How smart are you relative to other CFCers?

[Traitorfish]

Nah, you're a ways down the list. http://forums.civfanatics.com/memberlist.php?order=DESC&sort=posts&pp=30

It's a weird feeling, looking at the list and wondering who on earth half of them are before remembering that there are, in fact, non-Colosseum boards on the forum.

 

[Perfection]

I'm second smartest.

You're so adorable when you lie.

Every single person on the first page has spent significant time in OT except AlanH and Lord_Iggy.

Some of us have to get to page two to find our ranking, thank you.

 

[DroopyTofu]

I'm 1,547th smartest. I have some work to do.

 

[Joecoolyo]

317 baby!

So you don't know Kael ^^?

*significant* is very relative.



Oh, I think this poll rather represents how someone sees himself in contrast to the rest of the population. At least the result displays this probably more than the real question.

...I'm not sure if this added a level of arrogance or substracted it .

When you are old enough to understand that this is nonsense, we'll talk.

"Your view is against mine because your immature and young" falacy. A intellecutal tactic as oppose to the tactics of noobs without any material to use in their argument.

When I use the word "lefty" it tends to be about loons who have no clue about economics. Righties, IMO, are people who think that mass murder is ethical. I hate them both. If forced to make a choice, I would say that the righties are worse. But both are evil.

Arr... people are evil for different paths.

As a figure of the ecomonic left I am "most honoured" with your "knowing" assement.

BTW I studied politics in A-levels and will be studying politics in university at late September. It a little point before you begin stating that I am "unknowing of the subject." I am noting this in light of your tactics.

Umm. No. Not at all. I am long since past having any ability to do the limbo. Not that I ever had much. When you get to my age, you will understand that limbo is a young man's game.

There is only one path to evil. That is statism - the belief that it is fine and dandy to steal from other people and to boss them around. My only point was that those who advocate theft in order to commit mass murder are somewhat more despicable than those who, like you, advocate it simply out of envy. But the difference ain't much. Don't count yourself superior.

English high school is it? I'm so proud of how you swallowed your propaganda from your state-paid propagandists. One day maybe you will be able to match their lies and their nonsense.

In the meantime, you might try to find a decent spellchecker. Non-natives have an excuse for bad grammar and bad spelling but you don't. Other than, of course, being an "A-level" student.

That is not what "statism" means.

I can see how some can read a couple of posts around here and assume they must be in the top 10% or certainly not in the bottom 10%.

Just how old do you purport to be? You seem to have the political opinions of a teenager in the body of a geriatric.

 

[Abegweit]

That is exactly what statism is about - theft and control. Statists love to dress it up in some fine clothes. But when push comes to shove, they shove. Hard. And they steal. Hard. Very hard.

 

[JollyRoger]

So you fantacize about statists being some sort of trangendered top?

Another lefty comes along with yet more dumbass whinings? Well done sir!

You might try to actually say something instead of spouting insults. But that is clearly beyond your capabilities. Clearly.

After the weekend I've just had, I'm sure I've dropped one or two percentiles.

You think you are being funny with these stupid comments. You really do.

Hint: you're wrong. Seriously wrong.

 

[JollyRoger]

I'll admit it isn't my best work, but it takes higher quality set-up posts for the good stuff.

Yeah, I don't have any tremendous problem with that. My point is that this isn't a category of behaviour unique to statists. You and those like you fall quite squarely into the category of thieving control-freaks, and in practice altogether more so than most "statists" do; you've just convinced yourself that your particular form of totalitarianism is somehow "free" because it lacks the formal institution of state, which is altogether more infantile than the left-liberals who are at least willing to admit that their project contains certain contradictions.

@JR

What, in your mind, is good work? A link would be good here.

As far as I have seen, your entire history has been about dull bad jokes defending worthless people bossing decent folk around.


As I said, if I'm wrong, a link demonstrating it would be good.
