I am logical enough to agree with the OP that doo dah slow walkers irritate the hell out of me when I want to get somewhere and their rotund posteriors are in my way. I am also logical enough to realize that the OP is aware of the misspelling. When I am in the DeYoung Museum, on the other hand a slow perusal with frequent stops is indicated since the viewing is the important part.

Im logical to the extreme. It goes as far as it replacing my emotions.

Depends on what you mean by logical. I think I am logical, but other people don't because my logic is too complicated for them to understnad. And then I think, if my logic is that complicated, is it really that logical, or is it illogical?

I use logic to try and understand other people's responses to things. It works a lot of the time. When it doesnt though I get really frustrated.

I can't stop using logic. Sometimes people appreciate it, sometimes not.

I am logical to the point where I often use logic in place of emotions. I thoroughly analyze all of my emotions as well as the given situation, and I react the way I feel is most appropriate. Especially when I'm angry.

Like usually, the thing that gets me most angry is when a belligerent person is really close to my face and won't go away. They are trying to start a fight. Here is when my logic kicks in. "Hmm, this person is in my face, and is making me feel angry. Usually, when someone is angry, they yell. But yelling is the illogical thing to do, because this person is very close to my face; therefore, I need only to speak in a quiet, calm voice, as they will be able to hear me."

But my mom and my brother hate it. They say I act like a robot. They actually want me to yell for some odd reason. But I think it's pointless. Why should I yell when you are very close to me and can hear a whisper just as easily? :roll:

Yes logic overthrows everything for me. When I do start to feel/express an emotion, even in private, I wonder if I'm feeling that way or doing that because that's how I should feel/express.
I really hate pointless things, and that tends to a a bit in school. I even dislike it in movies. I was watching Night of the Living Dead and I liked it, then at the end to only survivor is killed because they think he's a zombie. And so no one knows what took place between the group so its as if it never happened. I similar way to look at it is, if a tree falls in a forest and no one can hear it does it make a sound? My response is that it doesn't matter whether or not it makes a sound or not since no one is there to record the event.

I am illogical. My parents divided by zero. Now I'm here.

Oh, yes exactly! I dislike most horror movies because I find that they are usually very stupid and do not make much sense.

Recently, my boyfriend showed me The Grudge, because he thought is was the scariest movie he had ever seen!
Well, I watched it all the way through and didn't even flinch. All it was was a wierd woman and little boy dragging around, hiding in corners, and making wierd noises. How is that scary?! !
I just found the movie to be very boring.

I don't know that I'm very logical.

I also don't know that anyone really is: There's more instinct (which may have logical reasons to it, but doesn't actually go through a logical thought process) to people than we're accustomed to thinking about. And I have heard many things described as "logical" that rested on some pretty false assumptions (which is a problem with logic, if the assumptions are wrong, then everything else falls apart too).

I am logical because thought is more easily understood than emotion and precedes it. When I try to understand why people do the things they do, I often fail because I am using logic, and they are not. Also I can't stand people at college who not only walk slow, but stand in groups or sit in the middle of the hallway or stairway. I think I should also get a tape recorder to show how insanely loud women are in bathrooms.

I'm not sure a true divide between "logic" and "emotion" exists, except on Star Trek.
