That's the way it looks to me.

Yep, that's the reason I can write a check for everything you have and it wouldn't bounce. I really am a moron.

Yeah, just curious about how you determine how smart somebody is.

What they accomplish in their life.

Whether they work for the government which is basically living off other peoples taxes.

Posts they make on some forum.


Whether you lived through the greatest opportunity to be prosperous the world has ever seen and have nothing.

Just curious how one can be incredibly smart and have nothing to show for it.

How does that work ?

ZJunk,

We end up all the same Dude!

All one can hope for is health and a happy life.

My personal experience in sixty plus years, those who claim self proclaim superiority fail to measure up in reality.

That works pretty well to make the average and below average feel better.


Well, I really don't know you so sorry about that response. These other guys I know to be morons.

So, I actually agree with you really.

Aptitude and ambition varies, individual to individual.

Apparently you've touched a nerve, judging by the response. Well done.

We are all in a lot of ways victims of our circumstances. Some are more fortunate and some less and not all success can be measured with money.

So what do you gain by putting those whom you deem to be less successful than you by your own measure? I am just curious, no being envious.

Or this simply a right wing righteous vs. liberal loser thing?

How they accomplished it is of no small importance, perhaps more important than the achievement itself. By that standard, Trump is far from admirable
