What is your IQ anyway a 10? ...
Had no idea!? So took this one http://www.free-iqtest.net took about 20mins left one question out and apparently it's 137.
I'm just sensing that you're actually capable of change, and congratulating you for it. ...
Really don't give two tosses, as if this 'sense' is anything like your 'gender' sense its worth fuck all.
Your response is obviously your resentment in my being right, helping you to bring on that change. ...
Obviously! :roll: You're as delusional as Bill.
Grow up, I'm really your friend; that's a huge chip on your shoulder, my UK friend.
Did I ask you to be my friend?
You just don't pay attention with cunning observation!
You mean I didn't read things into it that aren't there?
You're 'acting' like an idiot again, he said "THIS TYPE" not "THIS GUY!" It's you having problems with your circular dictionaries again.
Pay attention at the back there! It's about the animal being endangered and in the context he meant the species.
You tried to characterize me such as this 'religious' character was, that I didn't even know existed; your fear of religion screaming loudly, it was obvious what you were trying to say, you've done it before. So your "such as" had nothing to do with my objection, and you know it; playing to the crowd, what a joke you are!
:lol: It's your religious slips that are showing as it's nothing to do with religion and all about Malthus's predictions, which you'd know if you'd bothered to actually read past the google search and in that context you are exactly in his vein.
Sorry but your track record says otherwise, so you're a liar as usual, for fear my arising, for fear!
Show me my track record and save your pet psycho-babble theory for yourself.
Your denial so very apparent as usual, your protection fear racket (character armor) is showing! By the way, it had nothing to do with psychology, simply logic.
I'll let others judge the merits of your claims as I can't be bothered to do it all once again -
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=15551&hilit=child&start=30
You conveniently forgot to reference the other thread, without which you don't look so bad, how predictable, the liar that you have proven to be! I'll find it and post the link, if your friends haven't manicured it for you, you prior mod you!
Touch of paranoia there and a very handy get out clause. Show me this other thread.
Your psycho babble, that you know so well, is it any wonder, has risen up and bit you on your ass.
See the question mark?
You the fool that doesn't know the difference between the climates in the US versus the UK. As if in America there is only one type threat. Having a problem with philosophy again, huh?
I can very well believe that you think there are such threats as if there are more of you then it will be a very dangerous place but in a situation where you'll be firing mini-gun rounds your society is over and you'll soon be running out of ammo so get a bow and learn the sword.
Again, a liar you have shown yourself to be, how about an actual quote instead of your purposeful ad-lib meant to serve you lying purpose alone. Truth evades you at every turn, I bet you see it as relative don't you?
I'll let others judge the merits of your claims as I can't be bothered to do it all once again -
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=15551&hilit=child&start=30
Again with you whacked out characterizations, because of your cowardice, your fear, that you'd even go so far as to murder an infant so you can live and suck the life out of more innocent beings.
I'll let others judge the merits of your claims as I can't be bothered to do it all once again -
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=15551&hilit=child&start=30
Again your whacked out lies to serve your selfish purpose, mine was that of a lesson, there was no self pride involved! I really don't think you're capable of being honest, your swapping out ones words with your preconceived unsound notions when it suits you, but then I'd expect that from one that's deluded oneself into believing that another's meaning is found in your reply alone. You're one sick puppy!
Lmfao! So why after a very short time upon this forum did you bother to bring up your experience and have repeated it a number of times and why did you even bother in the first place?
Why, I don't have a boner for Bill, you do! It's only obvious my friend!
You and Bill really need to compare subconsciousnesses.
Again, to hear you tell it, believing you can actually know what's in ones mind better than they do. You should see a psychologist, as there is no such thing as mind reading, only observation, and you've seen no such things in me that aren't illusory.
What are you babbling about now? I observed Bill raising the thought of sexual deviancy and questioned the motive and you jumped upon your horse and rode it nowhere.
Figures it'd go over your head, firm in your self righteousness!
Your red-herring is a strawman.

Good, that's all any of us can do. And so it's not important how daft ones thoughts are.

There you go with your self-centered-ness again, typical!
You just don't pay attention with cunning observation!
You mean I didn't read things into it that aren't there?
It's no wonder you chose that particular response, as it's what you 'usually' project upon others.
You're 'acting' like an idiot again, he said "THIS TYPE" not "THIS GUY!" It's you having problems with your circular dictionaries again.

That you and the majority are cowards, and you're counting on them, is no surprise. Sure cowards seek their own level, it's a very low level indeed. So I'd be proud to stand against such cowardice. The riddle of M.A.D. has escaped you, but then I'd expect no less out of a would be cowardly baby killer, that simply finds acceptance, and their moral compass, amongst the nods of an ignorant irrational mob!

You've been the dishonest one, not I! Actually you're the biggest exposed liar I've met here. Face it, you have more pull here than anyone, being a prior mod.

Are you kidding me? Almost everyday someone is killed due to some halfwit emotional bullshit, as well as innocent bystanders. And in fact my residence has been cased by would be burglars, or worse, at least on two occasions. You're just envious and pissed because I'm ready for the halfwits, and you weren't and got mugged by one. The boy scout motto is, "be prepared," and I, most assuredly, am. You weren't, get over it.

as if there are more of you then it will be a very dangerous place but in a situation where you'll be firing mini-gun rounds your society is over and you'll soon be running out of ammo so get a bow and learn the sword.
It's actually quite funny how your ignorant preconceptions make you look stupid, case in point, you assume quite a lot immediately above! And it's quite laughable!

Lmfao! So why after a very short time upon this forum did you bother to bring up your experience and have repeated it a number of times and why did you even bother in the first place?
Pay attention! As a LESSON! At least I'm, very proud indeed, of my lessons.

Why, I don't have a boner for Bill, you do! It's only obvious my friend!
You and Bill really need to compare subconsciousnesses.
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm not badgering him! Remember I'm living and letting others live here, except for those like the Goat boy, my only exception! That people are bound by various degrees of determinism, I fully understand, while you seemingly have no clue, and I make allowances for their inclusion, unless they threaten someone, and have proven to be the type that would probably attempt to make good on their word. Bill is totally benign as far as trying to hurt people is concerned, I see that he is really interested in philosophy, and if what he says about his health is true, he probably needs it. The reason I'm saying you have a boner for him, is because you hound him without an ounce of understanding, because you don't care about other people, (your words). People are just fodder for you canon of credentials, your belief that you're superior somehow, due to your schooling, and that people below you, that don't fit your preconceived notions of what one should be, should be cast out, ridiculed and abused. And all this in the face of admitting you've gotten involved in the nuclear debate, stating that you actually did something once to try and stop it, yet that you'd then join the other side, killing a baby to save your sorry ass, so the nuclear threat may continue. Obviously then, it was pure fear that you attempted to stop it in the first place, not some altruistic self sacrifice measure. When I jumped into that raging river to save that girls life, that she believed I hated, I knew full well that she'd try and drown me instead, to save her life, as I was trained that it would be the case, yet I jumped in anyway, potentially sacrificing my life for hers. This sort of thing is lost on your dumb ass, you'd never sacrifice your life, or your sense of what one should be on a philosophy forum, for another that may be in need of another type saving. You self righteous idiot! I know this line of thinking and compassion is lost on you, because you don't care, (your words). So yes your boner for people like Bill is your fucking them over because you feel your station in life has greater meaning than theirs, and that your believed aloofness gives you that right. You're the worst kind of self serving wanker, as I've said you use your education as a weapon, not as a means to understand both yourself and others, thus making allowances for those that may not have been as lucky as you have been. So in the face of philosophical understanding of how determinism shapes people, you've proven that you haven't got a fucking clue, that you're a philosophical flunky. And it's a crying shame that you need to try and hurt someone to validate your life's worth. As I've said, you're a sick fuck! There's no fucking way in hell that I'd kill that baby to save mankind from it's twisted sense of what's right and wrong, as largely mankind has proven it's an idiot! That those in charge only balance the books of others, those they falsely believe are inferior, so they can rake in their cash, and power, at the expense of their inferior slaves. It's the same age old song and dance my friend. The fear of death so strong, that people do the worst possible things to others so as to stave it off, how absurd. Have you read Ernest Becker's, "Denial of Death" yet? No? Then you'll remain an idiot! Yes? Then there may be hope for you yet!
Again, to hear you tell it, believing you can actually know what's in ones mind better than they do. You should see a psychologist, as there is no such thing as mind reading, only observation, and you've seen no such things in me that aren't illusory.

No, what you see in my red-herrings thus my strawmen is your denial or ignorance, one of the two. You're philosophically inept, with regard to understanding your fellow man. Must have been due to the A.I. classes you took, that's got you so far out of touch. That and NLP of course! Magic indeed, sheesh!

How could you have a problem with that type of concept?

1) You asked what sort of person, and I told you Ernest Hemingway. Can't face the truth?

2) I have no trouble the concept of "endangered species" The WWF keeps a list of them and the African Buffalo, and ME (humans) are not on the list. I think you might be the one to have a problem of the concept.

3) fuck off and finish you burger, and hot dog you fucking moron, and reflect where the meat came from.
Well, since humans aren't on the WWF 'engangered' list then I suppose it's ok to shoot them for 'sport'. Only a psychopath kills for pleasure.

Good, that's all any of us can do. And so it's not important how daft ones thoughts are.
That must be of great comfort to you.
Actually the question was obviously rhetorical. But OK, I'll take your word for it despite all your incessant lying.
You keep saying this but have yet to point out a single lie of mine.

See your nasty little psychobabble games, 137 matey! :lol:
Yes that is one of your problems, that you don't actually care for anything but yourself.
You are wrong, I just don't care for you.
Nothing new here, your protection fear racket (character armor), is showing as usual!
More of your nonsense psychobabble.
There you go with your self-centered-ness again, typical!
Says the numbnut declaring himself my friend.
It's no wonder you chose that particular response, as it's what you 'usually' project upon others.
You're the one who said you were Bill's cunning linguist?
There you go again believing only you can know another's meaning, is it lonely believing you're a god? Are all gods practicing atheists?
Well 'they' definitely appear to not believe in any others?

You are on a philosophy forum, as is Bill, if you want to think that what people say is not what they mean then that is your prerogative, me I like Philosophy.
I can have no religious slips as I'm agnostic. And only a fool would believe that Malthus's predictions were some how detached from his religious nature.
Show me how?
Fuck you with your demands, who the fuck do you think you are other than a coward that would murder children, to save your twisted ass? Oh yeah I forgot, an omnipotent god; talk about contradictory!
Yadda! Yadda! Yadda! *Yawn* *Yawn* *Yawn* with your incessant insinuations. Back it up or shut up.
That you and the majority are cowards, and you're counting on them, is no surprise. Sure cowards seek their own level, it's a very low level indeed. So I'd be proud to stand against such cowardice. The riddle of M.A.D. has escaped you, but then I'd expect no less out of a would be cowardly baby killer, that simply finds acceptance, and their moral compass, amongst the nods of an ignorant irrational mob!
Oh! Look at the white knight upon his high horse. You forget that it's you that'd be killing the whole human race.
You've been the dishonest one, not I! Actually you're the biggest exposed liar I've met here. ...
Show me turd.
Face it, you have more pull here than anyone, being a prior mod.
Bollocks.
And there are two sides to that coin, that which you might ask them to do for you, and that which they might volunteer to do for you, possibly without your knowledge. I've found it and copied it, but have yet to parse it.
'Parse it', you pretentious knob!

Your pet psychobabble theory quickly leads you to paranoia.
That you include a get out of jail free card, is clever, but lets face it, your track record speaks for itself.
Show me. As I'm about the only person here who publically retracts his words if clearly proven wrong.
Are you kidding me? Almost everyday someone is killed due to some halfwit emotional bullshit, as well as innocent bystanders. And in fact my residence has been cased by would be burglars, or worse, at least on two occasions. You're just envious and pissed because I'm ready for the halfwits, and you weren't and got mugged by one. The boy scout motto is, "be prepared," and I, most assuredly, am. You weren't, get over it.
:lol: By three actually and with no injury.

And you wonder why I would be worried about you if you were my neighbour, as from the sounds of it you'll be opening up with your mini-gun and destroying half the neighborhood. :lol:

Boy! Do I prefer Henry and his shotgun.
It's actually quite funny how your ignorant preconceptions make you look stupid, case in point, you assume quite a lot immediately above! And it's quite laughable!
Is it? Enjoy your civil war you little warmonger.
Again that you and the majority are cowards, and you're counting on them, is no surprise! Would be baby killers, for the sake of their own ass, share that in common.
Yadda! Yadda! Yadda! *Yawn* *Yawn* *Yawn*

You appear to fear the judgement of your philosophical peers?
Again, would be baby killers, for the sake of their own ass, share your resolve in common.
:lol: See above.
Pay attention! As a LESSON! At least I'm, very proud indeed, of my lessons.
To whom!? Some of us were marching and protesting for CND at the time and need no lesson from those who contributed to the problem.
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm not badgering him! Remember I'm living and letting others live here, except for those like the Goat boy, my only exception! That people are bound by various degrees of determinism, I fully understand, while you seemingly have no clue, and I make allowances for their inclusion, unless they threaten someone, and have proven to be the type that would probably attempt to make good on their word. ...
And yet this 'determinism' apparently doesn't apply to me? How convenient.
Bill is totally benign as far as trying to hurt people is concerned, I see that he is really interested in philosophy, and if what he says about his health is true, he probably needs it. ...
With respect to Philosophy, is he fuck! He promotes ignorance, illiteracy, alcoholism, drug-taking, illogic, stupidity, self-abuse, voyeurism of others pain, plagiarism, etc, etc and all for his own self-promotion. He ignores any attempt to discuss or converse with others and has been banned from pretty much every philosophy and political forum on the Web, the last thing he is interested in is Philosophy or philosophising. He should be on a psychoanalysis site as he'd be a star turn and I don't give a toss about his health as this is a Philosophy forum not a self-help group.
The reason I'm saying you have a boner for him, is because you hound him without an ounce of understanding, because you don't care about other people, (your words). People are just fodder for you canon of credentials, your belief that you're superior somehow, due to your schooling, and that people below you, that don't fit your preconceived notions of what one should be, should be cast out, ridiculed and abused. ...
No, they should be challenged on their opinions, the ridicule and abuse comes from long acquaintance.
And all this in the face of admitting you've gotten involved in the nuclear debate, stating that you actually did something once to try and stop it, yet that you'd then join the other side, killing a baby to save your sorry ass, so the nuclear threat may continue. ...
It wasn't about the nuclear debate you loon!! It was a standard ethical thought game to explore morals and ethics. You decided on your high-horse to kill all the human race, innocents and your kids included, I decided to kill one innocent to save my kids and the other innocents.
Obviously then, it was pure fear that you attempted to stop it in the first place, not some altruistic self sacrifice measure. ...
LMFAO! Is this you knowing about me is it? What a hypocrite.

Save your psycho-babble pet theory for yourself and you can keep your altruistic self sacrifice for the birds. I might dislike Ayn but she made a good point.
When I jumped into that raging river to save that girls life, that she believed I hated, I knew full well that she'd try and drown me instead, to save her life, as I was trained that it would be the case, yet I jumped in anyway, potentially sacrificing my life for hers. ...
Admirable but not quite the strong silent type eh!
This sort of thing is lost on your dumb ass, you'd never sacrifice your life, or your sense of what one should be on a philosophy forum, for another that may be in need of another type saving. You self righteous idiot! ...
LMFAO AGAIN! You pretentious prat that you think you are the white knight of the world saving others.
I know this line of thinking and compassion is lost on you, because you don't care, (your words). So yes your boner for people like Bill is your fucking them over because you feel your station in life has greater meaning than theirs, and that your believed aloofness gives you that right. You're the worst kind of self serving wanker, as I've said you use your education as a weapon, not as a means to understand both yourself and others, thus making allowances for those that may not have been as lucky as you have been. ...
Fuck lucky! I sacrificed and worked hard for the opportunity. I care about the harm that such as Bill promotes and whilst I cannot do much about gnus such as him I can at least upon a philosophy forum challenge his billshit. White knight twats like you are another matter.
So in the face of philosophical understanding of how determinism shapes people, you've proven that you haven't got a fucking clue, that you're a philosophical flunky. ...
And once again you appear selective about how you apply such 'determinism'.
And it's a crying shame that you need to try and hurt someone to validate your life's worth. As I've said, you're a sick fuck! There's no fucking way in hell that I'd kill that baby to save mankind from it's twisted sense of what's right and wrong, as largely mankind has proven it's an idiot! ...
No, you'd just kill the rest of the babies to prove your twisted moral superiority.
That those in charge only balance the books of others, those they falsely believe are inferior, so they can rake in their cash, and power, at the expense of their inferior slaves. It's the same age old song and dance my friend. The fear of death so strong, that people do the worst possible things to others so as to stave it off, how absurd. Have you read Ernest Becker's, "Denial of Death" yet? No? Then you'll remain an idiot! Yes? Then there may be hope for you yet!
I'll take a read but grand psychological theories don't appeal that much compared to the philosophers I've read.
Again, you hear babbling due to your ignorance, and in your case it's typical.
It's babble because you challenge my observation of a persons words with behind the scene psychological blinkers.
No, what you see in my red-herrings thus my strawmen is your denial or ignorance, one of the two. You're philosophically inept, with regard to understanding your fellow man. Must have been due to the A.I. classes you took, that's got you so far out of touch. That and NLP of course! Magic indeed, sheesh!
Once again you talk much about what you don't know, so much for the 'I know nothing' brigade. As I've told Bill, wiki is not the font of all knowledge and psychology is a pseudo-science which NLP accepts but you apparently don't.

Dear oh dear, not the rhino post in disguise.

Solution, privatise the ivory trade and farm elephants, give the locals the trading and selling rights and I pretty much can guarantee that there'll be a glut of elephants.

You do not understand the image you post.

The image is of a plains elephant; your article is about forest elephants.

Plains elephants are not in immediate danger of extinction. From time to time, their numbers grow so large that culls are introduced as the number of natural predators cannot balance the numbers. Culls prevent further dessertification which is the consequence of overgrazing by elephants and other herbivores.

Elephants so culled, - most often lone males in many African countries are given to the people's of the local villages whose crops have been destroyed by elephants. This provides them with rare and much needed protein.

The image you have posted is in all likelihood part of the process. This of it like a MacDonald's except that Big Mac are responsible for the wholesales destruction of millions of acres of rainforest in Brazil.

It's easy to blame others for the destruction of the world, when you yourself are probably more to blame because of your lifestyle for the ongoing destruction of he ecosystem world-wide; especially since you live in the USA - the world's largest per capita destroyer of the earth

No.
Nationalise Ivory trade and put the money into rangers and eco-management.

There is often a glut of elephants and I reckon that is a picture of a cull for villagers who have had crops eaten.
Some countries practice this, others sell hunting licences.

The image I used was from this article.


The image clearly IS an image of an African Forest Elephant which was killed by poachers FOR it's tusks.


...so, there's that.


On the other hand WE ARE ALL ASSHOLES when it comes to empathy towards fellow living things. NONE of us are innocent.

Why don't you just come right out and discredit Charles Darwin and natural selection, huh?
