<p>This is probably the most honest opinion on here.</p>
<p>The ignorant man is the man who does not realize that he is such.</p>
<p>Sarah Palin supporters.</p>
<p>People who get bad grades and then claim that the reason was because they did not care</p>
<p>Below average on an IQ bell curve…</p>
<p>^^yeah, grades aren’t important and i totally could’ve gotten the grades you got if i cared. i’m just as smart as you are and your effort counts for nothing. anyone else hate those kinds of people?</p>
<p>wow i do. How do you make a come-back to that?
I just get so frustrated that i don’t know what to say.</p>
<p>extremely naive people</p>
<p>Poor comprehension skills, which seems like a lot of people.</p>
<p>Grades, exam scores and education don’t have anything to do with whether I think someone is stupid. </p>
<p>To me, it’s lack of common sense.
My step-father, for example, is an idiot. </p>
<p>He completely lacks even the most basic common sense and, because of this, he’s also a walking disaster. </p>
<p>I can’t even get into the idiot situations he gets into because he doesn’t–or is unable to–think logically about anything.</p>
<p>FYI: every human MUST have common sense. Common sense is INSTINCTUAL, hence the word COMMON. It’s based on a shared NATURAL understanding. What you’re referring to is not common sense. I hate when people make the distinction between book smarts and street smarts because 1) the latter implies common sense whereas the former does not and 2) there’s no evidence to back up the claim that there are these “different kinds of smarts” ; it’s still being researched.</p>
<p>FYI: it’s not that damn serious. </p>
<p>Hard to believe, but just because you slap together a definition (and will likely then run to Wikipedia for support) doesn’t mean everyone will agree on it. </p>
<p>Particularly when such a word is an concept not a rule. Its meaning varies based on personal experience. Obviously. </p>
<p>And that is common sense.</p>
<p>ok ok calm down! Sorry if you interpreted my statement as being hostile; i guess it does come out that way. I didn’t mean it like that. chill</p>
<p>Someone who may have book smarts but absolutely no street/life smarts. Basically someone who wouldn’t do very well in the real world.</p>
<p>Perhaps you’re reading my pixels in an angry, evil, out to steal candy from babies, manner. But I assure you, I’m quite “chill.”</p>
<p>Try re-reading it with a giant smile on your face.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, I didn’t read anything hostile in your post. But that may be because I like to read with a giant smile on my face–you really ought to try it.</p>
<p>Someone who may have book smarts but absolutely no street/life smarts. Basically someone who wouldn’t do very well in the real world. </p>
<p>That may be true but “street smarts” comes with the assumption that intelligence is defined in a contextual setting, which has yet to be proven.</p>
<p>Plattsburghloser—you used the word “damn” in your response. People don’t use damn in their responses to denote a positive tone.</p>
<p>Once again, that’s your little opinion. </p>
<p>I say “damn” a lot. I like to say “damn.”
For example, I might say “Thank you for all the damn food, friend.”</p>
<p>I know this is also hard to believe, but some people are dif-uh-rent from other people.
As evident in the dif-uh-rent definitions of what is “stupid” on this thread. </p>
<p>In any event, I’m getting tired of repeatedly having to explain that the world doesn’t revolve around your terms. So I’m going to go watch fat kids at fat camp on MTV.</p>
<p>Tell more anecdotes about the squirrely dude!! %D</p>
<p>Everyone is equal.</p>
