That's a nice opinion for someone who doesn't spend 5 hours a day in a small room with 30 nine year olds. Bring on the Ritalin. :)

Materially speaking, everything new. New is the latest, most advanced, most efficient. New will last a long time. New is reliable. New requires less maintenance. New can be trusted to function. Should something unforeseen happen to New, it can be easily remedied since all the constituent parts...

Not sure why I was called out in this thread. I teach English to 3rd and 4th graders. This is clearly a supervisor/employee relationship, not a teacher/student one. Seems like the word 'students' is being used in a potentially confusing way by the OP. Observations: My students are accustomed...

I don't 'adopt' frames of mind, and find the very idea to be quite credulous.

No, because it's easier if you just wait awhile longer and experience it yourself. :) Pretty much. Actually, succeeding at unpopular things, like learning, is also at risk of having negative social consequences. "We don't need to learn, because we already know." Actually it's more like 38...

It's the triple P syndrome. Puberty Peer Pressure Parents that are always right, even when they're wrong. Actually, that's an over-simplified explanation. Really, it seems like the majority of teenagers I've worked with are simply emulating the older adults in their lives. Also, they're both...

I'm a dolphin. Molest me.

I did not absorb his post thus. Seems more like he no longer feels the need to prove to himself or others that his ideas are sound, valid, correct, etc. To me that's more symbolic of self-assurance than self-doubt. But whatever. I fully concur. I work with a lot of bright, able, yet totally...

(sic) Just curious, because I've seen you do this more than once, so I have to ask... Do you believe that minimizing the font size makes your proclivity for being a condescending judgment queen somehow less noticeable, or is it just some sort of strange, sub-conscious guilt complex kicking in?

Oh so very (see above).

Let's just say "Politically Motivated" and blame it on politicians in general.

I'm not surprised he asked. Credulous to make assumptions about what a person who is facing death will ask.

Terrorists without beards? What the fuck were they thinking? US citizens being paranoid of foreign accents is part of The Great American Tradition. Nothing new there.

LA = Los Angeles, Louisiana, Laos or something else?

Economically speaking, I wouldn't do it. Based on OP description, it's akin to putting new tires on a car that's about to throw a rod. Even if the old tires are worn to the point that they're ready to fail, it just doesn't make good economic sense to invest anything in a machine that's near the...

When I lived in San Pedro, CA I used to occasionally see strange lights, and what appeared to be extremely fast, erratically moving, glowing objects in the sky at night. Turned out that they were reflective anomalies caused by high powered lights of cruise ships and freighters entering LA...

Park worker feeding chum to the fish out of a very leaky bag. But actually, it's a wet dog. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4892527/Google-Earth-murder-scene-dog.html

A really good salesman knows how to make a million bucks selling puberty.

Heh... :angel01:Yes, my child.:angel01: My father was a natural salesman. He met my mother selling Encyclopedia Britannica sets door to door. Needless to say, she bought a set. Later, my father strongly encouraged me to take up a sales position in his industrial tool and supply telephone...

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 You know, I should hate this movie. The $$black hole budget, completely unfathomable plot, drenched from head to toe in CG effects. I've built up an inherent bias to all that stuff (Thanks Transformers franchise). But I loved it. The sets, costumes, and makeup were...

Hmmm. I've always wondered about "Repetitive Stress Syndrome". Seems like it's less related to bad posture than it is to...repetitive stress. In other words, in another few years this guy's Logitec mouse and ergonomic keyboard are simply going to cut a different groove into his muscles and...

40 years ago it would have been blamed on Communists. Jihad today, something more fashionable tomorrow. But what's the point of arguing with a society that is so deep in denial about the fact that the majority of their enemies are within? You're probably powerless to convince your teacher...

Not into Warhammer. Star Trek: I fancy myself a Klingon, but unfortunately my blood runs Borg blue. Star Wars: I'm of the Han Solo fraternity. No LOTR for me thanks. Animal: African Wild Dog Insect: Cockroach Bird: Birds are lame. Fish: Thresher shark Religious: Mongrel dog

Heh, first they'll need to reform the "This Prison is a smoke-free facility" laws. But it seems doubtful that it'll be legalized by a society with such paranoid delusions about anything that involves...smoke.

What's the difference between a hardline Christian and a hardline INTP? Besides praying to a different dog, nothing.

The will to be an INTP is all it takes to make one thus. What other people think is really of no significance. Because this is where I fit. Yes, all the tests I took came out positive for INTP, but, knowing how the tests work, I could declare myself an ESFJ tomorrow and test myself positive...

Duxwing...is...gonna...TOTALLY...love...you. :)

Welcome, Where exactly do you see this? Oh, I don't know about that. I've seen some of us go fuck out of our way to give an extreme fuck about influencing other people's feelings. The cliquee cliquee atmosphere I sometimes observe here is probably evidence that some of us are at least...

We're totally serious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBkT19uH2RQ

Yes it is...it's a magic number.

Voted INTPs. When it comes right down to it, our perceived strengths are pretty damned useless, not to mention that we're already apparently in the vast minority vs. other types. Also, I'm into self-sacrifice.

"Would it not be more moral to have such laws implemented now to save potential suffering on a global scale?" No. What is it with this human condition of (prematurely) scheming up interventions to thwart perceived outcomes that are really only theories? The dominant species will flourish...

When I was a kid, I remember watching "Little House on the Prairie" on Monday nights. My mother and little sister loved that show, but I hated it with a passion. It followed such a predictable pattern of starting off happy, then turning sad and tragic, then peaking with a 'happy orgasm' at the...

re; @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" From another thread, but a very signature reply from you...

Heh...I totally concur.

I rarely look at faces, especially my own.

Running out of coffee or having the espresso machine break. Fucking check engine light coming on (for the umpteenth time) in my car. Less day-wrecking now that I've bought my own OBD2 scanner and can obtain the codes myself, but still a pain in the ass. When potential clients whose...

VW Vanagon hippies.

Is it that obvious? I should be ashamed. So there's actually like a textbook or something. Do elaborate!

Sorry, but I'm going to call this a very very stupid thought. A torturer only needs to know how to administer severe pain to be effective at his task. That's as complex as it ever has to get.

IMAO your ideas are all based on irrational age stereotypes. In other words, it's all in your head. Don't succumb to that shit. Just live your life however it pleases you. It doesn't make sense to dictate your destiny based on something as arbitrary and unchangeable as biological age.

Noam Chomsky

That's bullshit. :)

I hate math, and couldn't care less about biology, chemistry, physics, and (especially) computer programming. Linguistics is more my forte. Noam Chomsky is my hero. Does that kinda sorta count as art? Also, I like cheese.

"On top, INTPs tend to suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and especially when they are young. This is often referred to as being highly-strung. In other forums, it's been noted and agreed by INTPs, that INTPs tend to not be that great at controlling their emotional...

It's a Dodge 1/2 ton...looks like early to mid '80s vintage. Nice roof extension...not having to stoop over all the time is a plus when living in a van. It's got a propane tank...what do you have in there? A stove and heater? Also, what the heck caused that long diagonal black gash on the side...

My simpleton's logic on this topic has always been "Give them jobs, not money." It seems to me a society that is in the position to provide the latter but not the former is just living on borrowed time.

Heh heh heh...What are you trying to do, drown me? I already have more vicarious youth than I can stand via my 2 children, thank you very much. :)

Heh, you so funny! :)
