What do you consider 'social skills'?
This one really ticks me off because I feel like average ppl think social skills = being fake so others won't hate you. This is pathetic. This, I would consider 'networking' for advantage, like job opportunities. It helps you develop 'contacts' not friends. It's no more 'social skills' than manipulating people is 'relationship skills'. Social skills are, fundamentally, about consideration of others. This does not automatically mean you accommodate everyone, but that you make an effort to understand different perspectives and try to treat others as you would want to be treated. It irritates me because the implications are that somebody who isn't 'fake' is fundamentally lacking social ability and that is just not true.

I am a firm believer that talking trash or teasing people is good for them. True confidence does not come from affirmations it comes from pride. I do treat people as I want to be treated and I tease everyone untill I think they just need a break or are to weak to handle anything at all. Just like muscle gains at the gym you start off slow and work your way up to heavier weights but rest days are important. You do not have the skinny kid start at 400lb. Obviously this is not a common practice and some people even encourage to let skinny kids stay weak and defenseless (metaphorically). So there is a good portion of people, I can't get along with but those that have real confidence can handle the truth too which is one of the greatest benefits to being strong in this way. If good social skills is the test of quality relationships then this is a great social skill. If a good social skill is measured by how often it works this is a horrible one. Frankly my honesty and sense of humore keep most people away from me so it is fair to say I don't have or care for "social skills" but those that are close to me are worth more than the rest and yes superior.

What is proof?
I frequently see people talking about scientific proof, and it fascinates me because one of the first things we explore when discussing science is that there is no such thing as proof. Now of course, this is specific to science, but as we develop and learn theories adapt and change so what was once... read more

Let's have a debate about God:)
I'm of the opinion that if there is an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient god then we cannot have true free will. I think the concepts of "omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent god" and "free will" are mutually exclusive... which is to say that having both would be a violation of the law of... read more

The Black Community in the United States.
The news constantly complains about how the black community is under privileged. The black community wanted equality, but that is not good enough, now they want privilege on top of it? 99% of the population is just normal, with no privilege. The news makes it out that things are not fair... read more
