I will call you pretentious because thats what you were being, and sometimes its far prevalent on this site, and dingleberry dont be a dick

@TGM unless you take the view that people who have sex at a young age are well having sex so don't need to look at porn as much as people who are not having sex

sorry for triple posting, i knew what he was getting at just the sentence bothered me

Trim, so you can call TGM 'pretentious' but don't like when I infer you are either silly in defending TGM? ( I know you understood the sentence, so I am not inferring you are stupid, just silly)

Do you really think that using the word "causation" pretentious, when it is the commonly used term in logic?

Gawd, if we aren't allowed to use normal terms I'm going to have to start calling integration, "finding the formula for the area under the graph", or to be safe, "finding the thing that turns the numbers along the bottom into the size of the space between the curvy line and the bottom-line"

ok this is fairly ironic or im actually being stupid but i dont think that sentence made sense dingleberry

It must have been in that poorly conceived and executed video SSRF linked to in here where it mentioned porn is evil. But yeah, I guess I fed a troll. Bad Rob! Don't do that again!

@TGM your proving my point thankyou

"@TGM unless you take the view that people who have sex at a young age are well having sex so don't need to look at porn as much as people who are not having sex"

Yes, but I doubt that that's the case.

@Ghost +1000000 for making me laugh so hard. The second phrase for integration is priceless!

why?

sorry that was at TGM

@troll101 ...er... trim101 - He was saying that there were apparent correlations between early sexual activity and viewing pr0n, but that the cause was not the pr0n (as the interweb net people type it).

trim, seriously, what the fuck are you on about? I'm just using the language in a normal way to say what I mean. Seriously, just because I have a different vocabulary to you doesn't mean I'm pretentious. At least I don't have a holier-than-thou desire to go around correcting people for their English (even criticising it when its correct).

@trim101
@TGM your proving my point thankyou

Actually Trim, I think you are proving mine.

Yes, but I doubt that that's the case.-i was asking him why he doubts what i said, he never posted any links/proof to show the correlations so im assuming its his own opinion, which is far enough, but i was asking why he thought that. There is nothing trollish in that at all.

But if you are talking about when i was questioning his first sentence i said i understood what he mean

*meant. @Ghosty Yes, but I doubt that that's the case-why?

and if you and dingleberry dont see how your being pretentious then fair enough you dont see it, i just think you are

Its my opinion that those teenagers who have sex probably don't have any problems with pornography, and so watch that as well.

ahh i see what your saying, so it has no real link with sexual gratification, i mean with "frequency"

You seem to think that using one word, in this instance "causation", or even just defending the use of it makes you pretentious. I doubt that there are many learned people who aren't pretentious under your standards.

look i tried to leave this and get back to the topic so im not going to respond to your last post Ghosty

'learn-ed'? Now you're being pretentious. I believe you mean 'educated'. :P

I've never understood the term educated/learned, who does it refer to guys? Am i educated/learned? I've been to uni and count myself therefore educated, not really learned though. Sorry am just wondering who the term refers to. Cheers

@Dingle +1000 for making me laugh (but not as much as Ghost, sorry)

Biddis hit it on the head. Norm from Cheers was a learned man - who also like his beer. :)

Damn, it wasn't Norm, I meant Cliff. :P

If "pretentious" is to be defined as "not typing in text-ese", then colour me guilty.

BAN HIM BAN HIM BAN HIM


Lol I'm kidding.

Personally I hate it when people call me pretentious because of the words I use. You don't see me saying to other people that they sound like simplistic idiots because of the words they use. It's not my place to judge someone by how they talk. The only time I would say anything is if I didn't understand, I would just ask them to explain what they meant.

Likewise if someone asks me to explain what I meant by something, I'm always more than happy to oblige. I'm not really sure why saying "correlation is not causation" is pretentious. That's like... a phrase that people use. Even if cause DID mean the same thing (which, though really close, it doesn't), it wouldn't be the same thing here, since it would make the phrase that everyone knows less rhyme-y and alliterative.

So... anyway back to porn.
