What's all this fuss about?
Anyway, Maybe this will get the topic back on track?
I actually better understand gscript2 than I do gscript1. Concatenation definitely makes a lot more sense. Some things are still a little bit confusing, but it definitely makes things tons easier. I can't wait until it goes clientside.

My point is that you can.

Dude, stop being such a damned hypocrite. You constantly say I am arrgoant, putitng myself above you, and you go and do the EXACt same thing. The fact that I am in PDM alone says I am not a complete ***** (PDM is a senior class, im a sophmore), I got a 29 on my ACT wothout having time to finish every problem (about five blank on each subject, I didn't keep time well enough). If needbe I can scan and show pictures to prove this. But I don;t want to. I am considered one of the smartest in my school by my peers (not in this forum). TO me, that is enough alone to prove myself. Of cours,e you can't come here and interview everyone i know, but if you did, well, let's just say you'd feel like a total ass.


I know what the correct use is, I choose not to use it, that shows nothing pertaining to lack of knowledge. For one needing proofs for eveything, you sure stretch wehat one is for yourself.


True.

True or false, the phrase beat it means leave, having nothing to do with the definition of the words used.

I can also reinterpret it to mean a dozen other things. But should I? If you do not speak in a manner that is compliant with standard English, you cannot expect others to know what you are saying.

It's only arrogance if it's not accurate. I am above you, in every way that's relevant.

Congratulations! But none of this means anything to me. I do not even know what an 'ACT' is. All I can use to judge you is the behaviour I witnessed.

Why would you do that?

And when you use the word 'of' to contrast a previous use of the word 'your', you must be using it to describe the same kind of relationship. ie: Ownership, possession.

Well i wasn't aware of the more common usage, I'll admit.

It's arrogance whether true or not.

Let me see....hmm...nothing about whether true or not.......




ACT
is the most commonly used standarized test we have here. And if you are going to judge on behavior, well as I have explained that is very misleading.

I don't like it as much, and the way i like is acceptable in common use. I care not if I am going by "perfect" grammar.
Yes, but you did not answer my point after that. You have said yourself that this is bad argument skills (I am not looking it up, if you dont remember saying it blame your own memory)

Not if the situation actually calls for such comparisons.

And, in addition, not if the statement of superiority doesn't imply any particularly elite state. If you were to claim that you were more intelligent than a cat, for example, I would not call it a symptom of pride; it is simply a true statement.

It's not perfect, but would accepting your claims be a more reliable method?

Would that not justify pretty much any mistake? Like confusing 'your' with 'you're'? What if they prefer an incorrect version? Why do you prefer to make that particular error?

Untrue. If you intend to make such accusations in the future, please come equipped with a suitable quote.

Anyway, I ignored your point partly because I had difficulty deciphering it and partly because it didn't appear to say anything relevant to the debate. Now you are ignoring mine. Why?

No, the definition doesn't change just because you want it to. Afraid the english langauge doesn't work like that. Arrogance is not reliant at all on truth. As for the cat thing, most people are able to tell the difference between a factual claim and arrogance.


The best method is to not form an opinion or at least not live by it.

Because it isn't really acceptable in common usage.


I'm sure anyone who has seen most of your arguments already know, so I care not if i prove it to you

My point was that a phrase's meaning sometimes has nothing to do with the individual words.

If a person accurately claims to be superior to another, it may simply be an on-topic, factual statement.
If a person falsely claims to be superior to another, it is indicative of pride (undue in this case), and can be an example of arrogance.

See how the truth value of the claim can modify the applicability of the label?

Can you provide a universal method or is it just a matter of 'whatever falco thinks is right'?

How is that better? And do you never act on provisional assumptions/beliefs?

Haha. What? The correct version isn't acceptable? I have never been challenged for using it.

They already know the contents of a private conversation?

Yeah. And it's utterly irrelevant. If you use 'of' to contrast a 'your', you are implicitly using it to speak of possession. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Yes, it could, but in your case, it was obviously arrogance. Just because something is true (and we'll assume yours was just for this point) does not necessarily mean it can't be arrogance. In your case, I think that the arrogance was fairly obvious.

Neither, Most people can tell which is which. There are certain things that measure whether it is or isn't, which I do not wish to get into.


It's better because there is no risk of false belief. I'm not saying I never do, I'm saying that it's the best method not to.

no...I mean in the your you're case, in which they prefer the incorrect one...


Private? You state it in every other agument! Plus you HAVE said in private AIM sessions that it is (I was arguing whther not responding to a whole post was the same as that which you called bad arguing; ignoring certain points)

[/quote]
Yeah. And it's utterly irrelevant. If you use 'of' to contrast a 'your', you are implicitly using it to speak of possession. Otherwise it doesn't make sense.[/QUOTE]I suppose this matter isn't important, and i can see that your stubborness blinds you from the truth here. Even when you are wrong, you defend it with "No, it isn't" until death, i swear.....

Nor did I claim otherwise. However, the context actually demanded a comparison, and it is not arrogant to comply.

Do you have any actual arguments, or are you just gonna keep telling me what you think?

I think this answers my question.

So? Tell me, what is the purpose of beliefs/working assumptions? And can you show that they don't meet this purpose?

Why do you do it if you think it is sub-optimal?

Okay. But I asked you a different question: Why do you prefer to use 'was' at inappropriate times?

Then I cannot see why it would be so difficult to find a single example.

Then provide a quote. It is possible that I have said something similar, but your mind has warped it to fit the circumstance.

Once more, empty assertions. They don't win you anything, dude. Anybody can scream about how "EVERYBODY ELSE IS DUMB, ONLY I CAN SEE TEH TRUTH", but it doesn't tend to be persuasive.

But you did so in an arrogant way :rolleyes:


Do you have any actual arguments, or are you going to keep asking me stupid questions about additional comments added that have nothing to do with the argument?


The answer is neither. If you didn't get that (and I know you didn't) it shows even further the bias you put into your arguments. I made no indication that I made any of this up, and quite frankly there are things that everyone takes into consideration when judging for arrogance.


They cause falsely lead biases towards someone, which as yo have shown greatly flaw your arguments because of a mindset that you cannot lose against such a person. This causes stubborness and uncertainty in your arguments along with the famed "No I;m right, you are wrong".


I try not to, and I do let it influence me less than most people do. However in extreme cases i am unable to help myself.


I like the sound better, simple as that.


Because I don't wish to look for it. Your arguments usdualyl encompass many pages and it is usually one post in there. I don't wish to root through them to satisfy you.

I can't provide an exact quote, but the conversation went something like:

me: he ignored the post, isn't that bad arguing skills according to you?

you: No, ignoring individual responses is a bad argument skill. Ignoring a post may be due to tiring of that argument.


Before saying something like this, quit doing the same thing yourself. Hypocrite....

NO, U DID.

Seriously, man. It gets boring after a while.

Haha. Dude, if you try to make some kind of point and it doesn't happen to be admissable, I'm gonna say so. Solution: Don't make 'points' that're just statements of opinion.

Perhaps so. But you haven't shown that they would incriminate me any more than you. All you've done is repeatedly state your opinion.

No, I asked for their purpose. That is not their purpose.

Gahaha.

Am I stubborn because I think you're wrong? Then why doesn't the same apply to you?
What uncertainty in my arguments?
And dude, you cannot make accusations like that after saying "your stubborness blinds you from the truth". You think you're right, I think I'm right. What's the difference? Stop being so hypocritical.

"extreme cases", huh? Are these rare, then?

The reality is that nobody can function as a normal human being without belief. You need to believe that the sun will rise, that gravity will keep us glued to the floor, that speeding cars can hurt us. We believe these things because, assuming certain axioms, they conform to our experiences and increase our chances of acting in an efficient manner.

Your arguments are essentially that we should ignore everything that we see or learn. Perhaps this explains quite a lot.

Mm-hm. Would you accept that excuse, if you were in my situation? I mean, it's basically universally applicable. At what point do you conclude that the person is lying?

Well, it's not just to satisfy me. It's to turn your post from an empty accusation into a valid point.

As I recall, it went like this:

me: Hey Falco, why do you always accuse people of saying stupid things on the forums?
you: BC I CANT THIKN OF NE GOOD POINTS

I WIN!

Before saying something like this, show that your opponent is actually doing it.

Falco, just to let you know (as I am a neutral bystander), your arguements are flawed and anything you have said countering Kaimetsu has been idiotic. I would advise stopping all activites conflicting with Kaimetsu. You will end up in a state of illusion, thinking you won the debate. You haven't won. You make yourself look like a *****. Once again I advise you to cease this activity, admit defeat, and learn.

Yes, your hypocricy does.


I see no harm in adding something small like that, as long as it isn't in place of an actual argument.

I;m relying on other to judge based on their experience.

Human want for a judgemental basis, and they serve that purpose, but with bad side effects.
No, you are stubborn because you ignore proofs, when that is all you look for to begin with.
You have yet to show any proof of any of your points.
Even if I showed something, you'd deny it.
The WAY you think you're right. And being hypocritical about being a hypocrite is the worst case of hypocricy there is.

Basically you are an extreme case, so any time I argue with you it happens, at least when you argue as you usually do. Anyone can function without belief. I DON'T believe that you will never change, I DON'T believe that you are much smarter than me, and I DON'T believe that gravity will keep me on the floor (government satellites are working to destroy gravity as we speak...erm...type). I don't work on assumptions (usually), I work on experience, then apply that to possibility of something happening. Much better working than assumtions.


I would accept it if it's commonly accepted in grammar. No need to apply strict grammar rules to everyday speech.

That shows you at least don't like it, and I've seen many such examples around. I cant find any exact words, but I have seen it before, and I'm sure others have too.
We damn well both know nothing of the sort ever happened, on the other hand, I properly recall the one i posted. I am not saying it is irrefutable evidence, I am saying i remember it.

Well for one, you shook off the DEFINITION I gave you and said you were right and that what i said, which was backed up by definition, was wrong...

First of all, Neutral party my ass, second, I'd like to see you do better, and third, ionstead of saying "Your arguments=FLAWED!!!!!!111" give examples and explain how, idiot. You obviously aren't meant to judge someone's argumentive abilities.

I agree with soul blade, you aren't winning in this debate, your arguements are beyond flawed, I'd suggest keeping quiet, and letting the thread die.

Show how instead of just being the normal kai follower I'm used to.

I think more people would enjoy seeing Kai get his ass handed to him in an argument than would like to see him win yet another.


The point is, all you've done is accuse him of things, and then fail to provide any evidence when it is called for.

Whats the point of arguing if you can't prove your point?

NO UR STUPIDITY DOES LOL

So very tedious.

What if it's an accusation or an insult? You don't need to back those up?

Okay. Then let them do so, and stop telling them what to think.

Of course, that might not work out for you. Already two people have disagreed with the opinions you assigned to them :)

Huh? If you're going to invent terms, please define them at the same time. What is a "judgemental basis" in this context?

Could I not equally say the same to you? You've gotta learn to think from more than one angle, hoss.

Which can only be interpreted as a bad thing if you presuppose that you're right. In other words, you can't make that accusation without doing the very thing you attribute to me!

As a normal human? Hardly. Why would they eat, if they didn't believe that it would help them survive? Why would they do anything at all?

Ah, so you believe/assume that your memory actually describes real events?

What, people can only prefer something if it's commonly accepted by stupid people?

It shows that I objected to G-Yoshi's behaviour in that particular instance. It doesn't show that I think nobody should ever ignore parts of a person's post. For example, a person misinterprets me and writes several paragraphs based on a misconception. Would I be a hypocrite if I wrote only a few lines, clarifying my meaning?

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with ignoring sections of a person's post. It depends on the circumstance. In this instance, I ignored your 'point' because my own paragraph already covered the topic.

We damn well both know that exact conversation happened. On the other hand, neither of us recalls the one you posted.

Which?

What, Soul Blade and I are the best of friends? Presumably you have not seen the last conversation we had.

Maybe he should've just said that "your stubborness blinds you from the truth". That's perfectly acceptable, right?

Let's get off this......

Do you mean the add-on or the argument? The former, no, the latter is circumstantial.

I already know of two people who agree with me, but are afraid to mention themselves as to not be ovetaken by the mass kai followers. Of course, this won't be believed, but that is unimportant, ot's not like I need to back up what OTHERS think.

Judgmental: Based upon judgement. Basis, a foundation. A foundation based upon judgement, or in better terms, something to base any further judgements on.

I take opinion into context when backed up with evidence (not proof), and when it matters. You NEVER do.

So we share similar flaws, mine just not as built upon......


Based on my way, looking at how it has helped keep you alive, also the fact that it's been proven, unless an immortal changes it, it would be so, basically, because it's a high probability of helping to survive.

THe probability of them being fake is low from what I can tell from experience, so thus I will believe based upon probability that my memory contains actual events.


I said nothing of the sort, get your facts straight.

Fine, though I know you have at least criticized particular instances of doing this.

Whatever you say....

Of arrogance....

Nope, nor do I care to.

Yes, that I would have accepted :rolleyes:

I'm talking about this: "I think that the arrogance was fairly obvious". If all you do with your posts is make declarations of your opinion, I think I am justified in asking you to stick to what you can prove.

WELL, I KNOW THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO WOULD TOTALLY POST BUT THEY'RE SCARED THAT YOU'LL STEAL THEIR LUNCH MONEY.

I GUESS I WIN. THREE HUNDRED IS CLEARLY A BIGGER NUMBER THAN TWO.

So it's a basis based on judgement? Man, that doesn't even make sense. But okay, you've defined it now.

Character assessments are useful for all kinds of reasons. Obviously you agree, or you wouldn't have convinced yourself that I'm some kind of arrogant hypocrite.

Could I not equally say the same to you? Dude, step back and think about this objectively. The whole "I AM RIGHT SO YOU MUST BE STUBBORN" thing just doesn't carry any weight. It requires you to assume that you're right, in which case you're at least as stubborn as I.

Which presupposes what I mentioned earlier: That your memories are accurate.

You are using experience to confirm the validity of experience? Have you ever heard of circular logic?

Well, the error you made would not be accepted by most intelligent, educated people.

And I know that you secretly wish for a flowery pink pony, which you would call 'StarDancePrancer'. Don't deny it! I know it's true.

I didn't dismiss your definition. I showed that the truth value of a statement can modify whether it implies what you gave.

Because then you wouldn't be able to as easily dismiss his opinion, right? You would need to decide that he just hates everybody whose name starts with an 'F'.

Agreeing with somebody and then appending a :rolleyes: is not a particularly strong debating tactic.

You have yet to prove anything yourself, so i could ask you the same thing.
:whatever:, that wasn't meant to be responded to. Also, for one asking people to stick with facts especially, I would say that mockery is not a strong debate topic.......

No, it means something to base your judgement on, what part of that can you not comprehend?!
As I said, you're that extreme case I spoke of.


Show one instance in which you have taken someone's opinion into consideration instead of saying "opinion doesn't matter or "prove it".


Based on probability, I would think so. Especially when there is evidence of such a memory happening.


Just like you use stupidity to confirm my stupidity :)


Maybe english majors, but the nerdiest kid in my school has made the same type of errors before as well (as for you saying claims dont say anything, you are doing the same thing).


GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

You criticize one stretching a definition to suit their needs. Why is compressing it to suit your own any better? Besides, arrogance is as arrogance does. If I had gone up to that cat and said "Ha! I am smarter than you!", that is arrogance. However, if I said "I am smarter than a cat", it is a simple comparison not meant to hurt the cat in any way. Arrogance is defined when one is trying to show superiority over an inferior. Truth doesn't matter.


No, I would just figure that there is a high chance that he doesn't like me, whether he likes you or not.


It seems fine to me, it's meant to say "You are an idiot for asking".

Nerds.

Well, that's a matter of opinion. Either way, statements about the other person's character are entirely subjective. You can call me arrogant, but you can't possibly prove it in an objective fashion. You didn't even try.

I didn't just mock you. I did it while countering your claim.

The words just don't fit together that way, Falco. You can have a basis for judgement, sure, but that's not the same as a "judgemental basis". How can a basis be judgemental? It is incapable of judging!

So what are you saying? That it's okay for you to make conclusions about me, but not vice versa?

What kind of context are we talking about here? While designing the Kaimpaign, for example, I've taken and acted on input from a number of different people. But here, now, I don't think you've said anything worth reading. I don't think I'm the only one, but that's not really important. What matters is that I think that I'm right, otherwise I wouldn't be arguing. You believe the same about yourself. You can think that I'm stubborn, but it relies on an assumption that that you haven't yet proven; that you are right and I am wrong.

You are such a painfully bad debater.

"UM I CAN'T ANSWER THAT SO I'LL JUST INSULT YOU K"

I know. About six posts ago, I think?

The point is simple: Every error is acceptable within certain circles. Your earlier lie-determination system falls down.

I have never said that "claims dont say anything". Please try to understand my posts before you paraphrase them.

There is nothing inherently wrong with making claims. But there is a difference between submitting a new point for your consideration and asserting the truth of something that's already in dispute.

Falco, the problem is that you say things like this without actually DEMONSTRATING that I am guilty of it.

Man, you just... you completely contradicted yourself. Claiming to be more intelligent than the cat == trying to show superiority over it.

As for the debate, what if the cat claimed to have a better understanding than you of some particular mathematical concept? Would that not be quite arrogant? Would it be arrogant of you to mention this, citing that you are the superior mathematician?

I didn't declare my superiority capriciously; it was in response to an issue that revolved around our relative abilities. Given that my claim was also true, there is no reason to interpret it as an act of pride. Who could be proud of being superior to you?

I imagine that's usually a safe assumption. But do you have any real evidence, aside from the fact that he disagreed with you?

And you think that meeting your opponent's responses with nothing but unsupported insults is a strong debating tactic? I essentially asked you why your declaration was valid but his was not. You have so far failed to answer this question.

This thread wins the GCC:Thread of the Year award.

Basically this argument has turned into me insulting you and you saying I can't debate, there is no point in continuing this. I definitely wouldn't mind a moderator closing this. We are WAY offtopic in our argument (started out about gs1 to gs2, now it's about us being petty)

your posts are useless, when you quit graal, stay the hell away from the forums. and btw, that wasn't me admitting defeat, that was me admitting im sick of this argument.

Read my farewell post again.

And who turned it into that?

Functions run somewhat faster than just putting in a script =o
OR SO I'VE BEEN TOLD!
But then WHY would Stefan change everything to function style if the person who told me is wrong?

You have been speaking to ignorant people.

How is 'message("hi")' more of a function than 'message hi'? They are just different ways of presenting the same thing.

For consistency, I would assume.

=O

Umm...he's kinda not ignorant. o.o'
Believe me, he knows c++, c, java, ACTIONSCRIPT, html(who doesn't?), gs1, gs2...
Oh, and he's like straight A student =/

BACK ON SUBJECT!

Can someone clearly explain the new commands, especially the GUI commands?
*looks at stefan*

I disagree. He has already proven that he doesn't understand how scripting languages work.

Stop trying to provoke/blame me, you are responsible for it as much as me.

I disagree. The whole thing happened solely because of your tendency to resort to insults when you can't counter a point.

whatever you say.....

The people who use WYSIWYG stuff and the people who hire other people to make websites don't know HTML.

HTML is becoming a better language, but it still gives me problems because you can't do anything with math in determining the location of an object unless you use javascript, and javascript hates me (meaning I only know what I've used in certain scripts, and can't figure out what to use to get what I want).

And I only know the basic things of C++. Also, I don't personally count gs1 and gs2 as scripting languages. However, gs2 is a great improvement upon gs1.

You must have a pretty strange definition.

You must not only have your mind set on learning the specific programming language, or type of code but you must also have to brain capacity to do so. If you cannot fully understand, do not try javascript or php or any language because that is used as a basis of web page design. Although graal script is getting a bit harder, it still remains to be a basis of harder languages and is as basic as you can get. I recommend you make sure you fully understand arithmetic, trig, and have the capacity to take on another language.

Although most people don't seem to think so, I consider a programming language to be thought of as a foreign language. You cannot just start French, Spanish, and Latin all at the same time, unless your exceptionally smart. You need to start with one, and then once you have mastered that language move onto the next one. As I recall I took Spanish, then French and Latin last, to ensure I made it as easy for myself as possible and to make sure I covered all I needed to know in high school.

Yo Mitch, Graal Script got easier you fool. And Kai, the reason I don't count gscript as a credible programming language is because I don't give it a great deal of credibility.
