Elitism and the obsurdity of democracy....

Should not an "intelligent" person be able to interact with other people and things, with in the environment, thus enabling them to function effectively?

 

[Anneliese]

Anneliese stop being so defensive! Not everything is a criticism of you or your posts!

Thankyou oldguyzer, I will try not to be. Unfortunately, my experience on this board to date has been one in which there are those who delight in not only criticizing but also demoralizing and eviscerating the OP.... So I admit to being somewhat sensitized.

There are assholes everywhere. Even here. Just ignore them. We do!

As with anything when we give our opinion it will not be acceptable with every person who receives it.

Just as we shall at times receive opinions we are not in agreement with.

It is then we try to clarify our position and evaluate the oppositions opinion.

At times the best we can do is agree to disagree.
Because it is our differences that make the one seek truth.

 

[oldguyzer]

If we all had the same opinions, this place would be boring as hell.

I personally love your posts and have missed you in your short absence. I now realize I was outwitted, outplayed and robbed of my boots!:grrrrrr:

and if we shot every one we disagreed with,once we killed everyone else we would question ourself.

At that point would would have to shoot ourself.

Art Mann

I found this post in the HUBGFE Character thread, hmmmm Annaliese perhaps a date with Art Mann is in the cards I would think because he sure looks like someone but I can't put my finger on it??

You want to put your finger on Art Mann? Ewwwww.....

Stop that, Art's going to get all hot and bothered!

... Oh and one more thing. Seems we joined this forum at roughly the same time, and have yet to see you put yourself in the firing line of starting a thread. Easy to be an armchair critic when you never have to put yourself or your potentially controversial opinions out there open to public character assassination.

Actually, I was just trying to show off my knowledge of Nietzsche! Um, intellectual flirting with 'Genealogy of Morals' references?! (Clearly I'm very bad at it.) And Nietzsche was an asshole, his implication being that powerful men didn't concern themselves with moral notions of right and wrong. Simply satisfying their desires was good. Absolutely did not intend it as an attack on you.

Incidentally, you couldn't have gotten my preferences with women more backwards. Intelligent and outspoken women make me melt.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Sometimes I try to be too clever when I write.

Actually, I read your post the way it was intended. I thought it was fine. And yeah, Nietzche was a dickhead.

I'd rarely be accused of maturity or sophistication, but I figured I could at least fake some intellectualism!

A couple of thoughts for you to ponder. This board is easily the friendly board compared to the others. (I am an active member on the other boards). Secondly, on all boards there are members that enjoy, shall we say, making tough remarks. The anonymity of the internet frees them from most normal social or workplace constraints. That said, a modicum of self reflection on your part would reasonably suggest that some of your comments are somewhat edgey. If you poke the bear....................

If this is what Miss Anneliese
is looking for:

She will be disappointed,
no doubt,
to get stuck with with this:

Actually your words read quite well sir.

Sean is still the man Art.

So if that is what you look like then no worries.

 

[Ms.FemmeFatale]

I am totally confused. Are you saying that too many men are dumb and that is why you have little clientele?
