"Income Inequality"...

At least I try to become knowledgable about the subject and the ratification process.

Agreed.

Yet another thing that you do not understand. Appeal to authority is valid when there is broad agreement among experts in the field. That is not the case with Federal Farmers yammerings.

No, you fucking idiot, that's when appeal to authority becomes appeal to consensus, which is still fallacious. Neither appeal to authority nor appeal to consensus is fucking ever valid. Ever. They are both fallacious. Fucking moron.

I guess actually picking up a book that has been written by experts on the subject doesn't count? Feel free to refute anything I've said though, please prove me wrong. I expect citations.

You're very confused. Appeal to consensus is an entirely different thing and typically relates to non-experts. Look it up.

You want me to look it up, you brainless sack of shit? Do you? Because guess what's about to happen right here in this fucking post, you squirrel-fellating sack of crap? I'm going to look it up. And I'm going to post it. And what I post is going to wreck your shit. Ready? You sitting down?

Read about the Appeal To Consensus here. It has nothing to do with any distinction between experts and laymen. None. Experts, laymen, if you rely on numbers of adherents to your idea to support your idea, you've committed argumentum ad populum. Period. You're wrong, numbnuts. You've been wrong. And until you come around, you're going to keep being wrong. And I'm going to keep mocking you -- rightfully -- for your wrongness.

You want to regain some clout here? Quit bein' fuckin' wrong.

Let me spell this out for you, you fucking idiot -- odds are real damn good that I'm smarter than you are. You cross me? You're probably wrong. Wisest course of action you can take is to either keep your fucking yap shut or do a shit-ton of homework before you challenge me. Dig?

And once again you fail to read your own link. Do you ever tire of self-pwnage?

Ninth word in the article I linked to, name it.

So, kindly fuck off.

Ninth word in the article I linked to, name it.

You can't. You didn't fucking read it. Which indicates to me that you just spewed some idiot shit without having any idea whatever of what you were spewing about.

You fucking MORON! That's exactly what I fucking said! It's either an appeal to authority or an appeal to consensus! You just named the only time it's not an appeal to consensus as it being an appeal to authority! You fucking dope!

"Duh hurrrr! I didn't fuck up this way, I fucked up the other way!"

DUMBASS!

I mean, seriously, you just walked right the fuck into that shit!

What a maroon! What an ignoranimus!

And no, by the way, your appeal to authority was not the legitimate, non-fallacious version, you fucking idiot.

What is the ninth word? Of? Numbers? So fucking what. The article explains how the exact exception that I cited exists, which you were attempting to refute by posting the article.

EDIT: And now I see that you're attempting to obscure your FAIL in a wall of emoticons. You fool no-one.

Here's "so fucking what" -- you didn't read the fucking article.

Which proves that your response to it was fucking bullshit.

You can't legitimately respond to shit that I can make you demonstrate you haven't fucking read.

Now go fucking read it.

Lazy, lying fucking piece of shit.

A transgendered woman is not a man in drag.

Would you refuse to hire a woman who you felt had a mannish face? How about a woman with small breasts? How about Rooney Mara?

Really, all applicants have to be either fuckable, or non-threatening, based on his personal attractiveness tastes?
How about competent for the job?

How about a retail sales position is at least partially contingent on the aesthetics of the employee in that position, and therefore it is absolutely at the employer's discretion whom he or she puts in that position?

Example: I am an ugly mother fucker. I wouldn't shit all over a potential employer by insisting that my ugly fuckin' ass get put in a position that depends on me bein' pretty. That fucks my job performance and my employer's sales numbers.

I'd be some kind of selfish fuckin' piece of shit to do that. And so would a transwoman who still looks fuckin' manly. it's the ethical move to not do that to an employer. And the employer should be under no obligation to tank his or her fuckin' sales numbers by putting FrankenBetty behind the register just to be "tolerant."

Your boss didn't open a fucking store to be "tolerant." The world does not revolve around your self esteem, Snowflake.

In addition to his BA in history, he apparently earned an MBA by watching Mad Men.

It almost seems like a lot of the attitude toward employers is, "Fuck those assholes! How dare they employ people! The NERVE of them, to not just walk out onto the sidewalk in front of their businesses, throw away every dollar they earned and then step out in front of a speeding bus! The GALL! of them, to create wealth and provide jobs! Those SCUM!"

Of course, my P.A. and my driver think differently, but that's because they know I'm a total dick who's going to continue to pay them.

Don't listen to your brain.
It's not, um....it's not good.
Volpone has this problem too.

Depends on their qualifications.

But looks first, though. Candidate walks in for an interview and instead of looking at her résumé you're thinking "I could do her."

Would you judge male candidates on their relative beauty?

How does your wife feel about this?

No, man! The hell is wrong with you!

Always listen to your brain! Every goddamn time!

Yes. Everybody does. That is a fact. You get your first impression by sight. Just a fact. You can't dodge it, you can't excuse it, you can't deny it. That's how you judge every single person you meet. Yes, you. And me. And everybody else. We all do it. Time to just be honest about it.

As a general global rule for most people, yes.

I was singling you out personally.

But you shouldn't. I just tore RickyRetardo a new asshole you could drive C.W. McCall's Convoy through.

Is he paying you to speak for him now or just stroking you?

Try to get a job dressed like Lil' Wayne and see what happens.

No, you're thinking, "Are customers gonna see this person and turn the hell around and walk out?"

And for someone behind the counter in sales, that is absolutely a valid question. Like it or not, it is a valid question. Because you as an employer might be bound by all kinds of EEOC crap, but your customers aren't.
