interesting that you say most men just aren't
intellectual...whereas that seems to be quite contradictory from my
experiences.
I hear you. **Nods**
And I will be waiting until I do meet some of them. I've been more open to them in all honesty and I'm meeting
more colleagues of higher intellects regardless of their gender. Jinpun, you are right on the money - it's the
atmosphere that matters most. Here at my uni. in Japan - totally different mindset. I'm feeling more comfortable
being around the guys than I normally would have been, I don't know why. I should come to your place more often
then. lol

sorry you feel so poorly about men celessa.
Hmmm... In all due respects, I think the men in general
around my previous uni. are a little too overbearing. If you've been there - you could think at least the same,
just for a while. It's kind of a little ridiculous, but I got used to it in a sense. **Shrugs** I was happy that I
moved on though.
I'm glad you understand and I'm not singling anyone out. If you've been in my shoes, you would know how I
feel - I just wanted to express my opinion here and people really are trying hard to convince me that this isn't
true in a sense, and I commend their efforts. Mordin is doing his best to help me and I thank people like him for making
me feel comfortable even around my own beliefs. If it wasn't for people like shinsengumi, Mordin, and miketo, I
would have thought otherwise, somewhat. It's people like them that make helps me patch this through.
Thanks Mordin and Alisha for backing me up. I never meant to hurt anyone but the threadmaker did say she wanted an
opinion, and I just gave one without the intent of hurting anyone directly. I am who I am. I'm not going to be
dishonest to myself and say to the public - wow - all the guys are cool here! Now everyone stays happy! That would mean
I would be playing a fake, and I've been known to give some honest comments around here. But that does not mean
I'm attacking them. If they disagree otherwise, I'd hear them out and learn their points why they disagree
with me. If their reasons seems suitable enough, I'll gladly oblige.
Even the threadmaker gave a funny remark about my post and she didn't mind what I said at all.
If you've commented in a more civilized manner like Chopstickz would have, I would have re-edited my post in their
respects. Looking back at the thread right now - I will edit out my post Chopstickz - I don't want to remind you of
the bad times. My apologizes lol - Oh - haven't seen you in a while though. I hope to see you in the shoutbox! We
need you! ROFL
And true Chopstickz, it was being aimed at the "crappy" part of the male population, in your own words here.
I'm not singling out the good guys. Nice guys rule indeed! **Thumbs up**
To the complainer - You see, if you kept it more civilized and PM'd me that you had an issue about my own opinion
and find it offensive, I would have been able to settle this out with you and none of this one-sided bickering would
have taken place - and I would have gladly edited my points for your sakes. Maybe if you made a reasonable, conservative
point in private about why you feel it is so offensive - rather than approach it in a negative way and storm in,
dragging others behind with it in public, I would have settled the score, but seeing that you want to drag on a fight
that I see no worth in, I don't know why to uprise the unsetting nature.
I just wanted to state out an honest point. Whether you agree or not is up to you - fine, but not in a way where you
should attack people directly and the sorts.
If you've ever been on a healthy debate before, you should realize that discussions are more open when people
listen to what others have to say, respect their own opinions being placed on the table in a sense, and commenting back
an argument in a polite and gentle manner that can open up a very interesting and key discussion over here.
The whole point is that in a big forum like this one, people should at least respect it in a sort of manner where you
hear what the other person has to say and agree or disagree upon it in a former sort of way, rather than start screaming
it out on the top of your lungs. At least do take into respects by at least accepting one's opinion rather than
shutting it out by some force of yours. If everyone was like that, complaints like these one would typically lead
nowhere actually and no progression would be made at all.
It's funny because in my school, I've never really met a person who disagreed in my opinion, pinned me down,
and told me to shut it like that before. Everyone has been rather open and honest about it - and they've been
telling me their convincing ideas as well. Some agree, some disagree. I've been there before, but not to the point
where they hold a grudge simply because my views aren't in sync with theirs. I've been rather open in
discussions which would explain why it seems so down-right easy at times - and I don't narrow down everything to a
you-automatically-win situation. I hate to see people like that, really. It's just an opinion, so lighten up.
lol
Besides, I'm highly likely to admit that I don't like male jerks being around me, naturally. Nothing wrong
there. But that does not mean I am attacking all men in general. Heck no. There's always been exceptions in that
case. Okay - dropping the subject now. I apologize to the threadmaker for bringing this mess, really. I find no
intention to harm anyone, and it's a shame that it had to go that far. Keep it civil, and peace. lol
