I'm sure you do. I'm pointing out that you're either an incredibly poor student of philosophy or you're intellectually dishonest on this thread.

Well, throughout all the arguing and bickering in this thread, it is conclusive that you can tolerate someone for saying/posting blatant things online.

What are "blatant things"? Come on....
La Presse said:
That speaks a lot about your character and decency as a human being. For someone to call you out on it is not an ad hominem attack per se.

What does it say about yours to try and assinate my character because I have zero evidence about said poster on Facebook so I'm not willing to say what they do or don't deserve?
 
Psai said:
No it's not. I'm not rejecting your arguments because of an irrelevant fact about your character. I'm telling you that you sound like an idiot. It's not even close to an ad hominem. It's pointing out a character trait. The fact that you don't even understand the phrases that you keep spouting speaks volumes.

My character flaw is that you think I sound like an idiot.
You continue to impress me with your sound arguments.

Didn't ask for advice broseph.

But thanks for the input, this thread has run it's course. Hitler pic officially killed it.

This thread is disgustingly authoritarian.

Thoughtcrime
Reporting on someone for what they say?
Saying people who believe certain things shouldn't "exist"?!

Your thread title is "How would you have handled this?"
That person just gave it do you, and you reply with "didn't ask for advice".

This entire thread has been an enlightening experience. Mostly about the OP talking out of both sides of his mouth. Thanks for the laugh, SDN.

It's hard to take you remotely seriously when you post for the sake of argument and have no reasonable insight. See post above

I made an edit, just for you.

It's hard to take someone seriously when they contradict themselves no less than 2.5 times. I'll give you the 1/2 because you had someone else tell the administration, so your quibbling over semantics won that half point. But the intellectual dishonesty of trying to claim you weren't responsible should really be a -1.

I could be wrong, but I don't think he meant it as in he told the classmate to turn the guy in. I think he meant it in the same way you say "I had this happen to me". Like.... "I was at the grocery store and I had a cart roll up on me." I didn't actually make the cart roll up on me. It's not quite proper grammar, but that's how I interpreted it.
 
These type of threads are ridiculously entertaining. Thanks for the show!

Troll? No, don't misunderstand me. The laugh was for the content.
The purpose was to attack the leftist/progressive ideology that seeks to silence those they disagree with through intimidation, fear, and retaliation while simultaneously preaching tolerance for different people and ideas. The problem is that what needs to be silenced gets to be decided by anyone, at anytime, for whatever motives they harbor. My point about "sorta racist" vs "seriously racist" was lost on most. Who gets to decide where that line is? Sucks for those who end up on the other side of it. But what if that's you one day, what if radical right ideas take hold in the next 20 years? Would you still support the kind of response that you took against this other person?

Someone brought up homophobic remarks as falling into the same category as racist ones, and claiming those people should suffer the same fate. There are a few billion people on the planet right now who have belief systems that someone could easily find "homophobic" if they were trying.

This ideology is dangerous unless it's your ideas that are in-vogue, right?

Yup the same horrible fate as being told by me that they said something homophobic.

Super scary!

Or contacting their medical school and trying to have them kicked out? Isn't that what you've been supporting throughout this thread?
Try being honest?

Dude, come on. Your arguments are basically "because you're dumb. You're wrong." Even if your arguments made sense, the went you go about arguing is just so childish. 90% personal attack, 10% reasoning posts are not very effective except for looking like a royal piece of ****

He also personally talked to the racist kid, then he talked to his friend and the friend talked to the administration.

This seems like a legitimate response IMO

I personally would not talk to the school though and all of my posts after that have been on calling out people for their offensive crap

I don't really get why you keep saying this. I doubt that OP forced his friend to contact the med school, so unless that friend was not in control of his own actions, the friend chose to tell the administration.

edit: or was silly enough to hire his friend as the "hitman"

"I had a classmate already tell the administration"

"I had someone pick me up from the bus stop"

Maybe this entire thread hinges on poor grammar.
 
Oops. That's a typo in the OP. Why would I have someone else tell the administration? That just makes no sense. Sorry I post from my iphone.

^ see.

That should be, "Sorry, I post from my iphone."

Yes, there are parts of this post with unclear grammar. As the reader, it is our job to interpret it logically.

Nice shot at me, but several of the 1st posts mentioned their view points on getting the administration involved.

It's really immaterial though because that action, however it happened, was defended.
 
Member10billion said:
It wasn't a shot at you. Please don't be so defensive. I guess it is hard to tell someone's tone on the internet.

I thought it was a good zinger. The insinuation being I interpreted it illogically, certainly possible. But I used the first few responses as context.
 
Seeing as I'm a minority, I would file a complaint with the school. Medical school often entails a close-knit environment that is necessary when students are being trained to be members of a medical team. Someone who makes minority students feel uncomfortable really compromises the integrity of this environment. ADCOMS carefully select applicants to construct a class with diversity, with people they think will really contribute to and enhance this environment. The administration deserves to know if someone like this has been offered a seat.
 
Did the administration respond to your friend that you had report it? My gut says they ignored the hell out of that snakebit email.

They must not get on sdn , because if they did, they'd see what happened a little over a year ago to someone in their exact position. I have a feeling this person in your Op is gonna get what is coming to them.

Hmm... science says otherwise. Science says that such an environment would create chronic stress within your body, which has many physiological and psychological effects. So, I think that you're saying this just to be argumentative.

Nah I'm really not into all that argumentative crap... Honest. I just think you've got to grow thicker skin. Some people just won't like you for whatever the reason. So what? Why is everyone so sensitive? It is still possible to work well and on the same team with someone whose views you don't necessarily agree with. The student was dumb to have his profile public, but at the same time it was still his personal page.... With his personal views.

As long as everyone is professional where it counts, it shouldn't matter.
