<p>I’m fine with dumb people who try, not those who don’t try. I look down on Ignorant people like racists, and people who are skeptical about the sciences. I also F***ing hate people who think they’re geniuses but really aren’t. This one kid keeps saying how he’s the smartest in this class and that class, for example, he thought he knew more about math than me(It’s kind of my thing), we’re in Pre-Calculus, and I was like “do you even know what a derivative is?”, haha, that shut him up for a while.</p>
<p>I try not to judge. Everyone has their own circumstances, and I have no right to deride them or “look down on them” because they view other things more important than school. It’s not my choice, but I don’t think it’s my place to look down on others who make that choice. </p>
<p>The people I do look down on are the arrogant “smart” people who are honestly little more than mediocre. I despise arrogance in general, and seeing it in those who don’t have the credentials to be arrogant infuriates me. They never brag to me anymore, cause I’m now on “their level” (a place I have no desire to be), but they are conceited and petty. I’ve gotten into several standoffs with those types of people (like our valedictorian) who aren’t very intelligent, but for some reason believe they are better than everyone else.</p>
<p>I hate dumb kids. At my school, they were the ones who didn’t try. They were the ones who, because they went to a school for smart kids, felt that automatically justified stupidity. As if attending that school was proof they’d already arrived.
Then there are the average kids who are overrated and thought of as smart when, in reality, they’re mediocre. Like this girl who wore Harvard hoodies but was not even in the top fifty percent of her class.
But I respect the nerds mostly. They were the most intellectual, Imo. Very nice and humble as well.
Personally, I’d never date a guy who has a lower GPA than mine. Or whose intelligence isn’t on par with or superior to mine. Can’t help it.</p>
<p>@alexiss
pretty petty, you should change your thinking</p>
<p>alexissss:
woooooooooooooooooow…</p>
<p>Which part?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Um…seriously? Shallow and mean. And look who`s calling people petty and conceited.</p>
<p>Just saying.</p>
<p>The " I hate dumb kids"</p>
<p>oh and the dating one</p>
<p>Uh…the whole thing. Seriously.</p>
<p>the whole thing pretty much</p>
<p>Yes, but the i hate dumb kids was extreme.</p>
<p>all i have to say is “WOW…”</p>
<p><em>backs aways from Alexiss</em></p>
<p>So wait. You’re attacking my post when others have posted the same? How is it extreme? Did you not read the next sentence? </p>
<p>And my dating preferences are no different from those of someone who only dates, say, people with brown eyes.</p>
<p>you have the right to have preferences, but you have to admit they are pretty shallow, gpa gg</p>
<p>Not really. My GPA wasn’t even that high. Anyone I date should be able to meet it. <em>^▁^</em> Btw, preferences are by nature shallow.</p>
<p>I think the majority of us agreed that if people at least tried, then we didn`t have any problem with them. And I know no one said they hate dumb kids. You said:
I hate dumb kids. At my school, they were the ones who didn't try. They were the ones who, because they went to a school for smart kids, felt that automatically justified stupidity. As if attending that school was proof they'd already arrived. So wait....EVERY kid at your school who had a lower than average intelligence level didnt even try? At all. Even if thats so you cant say you just "hate" them. Thats...harsh
Then there are the average kids who are overrated and thought of as smart when, in reality, they're mediocre. Like this girl who wore Harvard hoodies but was not even in the top fifty percent of her class. This is...making you look a big....snobby. Seriously. I mean, I get if theyre arrogant, or something like that, but who really cares if someone wears a Harvard sweatshirt...I mean...I dont know
But I respect the nerds mostly. They were the most intellectual, Imo. Very nice and humble as well. What school do you go to? There arent any smart of genius people who are arrogant. So youre saying the "mediocre" kids are all arrogant, and the "nerds" are all humble and nice?
Personally, I'd never date a guy who has a lower GPA than mine. Or whose intelligence isn't on par with or superior to mine. Can't help it. This is just making you look a bit petty and shallow. I personally don`t see this as the same as eye color</p>
<p>I<code>m not attacking your post, just trying to point out that if I were you, don</code>t ever let any of the “dumb” kids overhear you saying ANY of that, because you`ll regret it. <em>hint, hint</em></p>
<p>Back to the topic, someone try define intellect because all I see is gpa.</p>
<p>from the free dictionary:
The ability to learn and reason; the capacity for knowledge and understanding</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow. This is the type of arrogance that I despise, and I ranted against in my post. I’m happy I’m not friends with people like you.</p>
<p>“Personally I’d never date a guy with a lower GPA then mine.” </p>
<p>Clearly, because GPA denotes intelligence and character, and not how many AP’s you crammed into your life. </p>
<p>I understand you on the kids that don’t try, but like I said, we can’t really judge. Let each live their own life. Why do we have to be so consumed by arrogance or inferiority that such foolishly opinionated posts like these even come up?</p>
<p>What is wrong with the people of CC. This is why the whole Internet views this site as a dysfunctional hierarchy for pretentious jerks.</p>
<p>You completely misinterpreted my whole post. I specifically named the dumb kids as the ones who didn’t try. Did I mention anything about intelligence? I simply categorized those who didn’t try and felt “cool” in not doing so as dumb. And yes, I hated them because high school was nearly hell having to deal with these Hipster like morons.</p>
<p>Next, I pointed out this kid wears H apparel to highlight her undeserved arrogance. She wore it in a way that stated boldly, “I’m ready for this school” when she was not remotely close.
And yes, every single person at the top of our class was nice (tip top 10) along with many of the nerds (very quiet, shy). Do you find this strange?</p>
<p>Whether you agree or not, dating someone for hair or eye color is identical to dating someone for intelligence or its traditional markers. Ever heard of a sapiosexual?</p>
