Has sex with stranger

John Lajoie... one talented individual.

That actually makes sense to me...

Humans like to think that they're not animals.
Humans like to think they can socially engineer their nature.

Humans are idiots.

At least most of them are.

It seems that way because idiots speak loudly. Most people aren't idiots.

I'd like to clarify that we all make mistakes and do/say foolish things. To say you and I aren't idiots is dishonest.

Judging from the way the world seems these days, there's more idiots than intelligent people on this planet.

People are a product of their environment and are easily influenced.

In the Southern US children are instilled with religion. You might say that because they don't believe in evolution that they're dumb, but they haven't been taught different, and if they are given the opportunity they're told to disregard it.

On MTV we see spoiled 16yo girls that have never been told no. They act like they deserve everything for doing nothing. It doesn't make them dumb. It's like giving bags of treats to a dog for no reason and then demanding it to perform tasks for no reward.

Knowledge ≠ Intelligence. Intelligence is inherent. Idiocy is subjective and opinion.

You shouldn't think of yourself superior to others.

You are a very smart and educated person and I want you to be in my friends list.

Because I love you.

I Love this thread. All of my thumbs.

The last time I made the argument that you are born with intelligence, and intelligence is only a capacity for learning knowledge, (all different types of knowledge, from conceptual to simple memorization to mechanical to name a few) people thumbed me down and said that studying makes kids smarter and that dumb people are dumb because they don't do well in school, instead of the other way around.

Thank you for making this argument better than I apparently was capable of making it.

about your example about southerners, in my perspective.
I would say that a good quote would be:

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

― Albert Einstein

It's nothing important but i really like that quote and base most of my personalty upon others on it.
I was just wondering if you, as an individual share the same point of view (more/less)
as this quote.
just curious about your personality. I'm not trying to judge you. You just seem like pretty chill person who actually knows "what's up".

cheers

we are just a bunch of cattle ready to be abused by the people that have a higher power
we just got barely out the woods compared to the other +/- 200000 years of our existence like you told we like to think we are high and mighty
reality is different

I never said I was superior, I simply stated my opinion. The way you're raised and the environment you're raised in aren't the two sole factors that determine how intelligent you are. Events that occur in your life, the people you meet, the way you personally view things and process things, are some of the things that make up who you are and determine what you deem acceptable behavior. It isn't that people were raised in such ways that I have issue with, it's that they deem it an acceptable way to view things. People these days seem to be self-entitled and self absorbed brats that have been spoiled rotten, and they see nothing wrong with it.

The way you were posting you counted yourself among the superior, intelligent folk.

As I explained, that's nurture. It's how they were raised and conditioned, they don't know any different. It takes an awful lot to shake the only belief, lifestyle or values you've ever known. Children are highly impressionable. You're acting like Humans aren't animals, that they can't be so easily influenced, that they're born with critical thinking skills, that they all share the same experiences.

I'm vain, jaded, apathetic, unambitious, uncharismatic, emotionally detached and unable to maintain long-term relationships. Just because I was raised in a non-religious household with critical thinking skills and I wasn't handed everything on a silver platter doesn't mean that I'm intelligent.

Your nurturing is beside the point... nurture isn't the only thing that will determine how someone behaves, I already said that so your post serves no purpose. I never said humans weren't impressionable, I didn't even so much as imply it, considering one of my issues is that many people follow the same trend of acting as if common sense was never even something that existed. Most of the culture these days is absolute trash and people blindly follow it, acting like no decent human being would because it's "just the normal thing to do."

Nurture is how our environment influences us. Nature is the inherent. Those are the two thinks which determine who we are so I don't know what you're eluding to.

I don't mean to belittle your speech, but your narrative has consistently been the angsty teenager belief of "everyone is shit, but I'm special". You should keep in mind that the people you look down on may look down on you. You'll find no shortage of your peers in full agreement with what you've said.

The stuff you have posted is the most profound thinking I have read on this website.
Thumbz 4 u

My apologies if that's the tone I'm trying to express my thoughts with, but being special isn't exactly important to me. If people choose to look down on me then that's their choice, seeing as I have no control over what they think and vice versa.

I was never trying to argue what factors determine how a person learns and develops their personality and attitude, simply state that I personally disapprove of the general attitude of most people these days.

You disagree with the attitude of most people that are on tv nowadays. If you would take the time to meet people you would realize that a lot of people are decent by your standards.

Oh? Where did I state that the people I was referring to were on tv? I'm speaking from personal experience with such people, and how they seem to outnumber those that are actually decent human beings. Don't make assumptions.

You must have a lot of pet peeves then to make you hate that many people.

It's not the people I hate, simply the behavior I dislike.

you are intolerant

You do realize that "you are intolerant" is a judgement, right?

Just because I dislike a certain attitude doesn't mean I'm intolerant, it's ignorant to assume so.

I don't have to meet 3.5 billion people, you could consider those people that I've met and decided are idiots a sample size. When scientists research a certain subject and there's a large amount, or when researchers send out surveys, they don't do it all at once. They take a sample size and base their results off that.

Certain people act stupidly and immaturely, whether or not you think me judging them is okay is irrelevant. The amount of people that act in such a way is irrelevant. I never said ALL the people in the world act in such a way, just that most do. Going out and meeting every single person in the world would be tedious and serve no purpose because even if I did, and say you were right, that most of them aren't that idiotic, the fact is there will still be that large population that acts like that.

Either way my opinion is correct, regardless of the amount of people in question.

thank goodness somebody agrees

who makes you the judge of acceptable behavior?

You say that as if nobody judges anyone else, but they do. I'd be willing to bet that even you judge the actions of others. Unless you can truthfully say that you find the actions of another person neither offensive or wonderful, you have no right to take offense to my views of the general attitude I believe most people have these days.

I suppose my opinion can be viewed as judgement, though I prefer the term observation. Either way, whether it's regarded as observation or judgement, unless you can say you don't do it as well regardless of the subject in question, your statement is hypocritical.

I don't judge at all.

What do you think of me?

I think that you are a person voicing your opinion.

And what do you think of me so obviously trying to get you to give an opinion of me?

I think you are trying to get me to judge you, which I never do.

And I think you're just saying that while avoided giving out any actual opinion due to wanting to avoid being accused of judging me. The truth is everyone judges, no exceptions. You aren't someone that views humanity from a non-biased point, whether or not you think you judge, you do. I don't need to goad you into judging me in order for that to be true, nor do I care to waste my time trying to do so.

You don't know me. I just proved to you that I don't judge period, never have, never will.

I don't need to know you. Exactly how did I prove your point? This is the internet, where anyone can make claims without needing to back it up, and where people can easily pretend things about them are true that aren't. It's not hard to make it seem like you don't judge, simply use non-descriptive words and reduce your statements to simple facts such as "You are right, I do not know you." much like what you've done in response to me. A few posts over the internet prove nothing.

Yea and you cannot prove that I judge people because I don't.

Except that.. you know, you did. Calling me intolerant is a judgement, and a false one at that.

Yet again it won't allow me to reply directly to your message, this is in response to #370.

Hate is a strong dislike, and disliking something, as I've already said, is different from intolerance. You say you don't judge, yet you call me intolerant, whether or not I gave you reason to believe I'm intolerent you decided that I am. That's a judgement, and because of that as long as you continue to say that you don't judge you only lose credibility.

to #368
but it is already a proven fact that you are intolerant because you make the generalization that you hate most people when you probably don't even know them. Plus, I don't judge so it must be a fact.

Seeing as it won't let me reply to your message bemysenorita, I'll have to post this response as a reply to my earlier post.

My disliking the attitude of certain people doesn't mean I'm intolerant, I'm not out on a mission to eliminate them nor do I act out against them violently. Disliking something and being intolerant of something are two entirely different things.

A judgement is an opinion it is a proven fact that you are intolerant.

You can't fuck with human nature.

this should have more thumbs

Excuse me.

Padeophile.

lol loli's

What Im actually doing

That must have been awkward.

Oh god....

DO.NOT.WANT

That was a very good roll. You lucky bastard.

True, but the implications are entirely different. To most guys, more sex is a compliment, whereas it's an insult to a woman, and vice verse.

Yes. This. Thank you for putting into words what I could not.

That's a hole different situation.

I really hope you were going for a pun on that one.
