Re: Bird
Sometimes you kick people because they cause "drama" -- You know when they have actual conversations about things of substance like me and Kevins debate on "insults" it's a very interesting topic if you ask me.

Re: Bird
So to summarize, it forces you to think?
Even when challenged reasonably by others, several people will still hold-on to their traditional ideas, and most people are quite conservative. It does not necessarily promote creativity. It also goes back to misinterpretation. If you don't understand each other, you won't really get anything from each other. That is why I believe it is best to learn cooperatively and to learn because you like learning for learning, not because of social pressure or competition. It shouldn't also be difficult to be open-minded and view every opposing worldview not as a challenge, but as an idea that requires proof and evidence. I understand that different people will have different motivations though.
My own opinions on the necessity of conflict lies in "macroscience"(economics, cultural studies, bio-evolutionary etc). Competition boosts economic growth, bio-evolution is a result of conflict, and elections allow shifts of political ideas. Econ-growth is essential because of a limited supply of goods and services, bio-e necessary for genetic survival, and political shift because power is limited. I think it's also a natural human trait to favor competitive environment, for some.

I don't know about the horses, but I do remember your specifically saying, "I wanted to see her pass out while trying to kill herself," after watching that Japanese girl.

Re: Bird
Ok, 4 things:
1) So what *is* wrong with fucking dogs?
2) What about cats?
3) For the love of google, stop multiple posting and edit your posts Lobstrich! This is probably why all the dogs turn you down.
4) I should get my G+ going...

Re: Bird
We did! We had to do it without you, I'm afraid. We should celebrate horseporn night monthly so you and Derek can see it.

I feel.... betrayed
But ok, I like the idea of a monthly horseporn night. I hope there is a lot to choose from.
We watched other shock videos too, the internet is our oyster!
And if we run out of things to watch we could always get Melllvar drunk and make him do stuff.

Re: Bird
it's lobstrich's thread. Who is this "we"?
About conflict: conflict isn't debate. Your (lobstrich) post explaining why you like conflict seemed to explain why you liked discussion and debate. Did you just mean a conflict of opinions type thing? Or do you think conflict is good in a wider sense?
Also yeah that whole "this isn't a democracy" thing was bullshit. You were asking for an ethical justification, not demanding a vote.

Re: Bird
I beg to differ. It may be Lob's thread but it was named after Bird. If I had a thread involving fucking dogs and some guy blowing it way out of proportion I'd want to change the name of the thread as well. By naming it after Bird it automatically becomes her issue as well. Thus the "we".
Ugh, I just know this is going to turn into a tempest in a teacup as well.

Re: Bird
I did not blow anything out of proportion. If you notice all I said, that bird said, was; that I wanted to fuck her dog. So I don't see how it's blown out of proportion.

Re: Bird
But I also meant in a wider sense. We gain nothing from living in harmony. If you live in harmony you'll do the same thing every single day.
Nobody lives in harmony.
Also, when I say "conflict" I don't mean war and killing. I just mean that there's no harmony or agreement. (Though both things.. At least the latter one. Can be useful sometimes.)
Exactly.
Both. Conflict of opinions is always good.

Re: Bird
You do gain something for being harmonious. If you agree with each other then there is no reason to argue.
You can still be creative without arguing by sharing ideas with another person.
What thing would you be doing everyday if you lived in harmony?

Re: Bird
Also, I never said "argue" I very specifically use "debate" because what I see a debate as, is a collaboration of opinions, views and knowledge that creates 'better' opinions, views and knowledge. ('better' because what is better? What I mean is that I might take in what you say, and maybe you will as well. Arguing is when people stop listening, when people get annoyed and it's nothing but yelling.
This process is impossible if you live in harmony because you will never ever be in disagreement, nothing bad will ever happen and nothing will ever stand in your way. Because you live in harmony (Like I mentioned before. Nobody lives in harmony anyway) But if you live in conflict you're forced to thinking new. Why? Because you want harmony. It's quite paradoxical actually.
This is nothing but my theory of course. It's not a theory that nobody lives in harmony though. That's a fact. Even the Buddhist monks don't live in harmony. The water the bathe in might be a little too cold (disharmony) he and another monk might budge into each other in the doorway (disharmony) etc. etc.
But I don't think you can be creative while upholding harmony. The entire basis of creativity is disharmony, it's something new. It's something that breaks the lines that once were.
Yes, you gain harmony from harmony, you don't get any further knowledge.

Sure you can share your ideas and not necessarily have to debate about it.

The exact same thing, every day. Because that's what harmony is. The same thing, without any 'interruptions' at all.

Re: Bird
I was half-joking when I said to live in harmony. It's better to be able to compromise. Earlier you did say you like to argue though.

Re: Bird
Being able to be creative while there is harmony.
About arguing, that must have been in the context of people seeing what I do as arguing. I see what I do as debating. I think there's a difference
between the two, like I explained.
If I did in fact just say it as in "I argue a lot" that's a mistake and I wish there was not a time limit to editing posts, hehe.
Right, okay. But what about, what you said about creativity? (Annoying sentence, hehe)
