Study proves that every Internet forum participant.....

[Binkie The Clown]

...is smarter than every other Internet forum participant.

Just think of how many times you've read variations on "I know what's best for the country/world/human race, and the rest of you are completely wrong."

You know what I say is true, because I'm an forum participant, which makes me smarter than all the rest of you.

2. The combined smartness quotient on the intertubes threatens to create a smartypants singularity

that threatens virtual life as we know it.

"Your ideas on how to bring peace to the planet are stupid and wrong."

So you were in the Gifted and Talented Education program. So was practically every other saliva-pot with a domain name and a text editor. For that matter, so was the guy next door who believes that Mars is made of styrofoam. The world is not waiting for your revealed truth. Crime, war, prejudice, and hate have not been hanging around all these millennia waiting for your mom to forget her pill so that you can eradicate them. Complex problems don't have simple solutions. Any five-paragraph essay that claims to be able to end any problem that's been around for more than a three years has no more worth than a program that fills the screen with the sentence "I TOOK MY PARENTS' PRAISE TOO SERIOUSLY."

9. going to open my mouth and remove any doubt

consider the possibility

That America is in the middle of a new kind of civil war - fought mostly on the internet - and its really amazing to look at so many Americans that have a broken and erroneous belief system.

For what that semi-coherent thought may be worth......

Secondly, I've noticed some of that civil war playing out on DU. Hillary vs. Bernie stuff. A lot of mis-information and scripted talking points interspersed with valid points.

Speaking of valid points, I've been on DU since the early GWB dark ages and it's always been key to springboarding to REALLY GOOD AND VALID INFORMATION. There are also really good and well informend and perceptive and analytical posters on DU that I really appreciate.

11. ..."am 'an' forum participant"?

Well I am just 'a' forum participant...but I might not be smarter than a third grader. Hard tellin' these days, most of the lil' rascals have twitter n facebook accounts while I have no clue how to set one up!

The earth is 6000 yrs old,made in 6 days, talking snakes, miracles etc.
And I point that out to them every time they accuse liberals not using real facts. LOL
