Opinion of Hifly

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

In reaction to his latest deluge of horrible posts.

[windjammer]

Third time in three months, wow. (FF)

[Antonio the Sixth]

Who are you to criticize an enlightened academic from Oxford?

[RedSLC]

His massive arrogance has made him the most recent addition to my ignore list.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I don't know. I think I need to see a few more polls about him before I make up my mind.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

It's really bizarre that he always references his academic credentials in policy debates when he isn't even a social science major.

[tmthforu94]

I haven't really seen any of his bad posts, but he has always been friendly to me.

I haven't really seen any of his bad posts, but he has always been friendly to me.

Here's the one that likely caused the creation of this poll:

Just imagine the positions of a 75 year old Southern Baptist... you've got hifly... but give him this, it must be rare to think he's on the winning side of an argument for once.

Are you insane? One could not think of a worse comparison; apart from on maybe 2 issues I don't see how I would have anything in common with a 75 year old Southern Baptist (I assume a white conservative one). And on the limited issues we would agree on our reasoning would be entirely different. Would you also compare Julia Gillard to a Southern Baptist?
I oppose the casual use of all drugs. I also oppose smoking tobacco and persistent alcohol consumption.

This isn't a public policy argument. It's the unilateral decree coming from someone with a tyrannical mindset. If large portions of the population want to use relatively benign drugs, who are you to say otherwise? Your opposition to liberalization of drug laws strikes me as an aesthetic judgement rendered as ethics. The same goes for your positions on gay marriage. You offer no explanation behind your preferences that goes beyond saying "I don't want that".

It's called living in a democracy; I am allowed to not support casual drug, tobacco and persistent alcohol use, because all allow for a damaged society. And the vast, vast majority of the German population does not want to allow for casual use of drugs either, as evidenced by this poll.
I've already clearly offered my argument against redefining marriage numerous times.
And my stances against drug, tobacco and alcohol use have clearly not been a hindrance, as my academic achievements are way beyond those of most who lurk this forum.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

It's not even his stances on drugs and gay marriage that annoy me most, or his refusal to debate with facts.  It's his egotism.

[free my dawg]

eww basic bitches

[Oakvale]

Literally enlightened by his intelligence.

[All Along The Watchtower]

There is no smart without dumb.

Just like there is no light without darkness.

Well, we all know that social science is dominated by affirmative action beneficiaries (women, non-whites) who do not possess the natural gifts and the merit of the truly capable and gifted, so it only figures that the enlightened, intelligent scholars among us-that is to say, those from the more scientific majors-would know best about policy.

[Hifly]

You guys really freak out way too easily.

[Donerail]

You guys really freak out way too easily.

You must forgive us - we're simply not as enlightened as you.

[Lief 🗽]

Wait what is hilfy's major? He's not one of those STEM monsters is he?

[Hash]

Crap.

[Supersonic]

He seems alright. FF.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Gay hating prude with fascist sympathies. All around terrible.

[ElectionsGuy]

I really don't mean to be rude here, but he really seems like an ass in many of his posts. HP for now.

[Miles]

Does he still think I lack the mental capacity to go to an Ivy League school?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I'd love to elaborate, but unfortunately I cannot because the mods might get angry.

No one moderates the FC board when it comes to personal attacks.  That's been clear for some time.

[tik 🪀✨]

sh**t dripping out one's mouth is to be expected when one's head is lodged firmly up his ass.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Worst poster and less civil than opebo.

[Vosem]

He's not one of those STEM monsters is he?

Hifly is an arrogant, douchey HP, unlike the majority of the smart, beautiful people with STEM majors.
