I had a teacher in J-school that used to claim we were in the top intellectual percentile because we went to university. We all agreed she was a damn lier. :D

We Canadians are pretty stunned.

judging by the thread title, I would say no. Well, at least you are not.

Are you chained up in the lubed section?

No, I run the lube and commemorative photo concession stand in the corner when I'm not out checking the traps for fresh troll meat.

Need some lube, or are you a full sensory impact kind of guy?

Yes please, but can it be done by this woman. Supposedly, she has sins of her country that she is trying to atone for:

Uhh no. I'm sorry very few here are intellectual, but intellectually elite? Not by any standard. Most of ATOT is backwards, anti-social, and morally corrupt, so it is easy to make that mistake at a very cursory glance.

I believe he meant 'elite' in the same way that your republican brethren use the word - that is to say, "smarter than Joe the plumber".

There is a huge difference between being above average in intelligence and wise. Wisdom is hard to find anywhere.

Intelligence, education, and wisdom are all separate and don't always go hand-in-hand. Don't make the mistake of thinking that they are related.

ATOT is better than you. It's better than me. It's better than everybody. It's without equal. Its members, however, are all full of fail. No exceptions.
