It pisses me off! When a guy chases me i don't really want him, but if he isn't calling me or asking me out or paying attention to me then i want him more than anything! And the same goes with guys; when i chase a guy he runs a...

Polymath25 I don't think everyone is like that. I'm not. If a girl is "chasing" me, I find that more attractive than just about anything. When you think about it, there is not much in a romantic relationship more important than that the other person likes you and wants...

If you could meet a real genius, would you want to? Is there any question you would like to ask? Anything at all? An IQ test I took says I'm a "genius" so here's your chance. Ask me anything.

Polymath25 Here are some further observations on the nature of intelligence. First, being intelligent or even being a genius, does not mean you are always right. Everybody makes mistakes. I sure do. In fact, being a genius doesn't even mean you never make stupid...

Polymath25 I had a couple further thoughts to add to my previous comment. First, I know other people who also rank very highly in all four of your categories so it's not just me. The automobile design analogy doesn't seem valid. Or, as I said, the maximum is far...

Polymath25 redyellowblackdog, Either your hypothesis is incorrect or the maximum the human brain is capable of is far beyond my abilities. I say this because I believe I would rank towards the top of any scale in all four of those categories. Then again, everyone...

Polymath25 redyellowblackdog, You're only making 1 to 5 cents a day here? I'm getting 12 cents a day, but it hardly matters. These amounts are utterly trivial. You could probably make far more money on the internet in any number of other ways. You could put up a...

Polymath25 Bravenewworld, There are some very intelligent Americans. Even geniuses. I've met one or two. This does little to change the reputation Americans have of being ignorant of the rest of the world and almost anti-intellectual. That stereotype persists...

Polymath25 The European project now has a momentum of its own that is apart from any of the original motives for the movement. Despite all the debate about the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe (TCE), it is legally still a treaty between sovereign states....

Polymath25 I'd like to know what any of you who are reading this would do if you took an IQ test and the results said you were smarter than Albert Einstein. Would you even believe it was true? Would you start working on theoretical physics like Einstein did? Would you...

Polymath25 Thank you for the compliments. As for why I am on mylot, it's funny you should mention that since I only just joined and I'm already thinking of quitting. The reason I joined was to try it out and see if it was possible to earn any significant amount of...

Polymath25 Well, it could just be me. I do have a sense of humour, but I tend to be more concerned with serious topics than jokes. People do ask me sometimes if I'm "always so serious." I'm not always, but the fact that the question comes up tells me something about...

Islamist Extremist terrorists have vowed that they are willing to fight against the West for generations if that's what it takes. They have been killing us for decades, so there's no reason for us to doubt them there. We have...

Polymath25 I had trouble believing it myself when I first heard it. The exact figure is extraordinarily difficult to obtain. We have some much lower numbers from Bush and the government he has put into power in Baghdad. I think it would be safe to say those are...

Polymath25 I'm glad to hear that you are willing to talk about this reasonably and that you are not like so many others whose first response to criticism of their ideas is to heap insults upon the critic and ignore the substance of what was said. On the other hand,...

Well, for some reason I have been paying more and more attention to the conflict in Iraq. Initially, I wasn't for the war to begin with. I still think we shouldn't have invaded Iraq for the reasons we did, but the truth is that we...

Polymath25 Para, Maybe you could cite a few of these parallels. I see an unpopular, corrupt and brutal government with an ineffective army supported by US military power and gigantic amounts of American money. I see a popular guerilla movement that is pushing US...

Polymath25 My response got cut off. As I was saying, Iran's senior military commander has said that Iran will pursue exactly this strategy in the event of war with the US. As bad as the situation is now and as disastrous as it will be when US forces leave, both...

Polymath25 The initial invasion was wrong and stupid. I said so a year before the invasion. It was already obvious then that Bush was planning on attacking Iraq. So of course, the troops should not have been sent in. That's been my position since before this began. I am...
