Sociopath Community

For hundreds of thousands of years mankind manged to move forward with little to no Education. You are delusional if you think books have a huge part to do with overal intelligence. Just because one person is good a math and the other isn't. Dosent make that person smarter. 

If I were to shadow a surgeon for long enough without any college. I could become just as efficient as he or she is. To me college is overated. Someone could go strait from high school into a law firm and from the experience he would learn hands on would make him just as good as a lawyer with college. Hands on and job experience is what makes you successfull.

Everytime you open your clueless mouth I think less and less of you. You are the first person I have ever met that has no clue how life works. I actually consider you partially retarded because of your lack of common sense. You will strugle every day for the rest of your life.

and i found this in his photobucket. i thought its interesting enough to post about

whats up with that

Also, lack of reading doesn't MAKE stupid. You may or may not remain with the same intelligence if you don't read. But if you read too much, at the wrong time, you will become stupider. 

Of course reading at the right doses is good, and there are challenging texts that will make you smarter by forcing you to decipher them, etc. But what we were analyzing here were the extremes: either read every waking hour of the day, or read nothing at all. And the latter is probably smarter than the former.

For hundreds of thousands of years mankind manged to move forward with little to no Education.

This is just wrong. People have always taught each another. Even in the most primitive cultures, learning and education of some form or another has always taken place. Whether it was hunting techniques or the passing on of oral history, all cultures have education - this is why we are a successful species.  Even animals have the ability to teach and learn. Your comment is indicative of your insecurity around people who have had a formal education.

If I were to shadow a surgeon for long enough without any college. I could become just as efficient as he or she is.

This is just pure arrogance. It takes about ten years, give or take, to become a surgeon and I doubt you would be able to attain the required amount of knowledge to reach the same level of proficiency as someone who has taken the tried and tested routes to becoming a surgeon. Doctors (of any kind) have to pour over books and retain a horrendous amount of raw information in order to progress in their training. Practical, hands-on knowledge is no substitute for a formalized, standardized education in a science. 

To me college is overated.

How would you know? Have you ever attended?

Someone could go strait from high school into
a law firm and from the experience he would learn hands on would make
him just as good as a lawyer with college.

This might be true, if you are extremely driven, intelligent and resourceful. Your point is invalid however because you would still have to be taught how to do the job, or at the very least put a lot of effort into study. Apprenticeships are great things, but they tend to work best for trades like joinery and mechanics.  They are nonetheless forms of education and many apprenticeships are at least semi-formalized.  Translation: you need to read books.

Hands on and job experience is what makes you successfull.

And how do you get into the job that you need in order to gain that hands on experience? Yeah, you got it - you study.

Everytime you open your clueless mouth I think less and less of you. You
are the first person I have ever met that has no clue how life works. I
actually consider you partially retarded because of your lack of common
sense. You will strugle every day for the rest of your life.

You think that just because your life has been hard that you are somehow in possession of great wisdom. You may have been around the block a few times, but people who have put time into learning things, and not only learning things but learning them to an advanced level, are far more capable and likely to gain life experience AFTER they finish studying than you, the ex-convict sex criminal, are. Furthermore, a lot of them do.

Despite your lack of communication skills, you are not an idiot. However, intelligence and knowledge are completely different things and, in reference to the latter, you seem to have very little, if any. You have the ability to change though. If you were to strive and court a formal education you would be better off because of it. But I think you will choose to continue to stagnate in ignorance.

And finally...

You are delusional if you think books have a huge part to do with overal
intelligence. Just because one person is good a math and the other
isn't. Dosent make that person smarter.

Books don't make you smarter, they fuel that which is already there. They also provide you knowledge - something essential if you are going to amount to anything in life. There are books out there that have been written by men much smarter than anybody on this forum and you can't say that practical, hands-on work experience is a more effective teaching tool when the men who write these books are the same men who would be teaching you how to do your job during your apprenticeship. If a master carpenter writes a book about carpentry and you want to be a carpenter, even if you were studying as his apprentice, would it not be advisable to read that book?

You're not stupid, but you are ignorant. If you choose not to change that, at least have some modesty.

This guy. +1^

Good lord.

The only thing I really have to add to myrealname's awesome reply is this: I don't have a college degree myself but I don't feel the need to go around hating on those who do. That is just as narrow-minded as people who dismiss those without formal education as being unintelligent. And besides, why would it bother me how other people were educated when I am secure and successful in my own life choices, knowing that I made the best of the opportunities which I had?

Your insecurities are glaring and obvious, to the point where it's almost not even funny anymore because it's so sad. You are consumed with bitterness and regret, and desperately wish you could have your time over again so you could do things differently. You're beginning to realise that you can't hide behind your childhood, your racism or a personality disorder, and the only person to blame for your problems is you. But you don't have the emotional maturity to deal with that so you lash out about 'kids' and 'intelligence', probably without even having the self-awareness to see how vulnerable it makes you. You are weak.

Just to clarify my 'lack of reading can make you stupider' comment. Everyone (unless they're retarded) is born with an intellect. But if you don't nurture and develop it then you will start to lose it. Reading books is one of the main ways of doing that, seeing as someone who doesn't read probably doesn't have intellectual debates with people in real life, and there is only so much that can be gained from surfing the internet and watching TV.

Perhaps reading only celebrity autobiographies and chick-lit could have a detrimental effect on someone's IQ, but I think it's unlikely that reading something actually intelligent could make you stupider. If you were very stupid to start with then you have nothing to lose.

And there is not much point in analysing the extremes. I've never heard of anyone who does nothing but read all day, and I only know very few people who don't read at all. Most fall somewhere in between the two.

Also, lack of reading doesn't MAKE stupid. You may
or may not remain with the same intelligence if you don't read. But if
you read too much, at the wrong time, you will become stupider. 

Of course reading at the right doses is good, and there are challenging
texts that will make you smarter by forcing you to decipher them, etc.

To an extent, I agree. If you read the wrong things at the wrong time you can indoctrinate yourself accidentally and make yourself resistant to knowledge. I think that is why it is important to have teachers to guide you through new and potentially dangerous ideas.

Lack of reading may not make you stupid, but it will make you ignorant. That is the main problem with whoameye.

I'd considered sexual abuse as a possible contributing factor for Whoameye's supposedly externalizing behaviour. Who, at the age of forty-two, needs to come on to an anonymous internet forum to distinguish himself from everyone else who's using a pseudonym on that anonymous forum? I didn't realize he'd sexually assaulted his brother; I would not be surprised to find out that this were true though.

I find it fascinating that despite not being inherently stupid - he's actually reasonably intelligent - Whoa is unable to see that this board owns him. He came here to create an identity for himself where he saw one lacking, and perhaps because of this motive, his identity is now being moulded by members of the forum who dictate to him in their responses how he should display his insecurities. Someone points out his grammatical failures; he takes to using his iPad to address the issue (and then admits it). Another person accuses him of being afraid of educated people based on his repeated attempts to classify himself as having gained "common sense" by virtue of being alive for forty-two years (which I admit that in his case is probably an achievement in itself) and he responds by insisting that educated people think that they're better than him (thus telling those same people that he believes them to be better than he is)... the guy's sensitivity rivals TK's. In fact, I'm starting to believe that TK has actually put her fat ass out to sea and is currently in the process of trying to float to the USA in the misguided belief that she and Whoa will live happily ever after (that'd explain her absence on this forum, at least!).

ever thought about shooting yourself with that gun of yours? its a good idea. what was the term... ahh yes, you are a waste of oxygen.

no i am not just insulting you. no i am not a kid. no i do not lack intelligence. you are an arrogant moron who acts like a child, with delusions about himself. there now i answered the question thats ambiguously asked in your username. this is not just an insult, its exactly what i think when i read your posts, i know you actually mean it.

you taunt the people you call kids, just like a kid yourself, while clearly denying being one. this means you are full of shit.

and your arrogance has no base at all. you spew and spew and spew moronic crap, then you say you are right because you are a 40 years old. if your attitude here is also this open and the same irl, i doubt you have any success irl in anything. what was it, you had daddy issues, you fucked up your brother and went to jail, you become a neo nazi moron and now you waste your time trying to show off your huge dick to everyone in this forum. or you are lying about stuff, in which case you are a really retarded and sad person.

as a conclusion, you spew shit thats not funny, interesting or correct. what good are you? none. i will continue to skim your bullshit like i used to. You should consider dosing yourself in gasoline and then set it on fire. stream that shit i want to watch, make your death interesting.

i wont even explain my reasoning. you dont deserve it. maybe if you pull your head out of your own asshole, we could talk again.
