Until mods(minus chaos) came and squashed down the conversation. Talk about chilling effect.

Soy is just mad because a majority of this thread was long conversation. His little quips didn't fit until the argument died down.

My little quips fit everywhere. They're little.

If my joking and saying 'the thread is over' killed the conversation, I apologize.

This right here. Fucks sake you guys are worse than the fuckin SJW's themselves at this point! We get it! They are wimpy, lazy, whiny, crying fucktards who want nothing more than to have you acknowledge you had an advantage, that doesn't exist. Who cares at this fuckin point. Move on. Go fight for a real cause that people give a fuck about...Like my sneakers.

That is not what luck is.
You are diluting the meaning of the word.
Been lucky to be born x/y/z race is as trivial as saying, I'm lucky to be alive, when nothing bad has happen to you. Or saying, I'm lucky to he a human. Or saying We are lucky that our ancestors did xyz.
If there is no chance for something, then there is no lock. There is zero chance that I would have been born in a diferent in a different country or era, hence, there is no luck involved.

Did you have any control over where you were born, when you were born, or from whom you were born? No? Did you benefit from where, when, and from whom you were born? Yes? Then that's luck.

And somehowIhave the reputation for devolving discussions into petty semantics arguments.

It was pretty clear. It's okay though Tan, no need for you to be able to comprehend the language at the level a child should be able to. Not like you teach it or anything.

I misunderstood his post. I legit thought he was trying to contribute to the conversation, and I didn't see how what he said related to my point. Had I realized it was a content-free shitpost, I would have ignored it. My apologies.

I'm still confused about this lucky / fortunate aspect. I need soy to really dig in here and explain it to me.

Slowly. Like you would to a earnest but incredibly stupid child.

If you were luckier you would have understood it the first time.

I'm certainly lucky to have been raised in a time where I was never called to arms, yes.

OK the definition of luck is success or failure based on chance not your own doing. So being born in America constitutes success? How do you explain all the unsuccessful then?

Also you teach English? Now we know what's wrong with the US academically.

Luck has to do with the outcome of an action based on the statistical probability of said outcome. If an outcome falls under the expected statistical outcome, the outcome is not lucky or unlucky.
For example I am not lucky of waking up every morning, because that is the statistical probability of it. If I were a 90 year old man, then of course I'm lucky to wake up every morning, as the statistical probability of me dying in my sleep is super high.

That is how I personally see luck, as the outcome of anything compared to its expected outcome.

Luckily, I wasn't alive during WW2. So yes.

Compared to being born in a third world country, being born in the US is absolutely a success. You were successful in getting all the rights, freedoms and opportunities that come with being an American, and you did nothing to earn it.

We all were.

But we were all unluckier when the mod team decided it would be funny to troll the community by keeping him around.
