# One Retort

[VileTerror]

Well, finally (after a few hints and constant irritation) someone figured it out.

* claps for Brockway *

For those of you that might actually realise that there will be an exam at the end of the semester, I have written the following.

I have, in the past, posed this question before:

[RPin]

Start your own topic RPin. Please.

Naw. I think I'll stick to using other people's threads.

Sooo... Anyone want my opinions about yourself too?

[ZOMBIE USER 16849]

....Riiiiiiiiiight....

[Mr.Bob]

Just one thing.
Why wait for a magic word, when you really wanted to leave(?) anyway?
Instead of waiting for the natural flow of events, its visible to all that you practically force-fed Brockway the script.
You got off lucky though

[Keffria]

Okay. This is just stupid.

I was coming to (grudgingly) respect you and your antics, VT, but then you go and make this childish thread. How many "everyone hates VileTerror" topics do you have to make before your ego is satisfied?

[VileTerror]

So far so pitiful.

Can't say I'm too surprised. Just rather dispirit.

By the way: it was never my intent to leave. Just added incentive.

[Nyke]

DarkMagician, I still can not fathom the meaning of the label which you are so eager to post everywhere, but I digress.

What, you mean this one?

Yeah, still fits this thread, doesn't it?

EDIT: I'm a 747

[McDuffies]

Hm. I was intending to start commenting all sophisms and incorrect assumptions is VT's post, then I wanted to rant about how she thinks she's too smart and how she puts an effort in giving her actions some order to make herself look smart...

...nah...


I'll rather talk about myself.
I'm cynical sometimes. Grim look on life can sometimes be seen in my comic but optimism is always what comes in the end, even if the ending is not so happy. It's not like I plan it, it's the way I am: optimist, despite all things life put me through (you all probably know that I'm from Serbia and Bosnia).
People say I'm smart. Succesful studying can confirm that. But there are lots of kinds of intellegence, and only one of them can be measured by tests. I must say I certainly lack on other kinds of inteligences. For instance, I think slow. It takes me a tad longer time to get a proper idea, then to someone else.
Sike Smiley, I manage to keep my calmness and smile on my face in situations that would tick off someone else.
Like Jessie, I'm very bad at telling what people feel, you know, if feeling those vibes. All my friends know that they nead to directly tell me something I have to know, instead of making me guess it.
Like Gordon, I like irrational and eccentric stuff. Like Tommy, I like rational and mature stuff. Those two don't exclude each other.
I'm not afraid of puting data on myself on net. In fact, I do, too, crave for attention although my shyness tends to hide it. So, I use lots of oportunities to talk about myself.
I am (and that's where I come to the point) a kind of person that skips to help friends in situations when I have to put a lot of effort in that. I think that's bad. I'd like to be a person who helps others, no matter what. But I'm not. I try to be. I'd like to be able to say to myself: You're a very good person. I think this world, such as it is, needs every good person he can get.
I'm a kind of person, who sees everybody as good unless they prove wrong. When I first meet someone, I put him/her in a "good" shelf. If he/she does something bad to me or someone else at my sight, I move him to the "bad" shelf, or at least stick a note "watch out" to him.
I was wrong many times. I misjudged people lots of times, being taught to be cautious I usually avoided being hurt, but I've been dissapointed many times.
STILL, I'D DO IT AGAIN! I think that way of looking at this world is what, all in all, makes me good person. It probably makes this world a little bit better place, I hope.
I always compare myself to a friend who has a very different look: she always suspects of everybody, rarely makes friends and all in all, you have to work hart to get into her "good" shelf. Believe me, she's not happy. She's deeply unhappy person. I feel pitty for her, specially because she's very dear to me, but circumstances of her growing up made her that way and there's not much anyone can do about that.
Anyway, back to me...
All this means I'm a person who generally trusts to people unless they give me reason not to trust them. I'm happy for that. I think that makes me closer to my vision of "good person".
And I so wanna be a good person.

Oh, the drama...

Ok then, I'll play you're little game.

[Jops]

And perhaps you should find a less psychotic life partner.

Nah, no way, i like her as she is!

There is a short blurb near the end of the book, spoken by Rincewind in regard to the hydrophobes.

If i recall correctly it was something like: "No, they don't HATE water: hate attract like love. They totally loathe water!"
Well, if that explains your nature, you must have real twisted mind! I knew your were weird, but i didn't think that much!

[Rkolter]

Logic is relative rkolter, like most human concepts. Perhaps only numbers can transcend human experience. A 4 is still 1 more then 3 regardless of where you grew up or who abused you, even if your means of displaying these numbers differ from the rest of humanity. However, since logic is defined as the science of reasoning and what is reasonable differs greatly by all, any errors you may see are not necessarily erroneous to all.

By this reasoning, nothing can be communicated, ever. While it's true that nearly every human concept has a personal viewpoint (including Logic), there is a second viewpoint - the viewpoint of society, that we must adhere to for proper communication to occur. That societal norm can be violated, but if it is violated, it's understood that your communication may become difficult to understand.

Numbers themselves may not be foolproof - what you're thinking of are things which any society using any system could measure, and come up with a complementary result. The time it takes for a neutron star to rotate once, for example.

As for reasoning, again you have to remember there is a social requirement. While it's true you could believe that cannibalism is a perfectly effective means of population control (for example), society would disagree with you. If you intend to communicate with that society, you can not presume society agrees with your viewpoint, you must either adopt the social viewpoint or communicate your difference in advance so that someone who DOES follow the social viewpoint can understand the information you are communicating.

Sometimes your arguements lack reason, perhaps because you hold different rules and measures than society does (either deliberately to be annoying, or honestly because it's part of who you are). In either case you fail to explain those differences and they are not inherently clear, so your arguements cease to be logical and instead become whimsical.

[Heffaloop]

I think it's a good thing that I have no idea what's going on here

[Warren]

Words give me a headache!

[Evil Jamie!]

Heeeey! It's Heffa!
HIIII HEFFA!

[Matt Lim]

[quote="VileTerror"]Do I really start so many threads, Matt Lim? I thought it was the fact I reply so much that annoys most people. And let

[Heffaloop]

I will always be "around" *creepy music*


...provided my soul isn't stolen again

[Nyke]

...provided my soul isn't stolen again

*casts Steal Soul*
*Toaster pops up Squirrels*
Wait, what did I do wrong.
Oh, welcome back, Heffaloop
*casts Steal Soul again*

Ahhhhh! It hurts! It hurts! Why won't the hurting stop!? Why can't it stop!?
