RE: Can we please stop calling it Reward Pool Rape!
I think the word rape in the context of "Reward Pool Rape" fits the second definition of the word:
"the wanton destruction or spoiling of a place or area:
"the rape of the Russian countryside"
synonyms: destruction · violation · ravaging · pillaging · plundering · desecration"
Sometimes words have more than one meaning. Gay can still mean "happy" too :).
Of course your correct, but that's not the idea that is usually invoked
That's how I always interpreted it. But Reward Pool Plundering or Pillaging sounds good as an alternative too. I don't think we should rob words of their definitions though by saying we shouldn't use them for purposes for which they were intended.
I like pillaging more than plundering. Has a better ring to it.
it's all rape.
Yep, reward pool plunder sounds a lot better, and it means the same by definition.
And to someone that think people should be allowed to vote on themselves exclusively because it's their investment will still see rape, because to them it means the same thing. You're obviously trying to appease people that have retarded their sense of fairness.
That´s a fact of life, some people are egotistical and some are caring. Put them both to coexist in a network with loose rules, and guess which one takes advantage of which? Just like in the real world IMO.
The point is that appeasing people who have retarded their sense of fairness is kinda pointless. The fact of life requires action. Some people don't want to know that there is willing ignorance and they cannot see that it basically means that we have two intelligent species: one who is concerned with oneself as a PART of the whole, and the other who's concern is ONLY to oneself at the expense of the whole world. Ignoring the whole for the self is a choice and despite the choice being made by intelligent beings its still a stupid choice that is considered in the poorest of ways and approached from a lack of conscience. Moral ruin is saying "whatever" in the face of wrong, excusing, or even deflating lies, theft, and abuse. If this was a guessing game let me ask you plainly how much of the people do you think is one species and how much is another and remember that regardless of your experiences and in spite of "statistics" this is only opinion, and is it not obvious who's the overwhelming majority? There's a lot of silent people who either want to absolute the topic of greed or to ignore it who are otherwise not greedy, then there's the deluded that sympathize with their parasite and then there's the parasites themselves, who all speak up. And then there's a few of me out there, exactly repaying in kind the senseless act of Self Censorship. Rape is such a horrible word, let me guilt trip you with some Emotion Appeal Fallacy to stop you from using the word's very own definition to describe what is happening because people cannot be trusted to read before reacting, animals would do better. Have you seen the video of the chimp remembering with 100% accuracy where twenty numbers were on a screen after being flashed for only ONE SECOND and touching those areas in order from 1-20. Do you understand that there is NO HUMAN BEING that is smarter than a chimp at that "puzzle"? Even dogs recognize stealing. Can't fault them for not recognizing greed as if man was different. I must be a pig, it's a fact of life.
