A little rant for desdamona

Sylas, I saw this fact about desdamona a long time ago. That's why I became so frustrated, knowing ahead of time that no reason, no evidence, no human logic could get her to stop rambling and shut up. Call me psychic.Edited:The sad part of all of this is she is probably still thinking that we all have been brainwashed by mainstream society, which is being manipulated by the anti-christ. I believe that she is still absolutely convinced that she is the only reasonable person here. I based this prediction on her past rantings about how society has been brainwashed and the coming of the anti-christ.[This message has been edited by Lam, 04-22-2004]

Loudmouth, haven't you learned by now that desdamona is incapable of staying on topic? She will probably start ranting about how the bible is 100% true and evolution is 100% false without giving any explanation.

For one thing, I was going to ask Brad to stop doing what he's doing. I hate random messages, unless they're there purely for humor only.Regarding Joan of Arc, I just don't see desdamona having the human reasoning skills, the drive to see beyond her delusional mindset, and the courage to compare to such a historical figure. It's like comparing your local rapist with Abe Lincoln.

Sorry to be the bad guy of the thread, but I don't think this is the case at all. Yes, she is having a bit of trouble understanding the some of the concepts that we take for granted, but that is a problem that most people face at one time or other. But I think her real problem is her horrible reading comprehension skills. In fact, I don't think her reading comprehension could get her past middle school... if that.It is this fact that scares me the most, because she claims to be a homeschool teacher. If her reading and writing skills are adequate to allow her to teach, I bet I can be a homeschool professor.The only solution I can think of is for her to go back to school, shut the hell up, and listen to her teachers. An essay won't do jack s***, because she just can't comprehend correctly what she reads.Check this forum out. I am a member on this forum. Most of the members there are 12-14 year olds. Even they can read and write better than she can.

Sylas, I have to admire your patience and willingness to devote your time to such... torture.Unlike you, I am not patient at all. I can't stand ignorant people that think they have it all figured out. I can't stand ignorant people that have no will to learn.Well, my excuse for being so impatient is I'm young. I'm sure I will grow out of it in time. But for now, ignorant people that think you've got it all figured out better stay away from me.

The following response is to The Pure One from this thread.
At the risk of being wrong, here are some of my educated guesses based on what I have read so far. Please note that the following comments are only my educated guesses based on desdamona's posts so far.Desdamona was born into a very conservative christian family. I would guess that she was homeschooled, but I just don't see how she could have passed all the state exams required for homeschool people to take. Therefore, she probably attended schools that only emphasized on biblical texts and christian fundamentalist world view teachings.She probably only completed geometry while in high school with a barely passing grade (from her comments on mathematics). I would also guess that she never attended a biology or physics class that ended up with a passing grade. This would greatly explain her skepticisms about the validity of mathematics and the scientific method. This would also explain her ignorance of some of the most obvious facts; such as the fact that the speed of light was finite, "falling stars" are not actually literally falling stars, and that people don't actually "share DNA."From her actually writing skills and her claim that she used to be a poet, I would guess that she only passed her english classes with the minimum grades to pass. Further more, she probably always thought that the grammatical and sentencing structures in the bible are the correct ones rather than modern english. This would also explain her poor reading comprehension.I can safely say that she never attended an accredited college meant for higher education purposes. Desdamona said before that she was considering taking some biology and physics classes to "disprove" the fields of science. This suggests 2 things: that she never attended any bio or physics classes in the first place and that she has access to at least a community college.Anyway, after I have thought about it for some time, I now feel very sorry for her. She is very deprived. Looking back in my past, I could have been as easily deprived as desdamona is. I grew up in a similar family setting, where the only answer to every question I had was "goddunit." I was exactly like desdamona before 10th grade in high school, always immune to new information and prepared to defend the word of the bible to the death. It took me quite a while to finally got myself out of that mindset (another reason why I am such an anti-religion freak).I truly hope that desdamona's children will not end up like her. No, I do not believe desdamona will ever be able to be cured. She is just too brainwashed by organized religion to be any better.

Please clarify this statement. English is my second language, so I can't really decipher something like this.PS- If you don't respond, I will start another thread regarding this quote. And yes, this IS blackmail.

I had a feeling he was referencing to my sexuality. If this is the case, he just confirmed what I told him in another thread about Christian unjustified attitude regarding this subject.Anyway, if he wanted to offend me, he's not doing a very good job. It takes a lot more than that to get on my nerve.

I still have some doubts about WT. Lately, he's been doing some things that he should have known better. For example: quoting only parts of someone's message in order to misrepresent him. Say that I just wrote something like "I support sex education for children in school," someone like WT would quote me "I support sex... for children." Anyone in his right mind would know that this is unacceptable behavior.If he wants me to treat him seriously, he needs to stop acting like a rebelious teen and be more mature.
