haven't you been paying attention? these are both ways of extending a basic metaphor that the author doesn't elaborate for us. if you MUST elaborate. the basic point is "different people have different moral codes"

funny isn't it when your own ideas come back and slap you in the face. like your idea about science and drug dealers.

anyway, after you made that point, i said I could easily reframe the debate to take account of that point, because it's already been done in an essay. You think i'm lying about the essay? I can go and find out the author and publication RIGHT NOW, in fact there's AT LEAST TWO essays that use the idea, and they're on the Pulp Fiction dvd and they appeared in big periodicals like the NY Times. But you can take my word for it, because i'm not dishonest

that's why I said "necessarily"
obviously they do affect peoples views
but the point would be that ULTIMATELY the connections are arbitrary
that's what makes it an original point worth making, and not stating the fucking obvious

it's so funny watching you scramble to make your triumphant proclamations of stupidity, IN CAPITAL LETTERS

but it's also a waste of time, so i'm not responding anymore
