>>828 I look at most people as shit, but it doesn't have to do with intelligence. Intelligence isn't something that can be controlled. Either you're smart or you're not, no sense in being proud of something you can't control (like your nationality, etc.) I don't look down on someone with a low IQ, because that wasn't his choice.

No, what I despise is ignorance. Ignorance is something you can control. Different opinions aside, I've got no respect for people who spout off about subjects they know nothing about as if they did. And while education can help, it doesn't always: I've met people without high school diplomas who are very well-informed (and very smart sometimes too) and I've met people with advanced degrees who completely had their heads up their asses.
