Philosophy

@[email protected] appears to think so.

In the above thread, I suggest that artifacts of evolutionary development are purposeless and that suggestions to the contrary are intelligent design. I'm met with the common hostility.

But what interests me is the justification for it:

Claiming I was suggesting intelligent design when I obviously wasn't is a pretty dickish thing to say, so...

FlyingSquid feels entitled to hurt other people when certain conditions are met. Eye for an Eye has been a staple of justice systems of less developed cultures and despite the advancements of modern technology and modern thought, some apologists still exist today.

I find it interesting that people who have been hurt (by something as innocuous as a perceived slight to the ego, no less!) are willing to pass that pain on to other people rather than allow it to end.
