Re: Let's imagine that Epstein's system is implemented

Meh, I'm not replying seriously to this bilious pile of upchuck, at least not today. I presented a serious post about an aspect of this Great Plan for Youth lib you all seem to have, and whenever I come up with a genuine criticism of it (which I do so that we can all be prepared for it--remember, I support the Epstein system too, dickhead), I'm just a sniveling little pessimist intent on destroying your lovely Golden Age of Youth Lib.

No, you still don't get it. How can I drum this into that pointy little head of yours? If we ever get the chance to argue this stuff at a real political forum (you know, outside of our Preaching-to-the-Choir club here), these are exactly the kinds of issues that will come up. What will your answer be then? "You guys are just a bunch of cynics and you have to poo-poo everything, you big stupid-heads, waaaah!" I'm trying to get you guys to think about these things from more than just your comfortable little boxes with your narrow eye slits so you aren't blind-sided by these kinds of challenges.

But alas, what is abundantly clear to me is that you know I have some relevant points and questions here. Your snarky infantile response is brimming over with your insecurity which is typical of how you reply to challenging views or questions.

But the worst part of all of that post (at least of the parts of I bothered to read) is that you insinuate that anyone who might to agree with me that maybe we should give this a little more thought and concern than the current by-the-numbers approach you espouse is stupid. And you think I'm the one insulting the community? That's a dick move, dude. Big time.

Now, sit tight and let's go over this again: I am challenging people to consider this from all angles because I KNOW they are capable of coming up with good ideas when pressed. I play Devil's Advocate a lot, yes, though not because I want to see us go down that dark road but rather because I want us to be aware that the dark road exists and we can be easily misled onto it if we get too cocky and get ourselves lost in some mystified Utopian pipe dream of what child lib will be like. I know enough about humanity and history to know nothing that big ever works out as planned. Never. Ever. Never has, never will. Even the best ideas (like democracy) has problems and unaccounted for consequences. So we should try to figure as many of those possibilities out beforehand, not the least reason of which is that we need to know what the fuck we're talking about when someone comes up and asks us these very questions. Capiche? Bah, why do I bother?
