Stalemate rule needs to be abolished!

I started this thread 700 posts ago... havent checked it for months and just by chance I saw it now again... 

The thing that strikes me.... is the number of people (that play chess -- a game of intellect) commenting with utterly idiotic logic and very primitive thinking level. If these people are at such a low level, why on earth did they pick chess of all things as a hobby?  (Then again, they are stupid, so maybe its not surprising after all)

To be honest with the number of plebs in the world, Im surprised civilization is where it is .... but then again, its a handful of geniuses only that make the progress in each epoch.. which the plebs then proceed to leech off in entitled fashion.

"he must have drawn a won position, now he is crying about it"
and other such witty one liners (also note how often these comments reoccur, its amazing)... even though there is a clearly thought out and reasoned long post on the 1st page. 
This kind of reasoning is actually a reflection of the person typing such things... he is (in his primitive way) projecting what he does in his experience.. and thinks everyone else reasons like him. (this is a lack of "theory of mind" most childern aquire this level by around age 5) 

Throughout the 700 odd posts I have counted on my hand only 5 or so posters who replied with well thought out and insightful comments... its sad sad reality.

I gotta say, i agree with the OP. Yeah stalemate is easy to avoid, but something seems wrong about KNN vs K being a draw. Not only that, but the player being stalemate is ALWAYS losing. If he cant move into check his clock runs out...simple as that. Or just let him move into check and lose...makes more sence. I do agree it would make gambits much more risky, but no rule is perfect.

I, for one, am in awe of your intellect. Please don't stop with your opinion on stalemate.
Thank you. 

What makes you happy?
Valuing, Building, Creating. 

What makes you sad?

• The way most people live today... unthinking drunk wage slaves, chasing things they dont need without thinking about it. I worked for 10yrs, invested wisely and havent "worked" since Im 30.. Name one other animal which works over 8 hours in the day... (and we are the smartest animals on the planet?)
• Which bring me to .... Most jobs we have today are totally unnecessary and ridiculous (HR, accounting (there should be a flat tax only), banking (there is too much of it), I wont go on .. its obvious. These are like a civil jail, just to keep people occupied and out of trouble.
• Over population (usually the most stupid breed the most quickly)... but the more people we have, the less value the individual holds.
• Religion, superstitions... again adopted values for lazy people.
• Political correctness, multiculturalism, feminism... that most people have been brainwashed into their values rather than arriving at them for themselves (this whole stalemate debate is a perfect illustration of this point... ppl dont even think about it ... they just accept whats here and cling to it like a 3 yr old) 
• Entitled masculine women (mostly western), who think they are the equal of men... in the sense that they are the "same"
• The hobbies people have nowadays... all of it is passive (watching others doing things.. sport) or killing themselves slowly (drugs alcohol)

What do you want to change about the world?
The above answers a lot of that. 

What are your opinions about arts and literature?
Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Aurthur Connan Doyle, Gogol come to mind... 
Classics, including music... renaissance period.
Things that take a lifetime to create or master, done for the sake of the thing itself.
Now everything is "instant pleasure", "how much money can i sell it for" and throw away rubbish...
Black rappers sampling 80s songs and talking rubbish over it... it sums up modern art.

I could go on and on ... but you get the drift.

Then have the skill not to get KNN in the first place. Try for a KBN or something.

I knew he was a Nietzsche fan!  God, one more idiot that has read the most ludicruous passages of another idiot and thinks he can proclaim himself above all other men because of it.

Let's be unambiguous; anybody who reads Nietzsche's claptrap about the ubermensch and actually aligns his thought with the premise is an idiot, and one much more dangerously brainwashed than anyone who wants to live their life in harmony and with respect for others.
