At least Korea cares. 'Beats by Ray' for Ravens fans and 'Ben There, Raped That' for Steelers fans were two of the most popular fantasy football team names and earned a collective yawn. What they're doing is par for the course on online gaming. I mean go play any multiplayer game and just listen to the racism and sexism pour out.

That being said, these things belong in the past and these little twits need to be checked.

I have to agree, checked both in Korea and in the U.S.

I don't agree.

Pray tell. Why?


The use of the word "belong" is meaningless. Humans evolved they way they did, these things exist in the present.

I'll play along. Why is the use of the word belong meaningless?

BTW, just because something exists doesn't mean it belongs. Take cancer for instance. Wouldn't you rid your body of it? Does it belong there just because it exists there?

No, that's exactly what it means. Things that evolve serve a function, and cannot be removed without upsetting the balance of things.

What is the function of your appendix? How about removing a spleen?

Dirt exists. Doesn't mean it belongs in my home.

Besides, what the OP referred to was a manner of thinking, not a thing. You need to tighten up your rhetoric.

Just a bunch of "bla bla bla". Human's "manner of thinking" means nothing, reality rules.

"Reality rules." Now there's some real blah, blah, blah (please note the correct spelling) although it might sound good on a bumper sticker, right next to the "I'm an inexperienced driver so please look the f**k out" one.

But just for a giggle, let's complicate things. Opposition to "the thing," as you describe it, exists as well. Which one represents evolution?

I'm betting you'll cop out and say both. Very Happy

Yawn, complicating simple things is what you do. I live in reality.

I guess you are attempting to say "political correctness, feminism and other forms of society brainwashing represent evolution"? This could be the case. Perhaps in ~100K years humans will be different?

Yet today we live in reality now, not one possible reality 100K years from now. For the next 100K whatever years, babies will continue to be born not knowing anything about this social programming nonsense and will need to be brainwashed that "slapping women is a bad thing" (there is no evidence to support this theory). But there's no reason to think evolution in this direction is happening -- it's the "caveman" types reproducing the most, women are attracted to that, so there's no real reason to expect things to evolve along a different path.

It's just the D-bags trying to get some by appearing sensitive, they are doing that because they aren't getting any, hence why no evolution in their image.

Morality is not a theory.

It sounds like you're the one not getting any and are jealous the sensitive types can pull birds while you can't. And it's pretty obvious you're not a caveman type.

Morality exists only in the human imagination. Thus it is made up.

Wrong again. You're on a real (not reality) roll!

Where does morality exist other than in the human imagination?? I see it nowhere in nature.

Meh, many posts back you asked me to explain, and I did. Human nature will not change, anytime soon. Thus I see these society attempts to repress it as pointless, and negative.

Heres an interesting article that counters KimchiNinja's bald assertion:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/5373379/Animals-can-tell-right-from-wrong.html
"Human morality was not formed from scratch, but grew out of our primate psychology. Primate psychology has ancient roots, and I agree that other animals show many of the same tendencies and have an intense sociality."

What is a "bald assertion"? Makes no sense, why bald? Why not blunt observation?

Yes it grew from primate psychology, it's made up stuff in the mind.

Not all minds are as simple as yours.
