I met a guy once who had been in China, and had to learn it. He told me that in his opinion Chinese would be better than English since it has very simple rules and because of that, it was very easy to learn. I can't quite remember exactly what he said though so don't pin me on it.t EDIT: I'm...

I must admit, I didn't read the whole post but only the intro text. "And well poking doesn't do anything" Uhh, really? Who came up with poking a steak? I have never heard of that, lol. Other than the.. Poking. All you need to do to get a good steak is to not salt it before it's on the pan it...

Sure.. I want people to like me as well, I want to have all the girls chasing me of course. But not at the cost of my personal integrity. If I do not want to pay the price that is asked for being popular, I do not want to pay the price. I'm not making excuses. Speaking of prices. If you see a...

Yeah I do that alot as well. I can't just be satisfied with saying a synonym. If I want 'that' word, it's the only one. Sometimes people get really annoyed with me because go "yeah, it's like this word X but it's something else" And then I start saying it in English instead and so on. And not...

So if I do not agree with the norms I'm making an excuse because I suck to much at life to be part of the norm? Wow.... Okay.. EDIT: I mean come on that's just ridiculous. You basically saying that everyone who doesn't like Justin Bieber and Britney Spears, are socially incompetent. And if I...

Level of sophistication?? Could you elaborate?

Exactly! We can all follow a list and adhere to social norms to gain 'social success' (I keep doing that because I'm still wondering what 'social success' really is) But then we wouldn't be ourselves, or well we would be in a way. Since "ourselves" wants to adhere. I don't even think any of us...

Oh god no.. Scandinavian accents are horrible, Danish in particular. Strike that, all of them in particular!

Hehe okay, just had to make sure you know? :aufsmaul: Really? I thought it was well, weird, like I said. Glad you thought it was great though. :confused: EDIT: Actually, I have some criticism to my own view on what pseudo-intellectualism is. On the use of 'smart' words. I was reflecting and...

I'd like to live in Japan, of course I don't know if I would like being there, I think I would. It's kind of funny though, alot of 'white people' that move to Japan move there because they are either fanatic anime fans or because they are just into the whole 'kawaii-nihon' thing. I really hate...

@ OP - Oh yes, I'm with you (Danish) I sometimes have to say the word I'm looking for in English becasue I either can't remember or I don't know the word in Danish. I even think that my writing skills are better in English. Aside from grammar errors here and there. I don't hate Danish though...

Is this thread a joke? I don't mean to be ignorant. But really? "Remember to shower, it will lead to social success" Do you guys honestly need guidelines to social success? Don't get me wrong though, I do not boast 'social success' (what is social success anyway?) I know what I need to do, to...

While I'm not a chef I was half way through culinary school when I decided that I wanted an academic education first. It's always a good idea to leave doors open. I don't like recipe's though. Not unless I'm making a dessert. Cooking without a recipe, or at least without a plan is pretty much...

Someone has already quoted a post where AnimeK says she is male. But with that name and those pictures I insist on her not being male. Just to spite.

I agree, yet again.

Yeah, me agreeing with someone is quite the sight, I know.

I agree. I don't think banning should be done, unless it's spammers, like you said yourself.

You will soon enough. She was only banned temporarily and is probably watching us right now! :phear:

Hm?

Who were rude? That's like not cool...... Man. :confused:

Totally..

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

But were they not..... Jokes? Hmm.

How does a male and even one attracted to the female physical form (Apparently not the psychology of a female) End up with a girly avatar and the name "Animekitty"?

Warned, for what? =o

I don't care if it's 'public' or private. So unless it's because you're telling us to continue it in private, I don't mind it either way.

I was joking. I thought that would be obvious (text sarcasm or not) Since me, Echoplex, Cavallier and Gopher were just talking about it.

Hey buddy.. This is NOT a democracy. So just drop it already!

Who have I insulted? In what ways have I insulted people? And lastly, could you give me some examples where I have insulted people?

Exactly why I suck at sarcasm (in text) in real life I'm probably Mr. Sarcasm, I love sarcasm.

Haha, did you make that one yourself? It's pretty funny. Animekitty is a he? The name and pictures seemed kind of she to me. I'm sticking with she, anyway. She made you giggle? All those videos and pictures actually annoy me, they do not contribute.

Ah okay, my bad. I was honestly going "Wow, this guy is a douche, lol" When I read your reply, sorry, hehe. Didn't sense your sarcam. I actually didn't. I couldn't tell if you were doing that 'exagerration sarcasm' or if you were actually just being an angry caps locker. So like Cava, my ability...

Uh, are you sure that you don't belong to 4chan with that kind of attitude? (Not the mention the "!!!!1111") Besides. You realise that I was being rather sarcastic, right? I find it funny how "This is not a democracy" has become such a popular line, lol. I've seen 4 or 5 people using it the...

Emotional Stability at 68% and Inquisitiveness at 70%. I got the RCUEI type. It's a semi thing on that type. Alot of if I agree with but the rest doesn't really match me "Does not want to better to world" "Does not second guess self" "Is not a perfectionist" "Tendency to only believe in self"...

Oh and hey, for the sake of testing the patience of the mods, let's start a fuss about why Animekitty was banned (temporarily) You know.. Freedom of speech and all that.

I must admit that I think her/his post were irrelevant myself. The majority of them were just videos or pictures. But like EyeSeeCold says "Relevancy is relative" (I'd choose to swap out relative with subjective though, hehe)

Not good enough? Well the only thing you can't be good enough according to me (and now also Iuanes) Is your attitude. I don't think you have an attitude. And if you did, why would you just quit? You could just give some thought to it. Then choose to go "Maybe they are right" or ignore it. That's...

Exactly how I think of it as well!

That's the extreme pseudo-intellectual. And the kind of ridiculous one as well. I agree on this. But what about the bright people? Can't the be inquisitive? Or are you denied the title "Intellectual" the minute that you've learned something and become 'bright'

I don't think everybody on this forum is a pseudo-intellectual. And not the other way around either.

That's exactly what I'm saying. And just quoting a book doesn't take the next step. It's standing still.

It has nothing to do with reading alot. I don't really read alot myself. Besides, if you think that intellectualism is decided on the amount one reads, then I think you need to reavulate your understanding of the word. I consider intellectualism to be a genuine interest in X topic. An open mind...

:eek: Just give me a moment to take this in. I'm not used to people actually agreeing with me, and certaintly not with exclamation marks!

I don't think pseudo-intellectualism is a good thing. Be it for preparation or any other reason. I don't think any good comes from quoting the back of a book and then claiming it to be your own opinion. (well it can be your opinion just fine. But claiming it as something original, which you...

My bad, I should probably have seen that. But I suggest using quotes, I think they were 'invented' for this very reason. To make sure who you're adressing =)

Don't insult me please. Don't put the fact that you just couldn't be bothered to read what I said, onto me. I already gave arguements as to why I wanted to know. I even repeated them. So as I said; Just because you don't read (or understand) what I said doesn't mean that I didn't bring any...

Uhh, yes. Are you going to tell me that "Rain = water" now? =)

Not at all. When I said "100% Objetivity" I meant that a person is unable to not have subjective 'inteference' But if the rules says "Do not punch people" Then it's very simple. Just don't hit people, there's no bending the rule, therere's no relativity. You are not allowed to hit people...

I'd say they rank lower than non-intellectuals =o

I know right?! That was my plan. Or well, not exactly. But I like to leave doors open.
