Aww, you're trying "deep and insightful"? with all the expertise of your attempt at science...

 

[jaF0]

There are H2O types of people in the world.

Those who understand water.

Arpies.

 

[HisArpy]

You're not fooling anyone, Tim. You're a moron that thinks he's smart. And when you're shown to be a moron, you're completely incapable of letting it go. Smacks of insecurity.

ARCHIE, you're so easy, it's pathetic.


I'm a lawyer and have been a judge in a courtroom. I build custom furniture and repair complex clock and watch mechanisms by fabricating the pieces needed to make them function again. I can fly an airplane and sail a boat across the ocean. I am a gunsmith, an artist and an author. I have raised and trained horses. I practice Tai Chi daily. I have stood upon lonely mountains and shouted just to hear the echoes. I have hunted for my own food, harvesting it by taking a life when necessary. I read, discuss what I read, and learn from the discussions as well as the doing of things I've never attempted before.

These are just a few of the things I've done in my 62 years.

Meanwhile, there's you and the rest of the dumfuks on this board who have never accomplished anything other than being yourselves. To everyone's everlasting chagrin.

For your sake, I hope that's not true.

Mine understands that there's more to water than i fully understand,
And yours thinks hydrogen is carbon based, and probably requires velcro fastening shoes.

Pity you didn't find the time to take a high school science class.

Ever.

Hey, don't be dissin' my shoes. They're comfy and it sucks when your back hurts.

 

[juttjaw]

Why do some people find it so hard to admit when they're wrong, or when they don't know much about a subject? Genuine question. It must be the death of many relationships.

Because, they are terrified if they admit they're wrong people will think what they think about themselves. They are incredibly insecure and probably have had some traumatic experiences with an overbearing parent or adult figure some where in their past. Maybe childhood or early adolescence.

Just a guess though.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

BTW, there are indeed 3 types of people in the world.

• Those who reach for the stars
• Those who keep their heads down
• And those who sided with the "learned theologians" who vilified Galileo as a heretic for saying that the planets revolve around the sun.

That 3rd group all thought they were "smart" too. Yet, in the end who got the last laugh?

Poor derpy.

Galileo Galilei wasn’t vilified or called a heretic for his heliocentric theories. He wasn’t even the first to come up with, or publish them. Copernicus published his theories about the planets circling the sun 3/4 of a century before Galileo, as just one example.

The church (for obvious reasons), was very much invested in the geocentric theory, that the universe revolves around the earth, but didn’t have much of a problem with Galileo’s, or other learned fella’s theories. In fact, at the time there was a pretty good relationship between the church and the science and math smarties of the time.

What got Galileo in hot water with the church, and in particular with prime pontiff, the Pope, was not his teachings or theories about the planets and workings of the universe, but something he said about the church needing to get their interpreters to re-interpret parts of the bible that didn’t match with his scientific findings. Galileo spends the rest of his life under house arrest because the church didn’t like being told how to do their job.

The church eventually apologized to Galileo, and admitted they were wrong in their condemnation and treatment of Galileo. In 1992.
John Paul the 2nd even went so far as to say - and I am totally paraphrasing here - that although there are no errors in scripture, those interpreting scripture can make errors, and they should endeavour to consider scientific knowledge when interpreting scripture.

Interesting that the one person accusing everyone else of claiming they're so smart is the only one listing their claims to smartness. There's at least one science degree posting in this thread, but the person owning it hasn't mentioned their proof of smartness on the subject once.

Hell, my first post on water was that i know just enough to know that I don't really know water.

Jutjaw hit the nail on the head.

 

[dolf]

Fucker doesn't understand water.

What's not to understand? It's just 2 molecules of a volatile carbon based organic bonded with an oxydizer and maintained at a temperature which keeps it in a liquid state.

Or don't you know that?

Few people do. It's very unusual amongst liquids!

It's one of those things that everyone thinks they understand, because they're surrounded with it and have high school science, but if you learn just a little more you'll realise you barely know it at all.

You could almost use it as a metaphor...

Recap!

Only two people made public their knowledge of water.

One... arrogant and condescending, despite knowing less than nothing, and ignorant enough to assume he knows everything worth knowing.

And yet now he's bleating that we all claim we're oh so smart...

 

[dolf]

Also, this is incredibly cool!

The universe's smallest atom, captured on quantum camera.
Because this thread needed something amazingly smart as an antidote for the astoundingly dim.

You keep circling back to that meme. It is because that's all you are? Shallow?

1. People who are not too smart or intelligent.
   
2. People who are smart and intelligent.
   
3. People who think they are smarter than they actually are, people who do not possess the ability to recognize their staggering incompetence. See Dunning-Kruger Effect, or the majority of HisArpy posts.

To be fair, bragging that you're smarter than Tim is like bragging you're better looking than Joseph Merrick.

Unless you're a queer who's fucking interested in erotic literature written by a male? It's clear some write incognito as a woman and it's so patently obvious; Jane Marwood for example is as female as John Wayne as females simply don't think like that

Try and keep up, cunt. This thread isn't about Tim's stroke stories any more.

Ah, sorry mate. How's your love life btw?
