WHAT THE edit: may as well answer. Yes, because either they're vastly stupider than me or vastly smarter. There's nothing that matches my level of intelligence. |

| Nope. Most people that think that way are usually tools. |

| i gave up on such conversations. the majority of people don't care and are apathetic. i find so many topics i would love to talk about with others, but the convo goes nowhere fast. now i just focus on getting through by being nice and engaging. frankly the effort is not worth it. |

|
| Not really, no. Just ignore the ones that don't, and hope for someone with a serious reply. It's easier if you can post modestly without attacking others. Don't post your opinions as facts, but also support your opinions with coherence. With the right punctuation and logical flow, it isn't particularly difficult. |
Ah shit he is back |

Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| No, but that has more to do with a difference in interests. Most people around me talk about stuff I don't care about, and they don't care about the stuff I talk about. |
| Ara ara. |
| Simple answer Depends on Topic Sometimes I get in conversations with 2 friends, and my Calculus teacher on Politics, Ecomony, and Military. True story. |
 |
| I don't find it difficult, but that is only if the other person actually wishes to learn from the conversation as well. If they, just want to argue or force their views on me, I tend to just end the discussion. I personally like learning new things and also learning how others view them. I think it is an easy way to get inside of their thought process sometimes. |
 |
| Depends on the topic and If I have no knowledge of the topic, I try to understand it by researching it and listening to others views on it. |
 |
| Depends on the topic and the crowd. Often I'll just state my views, maybe try to point them out to others, but having been on the net as long as I have well frankly, Opinions are like assholes everyone's got one. Or like a dog in heat they fallow whichever ass is generating the most heat. And frankly past a point there is no use trying to prove my view or changing that of others on the net of all places. Life is short enough to waste it beating my head into a wall. |

| Losing an Argument online? Simply post a webpage full of links, and refuse to continue until your opponents have read every last one of them! WORKS EVERY TIME! "I was debating with someone who believed in climate change, when he linked me to a graph showing evidence to that effect. So I sent him a 10k word essay on the origins of Conservatism, and escaped with my dignity intact." "THANK YOU VERBOSE WEBPAGES OF QUESTIONABLE RELEVANCE!" |
| Huh.....what are you talking about OP? Isn't MAL more than enough.....look at all these intellectual members and threads! |
| I can have semi-serious discussions in real life, but when it comes to profoundly thought provoking stuff, I need time to think it over for myself. I can't formulate my thoughts in seconds and articulate them very well, like some people can. For this reason I avoid debating. |

Thankfully I can think about what I'm going to say before typing it down. I welcome any and all debates though, and I don't like backing down. |

Karpman said: This is what the forum was about before changes happened. i.e. General Discussion [...] What it has changed into is this, something far too casual for my liking. For this very reason I post a bit less, and engage less in making serious topics, fearing they will be ignored. That's what CE is supposed to be. But most seems to prefer posting in CD for some reason. Maybe the section title is misleading... On topic : nope. Just need to adapt the topic to who you are talking to or let the discussion derail until it comes to a topic where everyone have idea to share. Also thinking everyone is to stupid to have interesting idea around you is definitely the worst way to engage anything. Philosopher and politician wannabe can also happen to be quite annoying and ridiculous when they just want to masturbate to your face though. It's only interesting when it is about sharing something. Proving you are right don't bring much in itself. |
 I sometime have funky grammar, sorry about that. If you can correct some of my post, you would be an angel. |
| It's not all that difficult. The person I'm trying to converse with has to have some degree of sense though, for it to work out. |

Not_Biased said: Honestly I do. Sometimes I think I'm ahead of the times. Several hundred years laters, people will go, "Who is this idiot, Katsucats?" And then several hundred years after that, people will realize, "Katsucats is a genius!"In all modesty, I am fairly intellectually astute, I could say I am always striving to become a better person and expand my universe of knowledge and understanding by exploring various fields not necessarily pertinent to my future career or life (Thanks pax967 and Allecto) I think people nowadays are too narrowminded about the stuff that they're totally off about, so they'll never grow. Because of that, I can sympathize with how you feel (but I feel it about you also). |
