Figure this one out...

Contrary to what is portrayed in the media and popular belief, academics and intellects are actually well-revered.

Contrary to what you've made yourself think, nerdy guys just don't get beaten up because the popular kids are all having popular sex with eachother and when homework gets in the way of that they've got someone to call.

No but seriously though, revered? Check your ego. People don't like those that are smarter than them like 99% of the time when those smart people think of themselves as revered. Jesus christ.

Calm down, dude. No one is attacking you. It was merely an exaggeration to a generalization. I'm not considering myself smart or brilliant in anyway. Just because I or anyone else here happen to be able to do some math is an odd reason for us to get beat up constantly. And yes, people tend to be jealous of or even dislike those who are better than them in just about anything, which is perfectly natural.

Oh, so you ironically have a god complex then? Well that's perfectly alright.

[Nathan_Mates]

I don't understand. Just because I can think in a logical manner makes me consider myself smart and brilliant? You seem to have the mentality that a person has to either be extremely(?) stupid or intelligent. Why can't a person be somewhere in between or close to either end of the scale?

[[m'kay]]

Don't you try using your "smart people" words on me, kid. I'm immune to your pretentious [poo] like using words like "extremely", what the [m'kay] kind of [derriere orifice] uses words like that and expects to be taken seriously? [m'kay] logical, what kind of robot are you

[Nathan_Mates]

Alright, now I know you're only joking. Hopefully...

I hate when these threads become mediums through which people have stupid and petty arguments...

Wait a minute, smart people should be revered (another word for respected or admired) because they make a difference in this world. People like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Now those guys are smart. You're just too extremely stupid (according to yourself) to notice this.

Also, nerds aren't the same thing as intellects. Nerds are people who are into Star Wars, Anime, and other fads based on fictional works. And popular kids these days tend to be the ones who are outgoing in both academics and extracurricular activities. Just because you consider youself a useless and pathetic human being during your educational and post-educational years doesn't mean you should take your troubles out on others who actually make or plan to make a life for themselves. What, you're going to come back with a witty and sarcastic response containing taboo words here and there that has nothing to do with the actual argument at hand to come off as a funny tough guy? Or maybe you will act like you have some kind of life experiences that "kids" here on this forum should personally hear about?
