Well I define sexism as the belief that one sex is superior to the other. I don't think my definition of sexism occurs as often as we think it does. With the example I posted regarding my female teachers, I don't think they genuinely believed women were superior to men. So I don't believe they...

I think the topic of sexism is in some ways overrated. The working world in North America at least, is far less interested in gender and more interested in money. I think assumptions are more often a result of stupidity than sexism. And I would also add that when there is a low level of...

I think everybody has this at some point. I still distrust authority a bit because not everybody handles it so well. Even so, I realized some years ago that it was not so much that I didn't like authority, but that I really, really thrive in the arena of collaborative efforts. When authority...

A romantic comedy starring none-other-than Jennifer Lopez.

It also seems like an attempt to keep everyone in line with each person's expectations about how others are supposed to think, feel, and act. It can make communication really confusing because there are so many different issues brought up all at once and most of it doesn't particularly matter in...

NeverAmI, well said. I would just like to add that I'm not sure there is anything cooler than a bear dancing to a ghettoblaster.

I find this topic fascinating. If I can add my perspective here. I dated what I think was an ESTP. The attraction is electric but it's a combustible relationship. I then realized that in practice, introversion can mean we're not in control of our destinies. As we rely on people who are...

Hey Krumplenump Thanks. There are only a handful of philosophers I can help you with, none of which I know as well as Nietzsche, whose writing I fell in love with. So if you're ever curious about another one, mention them to me and maybe I can help in some way. Most professors try to make...

Hey Krumplenump I see where you're coming from. I am a huge Nietzsche admirer, and I studied with a prof who was only a few philosophers removed from the man himself. Nietzsche's writing can be difficult. But I'm a firm believer that you can break anything down to a few points. So if you're...

I got procrastination issues as well. Want to read a funny quote? "Procrastination is like masturbation - at the end of the day, you're just fucking yourself." Hope people don't find the language too offensive. lol

RWIR Hey, I think everybody goes through this to some extent. And anybody who thinks everything they are is awesome, is probably a dick. You should never be so hard on yourself. I know it's easier said than done. But, remind yourself from time to time! You're a good person. And at least here...

I think the use of language is only ironic insofar that its content radically opposes religious content. Personally I find the language beautiful and I think Nietzsche found it beautiful also. I find the language carries an aura of authority with it, and Nietzsche used this to his advantage in...

I agree with the above posts to a certain extent. But I would argue that for any of the above versions of maturity to be even possible - it would require someone who is honest with themselves. A mature person understands what their flaws are, and can candidly discuss them in a conversation...

Interesting topic, certainly relevant to INFJ's. For my two cents. I remember reading somewhere that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. I think that's true within this context. Our hatred comes from love for people and wanting what's best for them, and then seeing them fail at...

I'm a musician so I live for music. As for lacking skills, you can always learn how to play.. there's really nothing quite like it. And it's pretty easy to get the hang of it. imo.. Then you can pick up a guitar and sing songs with your friends.
