How old was the kid? And why do you assume it was his father? Might have been his pet pedophile, though the over-protective gesture would probably be identical for either. You live in the US? It's a possessive, paranoid society, and children are perhaps the greatest recipients of these...

Seems like you evaded his questions somewhat... However, I understand this: "The first cigaret I smoked, was because if I didn't my health would be worse because of the suppression society gave me." The only problem is that it's something only a fellow smoker could grasp. Hmmm...now I'm...

'Shaman' might hit closer to home.

Concept officially invalidated.

Heh, yeah, but so does stupidity.

Um..."Self-immortalization is a sin"...?

Heh, abstaining from Presbyterianism couldn't hurt either. That shit'll kill ya, man. Welcome.

Wait, she smoked pot on camera? That explains the removal. "Wise choice sir, wise choice."

Courage...

I'm telling you, taste doesn't matter. When it comes to bananas, length and girth are key. Bananas will always win through sheer phallic significance. Pineapples are interesting fruits. High marks for texture and flavor, and their juice is second to none. But tapping their goodness is very...

This is petty, but: Traffic is backed-up to a crawl for miles. The light turns green, and immediately the monkey behind me honks his horn. In doing so, said monkey sets off a chain reaction and the entire line of monkeys behind him chime in with near perfect symmetry... Yet, all the monkeys...

This video has been removed by the user... Care to explain?

Christ. I don't even know how to define 'universe'. Here, I'll try... Methamphetamine.

That's a joke, right?

Yeah, you beat me to it. Just going for some simple things... Increased lung capacity would be useful. Perhaps something along the lines of a sea turtle. Increased resistance to natural and man-made toxins. Humans are far too vulnerable in this regard... ...and along with that, greater...

This reads like another intro-worship "I Am Generally Correct About Most Things" masquerading as "I Am Always Correct..." thread. But what the heck, here we go... The main issue here is the inference that other people are generally incorrect about most things. That insinuation is rather...

My initial reaction is, if you're compelled to 'put on a mask to be liked', then maybe the problem is more about your own off-kilter base personality and less about other people's 'erroneous' reactions to it. The thing about 'putting on masks' is that nearly everyone can see those masks as the...

But being late isn't simply about you. Punctuality isn't merely a formality...it's an obligatory element of efficiency. When you're late to a class it's easy to tell yourself "Oh well, I'm the only one who's affected.". But what message are you sending your teacher? I can almost guarantee you...

What the hell? Are you me? I did that for over 12 years and assumed it was my niche until I discovered in my early 40s that teaching is my true niche.

I have a really bad habit of showing up early for work under the false assumption that starting early = finishing sooner. This assumption is obviously incorrect 95% of the time. Strange thing is, I rarely take advantage of the fact that I live in a culture that considers 15 - 20 minute late...

Might have something to do with entrusting positions of authority to people like John Ashcroft.

Yeah, so now it's your turn. :)

Is it just me, or are we slooooooowwwwww? :(

Another cat-worship thread? No manchas.

Actually, I think you have it backwards. Sexual drive and all its associated...potential complications seems a lot more 'primitive/animalistic' than 9 year olds playing hide and seek. I mean, how many pre-pubescent BTK Killers have you heard of? Yes you do (WWF, NFL, etc. etc.). Adults just...

Most falling accidents occur at home. Falling is dangerous, so be careful. :)

1. Actually I'm pretty over-sane. More like a 0.5.

Never graduated high school. In fact, you've got me completely backwards, but that's not surprising. What I actually am is an aftermarket certified ESL instructor. Hence, (and as I've been told) I'm rather adept at picking up nuances of personality in people's writing. I was indeed being...

It has little to do with your username, and much to do with your apparent... condescending arrogance, for lack of a better description. No problem for me personally, but you might incur some difficulties nonetheless.

Observing myself, my kids, and humanity at large rather forces me to conclude that violence is integral to the human condition. To that end, I consider violent media, particularly video games, to be a highly moral alternative to real-life experimentation. Sort of an equivalent to deviant...

For me it swings the other way. I have this tendency to be extremely critical of posts made by users with > 2,000 post counts. I have no sound reasoning for this bias...except maybe jealousy. :) Don't let it happen here:

Strange coincidence you posted that particular link. Was watching this yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfXyMLUshX4

The X-box Live comms would be impressed. Welcome!

INTJf is an interesting lurk-lark, but there are far too many non-negotiable opinions there for active engagement to be satisfying (for me). INTPc is my old running ground, but it's an aggressive forum, mostly due to far too many unwelcoming, condescending, territorial alpha male old-timers...

It's a war against a highly-abstract, vaguely-defined noun, silly! :)

I read the article. My personal reactions differ somewhat. My own cognitive functions seem a lot more efficient and generally sharp now than they ever did in the past (I'm 44). My perceptual speed actually seems significantly faster than it did at 25. I seem to process incoming 'data' streams a...

BigApplePi What are you experiencing?

Musicals aren't really my cup-'o-Joe, so I'm not very familiar with this movie. Seen it a couple times though (my off the cuff impression is that it's a Fe-fest), so I'll take a stab at the two characters I remember the most. Frankenfurter is an ESFJ, but that's a biased assertion on my part. I...

It was a joke. I forgot to include the :) But I now realize it was wrong to make light of other people's misfortune. Please consider this my official apology: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KniUNdVZvH4&noredirect=1

Currently; Waiting for my work visa to be approved. Waiting for my vehicle's transmission to fail. Waiting for my eldest son to begin his descent down the slippery slope of puberty. I'm finding it difficult to inject creativity into such a passive process.

I completely understood the point, and totally disagree. Notwithstanding that 'moral ideals' are not universally definable, I believe there are situations where sound 'moral ideals' would make it JUSTIFIABLE to rationalize cheating. Case in point: Our old Verizon internet service in the US...

Ants are tenacious, industrious little bastards. I enjoy watching them carry dead insects 50 times larger than themselves on insanely long journeys back to their nest... Which makes their apparent affinity for committing mass suicide in my dog's water bowl all the more puzzling.

I find nothing particularly moral in either religion or The Ten Commandments. Hence, I disagree entirely. If anything, my willingness to cheat increases after a "what passes for morality" guilt trip has been laid on me. Being burned, cheated, robbed, lied to, and generally fucked-over by...
