To start off -- so what if your IQ is 130? Or for that matter, if your SAT score is 1270? What are you trying to prove? If you think that posting (unverified) measures of your intelligence gains you credibility here, you're wrong, as the posts in this regard have revealed. (Although I hate to invoke Godwin's Law, the comparison could be made that by all accounts, Adolf Hitler was very "smart" -- does that mean that you should have listened to him? No!)
Oh, and by the way, I too am 17 -- but I have an SAT of 1370 and am in university. (Not that it matters, as I stated above; further, I am sure that there are many people here smarter than me...) So, Walleye, now that you know that I am "smarter" (if you feel that SAT is a good measure of intelligence), does that mean my opinion is worth more than yours?
Secondly, you have stated that "Only how we are percieved in the eyes of our peers is what determines our worthiness of this life and this earth." Well, by reading the posts here, it is very apparant that you are not viewed very highly in the eyes of you peers. So, does that mean you are worth nothing? By your logic, it would seem so.
Despite the fact that I disagree with you on most, if not all, of the points that you raised, I believe that all life is worth something. Having said that, I do believe that a life can go to waste, if no good is made of it. Walleye, you must realize by now that the reason this thread has 4 pages of replies has nothing to do with sex; and everything to do with the fact that you seem to be unable to let go of the fact that everyone here deems you unhealthy.
Ask yourself: Are we all just wrong?
hitler's concepts, ways to rise to power, and all that stuff should be looked at, studied, learned from. He was a great motivator, speaker, tactician, and hero to the german people (non jew, and at that time...) the fact was he was crazy, and that's why he failed in his motives... but we arent debating hitler, anyway...
i brought up my testing scores because someone (i felt) made the allusion that i was stupid. i really hate that. so i represent at least a measure of my intelligence in an easily understandable form.
statistically speaking, do you think a few replies in 1 thread is a measure of my ... how to say it... peacefulness.. benevolence, ... (good traits ...)... ? No, of course not. do you think, statistically speaking, that the bulk of you are the bulk of my peers?
because of the nature of the internet, we only see what we want of people on the internet. you only see my inflammatory side, because that's all you want to see. Now, how Zealous do you think i am about my views? i have said a lot of things here, but i already said words mean nothing, and only action matters.
it is actions that define us as who we are.
As for my actions, lets see... i volunteer regularly (at least 5 hours a month)... i will be completing my eagle project soon, and that will include over 500 man hours... so i will be an eagle scout.
I already told you im no idiot.
i have over 30 trophies, medals, and awards for my skill in shooting sports.
i have the skill and knowledge to live most anywhere in the world with only a knife pretty much indefinitely... given that i have warm enough clothes to survive the night.
and i already told you all i hate myself more than i could ever hate anyone else... but i dont expect any of you to understand that.
and i already told you, you cannot determine my actions, you can only judge me.
no, you're not all wrong.
