Here we go again, someone else misinterupting what I'm saying. I'm not special, I've never felt special, I never will feel special and never said I was special.
No you're just "different from all the other women" I know you've gotten a lot of "marry me" comments but even if that was your intention or not, don't think this makes you superior even to basic bitches.
I don't think I'm superior, I never said I was. You don't even know me, how can you read one take I wrote and think you have the right to comment on how I see myself and what kind of person I am? Since you and most of the other girls on here (aside from a few) are coming at me with all the weapons in your cut me down arsenal, let me ask you one very important question. Do you really even have ONE ounce of a clue what my internal dialogue is? Do you even know how I REALLY feel about myself? What I see when I look in the mirror, do you even know?
By the way, I said "different from other women" not all the women. Way to twist my words though.
I don't really care what you think when you look in the mirror, I don't make a deep analysis of the writer every time I reply to something. I read "Im a special snowflake and here's why" so that is what I based my answer on.
You're right nobody does care, that's why they say things they don't even know are true. You'll also right about the fact that you read it the way you wanted it to be, but that's not the way that it was.
@ThisDudeHere I don't know how I came here tbh. I checked the date and realised that it's so old. But then I realised one more thing... "- Share your Opinion on a myTake +1 Xper" :P I read it tho, because I liked the way she pissed a lot of girls off. She wasn't even offensive or targeting something.
So you're basically like a lot of women? Except from the hair and having mostly guy friends im Just like you. It does not make you or me, for that matter, any special. . Hate to burst your bubble
@Belliebella she is different from most other women. Most women do feel entitled, defend other women for being women, etc. You, her, and some other women like my girlfriend are different. Most of the time women who have mostly guy friends are the nicest women.
You took a list of stereotypes, declared you yourself are exempt, and that this makes you special. In turn you're also saying that women must be these things (else you'd be like all the others) which makes them gossiping, vain, and stupidly defensive.
That's just not nice.
Ironically by pointing out the flaws you see in others and how you doing see them in yourself you... Nevermind.
One more time, I don't think I'm special and I didn't write this to tell people how special I think I am because I don't think I am. I also said I wasn't stereotyping (I believe it was in my disclaimer), I was just simply saying I can't relate to those things because that's not me or what I do. And, I don't consider women her get their nails done or like fashion trends to be flawed, that's just there interest and I was just saying it's not mine. Hence why I feel different because I can't relate or connect to things that most people bond over, I just don't fit and I don't belong and that's what I meant when I said I was different.
For the record, being an extremely flawed individual with many things I need to work on and work through. I would never look or pick apart other peoples flaws, when I'm very flawed myself.
Are you ignoring the other things she said she didn't do that other woman did that were perfectly fine? She balanced them out. Some were bad (gossiping, which a lot of woman DO do) and some were perfectly fine (shopping, girls night out)
@MegBee21 In my experience on this planet I have learned two distinct things:
1. Stereotypical notions tend to play to the loudest and most annoying behaviors. It's not that a lot of any group does them but instead that the behavior just gets attached to the group. Many women I know don't gossip anywhere near a level where it's truly upsetting or even interesting and a lot of women hate it.
2. Any time someone suggests that they don't do something and it sets them aside they sound dumb. Millions upon millions of people don't get their hair did, their nails did, their toes did, don't gossip, aren't even thinking about entitlement, and don't "band together under the flag of vaginal ownership". This is nonsense and if this is believed to set one aside rather than genuine accomplishments such as "I am the first woman to ______" then the woman who speaks and thinks this way is petty just as the man would be who acted the same.
Individuality is won through action not observation.
@MegBee21 No. Individuality and Identity aren't always there. That's the whole point of growing up; you learn more about yourself and also learn what you want to do and where you want to fit in the giant puzzle that is human society.
She isn't very different from many people. She is different from what she believes is many people. These are not the same thing; it is always an error to presume that because you do, or do not do, something that is mundane and common that you are at any point different.
Now if she said "I don't shower" ... She might be on to something. As for taking up space she didn't list anything that actually was impressive such as "I am the head of my Chemistry Tutoring team". Because she's not. Because she's average.
As you age, you get more different, but you are an individual, with different thoughts and etc the moment your born. You are always different.
Like I said, she is obviously different in many other ways too.
Point is, a lot of woman don't do the same things as above, and she would be average if those are the ONLY things that made her different. But there are many other things she could have listed-but did not, because there would be too many- that she didn't. And just because she didn't include them that doesn't mean they don't exist
@MegBee21 Point is, a lot of woman don't do the same things as above, and she would be average if those are the ONLY things that made her different. But there are many other things she could have listed-but did not, because there would be too many- that she didn't. And just because she didn't include them that doesn't mean they don't exist
So why list things that don't make her that different at all then? Why not focus on these "implicit elements" that make her a truly unique individual? You've too much faith in something you cannot prove. Idealism can be just as deadly as cyanide.
@MegBee21 But if these are the biggest things how small the other things must be. She is like many in these respects and these are her largest differences from others, or so she believes? Where are the trophies? Where are the experiences? All she does is just behave herself and not get her nails done.
What a shame to waste a life like that if that is all you've accomplished.
@MegBee21 Trophies used to be earned for great accomplishments. They were for outstanding behavior, breakthrough research, or exemplary physical prowess. A trophy is more than just a piece of metal but instead a representation of past accomplishments frozen in time.
She herself thinks that most women do these things but really they don't. The number of women who regularly get manicures and pedicures and live that lifestyle exists in magazine numbers not the general populace. It is proposed through media not confirmed in reality. The same goes for most other things in that listing. Women standing behind women because they are women is a media pop-culture blister rather than a general norm.
And that's my point. She listed things she THINKS other people do that she does not do. She did not list anything that she herself does. What good is that? I can tell you that I don't drink. Does that make me different? Because most humans don't drink alcohol contrary to popular belief.
@MegBee21 No, the trophy doesn't, but what you did to get it does. I definitely wouldn't sit around and say that I am equivalent to a world champion gold medalist in physical prowess.
Plenty do. Plenty also do not. That is the problem. It isn't rare either way.
@MegBee21 Oh, oh my, I can't beat that level of indoctrination. I assure you that there are indeed people who are better than other people and the invisible "equalizing force" doesn't exist. There really are people who are just about better at everything than some others on every tangible front. It happens. We call them "prodigies".
But now we have to incorporate things not listed meaning things that we ourselves are making up. I presume you know her in person to know what these things unlisted actually are or... ? I take people at face value. I spare myself the imaginary romps through what might be.
@MegBee21 That is completely imaginary. It has been mixed up with "no one deserves fewer basic rights", but there are people who are better than you in every way. Every single one. They are the top of the top and generally speaking high achievers don't just excel in one dimensional ways either so really great athletes tend to be really smart people, etc. Everyone deserves the same level of basic rights but that does not make us all equal except in the eyes of the law.
No, but I do know that how one speaks of themselves tends to be all there is to it. She spoke of what she didn't do, and how she thought that made her an individual, but in reality she is an amalgamation of millions of other women. She is no different from people I know in real life out of the few people I associate with regularly. If she wishes to summarize herself as this, and only this, then so be it. She speaks not of what she is but what she is not and thus her only value is found in what she doesn't do.
Someone might be better at math then me, but that doesn't make them better then me, just like I can be better at song writing then someone else, does that make me better then them? No, it doesn't.
They didn't take their whole entire being and put it in here, they took a very small part of herself and took the big parts of it here.
No one you meet is exactly like her, they may be like what you find above, but they will never be exactly like her
@MegBee21 And if someone is better at what you are good at and better at what you are bad at? What does that make them? The game of picking and choosing and Equalization is a totally different topic so I'll let it rest here and leave you to your own understanding of the world. May it never change. That is a very... nice way for the world to work.
Again, if "not getting a pedicure" is a big part of you then and you're 28 years old then...
And exactness is useless. No two spoons in your drawer are exactly alike even if from the same set when you think on a molecular level but you don't, you think "a spoon is a spoon", and they serve the same function and have the same traits. Why are humans any different? Why do we scrutinize everything down to the last hair so that we can be unique rather than striving to be different in much more major ways?
This world I live in is difficult for me. I do not know how to do anything but continue to live wondering how you manage these thoughts.
That makes them better at those things, that doesn't make them better humans though.
No, its a big part of a small part of you (think of a half of a half of a half of a half of a pie, the last half is a big piece of a small bit of it.
The difference is humans are alive, and can think. Can spoons make their own opinions? Are spoons human? And spoons are different in tiny tiny ways, whereas humans are hugely different from each other.
The world is difficult for everyone, all in different ways.
@MegBee21 And so a person who takes crap care of themselves is equivalent as a human as one who takes pristine care? That is like saying a criminal does as much for the benefit of society as a saint.
So now we are giving infinite reductions to the list. Why must we complicate this? Why does this work so as to give both some sort of boon and yet be diminished as meager at the same time in your mind's eye? A small but meaningful piece, but a meaningless piece in a picture we cannot even comprehend or hope to see?
If it were thought alone then mere nematodes would be individuals. If it were species alone then you are equivalent to one of your tragically brain dead in an accident. If it were traits alone then medicine would simply not work (since the basis of all medicine is that the body works the same way). Even you and I are not so different. How we reach our conclusions is more important than the conclusions themselves, after all.
Yes, and no, the criminal and saint do not do equal for society, however in the end, neither is better. One may act better, but neither is actually better.
Its practically impossible for her to put all of herself online, so she put a big piece of a small part of her.
Yes, I am no better then a brain dead patient, neither are you. We can both do more then the patient, but we aren't better then him.
No, our bodies work almost exactly the same way, but pur minds do not, we do not act the same way, we are all different.
Me and you are a lot different, but I am not better then you, and you aren't better then me, we are different, yet we are still equal
@MegBee21 And how do we judge who is better and who isn't? Or rather, what is the baseline? Or is it just some floating point in space where all humans that ever were and ever will be are? If that's the case humans are no better than rocks. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing...
So why is this piece so big? Why is not getting your nails done meaningful to anyone? Honestly, do you care that she doesn't get her nails done? Has that impacted your life in any way? Were you even remotely curious?
I strongly disagree there. After all a body that is human but doesn't think is pointless. Was it not you who just said thoughts are where identity comes from and makes us unique? It's just a body. It's not even alive on it's own. It should be dead. And yet you think yourself equivalent as if this body has personhood, mindless as it is. Perhaps too high is the benefit of the doubt on my part.
I'm a Christian, and when we die God judges our heart to see if we followed him
A lot of people get their nails done, and she was saying that she was one of the people who didn't. It didn't impact my life, but it's important to who she is as a person.
It does, but the becoming brain dead does t take away everything that you were
@MegBee21 Then we differ by ideology! Which I knew but figured I'd not bring up religion as perhaps there was more to it than mere philosophy. In and of itself though that is respectable; I simply disagree for other philosophical reasons.
But why is that important? A lot of people get their nails done. A lot of people don't get their nails done. At the end of the day this matters why? If this is a distinct portion of your identity... Some people like carrots. Some do not. I can't imagine my liking carrots is really important and worth telling the world.
I am a man of the "Now". What you "were" means nothing to me. A corpse on breathing machine because someone couldn't let go is still just a corpse. It will not magically spring back to life just because you've tubes running through it. If nothing else it's a desecration to their memory keeping them in a state of inability so you can sleep at night.
I tried not to bring it up because I didn't know if you wanted to discuss that too or not?
Tbh, what is worth telling the world? Not much is actually worth telling everyone, and everyone has a different opinion on what they want to tell everyone.
I'm not, while now is more important then were, those people are still the same people has before, they are just unable to do anything or think anything, they are still who they are
@MegBee21 I can't. I respect the religious beliefs of others and am not one to try and denounce said beliefs. You are free as an agent to believe in whatever you choose and I will defend and uphold that right even if I disagree with what you choose to believe in.
That is my point. Not much, but some things are, and when you describe yourself to others you don't tell them how you don't do things but what you do. You sing, or write lyrics, or draw, or run, or jump, or are good at something. You don't tell people how much you don't swim, you don't shower, you don't drink pop, you don't use facebook, etc. A lack is hardly defining.
But what exactly is a person without a brain, a mind, or the ability to express? If your parents were but bodies lying before you what exactly does that even mean? They cannot eat, sleep, not even blink. These are not people. These are just living corpses. Real "zombies".
Why isn't it worth anything to someone what you haven't done? It matters just as much as what you have done.
If my mother (me and my dad are having some huge trouble right now... let's just say I haven't gone to his house since last April) became a brain dead person, yes, she is still a person. However, I personally wouldn't want her to be like that, I would want her back or in heaven, but even if she is brain dead she is still who she used to be.
@MegBee21 What you have not done does not matter nearly as much as what you have. To be simple I've yet to paint a masterpiece, I can say with great austerity and certainty that I have never painted a masterpiece, but being top of my class? I have done that. So which tells you more about me? You can only presume I have no artistic talent (which would be wrong) because I've not painted a masterpiece but what if I simply don't paint and instead I carve? Telling you what I do matters far more and leaves no assumptions.
I guess experience really is the greatest teacher. No hypothetical scenario can compare. Let us... let that go.
It tells me that either 1. You aren't good at painting 2. You are decent but not amazing at painting or 3. You are learning.
And you being top of the class tells me that you are have been (or are ) at the top of your class, which class? How many others? By what number? Both leave unanswered questions.
@MegBee21 None of which are true. I just don't paint. Even presuming I paint is wrong; what I said was factual (that I've not painted a masterpiece) but the reason why is ambiguous. Of course I've not painted a masterpiece if I don't paint!
However the tangibility of the other is quick and requires no assumptions. I can tell you which class (2015), how many others (approx. 1,200), and my rank (1). These are questions that make SENSE to ask. You can measure the magnitude of my achievement. You cannot measure the magnitude of what I have not done; a man who says "I have never run a marathon" is just stating a fact, for what reason, or his status on the goal, or if it's even a goal, or even possible are all unknown. A man with no legs can't run, after all.
The thing is, you said "I've never painted a masterpiece" and "I was at the top of my class" you didn't say "I was at the top of my class in the year 2015, with 1,200 other students" (BTW, that's awesome :) ) the same way you didn't say "I've never painted a masterpiece because I do not paint"
So you can say the reason and TV in both, but you didn't in either, so both needed more info (I hope that made sense XD)
@MegBee21 But the point is this: You assumed 3 things when I stated what I do not do. All three things are wrong. You asked questions about the achievement, not needing to assume, to gain clarification. It is good to not have to assume but to be able to ask concrete questions; it means that the communication is clearer.
The difference lies in how we chase that information, not that there is always more information to be had, and this is where it becomes very important. For instance she states that she doesn't get manicures or pedicures but never states why. What if she is, in fact, traumatized? What if she is ashamed of her toenails? What if she has religious reasons? We presume she is an average person and indoctrinate her subconsciously into our social view but it could be totally wrong. Maybe she's money adverse and hates spending money? Maybe she sees it as demeaning to women? There are many, many options as to why people don't do things. Too much ambiguity is worthless.
The reason I said what i assumed was because you said that I could assume something else.
Both I can assume, example, I could assume you were in the top of your class in 2013 with 500 other students, or I could ask why you never painted a masterpiece. And I could ask her why she doesn't get manicures and pedicures
@MegBee21 But that's the thing. No one asked her why she doesn't do these things and yet she declared herself as different for not doing them! What if her reasons are exactly the same as others who don't do them? Is she really that different then?
Motive is worth more than action (or inaction). Also, you can always assume, and you can always ask, but you can't always get an answer. If I told you I was top of my class and you knew my name you could look up my name in a registry. You'll never be able to look up the reasons why I don't do things. There is no such registry. Tangibility and motive are just... better!
If you want to be different do something. If you want to claim you are different but be cookie cutter do nothing. Because in the long run no one will care what you didn't do, only what you did, and you will be judged by your actions not your missed opportunities.
This was probably the best debate I've had in a while, the last website I was on every time I would say something they would start throwing insults because u disagreed with them -_-
One guy even said he was mature... Simply because he had a job!
i like the mytake I like to read that you are different and don't follow trends

Everyone wants to feel different and special. It's a fundamental human desire. You consider yourself different than everyone else... and so does everyone else.
Excuse me? First I wrote that like over a year ago and second, people completely misunderstood what I was trying to say. Maybe I used bad examples, I don't know but I am different from most. I never meant it in a arrogant way, but people took it as that. You 'd just kind of have to know me in order to really understand what I mean when I say I'm different then other women and other people in general.

What a special little snowflake you are, you surely deserve a medal.
Here we go again, someone else misinterupting what I'm saying. I'm not special, I've never felt special, I never will feel special and never said I was special.
No you're just "different from all the other women" I know you've gotten a lot of "marry me" comments but even if that was your intention or not, don't think this makes you superior even to basic bitches.

Way to nekro a post lol

"- Share your Opinion on a myTake +1 Xper" :P
I read it tho, because I liked the way she pissed a lot of girls off. She wasn't even offensive or targeting something.
You sound like a regular low maintenance woman to me.
So you're basically like a lot of women? Except from the hair and having mostly guy friends im Just like you. It does not make you or me, for that matter, any special. . Hate to burst your bubble
Never said I was special, hate to burst your bubble.
not directly no, but saying you're different from most people of the same gender is indrectly saying you're unique, one of a kind and/or special
No, I wasn't but that's fine. I'm really tired of defending myself.
@Belliebella she is different from most other women. Most women do feel entitled, defend other women for being women, etc. You, her, and some other women like my girlfriend are different. Most of the time women who have mostly guy friends are the nicest women.
I have to say that many of the things that you talked about is the way I am too but everyone has their thing.
wait this has been circulating for a year?
I like this. I like the first 4 personally, but the last 4 are so so common and I think they're boring and annoying too.
Don't listen to any of the haters. You are amazing :)
Thanks.
Yeah, I also don't like fashion trends, shopping, gossiping, sense of entitlement or manicures/pedicures, but the other stuff is fine by me.
@ChocoLada are you Latina?
@steven7890789 Nope, I'm Montenegrina ;)
Oh never mind. You are funny cause you said ina at the end of your last message.
@steven7890789 Thanks, LoL :P
Your welcome.
Am I the only one that thinks this sounds so cliché? "Oh I'm not like other girls because I don't do my nails or gossip or hang out with other girls"
You sound like 99% of the female population.
You believe a lot of horrible things about other women.
Is that so? Where exactly did you get that from?
You took a list of stereotypes, declared you yourself are exempt, and that this makes you special. In turn you're also saying that women must be these things (else you'd be like all the others) which makes them gossiping, vain, and stupidly defensive.

Right then.
Are you ignoring the other things she said she didn't do that other woman did that were perfectly fine? She balanced them out. Some were bad (gossiping, which a lot of woman DO do) and some were perfectly fine (shopping, girls night out)
And everyone is special and different, wyd is it bad when someone says they are different?
@MegBee21 How does one balance out slander exactly?
That's not what I meant
She was saying what most girls do. She said some good things that most girls do, along with some bad things most girls do
@MegBee21 In my experience on this planet I have learned two distinct things:
1. Stereotypical notions tend to play to the loudest and most annoying behaviors. It's not that a lot of any group does them but instead that the behavior just gets attached to the group.

She put the biggest things. If she added 15 more, chances are someone didn't (or did) some of the same things.
I hope I'm not sounding rude as I talk
*I hope I'm not sounding rude while I talk
@MegBee21 But if these are the biggest things how small the other things must be. She is like many in these respects and these are her largest differences from others, or so she believes? Where are the trophies? Where are the experiences? All she does is just behave herself and not get her nails done.
What a shame to waste a life like that if that is all you've accomplished.
Trophies don't make you different. At all.
By the big things, I mean the things that most people can relate to, things that most woman do that she does not, etc
She didn't list anything that she does, she listed things that she doesn't do.
This is a list of what she doesn't do that most woman do.
@MegBee21 Trophies used to be earned for great accomplishments. They were for outstanding behavior, breakthrough research, or exemplary physical prowess. A trophy is more than just a piece of metal but instead a representation of past accomplishments frozen in time.

Trophies are awards and anyone who has them should be proud, but they don't make you better then anyone else or more different then anyone else.
Even I personally know a lot of people who do all those things, plenty of woman do those.
@MegBee21 No, the trophy doesn't, but what you did to get it does. I definitely wouldn't sit around and say that I am equivalent to a world champion gold medalist in physical prowess.
Plenty do. Plenty also do not. That is the problem. It isn't rare either way.
No, what you did to get it does not make you better, it does make you different, but no different then anyone else.
However, when you do not do them ALL (along with things she didn't list) that makes you different
@MegBee21 Oh, oh my, I can't beat that level of indoctrination. I assure you that there are indeed people who are better than other people and the invisible "equalizing force" doesn't exist. There really are people who are just about better at everything than some others on every tangible front. It happens. We call them "prodigies".
But now we have to incorporate things not listed meaning things that we ourselves are making up. I presume you know her in person to know what these things unlisted actually are or... ? I take people at face value. I spare myself the imaginary romps through what might be.
No one is better then another person, that's not imaginary.
No, I don't know her. But do you really think that sums up her whole entire existence? That that is everything she is?
@MegBee21 That is completely imaginary. It has been mixed up with "no one deserves fewer basic rights", but there are people who are better than you in every way. Every single one. They are the top of the top and generally speaking high achievers don't just excel in one dimensional ways either so really great athletes tend to be really smart people, etc. Everyone deserves the same level of basic rights but that does not make us all equal except in the eyes of the law.
No, but I do know that how one speaks of themselves tends to be all there is to it. She spoke of what she didn't do, and how she thought that made her an individual, but in reality she is an amalgamation of millions of other women. She is no different from people I know in real life out of the few people I associate with regularly. If she wishes to summarize herself as this, and only this, then so be it. She speaks not of what she is but what she is not and thus her only value is found in what she doesn't do.
Someone might be better at math then me, but that doesn't make them better then me, just like I can be better at song writing then someone else, does that make me better then them? No, it doesn't.
They didn't take their whole entire being and put it in here, they took a very small part of herself and took the big parts of it here.
No one you meet is exactly like her, they may be like what you find above, but they will never be exactly like her
@MegBee21 And if someone is better at what you are good at and better at what you are bad at? What does that make them? The game of picking and choosing and Equalization is a totally different topic so I'll let it rest here and leave you to your own understanding of the world. May it never change. That is a very... nice way for the world to work.
Again, if "not getting a pedicure" is a big part of you then and you're 28 years old then...
And exactness is useless. No two spoons in your drawer are exactly alike even if from the same set when you think on a molecular level but you don't, you think "a spoon is a spoon", and they serve the same function and have the same traits. Why are humans any different? Why do we scrutinize everything down to the last hair so that we can be unique rather than striving to be different in much more major ways?
This world I live in is difficult for me. I do not know how to do anything but continue to live wondering how you manage these thoughts.
That makes them better at those things, that doesn't make them better humans though.
No, its a big part of a small part of you (think of a half of a half of a half of a half of a pie, the last half is a big piece of a small bit of it.
The difference is humans are alive, and can think. Can spoons make their own opinions? Are spoons human? And spoons are different in tiny tiny ways, whereas humans are hugely different from each other.
The world is difficult for everyone, all in different ways.
@MegBee21 And so a person who takes crap care of themselves is equivalent as a human as one who takes pristine care? That is like saying a criminal does as much for the benefit of society as a saint.
So now we are giving infinite reductions to the list. Why must we complicate this? Why does this work so as to give both some sort of boon and yet be diminished as meager at the same time in your mind's eye? A small but meaningful piece, but a meaningless piece in a picture we cannot even comprehend or hope to see?
If it were thought alone then mere nematodes would be individuals. If it were species alone then you are equivalent to one of your tragically brain dead in an accident. If it were traits alone then medicine would simply not work (since the basis of all medicine is that the body works the same way). Even you and I are not so different. How we reach our conclusions is more important than the conclusions themselves, after all.
Yes, and no, the criminal and saint do not do equal for society, however in the end, neither is better. One may act better, but neither is actually better.
Its practically impossible for her to put all of herself online, so she put a big piece of a small part of her.
Yes, I am no better then a brain dead patient, neither are you. We can both do more then the patient, but we aren't better then him.
No, our bodies work almost exactly the same way, but pur minds do not, we do not act the same way, we are all different.
Me and you are a lot different, but I am not better then you, and you aren't better then me, we are different, yet we are still equal
@MegBee21 And how do we judge who is better and who isn't? Or rather, what is the baseline? Or is it just some floating point in space where all humans that ever were and ever will be are? If that's the case humans are no better than rocks. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing...
So why is this piece so big? Why is not getting your nails done meaningful to anyone? Honestly, do you care that she doesn't get her nails done? Has that impacted your life in any way? Were you even remotely curious?
I strongly disagree there. After all a body that is human but doesn't think is pointless. Was it not you who just said thoughts are where identity comes from and makes us unique? It's just a body. It's not even alive on it's own. It should be dead. And yet you think yourself equivalent as if this body has personhood, mindless as it is. Perhaps too high is the benefit of the doubt on my part.
I'm a Christian, and when we die God judges our heart to see if we followed him
A lot of people get their nails done, and she was saying that she was one of the people who didn't. It didn't impact my life, but it's important to who she is as a person.
It does, but the becoming brain dead does t take away everything that you were
@MegBee21 Then we differ by ideology! Which I knew but figured I'd not bring up religion as perhaps there was more to it than mere philosophy. In and of itself though that is respectable; I simply disagree for other philosophical reasons.
But why is that important? A lot of people get their nails done. A lot of people don't get their nails done. At the end of the day this matters why? If this is a distinct portion of your identity... Some people like carrots. Some do not. I can't imagine my liking carrots is really important and worth telling the world.
I am a man of the "Now". What you "were" means nothing to me. A corpse on breathing machine because someone couldn't let go is still just a corpse. It will not magically spring back to life just because you've tubes running through it. If nothing else it's a desecration to their memory keeping them in a state of inability so you can sleep at night.
I tried not to bring it up because I didn't know if you wanted to discuss that too or not?
Tbh, what is worth telling the world? Not much is actually worth telling everyone, and everyone has a different opinion on what they want to tell everyone.
I'm not, while now is more important then were, those people are still the same people has before, they are just unable to do anything or think anything, they are still who they are
@MegBee21 I can't. I respect the religious beliefs of others and am not one to try and denounce said beliefs. You are free as an agent to believe in whatever you choose and I will defend and uphold that right even if I disagree with what you choose to believe in.
That is my point. Not much, but some things are, and when you describe yourself to others you don't tell them how you don't do things but what you do. You sing, or write lyrics, or draw, or run, or jump, or are good at something. You don't tell people how much you don't swim, you don't shower, you don't drink pop, you don't use facebook, etc. A lack is hardly defining.
But what exactly is a person without a brain, a mind, or the ability to express? If your parents were but bodies lying before you what exactly does that even mean? They cannot eat, sleep, not even blink. These are not people. These are just living corpses. Real "zombies".
Why isn't it worth anything to someone what you haven't done? It matters just as much as what you have done.
If my mother (me and my dad are having some huge trouble right now... let's just say I haven't gone to his house since last April) became a brain dead person, yes, she is still a person. However, I personally wouldn't want her to be like that, I would want her back or in heaven, but even if she is brain dead she is still who she used to be.
@MegBee21 What you have not done does not matter nearly as much as what you have. To be simple I've yet to paint a masterpiece, I can say with great austerity and certainty that I have never painted a masterpiece, but being top of my class? I have done that. So which tells you more about me? You can only presume I have no artistic talent (which would be wrong) because I've not painted a masterpiece but what if I simply don't paint and instead I carve? Telling you what I do matters far more and leaves no assumptions.
I guess experience really is the greatest teacher. No hypothetical scenario can compare. Let us... let that go.
It tells me that either 1. You aren't good at painting 2. You are decent but not amazing at painting or 3. You are learning.
And you being top of the class tells me that you are have been (or are ) at the top of your class, which class? How many others? By what number? Both leave unanswered questions.
And what do you mean?
@MegBee21 None of which are true. I just don't paint. Even presuming I paint is wrong; what I said was factual (that I've not painted a masterpiece) but the reason why is ambiguous. Of course I've not painted a masterpiece if I don't paint!
However the tangibility of the other is quick and requires no assumptions. I can tell you which class (2015), how many others (approx. 1,200), and my rank (1). These are questions that make SENSE to ask. You can measure the magnitude of my achievement. You cannot measure the magnitude of what I have not done; a man who says "I have never run a marathon" is just stating a fact, for what reason, or his status on the goal, or if it's even a goal, or even possible are all unknown. A man with no legs can't run, after all.
Nothing. :) Let's let that side-topic go.
The thing is, you said "I've never painted a masterpiece" and "I was at the top of my class" you didn't say "I was at the top of my class in the year 2015, with 1,200 other students" (BTW, that's awesome :) ) the same way you didn't say "I've never painted a masterpiece because I do not paint"
So you can say the reason and TV in both, but you didn't in either, so both needed more info (I hope that made sense XD)
And ok :)
Wow, I meant etc, not TV XD
@MegBee21 But the point is this: You assumed 3 things when I stated what I do not do. All three things are wrong. You asked questions about the achievement, not needing to assume, to gain clarification. It is good to not have to assume but to be able to ask concrete questions; it means that the communication is clearer.
The difference lies in how we chase that information, not that there is always more information to be had, and this is where it becomes very important. For instance she states that she doesn't get manicures or pedicures but never states why. What if she is, in fact, traumatized? What if she is ashamed of her toenails? What if she has religious reasons? We presume she is an average person and indoctrinate her subconsciously into our social view but it could be totally wrong. Maybe she's money adverse and hates spending money? Maybe she sees it as demeaning to women? There are many, many options as to why people don't do things. Too much ambiguity is worthless.
The reason I said what i assumed was because you said that I could assume something else.
Both I can assume, example, I could assume you were in the top of your class in 2013 with 500 other students, or I could ask why you never painted a masterpiece. And I could ask her why she doesn't get manicures and pedicures
@MegBee21 But that's the thing. No one asked her why she doesn't do these things and yet she declared herself as different for not doing them! What if her reasons are exactly the same as others who don't do them? Is she really that different then?
Motive is worth more than action (or inaction). Also, you can always assume, and you can always ask, but you can't always get an answer. If I told you I was top of my class and you knew my name you could look up my name in a registry. You'll never be able to look up the reasons why I don't do things. There is no such registry. Tangibility and motive are just... better!
If you want to be different do something. If you want to claim you are different but be cookie cutter do nothing. Because in the long run no one will care what you didn't do, only what you did, and you will be judged by your actions not your missed opportunities.
I can see your side of the argument, and I can see mine, do you want to just agree to disagree?
@MegBee21 Sure. After all I am but passing time and entertaining your questions.
This was probably the best debate I've had in a while, the last website I was on every time I would say something they would start throwing insults because u disagreed with them -_-
One guy even said he was mature... Simply because he had a job!
@MegBee21 Happy to provide, I guess. Well, I shall go shower. Enjoy your day.
To think, a job alone makes one mature, ha!
Bye :)
Lol XD
If that classifies as different then I am different. I only missed one I have long hair. It's only been cut short once.
All the hate! How? Great mytake expressing how you feel! :) I love that confidence!
Thanks, truth is I'm not as confident as I seem to give off but it's nice that people think I am. I appreciate the nice comment.
Of course you are! :) I'm actually going to write a mytake about myself now! Thanks for the inspiration 😄! And no problem. Do what you do! :)
Thanks.
... Are you sure you aren't really missing out? Your friend's nail place sounds really cool.
Actually, it's my cousins nail place and yeah I'm sure. None of that is my cup of tea.
I'm a MMA fighter that's enough right there. Nice take Miss
i like the mytake I like to read that you are different and don't follow trends
Everyone wants to feel different and special. It's a fundamental human desire. You consider yourself different than everyone else... and so does everyone else.
So... a man's man then? lol
What do you mean?
means you don't think like the typical woman
Well that is true. Honestly, I don't think like most people. I don't see this world the same.
well its nice to know... maybe when im in a rut, i'll contact you. Im a guy but still know how girls think, im a useful resource too.
Okay, fine by me. I'm always willing to help anyone.
You sound awesome. I like you!
Thanks.
Brave of you to assume other women are like that.
Excuse me? First I wrote that like over a year ago and second, people completely misunderstood what I was trying to say. Maybe I used bad examples, I don't know but I am different from most. I never meant it in a arrogant way, but people took it as that. You 'd just kind of have to know me in order to really understand what I mean when I say I'm different then other women and other people in general.
There is literally nothing you said that other women don’t do.
Great MyTake, very interesting & unique. :)
Thanks.
