The Rebel: I think there is a danger on relying on characters on a tv-show as they really reflect how the screenwriters believe very rational/intuitive people behave. I don't think there is a distinction between being amazingly creative and very rational, see for instance Einstein or other great scientists/mathematicians.

372On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post
by StarTrekAngel ini am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.
i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.
it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

It's a bit like this.
Imagine something which is spherical. Now imagine it is also shaped like a cube.
So it is cubic and spherical at the same time. This appears impossible since these have different geometrical properties but you got to imagine this thing is both spherical and cubic at the same time because I say so.
Also it is not changing between spherical or cubic and it is not like it is a sphere painted to look like a cube or something like that; no cheating.
Now you have the best minds spend 1000 years hammering out the properties of this thing. The only thing you are not allowed to do is ask why one should suppose it exists or why it can't just be a sphere or a cube or a sphere next to a cube, otherwise you will be burned at the stake.
The end-result will be a bit like the trinity.

Viviane: I stand by my initial assertion that it is my impression you have changed in the way you interact with other people on this forum, this is in part due to looking at your previous topics (many which I recall, such as your discussion on knowing things and logic) and in part due to an impression i have formed over some time. I think we all do this with other frequent posters so rest assured I do not wish you to tell me about your personal life. The remark, are you happy, was rhetorical and not an invitation for you to tell me your inner most feelings.
I did notice that you are doing something you commented on in another thread. Making a suggestion and then subtly moving it to "fact". First, it was ask if I was happy. Reject the answer, of course, because it doesn't fit your pre-conceived notion.
As I have said previously, when i was in more stressful life circumstances a while back, i think my way of posting and interacting with the board was more similar to how you are interacting now, that's all.
Look at it this way. If i really believed you were miserable, I would not be interacting with you. I believe I stopped doing that with brotherdan (for instance) when he was obviously spiraling out of control because he was obviously hurting. Perhaps you are very happy right now and your way of posting on this board reflects your personality at it's very best, or you could be trolling us, or you just like arguments. I don't know which is why in part i am still replying to your posts.

Viviane: However, it also allows us to see how forum members respond to personal attacks and give us a bit of insight into their perception vs. reality.
Is this in part why you make personal remarks on people regarding their intelligence, honesty, religion, looks, etc., to get insight into their perception vs. reality?
Viviane: That's quite a bit of work you done looking into my past. It's kind of creepy how you keep wanting to talk about my feelings and life circumstances, both of which are exactly zero of your business.
you have started 13 topics, it literally took less time than typing this post. "creepy". more deflection.

Viviane: it was suggested I was cowering inside and to be pitied by the same people that are complaining about how they are treated
Is this related to the question i asked you the other day:
"Viv, you asked for an example of a computer program that evolved and i provided a list.
I really dont get why you interact the way you do with people on this forum. It appears you are only interesting in starting and winning arguments, not with superior arguments or facts, but with anger and rethoric. Are you a happy person?"Speaking for myself, I am slightly worried for you, or rather if I had your posting history I would *know* i was not in a happy place in my life. I tried to go over your past threads and you seemed a different person 2 years ago, much more happy and open to conversation with other people. In many ways you remind me of an atheistic version of a previous poster here, Brotherdan, who due to stressful life circumstances got pulled into a bad form of evangelism.

Viviane: "Also, as far as respect goes, people on this thread have called me names, "
Do you feel it is wrong to call someone names? Do you feel it is not the right way to have a productive conversation?

Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?
by cappytan ina year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.
world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.
so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

I am all for free speech.
A person can call me an ignorant worthless asshole for not understanding a minute detail about general relativity perfectly, this is within the rights of that person. I am not calling for censorship in that conversation.
However it cuts both ways and I am free to point out that is a silly and aggressive way to communicate.
