Others need no 'beliefs', and assess the merits or lack of same on a issue by issue basis. Damn logic...it has no place for foolishness...doesn't make one feel as comfy about things...presents challenges...

Wow, what a great question Chris. What, IYO, led in becoming smarter than everyone else? Could it be genetic makeup? What about the whole nature vs. nuture argument. Did you get lots of love and support growing up that the masses did not? Was the environment where you grew up more conducive to logical thought than elsewhere in the country? Was it special schooling that led to your enviable position today or simply dumb luck. Perhaps by getting to the root of your intellectual success future generations of masses will no longer have to wallow in their own stupidity.

Not to pick on you Rap, but I had to pick somebody ...
Here are some of your worst gaffes:
I'd think the Left wing would be cheering for the terrorist next time. I just think that next time, those on the Left will be cheering WHILE the attacks are going on ... I wasn't speaking of ALL the Lefties (the last bit is called a climb-down)
You mean shackle themselves to the womb to tomb mentality of the LEFT. That IS fucking sad. The Left is , by definition, womb to tomb Nanny state (making up facts as you go along)
OUR party is trying to do something important, like fight Islamic terroirst.(while quagmired in Iraq no less !)
It is the Liberal M.O., and it pisses you off that I nailed it dead to rights. You just don't like being called out on it. (What was the point again ??)
No,it's YOUR party which wants to drag out partisan investigation after investigation, screaming about Impeachment ... (Yes, the investigations have been dragging on for years - years - costing tens of millions of dollars already !)
None of MY freedoms have been taken away. (White republican. At least you still can vote, unlike some). Have yours ? (Shall I list the ways we've ALL lost our rights ? Naw, you wouldn't read it anyway.) Oh, you mean the 'freedom' to attack the sitting President when he's of a different political party ? That freedom? (Sounds like democracy to me.)
Why the hell didn't they just GET a FISA directive ? Maybe because they were afraid of leaks, as seems to be case. Seems some would rather sabotage the President's office than see us track down the terrorists. (Now who could that be ? People inside the WH ? I guess they could be those "some people" you speak about.)
The entire sum of your argument is that "the Left" (anyone who disagrees with Bush) hates Bush so much they support global Islamists. For proof you cite Churchill and Maher, "some people" who leak 
, the newpapers, non-existent investigations. As opposed to you, the hero. It's a fucking joke.
Get over yourself, dude.

Quote:While there is no single answer, the main cause on my inflated intelect (relative the the average) would be curiosity- the need to know how things work. Most peeps are content not quite knowing how an internal combustion engine works, or how a virus is actually transmitted. Early curiosity can lead to neuron growth that might not normally occur. Exactly HOW that curiosity is stimulated is another few hundred answers...

Neither, I would place myself somewhere in the tropo to mesospheric range.

For myself- pretty damn earthbound. I'm slow. Really. It takes me foreffingever to "get" something. I don't trust new ideas, not do I see the possibilities in new technologies. Maybe it has to do with being shy. So I have to grind on stuff 24-7. Seriously.

Professionals have told me I'm "bright", but I look at people all around and think I'm no smarter than they are. Except for a few people, who seem to make a point of being obtuse.
But, Chris, is all, and SignyM ... if I could be as smart as either of you, I'd feel lucky.

Well, where I work it's all a bunch of what are supposedly really smart people. But when I go on jury duty I think - man these people are effin' brilliant.
So maybe it's just me thinking the way I do. Though I seriously wonder why SignyM says (s)he's slow.
Circle jerk ? If being honest is a circle jerk, I suppose it is.

Large difference between intelligence and sense.
lil story for ya...
Some brilliant scientist, he decides to take up a hobby, and so he buys this kit "teach a flew to jump on command, amaze your friends" etc..
And so, he teaches the flea to jump, but being a scientist, decides to then experiment, so he removes one leg from the flea, and tells it to jump, and measures how high, and another, and another, till it's down to one leg and just kinda hops when told to jump.
And so he removes the final leg, and tells it to jump, and of course, it doesn't budge.
And so he writes up a paper on how a flea hears with it's legs, because as you remove them, it's hearing gets progressively worse.
Even a genius can be a moron.
Of intellect and cleverness, I'll pick the latter, having been blessed with it and knowing of it's value.
