Sign of Intelligence

[Sharky1203]

A true sign of intelligence is understanding that other people may have opinions that differ from yours, but you don't have to attack or berate them over it.

Not a lot of intelligence anymore on here.

Irony is a pretty good sign of intelligence.

So…..good job here?

And we have a winner! Congrats on being the first one to belittle.

I would say it’s more indicative of emotional intelligence not to resort to ad hominem attacks than actual IQ.

Also, not all opinions are equal in merit. There are in fact plenty of opinions worthy of disdain that should be immediately dismissed.

But it was an intelligent belittle.

So I win twice.

I'd lean towards you can't get punched in the mouth when you say stuff on a site.

It hurts twice as much because AC was supposed to wrestle at Iowa and then the next thing you know, he’s at Cal U.

Well, of course, but that cuts both ways.

Says the guy supporting the candidate that does nothing but belittle everyone, even his own followers.

Okay?

Okay?

Again: irony.

I take back my last comment about it being linked to intelligence.

You have thrown "irony" around a lot. Are you sure you know what it means?

 

[95Hawk]

You’ve provided two excellent examples of it.

So. Yeah.

If you’re not grasping it, your “signs of intelligence” point is spot on.

Cheers

Umm, I don't think any of my posts are examples.

Again. “Signs of intelligence”.

I’ll tap the sign more aggressively from this point forward.

Great. You’ve located a Webster’s dictionary.

Now back to Ragnar’s point: you’re suggesting true intelligence is understanding differences and not attacking them in the process.

Now here’s the ironic part: you’re supporting a guy that does exactly the opposite. So he’s not intelligent. Nor are his supporters.

I’m sorry I have to point out this obvious irony to you.

Cheers.

Oh Sharky. You’re so cute.

I’m done with you.

Why can't you answer? What guy am I supporting?

Hard to tell you’re not a Trump guy when your posts suggest that one of the “sides” is communist.

It’s silly. Like you don’t even understand what communism is.

I can't stand either candidate. But I really can't what the Democrats have become. They have abandoned the very people they used to represent. Blue collar workers, farmers and middle class people. Now the call those people fly overs. It's become the party of wealth. Republicans have their issues, but at least they are trying (many times wrong) to relate to the largest base in the voting public.

Okay. Well I can see that you’re living in an alternate reality. If the GOP’s attempts to “relate” to a voter base includes xenophobia, racism, and misogyny, then they’re doing a bang-up job.

Cheers.

I see it on both sides.

Your eyes wide open my friend. 20/20 vision right there

Ummm. Prove me wrong. Did you catch the Orange Turd yesterday? Or at any time in the past 9 years?

Tell me: what is the core GOP message these days? Drill baby drill? Deport them all? Really helpful to Joe Sixpack.

I think the point that the OP was going for was what you just did. Get your handler to explain it on your next break. 🙄

I apology that spitting facts = belittling in his (or your) world.

Such thin skin these days when the mirror is held up.

The issue I have is that many tend to present their opinions as facts.

Any/all
Sorry I’m watching Iowa kick the Huskies. Animal cruelty going on right now 37-10

Man, I gave up on the Iowa offense a few weeks ago. Jeesh. Good for Iowa.

I was just saying people who resort to name calling might still be intelligent but their emotional intelligence is probably lacking.

Okay - gotcha.

Okay?

So, by your measure, Trump must be the dumbest motherf***er on the planet.
