any ideas ppl?
not the most intelligent but the most wise

I'd go for BF or Finti (hey noone said a wise man would be a compassionat man)

Ush or Finti


I'm flattered you mentioned me Fire

lol it also has a less flattering reason

Nah, I'm well aware that I'm not compasionate, I recognize that as a strength in my character rather then a flaw however.

I ment another one, not the one I put between brackets

a secret one

ah, gotcha

Wise ?

Hmmm.....wise.

My age may finally become a positive factor now.

Can I be selfish and greedy and name myself ?

I'm sure you can.

Well then I nominate Gundark the Wise.

definately a......WISE...decision *chuckles to self*

Nice chuckle, BF.

And here I was, going to give you an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii just for endorsing me.

Oh well.....*throws plane ticket away*

but....the.....ahhhh.....


I was chuckling at my pun....not at your being wise

Hmmm...can I get that in writing ?

me obviously! duh!

Hmmm. Knowledgable - I'd say Ush. Wisest? I'm not sure. That's a more difficult call.

Id nominate Mech....
oh yeah, and Kes..Kes is wise and cool too....so...

bwah..silly question.....there are a lot of different styles of 'being' wise.
But..to name one....let's say i'd nominate corran for a sort of combo between intelect and...experience.

corran, you bastard, i hope you DO realise that that is not only the biggest compliment you'll ever get from me...it will be the ONLY one....

If wisdom goes with age and experience, than I would have to say it would be either Mech, Diegocala, Happy Kine, or maybe even myself. At least one of us *ahem* "older" members.

I can't understand why I've been nominated, you people obviously don't know me at all!

well i guess hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm well i guess FALLINGBLUE he's realy cool

Me?!
But this is my state of mind--->

I have the wisest member. What I meant was that I am the wisest member and I don't understand why no one has picked me.

I am by far the wisest 17 year old on these forums

j/k

Whatever Linds. Psh.

So glad you could agree with me Preston

Keo

Tex, now what is Keo?

a member here
oh and linds that coming from someone who doesnt know the romania is a country
you thought it was a part of texas

Corlindel says that Corlindel is the one and I am not beeing selfish

Corlindel, I never even heard of you until now and I can already tell you are far more wise than anyone mentioned.

Correction: I live in America, I know our country. That's more then I can say for you I thought that Romania was somewhere near Greece.

There is always a first time.

how do you define wise?

that's up for you to decide, but I usualy define it as being smart about things that you can not learn in school, but for which you need a certain natural born feeling or a certain amount of experience

"isn't it wiser to know a bit from everything then a lot from one thing?"

that's a part of being wise

what?

Ditto.

Wise is when you can get people to do stuff for you so you don't have to get up.

Heh. I think the answer to that one is pretty obvious. I *am* the Dark Lord of the Sith. I *have* found the true meaning of the force. Clearly, I am the wisest one here.

Okay, you win.

meh i dont bother with the states although they are right below us

Damn straight. For I am the Dark Lord. Bow before me!!!

ummmmmmmmmmm let me see here who is wise here????????????????????????????????????????????

I would have to say...

Deniro & Backfire

Yeah Backfire because he isn't afraid to speak his mind and he always has something interesting to say.

*files nails* what was that

Hmmm im very smart and so are other members here...but wise...i'd say no one. No one here is wise. Wise can mean different things. Superior in knowledge? i dunno. so im just gonna say no one.

i'd say BF

HA me wise lol jsut kidding i am wise in only four areas. Bodybuilding, Women, Eating, and Not doing illegal substances

oo and my vote goes to diegocala or TH but more diego then ne one

Wisdom is intelligence shaped by experience. Information softened by understanding.

hm sounds like someone is trying to describe me

Mech...you are wise cos..i dont know..just accept my nomination and at least pretend you are wise..just stand there and look important...

Kes...i know you're state of mind is , but deep down inside you are wise, you know you are...you too, just stand there and look wise, even if you dont think you are....

lol thanks lil.

I'd BF.
His posts are always thought out, informative and with great view. Not sure I'm making myself clear thou. And if ppl dont agree with him he respects that. No argument.

aint i wise??????? na i aint...i jus a bad influence

Kes is wise because she had a goat.

awh..i think i remember THAT just too well...

*Corrects posture - Looks important *

what's wrong with greece?

some good kilometers to the south..THAT's what!

tied hiker

HAHAHA!!

That's not wisdom. I tire of the idea that never arguing is in some way a form of enlightened thinking. Humanity would never have gotten anywhere with that mindset. I think some of the wisest people in history have been absolutely defined by the great extent to which they argued.

Nor is it in any way wise to respect an opinion that has no value.

Besides which, I saw BF's posts in the Matrix area... even HE admits that wasn't wise... awww, just joshing, BF... (slaps ass).

BF is most certainly a well-informed and thoughtful guy, for sure. But I agree with others who have said that we have a problem with defining 'wise'. Some people are most certainly complimenting certain forms of behaviour but mistakenly calling that wisdom. So this has instead become a vague exercise in saying good thiungs about some posters, not in itself objectionable but hardly the point of the subject.

I mean:

"Backfire because he isn't afraid to speak his mind and he always has something interesting to say."

No offence to Royal Jester, but that sounds more like "Who do you think is the best poster?" than "Who is the wisest member?" It was completely disconnected from the subject. Someone might easily say that being unafraid to speak your mind to that extent is a sign of folly, not wisdom.

Personally, I agree with those who have not tried to answer this. Everyone will be talking about something different. Incidentally, Fire, I would say a wise man would be compassionate.


Anyway, I hope that thing about Kes and goats wasn't literal, TH...

she wasn't wise enough to save the poor lamb and give it to me!

as said before, and you said it is very hard to define wisdom;
I think it is a very subjective thing anyways, personaly I don't consider compassion a sign of wisdom

a sign of weakness then?

hmm no a sign of emotional thinking

Hey, I argue all the time over people's opinions. I just never get to the point of bashing another person, and when I have nothing more to say I stop posting about a subject in order to avoid repeating myself.


"Besides which, I saw BF's posts in the Matrix area... even HE admits that wasn't wise... awww, just joshing, BF... (slaps ass)."

Even the wisest people need to resort to stupidity sometimes

why do they have to BF?

Frankly, it's fun

hehe, point taken

Its a sheep. Or it was.

*remembers the tragedie*
all the meat lost!

I was referring to is opinions in a movie. When he likes them he says why (very well) and thats it. If someone doesnt like the movie he doesnt start posting tyring to change or bash the other members opinion.
Funny you posted that cos I was going to say you too aside from the no arguing. Thats why it said he didnt argue.

You!

Yes me. Me, me,me.

Me too.

I hate to say it but we have to steer towards the Matrix area again... they REALLY got your goat, BF< didn;t they?

Seems to me that I got their goat, they were the ones that opened threads for the sole reason of bashing me, or trying to get me banned.

That as maybe, they made you break your own rules you posted above.

That was because they weren't responding to my statements, merely stating how stupid I was for 'not getting' the simple matrix philosophy. I had to repeat myself in order to get an actual response.

But you're right, I did break the other rule I mentioned, so I guess I should exchange the word "never" with "rarely". Because everyone messes up occasionally.

ME.

in my opinion that was one of the greatest quotes ever! nice bf

Yeah, Ush is just bitter because I got more votes them him


Just kidding Ushy babe, I voted for you, you're one of the only people on this site i actually kinda look up to and respect. But I do agree that wisdom is hard to globally define.

Well I dont know how it started but when somebody posts in a forum about that particular movie that they dont like or it sucks it usually turns bad

Kes was pictured with a sheep!!!!!!!!!!! how unwise not to see the difference

How dare you say it sucks! You big big fool! You are an insect compared to me! etc.

Those it look like a goat?
Its clearly a sheep

yeah...you are all wise bla bla etc...

despite all that i've just read, im still for Kes and Mech...i dont know...they kinda seem more down to earth...not kinda ''I AM THE GREAT ALL KNOWING ONE AND NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ME'' *in a deep movie voice*
and i am not implying that the rest are doing that, just saying....
anyway, thats why i nominate them...

Besides, i can ask Kes or mech stuff i dont know, and i wont feel dumb..they will just explain it in a kind of a ''none patronizing way''

anyway, hard to explain...but everyone gets the point.....they are not trying to be 'the wise ones'...and yeah, i know, but they still need to get nominated

Ah.. I'm touched

guess my sig says it all

I rule.

hehe

Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the life-long attempt to acquire it.
--Albert Einstein

"There are two things in this world that are infinate, the universe and human stupidity"
-Albert Einstein

"who regard themself so highly that they can decieide what wisdom is" - finti

Nazgulinthedark, you always forget the second part of this quote :

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure of the former. "
Albert Einstein

"As long as there will be humans, there will be war"-Einstein

* Quick, say something clever *

Errrrrr......Monkey see, monkey do.

go mechy

i didn't know there was a second part

Curious... I remember answering one of your posts by saying that... (because a friend of mine had told me the entire sentence) Anyway, that doesn't really matter...

lol thats wisdon mech style...hehe

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. ~Tom Wilson

ah, cermie, a very wise member indeed

no way! i am silly compared to some ppl here!

"zelfkennis is het begin van de wijsheid"

FM, storm, queeq, ... can someone translate?

I can only translate it literally but that' s not the same

yeah, that's my problem too

what is it literally translated?

So this became a quote thread?:bink:

self-knowledge is the beginning of all wisdom

very good quote

it suits you, cerm

but i'm not smart....

storm said self-knowledge and wisdom, nothing about being smart

actualy if you adapt it a lil bit it has a certain ring to it

knowing thouself is the beginning of all wisdom

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

hihi

especially if he is doing some nasty things with himself
