I can surely not compromise on getting poorer grades.

I could not compromise on my belief of determinism, I am a true-follower of this belief because it offers the strongest argument and gives the best explanation to why the world it is as it is and those who live human or non-human animals. Compromising with the free-will belief really defeats the purpose of having the argument on whether you as an individual can or cannot make decisions on your own. The Free-will argument has some strengths such as the acknowledgment of knowing that there are options that can affect the goal, such as two paths one is quicker the other is longer, it is a suggested evidence that because we have this capability to acknowledge the decision-making process entitles that we do have free-will. However, in determinism whatever event that happened prior to making you acknowledge the decision making is because of an event that preceded with another event which made you lead to another decision by the cause of that event. You as an individual has your path already preemptive been set, because every event leads to another event and that event we may recognize is because of an event that made you realize to think that you are having free-will when you think you are making a free choice is actually because of the event that made an event to make the event of you thinking that you think you have free-will, when you don't. These events began when the universe began every event begins and ends with an event always creating and always controlling our decisions, that is why I strongly affirm that you cannot compromise determinism.

Also, some of you may feel heated, this is a touchy and revealing subject and I know that people are so sure that they make their own individual decisions that when someone there's "Yea nah, its all pre-determined", you can imagine the merry-go-round arguments with those who cannot see the weaknesses in their argument.

A trivial squabble. Sheep are superior to both. It's like Americans and Canadians arguing over who has the best version of English.

Okay so you haven’t played the game. Have you atleast watched let’s plays or walkthroughs about it? Because then you’ll see why people are giving it shit.

Could you offer at least one example so I don't have to spend more than an hour watching a LP looking for the evil SJW agenda?

You are free to look at my previous post about it, I don't like repeating myself.

You are the one responding to things I haven’t mentioned you in directly, but I am enjoying your projection.

But the indirect mention is obvious, and likewise So is this you not caring or are you going to answer my question?

I'm pretty sure talking to yourself in NSG is considered spam. Just saying.

I have rather controversial opinions.

On the idea that academics are the smartest people or that their opinions matter in the grand picture, and on the idea that education is an indicator of intelligence.

Also on the idea that diversity = strength.

Also on sovereignty and liberty. The conversation ends the moment you say borders don't matter or the principle of decisions made outside of the country is okay.

Indeed!

Education does matter. An uneducated person can be intelligent and skilled in various ways, but a thorough understanding of a topic requires expertise, and expertise requires education. Someone with little education might have a natural disposition for doing math, repairing broken things, solving puzzles, they can even sometimes be good writers.

But some vocations require education. You cannot be a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer without an education. That doesn't mean a doctor is necessarily smarter than someone who works a low skilled job. You can be a cashier and have a great intellect and be able to analyze your environment and understand the way of the world better than a doctor. But you can't perform surgery.

And like being a doctor, being a policy maker is one of those things that demands an education. If you can't find a country on a map, how can you understand geopolitics? How can you understand Russia's interests in annexing Crimea if you don't realize that Crimea is a warm water port, something Russians lack which costs them in trade and prevents them from projecting naval power? How can you understand sectarian violence in the Middle East if you don't have a thorough comprehension of Sykes-Picot and its ramifications?

That doesn't even mean you have to go to a prestigious university. Hell, you can even get an education from a public library and the internet. But anyone who is not extremely well versed in history, sociology, law, and government should be kept far away from positions of power.

That morals are defined by God, and thus while people may not believe in them or agree with them, they are still under their effect.

That people strive to maximize happiness and satisfaction for themselves alone. The effects of virtue are true satisfaction and happiness, that is why humans sometimes act selflessly, even when they appear to indulge in sin.

The effects of sin are dissatisfaction and unhappiness, while one may gain pleasure from sin, they are ultimately harming themselves.

The rising rates of atheism are the reason why depression is on the rise as well. While many atheists will remain good people, many will also begin mistaking some sin for neutral or good acts, resulting in depression due to the dissatisfaction and unhappiness.

All religion in which the believers state blatantly false information, that blindly follow a fictional deity, and who also often uphold a false sense of superiority over others not following their religion.

-whoops-

Why the repost?

Is there a reason that you posted the same thing twice?

Over half an hour later? Doubtful.

I can’t compromise with people who put Milk into the cereal bowl before cereal, it’s just weird... you gotta put the cereal in first, then the milk, and then the spoon. Speaking of utensils.... if you actually choose to use a fork over a spoon, to eat cereal, you are Disgusting

I cannot compromise with those who have the inability to know when to stop. It drives me crazy when someone makes a funny joke, then extends it really long and it's soon not even funny.

There's really nothing I can think of. I can certainly be disgusted and appalled by certain ideas and decisions, but I can and will associate myself with you if I deem it acceptable to me. Ostracization and alienation only makes it so that people only have one way to go, by simply explaining your point of view in opposition to them, it makes it so that they're less likely to believe they're completely correct. If a person can't handle a discussion or debate, then I'll phase myself out unless I have a good idea of how to approach it or they reach out to me first.
