What challenge are you talking about?

You have not presented a single rational argument. You have not presented any facts. Do I really have to repeat my arguments? Show me a black majority country that is well run. Show me a black neighborhood that is safe after dark. I want one single example anywhere in the world.

 

Yeah, but at least we got him to finally admit something other than genetics plays a part!

 

Once again I state the obvious truth, and you roll your eyes.

 

Women prefer successful men because it is natural for them to do so. Societies differ in how they determine status, but women always prefer men who have it. They always have.

Men prefer young women because they are more likely to have healthy babies. That preference is instinctive, and manifests itself even when childbirth is not intended. That is why magazines like Playboy have female models in their late teens and early twenties.

 

Please provide some proof that "NPR" said those things. Those are very serious accusations, and I find it very hard to believe. Maybe they had a guest on who said that, but I serilusly doubt anyone on their payroll said that.

Juan Williams used the NPR name for years during his appearances on Fox News as a part of his title, as if it were proof of his authority on matters. They eventually asked him to stop doing that because of the negative attention it brought the network. The vast vast majority of funds comes from private contributions.


To the person who mentioned Williams' intelligence, I completely agree that he is a very smart, shrewd guy. Fox gave him a 3 million dollar contract this morning. Very wise move on his part.

 

So that explains why all the porn aimed at us women has male models wearing expensive tuxedos and holding up job contracts with lots of zeroes on them... Oh, wait... That's not what they do... They have young guys posing with 6-packs and big dicks...

I'll take hot over successful.

Of course there gold-diggers. It's not that the guy is more attractive because he's more successful... It's that the woman thinks she can get a free ride out of him. Society says that's fine for women to do, but not fine for men to do, so more women do it than men, but I've seen men do it too. Start dating a successful woman and then fake an injury and quit their job until she leaves him... Then suddenly their injury's gone and they can work again.

-----

Never listened to NPR, but if Fox is giving him a contract, he must be a hardcore rightwing guy... Sounds like he was just trying to stir up a hornets nest as part of a transfer which was likely already arranged. Hornets nests seem real easy to stir up lately. Apathy: If you don't care, then the fear-mongers and mudslingers can't get you!

 

He's actually been forced to admit that before...but it didn't do much good.

 

How bad is it that I first read "Labial Media" when I looked at the thread's title?

 

Nearly all pornography featuring naked men is produced for homosexuals.

Women's romantic fiction nearly always has a happy ending when the heroine marries a rich man.

A friend of mine used to frequent singles bars. He told me that even for a one night stand, when a woman has no hope of benefiting from a man's wealth, women prefer men who have wealth.

 

With regard to the original post and thread topic...I would dispute two initial premises. First of all, Juan Williams' First Amendment rights have in no way been violated. Freedom of speech does not guarantee you a forum on NPR.

Second of all, anyone who classifies NPR as "the liberal media" hasn't been paying close attention lately, but if they believe it, they should have no trouble classifying Fox News as "the right-wing nutjob media". They can have Juan Williams, and I hope he's happy there.

 

Wow. OK - I've got time, here are all 3 of them, in order:

Challenge #1 - Respond to my answer about your reasoning as to why I challenge your conclusions - I refuted your initial supposition as a clear example of false dichotomy fallacy:

Your argument:

My rebuttal:

Challenge #2 - Refute my assertion that you're deeply attached to your conclusion(s) based moreso on emotional, rather than logical, grounds:

Challenge #3 - Demonstrate an ability to consider the argument from any other point of view whatsoever. The sign of a strong intellect is to be able to argue another's point of view without necessarily agreeing with it:

The highlighted statement is false - my argument from the beginning was that NPR had every right to dismiss Williams based on their employer-employee contract - a position that you agreed with You began you're oh-so-predictable diatribe about genetic effect on social success and I've been challenging, rebutting and refuting ever since. In fact, you've not once asked me what my opinion is on the matter - likely because you're so desperate for validation about your own. :-|

 

Well, it's true that you don't see too many supermodels dating homeless men....

 

Here again, Kimiko, you are distorting my argument to make it easier to refute. That is known as the straw man fallacy. I do not discount the importance of environment, but I believe that genetics is far more important in determining what we want to do, and how well we are able to do it.

 

A clear-cut case of Extreme Porn Withdrawal Syndrome (EPWS). It's becoming something of an epidemic around here.

 

I am confident that you do not live in a black neighborhood, and that you have never attended a predominately black public school.

 

No, I didn't. You just confirmed my statement, as a matter of fact. You admit that environment plays a role, and then you dismiss the role it plays.

 

aaaaaand, he continues to dodge around it some more! :lol: The taps on your shoes must be very worn out by now.

 

Whenever this topic comes up people shout racist at me. I never call anyone a nigger lover. I rarely if ever use emotionally charged adjectives or adverbs in any of my posts. If I ever flame anyone, I do so in ways that are very gentle by XNXX standards. I base my arguments on facts. I either document them, or in this case I refer to facts known by everyone and not in serious dispute.

 

Safe for whom? Everybody? Or just self-loathing, mysoginistic, old white bigots? :lol:

 

Were you, or were you not, assaulted by young black men more than once in your lifetime? Did those events have an impact on your perception of black men in general? Is it possible you are now incapable of rational thought on the subject because your emotional reaction to those events runs so deep?
