I'd also like to add, it's merely your interpretation that I attacked you personally. I even explained what I meant and I guess you ignored it.
Somewhere you got it in your head that me explaining that you aren't a unique case, was "You're nothing special, and I know everything about you!"
And that me saying your a (Partial)conformist by your own words was not an insult. Unless you mean your own words insult you?
So I misinterpreted one statement, and now, you run with it like the argument is lost. My, this really makes your points more valid. So ONE speculation about you was incorrect, I admitted it, and changed it accordingly. Now you speak like you're on a throne lol. This is hysterical.
I took it to explain WHY you conform, which incidentally was the only point of the alleged statement where I did you the vast disservice of exaggerating the extent of your cowardice. Lots of weird things you've made up in your head huh?
So, we agree then? You are conformist (There's no such thing as partially, no shades of grey, only to what extent you will go). So minus the word "Everyone" I was completely 100% right. Thanks for that clarification. No misinterpretation.
In my experience this is what happens when someone has nothing left to stand on. You desperately cling to one thing that pushed your buttons, like it somehow just negated all the other points.
Lets also add the fact that you freely admitted in choosing who you conform to and not, therefore you must concede that you have in fact allowed yourself to be affected by other's opinions. Anything else you want to concede to while we're at it?
Oh, I'm leaving work now, might be a while before I can reply again.
Ah whatever. I'm done arguing, now it's just silly.
If only I had worded my opinion like Lucie. It's what I've been trying to say all along, and state how I personally deal with it.
Sorry I forgot to add this, damn no edit ><.
I just want to clarify some things.
Firstly, not once did I say to be oblivious, apathetic, or simply ignore all problems. What I was implying is that you shouldn't let other's opinions have power over you. Don't let other's opinions bring you down is essentially what I was saying. I must have done a poor job explaining that, and I apologize.
Secondly, the reason I stopped arguing is because of the ongoing hypocrisy in your (And I'd concede to mine, as well) arguments. You accuse me of assumption over and over again, by assuming you understand my point of view, which you clearly don't, expressed by your ongoing claims that I said you should be oblivious, and apathetic to all problems you have. I'd also like to mention I have mentioned a few times that you should stand up for your rights, but apparently you decided to ignore it. I'm not sure how Apathetic and standing up for your rights coincide but apparently on your world, they do.
Thirdly, on the topic of conformity, I never meant to explain that it's wrong to conform, nor that you're an uber conformist. What I'm saying, or tried to say, is that it's fundamentally a *** thing in this world that we must hide who we really are to fit in, and that I strive not to allow that to have any affect on me, and just be myself. I feel much better just saying "*** it" to anyone who doesn't like me, and doing whatever I want according to who I am.
Basically, I feel that other's opinions don't matter, because, you can always make yourself not care about the consequences. I hope I'm explaining this right, since I seem to have a problem not getting my opinion out perfectly in words. We can disagree on this thought, no problem, it's just pointless to continue arguing over a difference that can not be proven right or wrong. It's just a difference in belief.
Sorry for being a bit "Rough". But it irritates me when people accuse me of something they do themselves. This debate became stupid the moment we stopped arguing about the points, and started arguing about how each other was arguing. That is why this is silly. The bottom line is, I misused a word, you apparently took it way to personally, and then the debate became a personal argument.
P.S. I loved your explanation on why you called me an idiot. Basically in a nut shell you said "I called him an idiot, because he's an idiot". Way to be tolerant of other people's opinions.
I'm not going to contribute to the argument again, but to explain my point of view, when obviously if I kept telling you "thats not what I said or meant" you didn't understand it (Whether it was my fault of yours). Weren't you the one who explained to me that you shouldn't talk about stuff you don't know about? Take your own advice please.
I'm not arguing - it was a statement.
Yeah, critiquing, OK lol.
cri·tique
1. an article or essay criticizing a literary or other work; detailed evaluation; review.
2. a criticism or critical comment on some problem, subject, etc.
3. the art or practice of criticism.
4. to review or analyze critically.
Man, how could I confuse it with this:
Insult
–verb (used with object)
1. to treat or speak to insolently or with contemptuous rudeness; affront.
2. to affect as an affront; offend or demean.
3. Archaic. to attack; assault.
–verb (used without object)
4. Archaic. to behave with insolent triumph; exult contemptuously (usually fol. by on, upon, or over).
–noun
5. an insolent or contemptuously rude action or remark; affront.
I'm not bothered you think I'm an idiot. I'm responding because, I have more to say. But hey, since you don't even know the difference in definition of a simple word, I'm just going to assume you know practically nothing, and skew all logic to fit your needs. Your opinion doesn't matter to me, however it gives me great pleasure to offer proof of you're faulty, insolent, and childish logic.
