intelligence mikey the ability to use what you know. i hate ignorant people..yet my statement is ignorant. for eveyone is ignorant somehow of some things. 010306 ... dB Ah, maybe you don't hate ignorant people. Did you ever think about it like that. Ignorant people are OK, at least they are using their brains for something. Maybe it's stupid people you hate. Stupid people have the capacity, but just don't bother. I hate people like that. Did you know that about 7% of the first world population has NEVER read a book. They read magazines, and maybe get odd bits of information out of encyclopedias or something, but they never sit down and read a whole book start to finish. People like that are stupid. People like that are stuck in the trap forever. People like that deserve to be looked down on, and hated. They bring it on themselves. 010306 ... mikey i love reading. i used to own a mini library of about 70 hard cover books. i may rebuild again. favorite book: wheel of time series BY robert jordan. 9 books total and counting. :::drool:::: 010306 ... dB Wheel of time? Never heard of it. I'll have to check it out. One of the places where I work is a second hand book shop (Huge amounts of stock. Unbelieveable stuff). I am in the process of building a library next to my office at home. I got banned from the public library for life because of overdue fines that I have no intention of paying. It's amazing how much great stuff you can find on eBay, or around old book shops. Have you read the Dune series (Frank Herbert)? I'm guessing you have, but if not, I suggest you look into it. Very good stuff. 010306 ... mike yes i love Dune. books and the movie! goto amazon.com search for "robert jordan" author look for wheel of time series its ALMOST as good as the author god JRR Tolkein 010306 ... dB Can't beat old Tolkien. I'll check the other ones out on eBay, and probably the book shop where I work when I'm in there next. Thanks Mikey. 010306 ... chiidi i've grown used to having mine insulted daily by tedious micromanagers when all else fails me my books are a comfort a 1934 edition of Burton's translation of the 1001 Nights the collected plays of Shakespeare a couple of slim volumes of William S. Burroughs Some old spell-books two small books of love poems some Tennyson some Sandburg Gibson's "Neuromancer" a scattering of Anne Rice's vampire books 010306 ... mikey you seem intelligent to me. people who dont know you and say your not intelligent are ignorant you should just nod your head and smile and move along. 010307 ... kinkazoid its sorta weird that i am very intelligent i cant spell too good, and im not that good in bio, but in everything else im very smart. yet people always think im stupid, they always say im stupid cuz i ask them allot of questions, just because i want to know stuff doesnt make me stupid it just makes me curious. 010612 ... j_blue ram lets you do things faster sometimes sometimes, lets you emulate multitasking facilitates the creation of sub-egos... 010612 ... splinken we aren't martyrs just because we're smart. 010612 ... dB Intelligent people are smart enough to ask questions. Most people don't ask, they just accept what they don't understand. And being smart doesn't make you a Matyr. It just make you observant. If you use it correctly. 010612 ... Bespeckled Overrated? If we were all stupid we'd be so much more happy. Intelligence gets me in trouble. 080124 what's it to you? who go blather from
