Not reading all of your shit.
as usual.;
as usual.;
TLDR
Your're the new Greg, change my mind
So let me ask you Jimmynumbers......
Have you learned anything you deem constructive from the people who've replied to your threads?
My guess is no. You seem like a thick-headed simpleton who only wants to lecture and not listen.
Nailed it.
What jimmyblahblah doesn't understand (amongst most things) is that HE won't change people's minds because he doesn't understand the majority of the things he's arguing about as well as he thinks but he's to young and impetuous to understand that.
This is the shit I hate, if I "don't understand" you should be able to easily put my in my place and tell me WHY I'm wrong, not just that I'm wrong. The only thing you and every other member who posts a quick insult and think of it as a refutation to my OP prove is how stupid you really are. I've made my case, now others should make theirs. Not being willing to entertain opposing points of view (such as mine) and consider the pros and cons of that way of thinking shows how closed minded normal people are.
They never question how they think or what they do, they are just convinced that they already know everything and don't need to question themselves. I'm not convinced that I know better than everyone else, but I do like to argue and discuss differing ways of seeing things, and most of my opinions on things aren't in line with the majority of people/techs, so they tend to rile people up, but I'm not doing it intentionally.
I question myself all the time so I can continue to learn and grow as a person and as a tech. Some of you motherfuckers seem pretty stunted to me![]()
I don't argue to change the person I'm arguing with's mind, I argue so the silent person listening or reading the conversation can know they are not alone in thinking a certain way.
finally went back and read your OP.
what's your point again? of course discussion changes peoples mind. it is our #1 method of influence over others. yes, greater than war.
pen is mightier than the sword
history that isn't recorded doesn't exist
oral history is less influential than written history
all those things.
I've gotten the "you're not changing anyone's mind by discussing this, you're just wasting your time" reply from many people on various forums over the years, and I've always thought it was BS. They were basically saying that discussing differing viewpoints had no value at all. I don't set out to change anyone's mind by posting my threads, I seek to put my ideas out there and get feedback from others on how they feel about my ideas. And maybe they or I can come away a little bit wiser than when we started. I know I have learned something from damn near every thread I've ever posted. Might not be much, but each one has taught me some sort of lesson.
maybe the answer you are looking for is "toughen up, nancy"
hell i get told i'm wasting my time in damn near every thread i participate in, yet i used to have 40k+ posts on this boardwell above anybody else.
of course it is BS.
True. Obviously from my posts you can tell I like to argue and if someone says something I think is bullshit I like to call them out on it. I don't know what's a bigger waste of time, them telling me it's a waste of time, or them wasting THEIR time to tell me I'm wasting mine
Don't think I've ever replied that someone was wasting their time, if I felt that way, I just didn't post in their thread LOL

Discussion with people here that are smarter then myself (mostly everyone) has changed my mind or opinion on a lot of things.
And as far as your threads, everyone here understands and maybe even agrees with the bassis of the point you are trying to get across.
What you dont understand is most of points you are making are baby steps 2 & 3 of volume 1 while your audience is on step 34 of volume 11.
Nailed it.

Please Read This A Few Times
I'm not sure why I keep trying.

no one here is disagreeing with 99% of what you write. That is why people are just hurling poo your direction and not arguing anything.
What you are doing is walking into a college level advanced physics class (I have no idea what's taught in physics) and continually screaming "2+2 = 4".
a couple people are being nice and saying yeah we know, and everyone else is bored and using it as an opportunity to talk shit.. you leave for a few hours and then come back saying "2+2=4 prove me wrong instead of hurling simple minded insults" and everybody face palms and starts thinking of creative ways you could face fuck a wood chipper. I guess what I'm getting at is the discussions you want to have are so basic (2+2=4) that they dont need to be had.
This site would serve you much better if you use it as a source of information rather then a way to project your vast knowledge over everyone else.
99% of us dont give a fuck what goes on in an auto shop but look at how many threads are "help me diagnose this ball tickling vibration in my ls powered corvair" . Maybe those are the threads to pop in to tand if you have a suggestion throw it in the mix.
Jimmy#s reminds me of actionfag. Dude truly believes that he’s better at and has the answer for everything, yet he’s truly never accomplished anything.
