In Reply to: I am saying that everybody deserve equal respect on this website and they are not inferior to you and your intellect, Bartholomew. It won't hurt your to be kind to others. posted by KJ Always (216.76.208.188) on May 06, 2002 at 03:14:05:

> Congratulations on your achievements! My close friends are intellectuals, especially my best friend who went to an honors college. They are wild at that school. I don't see intellectuals to be any different from anybody else behind close doors. Publically, they are more shy and reserve. I find they are enjoyable to talk to in person or online with Asian people.

"I can't say anything negative about your achievements so I'm going to accept them so I won't look like a poor sport! Intellectuals (by which I mean you) aren't exceptional or better than me in any way."

> I can appreciate intellectuals discipline to stay focus and excel in what they are doing. They admire my sociability and social ease. My best friend tells me that I am a genuis with dealing with people and helping them. I know they are shy, especially the computer nerds. I know a lot of Type 5 (the most intellectual oriented ones) can be found in the 24 hour Wal-Mart shopping in the middle of the night avoiding crowds. They don't like crowds. They are like secret treasures!

"I'm still trying to seem like not a poor sport! I'm as smart as you because I am social! Intellectuals (by which I mean you) have their failing points, such as socially, so they (you) really aren't smarter than me! But I don't want to seem like I'm too critical of such a large group so I'm going to compliment them!"

> Bartholomew, I don't care what you think of me because you are too critical and rude to people thinking of yourself as superior of them because of your intellect. When you get older, I am sure you will become as wise as my friends are, I hope. The book called "The Tao of Pooh" made me realized that Intellectualism is an illusion and that wisdom is what I want to seek. I also learned this from examples of children and adults who are so intelligent that they are wise. A minister reminded me that I will not find what I am looking for in my mind, it is in my heart, he was right.

"You insulted me so I'm going to insult you! I'm going to be patronizing because I don't like you doing the same thing! I take credit for my friends' achievements as justifaction for my patronizing attitude! I'm feeling defensive about my intelligence so I want to say that my philosophy is better than yours!"

> Bartholomew, I don't remember God telling me that I was born to live up to your expectations and ideology! Any problem that you have with me and others, is actually a problem you have with yourself. You feel you are wasting your words on me, it is okay because I can live very happily without your negativity! I value wisdom above intellectualism. You are more westernized than I am, so that is part of the westernize culture, the Caste system and confucious. You have a right to your beliefs and way of life, and I have a right to mines. I learn things from a world view, which surprises people, sometimes, to know that I am actually an American.

"I'm still feeling defensive! So I'm going to repeat that I think my philosophy is great and yours is worthless! So there! And my philosophy makes me unique!"

> I feel very fortunate to have the opportunities to learn from various of cultures and religions that shapes me more into my International outlook that allows me to connect with people from all over the world. I love it. I rather socialize and talk to people than to study, though I admire those people whose IQ is not as high as mines who study and work very hard to achieve their goals and graduate on the top of the class! That impressed me and blew my mind.

"Socialization is more important than philosophy anyway! You're not so smart! And work is more important than intelligence, which I'm still feeling intimidated by!"

> You and I have different way of looking at people. You see them inferior to your intellect. And I see people as one with each other and with the Universe, including the retarded people. I believe everybody has gift(s) to contribute to this world in some kind of way. Some people discover their purpose for being here and some don't, but everybody is here for a reason, I think. I try to look at the big picture. I am glad that people benefit from my insightfulness because that is my gift to share with them along with my humor! The people that I help becomes my hero because of their ability to overcome the obstacles that became a thing of their past.

"You and I have a different way of looking at people, and my way is better! I'm still feeling intimidated so I'm going to call you an egotist! And I'm going to distort your views to make them look bad! I'm better than you are, you egotist!"

> Well, Bartholomew, I know you like to debate, so would you be so kind to find someone who likes to debate with you because I rather use my energy in a positive way. There are enough room in this website where we can respect one another's space to be ourselves. I won't bother to answer your questions because it will not meet your expectations since everybody's intellect seems to be inferior to yours.

"Debating is negative and bad! If you're going to debate, I'm going to take my toys and go home!"

> So, if you feel like you are wasting your words with me, don't do that to yourself, dude. Have a great day and a nice life. You know being kind is not such a bad thing, it is quite rewarding, and it does not cost anything. I am sorry you feel insulted, but why should you have more special treatment than how you treat others, insulting their intelligence. Remember, I don't like double standards. I think everybody deserve equal respect and positive regard on this website. If you don't feel that way, we will never agree! I don't want to be friends with people who are not nice and that is my right.

"Again, I don't want to come across as a poor sport, at least on the surface!"
