Just slightly change the caliber of the ammunition and these guns will be obsolete. False premise. More addicts are dying today than would have died had drugs been legal. What you are stating here is the gateway-theory. The gateway-theory has been shunned by the scientific community for...

Yes, but a black market also decreases the quality of the product. That's a bad thing when it comes to drugs, since unpure stuff tends to harm the body more than pure stuff, but a good thing when it comes to guns, since a shitty pistol made in Venezuela shipped across the sea and filled with...

I agree with Words here, definately. Guns are not drugs. Otherwise, doctors could prescribe patients with rifles for stomach pains, and a general could toss either a gun or a bottle of pills to their soldiers, no matter which. I hope that anyone reading this realizes that that sounds stupid...

According to science, 40% of the general human population is infected with toxoplasma gondii, and that's fine.

What I've aquired from my studies regarding inferior functions is that they are the most active during negative experiences. Take your first memory for example, given that Si is a tertiary function for us. Good one or bad one? In mine, I got punched in the face... I'd call it a bad memory. My...

Hi, Dr. Nick! Good to have you. If you fear death and the haunting clarity of our morbid universe, go away. Otherwise, partake in the journey of the INTP. No matter where it may lead. Truth - the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Forum INTP. It's continuing mission: To explore...

Turn down the lights, lean back, raise the volume on your headset, press play and enjoy your spasms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqCEPytSFqU

Lyra: Good posts! Exactly what I've been trying to say from time to time on this board for a while now. Basically, you are not completely right, just like me or anyone. But you have the perfect perspectives for making the right judgments to reach the truth. I see humanity as a whole, as sort of...

1: Decadent. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago I really thought about what this word really means. Apparently, it's an applied form of "decay". Other words with the exact same meaning include "declining", "destructive", "worsening", or literally (yes) any other word about a progression that...

I'm a musician myself (according to some sources, a guitar-sorcerer). Good music from me comes from: A: Understanding the formula (Ti) B: Listening for ques from band-mates and so on (Ne) C: Learning to play over-night (Si) D: Expressing what I feel and recieving the general mood of the...

*Alright then. Im back on track. I would say that different stages of addiction undermine different functions. Take a long time amphetamine-addict for one. Why does he take his two fixes each day? Because of a need to feel well (Fe)? I think not, at least not foremost. Long term addictions...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I wrote seriously, and I absolutely didn't mean to insult you. I just didn't get the OP and my own demented sense of clever humour told me to angle the matter in a way that wouldn't make me appear as stupid - and in turn calling everyone else stupid. But sure, for...

What exactly do you mean, Slush? What kind of intuition? How? Duxwing just pretended to get it to seem clever...

That feeling you get when you post something and the whole forum stops. I wonder if I killed it.

The first part sort of lacks depth. No but really. Is it a comedy? Good science fiction? Give us some more information.

AWESOME. What I think I know: 1: The entity is from Australia. Probably a crocodile hunter that collects didgeridoos, in other words. 2: The entity has earlier had higher power over us mortal posters, but have like Hercules lost it due to the corruption of the underworld.

First, it's a Saturday night thing when you feel cool like a gangster or a rockstar- just something to kill the boredom, you know? They call it a chippie, a small habit. It feels so good, you start doing it on Tuesdays... then Thursdays... then it's got you. Every wise ass punk on the block says...

Smoking has always been the time of reflection for me. After a heated argument, I'd go out to have a smoke. And with the calming effect of the nicotine, I could think straight and unbiased. I don't smoke anymore though.

I believe in the dialectic principle, and that it's appliable to many things. If you for example view a plant, you would see that it first branches out, and then starts to evolve leafs, and then branches out, and then evolve leafs, and so on. It happens in sudden switches, just like evolution...

(LOL on the indent-bit. That's the best example of US-patriotism I've seen in a long time. ^^) See, this is how most of the discussions with me end. I tend to agree, but not to 100%. There is always something I'm not satisfied with, and it's mostly due to linguistics, or just plain old...

Alright then. I'll give it another try on a molecular level (with soft colours for your pleasure): That being said, a non-100% explanation doesn't always turn you down. "Hey, Bob. I really, really don't feel well right now. I'm about to throw up and I haven't been able to sleep for weeks...

If you take a look at some of the scientists of the 1800s, you will find that they are not "biochemists", "biologists", "psychologists, "psychotherapists" or "sociologists", but mostly just scientists. Many like the idea of specified sciences, but consider that any question asked about the...

EyeSeeCold: What I mean is that people may look like ants or whatever when seen from above, but that doesn't mean that their actions are meaningless, at the very least not to them. So sort of B + C instead of A + B... If I've understood what you've said at all. Batteries not included. Adult...

I hate this kind of reasoning. Just because you can psychologize any issue doesn't mean that it doesn't hold merit. "Oh, you are feeling nervous since you're being taken into the gas-chamber? Well, that's only because of a signal-substance called adrenaline. Now tell me about your mother."

Congratulations on your birthday! I think everyone else was too shy and waited for someone else to post. :-]

"Everything is relative. -Albert Einstein" -Proletar

That's really difficult. I'd have to go with Zeppelin, actually. Sure, sabbath made some serious shit happen with their three first albums, inventing metal for one (I use to imagine the song Black Sabbath to describe Ozzy Osbourne encountering heavy metal for the very first time), but Zeppelin...

Reasoning through the alphabet really isn't judgment if you ask me. Or at least the least judgmental judgment out there, since it neither jumps to conclusion or is sure about itself. Internal reasoning reasons itself, and isn't that perception? Or is that just the Ne? Take the functions of the...

So what school exactly are you speaking for? Whos concepts? Which one is the good one?

That's the thing though, there are different forms of abstractions of the words along in the ether all the time, and they are conflicting. It's a theory with different steps added at different times. And if I' not mistaken, the percieving functions have at some point been synonomous with...

No, it doesn't. Googled introverted intuition. First result? "Ni’s constantly wonder and guess in their head" http://www.famoustype.com/Ni.htm Second? "With Introverted Intuition dominating their personality, INTJs focus their energy on observing the world, and generating ideas and...

Let's have another q and a type thread. I ask the question, and you answer it, and then you ask a new question. The question is always - which band is better. The answer comes with a good motivation of atleast 150 characters. The Beatles or The Doors?

On topic: I would probably just want to be myself, but with an ability to teleport and turn into gas or something, essentially making myself impossible to injure. I would stay in the presence of the joker, the scare-crow and batman, just to learn from them and see their perspectives. I would...

Hahaha. This is me laughing. Cog is an ENTP. He came up with this stuff in twelve seconds in an escalator.

Makes sense, yes. This statement also clashes with your earlier logic; "If Ne is percieving and Ti is percieving, there could be no judgment". Sneaky switch there, but I saw it. ;) But INTPs only have Si. So we don't have a developed storage-function for intuitive things available? That's...

Well, shit. I just won. Amazing, years of psychological knowledge and learning, crushed by a few strokes of my mighty pen. I'm amazing. A whole school of psychology torn down by me alone.

Tinkered......? I see no argument here. What do you mean by archaic? Too much implied information

That is disrespectful. Minus points. Exactly, Se gathers information. But how can Si (or Ni) do the same? How can an internal function gather data? There is hidden information to be seen inside peoples heads, popping up from nowhere? Good thinking there.

Alright, here is what I'm saying: T is used to be seen as a judging function, and N is used to be seen as a percieving function. I don't think that's accurate. Instead, I would say that Te is a judging function while Ti is tending to percieve, and Ne is a percieving function, while Ni is...

Let's extend your logic: Judger arguing for judgement in self: Likely, and makes sense. Judger arguing for percievment in self: Obviously wrongful. Perciever arguing for judgement in self: Can hypotetically argue, but can't do so with arguments, since arguments are a judging process, hence...

And so on, suggesting that all P-types are percievers and all J-types are judgers. For starters, Ti. How is Ti a judging function? Because thinking is in itself judging? I think not. Judging is execution - To conclude. Does INTPs do this? I think not. Instead, introverted thinking tends to...

Interesting subject. It appears that hipsters gravitate the same way as music in the way he describes it.

I won't specify what the dark side is in this beginning, because that would somewhat cripple the concept of this thread. Just what comes to mind.

Precisely. The only thing in our path is the INTJs ego, and breaking it down truly is an enigma.

I may have come across as harsh in the thread, but that's basically because I was pointing out the faults of the INTJ quite exclusively. Can the types help eachother? That is really up to the INTJ. If they continue to see us as threats to their egos (they can be very ego-driven if left...

I'm not saying that we are good and you are bad or whatever, just that we have different perspectives that tend to clash. If you for example love to win and hate to lose, you may try to do whatever to win. In that case, other things may be pushed aside. Facts and truths for example may be...

And now the time has come to make a thread of it's own dedicated to premarital sex and marriage. Take it there instead. Wonderous to see these little subjects blossom.

Makes sense. Duxwing. Have you ever smoked pot?

Wait, what? If the universe was to rotate around the still space-station, that would be insane. Take a star 1 000 light years away from the space-station. If the station (which is to say the universe) was to rotate 360 degrees in ten seconds, the star would have to travel 628 light years per...
