College or Daycare? What difference does it make?

[pErvinalia]

While I'd be all for university sponsored masturbation rooms (particularly co-ed ones), somehow I don't think that idea would pass the sniff test...

As I've said before, there must be something a bit weird about at least some American unis. Not just the colouring book stuff, but the ultra walking-on-eggshells stuff about gender politics etc., that even rEv thinks is a bit weird. Here in Oz, I have recent experience of the uni lifestyle via my son and his friends; none of that bullshit seems to operate at all...

[pErvinalia]

What do you mean - that even I think is a bit weird? I think all sorts of stuff is weird. I just don't get my panties in a twist about it like the MRA crowd and 42.

Merely that you have agreed that some of the ultra-sensitive "college" stuff that 42 describes (albeit selectively) is a bit crazy, and that it may be a US phenomenon, rather than some sort of general property of western culture...

I guess the reason they were chosen is because of a cost-benefit analysis. They are cheap, argued to be effective, and simple. No expertise is necessary to use them or to instruct anyone on how to use them. It's basically "meditation for dummies", so to speak.

You guess,

[pErvinalia]

No, you are right. They were chosen to impose colouring in on you.

[Forty Two]

I couldn't be arsed addressing your longer post. It's the usual torturing of the English language and logic. But briefly, YOU claimed that colouring was the only destress service at the uni. I wrote: " How do you know that they aren't provided other methods to destress as well? " And you replied with: "Because I read the articles about it the program." And you are lying (as usual) by trying to assert that I made a positive assertion. I NEVER said it wasn't the only destress service. Stop fucking making shit up for once in your life.

You're lying again.

Provide the evidence where I said that colouring wasn't the only destressing service, or STFU. I never claimed that, and you simply won't find any evidence of it. You have wholly extracted that straight out of your festering arse.

So, since you're not claiming that the coloring book wasn't the only destressing service - I'll take your statement in that regard here as a clarification. If I ever accused of making that claim, i withdraw it and I wholly accept that you never claimed that coloring books were the only destressing service.

Well, I've seen it all! 42 (sort of) admitted that he might be wrong. What would be better is for you to go back and definitely conclude that you were speaking unmitigated bullshit, and to stop repeatedly doing this sort of thing in the future.

Most everyone here will confirm that I have no problem admitting that I might be wrong. You, on the other hand, lie like a rug, and won't admit it when it's proved so conclusively that it is absolutely inarguable. You are disingenuous, at best.

You're just playing a game here. the important part is that you never claimed that coloring books were not the only destressing service. Since you are not making that claim, then you need not support it. I, too, am not claim that they WERE the only destressing service -- I only claim that there is nothing in the articles discussed that refer to any other destressing services, and I have actively looked and not found a shred of evidence for another destressing service.

Therefore, the only thing we have evidence of is the one destressing service we are talking about.

Likewise, I never made that affirmative claim -- that they were the only destressing service.

Yes you did! Stop fucking lying. I provided the quote for you.

You're not reading what I wrote correct. It's the only one mentioned, and the only one we have evidence of. I looked for others and did not find them. Like a deity, I can only say there's no evidence. I cannot prove to you absolute absence.

Your "quote" was my reply to your question - you asked "how do I know..." and I replied "because I read the articles..." and I also explained that I actively looked and couldn't find any mention of other programs. That's how we have knowledge of anything. How do you know there is no god? I don't have any evidence of god. It's like how we know Donald Trump doesn't have a policy to give people checks for $1,000 each if he's elected. I read the material about his positions -- I actively looked on his website and elsewhere for such a program - nothing is mentioned - no evidence of it. So, we can safely conclude he has no such program.

You argue like Seth, and like a Creationist.

So, until some evidence comes up about non-coloring book destressing services, I can only assume that the coloring service is it. Caveat being, as always, that new evidence can modify that understanding.

You know damn well that universities provide all sorts of services to students. You only have a problem with this one as it offends your conservative sensibilities.

Fuck off. Take a position and support it. Shove all your "you know damn well" bullshit and your "conservative sensibilities" nonsense right up your lily-livered, lying piece of shit ass.

But, that just leaves the coloring book program, which we have evidence exists, and no evidence of any other programs. So, what's your fucking point in asking me how I know there aren't any others?

Because every university that I've had anything to do with provides a host of services other than just courses to its students. I would be very surprised indeed if this was the only service they provided to students.

Who gives a flying fuck what you've had anything to do with. Take a position, and support it. I don't care what your narrative is or what your personal experience is. Either there are other programs or there aren't. First you want to claim that you never, ever said there were other programs. Oh, no! That's just someone putting words in your mouth! Now you're saying that every other university has all sorts of programs, implying that I "know damn well" that universities provide them. You stop just short of outright saying that these destressing services. So, you tell me - am I to "know damn well" that universities provide other DESTRESSING services, you disingenuous cunt? What relevance do other services and programs have if they aren't "destressing" services, since that's what we're talking about?

So - what do these other programs and services have to do with the conversation - are they or are they not "destressing" services, and does the university in question have them?

[Forty Two]

No, you are right. They were chosen to impose colouring in on you.

You are such an SJW.

If you make an assertion, back it up. If you're just guessing - making an assertion without evidence - then it will be dismissed without evidence. It's a baseless assertion.

Good work on the quoting, bro.

[pErvinalia]

you disingenuous cunt

I'm hoping the mods can't find any more excuses not to sanction you now. That one is pretty unequivocally a personal attack.

[Forty Two]

What do the other programs have to do with the conversation? Are they not "destressing" services?

Why did you bring up "knowing damn well" that colleges have other programs? Did you mean that I know damn well they have other destressing programs? Yes, or no.

[pErvinalia]

No, you are right. They were chosen to impose colouring in on you.

You are such an SJW.

If you make an assertion, back it up. If you're just guessing - making an assertion without evidence - then it will be dismissed without evidence. It's a baseless assertion.

I was giving my opinion on the possible thinking behind them. Sorry it's offended you. You should start a thread about it.

[Cunt]

Good work on the quoting, bro.

You really are going after his argument here. You have never done a better job deconstructing his ideas. I'm impressed with your growth and development.

you disingenuous cunt

I understand you enjoy having the authorities come down on your opponents, but I think this time, he was just calling me, and using shit grammar.

Shouldn't you take a shot at his grammar? THAT will really show that his arguments are shit!

I'll restate it. Your posts are disingenuous and cunty.

Sorry mods.

I can't fucking read it. It's a jumbled mess. And even if it wasn't, experience has shown me that it's usually full of logical fallacies, misrepresentations and outright lies.

I don't make a habit of reporting people. I only start reporting 42 after repeated ad homs. And I always give him a warning first. That's just the kind and considerate guy that I am.
