I really shouldn't even bother. I'm already rather tired of going circles and circles with Brian Willy.
But it's one thing you said that I just can't let go right away. Me being biased.
While it IS a technicality, it's something that must be said, though it won't change much. I never said I was unbiased as a person. Not once do I put myself as some form of superhuman, and say I operate without bias period, the end. I've even admitted to being biased about certain subjects that I usually just joke around about.
However, that's why it's a technicality, because it holds no bearing on how I argue/debate. When I argue/debate, I forgo bias.
MY bias is anti-registration. You made the remark that from day one, I shot for the SHRA, when in truth, I did not. Like the Americans I've come to being associated with where I am, I shot from the hip, and defended the anti side right off the bat without much thought to it. Though I still find one very good reason I won't overlook to move to the SHRA side.
However, logic sings a far different song. This is where you and I and this whole, "You don't get it" "You're irrational" "You're not thinking logically" comes into play. Logic doesn't care one way or the other about anything other than the question you're asking it.
For example. If I were to logically ask, "I'm undergoing sexual frustration at least twice a week, how could I stop it with a bullet?" Logic will immediately say, "Shoot yourself." That's it's primary answer. To assume things work in their primary function since I gave no specification, and only have supplementary answers. So if I were to ask, "Which is better at defending human life, the old way, or the new way?" It will answer, "The new way." Logic "loves" (oxymoron, logic doesn't care) systems and organization. Things can be so far more accomplished with extreme amounts of ease through those, than just going with the "direct" method of random chance that the old way represented. Ever wondered why they picked Stamford, Connecticut, and the only heros there were the New Warriors who'd been tipped off to villans being there in the first place? That's why. Villans can be ANYWHERE, and heros are sparse. The SHRA gives to the idea of spreading a powerful net everywhere, with available resources to better combat this sort of thing. In that case, logic wouldn't (though it doesn't anyway) think twice, and say, "SHRA would be the better choice."
If I were to ask logic, "What would be the death toll, for heros and humans, with the SHRA?" It would say, "Less than before." If I said, "Would it eliminate them altogether?" (if it were a human) "No, apparently you don't grasp humans as a whole, they're prone to lying and mistakes, eliminating that would be eliminating individuality, which is impossible." (If it were just basic everyday logic) "No."
So back to the concern at hand. I do not operate in bias normally, I normally bite my tongue, swallow my pride, and make decisions I don't always agree with, because they tend to yield more positive results. Like working with a partner at school. Sure, the guy may be a womanizer and beats his girlfriends and with his money, gets out of trouble, but he's also one of the smartest people in class, and in order to actually get my solvent to work, I need his help, so I can get my fuel rod to work. If I operated in bias, I would never complete my fuel rod, and in turn, may never invent a power source capable of replacing our current ones someday. If I operate in logic, I do it, get through it, eventually not deal with him ever again, and go on to bigger and better things. To think that I alone with bias have the best answer is horrible. That's easily on par with my father, though for all his genius and intuition about things, considers normal everyday humans to be sub human, and just filth to be dealt with as cogs to his machine. I forgo it. I will say and do things normally against my fiber (and believe me, I have an extreme intolerance personally about many things), if it yields better results that don't initially irrevocably betray the original process in turn, negating the results I desire. (i.e., I want a better world for humans, so I kill all humans who disagree with each other, because disagreeing causes conflict.)
I don't HAVE to use bias to build my arguments. I learned long ago how to control that. Hell, the vast majority of arguments I argue around here are things I don't agree with. Is it bad? No. You'll view it as bad, but it's not. In turn, I picked up extreme observation and logic pattern thinking as a substitute, which unfortunately, means I'm not so human friendly. And this is where you and I ALWAYS come to disagreements. Logic cares not for human life, where you care about each and every little single individual. Logic will take acceptable loss to build a better future, where you will hold something to stagnatation until another solution comes along. The human race is about progression, and logic is what taught humans to fly, it's what taught them to get into space. Risk, thinking, consideration to factors. Not just where they get on one block, and all of the sudden, "**** this. Stop stop stop. We can't go any further until we develop ideas we can't possibly have until we actually try to fly this thing." Humans are anything BUT logical creatures, but it's not something they're absolutely stuck with. Hell, entire governmental teaching systems tend to be illogical (America and Spain to name a couple, though France isn't some big shot in it either.)
So the answer is no, I'm not biased when it comes to progressive thought. Bias hardly has a history of solving things for the better. And every once in the while, bias and logic agree, it's just not that often.
Bias births wars like the American war in Iraq. Bias births immediate conflict. Bias kills, and bias lies.
So once more, no. I don't need bias to argue, I don't even WANT it for that purpose. Bias only comes into my life when I deal with my own family, that's it for the most part. You can tell it's bias, when I'd rather watch the world burn down around me, than be a "complete" family with them. View me how you like, I really don't care, but if you view me as being someone who can't forgo bias in such petty little things as this, then don't expect me to think of you as someone who has the powers of observation at their command.
Yep....I see them doing stuff like this all the time on TV.
