ok, now I'm convinced I'm smarter than you too

i suspect you think you're smarter than a lot of people

ouch this thread is gonna get ugly

With a sartorial interpretation of your query, I do believe Messrs. Elmo Argonaut and M.White are the smartest potential responders.

you seem smart, louis, if overly articulate

sur i don't really know how to answer the question! it is a bit confrontational -- and to be honest i haven't ever spent a lot of time comparing our respective levels of intelligence.

but i have never thought that you're dumb, ever -- and i think you can be quite insightful at times. i do think you may have a tendency to say some things without a lot of consideration, and that can get you into trouble. and i do think you can be hypersensitive.

but you are a treat, stay sweet, never change
& have a KICK ASS SUMMER

/yearbook

thanks, you're sweet e. i've always thought so. teddy bear sweet.

if overly articulate

awesome

is dis a chattin' up thread or samthung?

The further I plunge into the smartness at which I excel - academic, theoretical, verbal, creative smartness, the more I realise that the kind of smartness at which I have always lagged behind - emotional smartness, common-sense smartness, foresight smartness, is arguably the more important. Currently working on a means to converge the two but at the moment I'd say I'll always be outwitted in the long run by a more mentally-organised individual. Not that it's a competition or anything. ;-)

(yeh, 'tis a chattin' yerself up thread, uhuh, def'nitely)

sometimes i get so tired of the competition. who's smartest? who's gonna use the best words? who can write about this movie with the most wit?

it's all a competition. everyone wants to be right, and everyone wants to be smarter. ILX too.

weh weh weh.

^^ what does this mean

it means stop whining! :D

i am definitely smarter than kenan at onomatopoeia

hu hu hu

blap blap blap

hurrrqq hurrggle fslspurp

the worst is people who try too hard to be too smart and then it's just completely obtuse. that

is the worst.

some people are so smart that they are just naturally obtuse

no.

yes

dude, i said NO.

dude now who's being obtuse dude

no yes

some people are so smart that they are just naturally obtuse aspie

This is a peculiar question, Surmounter.

in a way.

my friends wouldn't think it very odd, they're used to it.

what do you think abbott?

ramzi is def smarter than me

i think i would be annoyed if a friend asked me this.

i just asked my coworker and she said no. then she asked me and i said no.

she's also my girl. i mean like in the friend way.

Boy, Surmounter, I don't even know you! How am I supposed to answer this?

dude, you see my posts! you're smart, figure it out

There's a big diff in being able to determine someone's 'smartness' through their internettitude and knowing them IRL.

stay cool this summer dawg

"do you think your life is more meaningful than mine?"

"do you think your marriage is better than mine?"

kind of defeats any point xx-post

it goes on

I think "I am human and I need to be loved" goes next, to be replaced by "I'm lucky people speak to me at all, and I shouldn't take that for granted."

"do you think you're a bigger attention whore than me?"

good one

"I'm lucky people speak to me at all, and I shouldn't take that for granted."

GOOD MANTRA

Yeah, I'm working on that one.

wow, this thread got COLD

Ways to beat the heat!

it's a good thing to tell yourself!

do u think you can beat me up lol

a strange thread for a strange day

i think HI DERE means "yes"

when I engage w/people I generally assume that they're smarter than me/superior to me in some way

what? why?

that doesn't sound very healthy, curtis

you truly are the figurehead of ILE, sur :)

oh you

If I were smarter, what would be the point?

no point, Aimless

very shrewd of you...

MY REFLEXES ARE STRONG AND FAST AND MAKE MY BRAIN KICK YOUR BRAINS ASS WHEN I FIGHT A BEAR

SO YES

UNLESS YOU ARE SMARTER ALSO THAN A BEAR

we judge people based on their intelligence, it's just what we do

Good use of the royal we there.

THEN IT IS I GUESS INDETERMINATEABLE

hey surmounter, i still wonder what the impetus of your question was, but whatever it was, i think you and most of the people on this messageboard are smarter, or at least more well-adjusted, than the ineffable beehive of thoughts that make up the posters in my head on this intrnet address group on the world wide web. back in the dayz (can it all be so simple then).

I feel a little dirty after reading this thread, like I was reading irredeemably filthy pornography in my grandmother's hanging garden.

Im at work wearing a shirt and tie, grey trousers and black shoes - that's fairly smart

haha dan you're a naughty naughty boy.

UNLESS YOU ARE SMARTER ALSO THAN A BEAR

the average bear?

Damn, getting in all the Cure refs you can, eh?

I have that Jimmy McNulty thing going on where I'm the smartest person I know.

Most of the time.

hey, abbott, don't blow our cover! dan and i are operating a pincer attack, so alike are our thoughts we may as well be siamese twins

oh shit it's late, I figure I should head home

dude i already did that one, don't screw with the program, you're sinking in my estimation, the blood in my veins is boiling, push off, on a night like this having you so close to me is just uncomfortable, there are at least six different ways your overbearing attitude makes me wanna quit ILX, i mean in between days when i'm getting mercilessly bullied, when everyone laughs at how the baby screams, and days when i struggle to fit 'kyoto song' into a cogent reference, i don't know why i bother any more

I am better than you have ever been or ever will be.

i don't know

Shit, I've also been thinking strgn was jess for a long time.

i hate the feeling that you should act smarter than you really are because if you don't, people will act like you're stupid, especially when they're also acting smarter than they are. imo it's better to be stupid sometimes, honest about it, and open to potential ridicule, than to always hedge, be vague, use obscure language, etc., protecting your "smart person" reputation amongst others and yourself. :P just venting...

100% co-sign

yuh I ask my boss questions baout anything and everything all the time. It pisses him off sometimes but I think he mostly appreciates that I'm just trying to do my job better.

when you really want to communicate something to someone you use the most basic language you can, i think. if you're fronting you'll be wordy.

this is why, for the most part, wikipedia stinks.
