you realized how wrong you were so you trying to deflect by pointing out at unrelated stuff? fair enough, lets tackle this again
the Gemma/Iniyah post is just a speculation, a theory. we call them that because of lack of foundation and solid proof for them.
Whether gemma and iniyah are android or real people is educated guess at best right now. some guesses make more logic than other but they all have some level of legitimacy.
however, when you say sun is essential for human lives and humans cant exist without a sun even if it is harmful to some and/or to some extent that is not a theory or speculation that is proven and undisputed fact. you cant compare the two.
To go back to cop thing. i never said all cops are good, i never said all cops are fair. i did not even make exaggerated claim that most of them are good. I simply stated the fact that cops role in society is to protect and serve by following the law and LOT (not all, not most, LOT) of people legit become cops to protect innocent people. and that is undisputed fact too. I am not denying your feelings and opinion, i am not saying your problems dont exist. corruption in police inside USA is real threat and real problem, i am not saying you are wrong to feel certain way about cops. My statement that lot of people became cops to protect innocent and your opinion that cops are racist and powerhungry narcisists can and do coexist. But your level of extremism and coping mechanism showcased in your original reply is solid proof that you are the laughing stock in this conversation. i wouldnt go as far as to call it undisputed fact, but i am comfortable about it
Yes, the frame of references I have are very different from yours, no doubt. No two people, even from the same locality, have the same lives. Every person sees things through different filters. That's the only truth. I grew up in a less fortunate area of New York City, in the Bronx, when it was famous for its' crime and corruption (think Serpico and Fort Apache times). I didn't grow up in the South Bronx, but it wasn't a great area. The police back then had a motto: "to Protect and to Serve" on their cars. They really didn't live up to it even then. Twenty years later they stopped pretending, and removed the motto. The PRIMARY purpose of the Police is to protect the property and privilege of the elite. Anything else is window dressing. General disorder is bad for business, so laws are created and enforced. Only the poor get penalized, outside of really egregious things, and the rich make deals, and can afford lawyers good enough to get them out of the real shit. Even most well meaning police have to go along to get along, and the thin blue line keeps "good" cops from turning on the bad ones. Do you know what a "bad" cop is? It's a criminal with a badge. It's a crime not to report a crime, so all cops are by definition bad, if they don't actively report bad cops. "Some of those that work forces are the one that burn crosses." Europe is not immune to this with the growth of the ultra right-wing, which have many supporters among law enforcement and the military.
There's lots that I disagree with, and spouting on about "just theories" and whatnot is silly, because obviously that's true, and I even said that myself. My theories are grounded in what I perceived in the story, but my perceptions are not always accurate, and I play a LOOOOOOOT of these games at the same time, which often makes me confuse some things. I never claimed to be perfect. BUT. I don't just make up theories without some basis in the game. It seems to me that a lot of people miss the point of some of the material, and have a basic misunderstanding of some of the relationships, but a lot of that could be based on translation issues or cultural differences. We are allowed to disagree with each other, or why bother discussing things.
I don't think is funny at all and I agree with most points of view of cayseron, for most of the rest of world that is just common sense and you simply are projecting your own reality. Not saying that here in Portugal/Europe there isn't issues because there is and you are just twisting their words and being disrespectful by saying its funny or good for a laugh maybe because you just don't have a good and valid argument against it.
This is what I mean, they had to explain what they meant and seemed clear to me the first time, unnecessary if you didn't deflect with accessory. It is just common sense. I like you Maccabbee and agree with many things you say (many times not the way you say it, seems too extreme for me) but not this time.
As I said, could be cultural differences involved here. Maybe not. I also do not respect anyone just out of hand. Respect must be earned, and most people don't deserve it, gooners less than most (and boy, am I a gooner!)
I am very scattered lately, due to stress from life and work, so I am not as coherent as I usually am. I am also not going to spend time to argue point by point on every post as I read it. Nobody's got time for that. I found a lot of cayseron's post to be just plain wrong, and with no basis. The part I quoted, specifically, is what I found outrageous enough to be laughable. I explained why above. I can't take someone seriously who spouts naive bullshit like that. None of the rest were totally outrageous, I just didn't find the need to argue and state my differing opinions, they've mostly been posted ad nauseam before.
