Now that would have been a better topic to start a thread on under your own name instead of this one.

Hey poundpuppy, did it ever occur to you that whilst you were playing "jerk his bobber" that I was giving you rope? Hmmmmmm, probably not.

Who is now known to LIE here, you or I?

Who is NOT able to voice his opinion as himself because he is AFRAID of what others will think of him, you or I?

Who thinks he's smarter than most of the Faithful Fauna Readers, you or I?

Who is OBVIOUSLY NOT smarter than most of the Faithful Fauna Readers, you or I?

There is only ONE correct answer and, just so you get it right this time I'll tell you what it is.

YOU.

While YOU have done things for which YOU should appologize, I have not.

14.5 was far to generous.

Well, I guess only time will answer all those questions

There is just one of the above questions I want to address. I do not think I'm smarter than anybody. Should have never even brought that thing up. It invariably leads to rhetorical questions like, "Well, if you're so smart, then why....................".

I have done as many stupid things as the next guy. I have locked my keys in my car, forgotten my anniversary, misspelled words, run out of gas because I wasn't paying attention to the gauge, and run through the house naked and dripping wet, because I forgot to put a towel outside the shower.

I have enjoyed many positive exchanges with some of the members here, and if you read my other posts, I hope you can see that.

3) Really, dude, with the IQ you say you have, you should know better to attack people, bait them, call them names, call them jerks.

lucile,
having a high IQ means nothing.. it only means your brain works at high levels and has a better capability. by testing done on me throughout my whole life... they tell me i have an extremely high IQ way above even "normal" high IQ's but it doesnt mean crap.. it's how you use what you have. i went to college, did not finish nor get my degree (oh and i have this oh so high IQ). it's just a number. almost anyone can get a degree if they put there mind to it... it is not about intelegence but about the way the brain works... now you choso to use what have been given to you (lets say a high IQ) it might make it easier (so basically its not what you have but how use use it) ... i mean look at einstien brilliant mathmatian but had no social skills or street smarts and practically bordered on insanity. i saw a program on tv about an autistic man... he has one of the highest Iq's in the world but is at about a 4 year olds level (its the guy rainman was made after but i can remember his name)
look at my posts.. oh i have been known to call people much worse things than jerks and many times, but i take responsibility of my words and use no excuses. Look at my typing LOL and grmmar and even punctuation but these people still say i have this very high IQ and want me to be in all those smarty groups... its all just a number

Robin I was being facetious......

... it didn't seem as though, lucille

Intelligence is one thing, while common sense is another. Like Robin said having a high IQ doesn't mean much, especially if one doesn't use it properly. Just because you have a fast car doesn't mean you can always go fast. (i.e. I knew of this head of a department who was on CNN when the whole cloning of the sheep was going on. This guy could probably clone a sheep but couldn't make a pot of coffee).

Look again, then: This guy boasted about his IQ and then went on to bait Wes and taunt others on the board, that is REALLY not a smart thing to do.
But, perhaps it is your point (and mine) that no matter HOW high the numbers are, there are no guarantees as to actual behavior.

i cant clone a sheep or make a pot of coffee (well i can but i dont LOL... i dont know how much to put in per cup.. have to ask hubby) i personally dont go for coffe i prefer the much harder stuff mt. dew the drink of the universe
