Bullshit. You put up these fucking arguments and then when Odeon or someone else says something you disagree with, you want him to quote facts and bullshit-bullshit-bullshit blah-blah-blah instead of just taking their word for it.
That's the way rational debate works. One person brings quotes from other sources and/or refers to primary evidence in an attempt to prove his point and the other person tries to debunk those by bringing forward his own quotes and/or references to primary evidence. Then the first person provides new arguments to debunk those of the second person. This process is repeated until one person runs out of arguments or both parties agree to disagree (the latter tends to happen when both parties have strong arguments and it seems like the debate can go on forever).
You think you are an authority on everything just because you bothered to research a boring subject like this with your 137 IQ?
I'm not implying I'm an authority on anything. I just enjoy a rational debate and object to prejudice and insults.
For fuck's sake, when someone tells you something different, it means they DON"T consider your opinion to be as correct as you think it is, and that is THEIR opinion.
Sure.... But in a debate you either provide arguments for your opinion or you keep your opinion to yourself. Otherwise you just have different parties repeating the same contradicting mantras over and over without any added value. It's boring and pointless, whereas rational debate can be both entertaining an educational for all parties involved.
Debate involves different parties not only exchanging their ideas but also the reasons why they hold those views, which are used as arguments to defend them. Rational debate requires rational arguments rather than emotional arguments.
If you hadn't had your head up your arse for so long, you'd realise that 99.9% of people on this forym just AREN'T INTERESTED in your petty whine.
Then why don't you and the rest of that 99,9% just shut up so the remaining 0,01% can debate in a comfortable atmosphere?
Oh, and if you think what you are doing is expressing your viewpoint while ignoring others, then obviously I would say that 137 IQ of yours is self-diagnosed, like your AS.
I don't ignore the viewpoints of others. I just expect people to be able to provide evidence that supports their viewpoints or to shut up if they can't. There is no point to expressing your views if you're not willing to provide any arguments for them and insulting people because they express an opinion different from yours is extremely immature.
Any no, my IQ is not self-diagnosed. I had it tested at a well-known hospital in my area. It's actually impossible to self-diagnose using the WAIS-III. Also, Mensa doesn't accept self-diagnosed tests. You either have to take their test under supervision or provide some sort of certificate for a supervised test taken somewhere else.
My AS is self-diagnosed, though, as the psychologist excluded the option because my condition was not pervasive enough in her opinion. I later found out that at the institute where I had myself tested AS is rarely diagnosed for adults who have a boyfriend/girlfriend, a social life and a well-paid job. There are still many psychologists who somehow assume that you cannot have AS and be succesful in life, which is of course utter rubbish.
