I'm sure he has an impressive skillset in his field, but last I checked that doesn't actually translate to an automatic win in an internets debate. I'm sure it seems really impressive to you, but be that as it may, the best anyone can do on here, people on here being anonymous, and neither of the two in question being idiots, is to really hurt one another's feelings.
People that sure of themselves, whether warranted or not, just won't get hurt that way.
You are right, and thank you for your opinion
But living in different parts of the world can change intelligent s but that is when you hope common sense kicks in, and yet the debate of smarts become everyday life and courtesy come in place.
You may have thought that i was speaking education and not every day common courtesy, then this would be a debate you have lost...
Or that trying to think someone is better because they are smarter or not knowing them, how the heck do you really know a person on an open forum??..
For Instance...
I go on some News sites (And i never reply or post anything), and i see the posts from people (i think they are??), and they are constantly repetitive and hurtful comments to get hostile or attack responses.. Is that smart or intelligent?? Yet there are people that fall into it and respond Ya you are full of shit and so on, does that change anything??
Then you go in similar reporting sites and under a different name you see the exact same postings (word for word!!), is that smart??
To me someone smart is having the ability to being able to communicate with anyone and not be angry to a point to attack and respect there opinion regardless if you think it is right or wrong, but that also means it should have some common sense built into it....regardless where you live or how you were raised??
So knocking someone on where they live and saying they are smarter or dumber than anyone else because of education or where they live is superior is just ridiculous..
And speaking to someone on open forum(which this is the only place i do), and speaking to someone one on one or privately is completely different..
And sometimes how a post is interpreted can also change a response??
But i do agree with you Snee
Now back to sun and fun
Have a wonderful day Everyone
