You Would be Proud :P

Well make sure to add spices aswell as herbs

Hilarious.

I'll be starting on that dolphin farm soon. Just make sure you all wire me like $20,000 each and I'll make sure you each get one for your own personal enjoyment

Remember the fuck a dolphin thread, all i know that it will be money well spent

For you... don't think of it as a need, think of it as an experience to better your understanding of other individuals in order to further your interests....

Same here, but I usually try to mess with people by cracking odd conversation starters. And/or just forcing people out of their comfort zone. Every once in a while I'll find another weirdo I can bounce sly remarks off of, and we have a ball. (I am capable of doing the whole completely polite and attentive gentleman thing, but I get tired of it after a few hours)

I like that...

Ok, but we're going to need a ton of cheese whiz and bucket of jello.....

Well, since Shemuel does this kind of stuff all of the time, he'll probably be able to supply at least some of that.

Nah, I get all I want by sitting back here and observing people, or observing them when I'm at work

That's just lazy. You can't reap as much information about a person by just observing them. When you interact with them, you can ask the right questions and get the information you really need.

Being able to function in a relationship is a life skill. If you don't develop that function, you won't ever reach your true potential.

Note: I believe that you choose not to enter relationships because you've been hurt in the past, and you can't handle one (also could also be attributed to a mental predisposition). When approached by failure, you break apart like a china dish. Your coping mechanisms are primitive. Part of you wants to shear off this social facade you've draped upon yourself, but the other part of you is terrified of the unknown. And of course, without self-motivation, your survival instincts will forever ride you like a whore on a park bench. (sorry, I couldn't help being vulgar. It was just too tempting.)

That's OK, I'm not insulted. Though there's something incorrect about that. I enjoy the challenges of failure more so than the successes. I dunno how I could've been hurt in the past, I've never been in a relationship and I quite literally have no desire for one, especially after this week, it's not worth it in my opinion. I interact with people fine, I just never become involved with them

Everything pertaining to the psyche has a cause, even if it's a chemical imbalance. All humans have the same basic needs, you are no exception.

Perhaps you just enjoy this public persona. The attention is quite good, isn't it? After all, the way you interact with all of us here could be defined as friendship. You claim you don't like commitment, but yet you've ran a forum for 3 years. LOL Well, I guess that could be defined as indirect friendship, but still.... I think all of us are satisfied with that lol.

Note: BTW, I like the fact that you aren't easily offended. I think that's why we have so much fun in conversations/debates like this. We don't take it too personally. Yes, that's ironic sounding in this case, but you know what I mean.

Yeah, we'll just leave it at that cause otherwise he'll get indignant and he'll insist that he's doing it cause he has nothing better to do.

But judging by the way he describes his life, that's kinda true

It probably is true. LOL

But hey, like I said before, it might actually be fun in some strange, weird way...

I am familiar with Maslow's Hierarchy of needs but do remember, very few ever achieve the complete pyramid. There for, the only essential need is the first, food shelter, water.

And I've been waiting all night for someone to bring up the forum. I have one word: Control. The forum offers a way for me to control an environment, I mean, every human craves some form of control over something, of that we are no exception. In fact, it's the lack of control that fuels most people's insecurities and fears.

Bull bull bull.

Sure, the forum does give you control, but it also gives you friends. You're lonely, and that's why you read and post. Friendship is your underlying motive.

I know you wont accept that, but it's true. And truth is not based upon perspective, it's concrete.

Goodnight...

I'm glad you had fun screwing with me. LOL

Sounds kinky

DJ, do remember, I took Media Studies and it isn't me who came up with that. We studied the hierarchy a fair bit. Self Actualization is rarely achieved by the majority of mankind. It's not bull, it's truth, concrete I believe is how you put it.

And if it makes you feel better on the inside to think it's because of friendship, than that's your dream, not mine. Just sayin.

Aren't these discussions always so amusing? I find it funny how people will try so hard to convince me that I'm wrong, that I need people, you guys aren't the only ones who do it. I'm beginning to think that I'm so different in this sense that people are intimidated by me and can't exactly, I dunno, cope or something with the knowledge, so they try and change it. If you wanted to convince me otherwise, last Wednesday was the day to do it, after Friday though, I'm more stuck in my ways than ever cause now I have physical and legitimate reasons as to why I am who i am. I didn't have that before, just observations and theories, but now it's fact for me and good luck changing that!

It may be ok for you now, you have friends here and you have family, but what about in a few years time when most of us will have proberlly left here, and later on in life when family pass on and stuff, without friends you'll just start to go mad, like will smith in i am legend, human interaction is a good thing and every person needs it, it's sorta programmed into us. without many friends you could start to suffer from depressions and other stress and lonelyness, you'd become like old people at homes sitting not doing anything all day. I love my little rant things and i actually researched some of this before posting

I'll be doing stuff, I always have stuff to keep me busy. And people always leave, it's a force of nature, it doesn't bother me, I've seen tons of people leave in my life and it doesn't really bother me

Oh, I'm not saying Maslow's Hierarchy of needs is bull; just your philosophy.

But, we can just both stay in our own little worlds, and everything will be fine. LOL

And I agree, these arguments are fun. I just have to go off and deflate my ego every once in a while because of them.
