So you disagree with his opinion with anarchy? Is it that you detect irony within it, or the fact that any other country should be allowed to govern however they choose.

I'll admit, I disagree with making America the "police power of the world". I think half of the problems we have with other countries can be traced back to this idea.

Care to tell me why? Just curious.

Some passion? Hate to know you hate most....

Theodore Roosevelt. I just shorten it to TR sometimes, or I call him Teddy.

If you think you need sleep, get it. Your brain will thank you.

I think it was made to be more of a message to people rather than a game. Like, "Check it out guys! Monopolies and trusts suck".

Thank you TR the "Trust Buster".

I do now after learning when I was 8 years old it wasn't really a game.

Ok. I know guys like that. My family can make a game like Monopoly look amazing.

True. And the same could be said to you.

Trickster as in a one-liner kind, or one who plays jokes on others?

Funny, I don't recall seeing you be the clown yet, unless I missed it somewhere. But that whole changing between crowds I understand. But sometimes, going the other way can be quite amusing.

That is very true, but meeting person to person can make it easier to break that mask. Especially if the person is a terrible lier. It would be a lie saying I didn't wear a mask when I go out of my safety zone.

That makes sense now.

I never work well under pressure. Whatever the situation/assignment is, I try to do it as soon as possible.

Okay. People easy to read: I could say Llave, but that would be too easy since I've known the guy for almost 5 years now. Someone easy to read would be like Jaden from the Duel Arena. Someone with a mainline focus and goes more on emotions kind of gives me a pretty good picture about himself. Emotions always allow others a window into the person's mind, as long as they are constantly expressing them. With the posts he's made in the spam zone are an example of that. While others may see him as strange and random, depending on the context of the post he could have done on pure boredom, wanting to get a reaction, or he's trying to open himself up to others.

People who are harder to read would be......surprise surprise, you. Despite telling me a little about yourself and your dilemmas, it is hard to make face of the type of person you are. If one uses more facts than opinion, then the emotion doesn't always shine through, and the window has been blocked by a curtain. I'm not really the sort of person who can figure a person out after one meeting, but that first meeting is a critical one.

Ultimately the greatest flaw is simply that we are communicating over a computer screen. Therefore it is very easy to mask oneself, and become someone completely opposite, or more the case, the person we hope/fantasize to be.

I was saying an example of "knowing how big it is rather than the size it is measured by."

Interesting. Self taught, or did someone show you the ropes of how to Speed Chess?

Examples? How would you want me to do that?

It all depends on where I go, what I do, and the people I meet.

If I did it once, I'm sure you would have no problem.

Yea, I'll admit not the best example I could come up with. Interesting pov. Do you think you could give me an example?

After reading those articles carefully, it seems you have the ability to either create scenarios in which your argument always leads to your victory, or you are able to, as you put it, recognize the flow of a discussion and figure out how to make benefit you. Does that sound accurate, or did I miss something?

Me? Hmm, tough one. I always try to keep an open mind when it comes to topics or people. Try being the key word. But sometimes I can sometimes figure people out by watching their mannerisms or paying close attention to the things they say/do/post. Some people are as readable as an open book, and others I simply can not figure out.

Very satisfied. And I thank you for the interesting read, I have once again learned something new today. Then again, it doesn't take very much to impress me.

Funny, that sounds exactly like what my professor said to me the other week. To remain objective and see how a student can back their opinions on a certain topic. And of course he loves to pick the big ones that challenge the way we think.

Peace of mind sounds nice. I'm more of an advocate for world peace itself. To know everything is a difficult goal indeed. With new information being sent out, and old information being re-modified (ex: Pluto now being a dwarf planet) that could prove difficult to keep up with.

Pretty much a whole "Go with the flow" kind of guy huh? I wish I could be more like that. I have a tendency to try to figure out every little detail of something.

Very well. I'll be awaiting your next post.

I can believe that. Your posts seem more factual than opinionated, which explains why some probably cannot stand debating with you. But your posts are reasonable from what I've read. As for you being aimless, even I can't buy that one. Everyone has an objective, whether we are conscious of it or not. And that makes wonder now, what exactly is your goal? Not just here on this site, but on Earth.

Truth is stranger than fiction. You call that simple, but I think there is more to it than that. The subconscious is more mysterious than outer space and the ocean. Thank god I took a year of psychology, or I would have never become so fascinated in the human mind.

I'm sure they would find something. From what I've learned, they always instigate a conversation to get feed back out of the person.

Well this has been a pleasant chat, but now that it is 1:00am for me, I think I'll get about 6 hours of sleep and begin life again and finish that final, and get my break! We simply must chat more. This has been the most stimulating conversation I've had in a while.

The world is full of irony, so I have learned.

Can't say I've been down that path. There were things I cared about. Most of it was work. I didn't have many friends. Now I feel more stressed than before, and I've felt myself slipping. I've been seeing a therapist and everything, and it does help to talk about it and not be afraid that someone will judge me.

I don't know about the whole bleak and boring thing, I've never met you in real life. Besides we always regret the things we didn't do, not the things we did. I'm not trying to get religious or philosophical on you, but I always say that things happen for a reason, and I'm sure you were supposed to make the choices you've made in your life for a reason.

You don't have a job? This surprises me. What exactly are you looking into? Or are not really caring at this point on what it is? On the other note, I do know exactly what you mean.

Is it just me, or did the world seem simpler and more nice the younger we are? Granted I know depending on the persons past not everything was happy and simple.

Ture. Wisdom has always been seen as something on a much higher plain compared to intelligence hasn't it?

Yes. I believe crippled works much better. With just getting off of work at 12:00 and making final touches on a final paper for my history class, my thinking level is slowly dropping. Plus the emotional issues I've been dealing with.

I'm not trying to make a sob story here. But sometimes I do wish I could not feel anything.

The problem when a society create these walls. They believe it is to help to child grow, but it ends up.....what would be the proper word.....stunning them instead. I have thought that the human mind is the most incredible piece of technology we have, and it shall never be duplicated. The mind of a child can be very powerful indeed.

The way I've see things, wisdom isn't perfection. Even the wisest of men, or men who have been given that title are always flawed. As a friend once told me, "One smart man with a stupid idea is far more dangerous than 100 stupid men with stupid ideas".

With that old age and knowledge is much experience behind it. You could be 100 years old, but if you didn't do anything in your life, what does the age prove?
