In the "Is Gameboy racist" thread. And Gameboy is being effortlessly schooled by Jacky!
What a dumb thing for Gameboy to do, attribute "genetic superiority" to Europeans! This comes from hanging out with Russell and other similar low IQ types. If Gameboy had been on TWD board we would have laughed at him so hard he'd have given up all these childish ideas and become quite smart. -

to think of Gameboy being part of the TWD crew back in the day is amazing tbh. i think he would have become a TWD board legend of Pete proportions tbh i've never actively met Pete or really saw him in action but what i've heard about him, how he was on TWD board, it reminded me a lot of what Gameboy was on the Soapbox, the master troll of the house, for real.
i like Gameboy a lot and i don't care about what Morris claims about him which is the usual empty accusation routine that gang fling at Gameboy occasionally. the pedo accusations were of no avail, now they pull the "racist" card. it's boring and repetitive. lmao and a right-winger from the UK calling another person "racist" is quite rich honestly.
suck it. -

I agree that Morris is far more right-wing and racist than Gameboy ever was, but that remark about Europeans being "genetically superior" was really dumb, and Jacky pulled him up quite sharply on it. He backed off and said it was a "typo"!! Oooops, my fingers slipped and instead of culturally I wrote genetically: they have "ally" in common!
I don't rate Gameboy anywhere near as high as you do, but he definitely shows signs of intelligence. His political stance is usually quite admirable. I'd say he and Morris are fairly evenly matched: Morris's political position is very stupid, but he occupies it coherently. Gameboy is more conceptually confused. -

lol of course it was dumb of Gameboy to say that. but he's also a troll who says a lot of dumb **** on a troll board where a lot of dumb **** is being said every minute. Gameboy and i have our own arguments about gender related issues occasionally and i just can't take him seriously even when he's saying really sexist and transphobic bullshit lol i'm not offended by this on here. i'd be offended on Facebook or Twitter, but that's a completely other platform, it's less about trolling and more about serious political discourse with tweets that go viral all over the world. here, it's a secluded forum with a ridiculously small number of people who know and hang out and talk with each other for years. here, it's mostly about saying dumb **** and trolling and having arguments and fights over completely nothing at all. that is why i can't take this very seriously and couldnt care less about what Gameboy once posted and how offensive that was lmao they're just trying to get to Gameboy with that stupid dumb **** about nothing, so who the **** cares.
as for the Gameboy character on the old Soapbox, u weren't there so u don't know, but Gameboy was the ****ing puppet master on it, shaping and leading that board and the community like no other would and could have, at least during my time, and from what i witnessed. and the old SB pre-2014 was sth else entirely that had many showy characters, but no other poster was that vivid in my memory of my SB time, except of maybe Chickaboom, and my friend Rouge of course. and the SB was the most frequented and trafficked board on the entire imdb forum. so u really are about to storm the ****ing Pentagon if u decide to attack Gameboy with some stupid crap he posted in the past and try to hold that against him, so good luck with that
i haven't seen Jacky in that Morris thread, yet. i stopped caring before she joined in, but she's a SB veteran herself, has a sharp and astute mind, knows how to debate in depth without turning into some dumb insult troll and she knows Gameboy for a decade now, in and out. so i'm not surprised she could get to him. good for her! but Morris? he's completely clueless and outgunned bc he doesn't know Gameboy at ****ing all.
suck it. -

then u were wrong. SB was just like as if TWD, GoT, Politics, Religion, Film General boards people were posting on one board with the same amount of lunatics and morons every board community on imdb had ever.
suck it. -
dbentley666 — 5 years ago(June 21, 2020 02:16 AM)
Ah, you cunningly mentioned the three smartest soapboxers currently posting! And given that TWD's current contribution to this board (apart from me, and sporadically, Penny) is Donna, I'm on decidedly shaky ground…

do not forget TSP!
all these posters were on the old SB for at least at least half a decade tho. they wouldnt have lasted on the SB for so long if they were the only smart ones among otherwise "lunatics and morons", right? so there must have been more posters like them to stick around, does that sound plausible? Mark, Stammerhead and Springheeljack are also SB oldtimers, so is Rocket whose intellect u praised recently as well.
there are more oldtimers from the SB still posting on other imdb offshoot forums like imdbv2, Exiles, The Hive, imdb1 even, so to say "the Soapbox was only lunatics and morons" is just talking out of ur fat lazy dumb ass which u do so very often, Bentley.
suck it. -

I have to admit I enjoy these moments when Snow goes for the jugular and you fight back. It's like GoT middleweight championship bouts, slowly displacing heavyweight fights (which don't really happen anymore).

Pffffffft. Nobody pwned me. People can have different opinions and both express them without one being "pwned".
And first, I do not believe in genetic superiority of any race or peoples. It was an unfortunate mix up of words. And if you don't believe me look at any argument I've ever had on the topic where I say Europe is culturally superior but it has nothing to do with genetics. I defy anyone to find a thread where I support genetic superiority of any race. If I did I'd have to go with East Asians since they score higher on IQ tests than whites.
Morris always falls back from a debate anyway when he gets cornered. He'll just say I didn't understand his post and refuse to argue any further. Lol. In fact, my good buddy Russell agrees with Morris on these issues more than I do. Russell is conservative and a Trump supporter. But that doesn't stop us from being friends. I don't gauge friends by their politics.
As for Jacky pawning me, huh? We had a good convo and she thanked me for clarifying my position though we disagreed. That's not "pwnage".
What this all boils down to is you don't believe I can say my 2019 Maserati GranTurismo
just kidding
is superior to a rickshaw. The point is the West has far excelled the rest the world not only in technology but also in philosophy and literature. The West is superior. And it has nothing to do with genetics. It's culture.

Dude, your argument, such as it is, is full of holes. Nobody "mistakes" the word "genetically" for the word "cultural." Even Goebbels knew that. The fact that you had to back away from the genetic argument is pwnage in itself. Morris wins that round. Jacky just came in and jumped on your head while you were out. Actually Jacky was very nice, as you point out. But she's nice. She pwned, and then made it look like she was okay with your non-explanation.
I probably know more about Western culture and literature than anyone here, and I think it is ridiculous to claim that the West is superior to any other culture in any respect. The world currently spends about 1917 billion on armaments (the US is the single biggest manufacturer of such armaments, and it is the single biggest supplier to the Middle East). America is still the only country in the world to use nuclear weapons against humans. So the West is responsible for more destruction and potential destruction than any non-Western society ever. Western civilization, and the science and technology it celebrates, has brought us to the edge of disaster. It's a xenophobic and genocidal culture. -
Platonic_Caveman — 5 years ago(June 21, 2020 06:46 PM)
Again, you can't find anywhere that I've said any race is genetically superior other than one typo. If I believed it, I'd defend it. But I don't. If you're gonna argue with me on that point you're tilting at windmills.
Jacky also agreed with me that Classical civilization is superior. Splain that!
You're bringing up ethical arguments why the West is not superior. I'm talking about technology, philosophy, literature. Again, the airplane is superior to a rickshaw. A computer is superior to an abacus. Existentialism is superior to Confucianism. What other culture even competes with Shakespeare? The West is superior. Sorry, that's the truth you cultural relativists can't prove wrong.
If all my detractors have against me is a typo than I've already won at the outset. Debate the real issues and I'm ready.

But you did say it. It can't be a typo. Nobody replaces a four syllable word with a five syllable word, especially when the latter has a completely different sound and structure.
It doesn't make any difference to me that Jacky thinks classical civilization (if that even means anything) is superior.
I'm saying that the philosophy and literature you seem to value is complicit in the genocide and destruction of the natural world. I've taught existentialism, and it isn't superior to Confucianism. It's just different. No scholar worth his or her salt goes around saying that what they research/teach is "better" than another system that they know nothing about. That's elementary scholarly ethics and caution.
Your typo represents your position. Morris pwned you (this time). Suck it up and move on. I'm sure you won't make such a gross error again. -
Platonic_Caveman — 5 years ago(June 21, 2020 07:08 PM)
Dude, it wasn't a typo like "you're" for "your". When the topic is superiority of one group of humans over another, the issue is culture versus genetics. I'm on the culture side. I've argued this over and over hundreds of times. Why all a sudden would I make a 180?
My point about Jacky is we had a genuine discussion. She schooled me on nothing. We both respectfully listened to each other.
Morris didn't pwn me. He jumped on a typo and refused to debate the real issue. Existentialism is a more advanced philosophy than Confucianism. It discards beliefs based on tradition. Confucianists crippled women by binding their feet for crying out loud.
