[QUOTE=J Paul;19997493]I don't think I'm very smart. Not any more than anyone else. In fact, I like to think that we all have the same capacity for intelligence, some of us just try harder than others.
All of my life I've been told that I'm "gifted" and all of that bullshit, and It's always pissed me off. I'm not special, other people are just fucking lazy. They don't work hard enough and they aren't motivated to learn.
What's really bad is the expectations others have of me. Never in my life have I claimed to know everything. In fact, I've always been quite sure of the opposite; I don't know anything. However, others have come to expect me to have the answer to every question they ask, being too lazy to figure it out for themselves, and usually they get an answer which I believe to be correct. However, on the occasion that I get something wrong or don't know the answer to a question, all I ever hear is how I think I know everything and how I'm such a smartass and all of that shit. Fuck everyone, I never claimed to know shit, it's all of these fuckers who tell me I know everything and then get mad at me when I don't. And when my friends or family introduce me to people they introduce me as the guy who knows everything, like I'm fucking wikipedia or something.
I don't think I'm smart, and I don't think other people are stupid. What I think is that I'm a normal, hard-working person surrounded by a bunch of lazy degenerates.[/QUOTE]
so dude can you help me with my calculus homework?
[QUOTE=The Philosopher;19997066]Being smart does not only mean you can spell correctly online. Lets throw a scenario in here, a history teachers father passes away and she takes the day off and the school is looking for someone to teach 7/8 classes on that day, would you be capable of explaining WWII to [b]higher level[/b] 20/30ish students?[/QUOTE]
Here's another similar scenario:
A history teacher's father passes away and she takes the day off and the school is looking for someone to teach 7/8 classes on that day for free. Would you explain boring history to your even more bored mates or and throw in a massive party that will sure as hell make history?
i think i am smart in some areas. for example, i have an a+ in math, but a c in spanish.
No, I consider myself an idiot.

You wouldn't be either, so shut your mouth.
but perfumly, yea he is retarded. i know him personally.
its a joke, dont ban me.
Sure, I can do some maths and some philosophy and I know enough to get by.
But I'm still fucking stupid and I fuck up some way every day, so no, I'm obviously not [i]that[/i] smart. :saddowns:
Do you mean smart as in knowledge or smart as in your ability to learn and comprehend new stuff?
i visit FP, therefore i am smart
I imagine so. I'm statistically classed as intelligent, but I'm pretty lazy.
my gpa is 2.1 lol
Yes I would consider myself as a "smart" person. I'll admit I have some times where I'm completely stupid though.
People say that, I think I'm not.
Striving for the better worked out so far.
Compared to my class, yes. I'm the only one who knows how to program. Nobody knows about that, so... :smug:

I know , fucking bullshit , teachers say your smart and shit and when you do something wrong they are like : dud wat ur doin ? dat aint kool if u do dat. Wll still Im almost best student in my class although I barely do any homework.
yeah, you have those nerds like johhnymo come in and say I HAVE AN IQ OF 16000 whoopty-do it doesn't mean shit

example: In highschool I was told to have the writing capacity of a 21st grader, whatever that is.
Regardless; I don't.
I might be smarter than a lot of people (that includes chavs and the like), but there's billions of people whose brain is more actively working than mine.
Grammatically and linguistically, no
Math and science? I have a larger interest in the subjects and retain more knowledge. People call me smart, I just reply that I care.
But sometimes I get the feeling that I am smarter compared to most of my classmates
If I was I wouldn't be posting in this dumb thread in the first place now would I?
Why yes indeed!
Why else would I be classified as a Science geek?
Or use words like Palaeoichthyology, describe sturgeons as Acipenseridae, or almost rage when people don't understand easy things like the Doppler effect or the Cyclic model?
Or be a Grammar nazi?
Or be one of the few in my class whoms biggest dream is to become a Scientist?
yes
Most facepunchers seem to blur the lines a little too much between KNOWLEDGE and INTELLIGENCE.
There's a difference between container and content
Yes i am, i failed my college exams first try and most of them 2nd try, got average results back in high school, and all i have to my name now is an A in genetics, but i have some good stuff in my thinker to get things solved with
not just smart I'm fucking mint mate.
No, I'm not.
IQ on 132 so yes i guess?
I think I'm an idiot.
I would consider myself smart. I suck at maths though..
[QUOTE=The Philosopher;19997019]No need for thread content, title sums it up.[/QUOTE]
No.
Contentless threads in GD are something bad....
Well almost every GD thread is contentless now.

Maybe you misheard and the the person meant that you have the writing capacity of twenty 1st-graders.
