Citations should follow APA format of course.

Citations are biased. Liberally or conservatively. Whichever you prefer.

and while we're at it webdip forum should institute peer review of posts following the PLOS One model.

So Draugnar's going to stop making stuff up? I'll believe it when I see it.

JFK said I could have a turn with Marilyn Monroe.

Right. I'm not posting sources because Draugnar says so, even though I generally like him.

Well his arguments, opinions and all naturally.

Reality has a well known liberal bias (1).

Why are the people most likely to speak out of their ass (draugnar, Botox) always the ones most likely to demand citations. Why are those who post all day (draugnar, krellin, tettleton chew) the quickest to call others work ethic into question? Psychologists want to weigh in?

Psychologists should do a study of webdip's rightwing community and cognitive dissonance.

I heard they were actually on the way to the lab to do exactly that, but the irony in the air was so thick that they couldn't safely drive

Hey Santa. I'm home on sick leave. Want to come change my bandages and pressure wraps?

Santa ... I don't know if I ever ask for citations, but hey, who needs reality when we can just insult people that have strong opinions and get tantalized for it...

Spot on, Santa!
I shall say nothing about the specific names you mention (Bo, for one, I must say hasn't made that kind of impression on me. But I don't follow the forum 100%... I've got to play the dam game too...)
But it's a remark of general validity concerning human nature.

When you meet a girl calling all the other girls "sluts" you know what she is up to herself, don't you... As guys who see "thieves" or "bloody alcoholics" everywhere... You know what they are...

Only an unemployed and who is really frustrated about having nobody to employ him, need fret about "all the lazy bummers" who do not "want to work".
The slave himself is typically the one who will most religiously defend slavery and denounce slaves who won't work and sacrifice themselves hard enough.

It is also a common behaviour to presumably "win the day" by demanding a citation, calling "straw man!" or as a conditioned reflex demand "Define!" as soon as they have nothing themselves to say.
For example: A response to this could be "Define nothing!" And so I am made speechless...
Well well...

I would like to write a particular essay on the "straw man" issue, but... ...yes, got to play Diplomacy too, don't I...

Can't you easily say "people are hypocrites" without throwing in insults that don't even apply? Can't people do that?

See, I just did it. I just made a point without insulting ANYONE.

@Sylence... What the fuck are you talking about? You think slaves typically religiously defend slavery? Really? You think they didn't want to break free back when slavery was so common?

Also the unemployed example is as horribly illogic as the slave one. Why would an unemployed person be pissed by other unemployed persons? What you claim to be true seems like quite the opposite of truth to me...

Then it obviously would not specify that YOU are a hypocrite.

Since the institution of slavery has reached a high peak in my own life time, Steephie, though it is not called by that name, I don't need to go back to antiquity to find out whether slaves typically strive to "break free". These days it is called "employment".
That was basically what "slavery" meant in antiquity: "Employment".
A bit simplified I grant - mainly because the mechanisms that forces people to employment in modern times are more complicated and entrenched than they were in antiquity.

The mistake modern men make is they assume ancient slavery was necessary a state of physical misery.
Some slaves did unhealthy and physically draining work, such as rowers and miners.
But this condition I suggest is more typical of the modern world - living and working in degrading environments and under degrading both mental and physical strain.

Santa, we had one conversation on here once where you thought I went a little overboard and I thought the same about you. Do you even remember what it was about? I really don't know why you seem so determined to pound me into the dirt at every chance you get. Maybe you're just that way but it really makes no sense.

Santa is just a disagreeable old fuck.

Plenty of us bitch about welfare abusers because we *pay* for the abusers of the system. That's right, my taxes go to paying for people on welfare, some who need and deserve it and some who are just fucking lazy and need to get off their fat asses and go work at McDonalds or something.

Too bad Putin didn't provide a link to something Draugnar "made up."

Somebody did a study of Putin's self-delusion disorder.
