And then pretend they know more than others? This annoys me very much

As I have studied psychology at google.com, I see in you a perverse sense of little self esteem.

I know where you're coming from. I know all (probably more than anyone else here) about people commenting about stuff they know nothing about.

Come on dude...it's not really any different than "real life" where people expound constantly on things they don't really know.

"My uncle's friend was told by a friend of his barber who heard it from his mailman who got it first hand from the lady who cleans the house of a guy who works in a place where he overhead someone telling someone about something that his wife heard at the grocery store..." and on and on...yet they KNOW they're 110% right...and you can't convince them that they're wrong.

I don't know what you're talking about. I know everything. I assume other posters do as well.

From a social perspective, it isn't as important to actually be knowledgeable as it is to appear knowledgeable. All the social benefit of actually having knowledge about a subject can be garnered by convincing all listeners that you know what you are talking about. Therefore, it's...


Oh sorry, I was talking out of my ass again... :p
