my 2 cents: retfan, you are a disgrace australia, I am genuinely upset that people from all over the world associate your personality (not your intelligence - it is clear you are an intelligent person) with our country. i kindly request you hide australia from other TL members. secondly: i kindly request you see a psychologist to work on your self esteem. while obviously not recognizable to you, it is strikingly evident that you have a need to assert yourself as someone who has excelled in -most if not all- areas of life. the problem lies not in the fact that you have excelled, rather your desire to assert it. i feel sorry for you. ganfei: thankyou - there is nothing more refreshing watching someone as intelligent as you passionately(important word) out-wit the man-with-the-most-wit. reminds me of that scene in good will hunting (with matt damon) shutting down the guy who recites quotes from textbooks. i recognize that i am not nearly as clever as a several members here, hence not embarrassing myself trying to sound smarter than i really am. it would only result in terrible..... <insert everything about the english language here> | ||

just when I was waiting for another China or Religion thread to blow into 20 pages of 500 word posts, this comes along. I love TL and this is why. OP I really really hope this was all a huge "baby's first troll" and we were all taken for a ride, cuz damn if assholes like you really exist. Teamliquid Hall of Fame | ||

it's nice to have good credentials, but it's really stupid to bring them up before your credentials are challenged. And if you present a coherent and convincing argument, you normally won't even have to. | ||

I think it's obvious, at least in my eyes that you fall into this category. But good luck. I'm sure you'll make lots of money. | ||

I skimmed through this thread on my phone at the airport earlier (so I didn't exactly read every post) and I really think everyone is overreacting. I kind of feel bad for this guy, I don't think he meant to come off as being an arrogant d-bag. : / If he didn't then it's worse, he actually is the way he seems from the OP. For a borderline genius lawyer his argumentation failed pretty badly, and the responses in this thread are proof of it. From my own experience the top 1-2% are the normal people, rest are idiots or just don't give a fuck. The only exceptional people I've met are either somewhere around top 0.1% or simply excel at 1-2 subjects and don't give a rat's ass about the rest. | ||

I'm sorry, I read that and almost died choking on a piece of toast. Your post is so hilariously elitist that I can't even tell if you're serious. PLUS, understanding this situation with the barest minimum of hearsay reports and barely any understanding of Koran culture is kind of... humorous. I fail to see how on EARTH this proves that your reasoning and analytic skills are superior to anyone's... or how that makes lawyers any less evil | ||

How can Steve Jobs be smart enough to do what he did but think that a vegan diet and acupuncture were a good alternative to surgery for treating pancreatic cancer? I ask myself these questions everyday and it boggles my mind every time | ||

They are there because I want readers to understand that what I write, my analytical skills and the depth which I can view a situation is such that MOST other readers will not be able to match. Anyone who manages to come off as a tosser through text format isn't as bright as they think. | ||

Depends on the kind really, some can take out their intestins and wash them or something disgusting like that and they don't die. So i guess they maxed endurance too. They just can't wield two handed axes. | ||

I have to admit, though, when I see such a long post which starts by saying how genius he is that I first read the reactions to it. After reading them, I didn't even bother reading the whole thing. So basically, I have nothing to contribute, but I wanted to be a part of this super blog. If nothing else - cheers to Australia! | ||
