    Because intelligence is situational. An English PhD could be the smartest person in the room if the discussion was about Shakespeare. Conversely, that same English PhD could be the dumbest person in that same room if the discussion turned to math or auto mechanics etc. Beyond that, knowledge, just like statistics in sports, can be manipulated to support whatever belief a person may want to have. Personal, political and religious biases often come into play, resulting in intelligent people making stupid statements.

    Intelligence and education are not the same thing. You can educate a monkey all you want, that won't make it smart.

    The question is, are they smarter than they would have been without the degree? Before I got my PhD in Anthropology, I would regularly eat soap and piss in the clothes hamper. Since the degree, I always use the toilet to piss in. And the soap? Armpits, baby. Always the armpits.

    Education makes you smart-er.

    Sig-worthy. :D

    For those who don't know, yeah... there's a bit of history here. Last week I think I said that I wish that he would die in the deserts of Arizona, a slow painful death in the scorching sun. You know, classic World Rivalries smack.

    I don't say that to other Mexican posters, b/c I don't wish that upon them.

    Just the Neanderthals. You know... thinning the herd. It's ... like... natural or something.

    I constantly get on Perndog for his utter stupidity. I feel it's my duty as an educator of Hispanics that he get called out for perpetuating the stereotype of Hispanics being stupid.

    I mean... if you protest about mistreatment of immigrants -- a cause I deeply believe in -- and the stereotypes they have to overcome, shouldn't you yourself at least try to show that it's a stereotype?

    Instead, Perndog seems to relish in his stupidity. If only his teachers knew just how miserably they failed. If I were his teacher, I think I would just quit the profession.

    How come education failed you Perndog?

    No pongo en tela de duda tu profesion, mas si, la intencion. Se te hace demasiado facil jactarte de algo, que en mi opinion, requiere de mucha humildad.

    Cada quien su estilo..

    Oh come on, Steve. If you knew of half the shit that Perndog has done you'd see why I give him a hard time. His blind support of guys that have been banned for posting pix of ppl jumping out of the WTC on 9/11 as some sort of "Wull, they're 'Merikan, and Americans mistreat Mexicans, so there."

    I throw every stereotype in Pern's face b/c I know that it bugs him. Plus, he has spent a good portion of the last 3 years harassing me endlessly.

    If Perndog's going to bring WR to the Education forum by insulting the education process, he deserves any crap that he gets.

    I don't have a PhD. I have a BSEE and a MSEE. I'll tell you what though....I can't make a potato salad to save my life:mad:. The last time I tried, I over-cooked the first batch (mashed potatoes anyone?) and under-cooked the second batch. To save you all the embarrassment of doing this yourself, mixing the two batches together doesn't work.:D:D

    its only me here

    stereotypes dont bug me at all, its the malicious intent behind them

    its cool

    I know there's many despicable people in this world and u are just one of them.

    That was two years ago, and I have heard of those losers on the Mexicant boards who go around neg repping people so I really don't blame him.

    You are a loser, and this thread is way off topic. One thing is for sure: all the education in the world will not make Perndog any smarter

    dream on

    Hm.

    And I wonder what that stems from... Your incessant harassment of me in neg rep over a 3 year period.

    Let's be abundantly clear. I do NOT go after you in rep, I only reciprocate your harassment. (Although there was a period of about 2 weeks when you were off the boards/out of town/unfortunately not dying in the desert when I slammed you several times; good times!).

    But your little rep war is entirely driven by WR. In fact, once you got informed that Mexicans negging me in WR get turned to positive rep you miraculously stopped negging me there.

    Why... b/c you won't ever leave me alone?

    I've told you for 3 years: leave me alone and I disappear. You stop stalking me like you do, and I'm gone. That's always been the case and forever will be the case.

    Try it. Just try it.

    When you've left me alone for 3, 4 weeks... what's happened? You haven't heard from me. Hmmmm.

    I thought you were going to leave YOUR world rivalries shenanigans out of this. :rolleyes:

    So let's be clear: you have zero ability to assess intelligence b/c you're dumb as a rock and you come here and insult teachers and their life work. Thanks for sharing. Now scoot and leave. Adults are talking here. You can't hang.

    lol u full of yourself

    my last post on this thread, mods close this, as now the stalker in karla has been exposed and now I know I cant post anywere else were karla cant find me.

    btw thats kinda creepy that you keep track of how often I neg rep u.

    I bet you print screen the neg reps and file them away in the "but we gotta be organized" folder.

    How often have you posted in this forum? How many threads have you started? Have much advice have you given?

    YOU came to one of MY favorite fora, and you say I'm stalking YOU????

    Try posting in this forum for a bit b4 you make that assessment.

    Let's see. You rarely post in MLS News; you NEVER have the guts to post more than a phrase or 2 in US Mens; you never post in LA Galaxy forum; you never post here. These are the fora that I frequent aside from WR.

    All of the sudden you post an insulting thread, you get pounced on and now you're crying that I'm picking on you?

    No. It's just really easy to keep track of the few negs I get from a small handful of ppl. And when it happens week after week, month after month, year after year... it doesn't take a PhD to notice a pattern.

    No. YOU do that. It's encouraged on the Mexico boards.

    Do you always do such extensive research b4 posting?

    Pern: you know nothing about this forum as evidenced by this clip, and you have the nerve to say that I'm stalking you.
