sciences, Drugs, Porn- these were great answers. i was a little bored until i got there.
word associations- polarized (between brilliant and vapid), but good. a little too good for me to believe that you actually wrote the first word that came to mind for all of them. the only reason i question it is because i don't see that same quality of associative reasoning in your other answers. for instance, your human psyche answer is either terrible or just very poorly articulated. you don't think there are hidden depths in the phantasm? and this statement from someone with an affinity for phychology, eh? are you stoned? this was a major inconsistency for me

Thank you about the userpic, I happen to love it myself.
And for thinking at least some of my answers were great.
But I gotta tell ya, I didn't bullshit with the word associations. Because they were what came to mind first...
And the human psyche thing, didn't like that answer myself, because it's not actually something I've given any thought to. I don't care how that sounds, with the whole psychology interest and everything, but it's how it is. And yeah, I donn't really believe there are huge hidden depths in dreams.
And the are you stoned bit...dude, I don't do drugs, and I said that.
And sorry, I didn't think to give a sample paragraph, but I didn't actually think it was that big a deal to go over and comment.
And...I didn't say I was any good at physics. Hah..
But thanks for the long comment, because people don't generally do that...
Can't help an apologetic tone, it's a big part of who I am, and I'd apologise, but that would defeat the purpose somewhat...
And don't tell me there was a lack of effort. Please.
Because...you don't know how much effort I did or did not put into the answers.. I just couldn't figure it out, is all. I mean, I did ask y'all for your help, but that seems to be out of the question apparently.
I also know what I'd have put... Not that you care ^__^
It further solidifies my no that your supposed effort produced no tangible result. An effort to me would have appeared as links at a minimum or attempted html. You're not worthy of acceptance into a community for the intellectually elite if you cannopt follow simple instructions.
Saying something is simple just because you understand it is just ignorant... And actually, so's that whole darn comment..
It's nice to know that the intellectually elite are still capable of typos, showing that they are, in fact, mere mortals like the rest of us. I'm tempted to say get over yourself, but that'd be plain silly.
In that case, (Land of your ancestors and all) that's not so bad... What pisses me off is when people go "Yay, Ireland" and think it's full of leprechauns and people saying begorrah and swigging whiskey 24/7..
Haha, not that I thought that's what you thought...
No - for nowstormcrowleyJanuary 5 2006, 03:32:49 UTC
Though your answers are unworldly, I think that just shows your lack of practical life experience. Your points of view are interesting, but I feel doubtful as to whether you'd be able to keep up with some of the more esoterically philosophical questions that get thrown around.
My answer for now is no - you might be going through a few events in your own life soon that will probably change your perspective on a few things - when that happens, come back.

Alright, d'you know what, I think you probably have it the most right. But I don't exactly know what you mean by you might be going through a few events in your own life soon that will probably change your perspective on a few things.. Haha, it sounds a little horoscope-ish.. No, I mean, I don't know how you all think you can tell what I have or haven't been through by these answers, because, to be honest, perhaps you ask the wrong questions. Not exactly wrong, just not ones that give me room to show me.. Because, looking over them, I don't like this application...
Anyway, I might come back in a while, I'll at least keep an eye on ye..
No. Your replies to "Organized Religion", "Drugs", "Pornography", and "Occult" were rambling and hard to read. Not posting pictures or a sample of writing bothered me. Those can be "gimme" marks in most applications. Your defensive responses in the comments section were very grating. In spite of all my criticisms, I think you have a lot of potential. If you took more time on your application, I'm pretty sure I would vote "Yes".
I don't know how they were hard to read, but I'm sorry if you feel that way. And yeah, those two have already been explained, so I'm not going over that. I'm not sure being defensive is wrong exactly. For one thing, people don't like me being apologetic, or defensive. So I'm wondering how exactly I'm supposed to react to criticism. It's a character flaw, I guess, but I've never been one to react well to being criticised. I tend to take it overly personally, so if I'm being defensive, I'm not sure I could change much about that. I'd have to pause and think about my response, and there's another thing I'm not that practised in...(which I know, and I'm trying to change)... Anyway, I think a few other people feel like that, that I should take more time and try again.. Which is ok, I guess. Haha, I think I'm pretty much banned for the time being though..

Also not at least attempting pictures shows a lack of effort. I don't care if it would have been broken html at least something.
