'Me on a computer tech forum: How can I do XYZ? Moron 1: Oh, I wouldn't recommend doing that. You might break something. Moron 2: Why would you want to do that? My cousin's friend's roommate...

For me, all cities pose the same problem... lots of people congregating in one area. How nice it is depends on your economic means. If I could buy myself an oasis of escape, like a sprawling...

No rational people are religious? Okay ...then that means there are no rational people, because all of us have faith in something.

Hilarious. I want to see an old toothless redneck man on his front porch singing Can't Hug Every Dog ...or a psycho cat hater singing Can't Kill Every Cat. Why are there no good parodies?

You can give aid to poor countries until you're blue in the face, but you can't stop it from being re-routed into the pockets of corrupt officials and cartels until you do something about the...

I liked his explanation of the functions, but at the end when he said pretend to be an extrovert ...I said WTF!? Imagine locking an extrovert in a dim room for 2 days and telling them to...

What are those? :-) Seriously though, the art of debate includes knowing when to avoid them, so I agree with you that we should pick our battles carefully.

...every trip to Wal-mart (or large marketplace where you live) provides clear evidence for your theory that humanity is doomed and the end is approaching at an exponential rate.

I spent my younger years building a wall around myself. Now I'm over 40 now and here is what I've come to realize: Relationships are like campfires. - The flames are bright when the fire is...

My rules for debate: 1. If you have to raise your voice, it means you're losing. 2. If you have to stoop to a lower level than your opponent, it means you're losing. 3. As long as you don't...

I didn't know INTJs wrote poetry ...except for dirty limericks.

Thanks for the replies. Getting Things Done is a book that changed my life too. It's the ultimate organize-your-life book. Its guidelines are now my habits.

I tried reading The Power of Positive Thinking when I was younger and I couldn't get through it. It seemed like just a bunch of touchy-feely, illogical anecdotes. Now that I've learned much more...

Satanic couple targets of hate crime? - Crimesider - CBS News The irony is killing me! You can't make this stuff up. The real life drama of actual idiots is the funniest thing in the universe! ...

I find myself constantly searching the internet for new, life-altering information. Of course I almost never find it, so I snap back to reality for a short while until the next irrational wave...

I disagree with all you you who disparage online dating. I've been married over 20 years and when I started dating the internet didn't exist. When I consider the opportunities for meeting that...

That is sad. I still think the vast majority of random strangers (men included) are good however, and when walking in safe places you should not live in fear. In the US, rapes happen to about 18% of...

Undocumented statistics. I might add that to the What pisses off INTJ's thread. :tongue:

Yes. Because I'd rather be uncontrollably horny than uncontrollably cranky. Just joking. In both posts. :tongue:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/CagedHeatWOWchamps.jpg Please be gentle, ladies. You really don't understand how men think do you? :-) If you had to experience the...

I get the sense that everyone here hates Hallmark Gift Cards as much as I do. Worst gift ever. I have actually contemplated taking them back and asking for a refund so I could have the cash...

Reminds me of James Gregory: My uncle heard that most car accidents happen within a mile of your house. So that dumbass moved.

I would say yes too. Is it wrong that I don't feel sorry for you one tiny bit for being constantly ogled by members of the opposite sex? I am a man after all.

Yes. ......

Autism is a full spectrum of behaviors. Any of us who rely more on logic over emotions, or who has trouble reading the emotions of others (all INTJs) is showing autistic tendencies. Big deal....

Thanks for the replies. I get the sense that you guys are just as reserved with thank you as I love you because you don't want it to become overused and meaningless. I can respect that. This is...

Questions for ESTPs: Are you always late? If that causes problems for other people, do you care at all? If so ...and if those people really need you to get this under control, what is the best...

Confidence is the belief in your own abilities. Arrogance is the ignorance of your own inabilities. INTJ vs ENTJ is a contrary relationship type. (Contrary relations between psychological...

But you HAVE to learn how. Arguing with him is as illogical as talking to a brick wall. You need to move away and get out from under his control as soon as possible. You may have a much better...

But Christmas is celebrated by 95% of Americans. Christmas Strongly Religious for Half in U.S. Who Celebrate It Not really. That's just some politically correct feel-good bullshit propaganda forced...

Oh c'mon, where's your thrill-seeking sense of adventure!? Although it adds a whole new dimension to there's a hair in my food. :shocked:

Yep. My friends call me Mr. Selfish. I enjoy robbing others of their joy so much I won't even say happy National Potato Day or happy National Pie Day. I agree with the OP 100%. You're not...

No, you've got it wrong. Sarcastic comment about holidays [over explanatory one liner for the dim-witted] Rant Trivial knowledge-seeking curiosity

Very straightforward and logical reason :) - I was including Thanksgiving, Christmas, & New Years ...Probably the most obligatory socializing INTJs will do all year. I celebrate Christmas and...

Don't you just LOVE getting together with big groups of family, friends, and co-workers for the holidays? ^^Sarcasm^^ Getting together this past Thanksgiving in a large family gathering was...

Surroundedbyspaniards, you know you can't just leave us all hanging. You have to report back here at least within 30 days and give us an update.Puh-leeeez. It drives me CRAZY when girls say things...

C'mon now, don't sell yourselves so short. My wife is an INFP and being a mother is her greatest joy in life. There is not a better mother on the planet. And marriage is as natural to her as...

I've always thought Zoey was an ENFP. Such a perfect female I could almost faint watching her.

I dunno, a slave would come in pretty handy around the house.You're over idealizing and romanticizing. Some slaves would have refused to go with you. Some had good masters and stayed for almost no...

Oblivious people!!! The ones who linger in doorways. Get the fuck outta the way you clueless sacks of shit! The ones who stand in line with the door open, on a freezing cold night, waiting to...

There's no way you can say what you would or wouldn't do. When you meet the person you want to marry ...you'll want to get married. Duh. If you're able to take a wait and see, I'm too young right...

There, I started it for you. An ESTP that I know doesn't laugh at the same things as me. I love deadpan humor, sarcasm, Spongebob, Mr. Bean, Monty Python, etc. I can be dying laughing and she'll...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIaORknS1Dk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krb2OdQksMc Almost anything from Life of Brian is hilarious. I would think this especially funny to INTJs because we...

When I was in college (before internet) it was just as bad. A ten story library full of books that I would never have time to read. Pure torture. And I would always get distracted from the boring...

Stop it. You're hurting my feelings. I'm not asking for help. I'm asking for information. Whether it helps or not is up to me. When I was younger I was a lot more autonomous (a hard-headed...

I'd like to hear from other INTJs about your thoughts on self-discipline. Is it something you struggle with? How do you cope? What has worked for you? I struggle daily. My need to absorb knowledge...

Your own existence requires faith in the reality you perceive, so reality itself is a self-delusion. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. ~ Einstein Faith and religion...

I have found that direct confrontation rarely has the intended consequences, so I avoid it. Letting others see that I am annoyed is a weakness I refuse to expose. Allowing other people to control me...

I didn't make many friends growing up. School was boring and depressing. Home life was rushed because both parents worked so much. Time spent at my grandparents, outdoors riding my dirt bike,...

This describes me to a T! I dated a girl in high school for 2 years (first love). No guy has ever treated their girlfriend better. We could not have been happier. I would have married her...'
