    I'm not arguing with your sense of humor, Economist. If you find something funny, then sure. And Demo, had you read what I was saying, you would have noticed I mentioned his orientation. I just think dude has a hugely arrogant vibe, and it really bothers me. If you think that arrogance is funny, eh, more power to you. I'd just rather watch Star Trek V five times in a row than one single episode of How I Met your Mother.

    His character is arrogant, sure. It's satirical arrogance though and more accurately called overcompensation for a previous heartbreak. Regardless, Neil himself is incredibly humble and gracious, at least from the late night show interviews I've seen. In fact, if I were to pick a short list of Hollywood actors that were genuinely good people, Neil would probably be on it.



    Rest In Peace, Old Friend.

    Wow, I don't even. You're truly a hardcore masochist.

    Lol! Actually, I don't know why people hate that film. Sure, there's a lot of dumb stuff about it, but it's not really worth hating. After all, original series Trek was pretty dumb and preachy at times, and funny for being that way. Trek V seems more like a return to that awkward, questionable writing that few original episodes overcame. It's dumb, but it has good moments, good acting, and is definitely better than all of the Next Generation Trek movies.

    Is Star Trek even worth getting into? I'm into all sorts of sci-fi. Never been a huge fan of the mainstream stuff like star wars or star trek however.

    As far as Wars goes, I understand. There isn't really anything worth watching in that franchise besides the three original movies. Well, except people say that the Clone Wars TV show was good. I haven't seen that.

    As for Trek, it really depends on what you like. There's a lot to get into, and it depends on your personality as to which you like. Keep in mind that much of it is on Netflix, so you can try it out there.

    Original Series -- this is what originally came out in the sixties. It's very cheesy, very silly. The episodes are rather hit or miss, but if you have a goofy side you'll enjoy even the famed bad third season. I recommend these episodes: I Mudd, Journey to Babylon, and Trouble with Tribbles. Those three I guarantee are good. The rest? That depends on you.

    The Animated Series -- extremely boring. Star Trek does not work with Hanna Barbera style animation.

    Next Generation -- this is the 80s/90s version of Trek. The first three seasons are kinda meh, but there are good episodes later on. Gene Roddenberry believed that people in this future age would outgrow personal conflict (hahahaha!) so some of the stories here are pretty weird, and the acting can be stilted. Still, there are fun episodes. The Next Phase, Frame of Mind, and Rascals are my favorites.

    Both Voyager and Enterprise are really boring. I don't recommend them at all.

    Deep Space Nine is like the anti-Trek. Where Star Trek is idealistic, DS9 is cryptic and doubtful. It's really fun, and if you don't like Trek as it is, you may like DS9. Bit of a soap opera, though.

    Thank you, Lady Nissa. Overcoming the sickness will make your immune system stronger, so try your best to make it without drugs.

    Theme: So be it. Sometimes my parents also think so.

    Romance: My girl is optimistic. She is tender rather than assertive. You guess I have a pessimistic worldview. That's right, and enough. It seems that the world gives me a new balance. If both of us are dark, that may consume our relationship as well.

    Typing: I like to show mercy to the weak, but it doesn't mean I root for them. In fact, it is about the feeling of superiority. What's more, the result of my Myers Briggs' test is INTJ. I get 23 points in Thinking and only 1 in Feeling. The rest of your analyzing sounds OK.

    Leadership: I am a student now. So I will test myself in my job later.

    Dislikes: Yes but not always. The standards for others should be different from those for myself. For example, I hate myself if I do nothing and just complain, but it is acceptable for me if others behave like that.

    Personality issues: Actually, I am shocked by your words. It may be too serious I think, because they can be safely covered in reality.

    Advice: OK~ I have learnt something from you~

    Notes: So, we have some differences in our judgement to the races but nearly the same to characters.

    Khalai Protoss remind me of a kind of ultimate but rigid communism , and Tal'darim Protoss have severe personality cult. However, Nerazim Protoss seem to be rational and have a big picture. You know I am not a fan of Protoss, but I do respect some of them.

    As to Terran, the Dominion is just a historical retrogression and it implies an abnormal thirst for political power. UED indicates overconfidence. Raynor Raiders are loyal and dependable, though their leader is immature sometimes.

    A perfect dictator can be a better leader than a group of blind democrats, if and only if the dictator is godlike. The Zerg carry forward this creed, so their society become extremely efficient in evolution. I have a neutral attitude to the Primal Zerg, since they evolve individualy. Without a thoughtful and united mind, their future are limited and uncertain.

    That's why I don't think it's a good way to say "I don't like Terran or Protoss. " directly. As you can see here, each race can be devided into several forces. What I dislike are the self-righteous part of human and the stubborn part of alien.

    Thanks again, Lady Nissa.

    I think this is all correct. Just as a note this is a quote I live by, "Anyone can do anything they want if they are willing to deal with the consequences."

Romance for you is not to meet some high ideal, but to find a girl that likes doing the stuff you like to do.
    I dislike Valentine's day, a lot. However, I still try to create my own blend of charm. Handmade gifts are a thing, like poems, stories, statues, and jewelry. Everything else, besides the classic romance ambiguity, is true.

No one's a better friend to those who tried and didn't quite make it. You have no qualms in celebrating other people's success. You have a very "beer" personality, which means you're friendly, open, and unpretentious. You're very crafty, and you like figuring out how things work. Not in an abstract, intellectual sort of way, but in the pragmatic, "I wonder how how this machine works" way. Basically, you investigate to gain information about what is, not to estimate that which could be. Um, ESTP, maybe? ISTP?
    This paragraph is a blend of true and false statements about myself. I admire power, human success, machines, and life itself. On the other hand, I'm not limited by my sources of motivation, I can be pretentious, and some times I like to drift into abstract subjects. I have some bad and other positive attributes from both ISTP and ESTP, but both models fail to win me over entirely. I guess I would land with ESTP if I had to made a choise between the two.

    I've always regarded standard personality tests as some kind of distortion in reality. I feel they are also quite limited to a region. Probably my past experiences with tests like this are part of the purpose I don't find them as accurate as some professionals would like to say they are. Today, I believe in direct confrontations with a psychologist. Through words I was guided into what I'm today, in 2008. I "failed" a professional vocatio exam, and was sent to the school counselor. As a summary, each test I took derailled the last in a series of six. I was ignorant of physcological profiling at the time, and they said I could do whatever I wanted to do. Of course that was a lot for a kid. This inner confrontation with myself continues and I believe it will forever. I've since investigated the human mind and made my decisions without considering absolutes. I'm also devoted into becoming a great "human", and I constantly ask myself what will my doing bring to current and further generations.

    As a more twisted belief, one that might be regarded as crazy talk, I recently found out I'm clairvoyant. While I'm not sure if I can speak to the death or practice other more paranormal ideas, I've noticed I can actually feel people. Probably, I've lived with this all my life and barely noticed the alien feelings in my heart because of my lack of reason ^^. In the end it's just one more mean for perspective. I'm not always certain where some things come from, just as eyes and ears cheat. One thing is clear though, I'm not a better person. It doesn't make you a better person. People are really negative most of the time, and contrast is important for people to care about other people. I've long since discarded personal conflicts as something to actually duel about or even take care of, because I'm constantly overwhelmed by their foolish problems.

    Mostly true, but only if I feel the person is entitled as a leader by his abilities to be a leader. I take matters into my own hands, if there's a dummy for a leader and I can actually do something as a leader atm.

However, you're usually pretty tolerant of even these people, as any person can convince you of his opposing viewpoint if his life proves that his ideas work out in real life. If his ideas don't work out, then he needs to stop trying to hypnotize you with his cliched voodoo nonsense. Words won't convince you where actions can't. And you very hate being told what to do.
    Pretty similar as well. I hate people who dwell in absolutes or single perspectives. I also dislike idiots. I like good teachers and I love history :P

You have trouble understanding that there are appropriate times to not leave people alone, and how to interact with a person whose behavior you know is unacceptable without arguing. For that reason, you generally avoid conflicts with people who aren't directly opposed to you.
    Yes, I constantly question my motivations and talents. Some of my best intentions are not represented correctly. If I'm not related to people in pain and there's another gate for positive vibes for the person I don't get involved in the feeling drama. I normaly dislike people who seem to only like hatting another group of people.

Really, you need to enjoy the beauty and oddity of life, and take a break from being so pragmatic all the time.
    Yes, this is a nice piece of advice. Some of these are being worked on, but damn it's hard.

    TY FOR YOUR TIME NISSA!

    Aw, you're welcome.

    Blade, I think I see where I messed up. While I'm never that good at guessing one's Myers-Briggs types (that's why they're in question marks up there), it appears from what you're saying that you're iNtuitive rather than Sensor. Ah, the clairvoyant thing makes sense to me. I don't believe in talking to the dead (you never know what spirits really are talking to you), but feeling people is something I've done for a long time. Have you ever...sensed the future? I've sensed things like answers to trivia questions, what people order at restaurants, and whenever my work log-in password changes. Seriously, it changes....oh, like four times a year, about, and every time it's about to change, I feel this strange feeling. Sure enough, next time I log in, new password.

    You're definitely right that sensing others doesn't equal being a better person. It gets overwhelming when you sense so much from others, and you don't know how to act with all that stuff in mind. Seriously, you do need to start thinking about God. He helps me deal with all the overwhelming emotions I feel, and the church understands this sort of thing in the form of spiritual giftings. It's called word of knowledge, where you suddenly receive a piece of information in your head that you absolutely know is true. You have to be careful with it, though. I one time sensed something about a girl and brought it up, and she got really offended at me. Sometimes the best thing to do when you sense that kind of thing is pray, because there's a time to tell people about it, and a time not to, and it's hard to know the difference.

    There's no such thing as the supernatural. I'd know, I used to perform exorcisms.

    Deep graves, deep pockets.

    Seriously though, there are not, nor have never been, deities of any kind. No Allah or Yaweh, no Zeus or Odin, no Ra or Khrisha, no Quetzalcoatl and no IFSM.
