What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
I'd rather live next door to a Muslim than an atheist as well. But I'd also rather live next door to an atheist than a Muslim.
I mean, it depends on which Muslim and which atheist you have in mind.

Re: Rationalskepticism,lol part III.
If they keep banning non-trolls, maybe Rationalia will have some fresh life breathed into it.

Oh wait. Nevermind
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

The best way of fighting racism is letting racists speak out and make complete fools of themselves. Tyrannical is a master at this.
