Sim_Player 1,939 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Darth, I used to think that you were intelligent and well informed, until now. Make fun of my flat face, long chin, short gate, big ears all you want. You will never be a TRUE Saiga-12 Member! (Scampers away..) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 "An online survey by a group of Canadian researchers suggests that Internet trolls are more likely than others to show signs of sadism, psychopathy and "Machiavellianism": a disregard for morality and tendency to manipulate or exploit others." Uhh, they lost me right there. Fuck 'em! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolverine 10,360 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Taking a valid survey is a science. Internet surveys rarely meet the standards of scientific validity. In other words they are pretty much worthless and can be made to say or imply almost anything. Think semantics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 As I read that I felt as if I was being trolled. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Machiavelli has really gotten a bad rap. Anyone who has read his work knows that he is not all evil, but his name is used in that context every time. It's really a shame that he is remembered that way, he was just a lover of history. He only stated what had worked and what had not worked to hold power. Merely observation. I have yet to meet a troll. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
