Now you are resorting to lying huh? James knows more than all of human culture. Human culture has the folk tale, passed down thru generations of people, that masturbation will make you go blind.
For the 20th time, it is my experience that tells me the difference.
For the 20th time, do you question the bus driver on his expertise before you ride the bus? Do you question the checker at the store about her expertise before buying groceries?
There are hundreds of things you accept without a thought. Yet for some reason, you need to challenge me on this. Why?
James. Think for a second. Do you understand that you could take your attitude and do what you are doing to any professional? I can come to your teacher area, and I can play the stupid student, just like you are.
James - I want you to learn this.
Happeh - Why should I listen to you?
James - Because I am the teacher
Happeh - So what?
James - Being the teacher means you have to listen to me
James - I graduated with a degree from college.
Happeh - So what? Here is my degree I bought from the internet. See? It looks just like yours.
Ophiolite said:You see right here Happeh is the root of your problem. You actually think that is how it works.
I teach from time to time. I teach adults. I teach adults with degrees. I teach adults with degrees from the top Universities on the planet. I teach adults with Alpha male credentials.
If I tried that routine - I'm the teacher, therefore you have to listen to me - they would have me for lunch. They listen because I present facts; I justify every claim I make; I handle every question thrown at me; I encourage critical analysis of my positions; I indicate the limits of my knowledge; I distinguish fact from supposition; certainty from guesswork.
You have done none of these things.
Ophiolite said:That is why we reject your thesis; that is why we poke fun at it; that is why we view you with pity.
You have a misconception of the role of authority in science. Given your many other misconceptions it does not surprise me.
If this wasn't so sad, it would be silly.

M*W: Certain affectations of body language does not a masturbator make. Your photographs were either posed or simply a result of the camera angle. Your eyes behold only delusions.
James R said:Happeh:
It's a joke, Happeh. Maybe once, somebody (maybe the Pope) said "Stop it! Or you will go blind!" It's such a blatantly silly and unproven statement that now it's just a joke people repeat with tongue in cheek. I guess you missed the gag.
James R said:Haven't you worked out by now that nobody cares about your "experience"?
James R said:"But the photos are objective!", you shout. But what are they objective evidence of? They provide clear evidence that people tilt their heads, and so on. But that's all.
James R said:You haven't proven that one single person in any of your photographs is an excessive masterbator, or that they permanently tilt their head, or anything else.
James R said:Similarly, NOBODY agrees with you. Every other person disagrees with your idea that people tilt their heads because they masterbate too much. And so, you are questioned. And when you have no answers, people dismiss you as some kind of deluded nutter. I'm sure you're used to that by now.
James R said:Do you really think a college degree is worth no more than a piece of paper you print from an internet site? It's quite rare to encounter somebody who actually, wholeheartedly believes that all "book learning" is a waste of time. For that reason alone, I will be most interested to delve further into your mindset.
Happeh said:Absoltely false. I justify every claim I make. I do the best I can to provide understandable answers. I beg for analysis of my positions. I plainly say when I do not know something. Your suppostions is my facts.
yes we ran away didn't we. we are still here refuting everything you sayHappeh said:Oh. I forgot. Every single adult who claims I am wrong, runs away like a girl when I say come to my house so I can prove it to you.
Proving they just want to talk smack. They are not really interested in proof.
well for starters james never ask that you stop posting.Happeh said:Sure I knew that when Cris called for all adults to give me the silent treatment. I knew that when you asked me to stop posting. I never let rude simpletons dictate my actions.
In your dreams.Happeh said:I have done everything you listed.
You have totally missed the point, again. I was offering a description of how one goes about trying to convince intelligent, well educated, sceptical individuals of something (indeed of anything). To demonstrate that this was not some hypothetical approach that I had dreamt up, but had been tested and proven in challenging circumstances I offered you a capsule history of my relevant credentials. (My belief that I am smarter than you is quite independent of my remarks and is based entirely on my reading of your remarks in this and other threads.)Happeh said:You are making a power play by talking about how you teach people with top degrees from top universities. As if that means that you are smarter than me or know more than me.
I do not know it all. My ignorance is enormous.Happeh said:The difference between us? I plainly admit that there are things you know that I don't. I have not lived your life. You probably know all kinds of things I don't. For you, it is impossible to extend the same common sense courtesy to me. In your mind, you know it all.You are blinded by arrogance.

And beyond all that I find that no other person in this forum gives credence to your babblings.

First, you need to give me a clue as to which city and country you live in. I can engineer a visit to many, but not all locations. If you are living in Peru it will tricky. If you are in the Emirates I can see you next week. Just let me know the generalities, not street and number.Happeh said:If you truly want my address, tell me when you are coming.
(Q) said:People have asked me for proof. I have posted a couple of videos that were meant to stimulate conversation. Not one person ever commented on the videos. To me this indicates they did not watch them.
Or, it indicates you're completely off your rocker because the videos were complete nonsense.
as if your man enoughHappeh said:You need a spanking.
