Intelligence is a curse.

[##spiderbaby##]

Funny you should mention this; I was just talking about it with my father today. Keep in mind that while it seems there are a lot of morons, and there are, most intelligent people do not act superior to others so sometimes it becomes a little difficult to tell a "regular" from someone you could carry on a legitimate conversation with.

The trick is to talk to as many people as you can. It’s always a numbers game in life.

Hell, I am not a genious by any means but it just gets really frustrates me dealing with slow people sometimes.

It just kills me that some people never think outside what they are fed on a daily basis.

We have brains for a reason.

It's funny, I was talking to my ex on the phone when I clicked on this thread, and then I told her to listen cuz this is exactly how I feel when I talk to her. I read off all 8 lines, and then she got really quiet, and said she wanted tolet me go. The best thing that's happened to me in a long time. Hopefully that showed her how I feel about her, and she never tries to contact me again.

Ignorance truly is bliss. I can honestly say there are plenty of things I could be perfectly content not knowing. We won't go into specifics of course.

Oh yeah, stupid people suck. Did I mention that yet? Some people just can't be dealt with no matter how hard you try. But we try and try again anyway.

i have to agree with you about this topic. I'm considered a very intelligent person (1560 SAT) and i get so damn frustrated tring to have a conversation with a total toolbox!! I also have noticed some other observations through life that seem to really get my blood pumping. First is the whole religion deal, i feel that we all turn to fertilizer, and that the main purpose of religion is to make people that can't understand some of the basic physics of nature feel more comfortable with the whole death is inevitable idea. Not that i'm downing religion, i feel that it provides a great structure for people to live their life and treat people but i HATE when it gets crammed down my throat!! Also intelligent people have some problems socially relating to most people. Case in point: I have a friend who is a mildly intelligent but has a great ability to communicate with others and get them on his side of an arguement. He will start an arguement with me about something in which he has no clue as to the real science behind it and when i pull out paper and pencil to prove that he is VERY wrong he just makes smart ass comments and get others to laugh along with him while trying to dispell my mathmatical proof of the situation. He does this only because he has no idea of what i'm doing(i'm an engineer) and is totally unable to follow it so therefore i MUST be wrong. DAMN that pisses me off how he would rather be completely ignorant about the whole deal that spend the 15 minutes for me to give a logical explanation of the science behind the situation. This also will almost exclude me from "the group" because i get so frustrated with him i can't think straight. Lastly, intelligent people (or at least me) have their brain working around the clock. I never have a moment were i'm not thinking about something and that tends to get me in trouble because of just like going over and talking to a girl when were out i will sit there and way over-think the situation instead of just going overthere and being myself. Anyway thanks for letting me vent on this subject and sorry if i offend anyone in the process.

because...

1. Ignornace is bliss. (so true)

2. Intelligent people are the minority. There are fewer people you will be able to relate to and/or discuss certain issues.

3. Intelligent people tend to overthink insted of simply acting.

4. It's assumed an intelligent person will and should carry more responsibility than a dumbass.

5. The frustration of trying to explain something to a stupid person is tantamount to torture.

6. Intelligent people are more prone to spells of depression or even be chronically depressed.

7. The "gift" of intelligence also means you have enough brain power to realize how bleak and miserable this life truly can be. (see points 1 and 6)

8. Intelligent people tend to question what they are told more often since they realize there are very few, if any, absoltute truths.

I wanna be a dumbass.

So....who told you all about this?

You know, in a Time magazine poll in the mid 80s, almost 90% of the respondents felt that they were more intelligent, and better informed than the majority of the population.

A lot of those people are here, now, on this thread.

That is all.
