You are being paranoid, Bells.
Am I? You're saying it doesn't happen? My point TS is that this is the internet. We are all faceless unknowns to you. You are judging others as to whether they'd jerk off at the photo of your child or not based on how they type, how you perceive what they say in threads and how nice they are to you in these threads?

I know you are a pedophile because pedophiles are not the kind of people that are usually wise. I see that you are wise. Since nobody can pretend to be wise, I know that you are very unlikely a pedophile- or for that matter, a "bad" person in any way.
I'm guessing you meant to put a "not" in there somewhere? And you don't think anyone can pretend to be wise and nice?

Not to offend anyone else either, but you do have a point. I could be a nameless, tricky pedophile, Truthseeker. But, for what it's worth, I am not. I may be worse things, if you have read certain of my other posts here in this forum, but I am not a pedophile.
I'm not saying that you are either. What I am saying is that it's always best to err on the side of caution. I'm not ashamed to be paranoid about this. I view this in the same light as posting all my personal details, such as full name, address, telephone numbers, etc on an internet forum. I simply wouldn't do it. There are a lot of weirdos out there and sometimes a level of paranoia is good when one considers who has access to the internet nowdays.

Also, I don't know if you really have to meet someone in person to know if you can trust them. I think that even when you meet someone in person, face to face, you may never really know 100% if you can trust them. It's always your choice as to whether you can trust someone or not, and this choice is always based on less than 100% of the facts. Trust is a hard thing for some to give or to receive. Everything is relative.
I totally agree. When I said "meet someone" before, I meant know them.. as in people you actually know and have known for a long time. It's hard to trust anybody now days and you are right, we don't know who to trust. But I'd rather trust my family who I've known all my life and my friends who I've known for most of my life. I don't trust people easily and I trust people on the internet even less because even though we communicate on a forum or some post their photo's on the site, etc, the people on this or any other forum are still nameless unknowns, about who I know nothing at all and can verify nothing from what they've said about themselves.

Yes, I think you meant to say "I know you are [not] a pedophile.....". I hope you do listen to Bells though. You never know for sure.

I hope that I come across as "wise" though, of course. I think all of us here do. There are many wise people here at sciforums I think. Believe it or not, I think Invert_Nexus is wise, and Water/Kotoko :p , and Gendanken, and James R, and Cris and definitely Bells, among many others that I am too drunk to member right now. That is why I find it so frustrating to see some of them treating you so harshly. I would rather see you be given guidance instead.

This does not mean that all of them, or us, do not have faults though. For instance, have you read here where I said that I have tortured and killed cats from 7th grade (age 12) to 2001 (age 31), four years ago? Four cats that I remember for sure. Maybe more. This "thing" about me has almost been my undoing. It's true. It is horrible, and I know this perhaps better than anyone. Trust me. It's horrible. If anyone wants to know more, just say the word. I will always need to purge this part of me, I think.

What I have done in my life is horrible. The issue with cats, though, I think, is the most horrible of all, though there are a couple of other things that could be said to be just as, or more, horrible. It is all relative, like I've said so many times before. But now, with regards to so many things, I think it is up to you to make your own choices. This is now your call. Do you still think I am "wise?"

P.S. "If a pig had a better personality, he'd cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?" :)

That's not how I do it.

You can't pretend to have wisdom- you either have it or you don't. It's easy to pretend to be nice- so I don't buy into that.

Well, the first three I don't really agree. The rest... yeah..

I don't need guidance from them.

Yes. You recognize your limitations and your mistakes, and sounds like you are working on yourself. You don't think that is wise?

P.S. "If a pig had a better personality, he'd cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?" :)
I suppose the answer depends on whether the question is a metaphor or not. ;)

Okay, I understand.

I think it depends on why I am working on myself. If I am working on myself solely for others and to improve what they think of me, then maybe not. You know, something like vanity. If I'm doing it because I don't want to feel the pain that comes from doing it (mental anguish during and after the deed), then I may be just being selfish. What do you think is a good reason to quit doing it? Is there a best reason? :)

Nah, it's a quote from a movie. Know which one, and who said it?

Well, becoming wise invariably benefits everyone...

No

Alright, then, does anyone out there know which movie this quote comes from and who said it? :cool:

I have heard it before, but I don't remeber where. Anyway...

Every person has some degree of wisdom, it just may be hard to see. People that are insulting or otherwise stupid are just not giving in to the wisest thing to do in favor of doing what they want. It takes some element of wisdom to do that as well. If we had no wisdom we would be unable to act, so in that inaction of not making a choice is where we show no wisdom. Although, as someone once said, not making a choice is a choice too. Okay, enough deep thought. How is everything coming along TS?
 
Zed's dead baby!! :D

OK, OK my turn:

"we give them our chiva, our coca, our sensimia, we take their money and a li'll bit of their souls"

this one may quite hard, it's a TV film but stars a young actor who went on to star in IMO one of the best hollywood films of the mid 90's,

here's a couple of quote's from that film:

"Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala, we used to make fresh coffee, right off the trees I mean. That was good. This is shit but, hey, I'm in a police station."


"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exsist"

damn, I think you got me. I just saw the second one too, I think, but I can't remember for sure. Something about it sure does ring some bells though. Give me another hint? Please? :D
 
ok. Well I won't give anymore clues to the 2nd film, as the quotes alone should be enough, but I'll give you some clues regarding the TV film:

(1)2 of the main actors who star in this film also star in a Hollywood film directed by Steven Soderberg.
(2)both the above films deal with the same basic subject matter.

OK so actually, now you have to name 3 films:

1) the TV film from which I gave the first quote.
2) the 2nd film which I gave 2 quotes from as a clue
3) the steven soderberg film.

all 3 films are linked by one great actor.
 
I know you are a pedophile because pedophiles are not the kind of people that are usually wise. I see that you are wise. Since nobody can pretend to be wise, I know that you are very unlikely a pedophile- or for that matter, a "bad" person in any way.

Oh yeah?
What about Socrates, bright boy?
 
ah shit. I'm too tired to think. sorry, still nothing. I'm going to sleep, and I'll think more about it when I get up. morning to ya. :)

respect is due. :)

find the actor that links all 3, and check his filmography (it should be on there)
