i cannot take it any more!!! you people are gonna bust my gut with this :>
foss, waldmann and others, you are too funny! i sit down, get ready to
jump into my email, take a deep breath because i fear another explosion,
and VIOLA, here you make me laugh!
thank you very much; i just had to laugh hahaha!!
and for another side, }|) what is you alls definition of stupid anyway?
some are saying naive, others prefer uneducated/educatable, and so on. i
think of stupid more in terms of something that you know is wrong,
incorrect, unhealthy, and so on. i guess mine is a contextual definition
from people saying "Boy, was that stupid."
also, i wanted to throw something in there about foss's comment on
Weber and the loony bin. aren't all you braniacs a little eccentric?
the "fathers" of sociology are all a little bizarre (Comte wanted
socio-priests to lead us to some greater world later in his life i do
believe). doesn't 'smartness' entail high brain activity in some fashion
and when your brain's going a
zillion words a minute, you could be a bit confused. geniuses
are all a bit off balance; don't you all suffer from some
idiosyncrasies. i mean i obviously suffer from delusions of grandure ;]
i may just be an idiot-savant, so just smile and nod your head :>
lane schilmoeller };) (imp winks and says, "later")
ps because you, plural, often like tearing up what is meant to be a joke,
that bit about brain activity, i really don't know, it just sounded
appropriate, so don't zap me on that. I do remember someone posting
something about people with higher IQs not showing as much brain activity
when solving test questions or somehting like that. oh well, i am one of
the stupid after all...
