For me it has to be learning that will benefit me.

Is he trying to tell other people what to do with their bodies?

Is he seeking power?

And somehow you intuitively know what will benefit you, without actually knowing it? Impressive.

If children in grade school were allowed to have that attitude, there would BE no college students. We'd be living in Idiocracy.

...come to think of it, though ...

She considers herself "intelligent" so she subscribes to Neo-Malthusian views and later goes on to talk about all the African-American mothers irresponsibly having babies. Apparently she got this from her business professor and riding MARTA. Yet, those with the #1 birth rate in the US are Hispanic.

Now, as one of the basis of these views, she believes only intelligent people should reproduce. The Irony is coming.

She's a psych major still taking classes, who is not good at math, nor has she taken any upper level science(Anatomy & Physiology, Physics, Upper level Chemistry). She bases this on her SAT scores and the IOWA test of basic skills, which she will not tell me what they are, but mine could easily beat hers.

She can't control her addiction to certain substances.

And recently, a friend of mine was talking to her and my friend had to explain what "Double Entendre" meant.

And she also thinks someone can be gay if they talk about someone they associate with business wise and is not up on current events.

I have really dodged a bullet. Seriously, "Double Entendre" was taught to us in 10th-11th grade, unless there is something I am missing here. . . . . . .

PS. I forgot that she is in her mid twenties and doesn't know what a CD(Certificate of Deposit) is, so finance is not it.

Sounds like you're just trying to find a way to have a one-up on someone. Numbers don't necessarily represent intelligence, nor does knowing what a specific word means. It's entirely possible for someone with an IQ of 200 to have simply never come across a certain word. If you want to have someone to judge, by all means go ahead, but if I were you, I would at least realize that's what you're doing.

Yep at times I think so too.

As long as she doesn't touch my Katt.

No he used to system to support his every day living.

Ok, tell me what the NAMBLA as a group can teach me.

How to love a man?

How to love a boy?

How to love a manboy?

How to love a man like a boy?

How to love a boy like a man?

How to make love to a boy in space?

Please tell me.

You say this, but she is the one who bought up her SAT and IOWA test scores as what makes her "intelligent". She is the one using numerical tests, while withholding such numbers. You can say I'm trying to judge, but she already judged a large group of people and said they shouldn't reproduce.

Think about that.

Trying to say "Numbers aren't everything" and "Don't Judge" are not applicable when she feels the numbers are what she uses to say why she is intelligent and then judges people because she feels they are not. Do you not realize that is what she was doing? I did.

It sounds like you didn't read.

PS. I rarely even think about the IOWA test of basic skills or the SAT. Who will look at that after I turn 25?

Like the notably African-American mothers on welfare the girl was talking about?
