Best person to have an intelligent conversation with.

[bronto]

bondo.

[Flame]

Intelligent as in what standards (games, bashing, flame wars, stupidity?)

[bronto]

intelligent, as in not flame. i mean intelligent in general and very intellectual. i cant spell.

[|MP|Buccaneer]

At the risk of starting a flame war, Bronto, you need to look up what intelligent means if you are saying Bondo.  

Around here, I would say Ace.  He always looks up what he doesn't know, before making a dumbass out of himself in posts.  Assassin would be a close second (he did say something about pre-season college football today).

[PsYcO aSsAsSiN]

The pre-season college football was relating to my school, UCLA...but I guess all collegiate DI teams don't play that many games.

Bucc, Deadeye, Ace, Cossack, are the first few I can think of. I have had intelligent convos with others, they just haven't come to my mind yet so sorry for leaving you out if you belong in that category.

[Typhy]

Without a doubt, overall it'd have to be Grifter. Since he's no longer with us, I'd have to go with Bondo.

[bronto]

i like the way typhy always uses the correct punctuations and what not. i bet hes the biggest slob in real life.

[tasty]

bucc, lol i can't believe that you are insulting Bondo's intelligence? HMMMM maybe political affiliations had something to do with the people you named, since if you combine them and add yourself into the mix, then we pretty much have the politically conservative side of the frequent posters covered.

as far as best person to have an intelligent conversation with, I would have to put myself first and foremost out of pure egoism? then after that, I most value the intelligence of bondo, cookie, and ace.

but seriously, I'm pretty fuckin smart, so y'all betta recognize

(my intentional use of ebonics and incorrect grammar is in no way an endorsement of my intelligence or knowledge in the use of the English language)

[bronto]

not only is he smart, but also extremely sexy. i think im a good person to talk to because i would talk about anything and expand on the subject, but i also like to ruin the conversation with things i find funny. like if we were talking about the elderly, i would tell you about how i threw a bouncy ball at this old lady in the king kullen parking lot.

[Bondo]

I think the best people to have intelligent conversations are people like my friend.  We disagree on most things, but unlike some people, he is able to stick with arguing the topic like I do, not striking out at the credibility of others due to fear that your argument isn't strong enough.

I also like conversing with my wubbers (you know who you are).  

[Ace]

Around here, I would say Ace.  He always looks up what he doesn't know, before making a dumbass out of himself in posts.

So I look up stuff and then I still make a dumbass out of myself? Great, back to the fucking drawing board...

Hmm, off the top of my head I would give it to Bucc, although wrath would give him a serious run for his money if he were able to speak more than two words at a time.

[|MP|Cringe]

Me on the rare occasions that i've had more than my usual 2.5 hours of sleep
Hw suxxorz

[(SiX)Ben]

A serious conversation? Ace Bucc and ejo pwn... (yes... ejo)

[EUR_Zaitsev]

It may seem narrow minded of me but often talking on importent matter with Conservatives erupts into small time bickering thus an agreeing conversation still on something importent would be best with me and the winners are Tasty and Bondo

[Brain]

me, duh.



 
actually, i'd give the call to either bucc or deadeye. when you talk with them online they actualy have a sense of humor and the fact that they make my job as a moderator so much easier on this forum, except when dumbasses(you know who you are) decide to try and counter their points with half thought out posts.

sin and ace come in as  close 2nd and third, mainly because i dont talk to them much

[*DAMN Silent Killer]

best person would be ace, assasin, or bondo

[Bondo]

I'd like to add that SK's sig is a pretty good list of people to have intelligent conversations with...if you can find them

[Typhy]

Since I havn't really gotten into an argument with Bucc yet, I don't really know how he acts. Judging from what I've seen him say, he behaves in the forums much the same as Grifter, in which case he would be an exelent person to have a disagreement with. I wouldn't go with Ace or Sin at all. The instant that they disagree with you, or you make a mistake in somthing that you say, they will start to insult you. I really hate that shit. My thoughts are that the best people to have disagreements with are the ones that leave crap like that out. Sin and Ace both reseach what they say, and make exelent posts, without the insults,  they'd be right up there at the top.

bucc, lol i can't believe that you are insulting Bondo's intelligence? HMMMM maybe political affiliations had something to do with the people you named, since if you combine them and add yourself into the mix, then we pretty much have the politically conservative side of the frequent posters covered.

There goes someone else calling me a conservative.  Just because I don't argue a single side, liberal or conservative, doesn't mean I'm one or the other.  Like I've posted, I'm actually a liberal.  Gun control laws are actually a conservative stance, but they have been taken on by the "Liberal" activists.  I'm against abortion and the death penalty (first is considered conservative, second is considered liberal).  I don't feel that I have to fit into a political mold.

I make my mind up based upon the facts, not what's popular, not from emotions.

As for Bondo's intelligence, or lack thereof, it's pretty obvious.  He doesn't read the arguments against his very well, he ignores strong points that disagree with him if he can't refute them.  He is, in essence, the ultra liberal version of Rush Limbough, right here on our forums.  

I mean, he's trying to explain why facts don't matter in logic and what is and isn't logic to someone that has a degree in philosophy (which logic is a big part of).  That is really amusing, but a bit pathetic.

The reason I pick people like Ace, Assassin, Cossack (forgot to mention him in the first one) and even Brain are because they often will look at facts and change their minds.  They admitt when they make mistakes and go forward, not try to cover them up with more BS, like some here.  This isn't to say that they make mistakes often, because they don't.  But these types of actioins are good signs of intelligence.

You see, if you had looked up intelligence, like I said, you'd notice it's not having a strong opinion, or having a wealth of knowledge.  It's really the ability to learn.  The ability to aquire and apply knowledge.  Since Bondo wants no part in learning things that disagree with his opinions, I can't consider him intelligent.  And before he says that lovely 2nd grade "so do you", I've changed my mind on things like gun controll, because I looked hard at the facts.  Not just the ones that support my position.

[Bondo]

It's odd, I've been listed as very intellegent by a large number of people here.  Maybe it isn't as cut and dry as you think Bucc.  Maybe instead you should just shut up about it and accept that I am in fact very intelligent.  I just don't have the same views or methods as you do.  I don't argue in the same way, but unlike you I don't view my style of arguing as the only proper way to do so.
