I like to play Devil's advocate. I like to ask difficult questions, and I like to think that I am able to understand contrasting viewpoints. I indulge in hyperbole and metaphors. I hold logic, evidence, and reason in very high regard. I am probably more honest than is considered socially preferable. I try to be witty, but sometimes it comes off pretty awkward. I don't mind admitting that--it is a character flaw that I am comfortable with.

I run. I golf. I'm always open to spending time outdoors. I will go camping with you if that's your thing. I know how to build a fire, and I'm decent with a charcoal grill.

I am from the midwest--which makes me an outsider here. My high school was in between two cornfields. I have never heard of your favorite restaurant, but I'll take you there as long as you let me pay.

I enjoy questioning the system, the man, the process, the tradition. I have been that way since I was a kid. "Because it's the law," and "Because we have always done it that way," are not acceptable answers.

I have an objective approach when it comes to politics, and if debate is on the table, I'm down. I can use the practice.

I have been in California for a little over a year now, and I am still getting familiar with the territory and rebuilding my social life.

I was recently promoted, and now I have a great job that I can consider for a career path with a very successful company. However, I work 50-60 hrs/week so getting out of my apartment doesn't happen as often as I would like.

I'm told that I look young. I got carded the last time I rented a video game...

Not that I rent video games... Ah jeeze, you've already left my profile...

I like most music, and I like to switch it up pretty often.

'Never' is a strong word. Throw me naked in the middle of the wilderness and I suppose that whatever kills me would be on the list. If I happened to survive, I might have a better idea of the six things. TBH, this question is pretty ridiculous. Man has evolved past hunter-gatherer.

how it is possible for me to be so annoyed with some of the questions on this site.

Like this one... [Incoming Wall of Text]

"True of False? The world be a better place if people with low IQ's were not allowed to reproduce."

Let me just start by saying that this hypothetical world in which certain people "are allowed" to reproduce and certain people are not is definitely not a world I would want to live in. Even if I were OK with the "Oh, no, let us not turn into the society portrayed by 'Idiocracy,' (which I thoroughly enjoyed, by the way)" idea, we still know almost nothing of the human brain. With such little knowledge, how can we propose to accurately measure a so-called "intelligence quotient?" The accuracy of IQ measurements aside, where would we draw the line? 80 IQ? 100 IQ? 120 IQ? I guess that if such laws were in place, and these laws actually created enough fear that they prevented stupid people from having little stupid babies, then our IQ as a species MIGHT rise over time. However, would a generally smarter populace really make for a better world? I suppose we could create bigger bombs and better guns that could help us kill each other more effectively. Is that a better world?

Let us pretend that hypothetically after centuries of idiot cleansing our society finally reaches a point where we as a species can collectively agree that force is not the best tool to get things done. Then, according to the new "common law," force would not be used to prevent people with low IQs to reproduce because the initiation of force would not be an acceptable practice. The less intelligent among us would just "know" that they shouldn't have children. They would know this without being forced. And that...that MAY be a better world, but the answer to the original question would by definition be proven FALSE.

Yeah I suppose I think about that kind of stuff. I swear it is not my fault!

Asleep. I have to work early most saturdays.

Hey they asked for typical. Yeah, it's a cop-out, but why should I lie to you?

Fine, when I don't have to work Saturday, you might find me at a karaoke bar or bowling. I am atrocious at both.

I have never been to Disneyland.

Correction: I have now been to Disneyland. I am currently in the process of thinking of something new to admit.

-You think you are awesome--if you think you are awesome, then your feelings of awesome will probably rub off on me and then I will naturally feel that you are awesome also. Awesome.
-You have strong opinions on politics, economics, ethics, and other things that matter, but you can also appreciate the views of others--or you don't, but you just like to argue.
-You have something to say about my rant above.
-You are mature enough that you know what you want, and you don't play mind games.
-You would like to know more...
