I guess so, but kissing is pretty great, I think those robots are missing out on some good stuff.

I don't think it's fair to suggest that because one of the robots has a physical barrier to traditional kissing that their experience can't be as valid and fulfilling as that of two people with traditional lips.

I want airlines to be nationalized and treated like the vital component of public transit they are. The fact that your grimy hate-filled mind can't even possibly imagine anything being different than the way it is now is just crushingly depressing. Ask the good people at United to transfer you to the pet-murdering division and give your stubby little fingers a break.

Just going to put this out there in a respectful and civil way, most government-run-airlines are horrible death traps of corruption and waste and literal falling parts. That may be because most government-run-airlines exist in developing nations. Or maybe developed nations know better than to trust governments to run airlines. However the current system of private ownership + heavy regulation has created the safest form of transportation ever. It's just not the most comfortable form.

Right, but then are you insinuating a man with no balls (maybe from a war injury) can't feel full intimacy from a blowjob from the wife who waited loyally for him? That's a messed up attitude that you are projecting onto these robots.

But how will they know without trying? I bet an evil robot could find some lips somewhere if it really wanted too.

Yeah I mean, I want it to be done well. It's easy to make any government program look like a bad idea if you underfund it and riddle it with corruption.

I would say it's getting less safe, because people are getting assaulted for not giving up seats on overbooked flights and seats are getting so small people are getting blood clots. I don't think people should have to endure physical agony just because they can't afford to pay not to. That's extortion. Everyone has an equal right to be free of pain, and the neverending parade of idiot goons treating me like I'm crazy for thinking so will not change my mind.

I will if he posts about it again. I would like to give you six as well, for posting about it again just moments after I delivered a final warning, but I suspect the reaction I would receive means it's not worth my time.

e: the reason I did not probate him for his last post is that I had said the discussion could continue if it remained polite/informative, so I feel as though probating him before officially putting an end to this would be in poor taste.

I started typing that post before you made yours. Don't waste your time on such a flimsy excuse. Probating the pro-human-decency poster and telling the pro-corporate-greed poster he's really gotta watch it because one of these days, if he posts tens of thousands of words of hate often enough, he might get a wrist slap, if he keeps doing it, really I swear someday it might happen, is a clear enough message on its own.

I don't have the image handy but this is approaching that little comic where the Hitler is all "looks like you have some growing up to do" calm and collected while the other guy is frothing mad at genocide, like that's the level of discourse happening in this thread and you're in here like "he's following the Rules, sorry", as if civility and decorum are the only thing that matters in an argument.

I'm not equating the content of the arguments but rather the level of debate techniques being thrown around.

They are maybe the most important thing in getting people to even listen to your argument in the first place, I have no idea how this is hard to understand. It is totally possible to argue passionately without insulting and alienating people. Especially if one is trying to change the status quo, it's vital to get your beliefs out there in a way that people who are not already onboard will be willing to listen. TB brought up Dr King, the tone and content of his speeches was always inspirational, not derogatory.

I apologize. I thought that the posts were acceptable because they are informative, if somewhat bizarre. They didn't read to me as somebody attacking the poor, but instead somebody knowledgeable about airline intricacies and procedures who just had... a lot of words.

I think it would probably help you feel more at ease with the world if you took the time to do that periodically, and reflect on why someone's experiences are different from your and how it has affected their development as a person.

Context matters. If you write a 1,000+ word post defending the airlines from an accusation of being lovely to poor people, it definitely comes across as "gently caress the poor."
