Do I have a cynical view of humanity? Yes. However, over time, I have come to the realization that I can have an impact on my own environment, based on my actions and words, and while there is very little I can control in regards to all of humanity, I can't help but adopt a positive view...

I agree. Nothing wrong with having self-esteem. In fact, I would argue self-esteem and self-confidence is a necessary component for any individual to be able to be productive, take risks, and make one's way in the world. Self-esteem derives from experiences and situations that shape how you view...

1. is there a problem with the character/mindset/values of people who hold opposing political views to you? if yes, describe. I judge people for holding a different political view if their view is based on emotionality or the bible told them so. Usually injustice and hysteria ensue when people...

I did too, but in (American) culture, it has been the prevailing view that boosting a child's self -esteem and preaching that every single person is exceptional is preferable to telling people the truth. Most people aren't going to make a lot of money or go on to live notable lives. Telling a...

This guy's commencement speech has been getting attention lately in the news. People have criticized him for not being inspirational and for being too critical. I disagree and think this guy speaks the truth and gives teens a much needed reality check instead of inundating them with constant...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7hQN4Amaeg Take-away from the commercial: If you say "that's so gay," Wanda Sykes will interrupt your lunch and harass you. For me, the less Wanda Sykes in my life, the better my life. Result: omit ever saying "that's so gay" to avoid Wanda Sykes. Commercial...

I agree with Meer, and like you, I always enjoy reading Architect's posts. He's a good example of a successful INTP who has reached the type of balance I strive for one day. In a way, the necessary amenities that I need to live comfortably, and the constant reliance on different varieties of...

Yeah, I figured that's where you were coming from. Admittedly, I used to have the same attitude as you and probably just recently changed my position. I am now of the opinion that manufactured cheese (or disposable cheese like you said) can be enjoyed for what it is sometimes. I prefer my music...

Mainstream music/popular music of the 1960s: Rolling Stones Beatles Bob Dylan Cream Aretha Franklin To dismiss any group because they are part of the "mainstream" seems rather limiting and is also a nonsensical way to determine the validity or significance that a song might have to offer...

What I imagine the INTP group description on linkedin to say: If you're looking for an individual who hates taking orders, finishes a task at the last minute, doesn't care about social niceties like bothering you about your day or saying "hello" when they come in in the morning, look no further...

4.3/10 which mostly belong to the drummer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgBmQT24SUk

I dig Royksopp. 7.5/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW8FKkVnqng

7.5/10 Great rapper, song, and message. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1chlG3YwZQ8&feature=related

Edit: Sorry BAP. We must have rated Otherside at the same time. I give the music a 1.3/10 mostly cause the sound quality is pretty awful, but I'll give them 10/10 for attitude and stage presence. 7/10. I've got a place in my heart for soul singers and soul music...

7/10. Good stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSoyaOVYk0E&feature=related

I like it because there's a lot of changes throughout the song. Metal with melody. Gets a little funky in the middle,too. 6.75/10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhAr-Xj9j4E

AdaireWho is that? That is awesome. OP if you love the piano and experimental music, Medeski, Martin & Wood is great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3X04Ryhnjo&feature=fvst http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKA_il5LKI0&feature=related Ah, never mind. Just noticed the name "Infected Mushroom"

The Master http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFk0wzir4PA vast and creeping. very atmospheric. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH5bL_XbO64 Just cause I love this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kdW4OK8IUI

Keeping marijuana illegal is not useless if you are a drug dealer and want to keep the prices high. Censorship is useless.

Thanks for the observation.

Well, you must understand that gender and sexual preference has a lot to do with how I'm answering. If you had a boyfriend that wanted to hang out with his ex-boyfriend all the time, this would strike you as somewhat inappropriate. No? I don't know. Maybe not. So a straight male hanging out...

Honestly, you need to distance yourself like OG said. It's weird when a guy hangs out with a girl who has a boyfriend. I think it is at least. Especially when you're lurking around her house while she's getting it on with the bf. In fact, I usually would completely cut off communication with...

Haha. I think you're right. After reading the post again, there's no way a dude wrote that. Guess the avatar and the name threw me off. Damn you samjonathan.

Maybe she wants you to join in? This sounds just outright rude to me. If done one time, I'll give you a pass. But if this chick had sex twice, leaving you alone, this could warrant me never going over to your house again, or at least talking to you for a while. There could be several...

Haha. Are you saying Da Blob is God? Would it naturally conclude that God is the supreme troll of all?

God is dead.

^ nicely put. The health forum will naturally turn into medical advice rantings from people who have no idea (including myself) about effective methods that should be personally treated by a medical professional. From what I've noticed, it would be unrealistic for someone on the INTP forum to...

Thank god. So sick of the sausage fest. You are definitely most welcome on this forum, that is if you haven't already been scared off.

ok

Leave before you experience multiple hugs and him/her telling you who much they love you.

If everyone felt that their vote did not matter, no one would vote, and we would never elect a President. There have been many elections- not just on a local level- that have been decided by less than 100 votes. I imagine your point is that nothing will change regardless of who we vote in...

Obviously, every human being is unique and who that person is cannot be determined by "type." People should not feel constricted by what MBTI says. I believe we are always in the process of becoming, so therefore, we have a choice in the type of human being we become through the actions we take...

Welcome Ellen. Hopefully, you'll find the type of answers you are looking for through this site. We're all individuals who are way more than four letters.

Haha, no I never did that to anybody, but I know people who were the victims of a swirly. There's the chocolate swirly and vanilla swirly. I'll let you use your imagination to figure that one out. I don't recall ever getting bullied. I was always good at using humor and jokes with people...

Follow him when he goes to the bathroom and give him a swirly. Nothing works better than a little humiliation. It sounds like you're bigger than him. Make sure no one sees you. He definitely won't tell on you either because no one wants to admit that they had their head dunked in a toilet...

Welcome!

Yeah, I meant working for the PD. I'm interviewing for a clerkship with the PD office next week and if I get the job, I'm going to take it. As much as public speaking is terrifying, I believe that this is a skill that can be learned, especially if you're prepared and ready to present any...

I'm pretty sure you just scared the hell out of me. I was looking to get into appellate work. I even worked for a superior court judge as an intern. I asked what my chances are of landing a clerkship when I talked to her on the phone last week. She said that it's nearly impossible. Like you...

I generally am not prone to crying except if I hear about someone I know who died or got some terminal illness. If I do cry, it's not very intense and I'm not too embarrassed about it. You probably wouldn't even know I'm crying until you see me wipe a tear from my face. I could tear up like a...

Clarify. Initially, I wanted to know what you thought was interesting that you discovered through browsing the forum.

Can't say I have, but I just ordered some Chinese food because of all this food talk.

Yeah, the mountains are great there. I used to do a bit of hiking back in the day. I agree that there are no shortage of rednecks, but carolina bbq makes up for all the shortfalls.

Welcome Kate. I love the Carolinas by the way. It's a beautiful part of the country.

Why is it worth it to get an MBA? How will it help you doing whatever it is you want to do?

Ha. You've really opened a shit storm in me. I could ask you ridiculous questions all night. It's quite fun.

Hey, I thought we were asking the questions. Back to topic: Who did you vote for in the last three elections?

What kind of take-out did you get? Why not get delivery?
