'My thread lives!!~|||From what I can tell, the debate as it now stands is over cultural integrity.

I'm not too terribly well educated on the matter, but there have to be other places where these issues...|||Good point Wraith. In order to unite, usually there has to be an 'other' to unite against. Although that's somewhat of a pessimistic view on human nature. If that's the case, the only hope for...|||The presidential race is well nigh upon those of us in America, and I've been thinking lately about the issue of border security. There's a lot of talk, mostly in the republican party, about securing...|||Last night I went to a jazz swing dance at my school. I danced with around ten girls I barely knew, and I had a fucking great time.|||Once you get what you thought you could never have, it is always disappointing, especially if it is a human.  Do I want most the things which I think I will never have? Seems masochistic...|||Never mind.|||I think you may be a bit confused. Maybe you should look over the rest of this thread.|||Nah it's alright. We just have to keep using words they can't understand.|||Perhaps I need to get over my cynicism. Parecon makes sense. I doubt that it will ever be adopted by a significant amount of the population, and with some of parecon's ideas about money (which aren't...|||Thanks for the responses. I mean, let's say you were paying a guy $100 to remove a tree from your front lawn. He would try to finish the job as quickly and efficiently as possible, so his return on...|||I did a little research on this, and it seems rather clever. I have a few questions, though:  1) It relies on an educated and motivated workforce. I don't know about other countries, but in America...|||Don't worry about it. Just seemed like in a thread bout how smart we are, we should have good spelling lest those pesky other types invade and expose our hypocrisy ;)|||rapt*  The fact that this same trend is happening in colleges is truly disturbing. With public schools, I wonder sometimes if funding is continually cut and standards lowered because a complacent,...|||I agree completely (assuming you're talking about american public schools). Public school is brought down to the lowest degree of ability. Here in Texas, we have a standardized test called TAKS...|||If you had more carefully read my post, maybe you would have seen that i wrote every political and economic system I have seen...works great on paper. I'll admit that I haven't studied economics...|||http://i53.tinypic.com/123v71w.jpg  MissJordan I did it for the lulz.|||MissJordan your avatar disturbs me greatly.|||I don't know where I stand in a debate on Capitalism vs. Socialism, as I'm not sure which would win in a cage match. I think we need an economic model that is intimately tied to human nature, one...|||Know your enemy is a common phrase. Knowing is half the battle? I meant the emotions. Basically I was just saying if you want to deal with emotions ao they don't overwhelm them, you have to know...|||Istbkleta  I often feel like I have no word to describe the emotion I'm feeling, especially when I am in a relationship or may potentially be in a relationship. Are there words? I don't think so. I...|||bored*????|||Well I can understand why you'd be blind with a laser, or if you just left a light bulb on (no light would be absorbed, adding more and more until it was too btight), but what if you just sent in a...|||What would happen if you were sitting in a room with walls, ceiling and floor made of mirrors, and covered completely in a reflective material except for eye holes and then turned on a light?...|||Your writing style is orgasmically dense. You're almost as bad as Jung himself (almost).|||Ha. I probably deserved that.|||</thread> please. I appreciate the advice but I'm regretting impulsively starting this thread and I'd rather it just died. Thanks again.|||Well it was never really a firmly held belief, more of a hope i suppose. But you are correct on that second part, which is what is really frustrating me. It eludes understanding. Actually atm I'm...|||I think there are two kinds of people in the world: those who manipulate others to get what they want with no regard for the other person, and those who generally try to be independent.

Your Left Brain Percentages   40% Sequential (Your most dominant...|||Thank you~ but we don't really know the answers, we just act like we do.|||I wish I could hit Thank a hundred times.|||I feel admiration for serial killers.

I love you infps....  I hope it's a journey shes willing to take. She has told me a lot of things that fuel her self-esteem problems, and I've tried to explain...|||Thank you. That's good stuff.|||Well I don't really know where to start....  I know this girl who I am quite sure is an INFP. We have been friends for a long time, and about a week ago I told her that I love her. In fact, I'm...|||I'll say.  I'd try to give you some advice but I'm too tired. According to the good people in this thread, you are too. So stop trying to think and get some sleep!|||That was a contribution which I think was best coming from an enfp.
