tali89:
I've noticed that demeaning others as being uneducated while concurrently crowing about your own so-called education is a common theme with you.
And, of course, you'll be happy to demonstrate with appropriate links where I've crowed about my so-called education and where I have demeaned others. Won't you?
Do you regard people who do not possess a formal education as being inferior to you?
In terms of formal educatedness? Of course they are. Just as I am inferior to olympic athletes in terms of the number of olympic games I have competed in.
Do you actually think that having a piece of paper makes you intellectually and morally superior to someone who does not?
It depends what kind of piece of paper you're referring to. I assume the kind of piece of paper you are referring to is the kind that amounts to some kind of official
recognition that one has a certain qualification or achievement.
A university degree is a piece of paper. Having a degree (or two or more, as the case may be) makes me more formally qualified in certain specific areas than somebody who does not. Universities are gatekeepers to the professions. You can't get into a profession without a university degree. A degree is a recognition that you have reached a certain minimum standard expected of a professional in the particular field in which you have qualified.
An IQ test is a piece of paper. A person with a higher IQ score on an official test could be said to be intellectually superior to someone with a lower score. However, there would likely be some debate about that, because arguably IQ tests have certain biases. According to one argument, having a high IQ score merely says that you are better at IQ tests than people with lower scores, and not necessarily intellectually superior.
You might like to suggest other ways to measure intellect and get a relevant piece of paper. Then I can probably answer your query more fully.
As far as I am aware, there are no official pieces of paper that attest to moral superiority. Arguably, something like the Nobel Peace Prize might qualify. Admittedly, I have never received that prize, but if I were ever to be awarded it I might claim a certain kind of moral superiority. Then again, this is also arguable.
Once again, perhaps you can suggest a piece of paper that would result in moral superiority.
My question to you on this matter would be the opposite: do you think that NOT having a university degree, or having a low IQ score (say), or having a recorded criminal conviction (say) would make you intellectually or morally superior to somebody who did not? I look forward to your answer.
Because from what I've seen, your education hasn't endowed you with the ability to think critically, comprehend basic English, or carry yourself with integrity.
You're obviously not a good person to trust in making that kind of judgment. Having demonstrated that you have no integrity and all.
So you say. You've also previously stated I'm 'not worth wasting any time on', yet continue to read and respond to my posts.
I think what I said was that I'll spend as much time on your posts as I want to - no more and no less.
Also, remember you wrote "I took away your control by ignoring you...". But you're
not ignoring me. You lack self-control. Do you agree?
I mentioned content from another thread because ....
You mean this thread:
http://www.sciforums.com/threads/sexual-harassment.152471/
Indeed. I've actually given a lot of thought to your suggestion, and from now on I'm going to include the link to that discussion in my signature, so that it will appear at the bottom of each message I post.
Good. I can't think of a better warning your readers could have.
You appear to be confused...
I invite anybody who is interested to read the thread and decide for themselves whether I show any confusion there.
And it was you who demonstrated double standards in regards to sexual harassment perpetrated by women vs. sexual harassment perpetrated by men.
As I said before, you might hope to bullshit somebody else who is reading your posts, but trying this on with me just makes me laugh at you.
Again, I invite anybody who is interested to read the thread and form their own opinion. Having said that, I'm sure that with your constant whining, most readers are probably just skipping over your posts by now.
Indeed you have. This forum is your own personal little fiefdom...
I have made an average of about 5 to 6 posts a day over the time I have been here, and I have a feifdom!
How are you going, tali89?
I have chosen to walk away from a number of our discussions...
Run away and hide for a while, more like it. Then, you pop up again in a new thread, spouting the same stuff again, pretending the other one never happened.
I'd ask again why you are so fascinated by my gender...
And I'd ask you again whether you are ashamed of your gender.
As I noted earlier, what you leave out of your posts is often far more interesting than what you put in. You avoid certain questions like the plague. Why is that?
Indeed, you have a propensity to make rubbish up, so it wouldn't surprise me if you did invent some spin.
Hmm...
I am somewhat insulted by your claim. So I'm going to have to ask you to provide some links that demonstrate my "propensity to make rubbish up". Make sure you clearly show why what I wrote is rubbish when you do so.
Please do this in your next post, or apologise to me for this latest unfounded insult of yours.
If you choose to respond that you will neither apologise nor prove your claim, I will report this behaviour to the moderator team and recommend that you be officially warned for telling deliberate lies (with appropriate warning points).
However, you should know by now that I will ask for evidence to support the veracity of your claims. Oh no, it's that pesky 'e' word that has made you fill your diaper in our previous discussions!
Note your own words here. Once more, we test your integrity. You will be held to
your own professed standards of behaviour, as written here. If it is good enough for you to demand evidence for my claims, then you will have no problem supplying evidence for your claims.
I await your demonstration or your apology. I expect you will again demonstrate that you have no integrity, but we will see.
Why are you referring someone to a mental health practitioner when you aren't qualified to identify or diagnose mental illness?
I might refer somebody to such a practitioner because mental health practitioners
are qualified to identify and diagnose mental illness. I'm not sure whether an anger problem is properly classified as a mental illness. You seem to think it is. If so, it's nothing to be ashamed about. But if this is an issue for you, then it is important that you get appropriate help, for your own sake and for others who you might end up hurting.
Is the topic of mental illness nothing more than a barb you can use against those whom have bruised your ego?
No need to get defensive. Lots of people have mental health issues. You needn't feel ashamed or insulted.
