If we can bring your ex-hudband's psychotic family to watch it with us, then I can whip up a potent poison, put it in some Kool-Aid, let them meet their makers. Wow! I never knew that. Thanks! Dun dun DUN! -Duxwing

My mind's eye, it burns! :eek: -Duxwing

:D That seems like a bit of a disproportionate response-- I mean, if he wanted to suffer, then living on would provide him an exceptional opportunity to devise all sorts of creative tortures. Also, to refute the idea of Jesus "dying for out sins" even if Jesus really were the son of God...

I feel terrible when I've done bad things. Heck, I still have regrets about some of my old misdeeds. -Duxwing

I couldn't agree more. I can't stand more than a few minutes of drama and emotion, and oftentimes I feel like I'm observing the characters through a glass pane instead of letting the work move me, but I love a moving scene. -Duxwing

I need an alarm clock lest I fall back asleep, so my dad set mine to play NPR at wake-up time. It's actually quite a nice way of waking up. -Duxwing

Oh dear. :) -Duxwing

Among others. :D The only difference between constructive cricitism-- which is what I think that you mean-- and insults-- which is what I think that he means-- is that the former can tell you how to avoid the latter. But many 'critics' (and I speak in broad terms) are less interested in...

If Marcus is an allegory to Jesus, then Marcus really didn't suffer at all, for if Jesus really were God, then he could just shut his pain receptors off and go back to infinite paradise when the ordeal ended. Ergo, Marcus was essentially not in any pain at all. He won.* -Duxwing *At least...

O.o? -Duxwing

So you build a castle of intuition on a foundation of logic-adjusted emotion adjusted in order manifest your heartfelt ideals in concrete reality? -Duxwing

More abstractly? -Duxwing

I mean the question honestly! I literally have no "file" for that question. -Duxwing

Before agriculture, people had no food. I'll take tooth decay over starving any day. Moreover, although progress creates new problems, the sum of the new problems is never greater than that of the old problem-- otherwise, we'd go back to the old way. And as we keep pushing onward, solutions...

Well... What can INFJ's do? -Duxwing

We could use this thread to better understand the utility of the different types. I voted INFJ because I don't understand what they bring to the table. -Duxwing

Re: Type Reading | Series Awwwww yeaaaaah. There's nothing like cutting someone's argument to bits by splitting the finest logical hairs. It feels sooooo gooood, like cracking every joint in your body. :) -Duxwing

You're not driving when you're stoned, right? I hope not. -Duxwing

I have an alternative wedding song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2W_3uXqsfw -Duxwing

Welcome, newcomer. :) -Duxwing

No, but I know those who've grown up there. For example, the denizens of Nairobi refer to their city as "Nairobbery" in honor of its lurid crime rate. For example, those who drive into the city with their arm hanging out the window of their car are liable to have their exposed extremity...

Moreover, who will answer the questions? -Duxwing

That's your inferior Fe talking: try finding something that will allow you to help others via your Ti and Ne. -Duxwing

Ohhh, OK. Thanks! :) -Duxwing

OK, now I think I can see it a bit better. And uh-oh, it looks Freudian. Cognisant really did go on a tear about how lonely he was a few days back, but the first one seems odd... very odd.. *shudders* I know I'm going to sound intensely stupid saying this, but: Huh, I never thought of that...

Hmm? -Duxwing

Ohhhhh! I see, now. Now who made the invalid inference, again? Indeed, then our robot euthanasia teams will cry "Hooooo Arrrrgh! Cumm to we Deathmoler! Hoooo Arrrgh!"* -Duxwing *Or nothing at all, but I like the quote. :D

Me too. -Duxwing

What if a story had a happy ending that followed from rigorous logic? :D You're preaching to the choir, sir, preaching to the choir. :) -Duxwing

I don't entirely understand what you mean by "should it". -Duxwing

I never said that you aren't: in fact, my entire point was that you're civil toward me despite being so. Kuu, on the other hand, isn't, and therefore must have other reasons for her actions, and I asked her if she just didn't like me for reasons unrelated to whether I break the forum rules or...

Perhaps a welfare system in which all capable members involuntarily contributed according to ability and received according to need would be most preferable? Contribution would be involuntary simply because one's health, as pertains to accidents and major illness, is an accident of history, and...

Oh my... O_O -Duxwing

What is natural is not necessarily good. -Duxwing

It'll fall into the archives on its own. -Duxwing

In theory, and to my knowledge, yes, Ne lets INTPs blend into crowds. I've also found such to be the case in my own life: when I'm in class, I'm an intellectual, when I'm talking to football players, I'm 'one of the guys'. -Duxwing

I can understand criticizing me for being an armchair psychotherapist, but I can't recall ever presenting my own knowledge as absolute. So, unlike the know-it-all that I allegedly am, I ask you, wherein have I presented as such? I would certainly rather not present as such, but evidently I...

Awwww, your Ne is coming in. Use it wisely. -Duxwing

Perhaps you're so deep in the depression/social starvation that you mentioned earlier that the happiness of a happy ending reminds you of the contrast between what you wish you could have and what you do have. -Duxwing

Indeed, we were all atheists, once, and we got along just fine. -Duxwing

Non-sequitur: P->Q Q Therefore P No value judgment there. -Duxwing

He never said that it was good. He said that eugenics would have a certain effect. Nevertheless, he ought to have included ethics. -Duxwing

And that's why we consider the ethics of what we do, too. Nevertheless, he was only examining the effects of eugenics-- not the ethics. -Duxwing

*shudders* -Duxwing

His point is that killing all people with hereditary illnesses before they reproduce would greatly reduce the prevalence of those illnesses in the general population independently of whether the act would be morally sound. -Duxwing

In many cases, the voluntarism would be based upon proximity. And ought we not to demand care-- by force if necessary-- for orphans, for example? They can and will 'repay their debt to society,' but not if they're left starving in the street. Moreover, hungry hands know no bounds. How...

:o He who goes beneath the surface does so at his peril. -Duxwing

Sampling bias: we tend to remember what is most interesting and discard the boring details, in this case, the vast, silent group of atheist, non-patriotic Americans. When Hallward finishes the picture, it is as beautiful as Dorian. After Dorian makes his deal with the Devil, however, it...

By definition, all axiomatic systems of thought consist of statements held to be true despite not being demonstrated and the conclusions drawn therefrom. Logically, the axioms of any axiomatic system of thought determine the conclusions that can be derived from it. However, since one can...

In another thread you mentioned working at a call center, and in this thread, you've mentioned that you've been drinking and smoking so much that your next days have been rough. To an outside observer, you seem to be stuck in a dead-end. -Duxwing
