There's more intelligent minds in this forum than you could ever believe... However, most of these minds use their genius to simply flame eachother.
"Discovering a cure for cancer? Fu[/b]ck that! I've got a new 'Katie's a *****' joke that's more important; then we'll switch subjects mid-thread to a staring contest or a game of last, bit[b]ch."
I highly doubt barren's chat is as entertaining as the bunch of intelligent douche-bags here, discussing religion, gay-rights, abortion, and other things while pretending to get work done at their jobs.
Well many of the regulars are seemingly intelligent; there are, however, tons of AOLer-like kids that tend to stick around. Easily avoided with filters.
