So i suppose the thread should be called "i'm a borderline genius student, AMA" But then you realize that his claim to be a 'borderline genius' is his own opinion and based upon his own definition of genius. I don't know many geniuses that go around starting threads that open with "i'm a borderline genius" as if it is in any way relevant or adds any credibility to what they are about to say. So i suppose the thread should be called "i'm an immature overachiever who hasn't experienced the real world enough to know I sound like a jackass, AMA" Then again, for a post so stupid that is claiming to be written by a genius, I'm having a hard time believing this isn't an elaborate troll attempt. In the event that you aren't a troll, you should know: scholastic success does not make you a genius. It makes you someone who's put a high value on achieving scholastic success that lives in an environment that does not stop you from reaching scholastic success. If you put most of the people in the world in the right environment and motivate them correctly, they will all be in the 'top 1-2%'. You are not inherently more capable than everyone around you. Chill changed the thread title, that's not what it was originally titled. Fits so well though, doesn't it? | ||

I mean come on, these guys are likely to be the top students going to some of the best universities in the world. They have a right to be proud; they've had to sacrifice so much get in. Are these people not allowed to brag about their achievements? Really? I'm doing a graduate degree at a world class school and I still think you're a cock. | ||

If you had to choose three of four professionals listed below to bring with you to an abandoned island set up a colony. Which one would you leave out? " Your choices are: Doctor, engineer, scientist, or lawyer. Most people will ask that the lawyer be left out. [...] I challenge that view. "I am the 1% - a doctor, dentist, lawyer, engineer and scientist all at once; therefor only I would be needed at such a deserted island, alone. My objectivity, geniality and flossing skills, as such, are prima facie. Anyone on the island would testify to my achievements and credentials -  - I do have a stunning smile. Could use a knife on the island though.I would be in good company with my colleagues, which I've named after myself, namely: Arthur, Blake, Stephen and Jaques because they, after all, are me. I might need a counselor degree - no, I meant psychiatrist - wait, what? I won't be needing that knife after all." + Show Spoiler + On November 17 2011 22:19 Chill wrote: Thread renamed.

I thought he seriously named his thread this, which made it all the more hilarious. Too bad. Still funny, though. | ||

Re: This atrocity It is with regret that we have to inform you that our quality assurance process has failed. A thorough and independent investigation is under way into how this douche managed to evade deportation. Our sincerest apologies Every sane Australian. Seriously, no matter your qualifications, there is no excuse for being a stuckup prick. If you were any sort of lawyer you would know that your argument is what is important not where you studied. | ||

Haven't really got anything else to say that hasn't been said already. I agree that this would be a freaking brilliant troll, but...I don't think it is. BRILLIANT! | ||

Here I was thinking about it being an Lawyer doing AMA. Instead it's a rant on SC2 Match fixing. Which to my experience has already been covered loads before. Take out the AMA part of this title thanks. Replace the title with: A lawyers view on match fixing(Focus on SC2). Doesn't need to state genius or intelligence. If the writing and explanation is there. It will be sufficient. Edit: So title has been renamed. What was it before? (Coco/Byun: Why Lawyers are Important <- OLD TITLE) Chill did an alright job changing it then. Appropriately conveying a level of arrogance in the title that can then be found in the post. Update: Ok, actually read the whole thing.He's a condescending prick of a writer who continues the popular idea of lawyers being jackasses, who deserve a good clip around the ears. To sum up: RetFan has mastered assflappery of the highest order. | ||
