GENIUS FORUMS

Orenholt, Diebert asks you, “do you even know what you want?” That’s a good question, for you show no interest in understanding your own mind enough to come to a consistent position. You wrote in your first post on this thread that you hoped outing yourself as being female “doesn't taint your view o...

That's good. Now that you've got out of your own way we could discuss some of the issues you have with women being described as 'Woman'. Where do you want to start?

Orenholt:

Is this some kind of insult?

If you believe it to be so, then that is what it is.

Getoriks correctly describes the ego as loving to dress up. But the funny thing is that the more the ego drapes itself, the more obvious it becomes. Showing up clearly that most people are ‘so much less’.

These back stories or biographies are a total load of crap.

Too true. Orenholt’s need to dress is absurd when all that is needed is blood and guts.

Kierkegaard quotes I posted: Nothing is more certain. Coming close to God brings catastrophe. Everyone whose life does not bring relative catastrophe has never even once turned as a single individual to God; it is just as impossible as it is to touch the conductors of a generator without getting a s...

I see that you are indeed “trying to understand” - and it is good to do so, for it is one of the most important topics to understand for anyone who wishes to develop their mind. I think in males emotion serves or s...

Dennis, jupiviv wrote: In general emotional people don't realise that they are being emotional, since it is an unconscious process. Jupiviv is correct that people don't know anything about the emotions, for their whole being is just that. This state of unawareness makes people act and think, as Jupi...

Cathy, Who is the royal "we" you speak of? Do you eat? Would you come to the aid of a child being molested by a sexual predator? Would you please include in your post your address and phone number so that I can send it over to sexual predator.com , or to looking for juicy females.com ?

Kimberly Alyn doesn’t explain the psychology behind the ideas: women are emotional and men don’t cry . Instead she writes about her hopes and dreams of people being accepted for who they are... or some such twaddle like that ...for she never really points out what it is she expects from society...or...

Luckily there are still a few people prepared to speak up for rationality, so there is still hope.
