I know we're way of topic but what the heck, it's not like that has ever happened before....
Darb, so who do you feel are the intelligent people on here? And where do you rank yourself in that list? How do YOU define intelligence? Does experience have any bearing on intelligence or is there no relation.. Love to hear your thoughts.
Bah missed this and another of yours cause i was gonna claim I didn't want to derail
We can get into my personal life another time and another thread, which is fine, could be now or later.
Intelligence is not something I define like others, I define it from a different perspective. Basically the direction of realizing we are all one collective whole and the ramifications that come with that perspective.
From those that do not attempt to see this way, it would seem quite contradictory which I understand, but it still makes more logical sense than believing any of us are "separate" whether because of nationally, skin color, belief or ones actions or habits...
we are clearly from the same place, and clearly part of the same whole.
Waiting for answers to my questions, or at least a "I'm not revealing that". Conversely I have no problem with people knowing who or where I am. Nothing to hide.
or at least anything I am admitting to.. >:D
Wait wait wait..
He's avoiding simple, direct questions, and also rambling incoherently? Please tell me we collectively learned enough from history so as not to have to repeat it?

Was it not the great Galileo who pontificated...blahblah garbledegoop blarg Nazis Nazis blah
I've never come across anyone in my life with such middling intelligence trying so hard to appear a genius. Perhaps darb sympathises so greatly with fed due to their shared delusion of grandeur.
Simply reading this thread it is abundantly evident that their base motivations on this site are identical.
This lacks the direction that I point to as "intelligence". I'd like to say that I do not wish to prove my intelligence, but instead point out the obviously logical and moral route.
We want to judge ourselves not based on how heroically we act in a simple situation like saving a baby..
But how we treat the unfortunate bi products of this terrible society. And yes we know that you protest such added compassion and empathy for "scumbagz".
But it is not intelligent nor moral to function from this type of root. Its a terrible thing to shun people and outcast them to this degree, and we all know you are smart enough to be aware of this...
it doesn't matter who or what they specially are, do, or think...

Just didn't know how far we want to make it a darb's life thread. whether it belongs here or in another thread. But I'm fine to explain most of the questions. They are just kind of big for this thread.

And everyone here is guilty of standing by and watching.
Sorry, but in this case they are EXACTLY right. You don't listen nor answer any questions in any real or meaningful way. If you consider this piling on then by all means take your leave and regurgitate the same old crap on your own forum. No one there will disagree with you.

Feel free to make a thread and see where it goes but advise against talking in riddles.. I could do that as well but you would not be able to understand it.;)
This is my point Mark, and it is to everyone here, there is no reason to treat a person badly, you are simply confessing that a prejudice attitude is justifiable while simultaneously running off a person that doesn't agree with such an absurd belief.
I'm not capable of such absurd logic, exactly what Gibran outlines. So seemingly a self admitted prejudice and violent person convinces others darb is a racist...and has the community ostracize me.
But there can be no logic to the accusations laid on me you see?
You want maybe people to believe my plan is to trick everyone into not seeing my true racist nature...
But I think the truth is clear, I don't believe in being prejudiced to ANYONE in this fashion...you clearly do.
Have we perhaps been around this circle before? What the hell does prejudice have to do with this discussion anyways? You keep trying to bring that back into the convo, why? Prejudice against stupidity or morals perhaps? Mike has copious amounts of one but lacks the other. I'll leave you to decide which is which. I certainly don't think you are stupid but certainly you lack some common sense and knowledge of the "ways of the world". I have a feeling the questions I asked, if answered truthfully, would go a long way to helping us understand where you are coming from. Comprende?

You miss the small stuff... like "definition of words".
Prejudice means you pre-judge someone for a reason (race / hair colour / skull shape) that is generally superficial and silly. We know you. I'm not prejudiced against you, I don't like you. I made an informed decision that you are a person that I do not care for, and would enjoy the forum more if you were to not be here.
That is based on your personality, your "contributions" and your character. Nothing superficial. Seriously, please leave of your own choosing - that'd be great.
Maybe put down your "Philosophy for Dummies" and try a fucking dictionary. I know it's fun to just high-horse me and such, but your ignorance is showing.
And everyone here is guilty of standing by and watching.
These two are significantly better men than you on EVERY tangible scale of measurement. Intelligence, compassion, competence, common-sense, wit and humour; they are your betters.
I am standing by...and watching them hand you your ass with every response.

Please make thread and number the questions so I can prove specific attempts to respond. I just prefer it not be a gang up on darb attempt. But anyone can feel free to ask. I would try to answer everything the best I can and some questions might be avoided.
Mike has morals but lacks the skills and self discipline to act them out. I can read this in his cards, peoples game theory skills are very telling and correlating to their approach to life as well.
Yes I get called smart and dumb all the time. I get called intelligent but lacking common sense a lot. Some of it is true, much of it is from clearly ignorant peoples though. See we can see patterns. People point out all the time if everyone is against you maybe it means you are wrong, and its true to some extent, but the general population is also quite dull in the mind.
What is common sense is compassion for your enemies, the less fortunate, and criminals...something clearly you have and are an example of...
but somethign some individuals lack, and unfortunately these individuals often harness the collective because hate is easier to monger than compassion.

The discussion is about your choice in man tho?
I am watching you and others join in not for the discussion and dialog that is useful and needed, but simply to join the bandwagon and poker at my image and identity. And it is how the group mentaility begins and grows.
Do you feel there should be somewhat close to equal women vs men on this site?
Or again you are oblivious to such things because you are the "girl" in the cool group, one of the "guys". Not a very diverse group is it :-\
Are we champions of equality here? Or do we like to self pat ourselves on the back?

Kristy's twice the man you are... hell, she's twice the man I am
peoples game theory skills are very telling and correlating to their approach to life as well.
Well most of this past post was rather hard to understand with your communication skills but I must take umbrage to one of your points tho.
I'm pretty well a horrible poker player but I certainly don't have a horrible approach to life. There is little relation to ones game theory skills and real life. I fact I would claim almost the opposite.
I included you in the original writing...but removed your name because he didn't call you out.
You possess all those qualities and the same level of ass-kick-ery.

Gotta ask you Darb, what are you doing with your life for the betterment of man (or woman)? Please don't include standing up for fellow man on the interwebz, that would be really useless. What sort of live interaction do you have with other peoples live? I hope it's not just getting together for pot parties. Have you ever travelled to experience other cultures/places etc? Would love to know what you do for a living?

lol, well thank you... just josh'in ya.. And where is Josh anyways, imagine he would have a lot to say here if he was around.
Perhaps that is logical, that scammers are the worst scum, therefore they don't deserve pity, or don't deserve it from you...
however he has been "outed" for many years now, and continues to "scam", so the suggestion that he won't burn anyone else seems nonsensical to me.
And you have not addressed the issue much, the issue is should we murder the murderers, lest we be guilty of what we are accusing the accused of?
Historically, we have much justification for such hypocrisy, but we have terrible a history of for example slavery.
Sure he can keep scamming, its a given. The point of outing someone more publically like 2+2 is it lessens the chance of future scams. It doesnt stop anything, but if a mark does basic google research on the individuals name or screen they can see their terrible past history and cease getting duped.
But again thats not really a solution, just a deterrence. Some scammers occasionally do get convicted of theft and end up doing jail time, its much rarer though, still thats the end game if the victim wants justice for the crime.
Ultimately the only thing you can do easily is run their name into the mud via personalized websites with their real name, threads exposing them on public forums/staking sites, etc. I liken it to a pyramid schemer, they will rarely get charged or convicted and its basically your own fault if you get scammed by them. Not saying this is the case every time, especially if its the first big scam by them, you would have zero warning. But for many cases there are usually signs.

We must keep in mind, that I have redefined the qualities of a 'good' player and proper use of game theory.
One can be technically bad at poker and good at life, but it doesn't suggest their poker strategies are not telling. Maybe correlate is the wrong word.

I spent some years undergound minning been barely surviving on poker since but quite happy. Moving towards programming. I've been spending my time learning as much as I can. Would look forward to traveling, will prob use poker for it but have had family responsibilities tying me down in that regard (not kids).
I teach martial arts sometimes (not at the moment) but I don't teach competition, I teach it cooperatively which is difficult but important in this UFC/MMA age.
So I don't claim anything heroic in this regard, possibly I am as guilty as anyone I point out, but I still believe that it is correct that Gibran points out we are all guilty for others crimes.
I hope I addressed each question in the fashion you wished me to, please re ask or highlight if i missed some aspect.

See we are almost completely agreement up until the implementation of the community's "decision". It doesn't stop anything, and so it is unnecessary and cruel. It just sounds weird because in a sense the criminal was the cruel one "first". Furthermore logic suggest that the better outcome would come from adopting the person into the community and introducing any new members to the criminal.
These are two different approaches, one which is to the direction of prejudice and tyranny the other is compassion unity and wholeness. And yes there is no sophisticated scamming likely, just two people playing redic bad "Poker".
But how we treat these people says something about us, as it has all through the history of man, we create "terrorists" with these justifications and then despise the people we ourselves create with our own ignorance towards them.
It is not so difficult to understand me I think, but rather hard to admit...
I think you would be good at programming actually as you seem to have the singularity of purpose that it often requires. As for the martial arts I recall you mentioning it before, which martial arts do you prefer? Three of my grandkids take Taekwondo, the 10 old got his 1st black belt several months ago. What is your "art"? I myself never learned martial arts formally, just the good old street version of common sense.

Drug pushers? Why not? They are scum of the earth.

Angle shooters? Those guys are assholes.
Devil worshippers ? Fuck em!
Illinois Nazis? I HATE Illinois Nazis!
Hmmm better be careful. We will lose a lot of members.
