134. MY defensiveness?

Fri Oct 18, 2013, 12:19 PM

Oct 2013

You're the one who's throwing around accusations without even attempting to back them up. Oh well, since we're going to play that game. I find it extremely creepy that you don't believe in calculus or mathematics in general. I mean, I'm assuming you went to school, so you really don't have an excuse. I consider mathematics to be the language of life, and you don't believe in math at all. How can I have a serious discussion with someone who's able to deny objective fact so easily? What's to prevent a person who doesn't believe in math from declaring whole groups of people worthless and worthy of death? The way I see it, the math deniers are just one step away from bringing about the next holocaust. It's just sickening. Tsk tsk.

On edit: I don't suppose you can actually provide one of these "judgements" I'm making about unnatural things, can you? I mean, I don't want to get in the way of an idiotic rant (I enjoy those as much as anyone), but occasionally I like to see a tiny bit of substance in the criticisms I receive.
