I would so love to know how people can judge me for being something I am not. Like say "stupidity", I got a Pm today with that word inside. I would love to know how I can walk out with a four year degree in biology and still be considered stupid. I'm sorry was there a news flash or something stating that people with college degrees are stupid? Cause apparently I missed that memo.
Also I would like to know when I ever begged? I don't think I have anything really stating "donate to me or you die" in my signature. Gees I thought it was just a quest bar. Since when do quest bars talk? I would love to know when mine started talking!
Yes people have a right to disagree with something, and also agree on something. But doesn't mean that person is "weird". Thank you for correcting me that I am in fact not normal! I like being an individual with the capability to actually make up my own mind on what I like and what I don't like. I dislike trends, I like doing something against the crowd. I like being abnormal, if this makes me weird, then so be it!
*puffs out chest and walks off*

hehe, you go girl! biggrin
I don't think someone's intelligence is inherently connected to one's degree. And I do believe there are varying areas of intelligence; one can be, for instance, be a 'brilliant' genetecist, while another can be 'street smart'; another can be a genius in mathematics, while someone else can be called a 'basketball genius'.
But the problem lies in people and their acceptance of these varying areas of intelligence. Some foolishly think that because one is inadequately knowledgeable in one area is overall unintelligent, which simply isn't true.
I just generally have a dislike it when people insinuate someone is 'stupid', and I particularly feel offended when I'm specifically targeted. That's not to say I won't joke around with people and call them 'stoopit' or 'stupid', but only when I know the person well and only when that person knows I am simply kidding around.

All true Ethan.
I think people just assume a person's lack of intelligence based upon what they know of an internet site.

Don't let the turkeys get you down. Try to develop less sensitivity to what people say. When you have grace under pressure you are in control, not letting others control you and call the shots. Distance yourself from these remarks. Try to have no emotion about them. If you are talking about Gaia, and I think you are, then know that these are children, most of them American, and very spoiled. What they say to you has no importance, though we listen of course and though we may take steps to reprimand the user based on the quality of the insult. But this should be done without emotion.
