What a stupid piece of shit
This is hilarious in its lameness.It looks like Scott Adams isn't have a very good year image-wise.
Dilbert Creator Pretends to Be His Own Biggest Fan on Message Boards
But guys... He's a certified genius!
Oh yes, I'm aware. I was mocking the line his pseudonym kept using, pointing out again and again that Adams has a "certified genius IQ"Genius doesn't mean "good, rational person." In fact, many geniuses should probably be considered insane and anti-social.
I enjoy the comic too, and a lot of his stuff is funny. He's just a little wrapped up in his own little world, and whether he's trolling or truly unhappy and lashing out doesn't matter - it's just odd and inappropriate behavior.I still like Dilbert...
AT&T engineer smart. It's a niche. Doesn't carry over well.I thought this guy was supposed to be smart.
That is what I'm getting. I think some people are just thin skin and just want to have sensationalize news.I hate to say it but I think he's got some points. He never says rape is a natural instinct. That is bad reporting. What he DOES say is that society forces men to curb their natural desires - whatever they may be - and that women's instincts are applauded. The stuff he's talking about is the wussification of the man in today's society. It's become a crime to get into fights as either an adult or child, even though these are used to determine the alpha/beta levels of the species. In the past if someone insulted your family you would give them a poke in the nose to train them on their unacceptable behavior. Now you'd get sued/arrested. Men no longer have a place in the world to be men - we're nothing more than stronger women.
What he said is not politically correct but that doesn't make his point invalid.
Well sure, I think anyone with half a brain could look at that article and realize it was pulling stuff from his post and exaggerating it to a "crazy" level, but does it really matter? Once it's labeled with something like "SCOTT ADAMS LOVES HIM SOME RAPE!!!" you get stuck in that weird place where if you try to even discuss, let alone argue any merits to his real points, you get stuck in the "pro-rape" crowd. I've already seen this thing circulating the Facebook and it's all about how he's "pro-rape", etc, etc.I hate to say it but I think he's got some points. He never says rape is a natural instinct.

Dude. I'm never going to one of your barbecues.Can we talk about how to rape a steak?
Someone hasn't been checking the news since you posted...Strangely enough, his points are pretty close to those espoused in Fight Club - and the message of that movie resonated with a lot of people. I'm not afraid to voice my views on this and thankfully I haven't been labeled as "pro-rape" by any stretch. I think it speaks to this place as a place where people can discuss (most) things and (usually) be met with an open mind.
steak is to easy, it always wants it. Always with its juices flowing and showing so much flesh.Can we talk about how to rape a steak?
That's easy, you cook it to well-doneCan we talk about how to rape a steak?
As long as it is not one of those Fancy Japanese Fecal Matter Steaks.As long as it's not how to cook a steak.
Somehow this feels like a Vonnegut plotline: population boom equals food shortage. Solution? Synthesize food from human waste matter. Absurd yes, but Japanese scientists have actually discovered a way to create edible steaks from human feces.
Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, has developed steaks based on proteins from human excrement. Tokyo Sewage approached the scientist because of an overabundance of sewage mud. They asked him to explore the possible uses of the sewage and Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein because of all the bacteria.
The researchers then extracted those proteins, combined them with a reaction enhancer and put it in an exploder which created the artificial steak. The “meat” is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. The researchers color the poop meat red with food coloring and enhance the flavor with soy protein. Initial tests have people saying it even tastes like beef.
Inhabitat notes that “the meatpacking industry causes 18 percent of our greenhouse gas emissions, mostly due to the release of methane from animals.” Livestock also consume huge amounts of resources and space in efforts to feed ourselves as well as the controversy over cruelty to animals. Ikeda’s recycled poop burger would reduce waste and emissions, not to mention obliterating Dante’s circle for gluttons.
The scientists hope to price it the same as actual meat, but at the moment the excrement steaks are ten to twenty times the price they should be thanks to the cost of research. Professor Ikeda understands the psychological barriers that need to be surmounted knowing that your food is made from human feces. They hope that once the research is complete, people will be able to overlook that ugly detail in favor of perks likeenvironmental responsibility, cost and the fact that the meat will have fewer calories.
Waste not; want not.
Scott Adams - creator of the successful Dilbert cartoons - has got himself into hot water for posting on his blog that, in his opinion, rape is a 'natural instinct' for men.
The blog post - entitled Pegs and Holes - starts of with Adams musing about a lion and a zebra at a watering hole. Adams decides that if the lion killed the zebra, then both parties are to blame.
The next paragraph is where things get a little edgier, with Adams focusing on the recent scandalous behaviour of certain actors, footballers and other men in power.
'Now consider human males.' Adams writes. 'No doubt you have noticed an alarming trend in the news. Powerful men have been behaving badly, e.g. tweeting, raping, cheating, and being offensive to just about everyone in the entire world. The current view of such things is that the men are to blame for their own bad behavior. That seems right. Obviously we shouldn't blame the victims. I think we all agree on that point. Blame and shame are society's tools for keeping things under control.'
He then states that 'The part that interests me is that society is organized in such a way that the natural instincts of men are shameful and criminal while the natural instincts of women are mostly legal and acceptable.'
The online buzz against Adams is building as a lot of people have naturally taken offence to such a statement. It seems like Adams has developed a taste for controversy, as it's only three months since the last furore involving his blog.
Asked to right something about men's rights back in March, the old charmer declared: '[W]omen are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It's just easier this way for everyone. [.] You save your energy for more important battles.'
