Altαir Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Is "I despise you." an emotion or a viewpoint/opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 meh... you could.... that's what bold, italisized, and underlined text is for... not to mention the emotion faces, and text sizes....

HORUS Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I learned that in 6th grade... Anyway' date=' the point is that you can prove such with visual evidence... kinda. It is around you, and you can go ahead and prove it. Now if I asked you, "Is there really a such thing as a dinosaur?" You would probably tell me, "Yes." If I asked you to prove it, and you showed me a dinosaur bone, I can say, "That could be fake," or "How do you know that's a dinosaur bone." It's called primary and secondary sources, and since sientists have to base the beginning of life through secondary sources, some people can question their work, and they're powerless to stop them and answer them.[/quote'] And that makes the Bible a fictional source, because there is no observable evidence whatsoever.

Dark Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Discuss. I love how you bring topics that have nothing to do with God (as this is a quote), and turn it into a religious topic which supports your (and my) side. Wonderful. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HORUS is, by far, the SMARTEST freaking person I have ever met on the internet. Or at least tied with Crab Helmet. OMGAKITTY is probably in the top 10. Maybe Flame Dragon and Icyblue are in the top 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the asserting emotion thing, you can assert with emotion. I think that's where the connection got cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I used to be? Now where am I? Why is Crab -25? He should be top 5, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much lower (Good Thing). Crab is -25 because he is too good for positive numbers. And actually, the rating of intelligence isn't strange. You do it, but you do not notice it.

Dark Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I rate people by intelligence automatically, even in real life. I don't tell them, because they get such low numbers, but it gives me a good impression about what I can/can't talk about with them. I had this really dumb friend. She was really, really dumb. But, she was my friend. I knew that talking to her about religion or politics is a bad idea, and I should talk about that with my other, smarter friends.

OMGAKITTY Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Its easy to fake intelligence on the internet. By running a simple spellcheck, and actually typing with proper grammar, you already elevate yourself above the average internet lurker. Go compulsively read wikipedia articles, and suddenly you're a bona fide genius. But as long as we're mentioning "smart YCMers (lol) ", The Dark One and Static probably deserve a mention.

And TDO, obviously. I remembered him, just didn't post. Typing in proper grammar makes you seem smart at first, but you can find a lot of people who talk like I yet are still morons. I guess you can fake intelligence on the internet, but my formula for intelligence does not include just smartness, it also includes lulz. That is why OMGAKITTY is intelligent in my eyes. Then again, your post is null and void because it is given that you can fake anything on the internet. ITT: I am a 65-year-old bald man who lives in my great grandfathers basement.
