Maybe you think everyone should be able to do whatever the hell they want whenever they want, and if people don't like it, they can piss off?
Actions have consequences. When you screw up, you have to pay the price. I know, making people pay for their mistakes is taking away their freedom to be douchebags. Obviously these professional associations, by holding their members to certain standards, must hate our freedoms.
I'm doing a little experiment here. How long will QTZR keep posting? Will he keep going until the thread shuts down? I posit that he will. It's getting increasingly boring, but I feel I must press on with the experiment.
Okay, Mr. Obsessed, we have your shipment of "Obsession for Simpletons" for you if you sign... riiiiight... here. There we go! Nice huh? Smells like 'Preteen Douchebag Loser" only it's cheaper.
Your imaginary friends don't count, I keep telling you that. I know they say not to listen to me, but you have to try!
Why can't you accept the fact that nothing you do works? I know you are a life long bully, used to people shutting up when you insult them, but that doesn't work with me. I really don't care what you believe, you're obviously completely delusional, so your opinions are worthless.
And obviously, no one else cares what you think either. You simply don't matter, and that is the truth you can't afford to face.
The average human is a social creature, motivated by what is good for the species, not for them as individuals. Modern economic experiments all agree, the selfish actor theory is dead. People are far more motivated by notions of fairness and reciprocity than self interest. People will incur serious harm to themselves to punish perceived unfairness in others, giving up months worth of real salary in recent experiments to punish the greedy players.
This is the reason that true sociopaths are so uncommon. If people really were selfish, sociopaths would have the advantage, and they would be genetically selected for. They aren't, so there are very few of them.
They are the real problem, though. People only act selfish when there is no other option. The prediction that people will act selfishly becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. People see selfishness and act selfishly to avoid being taken advantage of. Sociopaths always act selfishly.
Our society is set up to reward sociopaths. Because of this, society is seen as selfish, and people feel the need to act selfishly in order to survive. If society punishes sociopaths and selfishness, experiments show people will act in a fair and generous fashion.
Okay, I get it. You're obsessed with me. You can't get over how much better I am than you, so you keep trying to tear me down. However, you have no ammunition. You can claim to be laughing, but I know you are really frothing at the mouth, wondering why nothing you try works on me. I'm the one who's laughing here.
You don't understand how the Slashdot message system works, do you? Or what a good sysadmin's day is like. Ah well, you can keep trying to tick me off. But you can't make me angry. I, on the other hand, can get you so mad you can't even type right. You need professional help, and you need to stop referring to your imaginary co-workers, it's getting old.
I checked, and making the same dumb argument, when it obviously isn't working, is insane. You don't seem to be achieving what you set out to do. My diagnosis? You've got a borderline personality with a touch of megalomania. You may not know this, but there are drugs that could help you.
Look, you commie, if we don't pay our CEOs hundreds of millions of dollars, how can we be assured that we're getting the best? Do you know how long it might have taken to rape you all for hundreds of billions of dollars and then stick you with the bill for the rape exam kit if we had to make do with substandard CEOs?
You can't successfully attack someone else for doing what you do. It kinda backfires. And I wouldn't go showing this to co-workers if I were you. You did claim to be in the mental health field, and, well, your behavior here is so insane, any co-worker of yours would be questioning your sanity before they were laughing at me, so like everything else you say, I think you're lying about that.
When you get angry, your typing sucks, you know that?
"It works" is not the reason corporal punishment has been used for ages. Leeches were used for ages too, and they not only don't work, they do harm. Just like corporal punishment.
The reason I think you saw a rise in general misbehavior at the same time that corporal punishment stopped being a common technique is simple: the baby boomers screwed up again. You can't do away with all discipline, that's as bad for a kid as corporal punishment.
It has been proven through psychological research that ass-whoppings are damaging to children. Physical punishment is also not as effective as other methods, such as time outs. Published, peer reviewed studies all say the same thing. Corporal punishment is barbaric, ineffective, and creates damaged individuals who perpetuate the delusion that violence is a solution.
You are wrong. Absolutely, completely, universally wrong. No matter how many times you say the same thing. Free speech has never, under our or any other legal system, included the right to slander, or libel, for example.
It does not include the right to yell 'Fire!' when there is none in a crowded theater. And it shouldn't. Your simplistic assertions otherwise simply aren't even arguments, they are just bare assertions with no supporting argumentation as to why what you claim is true.
You have a right to swing your arm. But not when your fist impacts my face. You have a right to speech, but not when that speech is false, malicious, and damaging to me. Sorry, you will be held accountable for your actions, and your speech is an action.
You assert that unless free speech is complete, absolute and universal, it is meaningless. I say that is untrue. I say libel and slander laws are useful to society and the individual. As long as your right to state your opinion (I think sexconker is a moron) is protected, as long as you can make protected political speech (I think George Bush should be impeached), then we have a meaningful right to free speech.
How would the individual benefit from being able to lie maliciously about others without consequence?
Jesus, you really are incapable of letting this go. You need help. Like most people in psychology, I'll bet you got into it to figure out why you are so screwed up. You obviously failed. You need to get your anger and obsessions under control before they ruin your life. You are probably in danger of being fired or de-certified if anyone at your work place or in your profession found out what you are writing. People with your types of problems shouldn't be trusted to work with the mentally ill.
Me, I'm a sysadmin, and a damn good one, which means I have plenty of free time, because the stuff I set up doesn't fail. I have messages turned on on slashdot, so I see pretty quick when someone responds to me. I'm surprised you haven't figured that out yet.
One more time, you launch a moronic attack, hoping it will hurt me, and fail. Your lack of insight into my character will prevent you from ever finding anything that can, but it is amusing to watch you flail about blindly. Keep it up!
Eh, you fail reading comprehension. Nowhere did the article or summary claim that wanting capital punishment or higher defense (Important Enough to Capitalize!) made one fearful. The gist is, if you are easy to startle, you are more likely to be conservative. That's all.
Hehe, Seriously, what are you hoping to gain from this? It's obvious you can't stop. You know I'm better than you. Better at arguing, better liked, better at insults, better at logic, just all around superior, and you can't stand it. You know you are inferior in every way, pathetic, and have no life, and you resent people like me. It's okay, there is still a place for losers in this world, you just have to let go of the resentment, and admit your place is on the bottom, where it has always been, and always will be.
Hey, it's that loser from yesterday! Couldn't stay away from my brilliance, could you? Still desperately trying to prove to yourself that you aren't a loser, I see. How's that going? You convinced yet?
Huh? Reread the parent post. He's saying, 4chan users are the violent, inbred hicks of the Internet./b/ are their retarded cousins. They go after people for the fun of causing misery, not for political reasons. They would have done the same damn thing to anyone they could.
He was NOT saying other people are doing it, he was NOT saying its okay, how you got that from what was posted, I don't understand.
Because society is a complex interconnected web, not a heirarchy of superior and inferior people. It takes all kind of people, with all kinds of strengths and weaknesses to make society work. Social Darwinism posits that some people are inherently better than others, and deserve to survive while the inferior people should die.
A society is built on the idea that we don't fuck each other over, we cooperate. People are naturally cooperative, but when faced with such a society, will become competitive. A society built on social Darwinist principles creates the self-fulfilling meme that everyone is selfish, while one built on cooperative principles will be more efficient, and provide more benefit to all members.

The voices in your head do not make you a 'we.' They just make you crazy.

You lose again, and you always will. Luckily no one cares but you.

Are you still obsessing over this, even after the weekend? Is your life that boring? Sad.

BOO! Hahaha.
We have a monsoon season here, in mid summer. Gets pretty humid at times.
Hehe, Seriously, what are you hoping to gain from this? It's obvious you can't stop. You know I'm better than you.
