Are you normal enough to post on iin?

You have made a strong point there, Sonny. But the denotation of normal is to correspond with the average or majority of a group. So for your responses to be accurate, you have to allow the abnormal people (weirdos) to vote and comment on your story, too. If everyone that is abnormal in your eyes makes up the greater percent of the population of the general public, they'd be considered normal because there are more of those type of people than any other..and they all act similar or do similar things. Soo, you may be normal one day and abnormal the next. It all depends on whether you're being yourself and sticking to the status quo or trying to keep up with this always changing world to fit in with the mainstream.

Your current average is 42.8, if I've worked it out correctly (add them all together and divide by the number of stories, yes?) and that's with one 100%.

So you think you shouldn't be allowed to post, huh? Interesting.

Why are you so obsessed with limiting people's freedom of speech?

I agree ENTIRELY.

I mean, apparently the vast majority of the members of this site literally believe that bestiality, incest AND pedophilia are completely normal. In other words, this site is rather worthless.

I understand what your getting at, and it isn't a bad point. But the purpose of a sight like this is to take the average opinion of everybody, and judge if its normal or not.

If you just take the opinions of the people who are perceived to be "normal" then the image of "normal" that society perceives will never change. For example, things like gay marriage, body modification, and many other hot button topics would never come to be accepted.

If only the "normal" people were left to set the norms of society, women still wouldn't vote, blacks would still have no rights, and democracy wouldn't exist. Is that the kind of world you would want to live in?

there is no such thing as normal because if there was then how come everyone is different...

I have to dissagree with you. We're "normal" or not based on the opinions of others on here, and not all of them know the facts of the situation to call it abnormal.

According to people on here, I'm an antisocial, narcissistic, sociopathic, psychopath...

Obviously that isn't true at all, my point being is that thos lables have been given to me multiple times on this site from different people, and they're wrong. So basing who gets to stay or leave on what the audience believes is quite risky.

Then there's me. It all depends on which definition of 'normal' that you use or prefer. There are many people (some very well educated) that believe that extraterrestrial life exists elsewhere in the Universe. But when I tell them that I have recently been (am in) communication with (some of) them (and offer proof of this), many of them immediately dismiss this, and label me as being abnormal. Then there are others, who also believe in the existence of these creatures, but they have turned them into various deities or other supernatural creatures, sometimes creating religions around them. Some of these people also label me as being somehow abnormal, often because they are stubbornly adament that their particular brand of religion is absolute and unchangeable. Any person, with the smallest amount of reasoning ability, should realize that not every religion can be correct, yet many of them will not admit that it is their religion that is incorrect. Again, this is not absolute. There is a basis in every religion for the existence of these creatures.

I think that most people alive today, are normally complacent with living an existence that is not real or true to the actual nature of the Universe.
So, I would have to freely admit, that in some respects I am not normal. But am I right?
Definition 3: occurring naturally.

Last time I checked my polls had an average normality of 80.5%.

If we wanted to be alienated and judged for our freakish and sometimes illegal peculiarities, we'd talk to people in real life. People come to IIN for approval and encouragement from a like minded braying orgy of social misfits and closet homos, what your complaining about is the best thing about IIN and what makes it work. You're far too normal to be on this site, stop trying to clean up our cess pool

Ahh but if we kept the posting to just those that fall under said criteria of being the 80 percenters how many of us would in fact still be here and commenting?

What is normal anyway? Working a job for 50 yrs while you slowly organically decay, at the end of the which they tell you to take a hike with a meager pension (if your lucky) to then hope you age gracefully, while not having to suffer the indignity of not making it to the toilet in time?

Well we are normal on some stuff and not sure with some other stuff so we help as we can, besides I think it's curiosity more than anything since there's no one completely "normal" out there. We are just who we are.

Whatever your opinion, nobody should be restricted on their right to vote on this site.

''Are you not normal enough to post on IIN?''

No one is normal and not one situation is the same.

I don't think it's a case of the inmates running the asylum. It probably averages out on the whole. I mean people are all abnormal in different ways. Someone with a very unusual sexual fetish could still give normal feedback in the other categories.

I got what you're trying to say but most if not every person on here actually is normal. it's ok to have your little quirks here and there but if you can go out without a lot of stares or wanting to literally kill someone you're pretty much normal. this website is more about finding how many other people do the same things as you or how unusual they find it
