Not in the mood

How come every time I get an awe-inspiring speech for my blog, I NEVER NEED TO BLOG OR DONT HAVE A COMP!?!?!? What the heck? I mean really, is it so much to ask that I get my "Eureka!" moments when I NEED THEM!!? Like the other day, I had a great one, about the false illusion of sexual maturity differences... actually now that I think on it, I can ( Read more... )

I do not care to argue over whether or not girls mature faster, to me it is just fact and i do not care. However, i will disagree that everyone is emotionally driven. The term would not be "unemotionally driven" as that just sounds silly, rather it would be "logically driven" or even so specific as "financially driven ( ... )

First: I apologize if my previous message was not clear. I meant to express that emotion is what governs our logic and our way way of thinking. I do not agree that there is even a single thought that is created without emotion. I'll try to explain this with another simile: Say that life was a game. Logical thought, which -to put it generally- is technically based on numbers, is capable of being processed, but in order to know if the small numbers are better than the large numbers, we need to know the rules of the game. The rules of the game are what we believe. What we believe is what is taught to us and what we feel is right. (keyword there) So in reality, our logic is governed by our emotions ( ... )

i do not believe that logic and emotion go hand in hand which may be why some people see me as cold. often in my problem-solving i give them the logical and best solution but it is often not the one they want to hear.

XD

as for the child psych thing, i think you need to read my post again because i did not say that it was the gender that gave them that boost. i said it was statistics.

Well, of course I can understand that you would disagree...there is nothing I think I can say to change that. It is however nice debating the topic.

and btw: "they do not say this is for girls and this is for boys, rather they say this is the approximate amount on time based on many factors such as potential, gender, mental capacity, etc."
I merely noted that you added gender to that list of factors. Forgive me if I misunderstood...

LOL no problem. but it would seem we've reached an impasse here. Time to shake hands and thank each other for the nice debate? or would you rather keep it going? XD

Well, normally I'd like to continue, but I don't see how we could. I mean, I could easily say that just because your logical opinion isn't what others want to hear doesn't mean that the logic wasn't based off of emotion. After all you did say your problem-solving solution was the logical and "best" solution, which would be your belief and because it was your belief that that was the best solution that it was driven by emotion, because without the emotion there would be no best, there would be a "it doesn't matter which way you go". But still, even I weary of a nice and well drawn out debate. So, thank you for the nice debate Lacey :P.
