I have noticed over the time I've used ICQ (And this goes for all other instant messengers), that there are quite a number of people who seem to have very little intelligence! :Q

I don't know if they just pretend to be extremely stupid, or if they really are that stupid, but sometimes it gets damn annoying! :|

I wouldn't consider myself stupid, moronic or silly maybe, but not stupid.

[edit] Think. What is the number one catagory of people who use AIM and ICQ? Hint: They talk on the phone alot. [/edit]

The people on ICQ who are ignorant idiots just piss me off... there are people who are intelligent and open minded (a couple people on my list, lmao), but not enough :|

That's why there are so many stupid people in the real world, why should there be less ?;)

Agreed. I'm the most intelligent kid in my school :p, and I am 14.

Since when does ICQ have a lock on stupidity? Take a walk down any street. Go to any fast-food joint. Go or look just about anywhere, its rampant...

One of my favorite quotes: &quot;The sum total of the intelligence on the planet is a constant... THe population is increasing&quot;

I don't know who orininally said it. I read it in one of the &quot;Murphy's Law&quot; books...

Thats why I never do the Free For Chat sign on, I always just leave it as available. Otherwise you are asking to be bombarded with messages. ;)

why are people on ICQ stupid? Because of it's <insert random insult here> GUI, annoying sounds, and lack of security. And it's easy to use, which lets <insert random group of people who are very f*-ing dumb> use it with ease.

Hehe, I agree. I use ICQ but I don't consider myself stupid, annoying, or immature like most of the people. I don't put myself available (sp?) for random chat. As a test, I did, and every single day I would get a bunch of people asking for chat.

((ICQ + AOL) +(Emachine)) - $400 rebates + idiots = Fun for all

LOL! That was funny.

I don't know if more intelligent people use AIM or other instant messengers but my friends from school use ICQ so I stay with that. If I get someone who I don't want to talk to, which is about anyone who says &quot;Hey, A/S/l? Wanna chat?&quot; I just put them on invisible/ignore. Hey, if someone thinks I'm mean or an ass for doing that, oh well!

Woah! I tend to go aways with my posts on this forum but it is off-topic after all.
