Why do people call each other names?

[laminatedevildoll]

At another forum, I see people calling each other names and degrading each other because their opinion clashes with another's. But generally, why do you think some people call each other names and say bad stuff in general just because someone said something that clashes with their ideas. Why don't they accept it as only an opinion and leave it at that?

 

[Smurf]

They secretly want to have sex with each other, and they use name calling to express their frustration that they havn't realized that yet and so havn't done anything about it.

Wow, that makes a lot of sense. I never thought about it in that way. So this means that people in PF don't want to secretly have sex with each other.

 

[Smurf]

Wow, that makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, Freud was a genius wasn't he?

One word: Immaturity.

Yes, that's very true, but doesn't that sort of bother you because that one comment will always be at the back of your mind, no matter how much you try to block it out?

Well, if we just called people by numbers, it would get ridiculous after the first 10 million or so.

"Well hey there 24 163 534" just takes to long to say, don't it?

LOL. How about names such as *#$%! or even $**!?

Yeah, Freud was a genius wasn't he?

Do you know which of his books explain this theory?

Well to tell you the honest truth it's when that opinion is dangerous that people have to be put down...not in calling them names as such, but they do need to be told how stupid they are by pointing all the flaws in their opinions. Well I'm more referring to the black and white situations with actors and pop stars...trying to spread their wisdom of depriving their children of dairy and crap like that. But if it is purely a difference in opinion in something like politics or something like that, then name calling and anger is just the result of immaturity.

Politics is such a sensitive matter. People get really offended if your statement clashes with theirs.

So that's why you call me an idiot. I should have known.

Oh yeah baby...

tell me... do you like... younger boys?

 

[laminatedevildoll]

Is this a trend nowadays? Being into 'younger boys?'

One word: Immaturity.

Heh heh heh. You just called yourself immature.

I find there are a few reasons why people do this. Sometimes people get offended and angered by others, and it's just out of anger. I've been guilty of that all too often. Sometimes people call people of conflicting views names because it saves them having to consider that person's argument. It's a kind of rationalisation. Sometimes people do it in the absence of an argument because they don't know when to stop posting. Sometimes people do it because they feel inferior to other forum members. But more often than not on this particular forum, people do it simply because they like hurting other people's feelings. And so finally, some people do it to hurt the feelings of people who hurt other people's feelings (I'm guilty of that too).

Did I miss anything?

No, you covered it all.

You're jealous of my godly powers?

I knew all along...

I guess all the sexual tension is centered around you.

 

[Smurf]

I would have said a few things differently. And I think you grouped a few things un-necessarily. I also would've elaborated on yet a few more.

But you got the general drift - except the sex thing. Which is a perfectly acceptable (psychodynamic) reason.

 

[Smurf]

Well being the center of attention for all the world's major religions, and many minor ones, tends to create a certain "mystique" about ones self.

Also, it should be noted that power is sexy.

Are you implying that you are 'the' sex god? Do you give advice?

 

[Smurf]

Are you implying that you are 'the' sex god?

One true god. That includes the domain of sex, so yes.

Do you give advice?

No. I give orders.

 

[laminatedevildoll]

No. I give orders.

Orders for the betterment of people's lives, I suppose. But shouldn't people have the liberty of making their own decisions based on your advice? How do you give sex orders instead of advice?

 

[Smurf]

Yeah, and everytime I do that you go and kill each other. Thanks, but I'm going to rule the world from now on. You lot are obviously far too incompetent. Death isn't liberty.

How do you give sex orders instead of advice?

With a whip, when wearing black leather.

Where will you reside? In Canada?

With a whip, when wearing black leather.

Like the dominatrix type.

Does it apply to men too?

 

[Smurf]

Where will you reside? In Canada?

No, I just put that as my location to throw wanna-be angels off. My mortal incarnation currently resides in the center of the earth, doing battle with forces of evil and chaos.

Interesting...

Yes.

I cannot picture men in tight black leather outfits with whips in their hands. That is the role of the women (or the womanly man). It just goes against all the laws of physics (well, not really).

And this dualistic bigotry is the reason man can't be trusted to control it's self. Geeze, I mean the last time I gave a man free will he went and invaded another sovereign nation. I have to admit the whole god thing was cute at first, but now I just think he's a dink.

I see lithium carbonate in your future.

In conclusion, handcuffs are better substitutes for whips.

All this wantonness and depravity, I think it is too late for an alert.

I am not sure why this thread went off-topic in the first place.

Occasionally, having an "opinion" is, indeed, reflective of a personality flaw.

But doesn't having an opinion contribute to the diversity of ideas in that topic? As a result, for the fear of being dissed, I don't like to voice my opinions about any subject matter because I know that people will eventually find some flaw in them. And that's great because I am willing to listen to other people, about more of what they have to say. But, when their opinions are extremely biased, and I try to inform them of that, they get all rude and all up in my face.
