For LaserBlowFish & Others... I'm Done!

This channel is meant to be a fresh start for me. So in a way, I'm grateful to LaserBlowFish. Because the utter stupidity of his comment has caused me to avoid getting caught up in another pointless, academic debate when there are people to be helped and work to be done. And if you're insulted by anything that I say in this video or have drawn negative conclusions about me, then the unsubscribe button is right up there.

Please watch the video and read the comment in question at this link:

I favourited this video because you are displaying symptoms of butthurt in addition to being MAD. I think youre suffering from a rare condition know as "buttmad".

You pointing out the "inconsistency" of bringing up "choice" shows you havent listened to my video, havent listened to the other video responses and comments and havent so much as picked up a book on the subject of determinism in your life.

And youre no longer asking to provide a basis for justice, but a basis for contemporary justice

@LaserBlowFish

lalalala, James cant hear you.

[volound]

could you respond to my comments then, please?

[kingOFtheFISHpeople]

the problem for me is, you just don't seem to get it. you're getting really angry and shouting 'scum' and 'fascist' at people when there is no real reason to, and you seem to be refusing to acknowledge people correcting your false impression. Seriously, your getting angry over things people haven't even said.

a man can do what he wills but cannot choose what he wills

people also don't do crime for fear of getting caught and being punished. if they didn't why are there repeat non-offenders that outnumber repeat offenders by a factor of 50. this is not up for dispute... you're just being ridiculous.

"People do drugs, steal, and many other things despite the penalties for them."

and people don't do drugs, steal and many other things because of the penalties for them.

"Punishing them doesn't help"

well, the record disagrees.

[wolfwing1]

@ufster81 People that do crime don't think they will be caught, punishing them doesn't deter, if it did why are there so many repeat offenders? Not to mention you then get into idiocy of locking people up for every single petty crime because your supposed to punish them so they won't do it again. People do drugs, steal, and many other things despite the penalties for them. Punishing them doesn't help, sentencing shouldn't be seen as a way to punnish, but to help them or others.

@wolfwing1

no it's not... it's an environmental variable just as other variables in determining the outcome, in this case the behavior of an individual.

"punishing doesn't change things or fixing them"

people who don't commit crimes are an overwhelming majority of the population. i rather think it does, at least to an extent. this is not to say i don't agree with you in that we should also tackle the root causes of complex social issues etc. but facts are facts.

[wolfwing1]

@ufster81 Punishment is nothing more then revenge, and nothing that gains anything, shown time and time again punishing doesn't change things or fixing them, finding the root of the problem does. People should be locked up because they are a danger to others, not because we have a vindictive need to hurt them for what they did.

@wolfwing1

just sentimental bullshit. punishment is a real factor in deciding the outcome of one's actions. as long as this is the case, we are correct in punishing people for killing other people.

Psychology & Law? Where's you Philosophy doctorate at chief?

[KingsIndianCR]

OK - here's what I've decided. If you make a video apologizing to all the people whose responses you've misrepresented, straw-manned and/or purposely ignored; admitting that you're a mere creationist with respect to the issue of determinism/free will; and promising not to speak about the subject again until you have at least a basic understanding of it, then I'll begin to listen to what you have to say again. Otherwise, goodbye.

Why do you sound like your nose is absolutely filled to the brim with snot? It's distracting. Also, you're stupid.
