Michael says:
physical violence is stupid? lol
Matt says:
it is
"You called me stupid! I'll prove you wrong by hitting you!"
Michael says:
the end result, u keep calling me stupid, i keep hitting you until you stop, or u just stop
either way, i win
see
Matt says:
Yes but it doesn't mean that you aren't stupid
and other people will realize this
not talking about you here btw
just hypothetically
Michael says:
i know
same with me
anyways
but the fact of the matter is, anyone else who dares call me stupid will also get punched
fear > logic
Matt says:
psshht
yeah right
anyone can make someone fear them
Michael says:
but he point of the violence guy is to get someone to stop calling him stupid
he achieved his goal
Matt says:
ok, right now I'm going to say something that I in no way plan to do this or anything at all, and this is completely hypothetical, I don't want to end up like your brother
anyone idiot can go up and shoot someone that they are mad at
or kill them while they sleep
Michael says:
yes
well no
well
ok, thats true, but i wouldnt do something like that
Matt says:
I said "can"
Michael says:
alright, continue
Matt says:
But the thing is
that since you care so much that they call you stupid
the fact that you can't actually prove them wrong means that they were probably correct
Michael says:
but he got them to shut up right?
Matt says:
Yes, thats why fighting is for the weak minded
Michael says:
so thats all that matters
Matt says:
no, what matters is that the person IS stupid
Michael says:
if i ultimately got u to shut up, then thats that
Matt says:
the other person was correct
You can use warped logic to make it seem to you like they are wrong
but in the end
the real truth
is that you truly couldn't prove them incorrect
so you resorted to something easier
that didn't actually prove anything
And if all that matters is people not calling you stupid, I find it weird that you wouldn't care if everyone secretly hated you but never told you
Its just lying to yourself
to help you feel more selfconfident
but its false self confidence
and thus it's only for those stupid people who feel the only way they can feel good about themselves is through pure denial
Even if you beat the **** out of someone, they still will think that you are stupid
Michael says:
i dont care about that
point is i showed them
and got them to shut up
Matt says:
but they still think that you are stupid
and others around you will too
assuming they aren't stupid as well
and while it's true that ignorance is bliss
In the end you're still incorrect
and it doesn't help your situation with others
Michael says:
i can beat the piss out of everyone else then
or well
i dont need to
Matt says:
And.......what would that accomplish
Michael says:
because they know how to keep their mouths shut
see i dont care what people think, as long as they keep it to themselves
Matt says:
see
making yourself feel good through pure denial
Michael says:
doesnt matter cuz i can beat the piss out of people
see
Matt says:
your lying to yourself, saying that you aren't stupid simply because people don't say you are
Michael says:
im not saying this is exactly what my thought process is
Matt says:
I know
this is hypothetical still
Michael says:
ya, but most people who are like that, they dont care
as long as people keep their mouths shut
i hung around jocks
Matt says:
I know
Michael says:
and trust me, u insult them its down the hatch for u
Matt says:
and that makes those people weak minded
Michael says:
and from then, nobody messes with them
Matt says:
I'm saying that it's a problem that people think that way
because its incorrect logic
you didn't prove them wrong
you just hurt them
the facts remain facts
Michael says:
im saying that we should just accept it the way it is, because the world needs both kinds of people
Matt says:
No it doesn't
Thats like saying the world needs dictators
I say we try to change it
by educating people on why it's incorrect
Sorry, I wanted to post my full opinion but I didn't want to rewrite it all out, so I'll just post the conversation me and Mike had.
/Doesn't care if mike ignores because he already read it
