And what's your definition of 'normal'?
I'd love to know consider you regard philosophers and theists as abnormal, everyone else as normal, except everyone on the astronomy section who is apparently abnormal
And then you state that you do not consider yourself to be 'normal' therefore you must be abnormal.
fascinating logic there! |
I respect philosophers and religion. I do not respect wack job philosophers and religious nuts, especially when they shouldn't be posting in the Astronomy section. Their interests should go in to Religion and the Philosophical Discussion.
I'm tired of the what's normal argument. Normal is what is for the mass media to hand to the public. To be abnormal is to engage in esoteric subjects. And please don't bring up Esotericism, I meant esoteric as in an unusual interest. |
Sounds to me like someone who believes what the media dish up to the masses is a good definition of normal is the wacko as well as gullible and probably ignorant.
Do you know what esoteric means? |
Well, to refine the definition I'd say normal would be following widely accepted cultures too. Conforming to a standard in America would be considered normal.
| Quote: |
| The Oxford English Dictionary defines "normal" as 'conforming to a standard'. This, although almost right, is not entirely correct. "A normal" is someone who conforms to the ideals of society. This can be for any number of reasons, ranging from the positive (genuine admiration for and acceptance of society's standard, for example) to the negative (fear of humiliation, fear of rejection, fear of being thought mad). |
I don't know what your intentions are, did I offend you?

There is no universal 'normal', everyone and everything are different and even if similar there are far too many differences to fall out with each other over that. But I do agree that the media often controls peoples minds whether you like it or not thats the truth.

There's something that's accepted among any group, and that would be the norm. If for an individual then there is no normal. I was discussing groups of people though, that's my argument against Selene.
