squish303: now a
gay guy looses about 99% of his chance of
ever becoming my boyfriend or even getting me to go out on
a first date when he says these two lines:
Zboy77: it sucked i like voyager its well done.
Zboy77: i hated ds9 now that was bad
IggY2K: hehe
squish303: that's
fuckin'ass SCARY
IggY2K: yeah! are you sure he's not being sarcastic?
squish303: no he's
serious!!
squish303: "WELL DONE" !?
IggY2K: oh well ...
voyager is a gay show anyway :-)
squish303: hahaha....
what makes you say that
IggY2K: heh what doesn't make me say that
...
squish303: heehee
squish303: besides,
he's 6'4," i like cute little short guys
squish303: but he's
really cute:-(
IggY2K: is he like in a biker gang too or something?
squish303: HAHAHA
squish303: rotfl!
IggY2K: :-)
squish303: he
probably is after that statement isn't he
squish303: WHY DO
ALL THE CUTE GUYS HAVE TO BE
MORONS!?!?
IggY2K: hehe i don't know ...
squish303: WELL
YOU BETTER DAMN WELL FIND OUT
squish303: I WANT
AN ANSWER
IggY2K: Maybe it's a genetic dependency: Cuteness =
Intelligence^(-1)
squish303: NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
squish303: no no
no no no
squish303: and i
have proof to the contrary
squish303: excellent
proof
IggY2K: oh?
IggY2K: don't tell me you think Freddie Prinze Jr is
smart!
squish303: all we
need is one counterexample to disprove
your theorem, so we need someone who is very intelligent
and completely adorable
squish303: YES
IggY2K: Oh I think not!
IggY2K: Although I don't actually know how smart he is,
I don't
think he's that smart
squish303: ahhh
but you see, we do not need someone that
is emphatically smart AND emphatically cute to disprove
your statement. it is enough that we point out that one of the
cutest guys on the planet, who by your equation should be
one of the stupidest guys on the planet, is in fact, not.
IggY2K: ah but you see you have to prove that he is not,
in fact,
stupid
IggY2K: we have no evidence either wya
IggY2K: er wya
IggY2K: er way!
squish303: well
then, i would like to present to you my proof
IggY2K: ok
squish303: but
before we begin i would like to present to you
another theorem
IggY2K: ok
squish303: that
the worse someone is at sports, the more
likely chance there is that the person is intelligent
IggY2K: ok
squish303: and
that the more a person plays computer
games, the more intelligent that person is, because the
person must use computers more for computer games, and
computers are devices only used by intelligent people
IggY2K: ok so computer game players are bad at sports?
squish303: no no
no, you're taking the inverse of my first
theorem, which is not equivalent to the theorem itself. you're
making the argument that a) computer game players are
inteligent based on my second theorem, which is correct,
and b) intelligent people are bad at sports, and therefore
computer game players are bad at sports. it's a valid logical
argument but faulty because the premise b) is not based on
my theorem "the worse someone is at sports, the more
intelligent they are," but the inverse which is "the
more
intelligent someone is, the worse they are at sports." it's
perfectly possible for someone to be intelligent AND be
good at sports you see
squish303: i.e. i
never said the inverse was a valid theorem
IggY2K: huh? But "The more intelligent someone is,
the worse they
are in sports" implies that people with high intelligence
are bad at
sports ...
IggY2K: So {High Intelligence} => {Bad at Sports}
squish303: but i
never SAID "the more intelligent someone is,
the worse they are at sports"
squish303: i said
"the worse someone is at sports, the more
intelligent they are"
IggY2K: oh ok
IggY2K: so someone who is bad at sports is necessarily
good at
computer games, but not the other way around (necessarily)?
squish303: no no
no, someone who is bad at sports is
necessarily INTELLIGENT, but not the other way around,
and someone who plays computer games is also necesarily
intelligent, but not the other way around.
IggY2K: oh ok so, {Bad at Sports} | {Plays Computer
Games} =>
{Intelligent}
IggY2K: ?
squish303: yes!
IggY2K: ok
squish303: and
the rest of my proof is very easy.
IggY2K: ok
squish303: i just
present you two facts that i happen to know
about freddie prinze jr. one, that freddie prinze jr is bad at
sports. on an interview with rosie he said he played soccer
and he once got the ball into the other team's goal. and two,
that he likes video games; he said he played wing
commander in high school so when he was cast as the lead
roll in the wing commander movie he thought it was really
cool.
IggY2K: ok 1) Getting the ball into the other team's
goal is the point
of soccer, and 2) Just b/c he played Wing Commander doesn't mean
he was good at it
IggY2K: I think we need to distinguish 'plays' computer
games from
'plays computer games well'
squish303: sorry,
he got the ball into his own teams goal
IggY2K: Like, I could push a few buttons but that doesn't
mean I
'played' a computer game
IggY2K: ok well that still doesn't mean he is bad at
sports, in general
- just soccer
squish303: well
he said he was bad at sports damnit
squish303: and in
order to have been really excited about
playing the wing commander role, he must have played the
games a lot, which he said he did in fact, and no human on
earth can play any game a LOT without getting at least a
little bit good at it
squish303 wants to directly
connect.
squish303 cancels request; no
connection was made.
IggY2K: well what if he's actually good at football (but
just has
never played it)?
IggY2K: and the thing about playing games a lot doesn't
necessarily
mean you can get good at it ... in fact, stupid people often play
a
game over and over without getting good at it ...
squish303: okay,
about the football, the point is that all we
need to do is establish that freddie is NOT as good at
sports as he is cute. that means we just have to show he is
NOT a super fanatical extremely good sports player. if he
got the ball into his own team's goal in any sport, then i think
we can safely say that he's smart (by the theorem) ENOUGH
to disprove your theorem
squish303: the
same with video games. we're assuming
since he at least knows how to start a program and move a
mouse and use a keyboard, that he's at leas smart
ENOUGH to disprove your theorem
IggY2K: well even if that is true, you haven't really
proven your
initial two theorems - you just conjectured them
squish303: as you
have not proven your theorem, just
conjectured it
squish303: i
guess this got us nowhere
IggY2K: right, but in order to disprove my
theorem you have to
actually prove yours - I am not claiming my theorem is correct -
it's
just an idea
IggY2K: :-)
squish303: but be
honest, we both know that there is at least
one person on the planet who is very good looking but not
proportionally stupid, so it's silly of you to suggest your
theorem to begin with when we both know it doesn't hold
IggY2K: well that's true but that means you have a 1/6,000,000,000
chance of finding that person ...
squish303: ah,
but really, we both know that human beings
are so dynamic that your equation probably holds for very
few of them
