Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

Also, I was perfectly able to figure out you meant Austria just by searching Child Corporate Punishment Laws on wikipedia for the string "1977".

@gnomicutterance There's also a handy-dandy map there showing how in the "developed" (I use the term advisedly, as usual) world the English-speaking countries are obvious outliers.

Which would have been a useful thing to include in your comment if you wanted people to understand what you're talking about.

I know I'm the badie for expecting people to use basic sense when constructing an argument in a public forum but if people don't express what they mean then there's no point them talking.

And yes it's an interesting thing you point out and there may be some merit to it
