Austin T Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Are you just really wanting to rebuttal? In case I offended you or came off the wrong way I'm sorry but it looks like your just trying to poke a response out of me for no good reason.
Danno Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Are you just really wanting to rebuttal? In case I offended you or came off the wrong way I'm sorry but it looks like your just trying to poke a response out of me for no good reason. Just wanting to rebuttal? That makes no sense. Rebuttal is a noun. One can't noun. One can rebut. That's a transitive verb. To rebut is "to prove (something) is false by using arguments or evidence." I guess you could say I was rebutting your judgmental but unsupported assessment of other peoples' mental health by questioning your academic qualifications to diagnose in rather sweeping terms based solely upon short, isolated phrases posted on a model car forum. But, no, you certainly didn't offend me by your post or what it demonstrated. No, I'm not trying to poke a response out of you. (First of all, you're not the type I like to poke.) I was merely trying to illustrate the fallacy of your overarching and ill-informed diatribe. The post you poked about may have been inappropriate, but your response was, too. Two wrongs don't make the second one right. You obviously totally missed the point of my post. In other words, stick to what you really know, think before you post, and don't jump sharks. And, PS: Before you lather yourself up some more, be advised: I have nothing against you and I'm not trying to provoke you. Go forth and be cool.

You try to hard to sound Smart and cute. I mean this nicely and have no ill will. The use of large words incorrectly does not make you sound smart but the opposite. If I guess right you will come back with a long statement using the biggest words you can. No need I just trying to say this as kindly as I can... I try to like everyone and seldom be negative ..

I have too many miles on the ole odometer to be considered 'cute' any more, Carl, but I am smart. I use all words correctly, large or small. I'm sorry if "large" words offend you. By the way . . . it is "too" hard, not "to" hard. Even the small words will trip you up if you don't use them correctly. Sorry if this is too long.

Maybe all of the dialogue makes you feel better. I am just being honest and not trying to be hurtful. I have nothing else to add. Not looking to argue, no need for it.

James2 Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Going to school makes you no more educated than sitting in a garage makes you a car! Let your yes be yes, your no, no and your words few. Better to be thought a Fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt... Those who don't understand these irk me every day.
southpier Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 every time I think I'm the biggest barnacle on this hull, someone proves me wrong

Harry P. Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Going to school makes you no more educated than sitting in a garage makes you a car! That makes no sense. Of course going to school educates you. That's the whole point of going to school... to get an education.
JunkPile Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Just because one goes to school don't mean one learns a dern thing. It don't work by osmosis. Effort required
Harry P. Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Just because one goes to school don't mean one learns a dern thing. It don't work by osmosis. Effort required How much you learn depends on you, but even the densest lamebrain will learn something by going to school. It's impossible to go to school day after day and not learn something. And what does osmosis have to do with learning? Of course learning doesn't work by osmosis. Osmosis has absolutely nothing to do with learning, it's a totally unrelated process that doesn't even apply to humans.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Osmosis has absolutely nothing to do with learning. I believe the phrase "learning by osmosis" was used as a metaphor for just being in an environment and absorbing at least SOME knowledge of the environment, simply from being exposed to it...exactly your concept "It's impossible to go to school day after day and not learn something."

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Osmosis... doesn't even apply to humans. Just to clarify...osmosis IS a very important part of biological activity, including in humans. This wikipee entry is consistent with my understanding of the relationship... "Osmosis is a vital process in biological systems, as biological membranes are semipermeable. In general, these membranes are impermeable to large and polar molecules, such as ions, proteins, and polysaccharides, while being permeable to non-polar and/or hydrophobic molecules likelipids as well as to small molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and nitric oxide. Permeability depends on solubility, charge, or chemistry, as well as solute size. Water molecules travel through the plasma membrane, tonoplast membrane (vacuole) or protoplast by diffusing across the phospholipid bilayer via aquaporins (small transmembrane proteins similar to those responsible for facilitated diffusion and ion channels). Osmosis provides the primary means by which water is transported into and out of cells. The turgor pressure of a cell is largely maintained by osmosis across the cell membrane between the cell interior and its relatively hypotonic environment." Edited August 16, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy

Osmosis doesn't apply to humans as far as learning or education. It's a biochemical process that has no connection to human learning, Nothing can be learned "by osmosis" any more than you can learn about a subject by sleeping with the textbook under your pillow.
