Odd, didn't I just say I assume I'm SMARTER than people I don't understand? Are you babelfishing my comments again?

No perfect rebuttal. Oh, now I have one: You sound kind of sad and boring when you smugly respond with my suggested response. Also, psych - I'm not planning these conversations that far ahead, nor trying to end them quickly. I think if I understood someone's perception about something, I'd think I was at least as smart as that person. If I didn't understand his perception, I'd think I could either be smarter or dumber. And I'd be inclined toward smarter. If it sounds like I'm just rehashing my first comment, that's because I think you didn't get or answer it. PS-It's too late to dodge with 'guys who are smarter in areas'. Stick with your original statement: You prefer a man who's smarter than you. We'll assume on-average smarter, thank you.

Christ, this is poorly-worded. My excuse is it's my birthday, I'm 26 and slightly drunk in Muslim public.
Re: a comment on I don't rhyme enough, eh? by Niphredil	29-Oct-05/12:08 PM
I have a genuine question: How do you know when a person is smarter than you? I mean, if he says something you don't understand, are you more likely to assume he's talking about something beyond your lesser intelligence, or something stupid and nonsensical? As long as you start with an assumption like "I'm astonishingly smart", it's practically untestable, right?

Yes, but the women you get in college tend to have more teeth and are less likely to smell like a fry vat.

I never said trying not to be crazy would make an actually crazy person not crazy; I said it's a good idea to try, crazy or not. Neither did I say a crazy person will think defecating is the most logical thing he does that day. Defecating WILL be the most logical thing he does; but he'll likely THINK pulling out his own teeth (or, for that matter, lying prostate and pleading for salvation) is the most logical thing. That's the part of crazy pretend-crazies don't get.

Yeah, I started having doubts as soon as I posted that. This from the Center for Disease Control, 2002. American males 15-44 years of age with no high school or GED - No sexual contact with females: 3.1% - Had sex but not in the last 12 months: 6.0% - 1-2 partners in the last 12 months: 69.4% - 3 or more in the last 12 months: 12.6% - Average number of sexual partners per lifetime: 5.5 American males 15-44 years of age with high school or GED - No sexual contact with females: 3.1% - Had sex but not in the last 12 months: 5.1% - 1-2 partners in the last 12 months: 79.8% - 3 or more in the last 12 months: 9.5% - Average number of sexual partners per lifetime: 7.0 American males 15-44 years of age with some college, no degree - No sexual contact with females: 3.3% - Had sex but not in the last 12 months: 7.5% - 1-2 partners in the last 12 months: 77.7% - 3 or more in the last 12 months: 10.5% - Average number of sexual partners per lifetime: 6.7 American males 15-44 years of age with bachelor's degree or higher - No sexual contact with females: 3.9% - Had sex but not in the last 12 months: 8.4% - 1-2 partners in the last 12 months: 78.3% - 3 or more in the last 12 months: 7.3% - Average number of sexual partners per lifetime: 5.4 Also, women with bachelor's degrees are TWICE as likely to be virgins (3.5% to 1.7%) than non-colleged women.

I'll pass, thanks. I'm pretty sure that's what everybody involved, both sides, thinks he's doing. What's your solution? "I don't care, so I'm under no obligation to do anything"?

I was using ay deee's phrase. The most logical answer to "what hangs down?" is "X hangs down."
Re: a comment on dialect by skaskowski	29-Oct-05/12:59 AM
I avoid saying things like 'I'm really crazy, I do some wack shit,' for fear that one day I really will be crazy and doing a shit will be the best and most logical part of my day. Being crazy is biting yourself and wetting your own and other people's pants and being very unhappy (to say nothing of ugly) most of the time, and nothing at all like on movies where all you do crazy is wear goggles in public and cut faces out of magazines and maybe break one window or mirror. My recommendation is that you try hard never to be that way.
Re: a comment on Eternity by Dovina	27-Oct-05/1:07 PM
Or this. Q: Please describe the mechanism that intelligent design proposes for how complex biological structures arose. A: Well, the word "mechanism" can be used in many ways. ... When I was referring to intelligent design, I meant that we can perceive that in the process by which a complex biological structure arose, we can infer that intelligence was involved... Q: What is the mechanism that intelligent design proposes? A: And I wonder, could—am I permitted to know what I replied to your question the first time? Q: I don't think I got a reply, so I'm asking you. You've made this claim here (reading): "Intelligent design theory focuses exclusively on the proposed mechanism of how complex biological structures arose." And I want to know, what is the mechanism that intelligent design proposes for how complex biological structures arose? A: Again, it does not propose a mechanism in the sense of a step-by-step description of how those structures arose. But it can infer that in the mechanism, in the process by which these structures arose, an intelligent cause was involved. - Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe being questioned at evolution vs Intelligent Design hearings in Pennsylvania
