Title: "nerds"
Post by: MSR5 on December 12, 2007, 05:05:00 pm
Is it just me or is society is becoming more and more hatefull of the smarter people in society?
I mean just doing well in school gets you called a nerd or geek and once they hear you are in advanced math for the grade they look at you as if your not human. :(sad.gif
things really need to change

I think it has always been like that ever since video games exists. Some people like sports or going into bars and drink beer, so when they see someone who like computers or get good grades they think he's not normal and call him a nerd.

I think everyone is free to like whatever they want without having to be threated like s*** imo

I think the Book Hackers & painters describes this trend very well but yeah it basicly says nerds are too cool to waist their time trying to be cool. :)smile.gif

If they call you a nerd, it's because they don't really like you.  Not because you're in advanced math.

Yeah, say something about the molecular mass and ionic compounds of the nerds themselves (I dont even know if that sentence even made sense.. I was never good at chemistry <_<dry.gif). That'll show them.

The pen (keyboard) is mightier than the sword.

They may be able to call you names,
but just remember that these people have a higher probability of ending up scrubbing floors.
Durr NERD Durr!

On a side note: whenever in an uncomfortable situation, imagine your opponent(s) in pink underwear. Makes me laugh and confuses them.

unfortunately some good ppl ends up cleaning floors too tho, but usually you'll see those people doing something nice in life when they're not working or there are those people who have a crappy job but make music, program, draws or make videos or similar stuff in their spare times as hobby

Nerd is a compliment!! (It's geek you gotta worry about...)
My experience is that people call you a nerd until they need your help (then when helping them you "accidentally" give them wrong information, althoughI've only done that twice though, they were idiots, and I mean 3rd-4th grade IQ idiots)
The classes I take are the advanced math/science and the idiot history/english, so I average out  :Ptongue.gif

Where it as a badge of honor (hey maybe I really should make a badge!)

[rant] Also, some nerds don't actually do that well in school. I, for instance couldn't have cared less until I was presented with a motivation. Unfortunately, by that time I had a C average (from zero work on my part), thus nullifying the incentive presented to me in the first place. that should serve as a lesson to you all... If you can get through life successfully without going through school, DO IT! In fact the very concept of public schools is nearly enough to put me into a rage. [/rant]

I've been able to maintain an A average without doing any real work, but that doesn't mean anything.  

Just because someone's an idiot or a nerd doesn't mean that he is any less of a person then you, and this is something both idiots and nerds (and everyone in between) need to learn.  You really shouldn't give someone the wrong answers just because they're mean to you, just a 'I'm busy' would be enough (or you could even help them.  If you treat them with kindness they're likely to the same for you).  If you give the wrong answers you're sinking to there level (and in the end giving the 'idiots' a reason to be jerks).

Idiots are people to you know :Ptongue.gif.

maybe i have a different opinion because the opposite happened to me most of the time, especially IRL: When I helped people who never did anything bad to me before, once they were sastisfied they didn't care anymore and threated me like s*** and harrassed me
