If people are who claim you're intelligent, then people need to be questioned (each and every one). They need to answer why you're intelligent, substantially.

Intelligence is not a vote, intelligence is an adaptation of the mind.

"What?" or a show of misconception is not substantial proof that one is intelligent or one has the intelligent view in a debate or discussion.

Your statements are a bit garbled. What is the point of your post? Do you have a question?
 
This is the general discussion board.

'Something' was posted.

You dismissed the whole of that 'something', and have produced an off-topic comment. It's your post that's garbled.

I vote that the OP is not intelligent.
Why is that?

My mind has adapted to the world; I, personally, live quite fortunately.

Because I voted so. You want to characterize intelligence by votes, so the very action of my vote means you're not intelligent. If you want a reason, then you admit it's not the vote that makes somebody intelligent.

I, personally, live quite fortunately.

Cool. I'm happy for you.

You misunderstood or didn't read the original post, or you're trolling me with a pseudo-sense of a greater intelligence.
 
micromass said:
If your original post is so incredibly vague, then it's not our fault for not understanding you! It's yours. My vote stands.
Nope, just your understanding of it.

Soon you will form a group of people who misunderstand and attempt to destroy the thread.
 
micromass said:
Trust me, destroying this thread would be the merciful thing to do!
Because?

Because you've provided a non-argument, non-discussion and are reducing it all to your primitive self, your wants and emotions.

My mind has adapted to thinking your posts make no sense.

No, your mind has not adapted.

Is being omniscient a part of having an adapted mind?
 
micromass said:
His mind can't adapt?
No, it didn't adapt, he was just joking.

No.
 
You guys make no sense.

The intelligent thing to do is leave you alone and fix your mistakes from the outside.

An old quote from me: "This wisdom will echo throughout the world, and the only force to stop it is your own."

You are not wise, unfortunately.

Why do you think I was joking?
 
Cruz Martinez said:

I'm smart like that.

Same reason as you think I'm unintelligent.
 
micromass said:
You're reducing our carefully crafted arguments to your primitive self, your wants and emotions.
This is the epitome of your intelligence, seriously.

Next you cry at moderation to abuse their power in your favour, which they will do happily, probably with some wit involved.
 
micromass said:
How can you tell you're smart when we just voted you to be not intelligent!
You are the one who is dependent on the vote for your feeling of intelligence, not me.

Oh yes, you most definitely are as smart as something.
