    Lol! It´s better you stay away from drugs :-)

    Besides, I have quit driving my car because I realize that I cannot be the best car driver in the world.

    If everyone took on this silly idea of yours then there will be no new WRs except from the current world record holder. Or new cubers. Or any cubers at all for that matter but him.

    If everyone took on this silly idea of yours then when a new cuber sees minh thai's record they'll instantly quit cubing. The world record would be a phenomenal 20ish seconds.

    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))
    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    No.1, You, say oh, i learn new algorithms! Well, are those your own algorithms that you are using? What is the point of just MEMORISING ALGS?! I'm just Can't be bothered explaining this thing any further.

    No.2, you say that it RELIEVES stress, oh come on, will you!

    I regretted about wasting at least a couple of hundred or thousands of hours into cubing...

    TRUST ME, i'll be able to rebut any of them!!!
    Okay first of all, if you don't like cubing and cannot even fathom why someone would like it, and I mean you don't understand at all with as shown by your "arguments", then you shouldn't be here. A true speedsolver would know automatically what it is about cubing/speedsolving that appeals to them. Additionally, whether you realize it or not, not everyone has to like and dislike the same things as you. People differ and it pays to have an open mind, in order to actually comprehend the different feelings different people have.

    Memorizing algorithms: People do this for a variety of reasons: to get faster, to find one that suits them better, to expand their arsenal. Why do they do it? Because they want to. If they didn't want to, if they didn't find it enjoyable then they wouldn't do it now would they? Of course, this is assuming the cuber is a normal person who doesn't start cubing just to have a world record on their name and give up because they believe that the utmost limit has been reached.

    Relieving Stress: Just because it does not relieve stress for you, doesn't mean it doesn't for another person. Once again, these arguments are invalid simply because your points are opinions that you have, and once again, your opinions are not universal facts that apply to everyone.

    let me TELL you this, the process is just the same, over and over again, but basically just using different algorithms...
    And your point is?

    plus, when i cube in public areas, people don't actually care anymore!!!
    Again, this is what you believe. Would a runner consider hundreds or thousands of hours of running a waste of time? And you cube simply to gain the praise and recognition of strangers? Hmm.

    You can't respond with your opinions because they simply don't apply to everyone. I ask of thee, open your mind a little, and maybe you might be able to see and understand what we see. Try and understand that not everyone cubes for the sole purpose of hitting a WR, people cube for a whole variety of reasons. It's a passion, a hobby, not some cheap way to look smart/talented.

    ^ I don't see anything wrong with arguing against the majority. It's his actual arguments which are moronic and childish.

    My comments are childish? Oh, wait you call mine moronic as well???

    Your comments made of SpeedSolving Forum are just rather imbecilic and doltish!!!

    No wonder cubing IS ADDICTIVE, just like ALCOHOLISM AND DRUGS!

    Please explain to us how it is possible to PROVE that something is fun for us. In any case, who are you to challenge other people's ideas of fun, as long as they aren't things that will cause other people harm?
    Also, based on your last line there, you really should not be making any comments here.

    Judging by this comparison, you see cubing as a bad thing. Why are you even here?
