That's true. I swear, people I know in college and at work fawn over me because of my history and writing skills, and because I am very well-spoken, and they act like I'm all intelligent. And I'm like, why are language arts skills and historical buffery so good at cloaking my true level of intelligence.Originally Posted by Mottleydude
I can't do math, resulting in an a general inability to comprehend the natural sciences. I am a very slow thinker, can't multi-task, have zero street smarts and zero mechanical skills, am absent-minded in the short term (my long term memory is actually quite strong, but most things die a quick death in my short term memory).
The things I'm good at are not of any practical use. For example, I can recall in great detail what you were doing in the fall of 1994, even after you yourself have long since forgotten it. Made for some great shockers when I signed people's yearbooks at the end of senior year.
"It [the draft] is duty rather than slavery. I part with the author on the caviler idea that individual freedom (whatever that may be to the person) leads to nirvana, anyone older that 12 knows that is BS."

I do not wish to seem rude, but if you will do a little research you will find that Hitler and fascism is a product of the far right. Now understand that real Conservatives are not the same as the far right just like real Liberals are not the far left.
On this, I think that USF is right, not that he needs my approval. One of the causes of the trouble in our Country is that too many people do not get involved. Some times just having someone speak up can cause people to correct wrong behavior. Just something to think about.
The more I learn, the more knowledge that I gain, the more I realize I have yet to learn. The irony is that a stupid man thinks that he knows it all while an intelligent man realizes how little he really knows. (I hope no one takes that as an insult, as it is not meant that way.)
I can move objects with my mind.
There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

What really matters is what you were able to take from the experience.

I appreciate your politeness, but actually the opposite is true. NAZI stands for National Socialist Party. And their tactics are the same as Democrats: grab the guns, indoctrinate the children, placate the lower class.
Why should you be surprised by the deceptiveness of the Nazis? The name was meaningless and nothing like the Democratic Party. Let's be honest, neither party can be classified as the far right or the far left. Do not take my word for it, do a little research as there are dishonest men who are trying to twist the facts. Have a good day.

I've been involved in politics for decades, first as a Democrat. Their tactics are exactly as I described. After I found out that I have been lied to I turned away from them completely.
I use big words so that people don't realize antidisestablishmentarianism how fucking stupid I actually am.

Which of these words were big?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. —CHARLES A. BEARD
