  1. I'm thinking you're not all that strong in certain areas. Possibly in the T and/or J. It would account for your greater ease of reading people.

     

    Also, I love looking at classic villains and finding understanding in their motives. I could so easily become one if not for my faith...

  2. BTG you understand that women were tarred and feathered for wanting the right to vote. They went on hunger strikes and had tubes stuffed down their throats to force feed them. Women all over the world are oppressed and killed because they want an education. Baby girls are killed upon birth in China.

    1. Past is past. Don't overcompensate, or you're as bad as those who oppressed in the past.

    2. I specified that my statements were aimed solely at the USA. I have never lived in or visited any other country, so have no experience with which to base any opinions. Have you been to these other countries, and have experience concerning this? Do you have proof that this is something happening regularly across the entire country, or is it yet another of those overhyped media sensation stories?

     

    Not trying to discredit or insult, please never assume that it is intended that way. These are issues that should be discussed rationally, not emotionally. Emotional responses created the problem, and will only serve to aggravate it.

     

    Your comment about Christianity not contributing to women's oppression is also completely false. Here are a few quotes to prove it to you:

     

    Titus 2:4-5 says, "Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God."

     

    Peter 3:1 says, “Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands..."

     

    I mean for fuck's sake dude, women aren't even allowed to officially preach the word of God.

    Taking two verses out of context, and then also stating as fact a completely wrong assumption that is vaguely connected to a tradition, all to portray Christianity in general as anti-female... Learn the religion, then you might be able to say something that actually makes sense.

     

    Anyways, don't you think that in a system that has constantly been rigged against women, minorities, etc., we need to manually take control of the system and orient it the way it should be?

    No. It has already been corrected far beyond what it needs to be.

     

    Until this country isn't run by an overwhelming percentage of white men, you can't say that white men experience oppression. If you run the system you aren't oppressed. And you can say all you want that businesses have racial quotas and all that jazz, but that's almost always in low-level positions. You don't see blacks and women in executive positions. Why? Not because the employers are racist, but because they couldn't afford to go to college. They were too busy dropping out of school and working minimum wage to keep their families fed and in their section 8 housing.

    Ok, so using the same logic... China is run by Chinese people, so Chinese people can't be oppressed? Cuba is run by Cubans, so Cubans can't be oppressed? Russia is run by Russians, so Russians can't be oppressed? India is run by Indians, so Indians can't be oppressed? Logic is completely missing from this argument.

     

    You're using the class argument as a race argument. Correlation ≠ causation. Just because a majority of the top earners are white males, does not mean that all white males are privileged.

     

    So how do we fix this? We pay for them to go to school. We give them opportunities that they otherwise would NEVER receive. If we didn't have a racial quota, do you HONESTLY think workplaces would still be diverse considering the white male mind naturally devalues women and criminalizes blacks because of the society its been raised in?

    And yet those programs have been in place for over 50 years in most cases, and hasn't affected much of anything. Also, those are some of the most racist and bigoted comments I've ever heard.

     

    Anyways, I don't have a conclusion here. Hell yes I'm a feminist, and I 100% believe that all people should be regarded equally and that we need to do whatever it takes to achieve that.

    You claim to be for equality, and yet advocate for discrimination against the majority. Either be for minority supremacy, or equality... They're mutually exclusive.

     

    How about equality in relationships

     

    Consent, compromise, sharing, support, encouragement.

     

    If those things can't be adhered to, the relationship is probably in need of terminating.

    Sounds like a good place to start.

  3. For the INTP, it is extremely important that ideas and facts are expressed correctly and succinctly. They are likely to express themselves in what they believe to be absolute truths. Sometimes, their well thought-out understanding of an idea is not easily understandable by others, but the INTP is not naturally likely to tailor the truth so as to explain it in an understandable way to others. The INTP may be prone to abandoning a project once they have figured it out, moving on to the next thing. It's important that the INTP place importance on expressing their developed theories in understandable ways. In the end, an amazing discovery means nothing if you are the only person who understands it.

    Something I realized early on, and though I've been working on it for years, I still have trouble with it. The problem actually caused me to have to pull out of English Composition 101 because I couldn't get the essay over 3 pages in length. (I think the teacher understood, she was nice)

  4. Interesting that there are no extroverts here, and Jeb and I are the only "Judgers."

     

    Also, I share my personality type with Hannibal Lecter, James Moriarty, Emperor Palpatine, and Walter White. Nice to know I have such meritorious figures to look up to......

    Hey, Moriarty was a cool guy if he wasn't trying to match wits with Holmes. Palpatine and Hannibal woulda been fun without the obvious homicidal and power-grabbing tendencies. Walter White was just lost, but was nevertheless cool. I say you have nothing to worry about since you aren't trying to kill us, rule us, or make drugs with us.
