sort of commitee will have to be implemented to make sure only the extreme hate groups and bigots such as KKK members and the like get in and others watch from the safety of their living rooms.

The only problem with this is that the definition of "extreme hate groups" could be expanded to include almost anybody, even those who aren't particularly hateful.

Sure, and then the less extreme hate groups'll be shipped out, foremost of which being those groups who disagree with the committee.

THIS is another major problem with SL's idea.

But we all have attributes that people are prejudiced against or biased towards.

Gender being one: We all experience gender discrimination.

Other sources of natural prejudice being looks, personality, wealth, social status, age, height, weight, race, hair color, etc...

We can't change basic human psyche, we can only try to mellow the extremes out.

Education is good means, another is cultural homogenization: When in Rome, Do As the Romans Do so to speak - Respecting the cultural standard and on the other hand evolving the underlying standard to encompass multitude of good - acceptable - things from other cultures lessens the pressure for bigotry. One more oft overlooked factor is better income equality: When that hobo can afford own home and decent set of clothes an important source of bigotry is reduced.

I disagree. Very few Wallonians speak Flemish. Not being able to speak one of your country's official languages isn't a great sign of a fantastic education, no?

Yes, whenever anyone attempts to actually change something in a way other people don't like, this accusation is tossed against them.

But the more fundamental truth is that no problem is solved unless people actually make an effort to solve it. And realistically--not by shipping people off to islands.

i seem to remember a button that said "death to all fanatics".

it would reduce the problem of overpopulation, but the process would still be excessively distrating.

bigotry, chauvanism, billigerance, prejudice, even mallicious aggressiveness, are not a default condition of humanity. they are a political tool, invented and instigated to divide and concor the gullible.

they would die a natural death and be forgotten, if the didn't keep being reinvented.

their REAL elemination is simply a matter of (everyone) ceasing to do so.

and people do, when the have other and more urgent things collectively to think about and have to deal with.

it is only when people have been conned into denying themselves the real gratifications of creating and exploring, that they turn to the vanity of compairing themselves to others and everything to everything else.

but agian, it is only because some individuals want power over other individuals that they get into promoting and creating this kind of thing in the first place.

You asked a question. I answered it, and added commentary on the question itself. In what strange universe is this "trolling"?

(And frankly, being accused of trolling by the very poster who told me that my sexual assault was my fault is so far beyond ridiculous that it's hard to believe you're real...)

Holy howling shitmonkeys, did SL seriously do that? Was it recent? If you still know the thread, let me know, I'm always on the lookout for the grotesque shit that only the internet conjures up....

Yes, whenever anyone attempts to actually change something in a way other people don't like, this accusation is tossed against them.

But the more fundamental truth is that no problem is solved unless people actually make an effort to solve it. And realistically--not by shipping people off to islands.



Well, it might be, if that were actually our idea.

Unfortunately for your argument, it's not.

Once AGAIN the islands idea was just a satire. Compensatory haters are just as bad as the haters. And deep down they're the same, only they're on opposing sides. Both are powerhungry, both try to give the public the impression they're right and that they're hating is justified, eventually the compensatory haters end up being racist or bigoted toward the majority in general and even the non-haters in said majority end up suffering because of it.

NSG beats me more, I'm beginning to actually believe that the majority of the people here truly find understanding what those outside the circle have to say. My words were twisted in that thread, I never sided with the rapist at all yet all dogpiled me calling me all sorts of perverted things in the name of liberal justice.

I also find the fact that many of those within this forum's circle jerk are unable to accept facts that disagree with their close minded liberal version of reality as fact and that anyone who disagrees is either branded evil, bad and intellectually challenged. I also find that the trolling that goes on here unchecked tends to serve the circle by either making forumgoers believe that the circle is right or driving them away completely. And this my intrepid rivals shall disgust you more than any fiction you create of me. I've seen this behavior before....at the Baptist cult I used to got to. Cultic behavior....*tsk tsk* Dear oh dear. :eek:

Who cares about Belgium, anyway? :p

I disagree. Very few Wallonians speak Flemish. Not being able to speak one of your country's official languages isn't a great sign of a fantastic education, no?

Also because Wallonia basically lives on Flemish benefit payments, and the Flemish have had enough.

Few Wallonians want to speak Dutch, but if you make it clear to them you're not Flemish, they often will speak Dutch.

That benefit payments story is one of the bigotries i was referring to.

I don't know, every Flemish taxpayer gives, on average, 3 000 Euros to the Wallonians. That's quite a lot of money.

Somebody posted links to what you said. Twisting what you said would be redundant.

You clearly claimed that women were at least partially blameworthy for rape if they dressed a certain way.

That you would hide behind simplistic political modeling to avoid owning up to such a monstrously foul position is something I can't respond to without lengthy preparation.

After a few more posts here, I'm going to take a break from nationstates for a few days...I need time to compose, to let what you said sit and burn in my head, leave blisters that can callous me somehow to the fact that people like you exist.

I've never planned a work before, its always just flowed.

But this has to be done right. Your mentality must be answered, and though it should be done by one far more gifted than I, my meager words will at least give fuller sound to the chorus of those who retort your kind of thinking.

I have a better idea.

We modify current hatespeech laws. Everytime you say something incredibly racist, sexist or homophobic the person you're talking to gets to punch you in the mouth, once, with no legal reprisal. If you punch them back they can still charge you with assault.

That way we still get free speech, douchebags still get to be douchebags, and we no longer have to fight our urge to sock them. Everybody wins!

Its not really free speech if you get punished for what you believe.
And whatever happened to freedom of thought?

Mods as a Weapon: Threatening another nation with moderation action if they don't do "action" is not allowed. Representing yourself as a moderator is considered impersonation, and is not allowed. Reporting rule-breakers through the Getting Help page or the Moderation forum is not only allowed, but encouraged. Doing so maliciously or spamming Moderation with questionable requests may invoke a penalty, at the Mod's discretion.
