[SP] What annoys you about non-SPs?

[6sticks]

Yeah, I'm a huge libertarian. The only thing that should be enforced is the right to life and property. Everything else can just go down the drain.

If anything, we need a better society not a bigger government.

SPs get that live and let live philosophy, the other types go for the "wouldn't it be great if everyone did this" philosophy.

Yeah, I think a recurring thing is the other types using the word "should" a lot more. I mean, obviously, SPs use the word, but not in such an insistent way where we assume we know what everybody SHOULD be doing. It's usually more like:

SP: Dude, you should totally try one of these milkshakes. It's so good I almost peed on myself.

Other person: Nah, I'm fine with my unflavored nonfat ice milk.

SP: Okay, whatever....

I second that!!!!!!!!!

 

[rhinosaur]

A lot of this stuff is really accurate. One of the main things that annoys me about non-SPs is their devotion to political causes. They spend so much time trying to create new laws and enforce their own beliefs on others in the name of their pet theory or for "the common good". Any time I have to deal with anything political it's always to try and minimize the effect of a law. SPs get that live and let live philosophy, the other types go for the "wouldn't it be great if everyone did this" philosophy.

Yeah, that sums up a lot of my beliefs as well. The only issue I have with libertarianism is its lack of environmental protection measures. In that regard I prefer socialist philosophies like the national park system in the USA.

Agreed. I like to think of myself as a rational libertarian...think about the pros and cons of govt involvement in something, if the govt should be involved in it, and if it would be significantly better even with factoring in their typical incompetence. I'm also for having the government involved in as few things as possible. Need vs ideal want so to speak....FDA? Good. Giving hundreds of billions of dollars to farmers to preserve jobs and keep production here? Not good, even if the concept somehow sounds like a positive, the question is, is it a role the government should have? My answer is no.


Anyway, it's an easy way to move into the topic of this thread....

My problem with non-SP types, is that many are too rule, law, and society bound, and think others should be the same way....

Examples with a typical opinion from other people I've found and a response from me:

"We can't do that because we aren't allowed to."
"So what? No one actually cares if we break it."

"You should do this because it's what's everyone does and you won't fit in if you don't".
"I don't care."

"Don't do that/You shouldn't be allowed to do that, it's too dangerous"
"I knew that already, if I was concerned about it, I wouldn't be doing it"

"I'll pray you one day find Jesus and join me"
"I did already, he's the mexican night janitor at work. Oh, you meant that guy from a couple thousand years ago? Save your breath." *This is the only example that's an exact quote on both sides.

 

[Tyrant]

All my friends are SPs. Let's see ... that's about three people. ISFP, ISTP, ESFP, need one more to complete the set.

*raises hand* oooh! ooohh! ooooohhh!

 

[wolfy]

Sometimes non sp ask too many questions. I want action!

I ask a lot of questions

 

[Snuggletron]

but...do you want action?

 

[StephMC]

but...do you want action?

Hm... good point. Yes sir, I do.

 

[Jeffster]

Hm... good point. Yes sir, I do.

I'd like to give you some action.

 

[simulatedworld]

I'll film it and sell it to the INTPs.

 

[wolfy]

Hah! Depends on the questions. Curious questions are great, questions that kill the flow and destroy momentum are not.

Give it a go! See what happens! That's the best way.

But not before me!

exactly, man. I can't stand that shit. Just let it play out, only ask the questions that you absolutely need answers to before you get whatever done. To me it's like some people like talking about doing things instead of actually doing them. What's the point in that?

This happens at work, too. Like I've said before, the managers will come by and ask what's going on and then everybody tries to develop a plan of action. I can only stand this for a few seconds. After a bit of it I just walk away and go do something about it (and sometimes ruin their plans in the process )

Although I will admit sometimes it helps to think things out a bit before you do them. Just not my strength, is all. The situation might say, "Think," but my body's saying, "Go," and won't leave me alone until I start moving.

I don't think the non-SPs really understand our drive.

Hahah.. yeah, I'm definitely a curious question kind of person. All my questions are an attempt to understand a person/process/object, not so much about things I'm about to do. I usually start drilling out questions when I'm -unable- to act. Like, when I'm sitting around doing nothing with a friend. I have a tendency to observe behaviors/actions in people, wonder why they did it, and store my question to ask them later in a more appropriate situation/ time about it. It's like my own personal study on human behavior later.

My best friend's ISTP girlfriend does this. She's an observer but when something puzzles her she doesn't just take it all in and instinctively put it all together (something I'm use to doing) questions have to be asked, no matter how rude...

like she's puzzled as to why I spend my time doing certain things, then she asks what I do in my spare time since I don't have a girlfriend or a "real" job. lol.

So, seriously... what're you doing Friday?

Hahaha... I'd like to say I have more discretion that that, but I find myself slipping up from time to time

The same thing SP's do every Friday. Use your imagination. ... Wait, on second thought, I wouldn't recommend it.

I was imagining a quote from pinky and the brain was going to rear its head, there.
