>> Oh Jesus fucking Christ. A "you can't label me" hippy. It's total speculation... Another nonsensical personal attack rather than addressing what I've said. This is getting boring. Yes, we're all human, and we all have innate biological traits, but they're not determined JUST by genetics, but by epigenetics, as even identical genes in twins can be expressed in different ways depending on their environment. In any case, a discussion of human nature is typically one about behavior, and we don't all behave the same in response to the same stimuli, or we'd just be fleshy automatons. Sorry to burst your bubble there, pal, but I don't subscribe to your weird pseudo-science explanation of what you pretend "human nature" is. >> If there's no such thing as human nature then there's no such thing as humans. I already made this distinction and you seem to have ignored it. We're not defining what a human being is biologically. When we're talking about "human nature", we're really discussing human behavior. Playing semantics bores the fuck out of me and I'm not going to do it anymore. You know the context, but you want to win an argument on the internet because winning is more important to you than truth. I get it. But it's a complete waste of my time. >> I understand that you feel offended. Yawn. You insult me and then pretend I misinterpreted you. It's gaslighting and it's also very boring to me. I already dismantled your argument here. You appear not to like it very much, but you don't defend it. You just assert that it is "objective truth" and dismiss any of my objections. I remember being young enough to believe I knew enough about the world that I could make such final assertions about things. While I'm not a "pot-smoking hippy in my 50s" or whatever, I'm still old enough to know that I don't know everything. You should learn some humility too. I guess you will in time, if you live long enough. I learn more about the limits of my own knowledge every year. >> Because you're spending too much time thinking about how it makes you feel and not thinking about what it means. You're psychologizing me instead of realizing that you're simply being unclear. I'm not a mind reader. If you think things without stating them explicitly or implying them clearly, then other people won't understand them. You have a certain worldview, but I do not share it. So you assume I'm going to follow the same line of thinking you do. This is a false assumption, and it's why your claim about my supposed "bipolarity" is a non-sequitur. In any case, you have completely misunderstood my argument. I even clearly stated that even if the U.S. military were to be absent, the Chinese military would not attack us. Did you even read my responses to you or do you just word-vomit all over your keyboard? -------------- I find this so often when talking to people, whether they are progressive communist retards, or boomerfags, or NatSoc idiots who don't realize that they're no better than Marxists themselves, that they are so hostile and close-minded to the opinions of others that they deliberately miscommunicate, dismiss anything they disagree with, and have this arrogant, falsely-superior attitude in their communication. You don't know as much as you think you do. I thought I knew everything in my 20s too. Maybe you'll grow out of it. Probably not. You won't remember this conversation 24 hours from now anyway, so I don't know why I waste my time.
