Definition of "Normal"

[thetooth]

The only way its possible for someone to agree is to make a personal choice or if a larger percentage of viewers agreed as one.

This sentence also does not make sense. Is English your first language?

Yikes.

I agree, but we don't need to dogpile the guy.

*still, loved the reference.

I actuly lol'd but yeah i did not anticipate this(was more worried if spammer bots would attack the voting system).

And so what if you can't understand me on the first read? try again if your able to identify the errors then you must be able to correct them too

Your definition does not makes sense to me. In my eyes, the majority population is normal because it is the most common instance. And the most common instance is normal.

here's my opinion on this topic. everything in this world is based on your own perception. that how the world moves, and that's how it will stay. for example: a guy who believes god himself told him to kill many others to take them to the kingdom of heaven. now most people would obviously see this as a horrible act that no man should commit. but what about the guy? maybe in his mind it was a good/normal thing to do, maybe we fail to see the good of this. maybe he is right! the problem with the human race is we believe we all see eye to eye on most subjects. this, however, is not true as everyone has their own unique individual idea on what is right and wrong, good and evil, normal and strange . In this case there really is no good or evil. I don't condone my example but me not condoning it would fit with what i am talking about because i have my own perception on the ordeal. i realize people can agree on something but trying to define normal is as pointless as trying to explain the color red. can anyone do that? i know i can't.

I hope at least one person understands this.

hahahaha. i love zetsubo sensei! although i stopped halfway through the third series because it started to get on my nerves a bit. I'll start watching it again some day. i don't know if she really was as normal as they made her seem but whatever.

No. That is not true all. It is not a matter of simple grammatical error. The sentence in question just doesn't convey a complete thought.

[UBERTRON777]

Here are a couple of my interpretations of what you are trying to say. You can help me get closer later.

Your assumption is that, in a large group, there becomes a point where everyone is different in some kind of way. This would mean if a person was exactly the same as someone, without actually following them and being a sheep, they would be abnormal. It would be more normal to be different.

For there to be a normal, there would have to be a majority. In a large population, ideas are so diverse and people can be so different ideology that it is nearly impossible for two people to agree 100% with each other. Because of this, there can be no majority or at least not one big enough to constitute as a single influencing party. This means that because these people cannot agree as would be expected they are normal.

I don't know but I'm interested to hear you explain. Saying that what you are saying doesn't make any sense is just lazy.

Saying that what you are saying doesn't make any sense is just lazy.

I disagree. Communication is a shared burden between the message sender and the recipient. The sender needs to send a valid message, and the recipient needs to interpret that message properly. Ignoring channel errors, which are not terribly applicable in this situation, there are two points of failure. The sender can send a valid message and the recipient can fail to interpret it. However, if the sender does not send a valid message, the recipient cannot be expected to interpret the message properly.

If the sender is notified that the sent message was invalid, and he actually desires to be understood, the burden is then on him to send a valid message.

The fact that the sender in this case was notified and did not choose to send a valid message is informative.

No one is a complete "Sheep" as you put it. Even the most normal people probably have a few habits or interests that deviate from the norm.

I love the circular reasoning with this one; "If you disagree with me, you prove my point!"
