My better friends know I'm also very slow on the uptake, and say a lot of stupid things, though. One of my friends said that "for someone who doesn't say a lot, you talk a lot of ####!" Usually, not saying a lot is the first step to being taken for smart. I think the quote runs "Rather be silent and appear stupid than speak and remove all doubt." Mh... perhaps by being silent one can actually achieve some sort of reputation for intelligence, if one nods sagely and makes wise sounds while listening to what others say. I gotta try that. :D -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Go to the parties have fun do stupid stuff then get an A isn't life great. It's pretty frustrating for a smart person if someone else who he knows is smart pretends to be dumb. But not as infuriating as it is for a smart person if someone else who is dumb desperately tries to pretend to be smart. AA, thanks for proving my point.

Karma and Bush, and also the WTC in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, June 2 2005 13:52 Profile Homepage #146 Loaded with enough fuel and packed in a metal shell, a plane should behave just like a bomb when it hits a building. I'm willing to believe the thing about the WTC; these skyscrapers are very complex structures, where small damage in a key place could destabilize the whole thing. This would just indicate that a whole lot of planning went into it. I've seen the Pentagon photos and explanations, and I have my doubts. The only question I have is what motivation anyone would have to fake an attack on the Pentagon: Wouldn't the WTC alone have been sufficient to justify any plans they might have hatched? One thing I'm sure about: They (ie. Intelligence/Defense) knew in advance. They had adequate warning, and they were informed about these plans at least a few days if not weeks before they were carried out. And that alone, fake Boeing or no, is highly suspicious. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, June 2 2005 13:24 Profile Homepage #30 I have seen a community of around 5000 people who try to elect their leaders through direct democracy. They're still trying, and they have been for over a year now... Of course it would help them if their community was actually centered around one place, rather than being centered around as many forums as there are members who are both ambitious and popular enough to make a forum and attract people to it - and ban those from it they don't like. It's sort of like a Spiderweb Nightmare, only bigger and more fragmented.

I got 145, and there's no freaking way I'm on the same level as Einstein. Either the tests are messed up (and this 145 was from a professionally administered test, not an online one), or it indeed doesn't mean a thing. quote: I don't take any of this seriously though, as the people here are not the masses, and the nature of these games attracts a certain kind of people. For the most part you would not see many unintelligent people here, as SW games require a great deal of reading and the interest in fallowing a story. Just as an example… One of my siblings saw me playing A2 and asked what it was. I explained it, and he watched me play for about two minutes. Eventually he said “I don't want to play a game where I have to read, I just want to kill stuff.” If TM were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave. Edit: That is, since he is alive I don't know what he does. Perhaps he is spinning anyway, but that would be far less dramatic.
