Now I really feel old...  :sad: Like, dude, old!|||Hmmm - actually, my research speciality is religious texts... or any texts, for that matter.  The alt right is defined in the manner in which its detractors wish it to be - some twit interviewed on...|||Can't speak for European countries, I believe they are storing up a world of hurt for themselves and in true ostrich-in-sand (they don't do that, in fact - ostriches, I mean) fashion they attempt to...|||I chose the nic a few years ago when the sad reality struck me that actually, I AM an old man now. My son just turned 40 the other day, just to rub it in...  The contrast with some of the school...|||Sorry, I now live in the UK... but love and long for Africa, I love the people (all colours and shapes) and the land, but loathe the rulers and their cronies. Western liberals have the blood and...|||Well, I suppose both sides here are at least attempting to present rational arguments, which is a step up from the normal emotional morass this topic evokes. Thanks... oops, may sound patronising but...|||Sure, but just for a week? Even a day? Pretty please?  No? Ah well, it was a brief madness...|||Wondering if I need to pee or not... big question in one's late 7th decade....  :unsure:  No, not actually... but wondering why the world is so peopled with fools and idiots - of which, to...|||I think of the whole hysterical response to the admittedly idiosyncratic Trump phenomenon, it has been those sort of accusations that have irked me most. They are part of the labelling technique -...|||If that is really your programme.... then, cool! (Although seems awfully correct to replace the male Socrates with the female Sophia - or are they both just fluid?)|||Nope - gets me into no end of trouble, especially in Africa but also regularly in metrosexual UK. But empirical evidence prevents me from making an ass of myself and apologising for my existence or...|||Heard a visiting American evangelical over here in UK comment: We had a choice between an immoral man surrounded by men and women of character and principle, and an immoral woman surrounded by a...|||I am not an American or in the USA, but you guys suffer from the same of sort of imposed public social consensus we have here in the UK and Europe - a consensus established and quite blatantly...|||Surprisingly, I think the majority either do, or at least do not actively dislike me. Can never tell with middle-class Brits, of course.

So the science/maths freak at school lands up in Christian ministry... the last 35 years at...|||Be rational, competent and professional - he will notice it eventually. Try to earn his respect as a rational and competent colleague, he will come to treat you as a partner and not as a relational...|||Politicians who tell the truth get labelled as radicals. It confuses the chattering and entertaining classes, and makes it harder for such to adapt to reality. I don't find the Trumps of this world...|||She is a Democrat and a politician. Not something I could ever envisage myself being or wanting to be, but I wouldn't speak for other INTJ's.  I am not American, having lived on 2 other continents,...|||- Team building exercises -  people who design team building exercises -  people who expect you to attend team building exercises -  people who expect you to participate in team building exercises...|||I prefer melodic music, which means that most post-1975 popular music is excluded. So is atonal classical stuff - as the man said, someone, somewhere, will have to atone for it!  Most classical...|||Life experience - the last time I thought I was wrong was when I mistakenly thought I was wrong.  Seriously: Nothing superior about INTJ, it is just difficult to relate to all those (most of...|||Ek is te lank uit die land - wie is Koos Kombuis?  Moet se ek stem saam met hom...|||You are human - welcome to the species! Take the confidence to be who you are, in many physical, psychological, spiritual and social ways you are absolutely unique, so enjoy the distinction... Being...|||It grieves me to have to reply to such a weird post, are you sure you are INTP and not just psycho? Perhaps just a kid?  Many INTJ's live under something like Cassandra's curse, fated to always...|||Dating is an agreement (could be), cohabitation could be a contract, but marriage is a covenant - or at least in the Judaeo-Christian sense it is. In this worldview it is a self-surrendering,...|||Ah..... like lightning and maternity, you never know when it will strike! Or, if you want it to happen, go out and make it happen... :smile:|||We might respond to this blatant and rather abject attempt to be noticed by your superiors, but.... damn, I just did! :exterminate:|||Oh yes, the darker stuff I do read is Scandanavian crime fiction. They don't come darker than that... Perhaps because I grew up in subtropic paradise I now find the ice and gloom of the north...|||Not sure about any real philosophy or science to it, just weird silliness (but clever!) The JW Wells series from Holt, starting with the Portable Door. Hero is an anti-hero and total rubbish with...|||As a good Christian I thought I would just academically and surreptitiously peek at the end of this thread. Only INTJ's could have a porn thread with no human primary sexual characteristics on...|||There may well be cogent olfactory reasons for that..|||I hardly ever meet any these days (church college environment, touchy-feely stuff.) Somewhere in England there is an incredibly beautiful redhead astronomer - I saw her on Sky news when I was still...|||I enjoy clever weirdness e g Tom Holt and T Pratchett.

BTW, I actually read a real hard-copy...|||Ours has the joy of living in a country village, which he owns for about a mile around the house, and he is instant death to local wildlife. Large pheasants, rabbits - all half eaten - are among what...|||Hur hur hur - no, I mean the REAL stuff  - cream, sugar, chocolate beans - and maybe some Turkish Delight to go with it...  You see - real guilt!|||Phew, thought I was really getting old until I saw the last few posts.  I like Elvis's sentimental songs, and really enjoy Mantovani and Acker Bilk.... read my nick! Smooth, melodic, heart-tugging...|||After living most of my life in Africa and now living in UK, I find that what the average UK/Eu person considers local social injustice would be relative prosperity on most of my continent. So it is...|||If I told you, would you tell the cops...? I mean, are we talking REAL guilt here!?  :peaceful:  Seriously, chocolate... can't control myself after first bite.
