With me I'm a great writer but my spelling isn't that great.[/quote]

You can't be a good writer without excellent spelling. Just as you can't be a good surgeon without knowledge of anatomy!

(sigh) Okay, I'm getting a bit fusterated now.


I'm not sure if I'm making what I'm saying clear on this thread or not.



1. Everyone has the freedom of speech, including complainers unfortuatly.

2. Everyone has their own opinon. Intellegant ones and unfortunatly unintellegant ones.

3. Can people be offended over art? Yes. Even a Cartoon? YES! How far can a cartoon go to harm someone. The answer is none because it's only a drawing. It's the persons reaction that goes far. They are the ones who are NOT emotionally stable or intellegant enough to reconize that it's only a drawing. Sometimes people get so caught up with their own opinons, they don't stop and see the LOGIC and REALITY of the TRUTH!


(sigh) I guess this discussion can go on for days and days.

Thinking VS Feeling

and it will never go anywhere.


I can see not a lot of people agree with me.

So maybe it's best if we all end this discussion before it goes out of hand. But that's just my opinion.

I can't stand unintelligent people as well, yet they are the ones getting all the attention.

A fella from my hometown had a bleed in his brain and is in hospital. He is very lucky to be alive, and it's great to see that he is doing well. This guy is nice, but he is also a little of a frat-boy, just about every picture of him on facebook has him holding a beer.

There is a update site about him and there are close to 20 fundraisers set up for him!

This is what I don't get.... what is the money for? Our healthcare is free, his family is wealthy, he is not married or has any kids.

My brother is another good example, he is a reckless spender, he owes money to everyone. I am the butt of his jokes, and he is soooooo NT that if you where to say something insightful to him, he will just laugh and say 'yeah...whatever' and his buddies will high-five him.... makes me ill.

He was in a bike accident 2 years ago and was in critical care for a week, the doc said that he will be just fine and the life support is only for the collapsed lung... he assured us that there was nothing to worry about... yet relatives from accross the country flew in for a day, my mom even discouraged them from coming because my borther was doing good and was going to be ok.

I KNOW for a FACT that if something like that happened to me, only my parents and a few friends would show up. My brother is favored by everyone... and I cannot understand why. Even my aunt showed up for his wedding and not mine had the nerve to complain that I did not send her a photo, she did not even send a card. She even made a speech at his wedding going on about he is the 'first' in this and that.

The only way people would look at me in the same light as my brother is if I won the lottery.

I think some people just have the gift for being the center of attention, just like some people are intelligent.

Well, one problem is that if you were as intelligent as you apparently think yourself to be then you'd recognize the logical errors/missteps in your original post and the notions underlying it.

Another issue is that you seem less frustrated by "un"intelligence (whatever that is) than you are by a perceived lack of social acceptance. Sounds to me like you'd be a lot more relaxed if you felt that your own "intelligence" were "recognized" and "accepted." Your obvious bitterness and jealousy over the "brain bleed" person and their fundraiser is pretty illustrative of this.

Can you not see how your reaction to that person's situation and the responses of other people to it--regardless of what you think of it, etc--actually just makes your own situation dramatically worse? Even if you don't speak it, by harboring it (the attitude) you are setting yourself back ten steps with respect to the things you ought to be working on.

First off...if you (or I, or any other person) are genuinely "more intelligent" than other people, then you are statistically already, virtually by definition in fact, going to be at a very narrow end of the population wedge.

Think of it this way--If you are more intelligent (have I asked "whatever that means" yet?!) than 98 percent of the population, then that means that you are likely going to be one of only two people with the correct answer to a given "intelligence challenging" question. So...what does this tell you? That you should be angry and bitter for being "so alone" in your brilliance? How can "they" help being less intelligent any more than you can help being more intelligent?
Get what I'm getting at?

Really, no matter where we fall on the intelligence scale (whatever that is), our "cohort of similarly intelligent beings" is going to vary...and the more (un)intelligent you are, the smaller/narrower the group of people "left" to "be in your category/rating" is going to be as well. Think of IQ in Bell curve terms....the really "dumb" people are one small thin narrow end of the catchment...the "average" people are the huge upsweeping curve in the middle...and the really "smart" people are again within a very small catchment.

Point is....if you are really "anything" you are going to be in a very small group compared to the rest of the average plus below average "anythings."

Would you change your answer on a test just because you were only one of two people giving that answer? Hopefully not--hopefully whatever answer you give is a reflection of your understanding/comprehension, not of your desire to be in the majority...and by doing so, when you get a 98 percent on the test (especially a test that has been curved to reflect class trend) then one "thing" that your own test score is telling you is that overall you were "in opposition to" 98 out of 100 people who took the same test.

The point is--and I'm probably not articulating this very well because I'm rather unintelligent --if you really are smart, then you had best be prepared to "go it alone" a lot in life....but unless you CHOOSE to resent your "alone-ness" it isn't the slightest problem whatseover...

...which brings me back to my original "suggestion" for you: spend at least as much time genuinely trying to understand other people and even make allowance for whatever defects you believe them to have as you do lamenting their inadequacies/stupidity and/or extolling your own brilliance.

AS describes YOU...it does NOT describe THEM. You cannot control THEM (especially if they're really that stupid , but you can at least work on controlling YOU.

AS isn't a crutch or excuse for antisocial (mis)behaviors, and using it as such doesn't help anyone, not even the person (mis)using it in such a counterproductive way.

Oops...sorry, OP: I just noticed that the whole brain bleed discussion came from another poster, not you. My bad (told ya I'm not that intellegant [sic]!

...but the principles apply. How can you/I/others feel sad, alienated, left out, etc, when our starting point is how much more intelligent we are than others AND castigate those "others" for what we assert to be their deficiencies? It's like calling your kid stupid--doesn't make him/her any smarter, and it sure makes them a whole lot less interested in acknowledging your supposed brilliance or "right"ness.

"They" might not be able to "help" being wrong/dumb, but you and I can certainly "help" when it comes to doing a better job of recognizing that it is not just WHAT we say/think but HOW we express it.

A steak or pizza dinner might be wonderful...but if the server comes and throws it into our laps or onto the floor, the wonderful quality of the food has been compromised by the manner in which it was delivered. Same with "rightness" and "wrongness."

CAPS? nocaps?

interpunctuation, blank verse will do?

mis/s/spelling Miss Spelling, whispering mispeling...

RHYME & REASON (oops: rhyme&reason)

and an ENTIRE thread to show the difference between a birdie

and the difference between 'intelligence' and W.I.S.D.O.M.


inanely-aspiciously/toxically@robert0.iii

it is not so much the unintelligent people that i can not stand.

it is the ignorant people revelling in their ignorance and refusing to learn that annoy the carp out of me.

(yes. i said "carp.")

That comic strip sounds funny LOL! It reminds me of creationism.

Stupid people are like slinkies. They may be useless, but it sure is entertaining to watch them tumble down a flight of stairs.
