I don't hate the world anymore

I guess I have a rather difficult time with using allows in that context. It implies, to me, that a permission is granted. Not by the person but by those who in turn interpret the thoughts.

Do external processes also not factor in or influence internal processes.

Would not what makes a person think or react to any circumstance not be internal and external.

I honestly, still do no understand what you are getting from this.

 

The exact same thing that you are trying to get out of asking me what I am getting out of this... understanding of an issue I don't understand.

 

I still do not understand and that is alright.

Thanks

 

And I still don't hate the world anymore.

Do not worry about him. He is harmless and pretty damn insignificant around here.

All the regulars know exactly who he is. No one really cares or takes anything he says seriously.

After my last reply to him I went to my control panel and put him on ignore.

When you ignore someone you can see they made a post but you cannot see the post.

In my last post I tried to totally patronize him and agree with what ever he said.

Usually that gets rid of trolls. Then I saw your posts.

So I will just answer the posts from people who are intellegent and respectful. Even if they disagree with me.

I am all for intellegent debate. Tom is not capable of that.

You see I support free speech. Even morons deserve free speech. (I am talking in general terms here).

But what Tom does not realize is that free speech does not give him the right to be heard.

Tom may say whatever he wants. But I am not going to listen to him or even read anything he writes.

What is the point?

I have free choice to turn of the "Bozo Show" on TV that is.

So don't you worry about Tom.

Let him constantly bump this thread. More people will read it.

 

The same way that "proving" that you're right and someone else is wrong/stupid/immoral/etc feeding yours?

 

Tom, other than the fact that you have labeled me putz and seldom address me directly, I find your posts for the most part, to be intelligent, thoughtful, and "spirited".

I don't hate the world anymore either.

 

I agree with you. he is highly intellegent and spirited.

But there does come a point where non stop arguing back and forth is pointless.

People can agree to disagree. I told him many times that he is entitled to his opinion. But he is not going to change mine.

If he wants to talk to me in a civil manner he can pm me and I will take him off ignore.
