I think what your describing is more of a concept than an actual definition to a word. Dogmatism is an arrogance based on the un-willingness to know while being naive is simply not knowing due to circumstance or age and nescience is just ignorance due to a lack of knowledge.

grrrr..that makes me mad too. I know someone like that.



the guys I call "hip-hop honkies", young white males acting like they are a black rapper

Exactly, there is no normal. I want to shut these idiots up.

When I talk about youth, I talk about their atitude towards life. They don't heed the words that are thrown at them. The ones that say make the right choice. Do they? Of course not...invisioning them in a couple of years is the best thing. This is TRUE endless possibilties.

I'm 15, and I can say I can base most of the stupidity of youth on first hand experience. A stereotype? No son, they're idiots that'll do anything to be in.

Sorry, but not everyone is ignorant. There's book smarts and theres life smarts, I have life smarts at a level where kids my age aren't at. Book smarts? I'm getting there.

Writers block.
GOSH! I hate writers block. Ever notice when you totally quit, hours or days pass bye and then something hits you?



Dogmatism is an arrogance based on the un-willingness to know
Isn't dogmatism the tendency to assert personal opinion?

arrogance yes

I don't agree with you, I think in some situations you don't have to experience etc to understand or relate, eg. I don't have to have schizaphrenia to understand the emotional pain it can cause the sufferer and family

merriam-webster

Main Entry: dog·ma·tism
Pronunciation: 'dog-m&-"ti-z&m, 'däg-
Function: noun
1 : positiveness in assertion of opinion especially when unwarranted or arrogant
2 : a viewpoint or system of ideas based on insufficiently examined premises

I've always had the experience that in connotation dogmatism was also used to describe a stubborness in learning what they so vehemently oppose.

Yeah. And rape. Rape really sucks.

This thread was a fine idea, originally, but it didn't waste much time devolving into a list of truisms.

I don't agree. As a species, we expend a great deal of time, effort, and money on many charitable causes. Governmental and judicial systems in the civilized world are, while far from perfect, certainly more effective (and humane) than those we've had in the past.

If you merely mean to say that the human race is still afflicted by the same sorts of inherent flaws and weaknesses as 2,000 years ago, I'd agree, but I think it's clear that we've made great progress in virtually every humanitarian cause.

Generalizing is fun for the whole family.



Being in a football pool, going 7-1 in the morning against the spread. Obviously losing the Seahawks - San Fran game since San Fran is your favorite team and Seattle is your "home" team and you can never get those games right, then having the stupid Tampa Bay Fvckaneers play the stupidest game of the season and sabatoging themselves every single opportunity they get, thus ruining your chance of winning a $5000 football pool because 10-13 isnt going to get you anywhere.

lol, I noticed you have a Kurt Cobain avatar, he had low self esteem and thought negatively about himself. Do you respect him? Myself, I am a huge fan of his music, and I thought he was a huge part of the 90s. I loved him. Still do. I am a collector of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain memorabilia.



Cobain still respected himself as one who despises himself... Nietzsche said something along those lines.

edit: exact Nietzsche quote if anyone cares

Cobain still respected himself as one who despises himself...
ahhh...you are right!!! But does Frank respect him?



I think Jimbo does, he told me yesterday he did.
