[QUOTE=The one that is;31890004]
I'm probably smarter than a great few of you, I just don't show it via internet or care to even post as well as I probably should due to the fact I honestly don't give a shit about it.
If you want to compair how "smart" we are I can tell you now that I know three languages, am in pre-calc, taking biology and chemistry in the same year, honors social studies and english and a fourth language all this year and I'm a freshman in highschool. So if you want to compair how smart I apparently am not, I'm four grade levels ahead in math and two in science, and easily at least two or three in social studies and english. I will be taking college courses for almost everything from every year on.[/QUOTE]
I took AP Computer Science, AP Physics, and AP English Literature. I scored the highest mark on the AP tests for all three. I supplemented those with a scattering of Honors classes, which combined with the AP scores allowed me to enter college as a second-year. I took college courses while in high school during my free time to further accelerate my college education. I was lead programmer and driver on my school's FTC robotics team, and we placed in the world championship for 2010. I scored a 2240 on my SATs, am currently taking 24 credit-hours a week of classes so I can dual-major in both video game design AND mechanical engineering, and work both a part-time job and an eBay business on the side. I learned Swahili before I learned English, and while you were learning not to eat paste I was trying to understand Russian instructions while field-stripping Kalashnikovs in Tbilisi, Georgia, former USSR republic- skills taught to me by my late father, who spent 17 years as a CIA field agent before retiring. And if you think [i]any[/i] of this is bullshit, I've got everything I need to prove it (assuming I feel any particular need to share my life story with some dumbass kid on the Internet), starting with the zebra pelt and buffalo skull adorning my wall as souvenirs of my time hunting in Tanzania. Or you can just ask Timebomb who can vouch for me.
[B]Sit the fuck down.[/B] The only people who feel a need to flaunt their credentials are the ones who use them as an excuse for their lack of anything meaningful to say.
[QUOTE=Aznsniper911;31892902]I didn't take any APs cause I'm the lazy Asian, plus the teachers here are pretty anal about things.
Who else is a senior in high school?[/QUOTE]
I took Art AP for my senior year
found out later the credits don't work for the college I go to
FFFFFF :suicide:

The way I see it, if you can't form an argument informed by your credentials and just list them instead, they're not of any use in the first place. Everyone here has skills of some sort, for some random kid to come in and say 'no I'm really smart see all the smart stuff I did' is just laughable. It's the Internet, there's always someone better than you, whether they flaunt it or not.
hey are we talking about the smarts
My parents forced me to take some IQ tests during the 8th grade during lunch. Once I finished all of them, the lady giving the tests sent a letter to my parents saying that "Joey's intelligence far exceeds that of his fellow peers, and he seems to be thinking on a level beyond ours. I'm quite surprised he's still in middle school, let alone taking IQ tests during lunch. The reason Joey isn't doing well in school is simple: he has no motivation and doesn't seem to think the work he's asked to do is important"
so facepunch airsoft's average intelligence is significantly higher than that of the rest of their peers
so either airsofters on facepunch are all motherfucking smart as hell
or we just have huge fucking egos

I would say I pretty much have the same big-fish-little-pond problem.
oh my god
i just want to kill myself now
that's what fucking everyone thinks
it's always cool to believe you're capable of great things but that you're not running at full potential because your work is bullshit.
you might really be hot shit, but frankly it's silly to claim this kind of thing

:suicide:
Now i feel like an idiot catbarf.
YOU MADE ME FEEL STUPID. Oh who am i kidding, if i actually tried in school i would have done better on my sat's. I mean if im not trying and im still getting a gpa above 3.5 i'd say i'm still doing damn well.
They were making fun of tacticool ARs on Sons of Guns. What the fuck?
oh fuck not this
"im p smart but im not working real hard"
frankly if you got to the point where slacking hurt your sat scores, that's not real bright

It's not so much that. I just don't have motivation because I don't have much to live up to. Diabetic, socially-awkward, lonely white boy. Ya that's gonna culminate to a really exciting future.
Fuck now i'm getting dramatic.
uh yeah
i used to be the fat, socially awkward asian kid
not so much anymore cause i actually talk to people, and i go outside and do shit
But yeah, i know for a fact that i haven't been learning much is because my school focused in one thing:
PSSA'S which stands for Pennsylvania System of School Assessment.
Essentially they're state tests which evaluate how well the school is teaching you, and if you do well the school gets more money. Our CEO likes money, alot. So they taught us and gave us double periods of English and Math, the only two subjects that matter on the PSSA's. So we've had the bare minimum in sciences and history.
I love history with a passion, my grade in history never dipped below a 98 since 5th grade and that was religious history (thanks catholic school....). I never did well in math and it's the major subject, so i'm failing math with a 3.5+ gpa because my other grades compensate. If my math wasn't in the 70's i'd probably have 3.85 gpa.

I have a perfectly acceptable sat score in that most colleges would still take me. But it's the fact that my school only gives us classes, double classes mind you in my two most hated subjects that makes me not give a shit.
Also maybe the 5 year long bout of insomnia i had and still have.
so american school system is balls

Welcome to the club bro. Except I'm not diabetic, but I'm still medically fucked up.
No, the American School system is about money.
My school's ceo is under investigation right now because of his borderline illegal methods for own the school building.
He created a subcompany to buy the building, then rented the building out to the school company, ergo he is paying rent to himself.
We're only taught subjects that can net the school money.

Also guys, which movie should i watch?
Pulp Fiction or American Psycho.
I watched Pulp Fiction but not American Psycho. I'm in a tarantino type of mood because of his directing abilities (i dabble in being a cinephile like that), but i never saw the other movie.
Don't get me started on the US's school system. It sucks ass, especially in CA.
Since I was in a lower Algebra class in Freshman year, the district was concerned that our class would not be able to pass some spergy test in 2012, so they moved everyone in my class into not one, but TWO algebra classes. fuck that.
i may be a capitalist but generally speaking for profit school systems aren't always a good idea
What irks me is that my school is being praised by people all over the country because in recent years the school has been incredibly successful with high scores on all sorts of tests. The tests they praise us on are math tests.
All in all it's actually a good school, strict, but good. But the teaching curriculum is annoying.
I'm just glad that i did well on those PSSA tests so now i don't have a first and second period and instead get to come in at 9:15 instead of 7:50.
HNNgG drove to taco bell and got like.. a burrito, two soft tacos, breadsticks and this limonada shit and now my stomach is playing battleshits oh GOD
Well that's to be expected of Taco Bell.
When you go to taco bell, you may THINK you're getting a tasty Americanized taco, but what you are getting in actuality is diarrhea hiding behind the guise of a delicious beef and cheese filled tortilla. Tastes good going in, feels like hell going out while you're having an attack of explosive diarrhea.
It is, effectively, an accurate representation of a trip down to Mexico.

That really doesn't mean anything. They tested my IQ as above average and I have documents that write up my "higher level linguistic and artistic abilities". People tell me that I'm smart and clever whenever it comes up, I've had to explain to girls more than once that I'm not a grade A student
I haven't finished a class above grade C in seven years, I'm terrible with numbers and I test really badly. I have dyslexia with the main symptom being dysgraphia (and also had trouble explaining it because of the term changes, what I've just said used to be called legastenija) My oral tests are on average on grade higher than my writing tests.
I also have a friend who is a shite student, but if you pay attention you can see he has ability. He's pretty socially smart and he has a learning ethic despite being "stupid" by your standards.
What I'm trying to say is that if you don't know that intelligence shows itself in many different areas and ways, then you're not very smart to begin with, are you?

[QUOTE=Kman1;31891580]Lol, if there's one thing he's not, it's intelligent. I love people like that. Should I list my school info? I've never taken an English below honors. Honors math classes each year. Got good grades in all three Aps I took last year, three, that's more than you honey buns. Ap biology, AP US History, and AP Psychology. I'm taking AP Government, AP Calculus and Honors Physics this year. I'm in a Medical Academy that's helping me with my medical career. I take classes you've probably heard of, ever taken anatomy, physiology, Pathophysiology or Health Occupations? I'm working on writing articles about politics in my spare time, and have many medical texts. So uh, are we done bragging baby cakes, cause I think I won.
