sidenote: if you don't want to see a refute of an irrelevant and unnecessary comment that fatass made then don't read, but fatass had to stir up shit with me for no apparent reason AGAIN

I'm only "dumb" because you don't understand me nor feel the need to try to.
I've never been cocky here in this forum about my intelligence but I believe I am 10x smarter than fatass ever will be. So he has more experience in life obviously, but coming from the community that I was raised in, the grades I had, the GPA I earned, the honors societies I belonged to, I can safely say I am almost guaranteeing I have more brains. Naperville, one of the most affluent cities in the state of Illinois. Our school district is chronically in the top five of the whole nation for years in nationally averages, fun fact: it was #1 in the world in Math and Science for grade schoolers; ahead of China. Oh, so it doesn't reflect on me huh? You'd be dumb to think it wouldn't, even if indirectly.

Yup, which is why the idea of different "races" has very little evidence to back it up. The percentage isn't even close to 50% as well, I think it is around 85 and 15.

Dude, let it go. Fresh overreacted but LJ did pick him out from nowhere, he was defending himself.

fresh needs to get over his sensitivity to LJ. that is what LJ does, he winds up those that get jumpy about it. if you want to see how he goes after people he really doesn't like, look back at some old threads involving Marich**o.

I know Fresh needs to start ignoring LJ, this has been brought up before. I just didn't want it to escalate and wind up with another bitch fest with people arguing about how smart someone is when all you know about that person is what he posts on a damn forum.

lookout123 · 10-18-2007, 02:28 PM

fair enough. but if someone posts that they are superwicked smart and as evidence they present... "i'm from naperville!" they deserve to be ridiculed.

i mean, you've been to naperville, right?

Old people are peculiar. And people are bigoted. Not news. I'm willing to forgive James Watson for his bigotry because of his contribution to science. Similar to Linus Pauling, who I think had some pretty crazy ideas towards the end of his life.

I agree--it's not news. It's more sad than anything. A super-smart guy who's losing it in his old age.

I was thinking about this, and I wonder: Do you think most people become less tolerant as they get older?

Clodfobble · 10-18-2007, 09:03 PM

I think that old people just lose their inhibitions as they get older. They decide they're tired and they only have a certain amount of time left, and they no longer give a shit what people think. They're more willing to say the things they've been thinking all along.

Plus, each successive generation has been more tolerant than the last, for a long time. They say that my generation is shaping up to be more conservative than our parents (the hippie generation,) but I'm not sure I agree. I think we're more fiscally conservative, but still more socially liberal, which is primarily where issues of tolerance fall.
