I have no problem with the "slacker" part. Slacking is voluntarily, somebody simply chose to to put a lot of work into a video game.<br /><br />But if you call somebody a moron, you call him mentally retarded, you call him handicapped. That is simply not justified.Toboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354082945218389596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542045753077773657.post-9335770672339495662011-02-13T13:12:25.191-08:002011-02-13T13:12:25.191-08:00If you were such a genius, you'd have done the...If you were such a genius, you'd have done the minimal bit of research (aka Google) needed to find out what I actually said. I never said there were no slackers, I just said that the people you observe are extremely unlikely to be "morons" in the scientifically correct definition of the word, that is having an IQ of less than 70. "Moron" is a term for a handicapped person, a mentally retarded human being. You really think everybody who doesn't move out of the fire in WoW is medically speaking mentally retarded?Toboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354082945218389596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542045753077773657.post-19378095055712987272011-02-11T15:57:24.428-08:002011-02-11T15:57:24.428-08:00@wilson

I never said Algebra was difficult, though to the other student I mentioned, it obviously was.<br /><br />Also, if you insist on knowing my situation at the time, you should probably know I was two years younger than everybody else in my class and I was STILL the best student.<br /><br />And I had no issue with further math.<br /><br />Finally, you seem to think I am calling the other stupid just because I am comparing him to me. Maybe I should have worded it differently. I think that the average student could have understood it just fine after the lecture and the homework. But that student did not, even after MORE resources were provided. That makes him stupid (relatively, and because he is below average).Clovishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613862220080538940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542045753077773657.post-90339938423677438072011-02-11T12:36:08.490-08:002011-02-11T12:36:08.490-08:00So where does it end?

When I got to college I had to actually work at it... I didn't want to work at it and I wasn't smart enough to understand it instantly. I was a moron and a slacker, and I got what I deserved; a boot out of the school.<br /><br />You being better at something than him or me means you're better at it than we are. Saying anything else is a lie.<br /><br />If we take offense at this it is our problem not yours.
