Lol man, are you really so insecure that you have to attack others for the way they choose to live their lives?

What? I'm talking about your irrational hatred of anime.
Judging people is a sign of low intelligence and self-esteem, actually. You don't need to look at others' flaws if you're perfectly content with yourself.

Make more shit up, I guess.I find it bizarre that people enjoy it, because everything about it just offends me to my core, but that's it.

I don't see the correlation.And no, if I was perfect, I'd still judge people.
Yet you hate people for doing drugs, which is ridiculous.
Smart people focus more on themselves and the world than petty things about others.

Maybe actually respond to my argument?Judging others is never a positive thing. People need to learn to mind their own fucking business.

How can u say stuff like this but then go on to judge the fuck out of trannies? It's like there are 2 people posting on this account smh
So you'd call someone who knocks every intelligence test out of the park and gets into a world-class college stupid because they smoke a joint every weekend? Lol, man. You'd call that person fundamentally unintelligent?

Lol, man. You'd call that person fundamentally unintelligent?Yes, I would. Haven't you said yourself that tests are a poor indicator of intelligence anyway, or am I thinking of someone else? You'd be right in saying that. Book smarts have little to do with overall intelligence.
I'm talking about IQ, which is by definition book smarts.
With your logic, Carl Sagan was unintelligent. Yet I'm sure he was far smarter than you.
Quote from: Carsonogen on October 02, 2015, 01:10:21 PMI'm talking about IQ, which is by definition book smarts.IQ is about as meaningful as BMI.QuoteWith your logic, Carl Sagan was unintelligent. Yet I'm sure he was far smarter than you.If Carl Sagan's intelligence could be rated out of a million points, let's say he'd be around 900,000 for the sake of argument.He loses 10 points because he smoked pot. Not a lot, but it still factors in.
Quote from: DietrichSix on October 02, 2015, 12:46:03 PMJust because something can be dangerous doesn't inherently make it unintelligent. That's still your opinion, nothing objective about it.Explain how it doesn't.

There's no arguing with you lolYou don't even have an argument. It's pretty much "pot is dumb because I said so"
Everything you do in life carries risk.You are far more likely to die from falling coconuts than from ingesting mushrooms.
Life is about risk/reward. For you the reward is not worth the risk, but again that is your opinion.

For you the reward is not worth the risk, but again that is your opinion."That is your opinion" is not an argument. Show me why my opinion is wrong and why no one should agree with it.
Thank you for admitting that "drugs are dumb" is your opinion. That's all I was after.
Quote from: DietrichSix on October 02, 2015, 01:25:51 PMThank you for admitting that "drugs are dumb" is your opinion. That's all I was after.The difference is that my opinion is actually backed up by heavy substantiation and hard philosophy.Yours is backed up by piss, shit, and nothing.
You opinion is backed by zero knowledge and a stubborn refusal to accept that you can be wrong, mine is backed by quantifiable evidence.
Quote from: Carsonogen on October 02, 2015, 01:14:16 PMThere's no arguing with you lolYou don't even have an argument. It's pretty much "pot is dumb because I said so"Yeah, just ignore my philosophical position towards the idea of losing one's sobriety, which I think is my most salient point. My argument is that sobriety should be of utmost importance to everybody. I've stated repeatedly and truthfully that the brain is the most important organ in your body, and you'd have to be incredibly stupid to ever want to mess around with it. Even if the effects are temporary.
You also have to demonstrate to me why being sober isn't the best fucking thing in the universe, which it is.
Quote from: DietrichSix on October 02, 2015, 01:29:18 PMYou opinion is backed by zero knowledge and a stubborn refusal to accept that you can be wrong, mine is backed by quantifiable evidence.Drugs get you high.That's knowledge.Being sober is better, because you can control all your faculties, and you are perfectly conscious of everything.That's also knowledge.Unless you can show me a drug that doesn't get you high, no, you have nothing.
Quote from: DietrichSix on October 02, 2015, 01:36:21 PMit doesn't make me less intelligent because I enjoy doing them.It does though

I could just as easily say you're a moron if you need video games to enjoy your life.
The burden of proof is on you, you're the one making the positive claim. You have yet to demonstrate to me why is being sober is the best fucking thing in the universe.
When I smoke weed I'm in control of all my faculties, it's an enhancer for me.

You have yet to demonstrate to me why is being sober is the best fucking thing in the universe.Because you're not high. You're in control of your faculties. You can think straight. You can see everything the way it is. You can fucking drive. You're not up in the clouds, thinking about dumb meaningless bullshit. You're not wasting time, and if you are, at least you have the conscious choice of wasting time--when you're high, that's your only option."Getting high isn't stupid; it's fun" is a positive claim too, guy. You have to prove that.
