You'e talking to a guy whose favorite band has a song named '2+2=5'. Come on.

I can definitely be complex, but sometimes you need that to gain a more elegant understanding of the world. Just sayin'.

i squared.

irrational numbers could work too

This.

I know that was an easy play on words and all, but one thing I've found time and again here is that I never seem to have an issue with the *rational* people. What seems to drive folks nuts on occasion is that I want to be rigid in my application of reasoning instead of getting all touchy feely. I'm a very logic-driven guy, and I strongly believe that it's the capacity for rationale thought, rather than our compassion, that separates us from other species.In summary, take your "irrational" comments, and shove it up your ###!

HA, clever

I get what you're saying, and don't disagree. But at the same time, I know that there have been multiple occasions where you called people out for being too aggressive. So for you to criticize a feedback mechanism as being too passive seems a bit wishy washy.

Although, I have to be honest with you that when I went all crazy girl on her period on the propane guy, you called me out for being a negative nancy, or bitchy or something. You were right, and from that moment I have made it a point to be a more relaxed person and not get all bent out of shape unnecessarily or go all Vagus-Rage on things so much. It's easier to just say "Meh" and go on about your day.*terrorist fist bump*

Yeah, I can't imagine you being anything *but* laid back now. You're one of the most cool-headed people here, I think.

nothing wrong with people being encouraged to act like an adult, you can criticize without being acomplete dickwad, well I think I can, anyway

No, that's not been my experience. ;)Wouldn't "acting like an adult" include knowing when to select direct confrontation versus a gentle anonymous nudge in the right direction?

I don't know - maybe I just take things more lightly than I should. You seem to be more like me - just joking around more often than trying to squeeze deep philosophical conversations out of this place. The crowd used to be good for that, but it hasn't been that way in some time. So I accept it for what it is - cheap entertainment in a place where I can develop a character.

nah, actually that is pretty spot on actually. What I really need to do is to stay out of the political convo's because I'm not educated enough to properly debate in those topics and get eaten alive by lefties and righties alike. Lol

What I've found is that people who are of a more conservative/libertarian bent will *always* be at a "disadvantage" in those types of conversations. A belief that politics and the business of other people should not consume your life seems to correlate with not spending hours a day reading news sites rather than actually doing anything useful. Trust your gut and defend your reasoning - that's way more valuable in a discussion than some arbitrary statistics that come out of dedicating your existence to pondering how others should spend theirs. Just my 2c.

Right. I'm sure it kept him up at night. The tiny red rectangle of death in the lower right corner of the page. Oh the humanity. Maybe we should have just shot him through the knee. You know, like an "adult" would have handled it.

Let's not confuse "adult" with the Spokane Police Dept. now.
