This still goes on?Follow

You know what would be funny? If I went to my retail job and wrote "sales" as "sails" all the time and starting demanding it was ok because I'm a math person.

In fact, I may do that.

Whether the original incidents were hate crimes or not, this always raises a red flag:



Raise your hand if you believe scanning records destroys them.

Haha, you can't understand why their/they're is completely different from corps/core for you. That's also funny.

Your on a role lately!

I'm not trying to prove an entire group of people as being "intelligent", but counter the comment that an entire group of people are morons.

Ok? what's your point?

I'm glad that you noticed that.

You said the following:
"I can see this a little bit, but then again most aren't trying to prove a group of people which includes themselves are intelligent."

Not having subnormal intelligence does not equal being intelligent. You mentioned the key word, "normal".

So, no, I was not arguing that a whole group of people were intelligent, but that they all did not posses subnormal intelligence. Some of those people might be intelligent, some of them might just be normal, but most of them don't have subnormal intelligence.

This isn't a semantics game. You all ridicule me for misusing a word on accident, then turn around and purposely misuse words to support your argument. Words have meanings and definitions for a purpose. You can't just change things all willy~nilly.

Uh no... When you all call me out for misusing a word, I get called an idiot, although I man up to my mistake. When I call you all out for misusing a word, you say "semantics", although you're clearly wrong.

So, I'm going to show how you're wrong in every possible definition of the word intelligent.



You are making the claim that simply having intelligence, makes a person intelligent, which is completely wrong. The very definition you quoted of moron is "subnormal intelligence.". That means even a moron has intelligence. So, if being a moron is the opposite of being intelligent, then simply having intelligence can not be the criterion for a person to be considered intelligent.

If you look at the first two definitions, they clearly state being intelligent as having a "high mental capacity", or "quickness of understanding" which are greater than normal.

Now, you're probably saying "what about the last two, they say simply possessing intelligence". That's easy. that is in reference to things that typically don't posses intelligence or thought of as seen as possibly not having intelligence, i.e computers and beings from outer space. In that reference, we can easily say that mankind is intelligent because we posses intelligence. Doing so, states that everyone to include officers are also intelligent beings. So, either way, you're wrong.

Just man up and accept that fact.

For your statistical claim, seriously, do you need stats? As I said in my previous posts, I can easily find some random stat off google, but it doesn't mean anything because you can easily find some counter statistic.

What I'm arguing is, the more education a person has, the more likely that the person is more intellectual than someone with less education. Are you seriously arguing against that? To do so is to imply that there is no correlation between education and intelligence.

Did you even read the definition I quoted? All of those qualities are more likely to be enhanced with more knowledge. Quit making up crap to sound smart. Knowledge overlaps itself, so the more you understand something in one area, the easier it is to understand something in another area. Therefore, if you know a lot of information, it makes overall comprehension much easier, supporting all of the qualities mentioned in the definition.
