35. "He's not that smart"...
Edited on Sat Mar-06-10 09:21 PM by MonteLukast
He means "people smart", of course. The classic way freepers (and others) denigrate intellect and education. The REAL smarts are to be found in interaction with people, so the frat boy who drinks and parties every night and dates one hundred girls has a hell of a lot more smarts that count in the real world, than the geek with his nose in a book. Because it's all about Teh Social Skillz, baby. :eyes:

Sadly, this is how too many authority figures actually operate; which in part explains how our economy got the way it is. (never bothering to ask whether being a BMOC or a Glowing Figure Of Light™ actually gives you better communication prowess after all...)
