So, everyone is stupid ... No. People who are consistently abusive, relying on personal attacks as their primary (or only) method of debate, are usually stupid. They are this way online because their inhibitions are partially lost; in real life they are more circumspect but this aspect of their personalities nevertheless remains and will manifest under stress. Stupidity seems to engender mean behavior, or perhaps stupidity deprives people of ways to overcome or evolve beyond such behavior. Mean people are vexations to the spirit. I try to avoid them. Stupid people can be trying but are not in themselves obnoxious, unless they are also mean. As long as I CAN STILL FLY AIRPLANES IN REAL LIFE AND NOT IN MY MOM'S BASEMENT. I hope your next medical goes well. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

You watch children in the playgrounds much, do you? Rarely. But when I have, it reminded me of USENET. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

All you've got to do is stop being so contradictory about crap you don't know about. Stop thinking that your "research and study" has anything to do with real life when compared to a simulator because you choose to not deal with the real life situations. If you've got some horrible condition that precludes you from getting a medical, I feel totally bad for you. That would suck. Otherwise, get the hell out there and do it. It'll cost you less than $70 to get up with a CFI on an intro flight. From there, you can do once a month lessons, you don't have to be out twice a week or whatever, whatever your budget allows is better than nothing. It's certainly better than a flight simulator, better than a Flight Training Device. In some circumstances, it's better than sex (you'll have to take my word on that). |

![]() "Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... Erik writes: Just because it annoys you that people find you obnoxious does not make them stupid, those are terms a child would use. Well, (1) it doesn't annoy me; and (2) the correlation is very strong, based on empirical data I've collected over the years. Stupid people are driven by their emotions rather than their intellects, because the former are much stronger than the latter. This leads them to react emotionally and behave emotionally when stressed, as in defense mechanisms. Intelligent people are driven mostly by intellect and don't respond in emotional ways. There are other reasons why stupid people find me obnoxious, but they are too numerous to mention here. Well if you are such a guru on human behavior, why can't you seem to cope? |

![]() "Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... writes: That appears to be contradicted by the responses you get in this group. Not at all. The most abusive responses consistently come from the people who appear to be the least intelligent. As I've said, this is a very consistent principle of behavior that can be observed reliably in all sorts of venues. It's like watching children argue on the playground. So why do you try so desperately to intellectually attack those that disagree with you? By your own statements, you just declare your own stupidity. |
