Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around informal banter among participants regarding personal attributes, humor about education and qualifications, and light-hearted commentary on engineering and aviation. The tone is playful, with participants joking about their knowledge and experiences in engineering, as well as existential themes related to death and belief systems.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants engage in humorous exchanges about personal appearance and education, suggesting that these factors do not define one's worth or knowledge.
  • There are jokes about the qualifications needed to design and build an airplane, with one participant expressing doubt about their own abilities despite having a degree in nuclear physics.
  • Participants discuss the idea of flying and piloting, with one humorously claiming they would not let anyone else pilot their aircraft due to health concerns.
  • Existential themes are introduced, with discussions about atheism, death, and the afterlife, leading to playful speculation about what happens after death.
  • Some participants express a willingness to engage in risky or humorous scenarios, such as flying an airplane or contemplating suicide in a joking manner.
  • There is a suggestion that technical problems could lead to disastrous outcomes, with a participant humorously downplaying their own engineering skills while referencing political implications.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion features a mix of humor and existential musings, with no clear consensus on the serious themes raised. Participants seem to agree on the playful nature of the conversation but diverge on beliefs about death and engineering capabilities.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the informal nature of the discussion, which may obscure serious viewpoints and lead to misunderstandings about participants' actual beliefs and qualifications.

No high school diploma + grade 9 math education = uneducated.

Ok, Danger, it's time to take land. Your main problem is not your education. Your main problem is that ugly face, man!. Please go to visit a surgeon or so on!. :smile:

Good ol' Astro! Always in there with Brewski, Marlon, Clausius2, Evo, Lisa!, Moonbear and a few others to keep my ego from deflating too much.
How much ego could you have if you don't believe us! You almost now me! I'm a master in decreasing people's confidence and I never say what I don't really believe it! And you know I'm not an educated person who compare your knowledge with myself and then tell you "You know a lot" because I myself know alittle!So when I tell you, you have a high knowledge about engineering and physics, you should accept it with no doubt, right? :devil:

Right... :rolleyes: You with a degree in nuclear physics and me cashing cheques part-time for a living. Let me put it this way, honey... if I design and build an aeroplane, would you get in the bloody thing? I'd have second thoughts myself.

Perhaps because your face is uglier! :smile:

Be careful man. We're talking to each other in 'General Engineering' forum! So it's not ok to talk to me in this way, right? :devil:
By the way, who's the pilot?

Sorry, Lisa!... honesty, I forgot where we were. I'm not used to seeing you here.

That would be me. (You don't think that I'd go to all of that trouble and then let somebody else play with it, do you? :eek: Okay, a small disclaimer on that; I would just ditz about in it. Given my health concerns, any high-gee stuff is pretty much out of the question. Properly wringing it out would have to be left to someone else.)

Well, perhaps it's my fault!

You don't expect me to come with you, do you? :bugeye: You know I asked you about the pilot because I like dying with a handsome guy! You know perhaps we have to go to the hell because of commiting suicide. So we could have a nice time even in the hell! :wink:
 
Lisa! said:

Not at all; I just get mixed up between GD, PM, GP, whatever... too many initials to keep track of.

Lisa! said:

Well, there is that club that you asked abou... (never mind; that was Honestrosewater:redface:).

Lisa! said:

I'll see if I can fix you up with that autopilot from the 'Airplane' movie.

You know that I'm an atheist, but you do make it sound tempting. Anyhow, I'm pretty sure that it would be recorded as an accident. (I'd just have to put someone else's signature on the blueprints...:rolleyes:)

I'm not sure if it would be the main reason! You knnow sometimes people mix up everything because they're... :eek:

I must say goodbye to myfamily and friends because you're going to take revenge.

I'm sure we're the victims of terrorism. And well where do they want to start another war? :rolleyes:

There is that...

Just close your eyes and grit your teeth; it won't hurt a bit.:biggrin:

Lisa! said:

Can't be. No one could ever get close enough to plant a bomb, and no matter how hard I pedal I'm pretty sure that I can't generate enough heat for a SAM-7 to lock onto. :approve:

I think it's a closed thread by now.

I'm not afraid of death, man. In fact, I look forward to dying. Because I want to die when I'm happy. But you should be afraid of it since you don't have any place to go after your death. Where would atheist people go when they die? :rolleyes:

Oh man. They don't need any logical reason when they want to accused someone of being terrorist or stuff like that. I know we will die because of technical problems. I mean you don't know how to build a aeroplane but it's ta good opportunity for politicians...

In my case... up in smoke, after the donor programmes are through with me.

Lisa! said:

Actually... I do. :redface: I used to belong to a club that did it for fun. I wouldn't expect anyone else to trust me at it, though.

Anyway, you can't be with me, can you?

I trust you if I'd ever decide to kill myself. It could be an interesting way to die. :wink:

If you really want me to be with you, you can take up smoking and put me in a pipe. :approve:

I beg you pardon? :eek: As a matter of fact it was you who wanted to be with me. Remember? So I think you can believe in my God and then perhaps I put up with you because of him!(I don't promise about that.) o:)

How about if I just fake it? After all, the ex-from-hell got away with it for years... Well... not the religion part...

Fake it? Then they'd send you to the hell and tell you here's heaven! :rolleyes:

Is that a 'yes'? :biggrin:

You can think that is ,if it makes you happy. o:) Because I must be too cruel not to let an ugly guy to be happy with his dreams about me! :wink:

"They say that dreams are real only as long as they last, but couldn't you say the same thing about life?"

So it must be excellent not good.

I've never heard that quote before, but I agree with it.

Back to your hovel, you decrepit interloper; we're trying to have some privacy here. (Besides, it's a slow thread.)

Yeah, don't think I didn't see you flirting with the gay guy yesterday. There is no way a straight guy could get away with that...

I don't think it counts as flirting when it's with a gay guy. :rolleyes: I think it's more like comparing notes. :biggrin: Are you worried? Jealous? :-p :smile:

Who on Earth would waste a perfectly good request on something like this?
