Jim Naseum Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The thing is, regarding the subject of self respect, is that there is a difference between that and mucking it up just for fun. I have little doubt that Einstein would not gladly join in for the piglet chase at the rodeo, even though I also have little doubt that he had a healthy dose of self respect. You can do and have both.Mucking it up doesn't bother me, even though not my thing. It's the resentment for being right, for knowing something for being smart has become palpable, and very ugly. Everyone wants a trophy for a D+. Pull the convo down to their level so they can win. When you don't take a dive for them you get.... Shut up! Yer self righteous! Whine, whine!Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Naseum Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Intelligence or thinking you are means little it you are just filled to the brim with self righteousness. Who do you really think your fooling ? You have been had for a long time now........pretty much from the begining. Actually, it means a lot. Sorry, but "self righteous" is the wrong insult to attempt hurling at me. First, I am rarely wrong and certainly YOU have never been able to point that out, so you would have no way to judge the rightness of anything I say. And, let's understand that being "right" is not considered a sin anywhere in the world except maybe here. I'm thinking now of those poor saps that used to have to face a Nolan Ryan fastball. "It's not fair to throw 105MPH." Uh, yes it is. Batter up! When did America get to be the place where so many resented so much about intelligence? Just look this place. Doesn't anyone have any self respect? I do. So, kill me. shut up mark. there's no room for this garbage in this thread. You don't be happy until everyone is stupid. Sorry kid, not me.Sent from my SM-T330NU using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't anyone have any self respect? I do. So, kill me. Who said it was about you ? Did i quote you or direct anything at you ? I use whatever words i decide, correct or not in your opinion. If I were talking about you deciding who is "right" or not is not up to you, this could be why you say your rarely wrong if your the one to decide right from wrong. I come here for fun, not to debate or choose correct wording, notice I never debated in the old BS section, no interest. The way people speak or the words they choose is not a very accurate way of deciding IQ of someone, this can be very very misleading.

Arrow#422 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) With all due respect, intelligence and provocation for amusement is not synonymous - albeit somewhat common. IQ is a measurement of the "ability to learn", not "how smart" one is nor the amount of information the mind has absorbed. Maybe those IQ points would be more useful in this realization rather than continual antagonistic behavior or long explanatory rebuttals.

Socially, it's not what you say but how you say it.You know, this is fascinating. When I speak, no one thinks it's polite because I try to be right. It's a sin for being too intellectual and taken as socially rude. Right? But for me, all this infantile jabbering is an embarrassment to me just reading it, and imagining that these are grown men. Honestly, I find stupidity to be insulting. That's how different times have become. In my era, smarts was an attribute and snappy conversation that challenged one was a high art. Now? If you don't bring it down to either nonsense or, just very dull droll level with a picture, you get your ears boxed. You don't get corrected, you get chastised by the resentful. You're right to ask, why bother then? My answer is that there were 6 smart people here that made for really fun discussions. And, I know for fact they liked it. But they get beat down too.

One might consider this ability to be the essence of intelligence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow#422 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just morph into whatever position the situation necessitates & dodge any "pinnings" that are attempted. I must say, I was the best at those side-step maneuvers when much younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 my only consolation is knowing that you'll throw another hissy fit, demand your copyrighted material be removed from the forum, and all your pointless posts will no longer clutter my glorious thread.
