- pg 19y agoPica's comments on reddit seem to be invisible, so I can't say, but richardkulisz, definitely. His comments are loaded with ad hominems.
- byrneseyeview 19y agoShe's deleted them recently. Google Reader still has them, so: "Although criminals harm society, and slaves are seeking freedom, from the point of the criminal or slave (who is a criminal, de jure, for running away), the outcome is the same: very negative feedback. You mention "the value pyramid". I don't see that: if you get caught and "massa" cuts your big toes off, you are back where you started, plus a whipping and minus your big toes. You'll be gimping around for a long time after that. The only good thing is that at that point, you can't be sold off to work in the rice. But that's about it; you are pretty screwed. The only way it works is if you've got a chance of getting away. Then it could be worth it. As most slaves had no chance of getting away, they were nuts to do it." There's a racist crack, and a very unpopular viewpoint, but as far as I know she's actually debating ideas, not just baiting people. Is this kind of thing acceptable?
