~Dictionary.com
I don't think any of these fit the criteria for objective observations. They're more qualified as subjective interpretations.
subjective - adj.
1. existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought (opposed to objective ).
2. pertaining to or characteristic of an individual; personal; individual: a subjective evaluation.
3. placing excessive emphasis on one's own moods, attitudes, opinions, etc.; unduly egocentric.
4. Philosophy. relating to or of the nature of an object as it is known in the mind as distinct from a thing in itself.
5. relating to properties or specific conditions of the mind as distinguished from general or universal experience.
interpretation - n.
1. the act of interpreting; elucidation; explication: This writer's work demands interpretation.
2. an explanation of the meaning of another's artistic or creative work; an elucidation: an interpretation of a poem.
3. a conception of another's behavior: a charitable interpretation of his tactlessness.
4. a way of interpreting.
5. the rendering of a dramatic part, music, etc., so as to bring out the meaning, or to indicate one's particular conception of it.
An objective observation would be that you are a young, narcissistic male with repressed sexual fantasies about men who you view as authoritarian. You probably don't know your father as well as most men do. Your parents are likely divorced and your mother obtained custody of you and compensated for the divorce by spoiling you.
You hold your own world view in high regard and view others who disagree with you with a great deal of hostility, particularly when the views of others threaten your own. The reason for the hostile reaction is because, while you present someone who is reasonably assured, your view of yourself from the inside is teetering and capricious, much like your parents' marriage. In order to compensate for the insecurity that arises, you lash out at anyone who presents a contrary view-point, as though attacking them allows you to protect the beliefs about yourself you hold dear. You, therefore, project your own perceived flaws out onto others. |
Thats funny, you have a definition in front of you, yet cant tell what is objective about the main points I have made thus far. And much of what you quoted, arent the observations, I guess you should look up observation next (o wait you already did! LOL_). So when are you going to make a relevant point towards the topic that you are so informed about, instead of this dilly dally dictionary business? I'd love to hear it. |

Look at DJ RANN everyone.
His reaction at the mere notion of that some information about the holocaust is inauthentic. One tiny little comment, a whimper, a peep. And he explodes into a violent outraged barbarian. It suits him well. And at the same time he has the audacity to say he is open minded. He can't even take one comment that goes against his views.
And anyone here has the audacity to say America is bad? DJ RANN is expressing typical European sentiments. Just look at all his illogical accusations about me, because I said one tiny comment.
DJ RANN you are pathetic, and its people like you that give Europe in general such a bad name that is has. No one outside of Europe likes Europe that much, because of the PC attitude that people like you have. |
Europe has a bad name? :haha:
Have you actually seen any form of non-republican media in last 8 years?
Thought not.
I just call it like I see it. I saw bull, called it, on you.
You are convinced, in your won words, that the holocaust as we all know it, is a fabrication, so jews can use it as an excuse for propaganda.
Good going. Way to win friends and influence people.
Good luck out there in the real world. I hope you can kill in a single death move or run really,really fast.
Otherwise, you'll need to do what you should have done on here a long time: shut the up, but this time, it will be for your sakes, as well as ours.
And Digi, why aren't you an active mod anymore? It could help a lot with what's and who has been going on here recently.
Final point, honesty is fine, but you know there's more than one way to say the same the same thing, even if it's not polite.
Oh yeah, I got good teeth and hate tea :toothless |

Lol, I never had a tenure. I was never a mod. I don't know why everybody thinks I was. |

Denial is the first admission! ;)
EDIT: I think it's because you tend to make the most sense out of most people, here, coupled with the fact that you have prominence, sometimes as a thread-starter, in a couple of sticky threads. |

Haha. Even if I were a mod, I think I'd only be closing the outright spam/warez threads. This isn't exactly the most intellectual political debate I've read in recent history or even the past 6.8 minutes, but let people blather on - it's good entertainment for those of us who take such things less seriously.
Edit responding to edit: The stickies may be part of it. And I wish I had more time to update them, for those people who are already brandishing their hunting knives. As for sense, well, that happens everywhere. ;) |
