A long time ago I decided I should start using my emotions more and less of my brain.
Now people like me more and I like myself more.
Maybe you should reconsider your notion that when people drink & smoke, they're doing it to be stupid and fit in.
I legitimately enjoy both (though I've quit cigs for the most part). It's worth it to sacrifice a little bit of my health in order to live my life doing things that I like.
And if you don't like it, then people should respect that, just as you should respect them.
I guess it's pretty simple.

An Intelligent person would actually ask themselfs if smoking really is a direct cause of lung cancer.
and you should also consider the logic behind this argument... or rather the lack of.
-If you smoke then you get lung cancer.
-Not everyone who smokes get's lung cancer
Strawman argument.[/quote]Yes, there's tons of chemicals that screw your body up, and even if it doesn't cause Cancer, you're still getting screwed.
[quote]
Again, Logic. You generalize all the people that drink based on your friends.
A converse accident fallacy.
Second, when people drink they [B]generally[/B] feel less shy and thus can make more relationships faster.[/quote] Yes, this is true. And why I said I don't need to drink to fit in. I don't want to be in a relationship that was made while I was someone else. Take the mask off and be yourself, it's not that hard.
[quote]
Again, you should investigate your claims a bit further. The fact that weed is illegal and cigarettes aren't should make you a bit skeptical about your claims[/quote] It's being legalized more and more every second.
[quote]
I am not going to call you stupid. Maybe you are a smart kid. I don't know. But I doubt you know the people you refer as stupid well enough to make such claims about them.
Intelligence comes in many ways. Creativity, memory, spacial ability, etc. Many of which you won't notice by watching them get drunk.[/quote] Yes, I think calling them stupid was a bad idea.. It's more like people lack... Knowledge, or common sense now. Surely you've noticed it.

It started with Hollywood. The bad guys always smoke. Maybe even Jazz clubs being famous for their thick smoke fog.[/quote]Great.. What good role models. Lets drive cars off cliffs too, because that always looks awesome.
[quote]
Again, strawman. They are also many other causes for lung cancer.[/quote] So just because of that, we should not worry about increasing the chances of it?
[quote]
Wanting to fit in is something normal. But fitting in doesn't mean you are the same as everyone else. Everyone has their own personality.
I do undertand that people like joining the bandwagon. But sometimes doing so makes the whole thing much more fun.
[B]Example:[/B]
4 people in a group want to play soccer. Then the rest of the group joins the bandwagon and they all play soccer.
Much more fun than half a team playing soccer and half a team playing basketball or something.[/quote] Bad analogy. There's a difference in having fun with your friends by doing something healthy. Smokers have less energy, than if they did not. This is fact. So why would I do something that will make me less sufficient than if I did not, just to fit in?
[quote]
You underestimate your mates. Under the right circumstances you will be surprised by their maturity. In most cases.[/quote] On some people, but I'm talking typical school buddies that act on emotions. As-in "He said what? Lets go beat him up and not even think about the negatives to doing so." I used to fight in school, yes. But that was before I changed into who I am now (you read the OP, so I shouldn't have to explain it).
[quote]
I agree. I don't like people that think you are so weak and can't take the blunt truth that in some cases doesn't even bother you. But if they think you have heart problems then it's ok i guess.[/quote] Yeah. Fair enough.
[quote]
Emotions are what make us feel alive. Controlling emotions is very difficult if not impossible.
If someone loved dies you aren't going to be happy no matter how good you control your emotions.
The only way you could control them is by forgetting them.[/quote] If someone dies, it's fine to cry. I'm still talking about people who let emotions control their lives, and act on them without thinking. In general, I don't like overly emotional people (when you calm down, you will make more logical decisions). Yet I'm still sympathetic for people.
[quote]
Consiousness is a chemical. All your memories are chemicals.
You underestimate chemicals.
I doubt you have felt real love. Love has made people make great stuff. An example is the Taj majal.
I have been in love many times and i have done some crazy stuff as a cause of it.
[/quote] Yes, but I don't let all my chemicals control me. I have memories of drowning twice, but I still swim. I have memories of lots of stuff. But I don't do stupid things because of them. And this applies with love, you should always keep your emotions in check, and think about what you're doing.
[quote]
Now you contradict yourself.
Love is chemicals but family love isin't. This makes no sense, which further proves my last point.[/quote] No, all love is a chemical. But your family (if you have a good family) will ALWAYS be there for you. Regardless of what happens. Which means you should put your best effort into it. A relationship will come and go, that's just how it works. Divorce rates are through the roof, and prove this point. This is why I said love will fade eventually. Your family won't cheat on you, and crush you. Not saying your relationship will, but it's possible. And then the spiraling depression for those who don't keep emotions in check. I've never actually been hurt though, from a relationship. As I've never been in "love."
[quote]
Relationships are based on emotions. You are with someone because they make you happy. You don't need to control your emotions in a relationship. You need to express them. [/quote] Yeah, they love when you scream at them, and hit them because you suck with emotions. [quote]
Your girlfriend telling you she loves you is something great. On the other hand, your pesimistic attitude that love will go away is not great for a relationship.
You need to give 100% and have faith in you two as a couple and maybe your relationship will last for many years.
In my opinion, it's worth trying even if you fail many times.[/quote] Why? Some of the smartest people in the world were single, and without love. Relationships tend to be a distraction from accomplishing something great with your life. People focus so much on "love" that they don't do anything to better themselves.
[quote]
You should consider the fact that everyone is different. Even if they all wear the same clothes and listen to the same music deep inside they are different and with time you will notice.
Secondly, being the same doesn't mean they are dumb. A high IQ congregation, or though being the same in many ways, technically they aren't dumb.[/quote] No, but falling in line with everyone just to fit in, is dumb.
[quote]
Maybe lots of other people are doing the same as you. Maybe you just don't know them well enough.[/quote] Who knows. That'd be pretty cool though. But I don't think anyone actually understands how I feel except a couple of people.
[quote]
Contradiction and nazi like attitude.
Previously you say how good it is to be yourself because it's dumb to be like everyone else and now you want everyone to be like you.
Wouldn't that make us all dumb? This makes no sense and the fact you think the whole world should follow a certain ideology (yours) is scary if not an insult to humanity.
[/quote] No, I want people to think more like me, so we can progress past being so materialistic. I'm tired of seeing school kids doing stupid things without even considering their future, and then ruining their whole lives because of it.
[quote]
You have proven yourself wrong with your previous statement. You have a lot of egocentristm, which translates to self centered.[/quote] Not really, I don't think I'm better than anyone. I just think I have better logic than most people.

In my opinion you aren't mature. A mature person doubts their own thoughts seriously at least once and certainly doesn't call the people around them stupid unless they know how they react in every situation possible.[/quote] Doubt leads to disbelief and I believe in myself 100%. Regardless of you agreeing or not, materialism is stupid, and makes people less intelligent than they should be.
Most (not everyone) people react with their emotions, and think about the negatives later. This is the problem.
[quote]
Certainly. Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and Stalin where all like you.[/QUOTE]And look at the marks they left on history.
No, I'm joking. But you really shouldn't compare my thoughts to theirs, as you don't truly understand me. I have no intentions to change the world, or kill anyone, or even confront anyone about it.
[QUOTE=agun;19992689]In my opinion you aren't mature. A mature person doubts their own thoughts seriously at least once and certainly doesn't call the people around them stupid unless they know how they react in every situation possible.[/QUOTE]
Doubting your own thoughts isn't good. I doubt almost ALL of the decisions and thoughts I make (I mean if they're in relation to something where I start to question if deep down I have different motives than I think I do, obviously I don't doubt something like, "that's red," or, "20 times 10 is 200," that'd be stupid). It's NOT fun. If can't trust myself to even THINK right how am I supposed to trust anyone else in any way at all?
Fuck doubt. I'd rather be confident in my thoughts. The whole doubt thing leads to a positive feedback loop (in a negative way). Doubt leads to negative emotions in general which then leads to more doubt.

I didn't mean FP's respect/approval. I meant real people.
So people say, "what does that word mean, that sounds stupid" when you talk to them? Honestly, I don't think someone would admit that they have no idea what you're talking about. What do they say to you that makes you want to dumb down to get them to understand?
Don't talk to people when they're drunk/stay away from them when they smoke. Hang out at the mall or something where smoking/drinking isn't allowed. Perfect place to hang out with people when they're sober. If they choose to go to a party or go off and drink somewhere afterwards, just go on home.
You might as well just be friends with your girlfriend then, no? As you said, you don't see the benefits of a relationship. It would make sense to just be really good friends with her. I just think that it's a bit messed up that she believes that you feel the same as she does, which isn't the case. I dunno. It's your life, but if I knew that girl and I knew how you felt, I would tell her right away to save her from heartache in the future. Because that's really all your relationship can lead to with your mindset. You have to consider what she wants.

There smoking does effect me. And when they're drunk, they have a mask, and I dislike talking to fake people. And how many times must I say, I've never tried to change anyone. This is how I feel on the inside, and only FP knows it.

Saying:
There are 2 kinds of people who always speak the truth: Little children and drunk people.
This is of course not true but I must agree that people are way more themselves when they are drunk (semi drunk) people are nothing when they are fully drunk.
Alcohol increases your confidence and changes your vieuw of the world.
This gets even better with weed.
Weed can make you talk out your deepest feelings with relative ease. And if the persons you are talking to are also stoned they will understand this way more easily then they normally would.
[QUOTE=Bloodshed16;19994141]
Lol, true enough. But do you actually consider yourself different? The problem is that you think just because you try to be different, no one else actually is.[/QUOTE]
I consider myself differrent then most people I see, not dofferent then most people I know.
Once you get to know people you see that evryone is different.
[QUOTE=Pascall;19994260]I didn't mean FP's respect/approval. I meant real people.
So people say, "what does that word mean, that sounds stupid" when you talk to them? Honestly, I don't think someone would admit that they have no idea what you're talking about. What do they say to you that makes you want to dumb down to get them to understand? [/QUOTE] If people can't respect me for being different, then why should I care what they think? I don't need close minded people to respect me.
Eh, mostly computer related stuff, gaming etc. The problem is that I live in a place with lots of stupid people, so you either get to be stupid, or stupidererer.

That's..not what I meant. You can be different, but be modest about it. You should be modest about anything, because if you put yourself above others in any way shape or form, people won't like it. Even those who appreciate differences in individuals. I was always about being different back in high school. I wanted to be unique. But now, I just want to be me. And sometimes, yes, I do feel like there are plenty of people out there who are well below me in the "common sense", or "intelligence scale", but I'm not going to say it out loud. I prefer to keep silent and be happy that I'm not that person. I don't feel the need to tell anyone. That opinion is best kept to yourself. It's just.. well.. common sense.

That doesn't make sense. If you want to find people to discuss gaming with, find other gamers. Go to a local cyber cafe (I'm sure that unless you live in a one horse town, there should be one somewhere) or something to that degree. Or, get a job at a computer/electronics business where your fellow employees know what you're talking about. You have to LOOK for these people. You can't just say "oh these people have no idea what I'm talking about. I guess there's no chance of finding anyone who relates to me". Now, that's just being lazy. Gotta search for the right people to hang out with. It takes effort and if you put forth none, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Why don't you invite people to stay the night at your place and say that there's no drugs/alcohol allowed? I do that a lot. I have tons of clean parties like this and no one complains. As long as there's food, games, and friends, it's all fun. There's always ways to avoid their choices. YOU take the initiative to hang out. If they are truly friends, they'll respect what you want. If you have parties/hang out at your house, they respect your rules. If they don't, you can kick 'em out. This is how I live. My friends are wild, but whenever I have parties, they know that there won't be anything there that shouldn't be. Regardless of that fact, we still have loads of fun. Especially if there is food and sugary drinks involved.

Not really true. Depends on the girl though. Lots of people are still friends with an ex who didn't really work out.
